Chapter 11 Is This What I Get From Saving You (Part One)
'Did the pendant save me?' Austin took out a ring-like jade pendant from his collar and examined it
thoughtfully.
He was still in trance, but he gradually calmed down and tried to recall what happened.
Rafat tried to attack him when something weird happened.
When he was about to be hit in the chest, an explosion of dazzling white light appeared. It literally
saved his life from the critical strike, while severely injuring the attacker.
The only possible reason he was still alive was the pendant he was wearing.
He was still an outer disciple when he found the jade pendant. When he was sent off into the mountain
for a trial, he came to face with a diabolic beast. He hunted it down to its lair where he spotted the
pendant among its hoard. When he fought with the beast, he noticed that it was desperately protecting
the pendant with its life.
Austin eventually killed the beast and took the jade pendant.
He initially thought that the jade pendant might have some special powers that the diabolic beast was
willing to sacrifice its life to protect it. But after many nights of continuous study, he didn't find anything
special, so he gave up on that thought.
But he decided to keep the jade pendant as a trophy for killing a third level diabolic beast.
After all, not all warriors at the ninth level of Energy Gathering Realm could slaughter a third level
diabolic beast.
But today, the seemingly ordinary pendant turned out to be something special. It had saved Austin from
the wrath of Rafat.
It could be possible that the pendant still had other potentials unknown to Austin yet.
With this thought in mind, Austin was determined to study the pendant further.
But the thought of Rafat's explosive power crossed his mind and he was overwhelmed with fear.
Blood Bath Magic was the spell that Rafat cast, and the name alone already implied the powerful
effects it had.
Austin guessed that it must be a secret method that could stimulate human potential but at the expense
of the caster's own life essence and vitality.
By using these special methods, one could increase their strength several times higher than their
normal.
But the beneficial effects would only last for a short period of time.
The downside was that the caster would suffer other damaging effects after the methods were used.
The consumed life essence and vitality wouldn't be easily restored and for the time being, one's body
would be greatly undermined.
Therefore, the methods must only be used in cases of emergency or life-threatening situations.
Given that Rafat had used one, Austin thought that he had pushed the latter to the edge.
He rubbed the tip of his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed but proud of what he did.
Despite being injured, Rafat's strength and power were still beyond any other warriors at the third level
of Energy Gathering Realm.
But Austin had managed to force him into using his last resort.
He rubbed his nose again as he stared at Rafat who was lying on the floor motionless and covered in
blood. Was he dead or just pretending?
Austin tiptoed towards the motionless Rafat. His footsteps were as light as a cat's paw.
He suddenly leaped forward fiercely and punched Rafat's chest three times.
Austin heard Rafat's bones cracked, but the latter remained lying on the ground motionless.
His nerves started to relax after he confirmed that Rafat was finally dead.
He overturned Rafat's body with a sidekick and spat at him.
"You know, we could've settled it through negotiation. But you insisted on fighting. Now, look what
happened to you. I hope you're satisfied! I told you, never underestimate your opponent!"
Austin bragged like a small man intoxicated by success.
When he was looking down at Rafat, something caught his attention.
It was a ring on Rafat's left-hand middle finger glimmering in the dim moonlight.
A space ring!
Austin recognized it immediately.
Although it looked like an ordinary ring, it had an interior space much larger than its outside
dimensions.
To use it, one must concentrate his mind to command the storage space to close or open.
The volume that a space ring could hold depended on its quality. The lowest quality could hold items
not exceeding ten cubic feet. The medium quality one could store up to one hundred cubic feet, while
the highest quality could accommodate up to ten thousand cubic feet.
Some of the best space rings could even store something as large as a mountain.
However, the best space rings came with a price. The cost of a top space ring was immeasurable,
while the low-quality space rings could also cost a lot.
Despite being the top disciple among the outer disciples, Austin could still not afford a space ring.
Part of the reason was that he devoted all his wealth into energy cultivation and skill practice, thus
didn't have spare money for anything else.
But now, Austin could get one for free.
Before him was a dead man with a space ring. What could a dead man do with a space ring anyway?
With that in mind, his eyes glimmered with evil desires. He took the ring and put it on his finger.
After looting Rafat's body, Austin was about to leave when he remembered that Denali was there.
Austin completely forgot about her when he was facing Rafat. It was on that life-threatening moment
that he had forgotten about anything else.
Denali was sitting on a corner, slumping on the pink quilt completely naked.
She was horrified and overwhelmed by embarrassment before Austin appeared. But now that Rafat
was dead, she started to relax.
When she saw Austin turned his glance at her, she smiled at her savior with gratitude.
She was still weak from fear, but she tried to stand up. However, the moment the cold night breeze
blew gently on her skin, she suddenly realized that she was completely naked.
"Don't look at me! Please turn around!"
Denali pleaded as she quickly wrapped one arm over at her breasts and the other between her thighs.
She felt so embarrassed, ashamed, and indignant.
No man had ever seen her body before. She regarded it as her most sacred property.
But only tonight, two men had already seen her naked body, although one of them was already dead.
Her face turned red in embarrassment.
But despite her pleading, the young man was still staring at her.
Denali felt as if the young man was studying her from head to toe, and who knows what was going on
in his mind.
With that thought, Denali felt angry and embarrassed at the same time. Her face was so flushed that it
almost turned purple.
"Hey you, asshole! One more look and I will squeeze your eyes out!"
Austin came to his senses when he heard Denali shout. He immediately turned around thinking to
himself, 'What the hell?
I just saved her from her assaulter. Is this what I get from saving this girl?
Besides, it's not like she hasn't been naked this whole time. I've seen her naked from the start. I don't This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
