Chapter 464 The Terrifying Growth Brought About by the Battle with the Black Dragon
call out!
The moment the celestial elixir entered her throat, Alphia was suddenly enveloped in a vibrant green light. The immense healing energy surged like a raging river of life, relentlessly washing over her fragile body on the verge of collapse.
Alphia's tense expression relaxed slightly, and the pain between her brows lessened as a result.
However, as she herself said.
This body was already riddled with holes and decaying beyond repair, teetering on the brink of death! No matter how powerful and surging the healing force was, it could not reverse the predetermined end! On that exquisitely beautiful face, a sickly flush barely rose due to the stimulation of the medicine.
But it was like a candle flickering in the wind, gone in an instant!
The next moment, an even deeper ashen color covered her pretty face, extinguishing that pitiful bit of life.
The only visible improvement was that the gruesome blood hole in his waist and abdomen was rapidly healing under the nourishment of the surging life force, with the torn muscles covered by tender new skin and flesh. However, this only repaired the external wound.
Roy frowned. This was a real problem. If Alphia died and he resurrected her with the Tenseiga, he would probably inherit her terminal illness.
That would only delay death for a while!
Roy hadn't expected the illness to be so troublesome, especially since Alphia had a terminal illness.
If there is any way to save the other party—
Roy's gaze fell on the system's reward—"The Heart of the Crimson Dragon." What would happen if Alphia transplanted this heart and gained a dragon's physique?
It has to be said that it's worth trying.
Alphia's great work was already completed, but she has not been able to upgrade because her terminal illness makes her body unable to withstand more drastic changes, and her upper limit is locked!
The enhancement brought by the Crimson Dragon Heart can forcibly grant the opponent a body even stronger than LV.8.
The problem is that the conditions for surgery are not yet ripe!
Roy suppressed this thought; there was no rush, the elixir of heaven had already temporarily saved her life.
After the long, dark black dress dried, Alfia put it back on. Every movement she made exuded endless allure, revealing large swaths of her snow-white skin, much to Roy's delight.
Alphia had no strength left to do anything to Roy. She was still extremely tired and curled up weakly by the campfire, barely able to move. Each faint breath tugged at her pale lips.
"call!"
Alphia's gaze toward Roy became more complicated. Although the boy in front of her was extremely arrogant in his words, he did nothing to her the whole time.
However, the thought of being forced to drink the elixir still made Alphia very unhappy. A mocking smile appeared on her pretty face, as if to say: See, this is the effect of me drinking the elixir!
In Alphia's opinion, this was a complete waste of money; there was no point in her drinking it.
It only prolongs her death and increases her suffering.
This mockery didn't last long, as it was interrupted by a faint sound from Alphia's abdomen.
Alphia's eyelashes trembled slightly.
Agility: 86 → 523 (D)
Magic Power: 189 → 598 (D)
Development Abilities: Adventure (C→B), Forging (C), Abnormal Resistance (C), Invincibility (D→C), Domineering Strike (D→C), Combo (E→C), Domineering Light (I→H)
Roy clicked to update his ability stats.
The values on the personal panel changed dramatically, rising rapidly before finally settling down, with the total ability value increasing to an astonishing 1988!
The stamina attribute is still breaking through, which is due to the fatal injury caused by the pierced heart.
For anyone else, this breakthrough would be meaningless, since they were about to die. But who would have thought that Roy would have a resurrection ability that surpassed the limit!
There were also many gains in other areas.
Except for the two development abilities of forging and abnormal resistance, all other development abilities have been upgraded!
Seeing the terrifying improvement on his personal panel, Roy couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, he needed to find some powerful opponents to fight. The improvement he gained from fighting the Black Dragon to the death was comparable to the improvement he gained from hunting two or three LV.9 targets.
This also shows how huge the gap is between him and the Black Dragon; that battle was purely a desperate act of unleashing his full power.
"hiss!"
Thanks to his extraordinary endurance and powerful self-healing ability, Roy felt a slight itching sensation from the crisscrossing wounds on his body. Unless he suffered a fatal injury, he could probably slowly heal himself.
The excruciating pain receded slowly like the tide, leaving only a deep weariness in my mind.
"call!"
Roy leaned against a gnarled ancient tree, his head slightly drooping, and drifted into a deep sleep.
The flickering campfire on the ground was enough to make most forest animals shrink back, but it couldn't scare away the dangerous species. Roy remained vigilant even in his sleep.
Any unusual movement or disturbance would instantly trigger Roy, this resting beast, to erupt into action.
This deep-seated vigilance is a survival instinct forged through countless struggles on the brink of death and in the dark, deadly dungeons, tempered by blood and fire.
Time slipped away silently.
A ray of morning light pierced through the layers of branches and leaves, turning the thin mist in the forest into a pale gold color. The crisp chirping of birds began to rise from the branches, announcing the arrival of a new day.
