Chapter 94: Chapter 79: Playing with Rephya Is Still More Fun
Rephya felt like she was about to die.
Her right hand was dislocated, her shoulder was smashed into minced meat, and One-Slash Shura had drained all her strength.
An unprecedented weakness caused her to stumble and fall.
Oh no.
She’s going to fall face-first.
Wouldn’t she ruin her face?
But in the next moment, she fell into a warm embrace.
Who is it?
Aisha?
Or Fratiss?
Until she heard that boy’s voice:
"Rephya, you’ve worked hard."
Ah, so it’s the senior.
She weakly curled up in Chloe’s embrace.
The pain of using One-Slash Shura felt like sitting cross-legged on a mat for too long, causing poor blood circulation.
When the blood starts to circulate, you suddenly stand up.
That moment of soreness truly made the girl lean on the wall.
Not to mention, she was covered in blood now.
"Ugh, senior, it hurts so much."
"Hmm, I know, Rephya has been working hard too."
The fourth-generation Blood and Flesh Magic Expansion Array quietly unfolded.
A rune array as vast as a football field spread around them.
"Flesh and Blood Magic·Aggregation."
Rephya’s scattered flesh seemed to rewind time, instantly returning to her hand.
"Flesh and Blood Magic·Sewing."
The loose flesh quickly constructed the entire shoulder.
"Law of Blessing."
"Law of Life."
"Recovery."
Then Chloe directly hit her with the standard healing trio.
Rephya only felt the pain and soreness all over her body seem to disappear.
In a daze, an indescribable feeling spread over her.
She instinctively snuggled against Chloe’s chest.
Warm.
With the scent of mint body wash.
A sense of security surged forth.
And with it, came drowsiness.
One-Slash Shura had emptied her of everything.
"If you’re tired, just sleep a bit, it’s over now."
"...Okay."
The girl mumbled indistinct words and fell into a deep sleep.
Aisha sheathed her tachi, and behind her was a Sapphire Monster cut into pieces by countless blade lights.
Her hand was bleeding, but she silently approached Chloe and said:
"Is she alright?"
"She’s fine, I was watching."
"We should’ve stopped her."
"How could we have stopped her, she took that final step, now the sky’s the limit, she’s truly an adventurer now."
Chloe shook his head and added:
"And she won’t be in trouble, I’m watching."
Actually, he nearly couldn’t resist taking action just now.
But his rationality stopped his desire to act.
Even in the Simulated Hero, Rephya’s growth must undergo transformation after transformation.
Only in this way can she wash away the gilded exterior of the "Heaven’s Chosen" and become the "Great Sage" step by step.
This is the fate of a hero.
Chloe can’t guarantee to always protect Rephya.
So, while he’s still beside the Heroic Maiden, it is the right choice to let Rephya take risks under his care as much as possible.
He turned to the silent Fratiss and said:
"Fratiss, you come too."
"Oh."
The girl’s reaction was very calm.
Her face was hidden in a helmet, and without taking it off, one couldn’t see clearly.
But this attack injured not just Rephya.
The two of them too.
As the flesh and blood magic took effect on them, the burns from the Ruby and the soft tissue contusions from resisting the Sapphire Monster disappeared.
"Is Sequence Six already so amazing?"
Fratiss couldn’t help but murmur.
She’s already used to getting hurt.
The Iron Blood’s role is like this, an extraordinary who takes damage, it’s impossible not to get hurt.
So many on the Iron Blood Path would choose to cross paths and learn some healing magic, becoming a healer.
But that’s not Fratiss’s path.
The little foodie only loves swords but picked up a shield.
Using a sword is a passion, wielding a shield is a way of life.
Aisha then said:
"Leave Rephya to me, look how much pain she’s in."
When she said this, her face was full of helplessness.
Xiaolu is stubborn and likes to bear many things on her own.
This might be related to her past living environment.
You can’t expect a girl who almost became a refugee when her town turned into a fallen zone to be used to relying on others right away.
Holding Rephya, Chloe had some subtle feelings in his heart.
Rephya doesn’t quite look like an extraordinary of the Titan Path.
Among a group of big muscle-bound fellows, there’s a small-armed, small-legged girl, which is quite unusual.
But the fact she turned out this way seems to have something to do with the Holy Bone.
Affected by that talent, Chloe felt she was quite light when holding her.
Could it be the Titan Race talent that influenced his judgment?
But none of that matters.
He passed Rephya to Aisha and then made a signal to those hiding behind him.
Aisha was startled for a moment, then quickly understood Chloe’s meaning.
She pulled up the bewildered foodie and ran to hide behind Chloe.
Fratiss didn’t understand what was happening at first.
But when she was pulled back, she discovered that Chloe had unknowingly set up a Protective Magic Array around them.
She looked puzzled, just as she heard Chloe say calmly:
"I thought you would strike when they were off-guard."
An empty tunnel echoed with a light laugh.
The two girls looked nervously into the depths of the shadows.
A beautiful woman walked out elegantly.
The fluorescent algae in the gemstone cave illuminated her ink-black coat.
Her eyebrows were like distant mountains with an emerald hint, her elegant and noble demeanor blended with a wild and unrestrained air.
Her skin, white as if sickly, was strikingly visible even in the cave. Her tight-fitting clothes emphasized her curves, while her long, black hair cascaded like a waterfall.
