Chapter 369: Misunderstanding
Watching Savinia, whose only normal feature was her head, put on a tearful little-girl act.
Li Wei felt absolutely no sense of cuteness or charm from her.
It was just too unsettling.
Seeing something like this in the middle of the night would probably scare a person to death.
The sound of a little girl crying in the dead of night, and when you get closer, you see a normal human head perched on a skeleton frame.
’The very thought is horrifying.’
Li Wei said helplessly, "Alright, alright. I admit I was wrong to blame you all."
Only now did Li Wei realize that the Legendary Witch Lich, Savinia, and the others never had any intention of using him to get the Goddess’s Tears.
’From start to finish, everything I suspected was just my own paranoia.’
The Legendary Witch Lich, Savinia, and the others had been doing everything they could to help him get the Goddess’s Tears.
But unfortunately, he had failed to live up to their expectations.
’If only I’d been a little bolder.’
’I might have already left Storm City with the Goddess’s Tears by now.’
’Of course, it was more likely that the Divine Hall of Light would have caught me red-handed, branded me a heretic, and killed me on the spot.’
For now, the only thing Li Wei could be sure of was that the Legendary Witch Lich wanted him to resurrect the Little Bone Dragon.
’Why is the Legendary Witch Lich so obsessed with resurrecting the Little Bone Dragon?’
Li Wei didn’t really know why.
’Could it be to test the feasibility of the Polluted Earth Rebirth Ceremony?’
Savinia’s senses suddenly tingled. She perceived something approaching and dropped her cutesy act.
She turned her head to look at the wall beside them.
A white Ghost floated out from inside the wall.
"Elizabeth?" Savinia called out.
The white Ghost morphed into the image of a woman draped in a white bedsheet.
Elizabeth was one of Savinia’s companions.
She was an Undead in the form of a Ghost.
Li Wei turned his head to look, not particularly surprised.
He had already seen the Ghost form Elizabeth could take.
Elizabeth seemed to possess the ability to split herself.
It was precisely because of this ability that she had been able to find Li Wei, which in turn allowed Savinia to find him.
Elizabeth said, "I’ve found the Goddess’s Tears. As a Ghost, I can’t get close to them. The rest is up to you."
Hearing this, Savinia’s face lit up with delight.
She threw her arms around Elizabeth, nuzzling against the Ghost’s soft, spongy, balloon-like body.
"Elizabeth, you’re amazing!"
Elizabeth simply turned intangible and passed right through Savinia’s body, not wanting to cuddle with her.
Normally, it would have been one thing.
’But this skeleton body, picked up from who-knows-where, is still stained with filth. The bones are poky, and it’s not the least bit comfortable to hug.’
Elizabeth gave Savinia a look of disgust.
She was a neat freak.
Savinia clearly didn’t realize this and tried to hug Elizabeth again.
THUD!
Savinia slammed headfirst into the wall.
"Oof!"
Savinia clutched her head.
Elizabeth phased through the other side of the wall, looked at Li Wei, and said, "I’ll take you."
"Right, thank you," Li Wei said.
The two of them headed in the direction of the Goddess’s Tears.
It took Savinia a long moment of clutching her head to realize what had happened.
She quickly chased after them, shouting, "Wait for me! Don’t go so fast, this body can’t run well."
CLACK CLACK CLACK!
Hearing the grinding of bones from behind him, the corner of Li Wei’s eye twitched.
’He was just afraid Savinia’s body would fall apart as she ran.’
’There was no way he was going to carry her head for her.’
’He’d just let it roll on its own.’
A short while later, Li Wei arrived on the roof of a building.
Elizabeth was hiding inside the building, not daring to come out and face the Sun.
For a Ghost of her level, exposure to sunlight was no longer instantly fatal.
However, the sunlight still made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
Her Power would also be weakened somewhat.
Hiding in the shadow at Li Wei’s feet, Elizabeth said, "The Goddess’s Tears are just ahead. I can’t get any closer. The power of the Goddess’s Tears will purify a Ghost."
Li Wei nodded. "Right, I understand."
Elizabeth added a warning, "There are a lot of people around. They seem to be after the Goddess’s Tears, too. Be careful."
"Thanks for the warning."
In truth, Li Wei didn’t need the warning. His Spiritual Perception had already revealed his surroundings to him.
The range of his Spiritual Perception extended five hundred meters.
Almost no one nearby could escape his detection.
However, certain methods could still evade a wide-range Spiritual Perception.
Methods like the stealth and Invisibility Skills of an Assassin Professional.
Savinia was waiting in the alley below the building.
Hearing Elizabeth’s voice, she said, "Should I go draw their fire? I’m best at taking on large groups.
Taking on a hundred at once is a piece of cake.
I guarantee I’ll make those men so weak in the knees they won’t be able to stand up straight."
Savinia said, brimming with confidence.
Li Wei: "..."
’He couldn’t help but feel there was a double meaning in her words.’
’Or was he just overthinking it?’
He shook his head and refused. "You’d better not. You’ll attract the attention of the Divine Hall of Light before you even deal with our targets."
The abilities Savinia had displayed during the Miracle Ceremony were still fresh in Li Wei’s mind.
’He really didn’t dare let her run wild.’
Her abilities were wide-ranging and indiscriminate.
She didn’t distinguish between friend and foe.
Li Wei gazed into the distance, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"They’re making their move."
A large crowd had surrounded a small courtyard, and the people inside were clearly aware of their predicament.
They were on high alert, with all doors and windows shut tight, giving the people outside no chance to glimpse what was happening inside.
Ranged Professionals were always the first to act.
A dozen or so Divine Shooters unleashed the Combat Skill, "Arrow Rain."
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!
A dense volley of arrows rained down on the small courtyard.
The arrows, numbering in the hundreds or even thousands, were a spectacular sight.
THWACK THWACK THWACK!
In the blink of an eye, the entire courtyard was covered in arrows, as if it had instantly sprouted a lawn of them.
As the second Arrow Rain was about to fall, the people inside the room could no longer sit still.
If they let the Divine Shooters keep attacking like this, they would eventually be worn down and killed.
All it cost the attackers was a few thousand arrows.
CRASH!
A Knight in heavy Armor took the lead, smashing through the door and charging out of the room.
He charged at the crowd outside.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
In an instant, countless Skills were unleashed on the Knight.
Even a Knight with incredibly high Defense Power would find it difficult to withstand the crowd’s focused assault.
He was nearly killed instantly.
A ray of blue light shot out from inside, landing on the heavily injured Knight.
In an instant, the gravely wounded Knight was restored to full health.
Although his injuries were healed, his Armor and the Shield in his hand were still in tatters.
His Defense Power was greatly reduced, but he had at least withstood the first wave of attacks.
He had bought his teammates a sliver of time to break through the encirclement.
Li Wei watched from afar, seeing the blue light repeatedly fall upon the Knight, restoring him to full health each time.
He looked on in astonishment.
’So this is the effect of the Goddess’s Tears?’
It was practically an Undying Body!
The crowd besieging the Knight also realized the problem and turned to find the person who was healing him.
When they looked, they saw that the one healing the Knight wasn’t a Priest or a Mage, but a Berserker!
A healing Berserker!
