Burdens, Paths, Gains

In the dimly lit room, there was no sound except for the faint sound of breathing rising and falling, lingering in the air.

On the bed, Fang Li's expression had returned to calm, and his breathing had become steady, not as bad as before.

Under these circumstances, Fang Li's eyelids suddenly twitched, and he slowly opened them.

"Hmm..."

Upon waking up, Fang Li felt as if his entire body had entered a state of exhaustion, feeling extremely weak.

No, it wasn't physical weakness, but spiritual weakness.

This feeling of powerlessness made Fang Li feel like his head was spinning and he couldn't muster any energy.

Then, an indescribable sense of exhaustion overwhelmed Fang Li, making Fang Li really want to close his eyes and simply fall asleep.

"Is this a side effect of using the Holy Mark?"

Fang Li couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh.

If it's a physical burden, then we can find a way to solve it.

For example, improving the VIT (durability) attribute.

This attribute is related to the body's endurance. Improving it can enhance the body's ability to withstand blows, resist abnormal conditions, and even improve the body's recovery ability, thus comprehensively enhancing an individual's endurance.

Therefore, after Fang Li used the Holy Mark, all attributes except INT (Mystic) were doubled, and the bleeding from Fang Li's abdominal wound stopped.

If the burden caused by the Holy Mark is related to the body, then Fang Li can gradually extend the usage time of the Holy Mark by increasing VIT (durability), and eventually become completely immune to the side effects.

Unfortunately, the Holy Mark are a power deeply embedded in the soul, and the burden they create is entirely directed at the soul, having little to do with the body.

"In this way, even the difficulty of restoring things through props and items will increase by more than one level."

The Main God Space contains many magical items, including many recovery items.

However, items related to the soul are among the rarest things, so it's hard to say whether they can restore Fang Li's condition.

"Considering these troublesome side effects, it is well worth the powerful effect of this skill."

At least as an ace, the Holy Mark is indeed enough to turn the tide in crucial moments.

For example, in the previous battle against the Father! Deus!, even if Fang Li eventually mastered the Flash Sheath and Flash Run without the Holy Mark, he would still be unable to harm it, right?

"Ultimately, it's because I'm too weak."

If you are strong enough, you won't be forced into this situation.

No matter what, Fang Li was just Main God Envoy who had just entered the second instance Instance World after experiencing one Instance World.

In the Main God Space, someone like Fang Li is undoubtedly still at the very bottom.

"Fortunately, although this battle was brutal, the gains were also considerable."

Although he did not kill the Father! Deus!, Fang Li used the opportunity to learn the art of Flash Sheath and Flash Run, successfully entering the realm of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, a pinnacle of assassination skills.

Nowadays, in terms of skill, Fang Li is no longer inferior to Tohno Shiki.

Moreover, mastering the Flash Sheath and Flash Run also allowed Fang Li to understand the path he would take next.

"Find a way to learn all the brilliant moves in the Seven Nights Assassination Technique and completely master this skill."

After all, Fang Li has only just begun to understand the Seven Nights Assassination Technique and has only grasped the basics.

Only when Fang Li has mastered the many brilliant moves of the Seven Nights Assassination Technique will Fang Li fighting style be fully formed.

The complete Seven Nights Assassination Technique combined with the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, capable of killing in a single blow, would be terrifying; it's easy to imagine.

Tohno Shiki has only mastered basic self-defense techniques, yet he has killed countless powerful enemies with his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, including some inhuman and even terrifying beings. If Tohno Shiki were to fully master the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, it would be terrifying.

If Fang Li were to fully master the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, he would be no weaker than Tohno Shiki.

After all, Fang Li is the Main God Envoy. In addition to his skills, he can also improve his attributes, wear excellent equipment, and upgrade his abilities.

The skills Flash Sheath and Flash Run are currently only at level 1.

As the level increases, Fang Li's Seven Nights Assassination Technique will only become more and more terrifying; there is absolutely no reason for it to become weaker.

"It seems that I'll be stuck in the training ground again after returning to the Main God Space."

Thinking this, Fang Li then noticed that he wasn't the only one there.

"Huff... huff..."

There, beside Fang Li's bed, Alisa lay asleep, breathing steadily.

Moreover, in Alisa's hand was a handkerchief that was already soaked.

The handkerchief smelled of sweat, telling Fang Li that what was wetting it was not water, but sweat.

And whose sweat it was, it goes without saying.

"After I fell into a coma, this girl was the one who took care of me?"

Fang Li was genuinely surprised.

Alisa can actually take care of people?

This is truly a miracle.

"Hmm..."

Whether it was some unseen force that sensed Fang Li was thinking something extremely impolite, Alisa murmured softly and slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as Alisa opened her eyes, she saw Fang Li sitting up, looking at her with a half-smile.

Alisa jolted awake, sat up abruptly, and exclaimed in surprise.

"You... you're awake?"

Seeing Alisa's surprised and delighted expression, Fang Li was somewhat astonished by Alisa reaction and replied, "She just woke up."

"Is that so?" Alisa said, then fell silent, unsure of what to say next.

An awkward atmosphere suddenly filled the space between Fang Li and Alisa.

Fang Li scratched his cheek as if to break the silence, and asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"It must have been a day," Alisa said softly. "I brought you here yesterday."

In other words, Alisa took care of Fang Li for an entire day.

Has this aloof girl finally shown a hint of cuteness?

Thinking this, Fang Li asked again, "Where is the Heavenly Father?"

"...He escaped." Alisa's tone became complicated, and her gaze towards Fang Li shifted uncertainly as she asked, "Were you already unconscious before the Father escaped?"

Otherwise, Fang Li should have been able to see the Father retreating.

Could it be that Fang Li's final declaration was just a bluff?
