A grayish-white hue enveloped the room, a thick, suffocating aura of death spreading within him, filling the entire space with a chilling, decayed atmosphere.
Sean Sterling furrowed his brow, his gaze fixed on Bu for a long time, remaining silent. Beside him stood a striking figure, Elena, who also wore a worried expression.
Even with both of them possessing Quasi-Advanced strength, they found Bu's condition extremely troublesome, perhaps even hopeless, unable to restore the vitality that had dissipated within him.
Ultimately, it was the Ethereal Thirteen Swords that were too bizarre and evil, draining life force to gain explosive power. This was no better than burning one's soul for a surge in strength; in the end, it harmed both the user and the wielder.
At the moment Warren Earl bestowed the Ethereal Thirteen Swords upon Bu, he had already drawn his knife against him, setting a massive trap with no intention of allowing Bu to survive.
The Ethereal Thirteen Swords had been notorious since thirty years ago. Although it had gradually faded from people's memories over time, just mentioning it would cause listeners to turn pale.
This was an exceedingly evil Forbidden Technique. If not for its relatively low tier—merely a basic inheritance passed down from a powerful figure of the Medieval Period—it would have long been eradicated by some self-proclaimed righteous individuals from the Holy Order Alliance. There would be no remnants of this Skill Book left to cause trouble.
In the past, any warrior who learned this evil sword technique did not survive beyond five years. Even those who later recognized its sinister nature and ceased using it ultimately could not escape their fate. They would find themselves surrounded by dark energy, helplessly watching as their skin aged, hair fell out, teeth decayed, and blood dried up while they screamed in agony until death claimed them.
This was an evil taboo left behind by demons on earth, a terrifying sorcery that devoured human life. It spread across more than a dozen countries that year, stirring up a storm of bloodshed. Those who painstakingly acquired this technique were filled with joy as they learned it, hoping to master and break through to higher realms to inherit the legacy of ancient powers. Yet in the end, none achieved their wish; all met tragic ends.
Afterward, the Ethereal Thirteen Swords, initially classified as Combat Skills at the level of martial techniques, were ultimately categorized as one of the most terrifying forms of Forbidden Techniques within the Martial Arts Realm. No one dared to learn this Sword Technique again.
Bu arrived at the Fran Continent in ignorance and was manipulated by Warren Earl's malicious intent. In his confusion, he learned this extremely evil Ethereal Thirteen Swords—truly a calamity destined for him.
Had he not been driven by greed and demanded Combat Skills from Warren Earl so brazenly, perhaps this incident would never have occurred.
At this moment, he was surrounded by thick death energy; his blood ran cold within him, devoid of warmth and vitality. If he continued in this state of unconsciousness, it would not take years—just months before all life force within him completely extinguished and he died.
Looking at Bu in his unconscious state, Sean Sterling felt a bitter smile rise within him. He truly did not know what to say about this reckless and bold youth. Now witnessing Bu's severe injuries and seeing his hair turned white—he appeared even older than Sean himself—an inexplicable sense of sorrow welled up in Sean's heart.
After a while, seemingly unable to adapt to the slightly oppressive atmosphere, Elena sighed lightly and turned to Sean Sterling. She spoke softly: "Is it worth using that Revitalization Pill we received as a reward from our last academy mission on him? After all, that's a precious item you worked hard for nearly half a year to obtain to restore your Mental Power."
Medicines capable of healing Mental Power were exceedingly rare and each one was worth its weight in gold. If this single pill were given to him, who knew how long it would take to acquire another? And if you want to advance to High-Level without this Revitalization Pill to help repair your mental damage, how many more years would you have to spend?
Is it really worth doing this… just for someone who has no future? Even if he wakes up… he won't have many years left to live."
Gradually, Elena's voice grew softer as she discerned from Sean Sterling's increasingly cold gaze that he had made up his mind. Given his temperament, no amount of persuasion from her would change it. She shook her head and glanced at Bu with a sigh at his misfortune.
At that moment, Sean Sterling seemed to have made a decision as he slowly pulled out a long-necked jade vial from his sleeve.
The jade bottle was crystal clear, emitting a soft white light, with what appeared to be swirling energy on its surface, making it extraordinarily unique. This was undoubtedly a bottle made entirely of Azure Jade, and judging by its appearance, it was of exceptionally high quality.
At the moment Sean Sterling took out the bottle, Elena opened her mouth as if to speak but ultimately held back, feeling increasingly amazed by her good fortune.
Gazing at the jade bottle in his hand, Sean Sterling remained calm as he slowly uncorked it. A faint yet distinct Medicine Fragrance gradually wafted from the opening, quickly filling the entire room.
This Medicine Fragrance was quite peculiar; those who inhaled it felt their minds become ethereal and their spirits unusually tranquil and clear, as if all distractions and mental burdens had been expelled, allowing for unparalleled clarity of thought.
