I'm Here, So You Won't Die! (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader 'Nilan Xuanzhen')

"No, I have to find a way to open this Bronze Door."

For both emotional and rational reasons, Rein did not want to see Canossa die behind the Bronze Door in front of him.

His eyes darted across the Bronze Door, searching for clues, when suddenly he had an idea and issued a task to the Mind Core program.

[Mind Core! Search for clues that can open this door.]

A moment later, the system provided feedback.

[Ding! Detection complete. Password 99%, the remaining 1% will be automatically searched for by the system.]

[Ding! The passwords are as follows: 'Great Morogos God above.' 95%, 'Exalted XXX' 83%, 'My Lord above.' 71%]

[Bite!.]

The Mind Core reacted extremely quickly, almost in a second, sorting out all the possible passwords that Rein had ever encountered in the Monkell Civilization that could be used to open doors according to their probability.

Tens of thousands of possibilities are scattered throughout the database, and increasingly complex "passwords" are constantly being derived and generated.

Without any delay, Rein stood at the Bronze Door and began trying again and again!

No response!

No response!

Still no response!

The more times he failed, the more beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

The system will automatically select the optimal sorting, which means that if the previous "passwords" are all wrong, the chances of the later ones being correct will become smaller and smaller.

"No, something must have gone wrong somewhere. If this continues, we'll never be able to open the door!"

While he mechanically recited the words on his retina in "Monkel Ancient Language," his mind was racing.

"Don't rush, think calmly."

"Since the system has determined there's a 99% chance it's a password, then the method is probably correct."

"But the door isn't open now, which means something went wrong somewhere."

"The system's intelligent 'password' won't malfunction. If the door didn't open, it's either for some other reason or something beyond the system's processing power."

"."

In that instant, he analyzed and eliminated all the possibilities in his mind.

Suddenly, he thought of something!

"That's right, things that aren't detected by the system!"

Suddenly, something popped into Rein's mind.

Whether it's a pattern, text, or anything else, the "Mind Core" can automatically recognize it, but it can't understand "meaning"!

"Meaning? Password?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Rein's mind, "That's it... Ancient Demon Language!"

Thinking of this, he stopped without hesitation.

Clearing his throat, Rein stopped reciting the opening command in Monkel Ancient Language and instead began reciting the command in a low, hoarse voice.

They were clearly using the "Ancient Demon Language"!

As soon as the first command was given, the familiar sound of gears and springs rang out again, and the bronze gate slowly cracked open a crack once more!

Rein was overjoyed. "It's done!"

Just like a computer's "administrator password" has higher privileges than a regular "user password," the Ancient Demon Language clearly has higher privileges!

He also realized that Canossa must have triggered some special restriction by stepping onto the altar steps, which caused the previous "password" to become invalid.

Before they could think any further, two breaths later, the bronze gate had opened wide enough for a person to turn around.

Looking through the crack, Rein saw that the situation inside was extremely bad!

The golden figure hastily defended herself, barely having any strength left to attack. She was bounced around like a ball by the eight gargoyles.

Even now that the Bronze Door has been opened, Lady Canossa has no strength left to break through the siege of the eight gargoyles.

Rein knew his current strength; blindly rushing in would probably not even withstand a punch from that gargoyle. Trying to save Canossa by force was simply wishful thinking!

At that moment, the "Mind Core" automatically searched and sorted out all the keywords related to gargoyles.

Then, Rein saw on his retina a sentence he had previously seen on the mural.

The Hell Gargoyle guarding the temple only obey the commands of the demon god.

What was initially thought to be just a narration now seems to be the key to breaking the deadlock, according to Rein.

It's the only chance to save them!

Without a second thought, he shouted without hesitation, "Stop!"

This sentence was also written in the Ancient Demon Language.

At that shout, the eight gargoyles froze in place, like robots whose pause button had been pressed.

When Rein saw it, he was overjoyed!

