Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Even a God can't stop me!
Eren remained silent, lost in his own thoughts. He felt as if he had a few puzzle pieces but the entire puzzle was too large to be solved with just the few pieces that he had.
What was the system that Ye Liang had? Was it actually a gift from heaven to the Main Character? In that case, why didn't it know about his system when setting the quest for him?
If Ye Liang's system was the gift from heaven then what was his system which even the Main Character's system didn't notice when creating quests.
'The author... Just what did he do?' he thought, looking at the ceiling in silence.
....
Ye Liang came out of the water after spending a few more minutes in the peaceful silence alone with his own thoughts.
He picked up a towel and started drying his body and hair as water droplets fell on the freezing floor. After drying his hair, he wore his clothes and returned to the main hall.
In the middle of the hall, there was a table set near the window, giving a view of the snowfall scenery outside
Next to the table, there was a chair. He walked over to the table and sat on the chair next to the glass window.
In the middle of the table, there was tea that had already gone cold. However, he didn't mind. He wanted the cold tea to practice his skill more.
"Just a little longer and I would be able to leave this hell," he mumbled under his breath as he picked up the cup, bringing it to his lips.
His lips touched the cold exterior of the cup while the cold tea poured down his throat, giving a soothing sensation to his throat.
With a few sips, Ye Liang completely emptied the cup and placed it back. The corner of his lips curved to form a pleased smile.
"The Main Scenario Reward... I really look forward to it."
Although there were a few hiccups in his completion of the previous quests, he could feet everything returning to place.
"Hmm?"
Ye Liang was in the best mood when his smile suddenly disappeared. He felt his throat suddenly dry up even though he had just finished drinking something.
The circulation of his Qi also came to a sudden stop. His body was starting to reject his Qi, making him unable to use it at all.
He couldn't even use the skill taught by Li Yunfeng. Without it, he was again able to feel how cold his surroundings were, especially after a cold shower.
He tried to stand up to get away from the window, only to realize that his legs refused to move. He fell on the ground with a thud, his body refusing to listen to him.
"Poison!" His expressions turned dark as he realized what had happened. He was even more clear as this was a poison he had used once before.
He used that poison on Eren and the envoy of the Holy Empire. Both of them were strong, so they were able to recover quickly. But for him, that wasn't the case.
As long as the Poison was in his body, he couldn't use any skills.
He also couldn't move his body properly. It felt as if he was heavily drunk, trying to move his left hand, only to move his right hand's finger instead. His body had lost coordination with his mind.
He quickly thought of something, fear starting to rise in his heart. For the same poison to be used on him, only one person came to his mind.
"E-Elder Ren! Are you trying to kill a disciple?" he asked.
Although he couldn't use his Qi, he still had the item that his master had rewarded him to contact him when his life was in danger.
The item was connected to his consciousness so it could be used without any essence.
As long as he desired it, he could contact his master. And in case he passed out, the item could activate on its own, letting his master know his location.
"He will not respond," a voice came as the sound of footsteps resounded in the hall. "As good as that item is, it can't connect to the afterlife."
"What are you trying to say?!" Ye Liang's lips twitched as he raised his head, struggling to stand up.
He barely managed to stand up, only to fall back again,his back slamming against the wall.
He ended up in the sitting position with his back against the fall, being able to see the person who had walked inside.
"I think you are wise enough to know what I mean. Isn't that right?" Eren approached Ye Liang, going down on one knee to look straight into his eyes.
"Impossible. How can you kill him? I just met him!"
Ye Liang refused to believe it. How could an elder be killed with such ease? If two elders fought, the commotion should have been large enough to alert the entire mountain and maybe even the entire sect.
"Is there a reason for me to lie to someone who's about to die?" Eren asked.
"I-i don't know why you are doing it. We have no enmity. I even apologized to you for my last mistake. Don't kill me!"
Ye Liang didn't know if he could believe Eren, but it was true that there was no reason for him to lie about it. He also hadn't received any response from his master.
"It's funny. You tell me to not kill you, but I still don't see any fear in your eyes." Eren smiled. "Is it because of that system and the last life saving measure that you had been saving?"
"You!" For the first time, Ye Liang's face grew pale. How did this person know about his system and even the treasure he had been saving?
He didn't have time to think about anything. For now, all his senses were telling him to run away!
'Use it!' he commanded his system without hesitation. 'Take me away!'
[Activating]
Notification appeared in front of Ye Liang which finally brought a smile to his face.
"So what if you know? You think you can stop me?" he asked Eren, his tone filled with arrogance. "Even a god can't kill me here! Just wait until I return for your head!"
[Error... Restriction detected...]
[Activation has been forcefully blocked]
"Huh? What?" All his arrogance suddenly disappeared when new sets of notifications appeared before him.
