Back to the Future 1999: Raining at the Same Time

Taking out the card again, he found that there was indeed an item added to the column introducing Chen Xi's mystical arts.

[Mystic] Run: Transfers energy into an object, maintaining the connection through a link. Disconnecting the link allows the energy to be released all at once.

Note: Items that have already been run cannot be run again.

After reading the new content about himself, Chen Xi took the card and slammed it on the puppet's head.

"Thank you for your hard work, Arcana."

After putting her safely in his pocket, Chen Xi estimated that the sun was about to set and set out again on the road to the witch doctor's house.

"squeak--"

Fortunately, there were no other patients in the witch doctor's home that evening, just like in the morning. Perhaps it was because the village had already overcome the disease under the witch doctor's protection.

Pushing the door open, Chen Xi saw the expression he had hoped for. Although it wasn't firm, there was at least a glimmer in the witch doctor's eyes.

"You came."

The witch doctor spoke first, but for some reason his eyes were still a little evasive. Chen Xi was not in a hurry either, and quietly waited for the other party to speak again.

"I think I'm ready."

Taking a deep breath, the witch doctor looked at Chen Xi with a determined look in his eyes.

"Uh-huh, great. Let's go then."

"At night, the demons are more numerous and more active. But you need to entertain guests during the day. If someone saw the two of us punching and kicking the air, you would probably be forced to leave the village soon."

The duo, who were not familiar with each other, set off, and Chen Xi joked to ease their tension.

"Sorry for causing you any trouble."

"Hey, let's go with each other."

Seeing that the other party started to be polite, Chen Xi suddenly put his arm around the other party's shoulders very eagerly. Even though the other party looked much older than him, it still did not prevent his tone from being filled with the air of a senior.

However, the witch doctor's body language hinted at rejection, and the two chatted intermittently along the way. Although Chen Xi was mostly doing the talking, the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Before reaching their destination, the two had become quite good friends.

……

"Is this here?"

When the sun finally set, everything lurking in the shadows began to stir. The two of them stepped deeper into the forest, step by step, as if they were stepping into a trap.

"Yes, this is it. The lair of all the demons in this area is right here. If we defeat them, all the demons around here will probably flee."

"During the day, I occasionally come here to capture some lone demons to get medicinal herbs."

Chen Xi protected the witch doctor behind him and looked around vigilantly.

"Then why is it so quiet here now?"

"I...I don't know either. I only came here during the day..."

"!"

A tremendous pressure suddenly enveloped the two. In the darkness, the massive King of Kabangkru opened his eyes. The dark forest, previously a backdrop, was now dotted with countless pairs of eyes. These eyeballs, mostly white and a little black, darted left and right, finally locking onto the two men, their legs trembling slightly within the encirclement.

An icy chill instantly spread from his spine to his whole body, and the fear he felt when he faced the reshaping of his disciples for the first time also hit Chen Xi's heart at this moment.

With a bang, the witch doctor was so scared that he sat down on the ground. He struggled to squeeze out a few broken cries, unable to move.

Chen Xi looked around with a serious expression. This time was different from last time. If he wasn't careful...

will die!

Taking off the dagger from his waist, Chen Xi put the knife into the witch doctor's hands.

"This is... your weapon!?"

"How can you fight without him?"

The witch doctor looked at Chen Xi in the moonlight in astonishment, and gripped the dagger in his hand in disbelief.

"This dagger can protect you when you are in danger. As for me..."

Chen Xi turned around and faced a large group of Kabangkru and the king standing high above them.

"One scabbard is enough to deal with these guys."

He took a deep breath and brought the scabbard close to his lips.

"Anma, shield."

Golden light suddenly burst out in the forest, and the strong light made it difficult to open one's eyes.

Yet, amidst this radiance, only Chen Xi's eyes stood out with exceptional determination. Utilizing both his air control and his power-ups, Chen Xi charged at the nearest demon at breakneck speed. His hands, coated in wind blades, sliced ​​through its body with the smoothness of a vegetable slicer. Without even a shriek, it fell to the ground, lifeless.

While the light of the shield had not yet dissipated, Chen Xi jumped into the air, wrapped the compressed air with shield magic, and shot it into one of the eyes of the King of Kabangkru with a whoosh.

With a loud bang, the roar of King Kabangkru instantly caused the entire forest to become agitated.

“Hiss…Crack…”

The roars of various demons filled Chen Xi's ears.

"what--!"

