Chapter 127: Chapter 113: If you pet my tail, can I resurrect then_1? Chapter 127: Chapter 113: If you pet my tail, can I resurrect then_1? Gasany looked at the old power armor charging wildly across the sanatorium yard as if no one were present.

A team of guards was chased everywhere.

Why did he feel that the controller inside the armor wasn’t very strong?

At least not as strong as described in yesterday’s incident.

Where are the other guards?

Why haven’t they shown up yet?

Gasany looked into the distance.

Oh, they were all like him, hiding in the corners and watching from afar.

From start to finish, only the honest ones had rushed in.

After all, most of the elite soldiers who came to the sanatorium were shrewd, and no one wanted to rush out to be cannon fodder without reaching the third tier; humans were not made of steel and couldn’t directly contend with armor.

Gasany finally couldn’t stand it anymore.

It’s one thing for me as a leader to watch, but you subordinates just spectate?

What’s your position, and what’s mine?

Gasany raised his palm, and as an icy blue inscription appeared, snow and wind gathered in his hand, an ice crystal spear taking shape, then he hurled it forcefully.

“Take him down for me!”

Immediately, as the captain of the guards took action, the rest of the guards finally started to move.

Luo Xi felt a chilling intent coming at him from the side, and he quickly turned and swung his sword, the blade, engulfed in hot black and red flames, collided with the ice crystal spear, creating a vast expanse of mist and a thunderous collision sound in an instant.

“Brother Luo, I feel like I can’t run anymore! How much longer do we need to block? These guys seem to be all coming at once, I really can’t hold on.”

Chu Tian was so exhausted that he couldn’t move; he took deep breaths and shouted loudly at Luo Xi.

The agility bestowed by his talents greatly enhanced his dodging ability, but his physical strength did not improve much, so he could not engage in high-intensity activity for too long.

Luo Xi took a brief look at the massive main building of the sanatorium.

He wondered if Wei’er had found anyone yet.

The guards here all seemed to be experts, and now it looked like they weren’t planning to go one by one; if they came all at once, with his current abilities, he was afraid he would be captured within minutes.

“Spark, initiate the furnace core overload.”

The little fairy sat on Luo Xi’s shoulder, her face full of joy:

‘Then please pour all your strength into the inside of Spark! Spark has been looking forward to it! The hot, scalding strength of yours!’

Luo Xi’s eyelid twitched, “Where did you learn this speech template, Spark? Why does it sound weirder the more I listen?”

‘Huh? What does Master mean? The words Spark speaks are all of Spark’s will. Wasn’t it Master who brought Spark out of ignorance? Everything about Spark now is a gift from Master, ooh, Master’s strength is so warm and delicious~’

Luo Xi: “…”

This power armor fairy’s words were always skewed, making it impossible not to misinterpret them.

If others found out, they would definitely think he was a pervert who wouldn’t even spare his own ‘onboard AI’.

[Note: Isn’t the traveler a loli-con pervert?]

I don’t need damn text interrupting at critical moments!

After the loss of Yuan Su inside his body, the text refreshed with a new message.

[Yuan Su Furnace Core—Overload Initiated (Duration 3 minutes)]

[Ding! Traveler, your Essence Power Armor has gained a temporary +300% boost to all its power, lasting for 3 minutes. After the boost ends, the Yuan Su Furnace Core will enter a temporary dormant state, and the power armor will suffer some damage.]

As the circulation of Yuan Su entered his body, Luo Xi instantly felt as if he had been injected with an adrenaline shot, and his entire body tensed up.

Crack—

The arm of the armor made a cracking noise.

A small piece of black outer shell finally fell off, burnt by the black and red fierce flames that burst forth.

Is this the damage to the armor?

A few burly guards rushed up, blocking his sword and fists with large shields, trying to pin him down.

The next moment, they were all hit by the armor and sent flying, wrapped in the fierce flames and wailing as they rolled in the snow.

Gasany’s pupils contracted sharply; he immediately noticed the problem with the armor, “Get away from it! Just form a circle and attack from a distance. It has overloaded its power core and is now in a berserk state. No matter how many come, they won’t be able to subdue it. Just wait for the time to pass, and it will naturally weaken!”

Intense heat began to steam up the surrounding snow and ice, quickly filling the entire courtyard with fog.

All the soldiers dared not get close to the desperately fighting power armor anymore.

“Brother Luo, is this the second stage?” Chu Tian shouted in shock: “Damn, why do I feel like we’re playing a different game? Where the hell did you get this…”

Bang—

Before Chu Tian could finish speaking, an ice crystal spear precisely struck his chest, pinning him to the ground, then various ice-related skills and spears burst toward the armor, but were all blocked by the black and red fierce flames.

Luo Xi: “…”

For some reason, even though he knew Chu Tian could resurrect at any time if he died, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

These soldiers were indeed stronger than yesterday’s; they knew the weakness of his power armor, which had no long-range attack capability. Even with the core overloaded, he could only burst into sprinting speed and could not chase after enemies for an extended time.

The flexibility of the armor was even worse.

But it was enough.

What Luo Xi needed to do was not to kill the enemy but to delay.

Cat Cat, hurry up.

If you don’t hurry, once the three minutes of ‘transformation’ are over, I guess I’ll have no way out.

Gasany was very satisfied watching the power armor trapped in the encirclement.

Although he didn’t know why the controller of the armor attacked St. Sound Sanatorium, as long as he captured it, he would receive a huge reward.

Quickly, the three minutes passed.

When the aura on the armor vanished, Gasany waved his hand, and all the guards rushed up eagerly.

Squeak—

The hatch suddenly opened.

