The Path to Sainthood from Fairy Tail

Xiaobai's two little hands tangled together. Awkwardly, he said, "Actually...actually, this system is worried that the host might be in danger, so it helped the host exchange for a life-saving item."

"Hmm? Wait, why are you able to use my merits without me? And you said your system is fine?"

[According to Article 20 of Chapter 3 of the "Merit-to-Saint System Usage Rules," when the host encounters a fatal danger, the system has the responsibility and obligation to make an effort to save the host. Of course, under this rule, this includes but is not limited to bypassing the host and consuming the host's merit!]

Xiaobai spoke with full confidence, as if he had already regretted it just now and that emotion had completely dissipated.

Li Xuan had no choice but to ask helplessly: "How much merit did you use? Does it affect the speed of time in the Fairy Tail world?"

[No, the situation was urgent at the time, and we could only call upon the host's unused merits. The flow of time in the Fairy Tail world is still under control, so the host does not need to worry about this! ]

"That's not bad. By the way, can I return the items I exchanged?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaobai pulled out a calculator and pressed a few buttons before showing it to Li Xuan. "Of course, but this system requires a depreciation fee for recycling items, so only half of the merit will be returned. What do you think, host?"

"Not so good! What exactly did you replace? Let me see. As for recycling, I will never let you, a profiteer like me, recycle my money even if I die!"

Xiaobai said disappointedly: [That's a shame. Considering the host's current situation, this system has specially exchanged "Endless Energy" for the host.]

"Is that the infinite amount of 'endless energy'?"

[The host's understanding may be somewhat incorrect. While it's true that the host can redeem an unlimited amount of "endless energy" from the system, this isn't its true nature. Its primary function is to deplete its own energy to protect the host from fatal damage, preventing their death.]

"Sounds awesome."

[Actually, the host isn't at a disadvantage. Besides its life-saving function, this item also allows the host to actively store their own strength. It can absorb energy almost unlimitedly, and when the host needs it, it can act as a power bank, quickly replenishing the host's consumed energy!]

After listening to Xiaobai's description, Li Xuan's eyes lit up. If this was true, then exchanging this "endless energy" would not be a loss.

So, Li Xuan decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

"We'll talk about 'Endless Energy' later. First, tell me what's going on right now!"

[Currently, in the outside world, a mechanic is facing off against the fire demon, with no clear winner. Then, a necromancer is healing the host and the people the host has saved.]

"Can I wake up now?"

[Host, you should get some rest. You're here because you took some potions and have strong mental strength. Otherwise, with such a serious injury, your consciousness would be in a deep sleep, unable to stay awake. Once the battle outside is over, you'll probably be awake soon.]

"I see... Oh right, let's take out the knowledge I previously entered into the system. I can't waste this time. I finally have some free time, so let me study this knowledge properly."

【no problem! 】

Xiaobai snapped his fingers, and the knowledge previously recorded appeared around Li Xuan for him to learn.

……

In the battlefield.

After completing the treatment, Li Chi touched the sweat on his head. Under his treatment, the injuries of the two had stabilized. As long as they rested for a while, they would be able to fully recover without damaging their foundation.

Cade in the air yelled to the ground, "Hey! Are you ready? I can't hold on any longer!"

Li Chi responded impatiently: "Aren't you very powerful? You can't do it in just a short while? Keep waiting!"

"Fuck, when this is over I will make you taste my power!" Cade cursed, then concentrated on fighting the fire demon.

Li Chi did not respond to Cade, but raised his staff and muttered something.

Although the Fire Demon could easily deal with Cade's attack, he was unable to distract himself to deal with Li Chi and others below.

After all, Cade's laser cannons were like they were free, shooting at the flesh and blood altar at all kinds of tricky angles. He had to concentrate all his attention to be able to block them all, otherwise, if he was not careful, he would lose everything.

A circle of skeletons crawled out from the side of the altar of flesh and blood. These skeletons were nothing but bones, without a single piece of equipment.

After seeing this, the Fire Demon couldn't help but laugh wildly: "Hahaha, are you trying to make me laugh to death? You actually want to destroy the altar with these skeleton soldiers? You're just dreaming!"

After saying that, he took advantage of the gap in Cade's attack and launched a fire attack on the skeleton soldiers near the altar.

Although these skeletons seemed to have no fighting power, it would be impossible to dismantle the Flesh and Blood Altar within a day even if they were asked to do so. However, he would not let go of any existence that might affect the Flesh and Blood Altar.

After seeing the fire demon attack, Li Chi finally smiled with relief.

"it's all over!"

As the flames of the fire demon touched the skeleton, the originally harmless skeleton suddenly seemed to be on fire, the bones turned red, and the whole body continued to expand.

After releasing his attack, the Fire Demon once again focused on fending off Cade's attacks.

He didn't think that weak skeleton could withstand his attack, until—

The energy changes caused by the expansion of the skull attracted the attention of the fire demon, and soon he saw a scene that made him regret for the rest of his life.

The skeletons surrounding the altar of flesh and blood were closely connected to each other, and an explosion was imminent. The terrifying power blew the entire altar of flesh and blood several meters away.

After the smoke cleared, only a hole remained where the altar had been.

"Do not!!!"

The Fire Demon's face was filled with terror. He stared at Cade intently, "It was you, all of you! You left me a second of slack at the very beginning, letting me down. Cunning human, fall into the abyss with me!"

Cade heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing the crazy Fire Demon.

He pointed to the sky and said casually, "Before that, why don't we make a wish on a shooting star? I hope we all survive, except you!"

"It's ridiculous. When you humans are about to die, you always like to pin your lives on something illusory!"

Cade shook his head. "This isn't some imaginary thing. He's our teacher!"

"what!"

The fire demon turned his head suddenly and found that there was indeed an object shaped like a meteor across the sky, but it was coming towards him.

As the "meteor" approached, a magnificent voice rang out: "Thunder Martial Style·Secret Skill·Thunder God's Bright Flash!"

A flash of yellow light disappeared, and the Thunder Dragon landed steadily on the ground at lightning speed.

After being hit by the ultimate skill, the energy in the fire demon in the air was released, and his body without his left arm instantly fell to the ground.