Alphia's eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings as she slowly opened her eyes. The initial confusion and heavy weariness quickly faded, and her eyes became bright.
-
A long-lost sense of comfort enveloped her.
As if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted, she, who was afflicted with a terminal illness, could no longer remember the last time she had slept so comfortably; it was the effect of a miraculous medicine from heaven.
A bottle of celestial elixir brought her a moment of peaceful sleep; if it weren't for the special circumstances this time, Roy wouldn't have been able to afford to support her.
The embers of the campfire glowed a faint crimson, lingering in the morning light, with wisps of smoke drifting by.
Alphia's eyes subconsciously swept around her surroundings. Where was that little brat who dared to threaten her?
Suddenly, her gaze settled on Roy, who was leaning against the gnarled ancient tree. The boy had his head down and his chest barely rose and fell, like a stone statue.
"Hey, time to get up!" Alphia shouted.
no respond.
"Roy?!" Alphia called softly, her voice trembling slightly.
There has still been no response.
Alphia finally realized something was wrong and panicked. Roy's injuries were no less severe than hers; his heart had even been damaged. Would there be any long-term effects? With only half a bottle of elixir, could he survive? Many unsettling worries surfaced in her mind.
"Roy!" The call suddenly rose in pitch, and Alphia's heart felt as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand. Ignoring the pain in her body, she struggled to prop herself up and staggered toward the silent figure.
"Roy!!"
Just as Alphia's fingertips were about to touch Roy, his head suddenly lifted up.
Roy suddenly opened his eyes, and in his deep pupils was reflected Alphia's pale face, which was close at hand and filled with pain, anxiety and fear.
Eyes facing each other.
Alphia froze instantly.
Roy was a little confused. "What are you doing?"
Realizing her lapse in composure and misjudgment, an extremely rare, burning blush spread from Alphia's slender neck upwards, staining her cheeks and ear tips.
"Since you're still alive, why didn't you answer me!" Alphia was furious and embarrassed. With her grace sealed, she couldn't sense Roy's presence at all.
That wretched black dragon! He made her lose face like this! Killing intent +1, killing intent +1, killing intent +10086 ———. Her reasons to live have increased again, and her faith has become stronger!
Roy was inexplicably scolded; was this woman's morning temper really that bad? Roy had a headache, and he still had to spend some time with her.
Roy said, "Let's go, let's leave this forest and find a place where humans live."
Although hunting is possible in the forest, resources are scarce and nutrition is unbalanced. Even with an extremely strong LV.8 physique, it is difficult to endure for long periods of time. To cure Alphia's terminal illness, one must leave this place.
More importantly, there are the dungeon quests!
What puzzled Roy was that the instance quest hadn't popped up yet, so how was he supposed to complete the quest and return to the original world?
So we can only take it one step at a time!
Alphia naturally had no objections. She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up straight, but her weak legs trembled slightly uncontrollably.
"Come up!" Roy squatted down in front of her.
"I can walk by myself!" Alphia remained defiant.
"I just think you walk too slowly and you'll slow me down!" Roy pouted, "Who cares if you can walk or not!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment and annoyance flashed in Alphia's bright heterochromatic eyes. In a fit of pique, she used all her strength to leap onto Roy's broad back.
Her exquisitely beautiful body slammed heavily onto Roy's back, Alphia even with a hint of venting her anger, wishing she could crush you, you little bastard.
But Roy remained as still as a mountain.
Feeling the warm, soft touch on his back, Roy moved one hand steadily backward to support Alphia's knees and the back of her thighs.
Roy carried Alphia on his back and headed in one direction, hoping to eventually get out of the forest.
"roar!"
This forest was fraught with danger. Suddenly, a roar ripped through the forest's tranquility, and a saber-toothed tiger, as big as a small car and with menacing fangs, emerged from the jungle, pouncing menacingly towards the two of them!
A strong wind blew against her face, ruffling Alphia's loose silver hair. Her pupils reflected the ferocious jaws of the tiger, but her face showed no panic. Instead, she seemed a little puzzled, wondering what kind of monster it was.
In a flash, Roy glanced at it, stopped, and unleashed his right fist like a cannonball.
boom!
A loud bang, mixed with the cracking of bones, exploded out.
The iron fist, as powerful as a thousand pounds, slammed domineeringly onto the hardest part of the saber-toothed tiger's skull, and the terrifying force exploded, shattering the hard skull in response!
The saber-toothed tiger's forward lunge came to an abrupt halt, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
It twitched a few times, then fell completely silent.
Roy slowly closed his fist, a viscous liquid mixed with tiger blood and brain matter dripping from between his fingers.
The whole process was so fast that it only took a blink of an eye.
Roy, at level 8, is capable of instantly killing most people in this world. If he can't kill them with one punch, he's a complete failure!