Even without further attacks, the golden figure on the altar was powerless to escape. Instead, because of those words, she relaxed, her long-held tension dissipating, and her golden battle aura suddenly vanished, leaving her completely limp.

Rein shouted again, "Go back to the pillar!"

This time, the eight gargoyles understood the "command" again. They flapped their wings and flew away without hesitation, squatting back on the eight legs they had been standing on before. The blood-red light in their eyes dimmed, and they returned to their stone sculpture forms once more.

"These gargoyles actually obey Demonic Language commands!"

Before he could even be surprised, Rein rushed into the temple.

This time, after he tentatively climbed the steps, the gargoyles showed no intention of attacking him. They remained motionless on the stone pillars, coldly observing everything in the temple.

"Mrs. Canossa, how are you!"

There was no response.

Rein rushed to Canossa, who had turned into a bloody mess, and checked her breathing. Although she was still breathing, her physical condition was terrible!

Her skin was burning hot, like a freshly boiled red shrimp, steaming from its surface. This was because the intense physical combat earlier had generated a large amount of heat in her body, and her imbalanced metabolic system was instinctively trying to regulate her body temperature.

Bones, meridians, nerves, skin—everything suffered severe damage.

And it gets even worse!

Not only were a large number of skeletal nerves broken by external forces, but the number of tendons and muscle fibers in the main muscle groups of the limbs that generate power was more than 70%!

Rein was a doctor, and he immediately understood what was going on after examining the patient.

The reason Canossa's strength increased dramatically from that secret technique was because she opened the "valve" of her muscles' maximum capacity, using strength beyond what her muscles could currently withstand to fight her enemy. Her muscles were torn apart by the "Monstrous Strength"!

Even the muscles near the heart are in terrible condition, like a cracked ice surface that will break apart with the slightest force.

Without delay, Rein took out a "powerful life-saving drug" and injected it into his body.

Then, I forcefully applied the [Divine Healing Technique] to her chest and brain, first protecting the wounds in these two vital areas.

Fortunately, he had learned [Divine Healing Technique] + [Thread Needle Thread], allowing for a sufficiently large and precise treatment. Otherwise, for such an injury, a typical Third Tier or Fourth Tier pure medical-type Transcendent being wouldn't even be able to save their life!

Rein's current skill level is far from reaching the level of the Great Shaman Mafat, who can instantly heal with a single move.

It took him a full fifteen minutes to repair the wounds on Canossa's heart and brain, temporarily bringing her out of danger.

Rein breathed a sigh of relief, "At least I'm safe for now."

At this moment, her heart resumed normal blood supply, her brain gradually cleared, and Canossa slowly raised her eyelids.

I'm not dead yet?

Suddenly realizing something, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

Canossa's face was deathly pale. She knew perfectly well that her body had been completely destroyed after using the secret technique. Their Claufer family's ancestral teachings clearly stated that even if one didn't die after using such a technique, their muscles would be torn apart, and their body would be utterly ruined.

Although she was somewhat surprised to see Rein by her side, the first thing she did upon waking up was to ask in alarm, "Where are those gargoyles?"

"Don't speak!"

Without pausing, Rein shouted, "Your injuries are serious. Don't distract me; it will affect the efficiency of my surgery."

Canossa was slightly surprised to see Rein focused on treating her injuries, but she knew all too well that there was no hope for her.

Even if you survive, a torn muscle will render you useless.

She said somewhat dejectedly, "No need for treatment. I know my condition."

Once the surgery began, Rein became completely focused. His mind was free of any extraneous images, except for a anatomical diagram of the human body with precisely marked muscle fibers. His task at that moment was to reconnect the severed nerves and blood vessels!

But hearing that the wounded soldier had no will to live, as a doctor, he knew he had to say something, so he added, "With me here, you won't die! Besides, your body isn't in such bad shape; your ruptured muscles are still quite resilient and will fully recover after being set. Although it will take a long time, I'm confident I can set it for you successfully."

He paused, his tone devoid of emotion, and then sternly ordered again, "Shut up!"

"."

