Chapter 415: Miraculous speed of recovery (1/2)
GDK 415 – Miraculous speed of recovery
When the sacred knight who had injured Han Shuo saw Han Shuo turn around to fly toward Lawrence, he hesitated for a moment but did not pursue and attack.
Apart from sacred swordmaster Karel, there was also space sacred magus in the direction Han Shuo flew in. With two sacred ranked experts there and earth sacred magus Dempus yet to recover, the sacred knight clearly felt some apprehension.
With the sacred knight not daring to act blindly, the experts from the Church of Light as well as under Ashburn and Prince Charles naturally wouldn’t foolishly charge forward to their deaths. Hence, they all looked on helplessly as Han Shuo shouted vicious words before flying rapidly toward Lawrence’s side.
As of now, Lawrence’s residence had been thoroughly wrecked by the fight between the two sacred ranked experts and the ‘Shatter Earth’ spell. All that could be seen were collapsed buildings and desolation.
The servants, workers and maids in Lawrence’s residence had long since been massacred. Currently there were merely less than ten trusted aides by Lawrence’s side. In contrast, even after the losses to the ‘Shatter Earth’ spell, the enemy still had almost four hundred experts with astonishing strength from various professions. The sounds of iron hoofs could be heard gradually approaching, seeming that there were still reinforcement troops heading over.
Earth sacred magus Dempus lightly exhaled as strands of purple specks floated out of his body. The cold aura that penetrated the bones was diffused out with the purple specks.
Dempus was after all a sacred magus and was extremely proficient in manipulating mental energy. Although the invasion of the cold aura was able to chill and even freeze his body, once he came to his senses and used his mental energy to dispel the chilliness, the cold aura was clearly unable to threaten his life.
Furthermore, when the cold aura from the Demonslayer Edge entered his body, it was after he had resisted it twice with magic. Only a few strands of the dense cold poison was able to enter his body. A magus at his level naturally wouldn’t be killed that easily by a few strands of cold poison.
After Dempus dispelled the cold aura within his body, he still had some lingering fears. Fortunately, he had reacted promptly and there were many experts guarding by his side. Otherwise, if Han Shuo had the opportunity to attack after Dempus was affected by the cold poison, his life might truly have been lost.
Such a frightening martial technique! Dempus felt aghast, gazing toward the faraway Han Shuo who was wounded from head to toe but still appearing malevolent as he headed toward Lawrence. He thought in his heart about astrologer Grace’s prophecy that this person would bring prosperity to Lancelot Empire. Could it really be true?
“Bryan, are-are you ok?” Phoebe struggled with all her might to escape from Karel’s grasp, tearfully rushing toward Han Shuo, her delicate hands trembling as she caressed the terrible wounds on Han Shuo’s face.
“It’s nothing, don’t need to worry!”Han Shuo gave an unsightly grin as he consoled Phoebe who was crying uncontrollably. He reached out to grab Phoebe’s hand which was caressing the wounds on his face and walked toward Lawrence.
Lawrence’s expression was filled with concern as he asked hurriedly, “Healer, where’s the healer?”
“Dead, dead a long time ago!” dark grand magus Crowley who had pledged allegiance to Lawrence sighed softly and then took out a medicine bottle, passing it over to Han Shuo as he said, “Quickly apply this on your wounds!”
“Senior!” Old assassin Bollands who had watching Han Shuo all along called out softly.
Bollands was no longer young and had seen all sorts of situations as an assassin. He didn’t deliberately express his concern in front of Han Shuo, but the killing intent on his body become even stronger, obviously not directed at the people by Han Shuo’s side.
“I’m ok!” Han Shuo smiled as he declined. However, when his smile was displayed on that frightening face, it didn’t cause people to feel reassured. To say the least, Phoebe started crying bitterly once again.
“I’m really fine, I am already no longer bleeding from my wounds. The martial technique I practice is special. These injuries may look extremely serious, but they don’t have a substantial effect on me.” When Han Shuo saw everyone anxiously trying to apply medicine to his body, he couldn’t help but explain again.
Hearing Han Shuo’s statement, everyone couldn’t help but be filled with doubts as they earnestly sized up Han Shuo. Everyone’s expression suddenly changed.
The wounds that had covered Han Shuo’s entire body were previously still finger-sized and dripping with blood. All the blood had since congealed like ice. The scarlet injured muscle fibers started wiggling like worms and the originally finger-sized wounds actually shrunk by a fold.
Sacred swordmaster Karel who had been calm doubted his eyes, subconsciously closing his eyes before opening them again, his eyes shining as he fixed his eyes on the wounds on Han Shuo’s body.
Really shrunk by a fold!
Karel was moved, his torch-like eyes clearly saw that Han Shuo’s wounds were about the size of a little finger and was oozing with scarlet blood. However, not only did the bleeding stop, even the wounds were only the size of chopsticks.
Han Shuo had charged out from within the ground, sent that peculiar undead creature back to the netherworld and then flew toward them. All these only took at most two minutes!
Two minutes was roughly equivalent to the duration where one is entranced. Such an outrageous change in such a short time, Karel couldn’t help but be indescribably shocked!
Bollands’ expression was burning hot, his eyes shining as he stared at the changes of a wound on Han Shuo’s belly. This wound which was near to Han Shuo’s demon infant was currently just the width of a toothpick and was far from the terrifying sight at the beginning.
Demonic arts! This is precisely the might of demonic arts! Bollands shouted in his heart. He who was on the verge of cultivating secret demonic arts felt his heartbeat suddenly increasing at this moment. The excitement in his heart became somewhat unable to be contained.
“Alright, you all need not take care of me, I’ll be able to recover very soon. Currently, we should rather be thinking of how to obstruct the attack of those people and fight for sufficient time for Mister Sabakas!” Han Shuo turned his head to look at the restless enemies and said calmly.
With Han Shuo’s reminder, everyone discovered the anomalies in his body. When they heard him speaking with his usual calm expression, they suddenly realized the unfavorability of their situation and looked at the enemy. They suddenly realized that the sacred knight and earth sacred magus Dempus were recklessly charging over.
Space sacred magus Sabakas was the only one who didn’t turn to look at Han Shuo. At this moment, he was holding a pointed magic staff, carving a complicated space magic array on the smooth rock ground.
