Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 769: Voidlings

Ever since he got bodied and bullied by the merged Colossus, Xu Feng wished for nothing more than to thrash them hard once the table was turned.

It was just that the opportunity had yet to present itself until Carmenʼs emergence. Now that the table had turned with her presence, Xu Feng would be damned to not get revenge for the suffering he had received.

He had always remained the same in his principles. Repay favor and kindness to those who gave you in times of crisis. But make sure to repay double for those who gave you crap.

”I want this merged bastard of rocks to get stepped on by me.” Xu Feng hissed coldly.

Meanwhile, Carmen was slightly surprised as she never thought there would be a day to witness Xu Feng behaving in such a manner.

ʼHmm, maybe I should have delayed my appearance just a little bit more. I might have been able to witness something more unique if that were to happen.ʼ Carmen thought. She was honestly regretting a little bit for showing up too quickly.

She wanted to flex some of her achievements and power. After all, she thought Xu Feng might have been finished on his ends soon, so if she were late, then the effect would have been mid.

Yet it appeared her conception was incorrect.

How could he be done when the city he chose to protect was under siege by the most powerful ones?

Sometimes, Carmen was curious as to how lucky and unlucky her guild leader could have gotten.

Lucky because he managed to recruit her, and unlucky because he had always faced the worst scenario outcome possible.

It was like even the system of the Divine World was against him.

ʼSigh, did the Guild Leader rob something and incur the wrath of the world?ʼ She wondered silently, completely unaware that her thought was extremely on the mark.

Shaking her head, Carmen didnʼt agree to Xu Fengʼs suggestion right away.

”What are you willing to offer up in return for that request?” She asked.

Startled, Xu Feng nearly received a shock when he heard her speaking in a business-like tone.

He cleared his throat and asked to confirm his hearing. ”Are you seriously asking me to offer you something in return?”

Nodding, Carmen clasped her hands and smiled.

”Naturally. Youʼre an honorary elder and Iʼm the Guild Commander. You donʼt have authority over me and neither do I toward you.” She continued, using his fake alias against him.

An honorary elder sounded impressive on the surface, but the truth was that the role itself couldnʼt be considered as a member of the guild.

Nevertheless, honorary elders were not under restriction of the guild and had more leeway. Their authority only worked against those below the elite members unless granted permission from the Guild Leader or Vice Guild Leader.

”You canʼt be seriously using this against me, right?” Xu Feng facepalmed.

”Of course, I am. This is called an equivalent exchange, and youʼre not my Guild Leader.” Carmen chuckled and shrugged. She gave him zero faces and pointed out that her creatures of the void were still dealing heavy damage to the merged Colossus.

Xu Feng was feeling bitter at the situation but at the same time, very impressed by her action. Equivalent exchange was indeed the basis for all work done when requested by others.

Why should she agree to his request if their role was considered equal on the surface?

Carmen knew if he just went back to his Guild Leader position, then she would agree to the request without asking for anything. But an honorary elder was different.

In a sense, Carmen was doing him a favor by ensuring no one would suspect Cool Wind was the Guild Leader.

”What do you want?” Xu Feng scratched his head and asked. To be fair, he didnʼt have anything that could satisfy the current Carmen.

Her equipment was already top-notch and cost a ton to purchase from Fiona Forgefire. As for the utilities, she was given the best of the best from the warehouse as well.

Grinding resources were also out of the question, given she had full access to it anyway.

She wouldnʼt request for money either. After all, with the town being a secret, Carmen knew how much gold coins were required to be dumped on it for development.

”Come on, are you still trying to hide from me?” Carmen smirked and proceeded to open her interface. She then began to type something and sent it to him.

Lunar Wraith: Iʼve learned something about the deal you made with the Cyclone Guild. Her name was Flora or Floral Witch.

As soon as Xu Feng read the message, he was taken aback.

ʼHow did she learn of the news?ʼ He had the news concealed and didnʼt mention much of it. Although Carmen knew he had gone to the Sky Wind Empire, the exact details werenʼt revealed.

When Carmen noticed his silence, she smirked and continued to type a bit more.

Lunar Wraith: Donʼt underestimate my network, my dearest Guild Leader. I want in.

Cool Wind: Why? You usually arenʼt interested in the guild matter and itʼs not something helpful to you either.

It wasnʼt that Xu Feng didnʼt want to bring her along, but it honestly wasnʼt that beneficial to her. The Hall of Resonance was just a boring and tedious trial to obtain some Hidden Class Tokens.

For Carmen who had the Voidmancer hidden class, everything else was worthless in her eyes.

Lunar Wraith: My voidlings need to be evolved, Guild Leader. To evolve, I need them to absorb many enemyʼs souls. The Hall of Resonance is a perfect place for me.

Astonished, Xu Feng nearly stumbled to the ground when he finished reading the message.

ʼNo wonder sheʼs always so powerful. That was the reason?ʼ Xu Feng only had a basic gist of understanding of Carmenʼs Voidmancer power. As for the actual core secret, he never got to know them due to the difference between them in the past timeline.

”Did you just discover this or you knew it a long time ago?” Xu Feng could barely control his hand to type properly so he instead asked directly.

Meanwhile, Carmen rolled her eyes and gazed at him as if he was a buffoon.

”I only just discovered it.” She responded.
