Chapter 3992: Life Backfire
Through this connection of vitality, Xia De knew Adele's current state and knew that she, who was so powerful that she could close the star boundary crack with her bare hands and resist the death meteor group, was not in the peak state of life.
And Adele also perceived Xia De's situation during this process. Although Xia De's vitality had not fully recovered, she perceived that even with the suppression of the doomsday environment, his recovery speed was surprisingly fast.
At the same time, in the process of the blood being continuously sucked by her unconsciously, she actually perceived something very difficult to detect from Xia De's blood.
This does not refer to the spirit and mental power mixed in Xia De's vitality. Even a demigod Great Witch could not describe what it was. Perhaps it was related to the power of the gods, perhaps related to Xia De's mysterious origin, but it was undoubtedly a part of Xia De's essence.
This strange essence affected his form of life existence, which in turn made his blood possess special power—the gods could spontaneously affect the surrounding environment and change the basic world rules after descending into the material world, and this blood made the human body possess the ability to resist rules.
This was the external manifestation of Xia De's strong resistance, and if this blood was drunk by others, especially those whose bodies and souls were extremely in need of external power, then the blood could exert a very terrifying recovery effect.
"This is the reason why Vigo needs Xia De's blood... Galina and the others have the most intimate relationship with him, and they must have sucked a lot usually, so they promoted so fast..."
Adele blushed and let herself not think about these, and continued to teach Xia De power.
As the two resonated with each other's vitality, the power born after the doomsday came was also successfully mastered by Xia De. The nameless person who created this power had already died in the era of the end of the world, but this power was indeed remarkable—
【Outlander, you have mastered the spell "Life Backfire": by oscillating your own vitality in a specific way, you can attract the surrounding energy to transform into pure life energy.】
【Note: In the case of lower proficiency, the efficiency of using this method to extract vitality is lower than the efficiency of Ringed Shushi naturally recovering vitality.】
【Note: The vitality extracted by this method can be used to release "Life Ray."】
The efficiency of this recovery is very low, and it is useless for Ringed Shushi in the "present world" who are not affected by the doomsday environment most of the time. But because this recovery guarantees the purity of life energy, it is very useful in specific occasions.
"Look."
Confirming that Xia De had learned it, Adele demonstrated it by casting a spell. She closed her eyes, and then a layer of blood-colored fire light rippled on her body surface. This was the external manifestation of the oscillation of the demigod's vitality.
Then, a small piece of blood-red flame light spots appeared around Adele, and these flame light spots were absorbed into her body. When she opened her eyes again, her life energy was indeed improved, which did not even consume much of her spirit and mental power.
"The only thing worth noting is that you cannot continuously recover a large amount of vitality in this way. This life energy comes from the outside world. Using too much of this life energy will cause you to assimilate with the source of vitality, that is, assimilate with the world."
Adele warned again, and Xia De asked:
"What is the specific manifestation? Turning into nothingness?"
"No, it's turning into a stone statue. But as long as it's not a continuous large amount of recovery, this power is really too easy to use for this era."
Xia De nodded. He did need this kind of power. After all, he had a spell like "Life Ray" that directly released life energy. Although Xia De felt that only the undead would be afraid of "Life Ray," the spell Adele taught him was indeed very good.
The time Xia De could support here was running out. Then the two didn't talk about these serious matters, and Xia De hugged Adele and said love words.
The lonely witch was waiting, waiting, waiting for her lover's every arrival and call. She curled up in his arms, even though she knew this warmth would leave soon, she still greedily missed the temperature at this moment.
Xia De suddenly said:
"Adele, I have a plan I want to tell you. After I leave this time, I have completed the time task 179=26 times. Deducting the 3 times consumed by meeting Blaney, I have 23 available times."
"I want to open a time transit station in the 【Corridor of Time】 again and meet you."
The witch in his arms then raised her head from Xia De's chest:
"Why?"
She didn't understand:
"In order to save this precious task count, you didn't even go directly to the demigod of the Fifth Era to ask about the matter of "Dragon Book: Breeding and Growth". Summoning me requires 10 task counts. Do you have anything to ask me? If so, you can ask now, or ask next month."
Xia De shook his head:
"I was considering that there are other ways to contact the Fifth Era, so I didn't open the transit station because of that book. As for finding you, I just felt that since I had accumulated enough task counts, I wanted to meet you again. They in the Fifth Era have many companions, but you only have me."