As the Medicine Fragrance permeated the room, Bu Shuang’s eyelids twitched slightly, indicating signs of awakening, but he ultimately fell back into silence, as if the previous scene had been an illusion.
With Sean Sterling's formidable Mental Power, he clearly sensed that Bu Shuang's Mental Power showed subtle signs of revival. Without hesitation, he waved his right hand, and a transparent pill the size of a longan rolled out from the bottle's opening.
The moment this pill appeared, the Medicine Fragrance in the room intensified tenfold. Being in its presence felt like one's soul had detached from the body, free from all physical constraints and returning to a state of pure spiritual essence.
Sean Sterling did not allow the Medicine Fragrance to dissipate too much; almost immediately after the transparent pill rolled out, he used a level three magic spell to control it and brought it to Bu Shuang's lips. An astonishing scene unfolded as the moment this transparent pill touched Bu Shuang's lips, it seemed to possess a will of its own and transformed into a stream of clear water that flowed into his mouth and entered his body.
At the instant the pill was swallowed, the Medicine Fragrance in the room seemed to form a storm, wildly converging towards Bu Shuang, seeping into his body through every pore.
The restoration of spirit was an intangible healing process that could not be perceived by the naked eye but leaned more towards a spiritual and intuitive sensation.
At this moment, within Sean Sterling's mental perception, Bu Shuang’s nearly depleted Mental Power resembled a candle flickering in the wind, at risk of being extinguished at any moment. However, after swallowing the Revitalization Pill, Bu Shuang’s Mental Power began to recover at an alarming rate.
This recovery speed was akin to a flame igniting dry grass; the grass then set ablaze an entire forest, creating a raging fire.
A pill capable of restoring damage to Sean Sterling's Mental Power was certainly not an ordinary item. With Sean Sterling being a Quasi-Advanced mage specializing in Mental Power, his strength was unimaginable. In comparison, Bu Shuang’s Mental Power was like a firefly next to a bright moon.
Using a Revitalization Pill to heal damage to Bu Shuang’s Mental Power was akin to using a cannon to kill a mosquito or using a Snow Sun Pill for a cold—an extravagant act beyond reason.
Looking at Bu Shuang’s personal attribute panel at this moment revealed that his Mental Power value had recovered slightly within just moments. Ultimately, not only did his 16 points of Mental Power fully recover, but it also surged by two or three points until the last burst of effectiveness from the Revitalization Pill, pushing this extravagant treatment to its peak.
At this moment, not only had Bu Shuang’s Mental Power fully recovered but it also skyrocketed to 1 point, increasing by nearly thirty percent.
With a soft hum, Bu Shuang, who had been in a coma, gradually awakened. He slowly opened his eyes; his gaze seemed unfocused as he stared blankly at the ceiling for quite some time before revealing a hint of confusion.
Sean Sterling and Elena exchanged glances but did not disturb him; they quietly waited.
As his chaotic thoughts were gradually organized, brightness began to emerge in Bu Shuang’s eyes as he completely awoke from his confusion. The first thing he did upon regaining consciousness was focus on entering his Personal Attribute Interface for a detailed examination.
Character: Vampire: Vampire Faction: Dark
Power: 4 (7+7) Agility: 41 (7+4) Constitution: 4 (+9) Spirit: 1 Energy: 56/10
Occupation: None Faith: None Level: Level Experience Value: 0/8000 Physical Condition: Light Injury 9%
Racial Gift (Active): Level 1 Baron Bloodline Transformation Effect: All attributes increase by twenty percent, triggering Bloodthirsty Fangs, entering Bloodthirsty State. This state consumes 5 energy points and lasts for two minutes. Cooldown time: 10 minutes.
The personal attribute values caught Bu Xin off guard, raising countless questions in his mind.
The decrease in values representing Power, Agility, and Constitution was understandable, as the Stone Devourer Leather Armor had been destroyed, meaning the three points of Power, two points of Agility, and five points of Constitution added by the leather armor's Amplification would also diminish.
The additional thirty points in Experience came from defeating Bowen of the Miso Family, which granted him the Experience reward. The total energy increased by two points was a result of recent continuous training. However, the growth in Mental Power was puzzling; he was particularly confused about this. Yet, there was a more pressing concern on his mind—the danger posed by the Ethereal Thirteen Swords sword technique.
Once he regained consciousness, he felt an overwhelming sense of dread about his previous experience using the tenth sword of the Ethereal Thirteen Swords. The loss of rationality and the terrifying scene of life being drained haunted him relentlessly. Therefore, upon waking up, he immediately opened the Personal Attribute Interface to check his current condition.
However, some of the values displayed now left him perplexed. He felt an unprecedented fatigue, as if he could collapse into sleep at any moment. Yet according to the status shown on the attribute interface, his physical condition seemed fine with no issues at all; in fact, his Mental Power appeared to have improved significantly compared to before he lost consciousness.
