Chapter 317: Continuous Level Decrease to 45Lv, the Annoyed Remedios
Undercurrent Moon.
March 29th, 11:26.
The demi-human troops, led by the "Beast General" Hector Weiss, began clearing the battlefield of its numerous undead.
Meanwhile, the human faction was positioned at the center of the battlefield, warily watching the demi-humans' every move, like a wounded lion licking its wounds.
The corpses of 51 paladins lay silently before everyone. Ten of them had already turned into undead and had to be put down again.
Enri sat not far from the corpses, hugging her knees.
The Green Leaf Witch and an evil spirit hound stood quietly to the side. A female cleric was squatting opposite Enri, appearing to offer words of comfort.
This was the same female cleric to whom Enri had previously given a handkerchief.
Tang Zheng walked over to an injured paladin and raised his hand, a soft, holy light glowing from his palm:
"Major Wound Healing!"
The paladin's injuries began to recover, and his pained, suppressed breathing gradually evened out.
"Thank you."
The paladin said gratefully to Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng gave a slight nod and walked to another paladin, continuing to cast healing magic repeatedly.
Casting third-tier magic via XP Casting cost 150,000 experience points each time, and his level finally began to drop.
[Comprehensive Level: 52Lv→51Lv]
[Sword Saint: 7Lv→6Lv]
[Experience Bar: 1/630000]
With his experience bar emptying, each level drop left him with only a single point of experience. This meant that using any magic at all would cause him to lose another level.
As long as the experience cost didn't exceed his current maximum experience, he would only drop one level. Only if it exceeded the maximum would he drop two.
The subsequent level drops happened rapidly!
Each time Tang Zheng used healing magic, he immediately dropped a level.
[Comprehensive Level: 51Lv→50Lv]
[Sword Saint: 6Lv→5Lv]
[Experience Bar: 1/560000]
…
[Comprehensive Level: 46Lv→45Lv]
[Sword Saint: 1Lv→0Lv]
In just a few moments.
Tang Zheng's level had plummeted from 52 to 45, and the Sword Saint class had vanished from his stat panel.
"Thank you," the paladin said gratefully to Tang Zheng beside him.
"You're welcome."
Tang Zheng responded softly and stood up. A sudden pallor washed over his face, and he took a step back.
"Are you alright, Leader Tang?"
"Do you need to rest?" Seeing Tang Zheng's state, the paladin assumed he had over-expended his magic power and asked with urgent concern.
By now, the entire Holy Knight Order was filled with goodwill toward Free Will.
This was not only because of the powerful Tang Zheng, but also because an ordinary girl like Enri had braved the danger to bring back the corpses of their comrades.
"I'm fine."
The pallor on Tang Zheng's face vanished in an instant. He steadied himself and waved his hand with a smile, indicating that nothing was wrong.
*What was that just now?*
A trace of astonishment flickered in Tang Zheng's eyes.
The rapid, continuous level drops had made him distinctly feel a transient weakness as some kind of power left his body.
"It's not just weakness."
Tang Zheng focused his mind slightly, sensing his body's condition. It was as if his very life level had decreased along with his level.
"The change in my constitution wasn't that significant when I leveled up, and I've lost levels before without it being this obvious."
"Could it be that surpassing Level 50 brings some kind of invisible boost to one's life level?"
That abnormal sensation.
It reminded Tang Zheng of the feeling he'd had when he first took up the special job class, Valkyrie.
"Captain!"
"Sister!"
Panicked voices cried out from a short distance away.
All the members of the Holy Knight Order turned their heads to look, their eyes filled with worry, yet they dared not leave their positions.
They needed to keep an eye on the demi-humans' movements!
Remedios was kneeling on one knee, her holy sword planted in the ground before her. Her well-defined features were deathly pale, and her once-pink lips had turned a ghastly white.
It was a sign of excessive blood loss!
*Drip!*
*Drip!*
Droplets of red blood trickled ceaselessly from her wounds, running down the grooves of her armor to drip onto the ground.
Several clerics, along with the Cardinal, Kelart Custodio, surrounded Remedios, continuously casting restorative magic.
However.
Although Remedios's complexion improved slightly, her wounds showed no signs of healing, and the blood continued to flow.
Massive blood loss!
It was causing Remedios's aura to grow ever weaker. If they couldn't stop the bleeding quickly, no amount of healing magic would have any effect.
"How can this be!" Kelart was in disbelief, her usually calm and composed face showing panic for the first time.
"The Corrupting Sword..."
Remedios's pale lips parted.
"What?" Kelart didn't hear clearly.
"The Corrupting Sword, Crocodine," Remedios said weakly.
"One of the Four Great Demonic Swords belonging to the Black Knight of the Thirteen Heroes. The 'Corrupting Sword' is said to inflict wounds that cannot be healed."
Kelart's pupils shrank, her voice trembling.
If that was the case, it would explain why healing magic had no effect on Remedios's injuries.
But—
Watching her sister's aura weaken, Kelart's eyes began to redden. She had never seen her sister in such a feeble state.
Could she only watch as her sister died from blood loss?
"I might have a way."
A calm voice arrived with the sound of footsteps.
Kelart quickly turned her head to look, her light green pupils filled with excitement when she saw it was Tang Zheng.
"Leader Tang, are you serious? These injuries were caused by the 'Corrupting Sword'."
Kelart was a mixture of doubtful and hopeful.
"I can't be certain, but we can try."
Tang Zheng stepped forward and looked at Remedios, who could only be described as wretched and near death. He reached into the magic leather pouch at his waist and took out a potion.
"This is an undiluted regeneration potion. Drink it first."
Tang Zheng held the potion out to Remedios.
Remedios weakly opened her eyes, looked at the serious, black-haired Tang Zheng before her, and turned her head to the side. "No."
The two had argued several times before, and Tang Zheng's nonchalant attitude each time had infuriated Remedios.
What truly angered her was Tang Zheng's attitude toward demi-humans.
Whether it was the female demi-human in his party or his friendly interactions with the demi-human Gagaran, Remedios found it all disagreeable.
He was an adventurer and a citizen of the Re-Estize Kingdom; she had no right to interfere with his attitude toward demi-humans.
But—
The Holy Kingdom and the demi-humans have a hatred that has lasted for centuries.
From the bottom of her heart, Remedios disliked, even hated, people like Tang Zheng who associated with demi-humans.
