Elite Mages' Academy

Chapter 331: A Suppressed Rampage

The battle was still ongoing, and although the other side still had a dozen people standing and therefore possessed a numerical advantage, they did not dare to draw the ire of the powerful Xiao Lin. In all likelihood, Xiao Lin’s act of killing the other two were simply too decisive. Instead, they shifted their target to Lilith, who seemed to be less powerful than Xiao Lin was.

Lilith looked at the closed-eyed Xiao Lin and subconsciously frowned. When she turned her head again, she shot the people around her a petulant look. “Are you planning to come at me from all sides? Who gave you that kind of confidence!”

Xiao Lin, who remained in a state of confusion, suddenly felt that a hotter, more intense energy bursting out near him. He could not look over with his eyes, but he did not need to think to know that there was only one cause—Lilith had significantly increased her own combat strength.

He felt slightly touched that Lilith would protect him from being disturbed, but at the same time, Xiao Lin was once again in awe of her combat power. In fact, it was entirely possible that she did not exert much strength in the beginning.

Xiao Lin’s state was rather strange. The negative emotions in his body, which resembled anger, had not been completely vented, but it had unexpectedly turned calm. In simple terms, a balanced circulatory system had formed all over him.

The surrounding elements and death energy circulated between his own body, the mysterious black hole in the meditation world, and the stationary undead swordsman. With each cycle, the irritable energy would calm itself down.

After the end of about a dozen cycles, Xiao Lin was fully able to independently control the consciousness of his own body and mind. He slowly opened his eyes once more and found himself covered with sweat, as if he was a fish out of water.

“You’re finally awake?” Lilith’s crisp voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Xiao Lin turned his head to speak, but saw the glow of her black scythe barely a few centimeters away from his face. He quickly stepped back, glanced at the ready-to-go Lilith, and waved his hand with a bitter smile. “Whoa there, let’s have a nice, calm talk. You gotta put that away first.”

Lilith had keen observation. Although she did not know what happened to Xiao Lin, she still sensed danger from the unusual chaotic energy earlier. If Xiao Lin did not answer in time, he was certain that the woman would not hesitate to swing down her scythe and send him back to the resurrection tower.

“You’re fine now?” Lilith looked disappointed, for she felt that it was such a pity she could not do battle with Xiao Lin.

That battle-loving maniac!

Xiao Lin wiped the sweat off his forehead. On that occasion, he sweated out of fear for Lilith, but he stopped after taking only a few steps back. He looked at his hands strangely and frowned slightly. A brief moment of thought later, he asked, “How long have I been like this?”

“Three or five minutes,” Lilith said before shrugging her shoulders. “Don’t panic, I’ve handled all those idiots.”

“Did you kill them all?” Xiao Lin was startled.

“Don’t worry, I know to keep someone alive for questioning,” Lilith remarked impatiently. Compared with those mediocre guys, she seemed to be more interested in Xiao Lin at that moment. Her blue eyes kept looking closely at Xiao Lin, making the latter’s hair stand on end.

The brief rampaging state earlier felt almost as long as a century, but in fact, it only lasted a few minutes. At that moment, the sweat all over his body had been blown by the cool breeze, and he felt a coolness coming all over him. He turned around and saw three disarmed individuals curling up after falling on the ground not far away. They were trembling all over, and their eyes seemed hazy and powerless. Blood stains covered their bodies and they were probably able to survive because Lilith had not been too ruthless.

More than a dozen opponents were originally present, but Xiao Lin killed only two and left behind quite a few others. His gaze shifted again, only to see a pool of charcoal-like bones that were completely scorched. Other than that, he did not even see any normal-looking corpses.

Xiao Lin glanced silently at Lilith and once again marveled at her. He knew that it was impossible for those people to handle Lilith, but he never expected Lilith to end the battle so cleanly in five minutes.

“I see you scared them all off!” Xiao Lin joked. The three people who had lost their fighting capacity were not being looked at, but they seemed to show no signs of daring to make an escape.

Xiao Lin walked towards them, but a thought seemed to appear in his mind after barely a few steps. His expression turned to that of curiosity and playfulness, and his entire body then sped up abruptly, like a burst of wind. When he stopped again, he was already standing by the three stunned people.

“That’s mighty fast!” Lilith’s pupils contracted slightly. She rarely showed such a surprised expression, but the speed that Xiao Lin displayed in that brief moment escaped her sight. After a while, she said thoughtfully, “It does look a little different now.”

The difference was not just ‘a little’. A flurry of emotions set off in Xiao Lin’s heart. He had yet to enter his Miracle state and his instant burst could not be chalked up to the conversion of his attributes to agility. In that case, where did that sudden speed come from?

Xiao Lin felt that it had something to do with the rampage side effects of his dragon blood, but he was still unsure about it. Once the brief rampage ended, a huge sense of fatigue surged to his mind and his body felt limp. He was aware that he was forced to withdraw from the Miracle state due to the immense consumption of physical strength, and at the same time, the mysterious explosive force also disappeared as well.

“Looks like I’d have to study it carefully when I have the time.”

Xiao Lin could barely support his tired body. He originally planned to interrogate those three people, but it looked like he had to rest first. Besides, nothing useful could be gained from the time being judging from how stunned and silly-looking their expressions were.

“By the way, how is Ibeiya?” Xiao Lin noticed that Ibeiya had not gotten up at some point but was hiding far away, as if she did not want to see him. Xiao Lin had no other choice but to ask Lilith.

Lilith said, “She’s long revived herself, but she said that the scar on her neck is too ugly and she doesn’t want the perverted uncle to see it. That’s all.”

Xiao Lin was a little speechless, and curiously asked, “I remember that her head was almost... Uh, can she even recover with such a severe wound? The merits of being a vampire looks ridiculously amazing.”

Lilith shook her head, but lowered her voice slightly so Ibeiya would not hear from the distance, “I don’t know much about the dark races, but believe me, I’ve never heard of vampires with such a strong self-healing ability.”

“That girl is definitely unusual!” Lilith concluded solemnly and finally added in a low voice, “Just like you.”

Xiaolin could only smile wryly. The ‘unusualness’ that Lilith referred to was his SS-level talent. To date, he was gradually becoming aware of the difference demonstrated by his own body. While the side effects of dragon blood could be traced back to Song Junlang, the significance of the mysterious black hole within his body was still anyone’s guess.
