Chapter 8 The Butterfly Effect Begins to Emerge: A True Man Measured in Seconds

Allen fled in panic for several kilometers before stopping and looking back.

Just then, Luo Qixi turned her head and looked back.

The two exchanged a glance, then turned and continued on their way.

The road is not smooth.

Allen had just come down a slope, and the middle section of the slope blocked their view of each other.

To be precise, without Poe Allen, he would still be on the run.

Whew. How dangerous! Is this God's invitation? To be honest, seeing Lokishi really made me want to accept her offer immediately. Lokishi has been traveling alone in the Kingdom of Asura for so many years. Even though she is now striving to become a Water God-level magician, after seeing my skills, she probably subconsciously wants to find a like-minded adventurer partner.

Whether it was helping her apprentice, whom she hadn't seen for years, search for their family all over the world after the Great Migration, or feigning indifference upon meeting her parents again, only to break down in tears upon learning their attitude, it all proved that Luo Qixi was essentially someone who valued close relationships. It's just that for so many years, she had been discriminated against all the way from the continent of Milis to the Central Continent because of her hair color and short stature.

That's why she always pretends to be indifferent to protect herself.

Luo Qixi can be said to be the female protagonist with the most tragic background and experiences.

Allen sighed.

The butterfly effect is beginning to show, but the system tasks still need to be pushed forward. Besides, we can't lose the pseudo-future vision. Sorry, Luo Qixi, let's wait a little longer; it's not the right time yet.

As he spoke, Allen slowly drew his sword. The instant the blade left its sheath, the hilt left his hand, and the blade rotated around his wrist around the hilt, like a butterfly in flight.

When Allen grabbed the hilt again, he had already gripped the blade in his other hand, and the blade, gleaming coldly, was held horizontally in front of him.

The tip of the knife was positioned exactly one centimeter above the skin on the inside of the left arm.

Allen looked down at the tip of the knife, his eyebrows raised, and licked his lips.

Click.

The blade pierced the skin without any resistance, and fresh blood slowly seeped out along the blade.

Without pulling the knife out of the wound, Allen frowned and muttered.

"Healing rune activated."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his magic power surge like water to the Dragon Saint Battle Qi embryonic core in his abdomen, "climbing" onto the tree-shaped magic patterns, and the trees emitted a hazy green light.

Then, as if dyed, the magic power in his body was coated with a green halo, which instantly surged up to his arms along with the magic power.

The wound healed, the broken skin covered the knife tip, and the bleeding stopped.

Allen stared intently at the wound, silently counted to nine, and quickly pulled the blade out.

Visibly, the wounds immediately stuck together, and the blood didn't even have time to flow out.

"Healing spell rune, deactivated."

Allen gently touched the fine hairs on the wound with the tip of his knife. There was only a faint white mark there. In the blink of an eye, the white mark turned into flakes of skin and was blown away by the wind, revealing the skin underneath as if it had been reborn.

He smiled with satisfaction.

The activation time is the same as the time it takes for magic to flow through the body, which is great, very fast. It can also remain active during combat, essentially like having a healing spell that doesn't require casting. Wow, what a generous system.

The therapeutic effect is no different from that of intermediate-level treatments.

The consumed magic power activates for 10 seconds, and is subject to depletion.

Allen sensed his own magical state and his expression instantly turned ugly.

大约1/10，这也太多了我的斗气内循环所需要的固定魔力消耗量也就常年保持在五分之一的消耗.我现在满魔才只有4/5的状态.该死，这一发维持10秒的治疗术所损耗的魔力量几乎要花费我一百天的时间来恢复。

Allen's mana consumption is the same as Orstide's, and his recovery rate is 1000:1.

In other words, while an ordinary person can fully recover their magic power with one good night's sleep, he would need a thousand sleeps to do so. That's why the system calls this growth path the Swordsman's Path, because it essentially eliminates the possibility of Allen occasionally unleashing a water cannon between sword swings.

The other path for a magician is basically a copy of Rudeus's growth trajectory. The body cannot be bound by battle aura, so one must follow the path of a melee mage who uses magical armor.

It's worth mentioning that the system is copied from the existing characters in Musou Tensei. The Swordsman's Path is taken from Orsteed, and the Magician's Path is taken from Laplace. It is foreseeable that by completing both paths, one can become a complete replica of these two characters.

Of course, this will take a very, very long time, and it is highly unlikely to be achieved without breaking through the lifespan limit.

Allen had previously analyzed the mission template and determined that it might be related to the phone embedded in his forehead before he transmigrated. At the time of his death, his phone only contained the novel "Mushoku Tensei". If he had stored more novels on his phone, he might have been able to bring in character templates from other novels' worldviews.

It's a pity, but what's done is done. We can only face reality and accept it. After all, this is just a hypothesis. Even if other novels were saved, it doesn't necessarily mean there would be more character templates to choose from.

If the system doesn't collect novel information, but instead randomly selects all the entertainment files on the entire phone, resulting in some strange template being mixed in, that would be a real problem.

After all, nobody wants the Makoto Ito template, right? The progression to having his head cut off by Alice during his teenage tutoring period and then having to carry his head on a boat to sea is just too ridiculous.

Allen exhaled, "looked" at the Dragon Saint Battle Qi embryonic core in his abdomen, and moved the tip of the knife down, cutting into his skin.

Hopefully, the buff that reduces mana loss from Dragon Saint's Battle Aura can stack with this healing buff. If they can't stack, immediately turn off the magic runes.

The Dragon Saint Battle Aura Core and the Healing Magic Rune are activated simultaneously.

With high-quality battle aura surrounding him, Allen overloaded his five senses once again, allowing him to truly and realistically perceive the changes occurring within his body:

Then, a miraculous scene unfolded. The magic runes began to beat slowly, like a heart, and streams of magic power within Allen's body were drawn in like liquid and then expelled to his limbs and bones.

I didn't feel any extra loss of Dragon Saint Battle Aura. It's possible that the magic runes are on the Dragon Saint Battle Aura core itself, so I can directly use the core as a medium to extract magic power and enjoy the buff of reduced magic power loss, without any extra depletion of Dragon Saint Battle Aura.

The rate at which magic power is depleted has slowed down significantly.

Similarly, after counting to nine, he pulled out the blade. This time it was a bit difficult because his fighting spirit was wrapped around his wound, and the muscles and tendons tightly wrapped around the tip of the blade.

Seeing the wound heal rapidly, Allen immediately stopped the healing spell.

The Dragon Saint Battle Aura Core remains in use because the magic power loss was relatively small this time, and it needs the enhancement of the Dragon Saint Battle Aura to 'see' clearly.

There is no difference in the effective time. Dragon Saint Battle Aura does not provide any additional boost to healing spell runes, nor does it increase the healing efficacy.

The mana consumed in 10 seconds is 1/50th of the body's full mana, meaning that the mana recovered in a day can be used for 0.5 seconds. However, a full use of a healing spell will restore the lost mana in a few days, and if used one time at a time, it is acceptable and can basically be self-sufficient.

If the battle continues, my battle aura constantly requires one-fifth of my magic power to circulate internally. Under extreme conditions, I can spare the remaining four-fifths to maintain a continuous battle for 400 seconds, which can be converted to minutes by dividing by 60.

Tomorrow I'll meet Rudy's family and advance Rudy's affection level; things will get interesting.

However, the overall storyline during his childhood was too peaceful. To verify Eren's strength, a more intense conflict is needed, which will be triggered by a chain reaction of events brought about by Eren and Roxie.
