Chapter 106 System Exists…



After Cyrus's little dispute with the system, he wasn't in the condition to even remain awake, much less hunt. So, he had no choice but to recuperate.

The only thing that wasn't ruined by Cyrus's suicidal spell was the elixir in the small bag, as it fell off the moment the bag disintegrated.

With difficulty, he sat down and weakly picked up the vials and opened them like a dying old man as blood streamed through his mouth with every small movement he made.

This was also evident that Cyrus was serious about blowing himself up if the System hadn't yielded.

Because he knew the system was linked with his thoughts so, only if his determination was real can the system will understand that it was important to Cyrus but Cyrus was equally important to it as well.

As for ending up in this state, Cyrus couldn't care less about it as he achieved his goal.

Cyrus poured all the elixir into his mouth before he gritted his teeth as pain attacked his entire body and eerily uttered, "H-holy Cleansing!"

A golden light suddenly enveloped his entire body before the crack on his body started to get mend, but the golden spell only lasted for three seconds before the golden light vanished.

Although the cracks were closed, they were only superficially mended as deep wounds that seemed barely closed were now all over Cyrus's body.

'What a trash medicine. Even with Holy Cleansing purification, it only healed 2% of my wounds. I need to kill to fully recover…' Cyrus's eyes shone like sharp blades as he stood up, and his body was now completely naked.

But he couldn't care less about clothing right at this moment as his Qi were almost exhausted, and he only had enough to make some Qi arrows, not clothe. He knew as long as he killed, he would get SP which had a recovery effect on him. That is why he took such a huge risk in the first place.

However, the problem was he could barely walk, much less kill someone, and he knew the moment he made some excessive moves, the cracks over his body would burst open, and he might really end up dead.

He looked at the puddle of his own blood, and the potent smell of blood was lingering in the air, and he thought with a scary look in his eyes, 'Since this place is filled with Green Goblins, then I don't need to do much and just lay in wait.'

Taking difficult steps, Cyrus approached a thick tree five meters away from his blood puddle and hid behind it while peaking at the location. He was also vigilant of his front, but right now, he would prefer not to have a frontal confrontation.

The Green Goblins were the lowest subspecies among the Goblin Race, as they were extremely ruthless toward anyone who wasn't from the Green Goblin Race, even their own subspecies.

It was either kill or get kill or them whenever they confronted a foreigner and weren't rational like their higher-level brethren.

They were also live in primitive conditions in small tribal villages, ate raw meat of anything, and only knew how to collect resources or reproduce. Their numbers can increase like cockroaches, and they hunt in packs.

A goblin's sense of smell was as sharp as a dog, and they could smell blood from hundreds of meters away as long as it was the blood of their prey, and Cyrus was counting on this exact ability!

Cyrus didn't have to wait long either, as only five minutes passed, and he heard some movements from the left side of the gully. His breath almost vanished as he peeked from behind the tree.

Three 4 feet tall green humanoid monsters crept out from the woods. They had monstrous faces with long knife-like fat noses, beastly green eyes, pointy ears, sharp teeth growing out of their mouths, and bald heads with only a small patch of brown hair around their foreheads. They only covered their private part with leafy wear and held crudely made wooden spears.

Cyrus easily recognized them as they were really the green goblins he was familiar with, and they were clearly drawn here by the smell of his blood.

Those four goblins' vicious eyes shone with cruelty as they looked at blood and started to sniff around, and their eyes started to turn around toward the tree where Cyrus was hiding.

However, just as they made Cyrus's position clear, they suddenly saw four crimson arrows flying toward them at a terrifying speed. Before any of them could react, their eyes were penetrated by those arrows!

They were dead before they could even react, and their bodies started to vanish one after another!

Cyrus saw all particles entering his body, and he felt warmth as his wounds started to get sealed even more tightly.

His recovery process only lasted for a second or so before the particles were completely absorbed, but he felt a lot better than a moment ago, 'At least it's better than that trash medicine…'

Cyrus sighed as his pain lessened, but he still wasn't out of the woods, not by a long shot, so he continued to keep his position.

Thereupon, another group of goblins crept out from the southwest side, and this time they were 5 of them.

Cyrus waited until they were in his absolute death zone, he wanted to kill all of them in one shot like the last group as it would waste minimum Qi, and his recovery would be fast.

Those guys are also drawn by the blood smell, and when they were searching for the source of the blood, fire arrows were already upon them!

This time, the cracks on his body started to fill up, but only vaguely, as he needed more SP. But his Qi was 4% recovered which was far better than anything Cyrus could ask for. The more Qi he had, the quicker he could recover, especially if he had enough to cast multiple healing spells.

'Finally, I can breathe without feeling pain…' Cyrus sighed as he felt better about standing against the system when he saw all his wounds were healing, which shouldn't be possible for one or two months.

Because he released pure mortal grade death Qi on his own body without any protection and anything touched or corroded by death Qi didn't have a sound ending.

Yet, with SP, his wounds were healing even faster than Holy medicines filled with life.

The system was extremely miraculous, and that's why Cyrus didn't want to lose his control over it and absolutely did not want to get controlled by it.

However, he was not strong enough to take full control over it, but he knew he was more than qualified to keep himself in a position where he couldn't be controlled.

Although the system clearly stated the punishment and time part was for the purpose of his growth, it still became a sore spot in Cyrus's heart that it tried to inflict punishment and control his actions.

Unless he now had absolute control of the system proved that itself, he would always be vigilant of it.

Still, it didn't mean he would throw his own growth just because of a small incident with his own cultivation technique. Since it changed its so-called protocol for him, he at least knows that the system wants to keep him alive, and it can't do anything if he wants to commit suicide.

After Cyrus was free from most of his pain, he asked the system coldly, "Now, tell me, since there is no more time or punishment, will the limitation on the dimension also be removed, or does it still exist?

"And I want a sound reason, not just silence. If you are bound by your protocols or my power boundaries, that I can understand, but I want the confirmation in words, not in silence. If you want me to trust you again, you need to make me at least understand why you can't open your mouth!"

"[The Lust Sword Quest is not changed despite the protocols of time and punishment has been removed!]

"[The system is still in its initial state, or the User can call this state Mortal State, and it will grow with the User. The system's abilities are unknown, which even the system didn't know about.]

"[User can think of it as a sealed knowledge trove which will be opened up when the User completes certain conditions or ask certain questions. Even then, the system can only drop clues and let the User solve the rest of the puzzle.]

"[Only then can User grow to his full potential. The system only exists to make sure the User won't lead astray and follow the path that leads to the Unknown, which hadn't been explored by any being in existence!]"
