Chapter 79: The Proper Usage of the Salvation Staff
Chapter 79: The Proper Usage of the Salvation Staff
"Damn it, how are we supposed to play this out! We barely managed to seal away those two big troublemakers, and now they've been released again."
Yecheng had gone to great lengths to temporarily deal with Shima Yousuke and Cui, the two nuisances.
Currently, the two were once again breaking free from their restraints under the influence of the Divine Energy Phantom's Holy Magic Purification, causing Yecheng's expression to darken.
Although the Divine Energy Phantom seemed to possess some intelligence, the previous methods might not work a second time.
"Leica, Edgar, don't chase after me! I'm Alicia!"
"We know you're Alicia, but our bodies are not under our control. Now, you can only hope to run faster."
As Yecheng pondered the troublesome situation, a commotion caused by the Alicia rookie trio caught his attention from a distance.
Leica and Edgar were currently chasing after their childhood friend, Alicia, like older sister figures.
With Alicia, burdened by her large chest, about to be caught by her two childhood friends, Yecheng didn't hesitate to use Shunpo to appear in front of Alicia and effortlessly take down Leica and Edgar.
Compared to dealing with Shima Yousuke and Cui, taking down Leica and Edgar, who were still rookies, was far too easy for Yecheng.
What intrigued Yecheng now was something else.
Alicia and her companions had already retreated far from the battlefield, yet they were still affected by the magic of the Divine Energy Phantom.
Leica and Edgar's condition was clearly similar to Shima Yousuke's group; they were being manipulated by the Divine Energy Phantom.
So, the question arose: why was Alicia, who had been with Leica and Edgar, completely unaffected by the Divine Energy?
Yecheng was immune to the Divine Energy due to his 'Magic Immunity' ability.
Therefore, the manipulation magic of the Divine Energy was likely directly nullified by his immunity.
But what about Alicia? Did she possess a similar 'Magic Immunity' ability?
"It must be because of this staff. I was affected too, but when the staff suddenly glowed, my mind became clear again."
Hearing Yecheng's question, Alicia paused for a moment, then after a brief recollection, she quickly responded.
"So that's it! This 'Salvation Staff' can purify or remove their abnormal states, right? Alicia, can I ask you again? If we don't find a way to remove Shima... Kuroki and Cui's control, defeating that Divine Energy Phantom will be extremely challenging."
"But I haven't fully grasped the proper usage of this staff yet."
Suddenly entrusted with a heavy responsibility, the well-endowed girl was flustered. She was just a novice adventurer, and now, at the start of her adventuring career, she had to face such a high-level challenge.
"Don't worry, you can take your time to master it. I'll make sure you have enough time."
Yecheng, holding the Poisonous Black Dragon Blade in one hand and the Frost Divine Sword in the other, protected Alicia, allowing her to study the 'Salvation Staff' at ease.
Before that, Yecheng would eliminate all risks!
Although the Divine Energy Phantom had many underlings, only Shima Yousuke and Cui were truly formidable.
As for the resurrected corpses, they might be challenging undead creatures for ordinary adventurers, but to Yecheng, they were mere fodder for his Onmyodo spells.
"Binding Technique 73: Mountain-Crushing Crystal!"
Using Onmyodo, Night City summoned a triangular crystal to protect Alicia, and then he brandished a sword and a blade, charging towards the army of corpses.
Facing the overwhelming number of enemies, he had initially planned to summon the Blaze Dragon for assistance. However, considering the possibility of the Blaze Dragon being controlled like Shima Yousuke and his companions, Night City decided against it.
Not wanting to risk creating another formidable opponent instead of an ally, Night City abandoned the idea.
"Night City, why don't you run for it? Don't worry about us."
In the current situation, even with his exceptional strength, his mana and physical strength would eventually be exhausted.
As Shima Yousuke and Cui were under control, Night City couldn't deal a fatal blow to them. However, due to being controlled by Divine Energy Phantoms, every attack they made was lethal.
The resurrected corpses, like a swarm of locusts, were seemingly endless. Even when cut into pieces, they could still crawl again under the influence of Divine Power.
Facing this overwhelming enemy force, and having to hold back, Night City's strength, no matter how great, couldn't prevent him from sustaining numerous injuries.
As the Beastman and the Elf maiden Cui watched Night City continuously getting injured, tears welled up in Cui's eyes, and she repeatedly urged Night City to leave.
Within the Mountain-Crushing Crystal, Alicia witnessed the numerous corpses surrounding the barrier, filling her with fear.
The resurrected corpses relentlessly slammed and attacked the golden barrier, their "bang bang bang" sounds unsettling Alicia's heart.
However, upon seeing Night City's valiant fight in the distance and his unwavering spirit of never abandoning his companions and friends until the very end, Alicia was inspired.
She forcefully calmed her mind and began to slowly comprehend the true power of the 'Salvation Staff' in her hand.
As time passed, Alicia's calm mind completely disregarded her surroundings, and she immersed her consciousness into the 'Salvation Staff'.
As Alicia's mana unconsciously flowed into the staff, a holy light suddenly broke through the clouds and shone upon her.
This holy light expanded from her, spreading in all directions!
All beings touched by the holy light, including Night City's Onmyodo Mountain-Crushing Crystal and the corpses that had besieged Alicia, all turned into particles of light and dissipated, like snow melting in the spring sun.
The holy light continued to spread until it enveloped Night City, Shima Yousuke, and Cui, who were fighting alongside him...
Under the holy light, Shima Yousuke and Cui finally regained control of their bodies.
As for Night City, the holy light didn't seem to have any effect on him, merely making him feel warm.
"So, this is the true power of the 'Salvation Staff', the most precious item in that labyrinth.
This must be equipment of the hero's caliber, capable of nullifying the effects of magic itself?"
The holy light released by Alicia not only restored Shima Yousuke and Cui's control over their bodies but also rendered magic ineffective within a certain range, and its priority level seemed exceptionally high.
(9000 collections, less than 300 subscriptions. This novel is a giant flop! But I will finish this one because I love the 2D world! There are probably about ten more chapters to go. (~_~;)
