The vines that broke out of the ground were naturally Li Ke's handiwork. The first thing he did when he discovered that Lux and Garen were being held hostage by the scarecrow was to quickly take out the potato vines that he had been constantly improving. Then, he slapped them on the ground and infused them with all the life force he could.
What surprised him was that even though he hadn't used this spell much, it was still as powerful as ever. Perhaps it was because he had left Freldrod, the frigid place, that his spell seemed to have undergone some incredible changes. The difficulty, consumption, and range of his spell had increased exponentially, allowing him to easily catalyze an abnormal potato vine that carried some of the ascendant's power that his arm automatically produced!
Unlike in Freldrod, which was difficult to control, he only used half of his energy to make the vines do what they did just now. This allowed him to barely speak to Karina. He also vaguely sensed the consciousness of the nearby plants, as well as a feeling that he could mobilize their power. After paying a certain amount of life force, he could make the trees on both sides of the road move and attack others with their branches and trunks. But vines were ultimately vines. Even if they were strengthened, they couldn't possibly withstand Fedetich's scythe. Therefore, for the safety of Lux and Garen, he could only continue to inject life force and energy into the vines to constantly bind Fedetich and prevent it from attacking Lux and Garen.
"Ahhh!"
Karina roared and rushed to Fedetich. She slashed the loose vines around Lux with her sword, then blocked Fedetich's scythe with her sword. But the problem was that when Carina faced this monster, Fedrick's strength suddenly increased. With just one strike, Carina was forced to kneel on the ground. Her shoulder was also pierced by the scythe.
Then …
"Karina, why did you kill Runa? Why? "
The face of her ex-fiancé appeared before her once again. But this time, not only could Karina not see his face clearly, but she couldn't even remember his name. She no longer felt empty and fearful because she finally understood that her attitude toward him couldn't be considered as' love 'at all.
After all, could love that wasn't reciprocated really be called 'love'?
"Ask yourself that! Idiot! I won't let you interfere with my life and what I want to do anymore! "
After roaring out the words that she had wanted to say for a long time, Carina felt that she had once again gained strength. She didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but she also felt that Feidecht's sickle had suddenly weakened. Therefore, she suddenly exerted her strength and stood up with a roar. At the same time, she also pushed Feidecht's sickle away. But it was a pity that this was all she could do because an unknown fear was still affecting her soul. So when Fedetich swung his scythe at her again, she could only watch as the scythe slashed towards her neck.
But she didn't care. Even her fear had disappeared a little because she could feel that the guy who always caused trouble for her and brought big trouble wherever he went —
Here it comes!
When Fedetich's scythe was about to slash Karina's neck, it couldn't go any further because a magic sword wrapped in cloth blocked the front of the scythe. The strong collision shattered the tip of Fedetich's scythe, and before he could retract his scythe, Li Ke's fist fiercely imprinted on his straw face.
With one punch, the monster that Karina couldn't resist was knocked to the ground. The flames on Li Ke's fist once again set the monster ablaze. But unfortunately, Li Ke's glove was also burned, revealing his scarred left palm. But this wasn't the end. Just like the previous few times, after the scythe was set ablaze, Rhode used Yattox to deal the final blow and tore the burning torch into ashes.
"Damn it!"
However, Li Ke could feel the tenacity of Feidertic's hand and knew that Feidertic had gotten stronger! But this time, he obviously didn't have the time to ponder over the speed of Fedetich's growth. After pulling Karina up, Rhode dashed to Lux, who was hugging Garen, and placed his hands on their chests at the same time.
Lux's heart was beating fast, and her breathing was rapid. Rhode could feel that her ribs were moving violently, but her source of life was healthy. It should even be said that it was exuberant and full of radiance. It could be seen that apart from the injuries on her hands, fatigue, and shock, the rest were just some superficial wounds. But Garen was in a terrible state. Not only was there a scythe mark on his back, but there was also one on his chest. Besides, Li Ke also discovered that Garen's right hand was completely missing, and both of his feet were missing from his ankles. Instead of a heartbeat, it was more accurate to say that his heart was trembling slightly.
The most fatal thing was that Li Ke sensed that Garen's source of life was abnormally weak and damaged, which meant that he couldn't be treated with conventional means.
"Garen … Garen, in order to protect me … I was …"
At that moment, Lux couldn't hold back her fear and sorrow anymore. Tears flowed down her cheeks and fell on Garen's body like raindrops. Upon witnessing Garen's current state, Karina couldn't help but bite her lip and hold Lux's shoulder. Because according to her experience, Garen was probably dead by now.
But what surprised Li Ke was that as Lux's tears rolled down Garen's face, the almost dead Garen opened his eyes and held Lux's injured hand with his own.
"Does it hurt … Shauna?"
He seemed to be worried about Lux's hand that was pierced by Fedetich. And judging from his eyes, it was apparent that he knew that he was about to die. However, when he 'stood up' from his body and saw a sheep about to shoot an arrow into his chest and accept his fate, an unimaginable force suddenly appeared in his body and forcefully pulled him back into his own body in a tyrannical manner!
He didn't know what was going on, but before his consciousness fell into darkness, he witnessed the sheep throwing the bow to the ground and grabbing the neck of the wolf beside it.
"… The consumption is greater than I thought."
When Li Ke sensed Garen's damaged source of life being slowly repaired by his own life force, and when terrifying granulation began to appear on Garen's severed limbs, Li Ke also felt a sense of helplessness due to the consumption of his life force.
Because it was just too huge!
If the life force he consumed was used to heal himself, or if it was used to heal a life with a complete source of life, the life force he consumed would be enough to grow three adult bodies! However, when this life force was injected into Garen's body at all costs, it was only barely able to repair his source of life and restore his health.
Of course, it was only healthy because 'that was all'. Li Ke's left hand that was pressing on Garen's wound gradually wrinkled under Karina and Lux's astonished gazes. His hair, which was originally a beautiful silver-white, had a dull look to it.
