Chapter 374: Regardless of the Consequences
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
This wasn’t the first time that they fought against the same enemy. But this was the first time that it was just the two of them.
Anna eyed the eight demons.
They were large, larger than the ones that attacked their school.
Then she eyed the direction of the cave.
By now, the place was as good as broken.
She gritted her teeth, her temper flaring.
The Lycan inside Anna was bubbling with anger.
Her chest raised and fell in an abrupt motion as she squinted at the upcoming enemies.
Demons this large… would never miss the king’s informants.
But they have been here for more than a day and no Lycans came to fight them.
Just as she thought. The system was rotten.
“You leave while I distract them,” Anna uttered.
“You think I’m leaving you alone?”
“We won’t be able to win,” Anna said. “Run in the direction that I will tell you and wait for me. We will leave this place…”
“I said No!”
“Stop being stubborn and do what I tell you to do!”She tightened her grip around the hilt of her sword. How annoying.
“No, is a No.”
As if to prove his point, Mo Li attacked a demon without even waiting for her.
Lunatic.
Mo Li was aware that they wouldn’t be able to win. And yet, here he is. Fighting with her.
The thought made her irritated.
She reminded her of the past, Mo Li. The one who stayed with her when she escaped the temple.
That man was as stubborn as this man.
And she hated how similar they were!
She kicked the ground and started fighting against two demons. A swing had cut off the demon’s limb, but to her surprise, a liquid poured out of the demon’s wound, creating another limb.
Though this one looked more hideous than the other.
“They could… Kill them directly! To the brain or heart!” She yelled as she let out a barrage of attacks on the demon nearby.
The thing is, demons have over one heart.
And locating their hearts can be a problem.
Some hearts are at the base of their head, some are on their spine and some are on their hips.
Until now, no one could determine the exact location of a demon’s heart.
Lycans and humans alike did a few experiments to study them, but every time they haven’t found a way to preserve a demon’s body.
This was the reason they weren’t able to find out about a demon’s anatomy.
“To the west! Run to the west!” She uttered. The portal is in the west. They could use that to escape this place. The academy might not be safe, but… at least it was safer than this one.
The two of them started running towards the west while fighting.
By now, another group of demons arrived. They were smaller, but their numbers were twice as much as the ones earlier.
“F*ck!”
She heard Mo Li curse. She thought she smelled some fresh blood, but had no time to check. She was currently fighting four large demons! All of them have tentacles. All of them wanted her dead.
One wrong move and she could actually die.
The thing is, she didn’t want to use her system as Mo Li was there.
“Give me a few seconds… are you able to hold on?” the portal needed her blood to activate. But doing that while fighting can be very challenging.
“Yes!” Mo Li yelled back.
Hearing his assurance, she immediately used her blood and found a way to put it into Mo Li’s forehead. It made the portal visible.
“I will cover you…” she said. “You go inside the portal. It won’t close, so I will follow you.”
“No. You go first.”
“Mo Li! This isn’t the time for that!” She sidestepped, avoiding another attack. Then she retaliated with a kick, followed by slicing the limb of the demon.
Just as she expected, the demon’s limbs grew back.
Regeneration.
This is going to be a problem!
Whoever summoned them was really going to die by her hand.
“Mo Li! You— “
“Watch out!”
Her world came to a screeching halt when Mo Li pushed her out of the way. Her back hit a tree just as a demon’s limb pierce through Mo Li’s stomach. It felt like everything slowed down, like everything, even the time slowed down.
She watched as blood came out of Mo Li’s lips and she felt her face lose its color. It was as if a bucket of water was poured inside her soul.
“Mo Li you — F*cker!” She yelled and grabbed him in a quick motion. Then she jumped towards the portal.
She ignored the dizzying sensation and let out a curse before she slapped Mo Li’s face.
“Don’t you dare faint on me!”
“I’m not dead,” he smiled, showing his bloodied teeth. “We’re at the…”
“Stop talking. Let me see your wound.”
What she saw made her still. The wound… looked like a hole.
This man…
Even with the system, he is going to die soon.
“No. You can’t do that.” Anna uttered, half in panic, half in desperation.
“I’m gonna die, aren’t I?”
“Stop talking! You shouldn’t have…” No words would be enough to describe her emotions right now. Her heart was running rampant, threatening to jump out of her chest. Her hands were shaking. And her hands never shake!
“Don’t you dare leave!” hot tears suddenly made their way into her cheeks.
“Is there a way to save him?” She blurted out. The regeneration that she has was only for herself. She couldn’t use it on another person.
[There is a way.]
“But? How much?”
[It would disrupt the balance of this world. The only reason we could save him is that… this person wasn’t supposed to be in this world.]
“What? Explain!”
She heard Mo Li chuckle next to her.
“I am already dying… and you still wanted me to explain why I saved you?”
“I wasn’t talking to you! Just shut up, will you!?” Anna said. “Explain now!”
[Information Unavailable.]
“Then… do it. Let’s save him.”
[Regardless of the consequence?]
Yes, she thought. Yes, regardless of the cost and consequence.
