After mastering the resurrection technique, they begged me to extend their lives.

Chapter 79 The Dragon Mother's Echo: The Master-Slave Relationship Will Never End

The storm passed overnight.

That night, no one in the mansion could sleep peacefully.

Everyone was listening intently, waiting for any news from inside Stardust Harbor.

Crackling, crackling, a little crow flapped its wings and landed on the magical birdcage in the large penthouse, chirping, "Master, Master! Little An has gathered intelligence! I bravely risked my life to gather information for you!"

"----you say."

An Xiao sat up from the soft bed and moved the "magic stone" and "personal guard" to the left and right sides.

On the other side, Miss Hela, who shared a bed with the big cat, rubbed her eyes and immediately came over to listen intently.

"Xiao An watched the whole thing! Here's what happened: the alarm came from the direction of the chapel!"

"While Little Darkness was circling above the church, Star Spirit had already raised its scythe and slashed at a target! It had locked onto the violator!"

"Xiao An looked closely and saw that the target was a woman! And she was wearing a nun's habit!"

"!"

""

Everyone was startled upon hearing this!

nun's habit?

LV70+?

There has never been such a powerful being inside Stardust Harbor.

At An Xiao's prompting, the crow took a breath and continued chirping, "But it happened so suddenly, I didn't even see what was going on before I heard a bang! Xing Ren's plaster head fell off its neck!"

"what?"

"You know, it uses the skill 'Harvest Slash'! This move will instantly 'harvest' any enemy with a defense below 750! But—"

'

"750————"

An Xiao roughly knew that this value was equivalent to the base attribute value of plate armor classes at around LV70 in the combat system of the Wayne Continent. As for leather armor and cloth armor classes, they didn't even reach half of that.

If such an intense attack not only fails to defeat the opponent but also results in being subdued in one blow, it can only mean one thing: the enemy's abilities far exceed the golem's by at least one class level, that is, at least level 10 or higher, and will only be higher than imagined.

"That's right, Xingren's head fell off in a flash! I just felt something very dark flash before my eyes, and then I heard the goblin guards shouting, and a whole bunch of them rushed into the church."

Xiao An spoke faster, clearly still shaken by the dangerous scene that had just unfolded.

"The moment the Golden Scales team arrived at the scene, the headless plaster statue stood motionless in the center of the garden."

The woman who committed the crime has also disappeared.

Alas, the guards then searched all the rooms and finally found a shriveled corpse in the confessional.

"

'

An Xiao frowned.

"A corpse, whose corpse?"

"The coroner said it looked like the body of a warrior from the Alevant Empire. There was dried blood all around the body."

'

""

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

An Xiao took a deep breath and pressed on, "Did you tell me your name?"

"no."

"Where's the sickle?"

"Eh?"

"The golem's scythe weapon."

"Oh—that—that seems to be gone too." Xiao An tried hard to recall, "After the statue's head fell off, it was caught in the woman's hand, and then I couldn't see anything anymore—"

'

'

.

An Xiao concluded, "She took it from me?"

"Yes, Master. Compared to the enormous Star Spirit, the scythe is probably the most valuable. I see red veins on it, and the types of enchantments alone are beyond what ordinary weapons can compare to."

"OK."

An Xiao had a clue.

After a moment's thought, he summoned the women and summarized, "Based on the intelligence we have, the person who ambushed us is called Karendall. His comrade, Sean, was likely killed here. Although the threat has decreased, it doesn't mean we can stay in Stardust Harbor for long."

"The activation of the Star Formation and the theft of the weapon indicate that the troublemaker's level is likely far beyond LV75; otherwise, it would be impossible for them to take down the formation in a single encounter."

"Through Xiao An's description, a key word was mentioned—nun's habit."

"There don't seem to be any local nuns in Star Harbor. The chapel should be full of monks and priests too—"

We can confirm this with Hoshimi tomorrow.

An Xiao analyzed, "If that's the case, then we can pinpoint the target's true identity to a specific person."

Airi: "Miss Katarina—"

Hino: "No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem like that kind of person—I remember Galatin doesn't allow clergy to engage in killing—"

Hela: "LV75, which is equivalent to being second only to my mentor. I remember last time I asked my mentor what level she had reached, she said that next year I could try to reach the Sage rank —"

"Um."

An Xiao was silent for a moment, then pondered, "That scythe is something I've got my eye on. If she really did take it and leave, it's like she cut off one of my skill experience points. But there's nothing we can do about it right now."

Compared to humans, beasts, demi-humans, and other types, "spirits" are clearly something that can only be encountered by chance.

Even with enough Mana points to grind experience, weapons with spirits are extremely rare on this continent; at least before level 50, they are almost impossible to obtain.

"Alright, let's go to the dock tomorrow."

"Master, are we leaving?"

"Yes, the portal here is one-way, connecting to another property of Mentor Gray Mist, the exact location of which is unknown. She has also explained all the homework she assigned me, and I plan to start working on it when I get to Endedes."

An Xiao planned, "Then Xiao An, tomorrow you fly to Radel Jungle, find Nivea, and have her take the little eagles who are willing to come with me to tidy up the stronghold and wait for me at the riverside spot by the forest. I will have Xing Mi stop there after setting sail to pick them up, and we'll travel together."

