From far away...
Lilith was running over. When she was still several ters away from Maxwell, she jumped off and landed in his embrace. She then loudly said, "You are too powerful! I knew you could do it! Hahaha... I didn’t pick the wrong person... How could the man I’ve picked be possibly bad!"
This, even though it seed like a simple embrace, there was actually a woman in Maxwell’s arms. This happiness had arrived too suddenly, so he wasn’t prepared for it at all.
At the sa ti, amid the collapsed wall, the ground began shaking, and an evil aura rose. Maxwell was startled by this as he frowned and said to himself, "He should still be okay, right?"
Indeed, a hand popped out of the rubble, and so bricks scattered to the side. A low voice was then heard: "Ferris, if you want to get past , you need to kill first. Hahaha..."
Adam started crawling back to his feet amongst all the debris.
His clothes were tattered, and his whole body was covered in bloody wounds.
The image of him was rather embarrassing, but his tone was filled with unbridled arrogance. Add the fact that his face was sared with blood, and he looked like a domineering, willed man!
Lilith quickly jumped out of Maxwell’s embrace. She then looked at Adam amidst the rubble and said with concern: "Senior..."
Maxwell was happy when he realised Adam was truly still alive. It felt like a big stone had been lifted from his heart. He then shouted, "Senior, that mongrel Ferris has already been killed by !"
It was all thanks to Adam stalling for ti so that Maxwell could successfully kill Ferris. If it weren’t for him using his life as the stake, Maxwell wouldn’t have had enough ti to level up and increase his Overdrive technique. The outco would be everyone dying here together.
Adam was stunned.
Only after seeing the ss around him did his lips curve into a faint smile.
Imdiately after, he slumped to the ground.
He was able to hold on and crawl out of the rubble because he was technically on his last breath. Seeing how the Dead City was in a complete ss and there was no longer any sign of Ferris’s death aura around, the realisation hit him that Ferris had been killed by Maxwell.
He was happy for Maxwell. But at this mont, his head beca heavy before he fainted.
Maxwell’s expression drastically changed. His figure almost instantaneously appeared behind Adam to support his fall. He then said internally, "Senior, I hope you’re okay. If sothing happens to you, I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself."
Maxwell was very clear that if it weren’t for Adam using his life to block Ferris, there was no way they would achieve their current outco.
Most likely, Maxwell would’ve died by Ferris’s hands already.
Maxwell really admired Adam’s righteous personality and didn’t want to lose such a brother.
Adam didn’t say anything and only had a faint smile on his face.
For him right now, it was mission accomplished.
It no longer mattered if he was dead or alive.
The mont he stood out, he knew there was a high chance of his dying, so he was very calm about it.
Lilith and Ludwick quickly ran towards them.
Ludwick took Adam’s pulse and started frowning. His fingers then let go and shook his head helplessly at Maxwell. "It’s too late. His internal organ functions are all non-existent, so I’m afraid that even if Gods descended, they wouldn’t be able to do anything about it."
Maxwell’s expression turned grim, and he said, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to let you die."
Imdiately after, Maxwell leapt into the air and floated above Dead City. He then sent out his spiritual intent that swept through every nook and cranny. As he was searching, he finally found his target behind the Dark King’s Palace.
His body flew off; his speed was so fast that he almost instantaneously arrived at the rear of the Dark King’s Palace. After kicking two flying, undying guards, he smashed the door open and found the old granny along with the six naked Gno race won.
At this ti, he grabbed onto the old woman’s hand and said: "Old granny, Ferris has been killed by, and the old man has also been rescued. My mission has been completed, so quickly give my reward."
He really needed the quest reward because this was a chance at his life-saving straw. If that chance worked out, he could save Adam, so he really needed this reward to work.
To those won, Maxwell seed to be rambling incoherently.
Because Maxwell was really worried that Adam would die right here.
If this were the case, Maxwell might hate himself for the rest of his life.
For such a righteous person, Maxwell was even willing to go to hell and bring him back.
The old granny was sowhat stunned by this and didn’t really understand what Maxwell was talking about. But hearing that Ferris was dead and her husband was saved, she beca excited and said, "Kid, you are indeed the man ntioned in the prophecy. I didn’t pick the wrong person."
"Enough about that."
"I’m only asking you this: Ferris has died, and the old man has been rescued, so does that an my quest has been accomplished? You only need to answer and ignore the aning of it." Maxwell hastily said as he didn’t have ti to explain himself.
He was racing against ti. He was fighting for a chance.
He was gambling on this! He was gambling on the quest reward, which was supposed to be a supportive skill!
At this mont, this was Maxwell’s life-saving straw.
The system didn’t seem to have intelligence. As long as the person who gave out the quest acknowledges it in any shape or form, the quest would be considered completed. Since ti was running short, Adam might not be able to hold on anymore. And Maxwell might really end up not forgiving himself for the rest of his life.
The old granny was confused. Seeing how anxious Maxwell was, she imdiately nodded: "Yes, it does, it does."
"Crackle!"
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for completing..."
Maxwell didn’t bother paying attention to it and only focused on the last remark.
"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for gaining the Martial Technique."
"Healing Craft."
At this mont, Maxwell looked like he had caught a trace of hope while having grasped his own destiny within his hands. The excitent in his heart was indescribable as he laughed to himself: "He can be saved, he can be saved! Hahaha... Adam will definitely be saved by this!"
What sort of thing was this Healing Craft?
This was a technique similar to the Heal or Cure spell that Priests in video gas would learn, allowing them to replenish a player’s health bar. With this technique, Maxwell could definitely save Adam without a doubt... right?
After catching up with him, Lilith had a bewildered expression on her face as she couldn’t tell what was going on with Maxwell. He originally had a depressed look, but then suddenly had an excited look, so she asked: "Did you think of a thod?"
Maxwell imdiately said: "There’s a way... If I can’t help him, then I, Maxwell, am a complete bastard, hahaha... You guys just watch, it will definitely work."
He had gained the Healing Craft Technique as a reward.
But... Can it really save Adam?
This wasn’t a video ga. Inside video gas, as long as soone had a single health point left, they could be healed with enough mana. But this was reality, so did the Healing Craft Technique really have similar effects? Maxwell didn’t know, and the unknown was what he was secretly worried about. But... This was the only thod he could think of, so he could only take a gamble!
