Chapter 18: Meet Meimu Again
I'm trying to find a way to finish off the enemy!
Li Ke turned his head and saw Mei Mu's chest heaving slightly. It was obvious that he was running towards him at full speed. He didn't know where the strength came from, and he didn't even untie his belt. He leaned on Yongen's sword and walked towards Mei Mu.
Having just experienced a life-and-death crisis, he now feels particularly safe when seeing Mei Mu. Where does this sense of security come from?
The evil demon that he had killed at the cost of his life, Meimu cast a spell and kicked the demon's head off with one kick. Isn't this damn sense of security?
"Meimu! You're here at last! Look! She is the evil demon you are looking for!"
Li Ke's staggering steps and the half-untied belt around his waist made Mei Mu's eyes jump. When they first met, she thought he was a steady and elegant young swordsman.
But her intuition was right. This guy was a wild boar with the same personality as her daughter Akali!
But she still came over, supported Li Ke, and helped him sit on the ground. After observing the battlefield for a while, she took out a bottle of pills and a talisman.
"Eat it, quickly."
Mei Mu handed Li Ke a pill that was specifically designed to treat internal injuries and replenish vitality and spirit. He then took out a talisman and chanted a spell in front of Li Ke.
The power of magic quickly gathered in Mei Mu's hands. After receiving Mei Mu's magical power, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees transferred part of their vitality, allowing Mei Mu to gather enough life force.
"Akrathorne!"
As the spell ended, a green light bloomed from Mei Mu's hands and enveloped the bodies of the two. Li Ke, who had taken the pill, immediately felt a different kind of sourness.
A warm and refreshing force entered his body from outside, nourishing his injured parts and the damage to his internal organs. After it came into contact with the pill in his body, it became even more uncontrollable, directly activating the pill in his stomach, allowing a cool feeling to spread from his stomach to his whole body.
“Ohhhh!!”
Although he has been in this world for more than ten years, this is the first time that Li Ke has been treated like this! He excitedly made an embarrassing cry, which also made Mei Mu raise his eyebrows again.
However, Li Ke did not see Mei Mu's expression, but quickly opened his attribute panel and found that his vitality was being replenished like a rocket. Finally, after Mei Mu stopped using magic, it stayed above 100. Even his own spiritual energy began to rise rapidly after the pill began to take effect.
And the speed was much faster than the speed of vitality increasing. Basically, when Li Ke just saw it rise, it had reached the full value of 140 points and broke through the upper limit.
156/140.
This number is still increasing. Li Ke feels that this number will not disappear until the effect of this pill disappears.
"Okay, I've saved your life. It's better for you to recover from the rest of your injuries slowly. This kind of magic... is not suitable for frequent use."
Mei Mu paused at the end of his speech. In fact, it was not that Li Ke’s injuries could not be completely healed by magic, but that was the rule.
A part of the vitality here has been drained away by myself. Although I have compensated for it with my magic, if I drain more, it will cause imbalance.
The purpose of their sect is to ensure balance, and they cannot artificially create imbalance. This is why sometimes, the disciples of the Sect of Balance are seen as cold and heartless.
When disciples of the Balance rescue people, they can use magic, and they are not stingy with their secret skills, but there is a prerequisite, which is that it will not affect the local balance.
Once a threshold is reached, even if the person dying in front of you is your brother or sister, you cannot use more magic to rescue them, otherwise it would go against the principle of balance.
This is the Iron Law of Balance. Although cruel, it is a truth that the Order of Balance has proven with countless blood and tears for thousands of years. Ideas from other places are not suitable for this land rich in magic.
Fortunately, Li Ke is lucky. The magic and vitality here are still strong, and the use of Meimu will not destroy the law of balance. But that's all. If he continues to use it, he will cross the line.
"I understand, I understand. It's about balance."
Li Ke smiled and gave Mei Mu a thumbs up, his sunny smile full of joy of escaping death. Mei Mu smiled and shook her head. Although this guy had the same personality as her reckless daughter, she didn't hate him. She even liked to see people like Li Ke showing this kind of pure... well, heartless smile.
Mei Mu was shocked by her situation. There were not many people she could admire. After a little thought, she came to a conclusion.
"Maybe it's because this guy is very sensible and doesn't get into trouble like Akali?"
The same personality will manifest differently in different people. Mei Mu was very clear about this. However, after making sure that Li Ke's injuries were almost healed, she turned her head and looked at the girl who was still breathing weakly.
"This is... the mask has been removed?"
Mei frowned and looked incredulously at Li Ke, who was now a little excited due to the excess mental energy, and then shook her head in confusion.
Although their balanced potion can restore a person's spiritual strength, it does not contain drugs that stimulate the mind. Li Ke's excitement can only show that he is such a person in his bones, and his true nature is revealed because of the overflow of spiritual energy.
It's different from the mental excitement caused by those stimulant drugs .
She walked over and checked the girl. She no longer felt any magical power on her body, but only saw a long blood mark on her face.
She hesitated for a moment, looked at the sleeping face of the girl, turned her back to Li Ke, and took out her kunai.
Even if the demon in the other person is removed, if the person with a crack in his heart cannot let go, then it is only a matter of time before another demon comes to visit him again.
And next time, the demon she transforms into will only be more powerful.
The smell of blood appeared in the air, causing Li Ke, who was somewhat excited due to excess mental energy, to stop smiling and look towards Mei Mu.
It's not that he had any sympathy for the girl. Although the wrong things done by people possessed and bewitched by the devil were caused by the devil, they were also caused by their own thoughts.
So, although the girl just now was bewitched by the devil, she really wanted to kill him. For such a person, he would not hesitate to kill her personally.
He just cared a little about the other party's mentality. He had already suffered some psychological trauma from the devil. If he hadn't cut off the other party's mask and achieved a special attack on his weakness, he would probably have died.
So, when Mei Mu wanted to ask Li Ke how he managed to cut off the mask with ordinary iron, Li Ke also spoke.
"You are really ordinary..."
"Relax, they fell on their own."
Mei was stunned. In all these years, ever since she became the Shadow Fist, no one dared to question her like this!
So she looked at Li Ke with a bad expression, and the kunai in her hand kept turning.
"You're worried about me, kid?"
