Chapter 1668: A Dire Thought



<Ding!>

<You have escaped capture!>

<You have received 15 points>

Ning read the notification but barely had any mental prowess at the moment to go through it. All he could do was let his entire body weight fall on Shara, who was helping him walk to the city.

Shara looked around, conscious of every other person who walked toward them or by them. She looked so very troubled that anyone who noticed her would immediately stop her to ask what had happened. Not to mention Ning with his missing arm.

Thankfully, both of them were completely invisible at the moment and would be for the next 12 hours.

Ning had used the scroll of Minor Teleportation to escape away from where they had been. If he hadn't used that, he didn't believe he could get out of that enclosure.

Once they had teleported 50 meters away from the battleground, Ning had immediately used the Scroll of Invisibility as well, which had allowed him to not be found by the many soldiers that had nearly come to where they had been.

It had been half an hour since then and they had made their way back to the town.

Ning ended up spending 25 of the 30 points he had received from learning what Shara was and killing the Earl to just escape.

Thankfully, escaping had given him another good chunk of points.

'I need to heal,' he thought. The Lesser healing potion cost 5 points. He needed to consume that when he could.

But his mind... his mind was so cloudy right now. It was so difficult to think about anything straight.

Because all of the adrenaline Ning had been feeling the entire time had gone from his system now that the danger had passed away, his body felt limp and the pain was mind-consuming.

He was barely keeping himself awake by sheer willpower. He knew he could not fall unconscious right now. Not when neither of the two of them were safe just yet.

Shara continued walking. She wasn't hurt during the battle, but she had trouble helping Ning move this far away. She used Ning's spear to help with the journey.

They arrived at the city, the broken wall of the place that had once been very fortified allowed for people to enter and exit without much checking.

She stood up, pulling Ning up with her with the help of the spear, and walked forward.

As soon as she took a step forward, a man walked out of the shop, directly walking into them. 'No!' Shara thought. They were going to collide. They were going to be noticed.

NO!

The man walked onto them... and then through them, not noticing that he had come across two people.

Shara paused for a long second. 'How...?' she thought, not understanding the situation. But the answer came to her just about as quickly.

This wasn't the first time something had passed through her. No, this was the same thing that had happened when that man had tried to kill her with the sword.

She hadn't seen exactly what had happened, but the sword had passed right through her.

She had made it so things went right through her.

'I did this?' she thought, confused at the moment. 'Is this my power?'

Her power was supposed to be the ability to create ice, wasn't it?

'No, I ran out,' she thought. She had used her power on instinct when she had to kill that man

who had nearly got her.

Then she had run out and seen those corpses. They had tried to take her and...

'And I absorbed their energy. I lost all my energy and gained more. So... I gained a new power,

didn't I?' she thought.

She had never thought that she was going to get a new power. This was... great.

A power to make not just herself but Ning pass right through things.

"I will save us, Ning," she said softly, feeling the motivation to survive grow inside of her. "I won't let you die."
