Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 365: Successor

With Earthrender canceling the realm for Carmen and Crimson Heart, it became evident that it was no longer pleased to continue the illusion any further.

After all, its plan to watch Xu Feng get thrashed had turned into nothing but a joke.

Rather than beating him up for some venting, the two women were respectively taking advantage of it.

Carmen might have been thrashing the fake out of anger because it did not match the real, but she was still improving her combat experience. As for Crimson Heart, she was more damnable, treating his illusion as nothing but a dummy test.

The illusion he created was meant to cloud the peopleʼs judgment and deceive them.

It was supposed to be a deadly test where they would begin to question reality.

”You better not speak of this matter.” Earthrender glared at Xu Feng, warning him of the consequences.

”Relax, I still treasure my life even if I canʼt really die.” Xu Feng reassured him. After all, he still wanted to become the successor, so to irritate him for a trivial matter like this was not worth the result.

Suddenly, Xu Feng sensed danger and reacted instinctively. He quickly activated Phantom Step and escaped from his initial position.

Shortly after his escape, Crimson Heart appeared from behind and swung her dagger at the empty space.

”Huh, this fake became quite skillful?” Alarmed, Crimson Heart turned her attention to Xu Feng who had retreated a few steps from his position.

”Wait a minute, Iʼm not—”

Before Xu Feng could even explain he was the real one, Carmen had already summoned her Elementalist and used it as a medium to launch numerous spells at him.

”Eat my spells, you damn fake!” Carmen exclaimed, not holding anything back in launching her strongest spells.

”Earthrender, quickly do something.” Xu Feng hurriedly shouted at Earthrender. Even he would be in a predicament to receive a surprise attack like this.

Not to mention, he didnʼt have many guards against these two, given they normally wouldnʼt even think of attacking him.

Well, at least he wasnʼt guarded against Carmen compared to Crimson Heart. Thus, he was able to swiftly escape Crimson Heartʼs attack but failed to acknowledge Carmenʼs aggression.

”Hmph, what an annoying Cleric,” Earthrender snorted, his nostrils flaring with a burst of hot air that sent tiny pebbles skittering across the ground.

Despite its irritation, Earthrender swiftly shifted its stance, focusing its energy. The air around him shimmered as if heated, and the jagged rocks along his body began to pulse with a deep, rhythmic glow.

A low hum filled the air, and the ground beneath rumbled softly as Earthrender manipulated the mana around him.

With a flick of his claw, he conjured a dense, swirling barrier of earthen mana that seemed to absorb the surrounding energy. The barrier was like a veil of molten rock, glowing with cracks of fiery light, twisting and warping the space around it.

As the barrage of spells from Carmen hurtled toward Xu Feng, the mana shield responded instantly, bending and rippling to deflect each attack. The spells splashed against the barrier like water against stone, fizzling out on contact.

After blocking the spells for Xu Feng, Earthrender vanished from its position, reappearing in front of Carmen the next moment.

Alarmed, Carmen was about to wave her staff and swing it at Earthrender, perceiving the latter as an enemy,

However, Earthrender easily swung its tail and staggered Carmen a little bit.

”At ease, lady.” Earthrender calmly spoke.

”This is no longer an illusion but reality.” He explained.

”Impossible.” Refusing to believe his words, Carmen continued, ”I remembered the Guild Leader suddenly mentioned he had something urgent to do and suicide to leave the place. It was still vividly displayed in my mind.”

”Does it look like Iʼm the type to suicide?” Xu Feng suddenly exclaimed and sent her a private message through the system.

As soon as the message was sent, Carmen received the message and was dazed. Everything could be faked, but the system prompt could not.

Otherwise, who would still believe in the system?

The system was an intangible substance, to say the least. It was omnipotent, so having read the message sent by Xu Feng, she finally relaxed her muscles a bit.

”Are you really the Guild Leader?” She questioned in a doubtful tone.

”Of course, if not me, then who could explain what we did in the empty cave and witnessed a galaxy-like environment?” Xu Feng smiled, revealing a little bit of information that only the two of them knew.

Sure enough, Carmen breathed a sigh of relief after hearing it.

That galaxy-like environment was only between them, so no third party was capable of knowing. Unless Earthrender was powerful enough to know such secrets, but she doubted it.

”How unfortunate…” Crimson Heart suddenly muttered. ”I was hoping itʼs another fake.”

What was unfortunate was that her muttering was heard by Xu Feng, and he couldnʼt help but unconsciously close his legs together.

ʼShe definitely has a tendency to hit men in that particular area.ʼ Xu Feng thought to himself.

It wasnʼt rare to see women constantly targeting men in that area, given it was a mega weakness. Experience tales at empire

Even if the pain sensation wasnʼt much and allowed to be set to zero once the Divine World goes to an update, men would still imagine the pain.

Sometime later, Earthrender finished explaining the situation to the trio, but mainly Carmen and Crimson Heart.

Not to be a bragger, but Earthrender knew Xu Feng had long figured out everything, so he didnʼt care much about him.

”I conducted this illusion test with the collaboration of Yaren. I hope the two of you can forgive me, but Iʼm in a hurry to find a successor.” Earthrender sincerely apologized to Carmen and Crimson Heart, hoping they would forgive him.

”You know Iʼm still here, right?” Xu Feng knitted his brows, feeling quite isolated.

”Shut up and wait patiently there!” Earthrender roared. ”Youʼre my successor already, so just wait until I finish compensating these two ladies.”
