Chapter 632 She's My Concern Now

Laia had been watching John’s battle with increasing worry, as his figure had started to look incredibly miserable. However, she followed his command and didn’t aid until he asked for it. Now that his command had come, Laia’s expression of worry was replaced with one of calm and determination, as if she had instantly become a different person.

She closed her eyes for a singular moment, while her aura began to climb. Her eyes snapped open, and her two hands clasped together before her chest, as if she were praying. A vibrant green energy radiated from her body and flowed towards John, reaching him in an instant. The two became linked by her power despite the distance between them.

John felt a strong vibrant energy flood into his body, attempting to heal the damage within. The vibrant energy washed over his open wounds and charred flesh, but even after a short while nothing seemed to change. The damage was not being healed at all, which was something both John and quickly Laia noticed.

Her eyes widened slightly as she realized this, as she had not been expecting such a muted reaction to her powers. She quickly realized that John’s body was more profound than anything she had encountered before, and required far more healing energy to heal a single wound than she thought possible. At the same time, the damage from the tribulation lightning was also beyond anything she had encountered before, as the lingering destructive properties resisted her healing.

However, instead of worry appearing on her face, Laia’s face became even more relaxed as she no longer held back. She closed her eyes once more as she focused her full power inwards..

A brief moment later, a green light slowly illuminated on her forehead, the light quickly forming the rune for the Dao of Life. Her body began to glow a vibrant green, while her figure seemed to become almost ethereal, as if she had turned into an angelic spirit of life, her beauty beyond compare.

Her aura climbed to incredible levels, while the healing energy radiating from her and into John increased exponentially in both profundity and quantity. John couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise as he felt the extraordinary energy course through his body.

The wounds on his exterior started to heal at a visible rate, while his damaged internals as well as soul also healed beyond anything he had experienced before. He felt his combat state increase greatly as his wounds healed, and he once more returned to his peak combat state as if he had not battled at all yet.

Laia’s vibrant energy flooding into his soul seemed to link their souls together, almost like the link he had with Kirii. While it was clearly only temporary, it still allowed John to get a glimpse of her thoughts and feelings, as well as her feeling his own thoughts and emotions.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The battle continued between John and the lightning warrior, the intensity far greater than before as John put up an even greater fight against it thanks to his healed state. Each attack from the lightning warrior would open another wound, but that wound would be healed almost immediately as if it never existed.

‘Were I on my own, I would have to use my Asura Transformation already or I would no doubt be defeated. But thanks to Laia, I’m able to conserve my strength until the end, all while whittling away this lightning warrior. Even my soul is becoming refreshed and at ease as her powers wipe away the lingering soul damage…amazing.’

John had expected Laia’s power to be helpful, but never expected it to be this amazing. His body felt as if he had unlimited vibrancy, which was something he had never felt before. His wounds were healed down to the cellular level as each and every injury was washed away from his body. His eyes widened as he felt something beyond amazing happen within, but his distracted thoughts quickly shifted back to his opponent as it unleashed another attack at him.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The battle between the two continued, with the lightning warrior winning out on each exchange despite John’s improved condition.

Advent of Annihilation!

John started to unleash his most powerful axe battle art, as his opponent was beyond monstrous, and by far the most powerful opponent he had ever fought. Golden axe images slashed through the sky, colliding against beams of lighting unleashed by the lightning warrior.

Without his Asura Transformation, he was no doubt weaker than the lightning warrior, but each attack from the lightning warrior used up a portion of its limited reserves, while John state was constantly replenished by Laia. If this were to go on forever, the lightning warrior would run out of energy before it could defeat John.

The tribulation lightning warrior paused for the briefest of moments, as if stunned by what was happening. The clouds above boomed and rumbled in rage as it observed what was going on, and the lightning warrior suddenly turned towards Laia and thrust out its lance towards her below.

A beam of incredibly powerful lightning pierced towards her, as the Heaven’s sought to eliminate the one interfering with its battle. John’s figure flashed and appeared before the lightning beam, and he instantly unleashed another Advent of Annihilation.

Battle art and lightning beam collided once more, bathing the sky above and land below in their calamitous power. The explosion eventually faded away, revealing John standing firmly between Laia and the lightning warrior.

His gaze shifted from the lightning warrior to the heavenly eyes above, which stared down at him while the clouds rumbled with obvious rage. A cold and murderous look appeared on John’s face as he pointed his battle axe towards the heavenly eyes above.

“Fuck off!” John yelled, his rage ignited.

“In your infinite stupidity, you have already shunned Laia and branded her as a traitor,” John said to the Heavens above, his voice tinged with murderous iciness. “Since you threw her aside so carelessly, she’s my concern now. You can forget about your powers ever reaching her again.”
