In the dimly lit room, there was no sound except for the faint sound of breathing, lingering in the air.
On the bed, Fang Li’s complexion had regained its calmness, and his breathing had become stable. It was not as terrible as before. In this state, Fang Li’s eyelids suddenly twitched and slowly opened.
“Uh…”
Upon waking up, Fang Li felt as if his whole body had entered a state of exhaustion, and he felt extremely weak at this moment.
No, it wasn’t a physical weakness, but rather a spiritual weakness.
This kind of weakness made Fang Li feel like his head had become muddled, and he couldn’t muster any energy in his body.
Then, an indescribable sense of fatigue swept over Fang Li, making him really want to close his eyes and simply fall into a deep sleep.
“So, this is the side effect of using Stigma?” Fang Li couldn’t help but smile wryly as he thought of this.
If it was a physical burden, there would be ways to solve it.
For example, increasing the VIT (Endurance) attribute.
This attribute was related to the body’s ability to withstand, and if it was increased, it would enhance the body’s ability to withstand attacks, resist abnormal statuses, and recover, thereby overall improving one’s personal endurance.
Therefore, when Fang Li used Stigma and doubled all attributes except INT (Mystery), the wound on Fang Li’s abdomen stopped bleeding.
If the burden caused by Stigma was related to the body, Fang Li could gradually extend the duration of Stigma’s use by increasing the VIT (Endurance), and eventually become completely immune to the side effects.
Unfortunately, Stigma was a power deeply embedded in the soul, and the burden it caused was entirely focused on the soul, with little connection to the physical body.
“In that case, even the difficulty of recovering through using item will increase by more than just one rank.”
In the Main God’s Dimension, there were many miraculous items, among which there were naturally recovery-type items.
However, items related to the soul could almost be considered the rarest things, and it was hard to say whether they could be used to recover from Fang Li’s condition.
“In terms of this troublesome side effect, it is worthy of the powerful effect of this skill.”
At least, as an ace skill, Stigma was indeed capable of turning the tide of a fight in critical moments.
For example, in the previous battle against Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), even if Fang Li had eventually comprehended Flashing Scabbard and Flashing Dash, he would never have been able to harm it without Stigma.
“In the end, it’s because I’m too weak.”
‘If I were stronger, I wouldn’t have been pushed to this point.’ Fang Li silently thought to himself.
After all, Fang Li had only experienced one Dungeon World and had just entered the second Dungeon World as the main Divine Envoy.
In the Main God’s Dimension, an existence like Fang Li was undoubtedly at the bottom.
“Fortunately, although this battle was tragic, the gains were not small.”
Although he hadn’t killed Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father), Fang Li had gained insights into Flashing Scabbard and Flashing Dash, successfully delving into the pinnacle of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, an extraordinary assassination technique.
Now, in terms of skill, Fang Li was no longer weaker than Tohno Shiki.
Moreover, with the comprehension of Flashing Scabbard and Flashing Dash, Fang Li also understood his path ahead.
“I need to find a way to learn all the amazing moves in the Nanaya Assassination Technique and completely master this technique.”
After all, at present, Fang Li had only just scratched the surface of the Nanaya Assassination Technique and possessed only the basics. Only when Fang Li learned the numerous amazing moves in the Nanaya Assassination Technique would his fighting style truly take shape.
The complete version of the Nanaya Assassination Technique, combined with the one-hit-kill Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, would be incredibly terrifying to imagine.
Tohno Shiki, having only mastered the basic self-defense techniques, has already used the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to kill countless powerful enemies, including some inhuman and even extremely terrifying beings. If Tohno Shiki were to fully master the Nanaya Assassination Technique, it would be truly terrifying.
As for Fang Li, if he were to fully master the Nanaya Assassination Technique, he would undoubtedly be only stronger than Tohno Shiki, not weaker.
After all, Fang Li is the main Divine Envoy, and besides techniques, he can also enhance his attributes, wear excellent equipment, and level up his skills.
Flashing Scabbard and Flashing Dash, the two skills, are currently only at Rank Lv.1.
Once their rank increases, Fang Li’s Nanaya Assassination Technique will become increasingly terrifying. There is absolutely no reason for it to become weaker.
“It seems that after returning to the Main God’s Dimension, I’ll have to stay in the training ground again.”
Thinking like this, Fang Li then noticed that he wasn’t the only one in the room.
“Hu… hu…”
There, by Fang Li’s bedside, Alisa was lying down, her breathing steady as she fell into a deep sleep.
And in Alisa’s hand, there was a damp handkerchief.
The scent of sweat emanated from the handkerchief, telling Fang Li that it wasn’t water that had dampened it, but sweat.
And who the sweat belonged to was obvious.
“After I passed out, it was this girl who took care of me?”
Fang Li was genuinely surprised at this moment.
Alisa could actually take care of others?
That was truly a miracle.
“Mmm…”
Perhaps sensing that Fang Li was thinking about something impolite, Alisa murmured and gradually opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Alisa saw Fang Li sitting up, looking at her with a smile that seemed both genuine and insincere.
Immediately, Alisa jolted upright, surprised, and exclaimed, “You… you’re awake?”
Seeing Alisa’s shocked and joyful expression, Fang Li was somewhat surprised by her reaction and replied, “Yeah, I just woke up.”
“Is that so?” Alisa said, and shortly afterward, she didn’t know what else to say, falling into silence.
For a moment, an unnatural atmosphere filled the air between Fang Li and Alisa.
Fang Li couldn’t help but scratch his cheek, as if trying to break the silence, and asked, “How long was I unconscious?”
“It’s been a day,” Alisa said softly. “I brought you here yesterday.”
In other words, Alisa had taken care of Fang Li for a full day.
Did this normally cold-hearted girl finally have a hint of cuteness?
Thinking this way, Fang Li asked again, “And what about Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father)?”
“…Escaped,” Alisa’s tone became somewhat complex, and her gaze at Fang Li became uncertain. She then asked, “Were you already unconscious before Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) escaped?”
Otherwise, Fang Li should have been able to see Dyaus Pita (Heavenly Father) retreating.
Could it be that his final declaration was just an empty threat?
