Chapter 642: Divine Soul Descent (III) (2/2)

It did not kill him? Cai’er’s group of four looked at that green skeleton in disbelief.

But the next instant, clang sounds reverberated, as the green light surrounding that green skeleton splattered like a falling egg, splitting open from head to toes.

“Third Holy Guard acknowledges allegiance to you.” In a flash of green light, a sort of green arrow shot toward Cai’er, making way inside the Eternal Melody.

Cai’er couldn’t attend to feeling the heat from the Eternal Melody submerging her, and strode forward toward Wang Yuanyuan at once.

What she saw was a deep murderous spirit and conviction gradually watering down. A look of relief and gratification gradually appeared, but her eyes had cleared, then become ashen white.

This instant, a blood colored radiance shot to her side, containing a fist sized rune flashing out from beside Cai’er to make its way inside Wang Yuanyuan’s forehead.

Wang Yuanyuan’s body shook violently, and her originally ashen white pupils regained some color. Letting out a stuffy groan, she fell to the ground.

Cai’er hastily caught her body, while on the other side Zhang Fangfang also collapsed.

Wang Yuanyuan was already unconscious, but Zhang Fangfang, still conscious, displayed a smile of satisfaction, “This time, Yuanyuan is to be left to me without any possible other option. Now I can be satisfied. You all have to succeed!”

After saying this, Zhang Fangfang’s eyes shut, going unconscious.

After he went unconscious too, a strange scene took place. From Wang Yuanyuan and Zhang Fangfang dispersed faint blood-colored rays, and on their foreheads started to glint similar blood-colored runes.

These two runes were completely different, but on their edge one could see that if they were joined, it would make a single complete rune. But just what could they stand for?

Han Yu supported Zhang Fangfang’s body with his hand, slowly placing it beside Wang Yuanyuan. Kneeling on one knee, his fist on the chest, he resonantly performed a knight salute of the most solemn kind.

This was an etiquette of great homage.

“Han Yu, hurry up and get on with healing magic! Why aren’t you treating them?” Beside them, Lin Xin already couldn’t hold his thoughts.

Han Yu shook his head calmly, “There’s no use, healing magic won’t have any effect on them. Brother Zhang is the most respect-worthy young knight I have ever encountered outside Boss.”

Cai’er asked in a rush, “Will there be anything happening to them?”

“……”

Han Yu shook his head, and replied, “Their lives are not endangered, it’s just that...”

Lin Xin was hasty, “Don’t cut off what you're saying in the middle, can you? Just what is going on with them?”

Han Yu took a deep breath, also feeling emotional, “If I am not mistaken, the power Yuanyuan just utilized was totally past her limits. Using her own blood vessels to call a God’s Descent through the Divine Soul Shield and launching two attacks depleted nearly all her vital forces. She had to ignite her own life, to raise her blood vessels to their limit of tolerance. Only like that could she achieve that summon. But as a result, Yuanyuan’s life is coming to its limit after the battle’s termination.”

“Didn’t you say their lives were not endangered?” Cai’er questioned hastily.

“This is where Brother Zhang really is worthy of respect. Although this is not a magic spell I am capable of using, it can be seen from the symbols that what he used should be a secret life-saving technique passed from old times, to transmit one’s life to another, passing the caster’s vital force to a target on the verge of death to extend the target’s life. From Brother Zhang’s look and the gloss on this rune, he should have passed half his life straight to Yuanyuan, which is to say that if he originally should have had a hundred years left to live, now Yuanyuan and him will only be able to share fifty for each of them.”

Hearing Han Yu so far, Cai’er and Lin Xin both couldn’t help but gasp. No matter how ice-cold Cai’er’s dispositions were, she couldn’t help but involuntarily cry out bitterly at this instant.

“Yuanyuan, why did you do that? If Haochen was let known that you guys had to pay such a cost for his sake, I’m afraid he would not even be willing to let himself be resurrected.” Shaking greatly, Cai’er understood that, to come so far, there had already been three of her comrades that had to go to the brink of death, while Zhang Fangfang had to give half his life expectancy away. For the sake of resurrecting Long Haochen, they had paid far too much.

[a]*TC* Not sure which chapter this was introduced, but you might want to check it

[b]never I think

[c]ok, I thought there was something about her revealing her special body characteristic to the group, but maybe not...

161 has ”her Gigantic Divine Soul Shield, ... the might of this blood-bound equipment that is already close to the legendary tier ”

That and her constant abnormal bloodlust must have gotten me confused with something else
