Millennium Tension

Chapter 93: Predicament

Aizen's sudden warning brings them back from their dumbfoundedness and without thinking too much they immediately drift away from their current positions.

Unfortunately, the calamity that was already eyeing them was inevitable and so sudden. The ground right below them crumbled and the head of a smaller snake immediately came out of it.

"Eh?" Xun Ai is stunned as she dodges due to Aizen's warning, but she feels her stomach is severely injured so suddenly.

"Ahh!" She screamed in pain when she realized that her body was limp and fell helplessly with the blood that continued to flow.

"Xun Ai!" All of them who had just dodged and survived one of the shock attacks screamed hysterically.

Su Xia who was the most familiar with Xun Ai without hesitation returned to the fallen sister. But when she got closer to her sister without thinking about her safety, the heads of other snakes started shooting off the ground.

"Get out of my way! Ahh!"

Su Xia channeled her spirit power and released the ice power from her feet while kicking the heads of snakes that appeared rapidly from the ground. Unfortunately, her strength was not comparable to that of the snakes, and her leg ended up being bitten.

The other four girls were still trying to avoid the swift attacks of the many snakes that appeared from the ground and had not been able to help Su Xia or Xun Ai even though they realized they were in a precarious state.

"Stay!"

Aizen darted beside Xun Ai who was lying covered in blood on the ground then thrust four energy pegs into the ground and immediately activated the four pegs to repel all the snake monsters attacking from any direction.

*Swoosh!*

The shockwave energy condensed and prevented the snake monsters from approaching.

Next, he controlled his energy to manipulate gravity and pulled Su Xia who was about to fall in the crowd of snake monsters with a wound on her leg into the four energy peg protection zone.

"You're safe! Pull yourself together for a moment, I still have to save your four sisters." Aizen spoke rapidly as he pulled Lin Yu, Feng Zhi, Shen Xiu, and Xiao Ru who were still struggling to avoid the snake monster.

Su Xia, who was still in pain, swallowed her hard and nodded. Her legs started turning blue as a result of the snake bite earlier. She turned her gaze to Xun Ai who was lying on the ground helplessly.

"Sister Xun Ai. Pull yourself together for a moment, please don't close your eyes. Aizen has already protected us. We'll be fine." Su Xia crawled towards Xun Ai while trying to make her sister not give up on the situation.

Aizen manages to pull the other four girls into the protection zone and he immediately activates the absolute energy barrier. All the invading monsters were trapped in the outer zone of the shield with no way to penetrate it.

'Ana! Axel! Perform mass destruction. Ignore us. We're safe here. '

Aizen gives orders to Ana and Axel. The two of them were still floating in the air while dodging and attacking the monsters that had attacked them.

The monster that originally had only twelve pairs of heads had turned into thousands and even tens of thousands of pairs of smaller heads that began to invade from all sides. None of them knew the true form of this monster but one thing was certain, all the pairs of heads of this snake monster were a unity of one being.

'Roger!' Ana and Axel respond and prepare for their mass attack.

Ana released more the laser beams to hover around her body and she started firing indiscriminately at the ground and snakes continued to streak her way.

Meanwhile, Axel prepared several heavy attacks from the [Axel Goddess] to destroy a much wider area. The enemy at this time was quite troublesome and a bit tricky.

Aizen ignored the commotion caused by the explosion beyond the absolute energy shield of the four pegs he had planted and was about to examine the two victims.

"Mother, Xun Ai will soon follow you to heaven. Your daughter..." Xun Ai muttered softly and couldn't finish her sentence again with her body slowly starting to turn blue and pale.

"Xun Ai doesn't die, please. Drink this elixir, it will heal your wounds..." Lin Yu tearfully gave an Earth Grade healing elixir to Xun Ai's mouth, but Xun Ai did not have the strength to swallow it and let it flow out of her mouth.

"Why is The Citrine Dewdrop Ring not working... Come on..." Realizing that the elixir could not heal Xun Ai, Lin Yu tried with the life-saving treasure she got from the auction house but it didn't work either.

"Let me handle this."

Aizen did not linger for long and immediately took control of various parts of Xun Ai's body structure and stopped the bleeding when he touched the wound on her stomach while scorching the poison in her body.

Then he channeled his energy and made it nourish Xun Ai's vital parts to regenerate and support her life. Xun Ai's pale face started to turn rosy and the heavy injuries she was suffering from began to slowly heal.

"Lin Yu, now you can use that elixir. Your Life-saving treasure was useless before, even The Citrine Dewdrop Ring won't help because of the poison in her body."

Aizen stopped there and turned to check on Su Xia, who was being helped by Feng Zhi and her two junior sisters.

Lin Yu, who heard the order, immediately nodded and continued to heal Xun Ai with her life-saving elixir that Xun Ai couldn't swallow earlier.

Feng Zhi and the two girls immediately tied up Su Xia's legs so that the poison would not spread to other parts of her body after Feng Zhi failed to heal Su Xia with her life-saving treasures in various ways.

"Aizen, please save Su Xia. The elixir and healing pills don't work on her." Feng Zhi felt depressed and heavy in a state that immediately turned for the worst according to Aizen's warning.

"Sure." Aizen still on his serious face touched Su Xia's injured leg and he did the same as he had done with Xun Ai. He repaired her damaged cells while scorching the poison and healing her wounds.

"Now you're fine. Keep lying down and let your body recover. Feng Zhi, now you can use your elixir or pill for Su Xia to recover her energy." Aizen nodded gently at the young girl who had been enduring pain silently.

Su Xia just nodded limply with a gaze full of gratitude to the man she admired, not only did Aizen save herself but also saved her sister from death's door.

Feeling that Su Xia is currently fine and has only run out of spirit energy, Aizen returns to Xun Ai's side to recheck her body.

Meanwhile, Feng Zhi immediately carried out the task he was told to do. She gave a Spirit Grade Pill to restore Su Xia's spirit power.

"How do you feel now?" Aizen asked Xun Ai who was able to open her eyes again with life.

"I feel fine but just a little weak. Thank you for helping me, I..."

Xun Ai is unable to finish her sentence because Aizen interrupts her. "Hush, don't talk too much. Your wound was quite heavy earlier. Since you were fine, that's good."

Aizen rechecked her completely healed body. The [Axel Energy] that he had left in Xun Ai's body worked quickly to regenerate the damaged parts and now that energy had run out and disappeared in her body.

Xun Ai nodded limply with an expression similar to Su Xia's just a moment ago. The man she respects and admires is indeed a great and extraordinary person.

"Lin Yu, give Xun Ai your elixir or pill to restore her energy." Aizen turned his face to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu was not negligent and immediately gave Xun Ai an energy recovery pill. Xun Ai was able to swallow the pill and slowly recovered her spirit power.

Aizen let out a sigh of relief after seeing that all was well. The snake's bite and venom were a bit troublesome, not only damaging the body's tissues and cells but also eating away all their spiritual energy.

After that, he turned his gaze to the battlefield that was still happening beyond the energy barrier.
