Chapter 647 - THAT TINGLING FEELING
SHEN JI YUN directly abandoned being stealthy. The moment he learned that the Dark Saint was at the room where Beelzebub's body was and was now confronting Luo Yan, the plan of being stealthy and silent was immediately thrown out of the window.
How could he even worry about that when his rabbit was now alone with an obviously mentally unstable NPC? Besides, since it was Luo Yan himself who told him to blow up the island, it meant that he had already secured the archdemon's body and was just waiting for a chance to escape.
That only meant one thing. They could now go all out without thinking of the consequence.
So, he told Eclipse and Dusk to cause as much chaos as possible. They could eliminate any dark mages they came into contact with. He initially thought that the two would argue with him about it, saying that they wanted to go where the Dark Saint was. But surprisingly, they were very compliant about it.
While the two were doing that, he would go to the center of the island and activate the Mana bombs they planted. It was something very easy to do. He just had to put his hand on the ground where they had also buried a crystal that could amplify the power of the Mana bombs.
Once he entered his Mana into the amplifying crystal, it would connect and branch out to all the Mana bombs around the island. And then, boom. It would be completely destroyed. The faster that happened, the better chance Luo Yan would have in escaping.
That's why Shen Ji Yun had been rushing to the center of the island.
Behind him, he could hear all the chaos ensuing. The shouts, the screams, the constant sound of something breaking and something burning, the loud flapping of huge wings, and just the absolute chaos of it all. He didn't need to look back to see that Dusk and Eclipse were doing they damnedest to destroy everything in their wake.
Because of that, going to his destination had become much easier. Even if he encountered a dark mage on the way, they didn't pay him too much attention. Because all their attention was on the huge black dragon breathing fire on their island.
Dusk, being such a big target, was the perfect diversion. But because he's that big of a target, not to mention, his history with the people of this island, all their attacks would be focus on him. That was another plus for being a diversion. But it would also make things more dangerous for the black dragon.
That's why he asked Eclipse to help Dusk in defending. With the little fox's skill set, it would definitely be possible. Although it's not foolproof and the black dragon was still in danger of being eliminated by these dark mages, he couldn't really think further than that. Because right now, his priority was Luo Yan.
In this type of scenario, his rabbit would always be his priority.
Also, the things he had been hearing from the earring since quite a while now didn't really help. Yes, even though all he heard was Luo Yan's voice, it was still distressing to the extreme.
How could it not be when the other was talking with a trembling voice full of fear? Even though he knew that Luo Yan was most likely just acting so he could put down the Dark Saint's guard and get out of there safely, Shen Ji Yun still felt his heart shaking.
Every time Luo Yan would speak in that tone as if he was being slowly tortured. But not entirely in that sense. He couldn't exactly pin point it or even explain it properly. It's just that every time he heard Luo Yan's voice with that kind of tone, something was tickling inside him. And not in the best kind of way.
And the thought that someone else could hear the same voice simply annoyed the hell out of him. He didn't care that that someone was just an NPC made of a bunch of data. The fact that the other heard it was enough.
Then, Luo Yan just went for the kill and said the following words;
"P-please, can you untie me, milord? It- it hurts…"
That tingling sensation inside Shen Ji Yun just intensified. He even almost tripped because his focus was not completely here. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and ran faster.
He actually wanted to tell Luo Yan, no, to beg him not to speak in that manner anymore. But he was afraid to disturb the other. What if because of him Luo Yan missed a good chance to escape from the Dark Saint?
He shook his head and just recited the full value of pi inside his mind.
Finally, he arrived at his destination.
Shen Ji Yun didn't waste time. He crouched down and put his hand on the ground. He released his Mana. Then, he felt like a vacuum was pulling all his strength to the ground.
Although the pain level in this game was really negligible. Unless, of course, one turned the pain receptor option to the extreme. But he could still feel his body weakening. He looked at his MP on his Status Window and saw that it was rapidly decreasing. That was probably the reason why his body was slowly losing strength.
But the fact that the Mana bombs were still not exploding meant that the Mana input was still not enough. He gritted his teeth and increased the Mana. He could just drink potions later to supplement it.
Then, when he least expected it, strings of light dashed out within the ground, starting from the part he was touching and then branching out to different directions. Shen Ji Yun knew all too well where those directions lead to – the locations of the Mana bombs that he and Dusk planted last night.
He immediately knew what was about to happen. He stood up and simply transformed into his qilin form. He no longer had to worry if these dark mages would hinder him once they found out that he's an intruder.
Because right at this moment, earth shattering explosions were happening all around the island.. Turning it into a scorching hell.
