“This feeling is...” Li Yue clutched her shoulder. Blood continued to spray out, and her consciousness felt waves of blurring. The dizziness brought by the loss of blood felt incredibly familiar.
“I took a hit... heh, it even has a bit of the scent of God's remains,” Li Yue said softly. The surrounding students slowly began to gather. Through her blurred vision, she saw a terrified figure in the distance who looked scared out of their wits.
“Student Li Yue, Student Li Yue, how are you?” Black rushed to Li Yue's side. The event had happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard.
“Stay conscious. Do not be afraid. Your wounds are starting to recover.” Black's voice gradually reached Li Yue's mind, and this slight sensation indeed cleared her head significantly.
“Chants... my tier is too high; for someone like me who possesses the Death Abyss, they are useless...” Li Yue opened her hazy eyes. She clutched her wound and stood up, feeling the weakness. The God's remains inside her were in a state of wild agitation, as if they were calling out to her.
“Calm down... calm down...” Li Yue slowly rose to her feet. The flesh on her body began to heal gradually. Black could not understand why the effect of his Chants was so weak, or perhaps even nonexistent.
“I am fine... I am well... This is just a minor injury.” Li Yue sighed. The wound was still stinging with intense pain. In the distance, the girl was so terrified that she fell to her knees.
“Inside you... is there a piece of God's remains?” Li Yue looked at her, feeling dazed for a moment. Although it felt like a weak deity with a low tier.
“I do not know... I do not know!” the girl shouted as she broke down.
“It is fine, just a minor injury...” Li Yue began to comfort the girl who had started crying loudly. Even though she was the one who had been severely injured, she did not care. It was merely a fatal wound.
“Even healing potions have no effect. What is going on? Is it a special constitution?” Black pulled Li Yue over. He supported the girl's swaying body and examined the wounds that were still dripping with blood. Although they had recovered somewhat, blood was still being lost.
“Your blood... such dense magic power... Is it a special constitution?” Black took some alcohol. For now, he could only use traditional methods. If she did not recover soon, the wounds would become inflamed. As for the girl who had mysteriously awakened God's remains, that would have to be set aside for the moment.
Did her God's remains... get stimulated by my death? It is that deity who has a deep grudge against me again. Even though only skeletal remains are left, it still wants to kill me.
“Endure it. You have become less sensitive to pain.”
“Death Abyss is immune to those effects...” Li Yue frowned. The intense pain caused her to knit her brows slightly, and she could not help but let out a whimpering sound from her mouth.
“It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...” Li Yue opened her eyes slightly. The wounds on her face actually began to restore at a speed visible to the naked eye. She suddenly pushed Black away and knelt on the ground, hugging her body.
“Do not come over...” Her eyes were a sea of red. Her scarlet vertical pupils were filled with cold killing intent. The grass beneath her withered rapidly, turning into bits of ash.
Ha... so this counts as a fatal wound too... Is the seal about to break?
This is bad... Clo... Clo... save me...
Blood continued to flow from beneath her. It seemed there was a force preventing the powers that were trying to restore her body, and the two were in a fierce confrontation.
“Vibrant vitality, let all things grow, let all prosper together.” Black cleared his throat and released the magic power he had been suppressing. A domain constructed by his words slowly formed. The greyish vegetation regained its vitality, the panicked students gradually calmed down, and even Li Yue's wounds began to recover slowly.
“O Light... grant her your favor...” A soft light shone upon Li Yue, suppressing the power of death within her. This gave the nearly out of control Li Yue a chance to breathe.
“My Chants... why has their effect become so poor?” Black frowned. “Is it the power left behind by that piece of God's remains? Interesting... Just a single piece of God's remains, yet it still wants to contend with me?”
“Then... I will get a bit serious.” Black took out a book. Starting from the declaration of the first day all the way to the seventh day, a brand new small world began to be created within his words.
“I grant you the light of the first day, the water of the fifth day, and the blessing of the seventh day,” Black recited slowly. “I command the daylight to return to the sky and forbid it from being stingy with its radiance.”
“How impressive... to actually contend with the sealed Death Abyss. He is a Great Mage nearly half a step into the Calamity rank.” Li Yue immediately felt much more relaxed. The effect of the God's remains was suppressed somewhat. “How strange. The wound was infected first, but then the flesh forced itself to heal...”
But if that is the case, what about the seal? Once the suppression ends, the God's remains will become agitated again...
Her body could barely stand steady. The surrounding scene vanished in an instant. Black simply said a single word: “Disperse.”
“Interesting. One carrying God's remains, and the other possessing the pure bloodline of the Royal Court's main line...” Black sighed. “No wonder the Five Staves asked me to teach the freshmen...”
It feels so bad... my head hurts so much... the God's remains are starting to act up... I do not want to change back into that half divine self from before...
Save me...
...
Inside a greenhouse in the Inner Academy, a girl with hair that was half white and half green was taking Clo to see her new flowerbed.
“During these idle days, I have been studying how plants grow naturally. I did not use Prosperity, nor did I use Decay. I simply let them grow by their own abilities, nothing more.”
“Kurong, I did not expect you to have such elegant tastes.”
“Just call me Ishtar. Do not use the titles of the Five Staves to address me anymore.” Ishtar smiled, a touch of tenderness appearing in her red eyes.
“The others all seem to have a nearly fanatical pursuit of certain things. But then again, pursuing the extreme is what a high tier magic user should be like,” Clo said dismissively. She looked around, and seeing that not a single Cecilia flower had been planted, she felt a bit disappointed. Thinking of the flower crown she had repeatedly failed to weave, she became even more dejected.
She sighed and continued walking with Ishtar. In her memory, Li Yue should not have finished class yet. She felt waves of boredom.
Clo... save me...
Hmm?
Her body froze.
“What is wrong?”
“Sorry, an emergency. Please excuse me. I will visit again next time.” Clo hurriedly took out her staff. Under Ishtar's puzzled and slightly disappointed gaze, she used a teleportation spell to directly bypass dozens of formations and appeared before Li Yue.
“I have never seen her in such a hurry...” Ishtar withdrew her gaze and began to chat with the flowers beside her.
