Chapter 3: A Programmer Also Has Magic Power? (2/2)
Yan tried to move, and his face changed.
When Sister Lan realized that she was successful, she suddenly pointed her finger towards the sky. The sky which was initially with golden moon suddenly filled with dark clouds. Instantly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Among them, nine bucket-thick thunderbolts struck from the sky.
”Thunder Sovereign of the Nine Heavens!”
Just at that moment when Sister Lan was pointing her finger at the sky, Liu Shuai immediately sat down, made a seal with his hands, and chanted an incantation. Suddenly, he also pointed to the sky, and the gold powder scattered all over suddenly gathered and formed the shape of the room once again. The thunderbolts struck the thin layer of the gold powder with lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. However they did not break the golden powder, so they continued striking one by one. Every time a thunderbolt struck, Liu Shuai's face would turn whiter than before, and when the last thunderbolt struck, fresh blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth, then he was about to fall down.
Zhou Yuan was completely scared just now, but now he reacted quickly and immediately sat on the ground, holding Liu Shuai in his arms and preventing him from falling.
”He's used too much essence energy.” Yan hurriedly took out a pill from his pocket and fed it to Liu Shuai, ”We'll have troubles. If he is unconscious, we won't be able to get out!”
At this time, it seemed that Sister Lan had used up all her energy and fainted on the ground as well. The two men beside her with a dull look in their eyes and did not make the slightest movement. A sharp voice which they could not tell it's a man or a woman, came from the outside: ”Yan, although you do not have any supernatural power, you still have a title. Me, the Grand Mother, No matter how capable I am, I can only trap you but can’t shatter your soul. However, you won't be able to save these few fresh souls! You can leave now and hand over those souls to me. Don’t worry, I will not make troubles for you. First, I will fall those souls into alive animals, and then kill the animals. The dead body with soul left will not be under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, so even if I take these souls, I will not make it hard for you to explain! ”
As the voice faded, the scenery outside the square gradually turned blurry until nothing could be seen clearly. Needless to say, this was two world separating technique, and the entire square was apart …
”Hum hum, don't bluff! Your real body is not here. These three people have already become your puppets. This woman has exhausted all of your energy in her body!” Yan roared, then frowned and looked at me, and said softly, ”What she said is true that I have no magic power now. The best thing is, I will negotiate with her and let her get you out.”
”How can you say that! This is clearly an intrigue to divide the power! ”I watched the scenery outside and said loudly, ”How can I leave like this! These are our friends! How can you just stand by and watch us die! ”
”My job was to stand by and watch you die!” Yan replied. Although there's nothing wrong with his words, his ice-cold reply was still hard to accept.
Yan looked at me, lowered his head, thought for a while, and raised his head and shouted, ”Where are you from, how dare you demon destroy souls here? If our Underworld find it out, we will send you to the Land of Ninth Nether, never to reincarnate!”
”Hahaha, there are so few talented people in the Underworld. If it was a few decades earlier, I would still be wary of you. But now, since you don't know how to appreciate favors, don't blame me for breaking the rules!” As Grand Mother spoke, the lightning began to flash outside and thunder rumbled. After a while, hail began to fall and hit the thin layer of gold powder by the blowing winds.
”I've only get the basics of the Two Elements Golden Radiance, and I won't be able to hold on for long. The odds are against me tonight...” Liu Shuai slowly opened his eyes and said softly, ”Fair enough. Zhou Yuan, help me sit properly.”
Zhou Yuan lost his wits, holding up Liu Shuai with his trembled hands. ”Zhou Yuan, although the calamity today was caused by your wills that wants to get extraordinary ability to improve yourself by losing your soul. But anyway, we were responsible for the incorrect evaluation to you in the past as well, so I also deserve it. I'm sorry that I didn't expect our evaluation to be so harmful. On behalf of the R & D colleagues, I want to tell you that we have never had any complaints or doubts about your character and your attitudes towards work. All of our past complaints and denials were not directed at you personally, but only to the fact itself.”
”You saw it today, because of your greed, we may never have a tomorrow. I hope that in the future, you can listen to the voice of your soul and not let it distort …”
Zhou Yuan's voice became softer and softer, gradually becoming silent. Zhou Yuan was already crying into tears: ”Liu Shuai, you can't die like this. It's all my fault! It's silly me! How can I not know that no pains no gains.”
Liu Shuai suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Zhou Yuan. “Who told you I am dead? I am activating the Two Elements Golden Radiance! ”
Zhou Yuan and I were extremely embarrassed, for we shouldn't have been so sensational just now. Liu Shuai ignored us and muttered an incantation, then he took out a needle from somewhere and inserted it into his forehead. His pale face became even paler.
Quick, give this to him! Yan took out a pill, and told me to place it under Liu Shuai’s tongue, ”He is forcing himself to convert his essence energy into power, and if he does not replenish some energy, I am afraid he will die from exhaustion!”
”You have so many pills …” I couldn't help but exclaim. This pill was in brown, and not only did it give off a peculiar light, but also had a nice fragrance.
”Of course,” Yan said with a little pride. ”This is the high-energy Maltesers that I bought. One piece now is equals to five pcs before.
I was suddenly speechless. ”You use Maltesers to make spiritual medicine? How poor is your Underworld!? I thought it was some good stuff, but how unreliable you are! ”
Yan got a bit embarrassed after getting scolded by me, ”The magic pills in your TV plays that could save lives are just these stuff, aren't they? What’s more, he really need to replenish his energy…”
At that time, the house became blurt and the hail outside the window seemed to have stopped. Lying in front of the window, I saw that the hail was slowly flying towards the window at a speed which was visible to the naked eye. Strangely, when the hail approached the window, it suddenly disappeared, as if it had entered another space, and flew outwards to another space.
”What is this? Two Elements Dust Array? ”The voice began to yell, ”No! Why was there only Illusion Gate? Where are the other five of Life Gate, Death Gate, Night Gate, Light Gate and Extermination Gate? You little bald donkey, this Two Elements Dust Array that only has Illusion Gate is no more than a fake. It’s true that everything in your city could be copied, but only with this kind of ability, it can't stop me. The Soul Hunters, Go! ”
With the words, the two men's bodies immediately trembled. They stared at our position, and their eyes shot out green light as they quickly ran towards us. They got to our gold powder wall and punched it, as if they were hitting Liu Shuai's chest, which cause him to spill out another mouthful of blood.
”Oh no, the Illusion Gate cannot block the real body, and these two people are real human body!” Yan moved again, but he still did not have any magic power, ”What should we do now? These two people are obviously boosted by the secret technique, and they are specialize in training physical strength and martial power. Without magic power, I am no match for them. We will be killed.”
