CLANG!!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their weapons met in a flurry of strikes and parries, but Lucas held his composure, his mind focused on his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a swift adjustment of his stance, he allowed the white knight a brief opening to reset its position, buying himself the necessary distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden aura flared around him as he honed in on a new approach, deciding on restraint rather than outright elimination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'[Void Step].'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a spark of golden-white lightning tracing his movements, Lucas's form blurred, almost invisible as he surged forward, his blade gleaming with precision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white knight hesitated, clearly thrown off by this sudden change in attack. Its rigid defenses faltered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'[Twin Lights].'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas's blade slashed in a precise arc, cutting through the knight's leg with an effortless grace that sent it spinning mid-air from the sheer force of the blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White energy trails, like wisps of smoke, seeped from the damaged armor as the soundless knight struggled to reorient itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite its calculated movements, it was still a beat too slow, unable to keep up with Lucas's near-instantaneous repositioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the white knight aimed its blade toward Lucas's exposed back to try and retaliate, Lucas blurred and vanished once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Void Step]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the white knight saw was a flash of intense white light, filling its vision before it could even process the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Mid-Grade Light Magic]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Solace]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>BOOM!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The magical arrow struck with deafening force, engulfing the white knight in a radiant explosion of searing light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blast shook the ground, and when the dust settled, fragments of white armor scattered across the pristine field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucas watched as the last traces of white aura dissipated, his breathing steady as he looked at the person who landed next to him...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good job,\" Rose said, eyeing Lucas with a look of relief and pride before handing him a bottle of red potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks...\" Lucas replied, wiping the sweat off his brow before downing the potion in a single gulp. He could feel its warmth spreading through him, easing his exhaustion. \"Did you get him?\" he asked, his gaze flicking to Rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rose nodded casually and held up a dented white knight's helm as evidence. \"Yes. I summoned some light wisps to aid Janica a while ago as well-she should be finishing up on her end soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's a relief...\" Lucas murmured, his expression easing slightly as he expanded his mana sense to check on Janica's situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could feel her mana spiking here and there, indicating intense but controlled fighting. Though the spear-wielding knight she was facing was formidable, Lucas sensed the enemy's mana dimming gradually. His attention turned back to Rose. \"What about Riley?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of worry crossed Rose's face as she shook her head. \"I still can't sense his mana...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see...\" Lucas's brow furrowed as he focused, expanding his mana sense further in a desperate attempt to pick up any trace of Riley's presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there was nothing, only a haunting silence where his technical friend's familiar energy should have been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been some time since the ambush by the white knights, and Riley had taken a powerful\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>hit meant for Janica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blow had knocked him away, disappearing him from the battlefield in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, despite the silence, Lucas and the others still believed he was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just keep moving forward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Riley's last words to them before he vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn't have said it so confidently if he thought he was dying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TSK!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it...\" I muttered, clicking my tongue in frustration as I tried to ignore the dizziness\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>creeping over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hole in my right chest throbbed with each beat of my heart, blood seeping out faster than\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could manage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skill Activated: Pain Nullifier (A)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to my skill the pain was dulled, thankfully, but the danger of blood loss and fatigue\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>still loomed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reaching for my pouch, I grabbed a few vials of high-grade potions, pouring them directly\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>onto the wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The raw flesh sizzled painfully as the potion made contact, heat pulsing around the injury as it slowly began knitting itself back together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take time-more time than I had to spare, but it was my only option for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With my head pressing against the cold wall behind me, I forced myself to relax, doing my\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>best to assess the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't afford to panic, not with the severity of my current restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: User is now

adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was in a dimly lit white cavern, far less bright than the exterior of this place, but it was\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>unmistakably a cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rough, irregular terrain and jagged stalactites overhead confirmed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning my head back, I closed my eyes for a moment, my mind racing through my options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ambush had come out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One moment, we were advancing through the dungeon, and the next, a deadly arrow shot\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>toward Janica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had no choice but to use my [Time Stop] skill, knowing full well the limitations and side effects that would follow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there wasn't time to hesitate-if I hadn't taken that hit, it would have pierced straight\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>through Janica's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The arrow-[White Whistle]-that shot a hole in my chest, was no ordinary attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it completely ignored the parry I did and shot straight through its intended target the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'heart'.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a blend of skill, technique, magic, and divinity itself, all woven into a single projectile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made it truly unsettling was that [White Whistle] wasn't something a mere white knight should have access to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the game, only those directly in the White Queen's presence could wield such a powerful,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>blessed technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'So why did that knight possess it?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was her dungeon granting these knights access to powers they wouldn't normally have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was entirely plausible...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The restrictions normally associated with White Whistle should have shackled me, presenting\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>and binding me under the influence of the White Bishop, their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I felt no such restraints.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usual effects of the skill appeared to have misfired, and I couldn't help but recall that\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>moment when Rose unleashed a spear of light on the archer knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Rose's attack disrupted the skill, giving me a chance to avoid the worst of its hold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the reason, luck seemed to be on my side this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Return]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Note: Skill [Return] restricted, damage offset beyond the soul's threshold for recovery...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, I couldn't just cheat my way and heal my body in an instant huh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Return was powerful, but an S-rank blessed skill like [White Whistle) left damage even my highest-grade skills couldn't fully erase on demand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remnants of divine energy resisted repair, making the recovery process a slow,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>painstaking ordeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My thoughts drifted to Lucas, Rose, and Janica.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hated leaving them exposed to another ambush, especially now that I knew these knights\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>wielded their Queen's blessed arts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, the nature of White Whistle meant it could only be used once-no other knight\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>should be able to fire another arrow of its kind anytime soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least that gave Rose and Lucas an advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They should've picked up on the distinct mana signature of [White Whistle] from the attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that knowledge, they could counter the next ambush before it even launched. Even if the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>other White Knights have access to the [Silver Pierce] or the [Colorless Wave].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'd told them to push forward to avoid being cornered or held down. While I was forced to fall behind, there was an odd advantage to this arrangement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Bishop's attention should now be focused on me, marking me as the primary target\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>since I'd taken the initial hit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He should be searching for me considering the skills' intended effect malfunctioned teleporting me in this random cave...'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some time, that would take the pressure off them and give them room to maneuver ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every moment counted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don't know if there are enemies nearby with all my restricted stats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All I had to do now was survive until this restriction lifted-then I could finally rejoin them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1652,"2026-06-03T14:40:38.925Z",1,"novelbin.me","ab5be8f6416497a8740da27643f5582a200d7b6c7a083823ab888c41bdbbf0a2","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-239","how-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-chapter-237",727,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhow-to-survive-in-the-romance-fantasy-game-cover.jpg"]
