Not this again!

I guess I get what I deserved.

Not only did I a.s.similate an insane amount of energy without refining it prior to the fact, I even overstretched my mana capacity with the use of the items! It"s no wonder it happens to me now!

But what"s worst, I have no way of increasing my const.i.tution or anything to fight this problem off! There is no d.a.m.n way I could level up some insane amount of times to upgrade the system, and even if I was able to, just the upgrading takes long enough for me to just die from the poisoning!

Auch!

Looking at the source of the new pain, I raised my hand to my eyes, only to see a small, short cut with a black substance oozing out of it.

f.u.c.k, when did I get cut like that?

ARGH!

While still looking at my hand, the wound suddenly expanded for more than twice its size, almost making me lose control over my flight spell and plummeting down from the air. 

This pain is already at the level of the torture that I went through just a moment ago, and it only started now!

d.a.m.n it! I need to do something!

Right, don"t I have the healing ability?

Bonger, I want to repet.i.tively and continuously cast my healing!

"Blop!"

"On it!"

"Blop!"

"I told you! Next time, listen to my d.a.m.n warnings!"

"What a stupid host…"

For the love of the benevolent G.o.d! Every time a slightly greater amount of energy comes into the play, this d.a.m.ned Bonger is turning more and more annoying!

But all that matters, for now, is that even with how small the effects of the healing were, by spamming it without any regard for the mana, I was somehow able to close the wound and stop this strange liquid from spilling out of my cuts.

"Blop!"

"Casting the Healing spell has failed."

Wait, what?

"Blop!"

"Casting the Healing spell has failed."

Seriously, give me a f.u.c.king moment! What the h.e.l.l is going on? My wounds are closing as we speak, but you are telling me that the healing failed?

"Blop!"

"Casting the Healing spell has failed."

This time, this notification sounded as if an entire chorus of Bongers said it at the same time. The only upside to the repet.i.tion is that instead of making me deaf to everything else, the sound notifications turned into a single flas.h.i.+ng window. What worried me though, was a single number in the upper right corner of this popup, that continued to grow at an astounding rate!

If my memory is not cheating me, this has happened to me before, after I got the postal tool for the system. I guess this number means how many this notification would appear in front of my eyes, if not for being stacked into a single file!

Looking at the seven hundred, twenty-eight that in a manner of seconds turned into more than a thousand, I really started to worry.

But it"s not a time and place to lament over my current situation! 

Taking another look at the barrier above my head, I could see a big, fractured hole, that was slowly growing. 

Judging the speed of the degradation of this protective spell, it would take a long while before it would let me just pa.s.s through to join Eve. I have no other option than to use the opening that already exists and just fly around!

FLIGHT!

Yep, just like  I thought, there is no way I would be able to fly when those weird things are happening to me. I guess I have to go back to using the surefire method of raiding the d.a.m.ned explosions!

Despite my body itching all over with insane amounts of wounds opening and closing up with every pa.s.sing second, I moved closer to the far edge of the arena, so that my trajectory would be a bit simpler.

Shockwave.

Strange, despite still holding the mage"s stick that should void all the cast times for the tier one spells, nothing happened!

Shockwave.

Still nothing.

d.a.m.n! 

I was so excited that I forgot to cast a d.a.m.n barrier to at least protect myself a bit from the damage! With my current state, I guess a single shockwave would be enough to blast away my consciousness and put an end to the legendary tale of a stupid mage in a cultivation world!

Barrier.

This time, the spell somehow worked.

Just to make sure, I cast several more of them, some of which sadly failed to appear. With this part done, I continued to shout "shockwave" in my mind, until I finally felt my body rising into the air.

I guess that"s what people call a blessing in disguise!

As I continued to rise, I saw how devastated the Katenaris Lodges were after my sunflare blasted it into nothingness. That"s what they get for f.u.c.king with me!

I guess that"s what people call overconfidence then…

Just as I rose above the slowly shrinking barrier, I felt a powerful punch right in my guts.

Yeah, I didn"t even see it, only felt as I plummeted back to the ground with speed far greater than even my weak shockwave could provide!

It was only thanks to the multiple barriers that I cast around myself that this single attack didn"t separate everything below my pelvis away from the upper part of my body. Can you imagine it? A blunt hit strong enough to split not only a human but a d.a.m.n overpowered cultivator with a f.u.c.king system in half?

Crash.

Despite all the barriers, I still saw the world darkening when I hit the ground. It was already a miracle that I didn"t die from the sheer force of impact! 

"Just who the h.e.l.l are you? Or rather, what are you?"

f.u.c.k.

My entire body trembled. 

Already accustomed to the constant pain thanks to the entropy erosion happening all over my body, just a lethal hit like that was far from enough to make me shudder like that, but just the power behind the voice of the person that appeared in front of me made my brain tremble in terror.

"Actually, f.u.c.k it. You need to die right here and now."

"Blop!"

"Detecting an emergency situation!"

"System enters autopilot mode!"

"Rebooting the system!"

"Autopilot activated!"
