Chapter 330 Aftershocks (2/2)

Rhode fell to the ground. The cold arena was filled with blood. Beside him, Lize and Lapis were rushing to help him.

”Mr. Rhode, Mr. Rhode, are you okay??”

”Sir Guardian, are you still alive?!”

It's no wonder that the both of them were so flustered. After he walked down from the ring, he immediately fell to the ground. Everyone saw that blood kept spewing out of his mouth without any end. His eyes, nose, and ears were also bleeding. This scene made everyone look pale. Lapis was scared and almost fainted. Fortunately, Lize reacted in a timely manner and quickly reached out to cast several healing spells on Rhode and managed to stabilize his injury.

”Sigh… don't worry, he won't die.”

After he vomited turbid things that condensed into black blood clots, he finally felt a lot better. The Self-breakthrough ability was really crazy; just now, he thought he would really die like this. Forcibly increasing his level was more than what his body could endure. He could even feel that all of his internal organs had been injured. If he were in his previous world, he would have died if he wasn't sent to the hospital as soon as possible. He could have even died after being sent to the hospital and could only give in to fate. However, in this world, the Cleric healing ability was stronger than hospitals in his former world.

In fact, if it wasn't because he was forcing himself to suppress the injury and let the side effect occur immediately after the [Self-breakthrough] effect disappeared, his injury would not be so serious. But Rhode did not do that. He was keenly aware of the gazes among the audience. He didn't want to reveal his weak side in front of his enemies.

”Cough cough…”

Although Lize's current spiritual skill had also improved following the improvement of her level, but the effect of her healing spell was not very good. Rhode could still feel the blood in his internal organs condensing into blood clots, which made him feel uncomfortable and want to spit out the dirty stuff. Well, it was still much better than death.

Anne looked unusual. She put her hands on her chest and her face was extremely pale. She still jokingly hit Rhode's body and complained that he had stolen her chance to fight, but she didn't expect that he would have such a reaction. Anne stood there and didn't know what to say. She only stared blankly at Rhode, who was accepting Lize's treatment, while next to her, Lapis was desperately trying to help him wiped off the blood with a handkerchief. On the other hand, she couldn't do anything.

It wasn't only Anne—even Randolf and Joey were scared. Rhode had always been indifferent in front of them. They never thought that there would be a day where this young man would actually be injured. Holy Spirit, when he killed that demon, he wasn't even injured.

Is that person so powerful?

”Sigh… I'm okay, thank you.”

Rhode stretched out his hand and wiped off the blood on the corner of his mouth, then he drank the healing potion Lapis handed him. The cold and sweet syrup instantly flowed through his body along with the effects of the healing magic. He stood up and felt a little bit dizzy; at this moment, Lize hurriedly moved forward to support him.

”You need to rest, Mr. Rhode!”

”Don't worry, it's just a small injury.”

Looking at Lize who was concerned, Rhode patted her shoulder and comforted her. He could feel that his body was recovering very quickly. If everything went well, he should be restored to his original state by tomorrow morning.

Rhode's understatement made Randolf and Joey feel in awe. A small injury? He was bleeding everywhere but still said they were minor injuries? Our leader is really not a human ah…

However, now Rhode's skepticism towards the [Self-breakthrough] skill was getting higher and higher. The reason he used the Composition Adornment at first was to complement his swordsmanship, so he only noticed [Spatial Displacement]. As for [Self-breakthrough], he only kind of guessed the skill effect, but never really experienced it. It was a passive skill and could only be triggered once the requirements had been met. There was no one in Deep Stone City that could give him 50% damage. But after using this skill for the first time, Rhode felt that [Self-breakthrough] was a more powerful skill than the [Spatial Displacement]. But according to the Composition Adornment characteristics, his vitality was even higher than the agility that he had worked hard to increase. And not just a little higher?

As the former leader of a player's guild, Rhode naturally also knew about MT attributes and gears. Although he was responsible for the damage, he certainly had to understand the attributes and skills of other players. The vitality of MTs was very high. However, even among them, no one once possessed skills such as [Self-breakthrough]. After all, this skill was too OP. If the game really had such a skill, then an MT only needed to strike the boss once and could immediately kill the boss afterward, letting the healer restore his HP back. If such a cheat-like ability existed in the game, it was impossible for him to not have any news about it at all.

So there were only two possibilities. Either his vitality had exceeded the vitality of all the MTs in the game, or this skill had never existed in the game. Although both were possible, but…

They didn't make any sense!

Thinking of this, Rhode couldn't help but cry inside. He wondered if it was really alright for him to choose agility when he first advanced. However, this idea quickly flashed through his mind. He didn't regret his choice. After all, even if he had a strong vitality, he still wasn't good at MT-like melee combat. It was not the battle mode he was familiar with and good at.

Even so, Rhode could not help but wonder; if he had chosen to strengthen his vitality, would he have gotten an even more abnormal skill than [Self-breakthrough]?

After a moment, he finally felt relieved. Even though he felt powerless right now, but at least it was not as severe as before, where he couldn't even stand still.

After that, Rhode wore a cloak to cover the blood on his body and gestured everyone to leave.

”Alright, let's go.”

”Go?”

Hearing these words, Lize was stunned.

”Mr. Rhode, you should rest a little more…”

”No, we have to go back quickly. I have something to do.”

Rhode frowned. His thought drifted back to the pair of shameless people in the prison guarded by Gillian. That man's identity wasn't ordinary; he should have gotten enough information from him. If he delayed it and the other party noticed something was wrong, then he would be in a big trouble.
