Chapter 464 - Necessary
The way the "Fountain Bow and Arrow Cut" functioned was simple. When one used the first form, a curving slash will be drawn in the air, briefly creating the image of a bow as it beheads the enemy.
Moreover, if the foe succeeds in defending against the attack, while the bow arc is still in the air, one can employ the second form "Fountain Arrow Cut" in order to unleash a straight strike just like an arrow that"s been released from the string of a bow.
When the two are released together, they complement one another as an attack much more powerful than antic.i.p.ated renders the opponent helpless by catching him off-guard.
Perceiving the incoming attack, Ra"s countenance went wan in terror as he realized that since he had just unleashed his offense technique, he could not execute another one as there was no time for it!
"Am I going to die?" As he helplessly watched the upcoming sharp blade, all hope was about to leave him when an idea hit him.
Abruptly grabbing Knightgruella who was standing right beside him, he pulled him in front of himself and shockingly used him as a living meat s.h.i.+eld!
"Ah!" At the very last moment of his life, Knightgruella"s eyes went wide open in utter stupefaction.
Initially, he couldn"t comprehend the situation. However, when everything sunk in, bewilderment was the only word that could describe him. He just could not believe his boss was using him as a s.h.i.+eld.
Alas, the attack wasn"t going to pause for him to digest the circ.u.mstance as the deadly sharp end of the sword penetrated through his head, cutting through his brain.
"Hmm?" Truthfully, even Virus was surprised to see this scene before him. "Wow, it must suck to be your underling."
As Knightgruella"s corpse fell on the ground, Virus was about to pick up the rest of the battle and kill Ra as well, when abruptly, he noticed that Ra had thrown away any notions of battling him as he was already about to pa.s.s through his own gate of exit. Apparently, the fear of losing his life had long overwhelmed him as he desired nothing but to leave this place now.
"It"s better he doesn"t leave this place alive." Squinting his eyes, Virus mustered every bit of his energy and shot toward Ra much like a bullet.
"Unnamed Virus Technique, First Form – Impulse!"
"Unnamed Virus Technique, Second Form – Friction!"
Lightning and wind rushed to his a.s.sistance as Virus" frame was like a rocket that had been launched in the direction of the fleeing opponent.
Fortunately, he was quickly closing the distance between them. Very soon, he was just a few meters away from Ra as he attacked!
"Fountain Arrow Cut!"
Since there was no time to first release the Fountain Bow Cut and then the Fountain Arrow Cut, Virus straight away chose the second from. The disadvantage of using the second form without its complementary first form was that it becomes much weaker in comparison.
Immediately, while Ra was less than tens of centimeters away from the gate of exit, Virus" sword tip was like a lightning bolt that chased after him!
The following second, the sword reached the fleeing enemy, unfortunately, just as it reached and touched his skin, Ra"s physique was already on the other side of the exit as the gate shut itself in the blink of an eye!
Ra was gone!
"Ahh, that lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Virus exclaimed in frustration. Only a moment more was required before his sword would have victoriously messed up Ra"s heart, albeit, since the last person alive had exited their respective gate, it closed up automatically, thus narrowly saving Ra as a result.
To be frank, Virus was adamant about killing Ra because if he left today, it was guaranteed that he would bring the news of him beheading the Purple-Maned Ancient Lion to its father which apparently terrified everyone else!
If possible, he wanted to avoid any unnecessary troubles. Woefully, that seemed implausible at this point.
Even though he wasn"t knowledgeable about that monstrous beast known as the Lion King, Virus knew trouble would come looking for him at some point because of the matters of today.
"Well…" While many contemplations were pa.s.sing through his head, Virus" attention was drawn to the injured cheeky woman who still had a blade running through her stomach.
As a matter of fact, the only reason why she was still breathing was that luckily, the blade was kept in her stomach. Otherwise, she would"ve long bled to death by now.
Rus.h.i.+ng at her at once, Virus examined her condition while inquiring, "How are you feeling? Does it hurt?"
"Is that concern I see in your eyes, hot face, hehe, ouch… even laughing hurts." Despite the grief of Henna visible on her face, it looked like her cheekiness was still there, "I-I think I"m about to die. B-but… I"m unwilling to go out like this, sob, I haven"t even gotten married and tried popping my cherry. But forget about my cherry since there"s no time left, I at least want to e-experience my first kiss before dying… so, will you let me go in peace?" At the same time, closing both her eyes, while keeping his veil attached, she exaggeratedly brought his face closer to Virus".
Veins were already popping on Virus"s face as he pushed her face back in utter annoyance. "Shut up with the nonsense already! I won"t let you die, so stop. Just wait a minute here and don"t fall asleep."
