Chapter 1256: Chapter 112: Golden Despair_5
The rampant energy gradually dissipated, Xuan Yue rushed out heedlessly, scooped the collapsed Ah Dai into her embrace, and without sparing her own magic power, continuously healed Ah Dai using Light Magic. She found that Ah Dai was only severely depleted of energy and hadn’t sustained any real injuries. This reassured her.
...
Unsure how much time had passed, Ah Dai gradually woke from his unconsciousness. He found himself in a spacious room; the room was simply decorated, and the white walls appeared incredibly clean. Moving his body slightly, he felt an indescribable weakness. A blue silhouette caught his attention. Straining to look, the blue figure was Xuan Yue, who lay beside the bed, sleeping soundly, her brow slightly furrowed as if she was uneasy even in her dreams. Ah Dai felt warmth in his heart; he knew Xuan Yue was worried about him! Thinking about how he had rejected Yue Yue, he couldn’t help but sigh internally. Why were Xuan Re and his sister both so kind to him? He really owed Yue Yue!
Sensing the fluctuations of Ah Dai’s energy, Xuan Yue’s body trembled and she woke from her daze. The bewildered look in her eyes slowly cleared as she saw Ah Dai staring intently at her, and she couldn’t help but exclaim with joy, "Big brother, you’re awake. How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"
Xuan Yue’s eager concern made Ah Dai’s nose tingle, and his eyes reddened. "Good brother, don’t worry; I’m alright now."
Xuan Yue was relieved and said, "That’s good. You really scared me. What would I have done if something had happened to you!" After saying this, Xuan Yue’s face flushed, and she quickly bowed her head, using her shoulder-length blue hair to hide her embarrassed look. Her heart pounded like a deer, exceptionally shy.
Ah Dai felt an unusual stir in his heart, and as his strength gradually returned, he scratched his head and asked, "Brother, what was the outcome of the duel? Did I win or lose?"
Xuan Yue’s agitated emotions gradually calmed down, and she tied her disheveled hair with a band of the same color at her back, smiling and saying, "The result is probably what you hoped for. The Mage Guild of the Empire of Tian Jing didn’t win, and the Continental Mage Guild didn’t lose either. You and Larthas both passed out, and all the mages present were shocked by your powerful abilities. Even the landscape in the canyon was changed by that final impact. It was a destructive power! It was terrifying – I never imagined human power could cause such a scene. Lastly, an Alchemist named Levi deemed the duel a draw. Both sides had no mood to continue, and the result was left unresolved. No one managed to drive the other out of Andis City, and both Mage Guilds are still one on either side of the main road. After this duel, it seems the hostility between them has lessened, and that Mage named Gorisong even said he wants to come find you. Do you know him? Ah, Gorisong, he must be related to your teacher Goris, right?"
Ah Dai sighed and said, "Gorisong is the only direct brother of the teacher. I didn’t expect it to end in a draw. Larthas truly deserves his reputation as the number one Attack Mage of the continent. His level is too strong. If I hadn’t used True Qi to aid Sheng Xie in withstanding his Attack Magic at the last moment, I would have definitely lost. If it were just a contest of magic, probably ten of me couldn’t match him."
Xuan Yue smiled and said, "Big brother, you shouldn’t belittle yourself. Everyone has their own strengths. Even without Sheng Xie, if you had used the Heavenly Thunder Clash that defeated the four Skeletons, you might not necessarily lose to his Eighth Tier Flame Dragon. But it’s good that, if he had been able to use the Ninth Tier Flame Dragon, you would have been in real trouble. That old man is really ruthless; he was totally out to take your life. His strength fused with the Fire Spirit Pearl might even be slightly better than dad’s."
With Xuan Yue’s help, Ah Dai sat up and said, "Brother, where are we? A hotel?"
Xuan Yue replied, "Big brother, you’re so silly! After we helped the Continental Mage Guild so much, how could they let us stay in a hotel? This is the Continental Mage Guild. Just rest assured and recuperate here. Once you’ve recovered, we can leave. Those elders are extremely grateful to you, kept saying your magical prowess is profound, and even said that with you in the Guild, they no longer need to fear Larthas. If they know you’ve awoken, they’ll definitely come to thank you."
With the dispute between the two Mage Guilds temporarily resolved, Ah Dai felt much lighter. He smiled and said, "No need for thanks. As long as there are no more disputes between the two guilds in the future, I’ll be satisfied. Once my strength is restored, it’s better for us to leave quickly. By the way, have I been unconscious for a long time?"
Xuan Yue shook her head and said, "Not really long. Compared to Sheng Xie’s sleeping abilities, you’re still far behind. It’s just been two days and two nights."
Hearing Xuan Yue mention Sheng Xie, Ah Dai’s heart tightened and he said, "I wonder if Xiao Qie was seriously injured this time. It’s entered sleep again; I hope it doesn’t sleep another two years! It’s all my fault. If I hadn’t been so cautious and just used Heavenly Thunder Clash directly, Xiao Qie wouldn’t have been injured."
Xuan Yue said, "I saw how Xiao Qie was injured; it didn’t seem too severe. Was that Magic he used the Dragon Spell you mentioned to me before? It’s really powerful. I think, with your support of True Qi, it shouldn’t be in a long sleep. As long as it wakes up before we reach the Death Mountain Range, that will be fine."
Ah Dai nodded and said, "Brother, you’ve been taking care of me here all the time; it’s been too hard on you. You should rest now. Your magic power was also greatly depleted that day."
Xuan Yue nodded. She had been vigilantly staying by Ah Dai’s side for the past two days, and now that Ah Dai was alright, waves of fatigue continuously overwhelmed her. She yawned and said, "Then let’s meditate together. I’ll go into Meditation State first." After saying this, she took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and sat opposite Ah Dai. She quietly chanted a few Spells and entered the Meditation State. The Holy Glow enveloping her body appeared dimmer than usual, slowly absorbing the Light elements from the air.
