Mana Revival: Starting by Sacrificing the Campus Belle!

Chapter 64: Chapter 59: Damned Bright God

It was clearly deliberate.

”Wh-what happened?”

Just then, Yuan Heng and the other two ran over.

Seeing the anger on Fang Xiu’s face, they said timidly, ”Because... we heard a bloodcurdling scream, so we came to have a look.”

Hearing this, Fang Xiu stared at the three of them for a long time.

He finally shook his head. ”It’s nothing. The Fake Spirit made a desperate, final move as it died. It self-destructed and injured my friend, but she’s fine now.”

”S-self-destructed? Is this young lady all right?”

Although Yuan Heng found Kajimi’s appearance somewhat strange, the thought that she might be a Succubus never crossed his mind.

He just assumed it was some other form of Beastification.

”I’m fine.”

Kajimi shook her head.

She answered casually.

”Lin Huo, let me borrow your Flame for a moment!”

Fang Xiu said, looking at Lin Huo.

”Huh?”

Lin Huo was completely dumbfounded.

He had no idea what was going on.

Fang Xiu paid him no mind and just said to Kajimi, ”Kajimi, you should head out first.”

Kajimi looked at Fang Xiu and nodded slightly. ”Yes, Master. I will wait for you over there.”

She was worried about Fang Xiu.

After all, Yuan Heng’s group consisted of three people, and all of their Levels were higher than his.

”Yeah!”

Fang Xiu nodded, then added, ”Go a bit farther.”

After all, he wasn’t sure just how far the Light of Purification’s range extended.

Watching Kajimi walk out, Lin Huo and the other two were taken aback.

They didn’t know what Fang Xiu was planning to do, and they all grew a little wary.

After all, Fang Xiu’s power was formidable, as they had witnessed firsthand.

And he’d even had that woman block their escape route.

”Luo Sheng—I mean, that thing seems to have vanished!”

Du Xiwei had just noticed something they’d missed.

”GULP. Don’t tell me...”

Lin Huo stared at Fang Xiu, his face a mask of terror.

That thing had vanished without leaving a trace, not even a body.

’Could it be that the Fang Xiu in front of us has already been killed? That the Demon Beast has taken his form?’

”I know what you’re thinking. A mere Fake Spirit can’t hurt me.”

Fang Xiu said calmly, ”Besides, she was here. If I’d been replaced, don’t you think she would have known?”

”Well... I guess that’s true!”

The three of them thought about it and realized he was right.

If Fang Xiu had been replaced, that woman would have attacked long ago.

”Lin Huo, let me borrow your Blazing Flame for a moment!”

Fang Xiu said, looking at Lin Huo.

”Uh... alright!”

Lin Huo hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He knew that if a fight broke out, he would be no match for either Fang Xiu or the Fake Spirit.

In any case, since the other party showed no intention of attacking, Lin Huo didn’t dare say anything more.

”Blazing Flame!”

With a low grunt, flames surged up his arm.

”Use your fire to burn this!”

Fang Xiu tossed him the small box he’d received from the Bright God.

Lin Huo caught the small box.

The surface of the box had some strange carvings on it, and the material seemed to be of very high quality.

But since Fang Xiu had already told him to burn it, Lin Huo didn’t dare say another word.

He nodded slightly.

The Flame immediately enveloped the entire small box.

Fang Xiu watched from the side.

’Although this is from the Bright God, given his cheap personality, he would never use good material for the box.’

’However, what the Bright God considers trash material is probably still quite decent in this world.’

That was why Lin Huo’s Blazing Flame was having no effect whatsoever on the small box.

”What... what is this material? My Flame doesn’t seem to be working!”

Lin Huo had noticed the problem as well.

”Keep burning it!”

Fang Xiu had no intention of letting Lin Huo stop.

Fang Xiu knew that as long as he kept burning it, it would eventually work.

”Y-yes!”

Hearing this, Lin Huo said no more.

He just kept incinerating the small box with his fire.

Ten minutes passed with no reaction.