Canossa was stunned by the reprimand and looked at the young doctor's focused profile with some surprise.

Her body was almost numb; the severed nerves couldn't even transmit pain. But the spot where Rein's hand touched gave her a slight cool, tingling sensation.

She knew very well that it was the tingling sensation of cells rapidly dividing, healing wounds, and regenerating muscles!

"Huh, is this a healing spell?"

Canossa then realized that Rein's healing technique was very peculiar. Although the amount of healing did not seem large, it was as if there were tiny threads of energy coursing through her body.

Then, wherever it passed, it felt cool and refreshing, tingling and numb – a healing sensation that made the body instinctively feel comfortable!

"Isn't he a surgeon? How come he knows magic healing techniques? But wait, that's lightning-based battle aura."

Canossa clearly recognized the slight numbing sensation as being caused by battle aura.

A Surgeon Sequence fighter who also possesses healing abilities?

Canossa suddenly felt she couldn't understand it.

"You"

At this moment, she wanted to ask something.

But before she could even speak, she immediately recalled the two times she had been scolded and sent back.

She sighed inwardly: He's as serious as that old man.

Seemingly remembering something, Canossa didn't intend to speak anymore. She took Rein's words as comforting words and didn't take them to heart.

She was well aware of the aftereffects of the family's secret technique. Torn muscle fibers could never be fully restored, neither through Healing Spell nor surgery.

Living an ordinary life in the future might be fine; but for someone who pursues the Transcendent and supreme, it would be "crippled".

It was so close, but we lost here. It's really disheartening.

But to die like this is truly something I'm not entirely willing to accept.

Canossa's mind was filled with conflicting thoughts, and she felt exhausted, so she decided to stop thinking about it.

She looked at Rein, who was focused on the surgery, and her gaze became complicated. Seeing his serious and determined look, some past events gradually surfaced in her mind.

Now that you're going to be a cripple, do you regret it?

No, she has no regrets!

Canossa's eyes were bloodshot from the severe injuries, her vision filled with crimson. But at this moment, she seemed to see that bloody scene from her childhood again.

"Canossa, your brother won't be able to protect you anymore, so you have to take good care of yourself."

"My little Canossa, you must learn to grow up and stop crying like before. You must live bravely and strongly, carrying the blessings of your mother and brother, and live well."

"Brother! Mother! Please don't die!"

"."

Canossa thought about it, her eyes welled up with tears.

Since that day, I don't think I've shed a single tear.

Ugh, this terrible mood.

She still remembers how powerless she felt when she watched her loved ones die tragically before her eyes.

"Grandpa! I will definitely become a legend someday! Please teach me the most powerful [Great Strength Demon God] secret technique!"

"Canossa, no one in our family has mastered this secret technique for hundreds of years. If you can't do it, just give up."

"No! I won't give up!"

"."

The past events are still vivid in my mind.

Even though she had long since passed the naive and impulsive stage of her youth, the belief in her heart remained unshaken.

But now, he himself has fallen just one step away.

It's such a pity.

Canossa lay there, letting Rein perform surgery on her. She looked at the gargoyles on the pillars above her head, wondering how these terrifying alchemical monsters had suddenly returned.

This little man is really brave; he actually came back to save me.

As she pondered, she felt exhausted and closed her eyes wearily.

Canossa's extraordinary willpower meant that once she regained consciousness, she was no longer prone to falling back into a deep sleep.

She just felt tired and wanted to close her eyes and rest.

But when she closed her eyes, she could feel more clearly the strange "battle qi threads" flowing through her body. They were like needles and threads, repairing her shattered body, turning it into an old garment full of patches.

This was the most relaxed moment Canossa had experienced in months.

With his tense nerves finally relaxed, he no longer cared about life or death, so he no longer had to worry about not finding the "Divine Power Crystal" or constantly be on guard against the omnipresent "Tentacle Monster" even when he was sleeping.

At this moment, she had a clearer understanding of things.

Hmm.

My health seems to be improving.