Next, checking the panels filled with thousands of pill cases, he searched for any pill names that might ring a bell and be capable of saving her.
"We"re in a f.u.c.king pill storage, there"s no way I"m letting you die." Furrowing his brows, Virus read one name after another.
Although he didn"t recognize most of the names, once in a while, he came across pills that did exist in his timeline of the future or were somehow vaguely mentioned in his database.
Around a few minutes later, Virus was slightly getting restless for not finding anything useful when his eyes caught the sight of a particular name.
"External Energy Source Restoration."
At once, Virus" eyes started s.h.i.+ning jovially as a hint of relief filled his heart.
This specific name was something that was mentioned in a random corner of his database which he would"ve missed if he wasn"t focusing on every little detail.
However, after reading the little bit of information he had available in his database, Virus" expression became a little strange for some reason.
"Ah, there"s no other choice." Grabbing the case, Virus took a few strides and returned to the fallen figure of the cheeky woman and started clarifying, "I found a pill that will help you heal up fast, you need to eat it, and then another cultivator, which is me in this case, will need to provide you with sufficient energy. The provided external energy is the source that heals you. Do you understand?"
Despite feeling somewhat doubtful about the existence of such miraculous pill after spotting that peculiar wince on Virus" countenance, the cheeky woman nodded her head regardless. She had no other option but to trust him and believe this type of amazing medicine truly did exist in this treasure room.
"Alright then, I"ll take out the blade now. The instant it is out, swallow this pill and I"ll instantly start supplying you with the necessary energy!"
"On the count of three, I"ll take it out. Here we go! One-"
Frtt!
"Ahhhh, you only counted to one, t-that"s not fair!" She shrieked in affliction.
The weapon was out while her stomach began to bleed substantially, exhibiting a horrifying scene.
"Swallow it now!" Virus urged her in a hurry since this was no time for being distracted by useless details.
Gulp!
As she consumed the pill, much to the stupefaction of the cheeky woman, Virus grabbed her dress by two hands and ripped them apart at once.
Rip!
Following that, the alluring sight of the cheeky woman"s two plump and firm b.r.e.a.s.t.s exposed themselves in front of his eyes.
"Ahhhh!" Screaming in shock and disbelief, the cheeky woman tried covering her b.r.e.a.s.t.s with her two arms, however, tossing them aside immediately, Virus reached out with both of his palms and grabbed both of her b.r.e.a.s.t.s in a way so her nipples would touch the center of his palms.
"Sorry, this is necessary." Simultaneously, he began to transmit the required energy into her body!
"W-w-w-what do you mean necessary!" Dumbstruck, she could barely talk since her heart had long jumped into her mouth.
"According to the instruction manual of this pill, the only way this pill is going to work is if the energy is directly connected and transferred from the liberated pa.s.sages of the palms to the liberated pathways of the chest that is close to the heart."
Indeed, just as Virus was claiming, according to the few sentences that he could find about the "External Energy Source Restoration" medicine pill, one"s palm pathways had to be openly connected to the chest pathways of the wounded that are most tangible on the nipples themselves. That meant there couldn"t be anything like clothes hindering the transference of energy.
In fact, that was exactly why this pill was also famously known as the "Couple"s Restoration" and there was even a sentence expounding on how this pill might even restore the lost vigor of couples as well.
If the mortally wounded person was a male, putting one"s hands on his chest wasn"t considered a big deal, however, when the receiver was a female, its signification was entirely different.
And that"s precisely why Virus didn"t elaborate how it was going to function since the veiled woman might have rejected and preferred to die instead. "Though that"s unlikely considering her cheeky personality."
Meanwhile, as Virus began the process of transmitting the energy to her plump b.r.e.a.s.t.s in his grasp, the wound began to close up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the other side, as a rare sight, the veiled woman"s both cheeks were blus.h.i.+ng so hard that Virus could only concernedly question while unconsciously gripping her b.r.e.a.s.t.s harder and therefore tickling her nipples. "Huh? Why is your face red? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
"You gotta be f.u.c.king kidding me! You"re ma.s.saging my f.u.c.king b.r.e.a.s.t.s and playing with my nipples and you ask me why is my face red? d.a.m.n you!"
"f.u.c.k! Who"s f.u.c.king ma.s.saging your b.r.e.a.s.t.s and playing with your d.a.m.ned nipples! I"m only maintaining my f.u.c.king grasp! And that"s only because this is the only way to heal you so what can I do?! What do want me to do? Let you die?"
"Ahh… you"re a b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You"re playing with my body and you still refuse to take responsibility!"
"f.u.c.k you!"
"Yes, you are! And you refuse to admit it!"
"Shut up!" Virus" eyes were so bloodshot at this point that he even briefly considered the idea of letting her die.. This woman was seriously bad news.
