Chapter 131 Breakup
After a period of debauchery, Alan and Sonia ended their meditation at the same time.
They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
Both of them have made huge breakthroughs in their practice!
Sonia successfully advanced to the early stage of the third level.
The third level of atavism corresponds to the "Chain Demon" form!
Alan's cultivation finally broke through to the early stage of the second level!
Physical attribute +1!
Mental attribute +1!
Natural armor +1!
Current attributes: 24 physique, 20 agility, 29 spirit
Allen's atavistic transformation was upgraded to the second level.
The second-level atavism form is still a poisonous demon, and the height has increased from 3 meters to 4 meters!
Physical attribute +4.
Natural armor +4.
Compared to the first-order atavism, the gain is doubled!
There was no noticeable change in Allen's bone spur.
However, the venom gland has developed a new ability - absorbing viruses!
From now on, Alan can use his bone spurs to absorb viruses from organisms or the environment, use them for his own benefit, and temporarily make the organism (environment) lose its toxicity.
The amount of poison absorbed depends on the physical attributes.
Alan currently has level 6 poison resistance and can absorb toxins below level 6 without any risk.
Starting from the second level, the warlock has a chance to awaken 2nd level magic.
Alan was lucky enough to awaken a 2nd level "Berserk".
…
Berserk: Spend 5 magic points to designate yourself or a target within 100 meters to enter a "berserk" state that lasts for up to 10 minutes.
During the rage, the physique is increased by 2, and mental resistance is gained, making it less susceptible to mental control such as hypnosis.
But there is a price to pay!
During a frenzy, it is impossible to calm down and do detailed work that requires high concentration.
Like casting magic.
…
The joy brought by the promotion did not last long.
Just two days later, Allen received bad news.
"Brother Allen! I just received a notice from the higher-ups of the cult. Something big is going to happen!"
Sonia pushed the door open, looking panicked.
Alan threw away the magic stone in his hand that had run out of energy and slowly stood up.
"The academy is going to send people to fight for the mushroom garden again?"
"You guessed it right!" Sonia nodded with a wry smile. "The undercover agent of the cult in the Warlock Academy sent a message. This time the team is led by a vice-dean."
"It must be Charles Russell, Han Ning's mentor, a fifth-level natural sorcerer." Allen guessed.
Han Ning is a direct disciple of Vice President Russell.
Han Ning died in the mushroom garden, and all the natural disciples who accompanied him were wiped out except Tao Na.
This disastrous defeat dealt a heavy blow to the natural science department of the college.
Vice Dean Russell, as the leader of the Natural Science Department, must personally take over the mushroom garden and save face.
Otherwise, he might not be able to maintain his position as one of the "three giants of the academy".
Allen had anticipated this.
He was not surprised that Vice President Russell took action personally.
What’s surprising is…why did it take so long to come?
One year in the mushroom garden is equivalent to two months in the outside world.
Excluding the time Tao Na took to return to the academy to tip off, there was still a lot of time that was probably wasted on intrigue.
Fortunately, the major forces within the academy were not of one mind and were pulling each other's legs, so Alan was able to practice peacefully in the mushroom garden for a whole year.
The good times are over, it's time to consider a way out.
"Sonia, what does the Human-Devil Cult say?"
"The top leaders are unwilling to give up the mushroom garden and plan to send elite soldiers to reinforce!" Sonia still has illusions, "Brother Allen! Our sect is well prepared this time and may not lose to the Warlock Academy!"
Alan shook his head slightly, a sneer appearing at the corner of his lips.
"Brother Allen... aren't you going to stay here and fight alongside me?" Sonia could see that his expression was not right, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.
"Sorry, Sonia, I have to go." Allen sighed, "Do you still remember how terrifying the possessed Han Ning was? Vice President Russell could have killed him with just one hand!"
"But we also have a fifth-rank archbishop in our sect!" Sonia was unconvinced, "What's more, there is also the Fungus Master here!"
"The strength of the mushroom master is at most the late fourth stage. Moreover, unless the ecology of the mushroom garden is seriously threatened, the mushroom master will not bother to intervene in the fight between the sect and the academy."
Alan held Sonia's hand and urged her to sober up.
"I dare not say that the academy will definitely win and the cult will definitely lose. The key to the problem is not this, but that our strength is too weak!"
"In a struggle at the level of the vice-dean and the archbishop, we are just cannon fodder."
"Sonia, your term as acting leader has come to an end."
"No matter how obsessed you are with power, it's time to wake up."
"The Archbishop has come to the mushroom garden, so how can you give orders?"
"Even the disciples and confidants around the Archbishop are probably much more powerful than you!"
"So, what exactly do you expect?"
"If you don't want to die here, you have to prepare for retreat now."
Hearing him say this, Sonia felt as if she was falling into an icy cave.
It took her a long time to finally pull herself together.
"Brother Allen... I want to go back to Quinte Island with you, back to the town where we were born and grew up."
"We were young then, and we were both very naive..."
"I still remember that you felt sorry for me because I was skinny and worried that I wouldn't have enough to eat, so you stole milk from the kitchen of your tavern for me to drink."
"Actually, my stomach felt uncomfortable when I drank milk, but I still drank it all happily."
“Perhaps, that was the happiest day of my life.”
As she spoke, Sonia's eyes turned red and her voice choked with sobs.
"Unfortunately, nothing can go back."
"I won't accept this...Brother Allen, I won't accept this!"
"I've come this far, I can't bear to give up on it all!!"
Her expression gradually became hysterical.
"I want to stay in the mushroom garden. I want to climb higher!"
"The Human-Devil Cult is my only way to climb up!"
“I want to stand out!”
"Until I am no longer bullied!"
“Never be bullied again!!”
She cried and screamed like a madman.
"Sonia..."
Alan pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
The words "I'll stay with you" almost came out of his mouth.
But in the end I couldn't say it.
After all, he also has his own ambitions and his own path to follow.
A long, winding and thorny road.
The time was not right yet and he could not afford the risk.
The only way is to run away before the storm comes.
Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, hiding its claws and fangs and enduring!
The trembling body of the girl in his arms gradually calmed down.
Sonia's madness was entirely caused by the pressure of life.
It is the fragile flesh and blood body's stress response to pain and disaster.
In essence, she is an extremely rational person, just like Allen.
When she's not crazy, she's pretty sane.
Sonia raised her head from Alan's arms and smiled with tears in her eyes.
Her cheeks, still stained with tears, were flushed charmingly.
"Brother Allen, tell me honestly, am I hot?"
"hot!"
"Do I have a pretty face?"
"pretty!"
"Am I good in bed?"
"good!"
"Is it sexy?"
“Slut!”
"Then when I miss you, can I go find you and rekindle our past relationship?"
Sonia's eyes flickered, full of anticipation.
"You can come to me. I'll provide you with food, drink and accommodation. If you want to continue our relationship..." Alan smiled, "Sorry, you have to pay more."
Sonia widened her eyes in anger, and after a long while she managed to utter a word:
"……Why?!"
"I don't dare to be too nice to you, for fear that you will be under a lot of mental pressure ." Alan replied calmly.
"…Do you do this to other girls?"
"To be honest, many girls want to pay me for sex, but I don't accept them."
"That's okay!" Sonia breathed a sigh of relief.
Alan could see that she was pretending to be relieved. He wanted to laugh, but he also felt inexplicably sad.