Witch doctor! The little black cabankru pounced on the helpless man one after another. The witch doctor trembled, raising his dagger and waving it wildly, trying to repel the enemy. However, such childish fighting movements were completely useless. The demon's fangs still quietly probed the witch doctor's neck.

"Sword Dance!"

"You don't need to tell me!"

Powerful air shocks began to spread from the witch doctor's center, instantly destroying all the land around him except the one under his feet.

“Hiss…Crack…!”

More and more Kabunkru gathered around the pit, but fearful, they dared not approach. Invisible wind blades shot out, silently claiming the lives of several of their companions. Their roars grew louder, yet they retreated further and further.

"We need to fight quickly!"

Chen Xi fell to the ground and looked at the increasingly complicated battlefield with a serious expression, and shouted:

"Sword Dance!"

"coming!"

Another massive explosion echoed around the witch doctor, spreading the pit even wider and deeper. Silver blades of light pierced through the Kabangkru herd, harvesting new lives before returning to Chenxi's grasp.

After getting the special weapon, Chen Xi showed a slightly relaxed expression.

But this feeling did not last long. The chaotic light ball had already condensed more than half in the mouth of the King of Kabangkru, and was about to fall head-on in the next moment.

Chen Xi held the knife in front of his chest.

"Wind Blade, maximum power! Let's fight head-on!"

"Roar--"

"what--"

The white and yellow lights were at a stalemate, and both sides of the fight could only pray that their attacks were powerful enough.

"boom!"

The white light suddenly became stronger, neatly cutting through the chaotic light ball and heading straight for the face of the King of Kabangkru.

"what--!"

The shadow of the knife flashed, and a horrifying knife mark instantly appeared on the face of the King of Kabangkru, and blood gushed out.

Chen Xi was half-kneeling and panting at this moment. He only regretted that his weapon was not a cane and could not support his tired body.

"Isn't it too much of a stretch after all? Fully using Wind Blade twice."

His hands were shaking uncontrollably. If he were fighting alone, Chen Xi would never adopt such radical tactics.

"Witch doctor, heal!"

"Yes Yes!"

The light spread, and the grass beneath his feet gently wrapped around Chen Xi's ankles, sending him vital energy. Feeling the power gradually filling his body, Chen Xi clenched his sword and danced, looking at the King of Kabangkru with a sly smile.

As if he had noticed the enemy's abnormal condition, the King of Kabangkru angrily swung his huge claws and attacked Chen Xi.

However, Chen Xi, who was already close to full strength, would not be easily defeated by such a simple move. With the help of Dao Wu and Anma, Chen Xi was now able to perfectly dissolve this fierce attack and easily deflect it.

but……

When fighting in a team, hit the healer first. This is a truth that even wild beasts know.

The black claws continued to move forward fiercely, attacking the witch doctor's position.

"Witch doctor!"

Sensing the danger, Chen Xi jumped decisively, but the grass and trees that had once been his helpers now became his most fatal stumbling blocks. Without a smooth jump, Chen Xi witnessed the witch doctor being pierced through the chest while in mid-air.

Bright red blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. The witch doctor only managed to give Chen Xi a look of horror and disbelief before being tossed aside like trash. Blood trickled from his still-open eyes, his entire distorted face seemingly expressing a single wish: Chen Xi, I don't want to die!

"what--!"

The mournful roar became the battlefield's final melody. Chen Xi's sword dance seemed to grow longer and longer. Golden light continued to shape, condensing the body of the greatsword, and with majestic momentum, it slashed towards the King of Kabangkru...

“Ka…, hiss…”

The sounds of the demons fleeing gradually emerged after the final roar.

Chen Xi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and knelt on one knee beside the witch doctor's cold body. Tears fell drop by drop, but the surging emotions in his eyes could not melt the blood scab that had already solidified under his feet.

Silently, a drop of blood dripped from the corner of Chen Xi's mouth, and as it continued to fall, it gradually turned into gold.

"Boom-"

For some reason, the sound of the drop of blood falling to the ground was particularly clear in Chen Xi's mind.

As if possessed by a ghost, Chen Xi stretched out a hand.

"A Troupe of little vagrants of the world."

The golden light began to light up bit by bit, gradually enveloping the witch doctor's entire body.

Physical strength, mystical energy, and something indescribable began to gradually flow out of Chen Xi's body.

A faint light continued to shine in the forest. Chen Xi closed his eyes, calmly welcoming the collapse of consciousness...