Canossa suddenly realized that her body, which had been completely numb, was gradually regaining sensation.

Those hands were roaming over my body.

It was a very professional surgical technique. First, the main nerves and meridians were repaired to prevent large-scale necrosis of her body due to poor blood circulation.

But my health is really bad.

The repair was very limited, and the "battle aura threads" with healing abilities were becoming weaker and weaker.

Finally, the young doctor stopped.

She heard a tired panting sound.

As expected, it wasn't cured.

Although it was expected, the thought of irreparably torn muscles is still incredibly disheartening.

Hearing that the surgery seemed to be over, Canossa slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at the pale-faced Rein and forced a smile, "Doctor Rein, thank you. You've done more than enough."

Rein glanced at her dejected look and guessed what she was thinking. He said irritably, "Mrs. Canossa, I already told you, I will help you fix your muscles. Don't overthink it!"

Canossa's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this, clearly taking it as him trying to comfort her.

Then, he heard Rein explain, "My current battle qi is still very weak. That kind of precise muscle fiber stitching is very taxing, and I can't sustain it for long. It will take at least a day and a night to completely reconnect all your muscles. My battle qi is almost depleted, and I need to rest."

Wait, is he serious?

Upon hearing Rein's serious tone, Canossa was taken aback.

Suddenly, she felt a surge of hope. "Are you telling the truth?"

"Yes!"

Rein nodded, knowing she didn't believe him.

However, such a terrible injury would be impossible for anyone to fully recover from.

Aside from myself, who can Thread Needle Thread and Divine Healing Technique!

He said, "My Extraordinary Sequence is that of a doctor! You should have felt it too; I just used 'Gang Line, a type of magical thread) to suture your major nerves and blood vessels. For now, you're out of danger. I'll treat your external injuries now, and once your battle qi has recovered, I'll reconnect the severed muscle fibers."

Hearing Rein's confident words, the dormant glint in Canossa's eyes finally rekindled.

"You"

Canossa wanted to say something.

But suddenly I felt that all the words I wanted to say were too weak to be spoken.

A life-saving grace?

No, if it could really be cured, it wouldn't be a matter of saving a life!

This is a debt of gratitude she can never repay!

Rein had no idea what Canossa was thinking with that complicated expression on her face.

Without further ado, he took out surgical instruments and laid them out in a row on the mat on the ground.

After looking at her, he still reminded her first, "Madam, I need to perform surgery on you, so you can't keep the clothes you're wearing."

Canossa's thoughts were pulled back by these words. Her gaze shifted, but her expression remained unchanged. She softly murmured, "Hmm."

With permission, Rein didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up the scissors and cut off the pieces of the cheongsam on Canossa's body until she was completely naked before he began to clean her external wounds.

Actually, there's no need to ask further. Her embroidered cheongsam was almost completely torn, revealing glimpses of her figure from head to toe.

Speaking up was merely a matter of politeness.

Rein couldn't help but complain about some of the movies and TV shows from his past life. They would fight for ages, destroying the earth, but the protagonist's clothes would still be intact. Now that he saw them, it was just ridiculous.

In this world, a slightly stronger Transcendent punch can shatter stone. And the cheongsam that Canossa is wearing is just an ordinary silk textile, not some specially crafted piece of equipment, so it's impossible for it to withstand much external force.

Especially once the Bodyguard Battle Qi armor is broken, it can be smashed to pieces in just a few punches.

If the topic of clothes hadn't been brought up, everything would have been fine. But once it was mentioned, Canossa suddenly focused her attention on her cool, refreshed body, and her expression changed slightly.

If she had fainted, that would have been fine, but being fully conscious allowed her to watch as a grown man performed surgery on her body.

Even though the other person was a doctor, something still felt off.

But seeing Rein's focused gaze on the surgery, she pouted and let him be.

Hmm.

It seems like his gaze isn't very focused either.

Hehe

Canossa raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, not feeling anything was wrong, and lazily closed her eyes.
