Elemental Light Mage

Chapter 566: Rising in Resistance

"correct."

Xi Yeming moved to Torena's side on the ground, and he bent down and carefully felt around the outer pockets.

Until his fingers touched something cold and hard, Xi Yeming immediately grabbed it and took it out.

"Jingle Bell--"

It was indeed a black stone, but both Xi Yeming and Bianca frowned upon seeing its current appearance.

The black stone shattered...

"How could this be?"

Once the magic stone is broken, it is difficult to regain its original benefits, which means that leaving the barrier adds another layer of difficulty.

The hope is slim...

Even Xi Yeming couldn't come up with a solution to this situation.

The four broken stones lay in his palm, the heavy pressure clogging his nerves, and his usually sharp mind suddenly couldn't reach the next conclusion.

Suddenly, Xi Yeming stood up and looked towards the battlefield.

"Please take good care of them."

Bianca was startled by his actions. "What are you going to do?"

"If there is no answer in front of me, then I should go and find the answer myself."

Sean is reborn, Black Stone is shattered, and everything is heading towards an inevitable end, but Xi Yeming still tries to change things.

Golden lightning once again enveloped his body, and shimmering magical particles surged forth from Xi Yeming's body.

"Heavenly thunder has descended upon the world, and you shall be slain. I am the punishment of Heaven!"

The lightning bolt transformed into a spear, which Xi Yeming grasped and hurled at Xi En.

Sensing the approaching lightning, Sean repelled Kason and Anqin before him, then turned and unleashed a sword strike that shattered the lightning spear.

"Kid, you're still alive?"

That attack was a fatal threat to Xi Yeming, and the fact that he could withstand it and still get up to fight back was truly beyond Sean's expectations.

The control magic was affecting Xi Yeming's state of mind. The thought of giving up the struggle clashed with his true will, and for now, reason had the upper hand.

-

"This is……"

What appeared before the eyes of the saints was a piece of charred soil.

Leo shook the dirt off his hands and asked, "Is this what I was asked to dig up?"

"There aren't many situations where electricity can be generated underground," said Ario, raising his chin.

“It’s capacitor ore,” the Klinka siblings immediately guessed.

It is a type of underground ore that can generate electricity. It is a common energy source in the world of magic and naturally exists in the border areas of different worlds.

"The answer is clear: the location after teleportation is northwest of the world's border."

As they talked, White had already set up a magic circle, and everyone's feet gradually left the ground and rose into the sky.

"Is this the gravity magic that the Holy Will is so proud of?"

Su Caibai experienced the feeling of being carried away by gravity magic for the first time, and wondered, "Why can't Xi Yeming do that?"

Gwen floated beside the two students and said kindly, "It's alright, that child will learn it sooner or later."

-

Under the power of the holy sword, Xi Yeming was sent flying dozens of meters away and crashed into the rock wall. His chest was covered in blood and flesh, and a hideous bloodstain was clearly visible.

Previously, they could rely on Sean's undead body and use their lightning armor to fight him off, but now, against the Holy Sword Magic and Lion Transformation Magic, these methods are simply not enough.

Forced to withdraw from the Lightning Armor, Xi Yeming suffered the backlash of this magic, the needle-like pain devouring every inch of his skin and his rationality.

A warm, damp sensation slid down his cheek, and when Xi Yeming reached out to touch it, he discovered that blood was flowing from his forehead.

"Did you lose...?"

His vision grew increasingly blurry, and he never saw the hope Bianca had told him before he failed.

Perhaps he is not included in the hopes for the future.

Xi Yeming watched helplessly as Kasong and the others were forced into the tunnel step by step after he escaped, but his physical weakness told him that there was basically no way to turn the tide.

"I'm a little... unwilling to accept it."

With a helpless complaint, Xi Yeming's head drooped slightly, his consciousness finally settling at that moment, and the light in his eyes faded away.

……

Am I dead?

In a daze, a cool sensation swept over Xi Yeming's forehead, as if something had been applied to his wound to stop the bleeding.

What awaited him was not the painful death he had imagined, but rather a sense of relief that allowed him to slowly shake off the heaviness and powerlessness brought on by his injuries.

A cool sensation covered the wound on Xi Yeming's chest again, and this time he could feel something soft touching him.

The softness seemed to glide evenly across Xi Yeming's body with a purpose, and after regaining consciousness, he felt a warm breath blowing towards his cheek.

"Well……"

Xi Yeming struggled against death in the darkness, spreading his thoughts to every corner of his body.

"Ah...why are his fingers moving?"

With a twitch of his fingers, Xi Yeming's spirit completely regained control of his body, and he opened his eyes to examine the world once more.

After regaining his sight, Xi Yeming's world was filled with the face of a girl.

"..."

"..."

The girl and Xi Yeming looked at each other in silence, speechless, their eyes meeting only as they gazed at each other.

Xi Yeming lowered his gaze and noticed that the girl was holding a tube of ointment. Following the cool sensation, he looked down and found that his wound was covered with light green ointment.

He tried to get up by supporting himself with his hands, but the pain from his wounds forced Xi Yeming to give in.

Seeing this, the girl stopped her, saying, "Don't move around, the ointment has only just been applied evenly."

Although Xi Yeming wanted to refute, his body wouldn't allow him to act recklessly any longer. The frustration of punching cotton made him give up again.

"You shouldn't have saved him."

A student walked towards the two of them, his words laced with sarcasm as he spoke to the girl, "If that senior finds out you helped Xi Yeming, he will definitely not let you off the hook."

Xi Yeming's handsome face contorted slightly as he frowned and looked at the student.

Another student came over and said, "If you're still sober, you should know that you've already lost, Xi Yeming."

"Are you here to argue?"

Although Xi Yeming's body is temporarily unable to move, he can at least still retaliate with his mouth.

He wouldn't let others take the opportunity to attack his mentality; resisting the control of magic was already exhausting enough.

"Hmph, if only we had known this would happen, we might have gotten out of here by now. If we had just handed Bianca over, we might all be out of here."

"Are you mentally challenged?" Xi Yeming argued with the student in front of him, fueled by a sliver of anger. "Can't you see how miserable Scott and Torena are?"

"Do you think your status is more valuable than theirs? Sean didn't even spare them, and you actually expect him to let you off the hook?"

"That's none of your business, an outsider, to point fingers."

Xi Yeming calmly retorted, "Then it's not your place to point fingers, is it? Why don't you obediently go and be Sean's dog? It's just that you're afraid he'll take your life first."
