Hello, Arknights

"Master, please be careful. This power is only an amplification after all. The final strength is still related to your original strength. It is also time-limited. After it ends, you will experience varying degrees of weakness depending on your condition. Next, I wish you all the best!" Xiaoxie giggled, making Ling Dengxian feel extremely uncomfortable.

He was overcome by a sense of disharmony.

"Don't pay such a price to make up for an irreparable mistake." Saria was still standing there, but Ling Dengxian now felt a lot less pressure.

Saria understood that there must be a reason why things were abnormal, and it was obvious that Ling Dengxian must have paid a considerable price to make her feel threatened.

“If one day, you find someone close to you on the brink of death because of a written code, please don’t forget my roar today.” Ling Dengxian would be a fool if he didn’t understand what happened to A’ran.

She was extremely cautious about everything, she kept silent about the past, and sometimes she would mutter to herself a little bit... Ling Dengxian had all these memories, and at this moment, this information gave him an answer.

Experiment, the Scepter and the Project Scepter... a failure.

Ling Dengxian took action first. Saria was not wrong. She just wanted to protect the safety of all the people in the city. A'ran was not wrong either. This was not what she wanted. So he could not put Saria in an unjust position. He could only take action first and be an "unjust" person.

Saria's expression froze, and she punched out suddenly to take Ling Dengxian's swift attack. Both parties were surprised by each other's strength. Saria did not expect the opponent's strength to increase so much, and Ling Dengxian did not expect Saria to hold back!

Yes, Saria never wanted to take his life, until this moment she faced him with the same attitude as she treated the runaway A'ran.

"Clang!" Both sides shook each other. Ling Dengxian felt the force point was empty and was hit by a punch on his right shoulder. His arm would have been dislocated for sure, but his enhanced physical fitness helped him to withstand it. He immediately kicked back at Waifan and tried to kick him back. However, Saria just shook her body, raised her hand and punched Ling Dengxian away again.

Never take a step back!

"Damn it!" How can I make her retreat from the front?

Ling Dengxian landed steadily, and charged again the next moment. The city-breaking spear flashed with a dark blue light. Saria raised her hand to grab the tip of the spear and pulled it upwards to release the force. Ling Dengxian's eyes flashed and he pressed hard. The city-breaking spear glowed with a dark blue light. Saria felt the power in her hand suddenly increase. Her expression changed slightly, and she turned her wrist, changing her grip to block, thus resisting this change.

This is the attack method of the city-breaking spear that Ling Dengxian has newly discovered. It uses part of the stored energy as kinetic energy and completes a secondary charge in battle. It is an explosive module. Under normal circumstances, he probably wouldn't be able to discover this function, because even Fengdi didn't know there was such a module. The reason for the discovery is that not only his physical fitness was amplified, but his mental strength and detection ability were also greatly enhanced. In this state, he naturally discovered the mystery of this city-breaking spear.

However, Saria still easily resolved his attack. Ling Dengxian dodged and wanted to rush forward again, but a figure acted before him. The next moment, the white Vaifan and the white "Devil" collided violently!

Of course, Saria would not just stand there and take a beating. Ling Dengxian once again realized that her terrifying strength was not only due to her unshakable defense and her fists as strong as a city.

Swift against swift!

Strength hits strength!

The two figures kept colliding, enamel fragments and drops of flying red blood were thrown down, and the strong wind left traces on the ground beneath their feet. Every step the two took during the fight left cracks on the cold and hard ground.

Ling Dengxian naturally couldn't stop, and Saria had no reason to give in. With a loud noise like the dawn, the shock wave caused by the huge force dug up several meters of soil and roared and rolled towards the still white land in the distance.

The dust fell and the young man almost lost his balance. White flames swarmed over him, and the large wounds gradually stopped bleeding and healed under the movement of the flames. He tried to swallow the pain, but the severe pain from his bones told him the result of the fight.

Looking up, he saw that the gray-white hand of Vaifan was trembling slightly, and the enamel was breaking and peeling off piece by piece, and then reappearing with the caster's breathing.

Shockingly, she had a scar on her lower abdomen that was still bleeding. Although the wound was quickly covered with enamel, it was not a healing but just an emergency treatment.

Ling Dengxian put down the city-breaking spear. If Fiona was here, he would really like to say sorry. In the last confrontation, the weapon could not withstand the huge force and broke into two pieces at this moment, falling beside him and splashing blue fragments.

"...After all...it's only an enhancement based on the original physical fitness." Ling Dengxian began to feel the decline of his mental strength, and pain spread throughout his body.

"Stop." Saria glanced at A'ran, whose condition was quite bad, and the abnormal changes he caused were about to affect the two of them.

"You can't save her... I can't save her either. No one can save her." Saria saw that the healing speed of his wounds began to slow down. He tried his best.

"...Bai Yan, Bai Chi Yan can save A'ran!" Ling Dengxian rushed forward again, but Waifan raised her hand and stopped him with one palm. Ling Dengxian was suppressed by her and could not break free from this not-so-strong hand.

"Yes, we have observed that the abnormal fluctuations of Ah Ran are greatly reduced when she is with you. You...or your White Flame can effectively suppress the power in her body."

"Then you..." Ling Dengxian stopped talking, hoping that Saria could give an explanation. In the battle just now, she seemed to deliberately prevent him from contacting A'ran.

And before that she had not acted as if she wanted A'ran to die, and he could see Saria's integrity.

A black light flashed, and Vayfan hugged him and turned around, blocking the movement with his other hand. His eyes moved: "Not good, can you still use your ability now?"

"What's wrong--"

Before he finished speaking, the space in front of the two men seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and a large amount of black and purple light and flames roared out, pointing directly at the two men.

"Get up!" Saria shouted softly, and a thick calcified barrier suddenly rose in front of the two of them, forcibly withstanding this round of attack.

"Immediately! Weaken her!" Ling Dengxian took a look at A'ran's condition and understood the seriousness of the matter. So he used up all his mental and physical strength that he had reserved to create a contrast with Saria, and with the remaining strength he released more than ten gushing white flames towards A'ran.

The reason why Ling Dengxian dared to do this was because he believed that his 37.5-degree white flame would not hurt A'ran. He knew it would burn her, but pain is pain and harm is harm.

However, what he didn't expect was that the black light wandering around A'ran began to disintegrate the moment it came into contact with the white flame, and A'ran suddenly let out a scream.

Ling Dengxian finally saw her situation clearly. Before this, he had not been able to see A'ran's figure clearly because of the black light and fire and Saria's obstruction.

"Her, her hand..."

"That's the erosion of the Ore Disease, and it's an abnormal phenomenon. With that level of Originium infection, a normal person would have died long ago."

A'ran's body was indeed not injured by the flames, but her condition still made Ling Dengxian feel something was wrong.

"... Ling Dengxian, please cooperate with me, I will tell you the truth."