In full view of everyone, a person wrapped in clothes jumped down from inside the armor, stretched out their hand, and with a flash of white light, the armor disappeared from the ground.

This phenomenon left all onlookers dumbfounded.

Gasany was first shocked, then overjoyed.

So this is how the armor vanished from the city.

This extremely special mutation skill, if he could catch it alive and present it to the City Owner, how much military merit would that be worth?

“Capture him alive! Whoever catches him, I personally reward them with 100 gold coins!”

“Capture me alive? That will definitely not be possible.”

Luo Xi took a deep breath.

“Would you like to use the talent upgrade effect on the talent: ‘Variant’?”

“Yes.”

With the existence of the ability to rewind, there was no harm in trying.

He wanted to see what kind of enhancement this purple talent would gain after being upgraded.

“Ding! Talent effect is upgrading…”

“Upgrade successful.”

“Traveler, your talent: Variant (Purple/Epic) has been enhanced.”

“Ding! The Mutant Factors within your body have been refined, and the source of the factors has been deciphered: Red Dragon Species—Tier Five—Black Abyss Flame Dragon.”

“Ding! Your strength +10, physique +10, spirit +4, intelligence +4, and your skill resistance +10%.”

“Ding! Traveler, your Factor Concentration has increased!”

“1.03%→1.59%”

“You have acquired the skill: Melting Fire.”

“Description: Enables your body to produce flames with temperatures up to 1200 degrees (consumes Yuan Su).”

Luo Xi looked at the text in front of him, and a hint of red emanated from his originally black pupils.

It seemed the effects weren’t bad?

However, his head felt a bit itchy, and tingling—surely his horns weren’t growing longer?

Speaking of which, did the talent ‘Variant’ really count as a purely negative talent?

Sublimation and Mutation, the two distinct pathways to Transcendence in this world. Since the Path of Mutant Transcendence existed, it must certainly have its own reason for existence.

While Luo Xi was distracted, someone had already charged forward, attempting to pin him down.

He brandished his fine steel long knife and swung at the attacker.

Then, as the attacker recoiled, Luo Xi bolted toward the sanatorium’s exterior.

This talent effect had only increased some basic attributes and granted one skill; it wasn’t an overpowered cheat that could defeat everything instantly. Facing so many people, if he didn’t want to die, his only option was to take to his heels and run.

But the soldiers already blocked the entrance of the sanatorium.

Then, he would have to break through by force!

Wei’er might still be inside. Whatever he did now was just buying time for the enemy, attracting many of them to chase him.

Suddenly, Luo Xi felt an intense sense of danger.

“Ding! Talent: Sixth Sense has been triggered.”

A scene appeared out of nowhere in his mind.

He saw himself, the moment he was about to leave, being attacked by an old man with a shady face who held a blue crystal skill staff.

The gate was not an option?

Luo Xi decisively stopped and bolted towards the nearby wall.

Someone from behind tried to grab him but withdrew immediately after being scorched by the flames erupting from his body.

Luo Xi looked annoyed at his clothes, which were burning merrily.

“Does the skill ‘Melting Fire’ even burn one’s own clothes?!”

Upon finally reaching the wall, Luo Xi was about to break through when he was overwhelmed by an intense sense of crisis once more.

But this time he had no choice.

The guards and some elite soldiers with strong auras had already caught up.

Luo Xi smashed through the iron bars and fell onto the snow-covered ground outside the sanatorium’s wall.

“Soul Shatter.”

“Lord, this is unwise!”

After an old voice and frantic shouts, Luo Xi suddenly felt a heavy blow to his back.

He barely turned his head and saw that same old man with the staff.

“Ding! You’ve been hit by a Third-tier spirit skill—Life Shatter. Due to your physique and magic characteristics’ resistance, you will die in one minute.”

Luo Xi: “…”

Absurd, after all this delaying, an old bastard suddenly came out and hit him hard.

But Third-tier… A Third-tier Skill Practitioner was this powerful?

Wei’er had also said that only Origin Beasts of Tier Three and above were true calamities.

Suddenly, a wall of earth rose from the ground, separating him from his pursuers.

“Idiot! You were just supposed to stall, not go get yourself killed!”

A petite figure crouched down, picked up Luo Xi, and within a few seconds, employed numerous scrolls to conceal their presences and hurriedly fled into the distance.

Luo Xi, feeling the softness of the girl holding him, said in surprise, “Cat Cat, you found someone?”

Wei’er immediately responded, “Yes, let’s not talk about that now. How is your body?”

Luo Xi looked wistfully at the sky.

“I’m likely about to die.”

Wei’er paused, then said, “Liar, you’re still fine… Hey, what exactly did you get hit with? Don’t you die on me!”

The girl felt the life force of the young man in her arms rapidly ebbing away.

Luo Xi too felt the life slipping from his body.

He struggled to open his eyes and heard the sound of his body breaking apart, like shattering ceramic — it was the manifestation of a Third-tier skill destroying his vitality.

“You pervert, don’t die…”

Wei’er’s almost pleading cry echoed, “Luo Xi, can you still hear me? Didn’t you say you could resurrect? Then hurry up and resurrect!”

Damn, I’m not dead yet, stupid Cat Cat, how am I supposed to resurrect?

“Let me pet your tail a few times, and I should… probably be able to resurrect…”

A warm, fluffy cat tail appeared in Luo Xi’s hand.

Luo Xi: “…”

He gently pinched and petted it generously.

“Ding! Your Happiness Level +30.”

“Note: Damn Traveler, you really are a cheat!”

In the girl’s profound sadness, the life force of the young man in her arms quickly disappeared, and his body turned into countless fragments. With a gust of cold wind, they scattered into nothingness.