However, her eyes carried a hint of disdain and mockery, and there was a fake smile on her lips.
She approached gracefully with light steps, chuckling as she said:
"A Sequence Nine able to handle elite monsters, quite impressive."
Aisha held Rephya nervously.
The woman, while saying this, licked her red lips, appearing anything but kind.
She’s here.
Chloe thought.
That woman, as seductive as a poisonous rose, was the witch April.
April, favored by the Love and Desire Twins.
A monster who reached Sequence Six before the age of thirty.
But more dangerous than her being Sequence Six was her identity as a favored of the Love and Desire Twins.
This deity was quite sinister.
However, coincidentally, he had heard someone mention things about this deity.
That time when Lilith introduced the Fantasy Night to him and spoke about the significance of the existence of the Actor, she also bestowed upon him the template of the Knight of the Fiery Sun.
The Love and Desire Twins had a significant connection with the Knight of the Fiery Sun.
In the world of "Simulated Hero," the Love God in the Love Realm and the Evil God Slaanesh in the Desire Realm had been waging war since their inception.
Later, Slaanesh gained support from other deities, eroding the Love God’s realm, attempting to support the Evil God "Dark Side of Love God," to split the Love God’s authority.
Finally, the already nearly fallen True God Eternal Fierce Sun passed his power to his follower, the "Knight of the Fiery Sun."
That noble knight severed the ascension path of the Dark Side of Love God with one slash.
Yet the ascension ritual was not canceled.
The Love and Desire Twins stole the fruit of the ascension, successfully entering the divine sequence.
The exhausted Knight of the Fiery Sun, supported by the faith of his compatriots, inherited part of the divine position of Eternal Fierce Sun.
That battle, complex in situation and perilous in scene, far exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
Even multiple deities fell.
The Love and Desire Twins, were one of those who achieved ultimate victory in that world-shaking war.
No longer belonging to the Love God, nor to Slaanesh.
A deity split between good and evil, as Chloe described Him.
It’s said this god was both half-male and half-female, even in consciousness a fusion anomaly.
Even gods are such oddities; His followers are harder to judge.
April was evidently more so.
She’s a pervert, with a fondness for eating apples, and if they are too green, she will even ripen them.
—This apple refers to someone with potential.
A brief comment: A gender-swapped version of Sisko, a perverted follower of the Evil God.
"Little apples, and not just one."
Her smile was very sweet.
But in the next moment, Aisha felt as if a phantom flashed before her eyes.
A sudden explosion resounded in the air.
She was shocked to find Chloe holding a battle halberd, standing in front of her.
"Oh, it’s a ripe apple."
April tilted her head, seemingly incredulous.
The aura entwined around the magic blade in her hand was shattered.
Aisha’s brow furrowed deeply.
From the posture of the opponent, it seemed like she had just swung her weapon.
But Chloe had stood in front of her, preventing her from being harmed.
"Amazing! It’s the first time I’ve seen someone like you among students."
She excitedly launched an attack.
"Come, sweetheart, let me taste your flavor."
Her attacks were like a storm, each slash seemingly wanting to peel off Chloe’s flesh and blood.
Aisha and Fratiss even felt the ground around them continuously shaking.
No.
It wasn’t just a feeling.
It was real.
Fratiss gaped as Chloe stomped and crushed the cave floor.
Centered around him, cracks radiated across the ground.
The battle halberd in his hand shimmered with the brilliance of a fierce weapon, appearing to be made from materials not typically used for equipment.
When swung, it stirred up roaring gales.
Fratiss thought it was because the senior used Wind Magic.
But upon closer look, it was not Wind Magic at all.
The battle halberd broke the sound barrier in an instant, causing visible air currents to distort around the blade.
"Do you like brother’s big spear? Don’t cry if it hurts later."
Chloe had started with trash talk.
Fighting with a witch was meaningless.
Who likes a pervert, anyway!
It’s more interesting to play with Rephya.
At this time, Rephya, who finally came to her senses, stirred awake.
No choice.
The noise around was just too much.
The sound of weapons clashing between the two sides was deafening, coupled with the pervasive intent to kill, it truly made one’s hair stand on end.
She groggily rubbed her eyes and said:
"Senior, why is it so noisy?"
Aisha: ???
"Rephya, shouldn’t you look at me first?"
"Eh? How come it’s Aisha?"
"Feeling disdain now, are you? I’ll just leave you here."
No way!
Rephya shook her little head like a rattle drum.
She blankly looked ahead:
"Wait a moment, where’s senior?"
The glimmer of clashing weapons in the shadows caught her attention.
Clang!
A booming explosion sounded.
Rephya seemed to hear the chirping of a thousand birds.
Dazzling purple-black thunderlight burst forth, a terrifying impact rampaged through the area like a war chariot.
With a single strike, a section of tunnel was blasted out within the cave.
Chloe was bathed in thunder, the battle halberd entwined with lightning, as he watched April get knocked back, half her body evaporated, and he said calmly:
"Not bad power, worthy of the Divine Favor of the Love and Desire Twins."
April coughed up blood as she said:
"You know me?"
"Yes, the identity of the Divine Favor is why you can withstand this strike alive."
He said with a calm gaze.
