Chapter 321: Experiment

That thing could revive itself!

Xiao Lin was very unsettled, but he did not hesitate. It seemed like the monster needed some time to revive itself, and the parts that were turned to mush could not be regrown, so the monster was using some method to just grow out new flesh from its wounds, but the process was not quick.

Xiao Lin had already rushed to the front, sending waves of his sword aura over, and turning the flesh that had just recovered back into mush. Lilith, who followed behind, was also very surprised, but quickly joined the attacks.

The recovering monster did not have any way to fight back, but it was still aware enough to try to get away. It was extremely slow, and under their mutual assault, its whole body quickly turned to sludge.

However, before Xiao Lin could even gather his breath, the mush on the ground once again moved, and even the tiniest pieces of flesh started to merge, just like earlier. The pieces of flesh would connect to its body, and the mush started to condense, forming a new shape.

“This... What is this!” Even Lilith was filled with shock.

“Unlimited resurrection? No, that’s impossible!” Xiao Lin furrowed his eyebrows, once again slashing with his Holy Soul Sword. Lilith did not even need to move; he had already turned the creature back to mush.

However, the creature’s pieces of flesh seemed like they were alive, and once again started to resurrect. Xiao Lin seemed to have noticed something, and suddenly told Lilith, “Let’s use our flames to attack!”

Lilith nodded, immediately waving her scythe around, summoning rings of flame as Xiao Lin raised his sword to gather the fire elements in the air. In a place so dense with death energy, the elemental energies were a lot more scarce, and even spellcasting was affected. Gathering the energy took a lot more time, and even Lilith’s Flame Sword Aura needed a moment, but it was not an issue facing those pieces of flesh.

The elemental damage caused the flesh to slowly be burnt, giving rise to an even fouler smell. Xiao Lin and Lilith could not help but pinch their noses, forcing the urge to vomit down as they stared at the flesh. Since the monster could keep reviving, then they could just burn it all away!

The effect was a lot better than earlier. As the fire slowly died down, the remaining rotting flesh might have been smaller than earlier, but it still started to move again.

“Can this bastard really resurrect without a limit?” Lilith was also speechless. The strength of the enemy did not interest her, but its survivability was staggering.

Lilith’s words caused Xiao Lin to startle. “Resurrecting without limit? Don’t you think that’s a little familiar?”

Lilith thought for a while, and said in disbelief, “Are you referring to the Law of Immortality? What sort of joke is this. Even if I’ve never died before, if our resurrection spell is similar to this, then I’d rather die.”

“That’s right. Our Law of Immortality resurrects us using our soul and reforms our flesh, so the base property is different, but don’t forget we’re very different from this monster, in that we’re live humans, and its an undead creature.” Xiao Lin breathed in, continuing, “Did you forget that resurrection tower? The black one!”

Lilith’s expression started to change. As brave as she was, she still understood that resurrection towers were the basis for their continued existence in this world.

Xiao Lin’s theory was based on Asabanor, and even the resurrection tower that the elves stole a hundred years ago, but the thought itself was extremely shocking, so he could only postulate and not confirm anything. That was no longer something he could handle. He could only wait for help from the academy.

“Let’s first think about how we can kill this monster.”

“If it’s as you say and the black resurrection tower is the reason the monster can keep resurrecting, then why don’t we destroy the tower?” Lilith was beginning to be more confident in Xiao Lin’s theory.

Xiao Lin shook his head. “No, that tower needs to be looked at by the academy. This is no small issue... Our own resurrection is not actually unlimited, and it’s tied to our lifespan. If this monster’s resurrection follows the same principles, then it could never actually have unlimited resurrection, or Asabanor could just take over the whole world.”

In all these years, the humans from Earth had started to strengthen themselves with the help of the Law of Immortality, but the academies had all stopped expanding after a certain degree, which led them to their current state. It was not that no one wanted to expand, but limited lifespans and Lifewater restricted their movement. After all, everyone wanted to have some lifespan left to enjoy their achievements.

“This monster has a lifespan?” Lilith said suspiciously.

“Ah, I don’t know. I’m just guessing.”

“...”

“Ahem, let’s just try it out. Let’s see how much this thing can take!”

So Lilith once again started her assault, while Xiao Lin stood at the side to record how many attacks had happened, the speed of which the flesh would move after, and other data. As for why Xiao Lin was in charge of such an annoying task, it was because Lilith felt like he was not strong enough, and there was no point for the two of them to work together for this.

It was fine; Xiao Lin was a little unhappy, but he could not deny that he was not as strong as Lilith. He decided to just conserve his strength, and Lilith did not seem to be at all interested in recording information anyway.

After that, they started to perform various experiments. Under Xiao Lin’s urging, Lilith even took out a few different weapons to try. It was a pity they only had fire elemental attacks, or they could have tested the effects of other elements.

Just as Xiao Lin guessed, the monster could not resurrect perpetually. Every time it was cut down the flesh’s movement would get slowly, signifying the loss of lifespan.

It took a total of 21 assaults before the flesh stopped moving. It rapidly turned black and turned to dust in the air.

“It’s finally done.” Lilith was a little tired, but the main thing was that she was extremely bored.
