System: I scanned Michael and currently he doesn't have a heart.
"Huh? What do you an by that?" Fein pulled the white blanket over Michael and saw a large hole in his chest.
System: Performing an analysis. Please wait for the result.
"What did they do to Michael?" Seeing that it will take ti for the system to analyze. Fein shifted his attention to Kidd, who was currently writhing on the ground in pain. His expression was pale and distorted as he was bathed in his blood.
Then Fein took out a syringe in his hand and injected it into Kidd. "With this, you won't be able to elentalize your body to light. This is the item I made just to restrain enemies like you who can elentalize. You're a perfect subject to test if it's effective."
Kidd coughed a mouthful of blood and squeezed a smile weakly. 'I didn't expect that he won't kill directly.'
Though Kidd knew that Fein would really kill him if they sohow et next ti. He could feel it. He could feel the seriousness in his voice.
"The Laughing Phantom ranked ninety-one attacked Michael on the back with a lava fist. The lava fist went through Michael's chest, as you can see from the hole in his chest."
DING!
System: The analysis is complete. Michael forcefully sent his heart to the Shadow Dinsion.
Fein was taken aback as he heard the system's analysis.
"In that dinsion, Michael can't access the shadow dinsion?"
Fein asked Kidd for confirmation. If Michael had really sent his heart to the shadow realm, that ans...
Kidd didn't know how Fein cos up with his guess but he just nodded.
'Hmmmm... So Michael successfully sent his heart into the shadow dinsion by forcing it?? And he managed to do it before the opponent's lava fist hit his heart? Damn! As expected of Michael!' Such a complicated series of operations made Fein dumb for a while.
There's also an elent of luck to it. Fein pondered for a while, his heart pounded wildly, and then asked his system. 'System, how did Michael send his heart to the shadow dinsion if he can't access it? And can he still live?'
DING!
System: That's a dumb question. The artifact that the Laughing Phantoms used to isolate Michael didn't hundred percent deny him access to the shadow dinsion. It only interfered and offered a strong resistance... That ans, Michael can't go to the shadow dinsion, but he can still send a small part of his body. But doing so still requires good control of energy.
'So that's it...' Fein finally understood the principle.
Simply, the isolated dinsion prevented Michael from sending his whole body, but it didn't prevent him from sending a small part. For example, Michael could still send his hair or finger in the shadow dinsion.
System: As for the host's last question. Yes, Michael could still survive. The host only needs to store Michael's body in the system's storage space, where ti is still. So his corpse doesn't rot and prevent the loss of blood. Finally, the host only needs to access the shadow dinsion, go there, and retrieve Michael's heart. With that, the host can find an A-rank healer that could reattach Michael's heart.
'You're really the best system!' Fein smirked and laughed heartily as he heard the system's reasonable analysis.
'Now, how can I go to the shadow dinsion??' Fein scratched his chin. After a few minutes, his eyes lit up. 'Damn, isn't this easy? I just need to level up my understanding of the law of shadows! Then, I can create an elental technique to access the shadow realm!'
Fein couldn't help but praise his genius brain. With that, Michael's body disappeared out of thin air as he stored it in the system's storage.
Then, he glanced at Kidd, who was on the verge of death. Yeah, he will leave Kidd in this state in the middle of the forest.
Fein decided to give Kidd one last chance but also severed the friendship they had. Next ti, Kidd would be his enemy and rcy would be out of his dictionary at that ti.
Though, it depends on Kidd if he can survive limbless while suffering blood loss in the depths of the Death Forest, where a dangerous monster lurks. Kidd could only end in three ways now. He would either survive, die with blood loss, or beco food for monsters. Although Fein didn't kill Kidd, he literally leaves him half-dead in a dangerous environnt.
"Your survival now depends on luck, traitor..." Fein said, then he disappeared in his place.
Kidd looked around the forest. It was eerie and quiet. Blood and body parts strewn on the ground and trees made the scene extrely terrifying. 'This is my retribution. But I have to live. Their survival depends on my life.'
Drops of tears co out of his eyes as the image of his father, mother, and sister appeared in his mind. He couldn't go against Niki's will since his family was at Niki's hand.
Kidd felt guilty and powerless. He doesn't want to betray his friends, but his family's life was on the line! He didn't have a choice.
Suddenly, Kidd felt the multiple presences of monsters. As Fein had already left, the deterrent aura already faded. Now the monsters had taken the opportunity to see what had happened.
'Shit, they are all B ranks...' Kidd tried to crawl, but he couldn't.
How does he supposed to fight the B-rank monsters in his current state?
Kidd felt the monsters get nearer and nearer. He could hear multiple footsteps and the roar that made his scalp tingle.
Fortunately, although he doesn't have his fist to punch or feet to kick. His degu energy capacity was still full. Enough to fend off the B-rank monsters. He just had to pray that no A rank monster would appear, or he would be absolutely dead.
Kidd began to stimulate the energy inside him. Then activated the new degu ability that he acquired after he beca an A rank.
He already tried to use elentalization, but as Fein said, his body rejected the idea of it. If he could beco a light, he would be able to reattach his arms and his feet. Unfortunately, Fein had taken all this into consideration.
'Hundred Beams!'