Adele was moved, but firmly refused:
"If you dare to do this, even if I appear in the transit station, I won't say a word to you. Xia De, I know you have your own ideas, but at least this time, you have to listen to me."
Since Xia De had said his thoughts, he had no intention of taking them back:
"23 minus 10, there are 13 counts left, plus 【Bloody Factory】 is 14 counts, which is completely enough to find them in the Fifth Era and you at this moment in an emergency."
"Every time I come here, I have tasks to complete or things to tell; every time I summon you to the present world, there are always powerful enemies to deal with. I want to give you a chance to rest completely. Even if you don't speak, I am willing to hold you and let you lie quietly.
When I called Blaney last time, she existed for a total of three hours, but we had a lot of interaction. If I just hold you without saying a word, you might be able to stay in the transit station longer."
Adele was speechless for a while, she heard Xia De's determination. Originally, there were many words she wanted to use to persuade him, but at this moment, she couldn't say any of them.
She didn't try to persuade him again, but curled back into Xia De's chest to listen to his heartbeat:
"As long as the girls around you don't think it was me who bewitched you, making you waste task counts for nothing."
"Won't."
The Outlander decided to brag about himself rarely:
"I have a very high status at home, they won't blame me."
Adele showed a smile, but put forward her own requirements:
"If you really want to call me, can you execute this plan after seeing me next month? I only have this requirement."
It was just a delay of one month, Xia De of course would not have any opinions:
"Of course, but next month, don't say 'delay another month'."
"Won't."
Adele said softly, but she didn't tell Xia De the reason. But the reason was also very simple, Xia De had said the rules, behaviors such as "turning purity into impurity" would consume a lot of time for the transit station to exist.
So in order to make the most of the opportunity exchanged for ten task counts, Adele decided... she was shy in her heart, so her hands hugged Xia De's neck and offered her kiss.
After being slightly intimate, Xia De felt that the time he could persist had reached its limit. After reluctantly saying goodbye to Adele, he took out the card just now and turned it to the front—
This was the 9th "Calamity Card" Xia De obtained, and also the 8th "Doomsday Pantanal Xiewu." The pattern on the back of the card was still consistent with the Luo De card. After turning the card to the front, he only saw the top of the card written in gilded Karsenrik language:
【Snake of Possibility】
The pattern below the text was "Calamity Town · Kyle-Todd Town," which had been buried by yellow sand for the most part. Countless Professor Reinhardts with different shapes stood on the sand dunes, looking in the same direction with their backs to the card face.
According to the dilapidated walls depicted on the card face, Xia De roughly calculated that the professors on the card face were looking at the home he had with his wife.
At the bottom of the card face, three sentences were written:
【Infinite possibilities are also infinite lost ways.】
【The disaster of wrong destiny comes from Fatu Munster Island.】
【Basic principle of destiny: When all destinies point to errors, infinite possibilities will only lead to greater errors.】
Then Xia De entered the memory of the evil thing corresponding to this card.
The first memory was obviously in the evening. When Xia De's consciousness cleared, he found himself standing at the familiar pier of Kyle-Todd Town.
The season at this moment was obviously winter, the whole town was covered in silver, and most of the people in the town gathered on the pier, among whom the Reinhardt couple and Elder Harald stood at the front.
Mrs. Reinhardt was sobbing on the small boat by the pier, and Elder Ursa was comforting her. Elder Harald looked much older. Accompanied by Elder Vilda and Elder Sorin, he looked at the sea under the blue sky with a blank expression and didn't say anything, while Elder Uller did not appear.
Although the deceased was powerful before his death, he was not a real elder, so there was no need to be buried in the black lake next to the spring in the snow mountain. Here, it was obviously a traditional sea burial of the Fatu people, and everyone was mourning.
Xia De even saw the figures of Adele and Luweiya in the distance. Perhaps the Witch Council would recover the corpse later, because what was happening here was the funeral of Claire Reinhardt.
The memory lasted a long time. As the subject of the memory, Mr. Reinhardt did not say a word during the entire funeral, nor did he cry.
After the funeral ended, the professor refused the company of others, staying alone at the pier to watch the ship carrying the corpse head off into the sunset ocean. Afterward, he walked on foot into the forest outside the town, collapsed against a tree, and began to cry:
"If, if only I could possess power, if I hadn't come here in the first place, if I had called Claire home that day..."
