“Hey, Roland.”
“Roland, what’re you spacing out for!”
“Uncle, come and help save her!”
Two voices rang out in turn, pulling Roland back to reality. He blinked his eyes a couple of times—the pillar of light, the snowflakes—everything had disappeared without a trace, and the messy bridge reappeared before him.
Zero and Valkries were amid the ruins trying to clear out something. From their expressions, the unforeseen event had not come to a close.
That’s right —He suddenly recalled that the person who called her, the genius martial artist Fei Yuhan, whom he felt was different at the Martialist Association, where was she?
Could it be that the ‘her’ whom Zero was referring to was—
Roland’s expression turned solemn.
At that moment, his thoughts were finally back on the right track.
He threw the entire episode to the back of his mind and rushed over to the two. The sight before him caused him to gasp in shock!
Inside a shallow pit was a badly mutilated girl. Aside from her left arm, her other limbs were all completely pulverized to the point of having her bones and flesh blended together. Her body was covered in wounds, her clothes completely soaked in blood, and half of her spine were twisted and had punctured out of her skin.
This was a sight that no one could ever lay their eyes on, even in a battlefield.
And from what remained of her face, Roland recognized her as Fei Yuhan.
She was barely clinging onto life, just barely.
“How did this…”
Roland knelt down, completely at a loss. Save her? Even with bandages, it was impossible to wrap her internal organs back into place, much less talk about stopping the bleeding. There was no spot that was perfect and unharmed on her body. Her bodily functions had completely broken down and she was completely relying on the Force of Nature to keep her consciousness from slipping away.
But this bit of power was like the last bit of wax of a candle; she was already burning out.
As a matter of fact, to be able to stay conscious in such a situation required extremely powerful willpower. Even as martial artists, very few were capable of achieving this.
“Master became like this because she protected me…” Zero sobbed.
“She’s about to die.” Valkries pointed out. “Even a Grand Lord with such injuries can only delay the inevitable in the Red Mist Pond. Furthermore, the standard of medical operations here isn’t even comparable to the Red Mist Pond. Even if she had plenty of magic power in her, we can’t reverse this. She is able to persevere because she is a true warrior.”
“You’re finally… here.” Fei Yuhan seemed to have heard them as she slowly opened her eyes. “Should I call you… Master Creator?”
Her words were mixed with a hint of humor, and the expression she gave made it look as though she was not in a perilous situation.
Roland seemed stunned for a moment. “You…”
“I am sorry… I eavesdropped on your conversation.” She winked at Valkries—the only action she was capable of making. “But if we could do it all over again, I would… still do this. Zero… is she okay?”
The few sentences seemed to take a toll on her. They had to hold their breaths and get close to her to listen to her words.
“Master, I… am fine…” Zero whimpered.
“This world… is still fine, right?” Fei Yuhan sighed. “In a way, I can consider this as fulfilling my responsibility in protecting it.”
“So you are aware that this world is a Dreamworld—” Valkries frowned.
“Maybe to you guys, there many worlds, but in my eyes… this is the only one. And it is a martial artist’s duty to protect this world.” She paused for a moment. “Allow me to say this… Master Creator, since you created this world, you should have some trust in everyone, right?”
