Chapter 1023: Bella’s Precarious Situation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Ahh!” As Isabella shouted in surprise, the Zhanlu Sword stopped just one millimeter away from Jiang Fei’s scalp.

Drip.

Jiang Fei could feel sweat all over his face. He was definitely afraid at that moment. If Isaella had awakened just one fraction of a second later, and if the Zhanlu Sword had even scraped a bit of Jiang Fei’s scalp, the Valium from the sword would have taken his life.

“Let go of it now!” Although Jiang Fei had barely survived, and his heart was still pounding, he was more worried about Isabella. After all, she was holding the Godblade’s body with her bare hands.

“Husband, I’m sorry…” Isabella said with tears in her eyes.

“It’s alright. Please loosen your grip now!” Jiang Fei thought Isabella was apologizing for nearly hurting him.

However, to Jiang Fei’s surprise, Isabella shook her head. She did not want to let go of the Zhanlu Sword. Her hand was still wrapped around the sword’s body as fresh blood continued to drip onto it and react with the Valium’s energy. The energy then flowed through her arm before being absorbed, forming a cycle of sorts.

“Captain, you’d better not let Bella release the Zhanlu Sword or she might die!” 0542 suddenly said.

“0542, what is going on?” After hearing that, he immediately started to panic. He could not imagine himself losing Isabella again. Moreover, this was the real world. If she died, she would not be able to revive again.

“It’s very difficult to explain. I need to first scan Bella’s condition before forming an analysis.” 0542 said.

“Alright! Scan her now!” Jiang Fei did not want to delay anything as it was related to Isabella’s safety. After all, the Godblade was not a normal weapon.

Just as 0542 began scanning Isabella, her eyes started glowing in a bright red color. A frightening aura began to emit from her body once again.

However, the aura seemed to come and go very quickly. Within a second, her eyes returned to normalcy.

“0542, form the analysis right away!” Jiang Fei urged. Although he did not know what was happening to Isabella’s body, he was certain that it was nothing good.

“Captain, you’d better ask Bella what happened. The more information I get, the more accurate the analysis.” 0542 told Jiang Fei as it scanned Isabella’s body.

“Alright!” Jiang Fei nodded. He then turned to face the awakened Isabella. “Bella, what happened? Why are you holding the sword’s body?”

“I’m sorry, husband. I may not be able to accompany you anymore…” Isabella explained everything to Jiang Fei while tears welled up in her eyes.

According to Isabella, she was distracted when Ariel had asked her for help. In the end, she was assaulted from behind, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood on the Zhanlu Sword.

The Valium instantly reacted with her blood which was full of energy. An uncontrollable energy formed from the reaction and swiftly entered her body.

Almost immediately, Isabella felt as if her body had been infected by the energy. It was almost like she was attacked by the Godblade. When that happened, her body instinctively began to use the Power of Conqueror to suppress the wild energy.

However, something unexpected happened. The Godblade’s power actually reacted with the Power of Conqueror. Although it was still very volatile, it no longer destroyed her body. In fact, she could even direct the power to a certain extent. As such, she was able to use Godblade’s power through her eyes.

Jiang Fei had already heard about Isabella’s control over the Power of Conqueror. She had explained that it was some sort of an engulfing and transmutation ability which was similar to the Nephilim race’s powers in the game. That was the core of Isabella’s understanding within the Nephilim race which she had acquired during her time in the endless space of void.

That ability was what allowed her to survive the Valium’s corrosion. In fact, she was able to kill Level 5 experts with ease.

At the same time when Isabella had acquired this ability, she also urgently wanted to help Jiang Fei out. Therefore, in order to end the battle quickly, she used her bare hands to hold the sword’s body so that more blood would flow towards the sword. As such, she would obtain even greater powers.

With this power, she was able to kill two Level 5 experts with ease and rush over to save Jiang Fei. However, by then, she had already lost her rationality. She only held a single thought which was to kill all Level 5 experts around Jiang Fei as that was the only way she could keep him safe. If not for Jiang Fei’s act of blocking her attack with his own body, Isabella would probably not have recovered her consciousness so quickly.

Although Isabella had acquired the ability to kill Level 5 experts with ease, she clearly did not benefit from it entirely.

Very soon, 0542 produced results of the analysis.

“Captain, I have identified Bella’s conditions…” 0542 began to explain.

Right then, Isabella was indeed in a precarious situation. Although she could still live on, she was in a very unstable state.

Firstly, the wild energy in her body was continuously corroding her mind. Although Isabella could still remain conscious for now, there was a possibility that she could lose her sanity anytime. Moreover, the longer this dragged on, the greater the possibility of such a scenario. When the wild energy fully corroded her mind, she would become a mindless killing demon.

“Can’t we sever the link between her and the Valium?” Jiang Fei asked.

“I’m afraid it’s not as easy as you think…” 0542 explained to Jiang Fei.

Right then, there was a conflicting situation in Isabella’s body. While her body was being continuously destroyed by the Valium, the wild energy was also continuously repairing her damaged body. As such, there was an odd cycle.

If the link between Isabella and the Valium was cut off, Bella would lose the wild energy in her body. However, the damage in her body would not stop. Her body would naturally be destroyed by Godblade’s corrosion and explode.

At this moment, Isabella was akin to a drug addict. Although she knew that the current conditions were not good for her body, she had no choice but to maintain them.

“If that’s the case, how long will Bella last?” Jiang Fei asked with a frown.

“You ought to be worried about how long the Zhanlu Sword can last!” 0542 sighed. Although Isabella’s mind was being corroded by the wild energy, she would not lose her sanity within a short amount of time. However, there was a limited amount of Valium in the Zhanlu Sword. As soon as the Valium was used up, the wild energy would be depleted and Bella would probably die from exploding before she even lost her sanity.