"As for Stardust Harbor, we will return sooner or later. After all, Avina is still waiting for me, and I do not have the ability to resurrect her right now. Once my creation rank is raised in Endedes, I will return one day to fulfill the promise I made to her."

"!"

""

The women exchanged glances, and none of them objected to An Xiao's arrangement.

"Is there anything here that you can't bear to part with?"

At the end of the meeting, An Xiao looked around at the women.

"No, boss. What's mine is yours, and what's yours is still yours. We're from the same school and teammates, like the left and right arms of each other. We're so close we could sleep in the same bed together."

So from now on, wherever you go, I'll go. I don't plan to be separated from you. Anyway, if something happens to me, the boss can get me back on my feet! I can still protect you!

Hela smiled brightly, seemingly half-joking, but only An Xiao knew that she wasn't just talking nonsense.

She stood in front of him during two life-threatening crises. No matter the outcome, her heart is enough to prove everything.

"I received it."

An Xiao looked serious.

He looked at Xinuo.

"I am the first creation to be awakened by my master, so my sole purpose for the rest of my life will be to protect my master; everything else is unimportant."

Hino spoke with conviction, showing no signs of unease.

Having been resurrected twice and witnessed the debut of the resurrection spell, Xinuo's position among all the creations is unshakeable.

"it is good."

An Xiao nodded, then looked at Airi.

"Although I want my older brother to help me more, I know that I can't be too ambitious. I'm willing to wait for my older brother to become the strongest. Right now, I just want to maintain a normal brother-sister relationship with him."

"Can."

Gazing at Ai Zhe Li's pure and innocent face, An Xiao wasn't sure what kind of relationship she was referring to, but as long as it was within her power, it was fine.

Next up is Vita.

Vita Channel: [A cat that will be its master's mount for life.]

The big cat is innocent and harmless; you wouldn't notice anything strange about it without checking its affection level.

"Alright then."

After confirming everyone's gazes, An Xiao turned to Crow Xiao An, suddenly reached out her hand, and lifted her up.

Little Darkness: "What's wrong, Master! What's wrong with me! I'm also a good, spirited bird willing to follow you!"

"Nothing much, just realizing the time is almost up. Today, I'm going to test two spells on you—'Beast Synchronization' and 'Life Extension Charm.' Are you ready?"

"?! Life extension!"

"Hmm. The former is a reward for you going a long way to deliver the message for me and accidentally attracting the Gray Mist's true form to capture me as a disciple, while the latter is a spell I promised you."

"?!"

An Xiao said no more and led her directly to the luxurious wooden table in the room, while also taking a tablecloth.

"Master, are you going to eat Little Dark? Even if the spell fails and I turn into a roasted crow, Little Dark won't blame you! I'm already satisfied with having so many extra days of freedom," "Shut your beak."

Without saying much, An Xiao ruffled the little head of the dramatic crow and began casting a spell.

Everyone present was quite interested in his divine magic.

Everyone gathered around the table, watching his actions intently.

Unlike "resurrection spell".

The effect of the "Life Extension Spell" is clearly stated in the panel: "Extends the lifespan of a 'creation,' initially 15 days for humans and double for beasts, with adjustments made flexibly based on the attributes and level of the resurrected object."

"Basic Mana cost is 100 units. Only applies to targets that have already been resurrected; targets that have died more than twice cannot be resurrected."

Side effects: Depletion of mana, thirst, physical exhaustion, mental distress, 3-day cooldown, cannot be used continuously. Upgrades can shorten the cooldown time.

Note: If the resurrected die, all creation will be annihilated in an instant.

Too many demands should be treated with caution.

Moreover, it is clearly stated between the lines that low-value creations have no meaning in prolonging life.

Correspondingly, advanced creations need to weigh their own mana reserves against safety risks.

[As expected, divine magic cannot be used casually or without reason.]

[Sino has plenty of time, and Vita isn't in a hurry. But Airi seems to be the next creation that needs my life extended.]

[Once the experiment on Xiao An is successful, I might need to pre-cut and reserve Mana in case the entire team can survive.]

As for the newest creation—Nivea—she must also be included in the list of life-extending spells.

She led her eaglets into battle for me, sacrificing her life. Though I cannot save everyone, I have promised them a better tomorrow for the harpies.

The eaglets that had previously experienced a "last gasp" did not immediately turn into drifting catkins.

Instead, after everyone nodded in agreement, Yu Anxiao's "sacrifice contract" transformed into a new Mana, which flowed back into his body.

In their words, "If this will help our tribe prosper, then we've done our part! Hehe! We trust our new masters!"

"New master" is what the eaglets call themselves.

An Xiao didn't say that the being she "sacrificed" might be "genetically summoned" back in the distant future, within a skill attribute buried in the shadows.

In other words.

Every drop of mana formed from the essence of creation flowing within me will be restored to its original state on the day my divine magic is perfected.

"Sacrifice is not sacrifice, but the creation of another kind of value."

In Alessandra's echo, it was said that...

The dark purple magic ring glowed, and Mana transformed into a ghostly green light.

At this moment, a kind of "life energy" that had been extremely concentrated was injected into the tiny body of the crow.

Xiao An coughed up white fluid and rolled his eyes back.

Lying on the operating table, she was immediately overwhelmed by this intense energy and fainted.