Half an hour passed. Still no reaction.

An hour later...

”What... what on earth is this box made of? My Flame isn’t the strongest, but after burning it for a solid hour, even the hardest crafting materials would show signs of melting. This thing... there’s nothing at all!”

Lin Huo was drenched in sweat.

He had also consumed a great deal of Spiritual Power.

Although this was much simpler and consumed less Spiritual Power than forming a Blazing Flame Fireball Technique, the continuous, hour-long burn was taking its toll on him.

”So your flame can melt the hardest crafting materials? Then this box should be close to melting too. Keep going.”

Fang Xiu did not let Lin Huo stop.

If even the hardest crafting materials in the world could be melted, that meant this box must be close, too.

”Agh!”

Lin Huo wanted to say something else, but when he met Fang Xiu’s gaze, he could only nod meekly. ”Yes... I... I understand.”

The burning continued.

Another half hour passed.

”Something’s happening! It’s reacting!”

Lin Huo shouted excitedly.

Fang Xiu and the others looked over.

They finally saw the small box begin to show signs of melting within the flames in Lin Huo’s hand.

”Good. Keep at it!”

Fang Xiu nodded slightly.

Lin Huo wiped the sweat from his head.

’I have no idea what he’s doing,’ he thought, ’but what choice do I have? My Level is higher than his, but I can’t beat him in a fight.’

’I just have to accept my fate as his grunt labor.’

Time passed, second by second.

Lin Huo had already replenished his Spiritual Power twice.

And he’d had to use his own Spiritual Recovery Potions.

The cost made Lin Huo’s heart ache.

He was reluctant to use them even during a fight.

And now he’d already gone through two bottles just to melt some stupid material.

He’d bought those with Points he had saved up from desperately hunting Demon Beasts.

Just thinking about it was painful.

But Fang Xiu wouldn’t let him stop, so he could only continue.

Fortunately, once it started showing signs of melting, it only took another hour or so for the small box to melt completely.

”Just as I thought.”

Fang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, watching the small box melt away without any Light of Purification appearing.

This Light of Purification was clearly meant to target a Succubus.

Fang Xiu naturally couldn’t possibly keep it.

But if he threw it away and someone else found it, it would also be a potential threat to Kajimi.

Fang Xiu had speculated that the Light of Purification could be sealed in a small box only because the Spell for it was carved into the box itself.

Only by destroying the entire small box could he destroy the Light of Purification.

It seemed his theory was correct.

After the small box was completely melted down, the Light of Purification never appeared.

”This molten stuff... what should I do with it?”

Lin Huo asked, looking at the lump of molten material.

”Keep burning it. Preferably until it’s nothing but ash.”

Fang Xiu wasn’t kidding.

Only when this thing had completely disappeared could Fang Xiu be at ease.

Otherwise, he couldn’t be sure it wouldn’t somehow be restored.

It was a gift from the Bright God, after all.

”Aaaagh!”

Lin Huo looked utterly devastated when he heard this.

’What the hell? It took forever just to melt this stupid box, and I had to use two Spiritual Recovery Potions! If I keep going, how many more will I have to use?’

”You disagree?”

Fang Xiu asked, looking at Lin Huo.

”N-no, it’s not that I disagree. It’s just that this will take a very long time, and I don’t have any more Spiritual Recovery Potions. I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it!”

It was the only excuse Lin Huo could think of.

He absolutely did not want to continue. He wasn’t just burning a box; he was burning through his own resources!

”Yours,” Fang Xiu said, turning to Yuan Heng and Du Xiwei. ”Take them out and give them to him. Don’t tell me you don’t have any. If I have to find them myself, you’re finished.”

Hearing this, Yuan Heng and Du Xiwei exchanged a look.

After a moment’s hesitation, they obediently took out their potions.

After all, Fang Xiu’s power was undeniable.

Seeing his teammates pull out their Spiritual Power Recovery Potions was a scene he had dreamed of countless times.

But right now, Lin Huo couldn’t feel happy about it at all.
