Infinite Days

Feeling the essence constantly transforming into magic power within her body, Rias was also very surprised, because Li Ke's essence was too pure, as if it had never been influenced by anything.

In this case, the recovery speed and effect of the essence were very impressive.

But this also meant that there had never been any magic power in Li Ke's environment—which was impossible.

Magic power was what constructs the world. Even the holy power of angels and the magic power of demons were essentially magic power.

It was just that they had changed, but the most essential thing was still the same.

They were all made up of spiritual energy and physical energy.

But Li Ke's body was too pure, and there was no magic power converted from it at all.

It was as if...

He was the most primitive human.

In their world, he would undoubtedly be a treasure, but pure humans should have disappeared long ago.

But this wasn't the time to think about these things. Rias once again activated her flight magic, and with a wave of her hand, a large piece of soil above their heads flew up, revealing the dense mass of zombie Vilebirds.

"Lux!"

"Mm!"

Lux immediately understood what she had to do. She raised her staff, and beams of light continuously appeared in the sky, creating paths through the sky full of zombie bird flocks, and allowing Rias and them to see the steel hut that was surrounded by countless zombie birds.

"It seems like I'll have to apologize properly later!"

Rias put up a shield to protect Li Ke and Lux, and then countless magic circles suddenly appeared around her. That's right, holding Li Ke couldn't stop her from going on a rampage!

Countless fireballs and flames began to surround her shield, constantly killing all the zombie birds that rushed over. Not only that, after handing Li Ke over to Lux for support, a large amount of lightning appeared on her fingers.

"Although I don't have the Power to use lightning like Akeno, spending all day with her has allowed me to master quite a bit!"

A cruel smile appeared on Rias's face. In the next moment, countless lightning bolts emerged from the suddenly appearing magic circles, attacking the countless zombie birds in the sky and constantly striking their bodies.

In an instant, except for the steel hut that she deliberately avoided, the entire sky was a sea of ​​lightning.

Countless zombie birds and the smell of burnt meat appeared. The zombie birds within a few hundred meters were cleared, but countless zombie birds continued to rush over.

"This is really..."

Rias gritted her teeth and released another ball of fire. If one of her servants was here, these strange birds wouldn't be a problem at all. He could easily use blood magic to detonate the little blood left in these strange birds' bodies, instantly clearing all the monsters.

But she couldn't. It took a lot of effort for her to kill these monsters.

So she didn't linger. After all, she had only recovered a portion of her magic power. After clearing this part of the zombies, she quickly rushed towards the steel hut and landed at the door.

Kelly quickly noticed the situation here and immediately opened the door to let the three of them in, but the moment she took Li Ke from Lux, the gun in her hand was pointed at Rias's head.

"Can you explain why our man is like this now?!"

Kelly looked at Rias with an unfriendly expression. She was very concerned about Rias attracting these monsters, and even more concerned about Li Ke's limp and absent-minded appearance.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Ke is in his current state because I absorbed his essence, but please rest assured that I have not harmed his body. As long as Mr. Li Ke rests for a while, he will be able to recover."

Rias didn't feel disgusted by Kelly's hostility, but rather more apologetic.

"I'm very sorry for causing you trouble, but please rest assured that as long as I rest for a while, I will solve this crisis."

She sincerely bowed to Kelly and the trembling Tsunade, and didn't intend to get up. Lux on the side also bowed in apology.

"Hah, I hope you mean what you say."

Kelly snorted disdainfully, and then dragged Li Ke onto the bed, placing him next to Tsunade so that he could lie down and rest.

Li Ke, on the other hand, felt dizzy. He couldn't even be woken up by Kelly's occasional opening of the observation port and shooting outside. Before long, he fell asleep in the arms of the constantly trembling Tsunade.

The steel hut then fell into a dull atmosphere.

Kelly had no interest in saying anything to the strangers who had brought trouble and made Li Ke like this. Rias and Lux didn't know what to say because of the awkwardness.

Fortunately, Li Ke's sleep didn't last long. Before long, his mind broke free from the trance of being drained of essence and returned to normal. Then he was woken up by Kelly's gunshots.

The steel hut then returned to some semblance of normalcy.

Drowsily opening his eyes, Li Ke saw Kelly constantly shooting at the design port under the illumination of the torch, as well as Lux and Rias sitting on two wooden blocks.

The two of them now looked like elementary school students who had made a mistake, giving off a feeling of waiting for judgment. Li Ke shook his head, and after making sure that he wasn't dreaming, he realized that he had returned to this safe steel hut.

"Isn't it over yet?"

He listened to the still banging steel house, and looked at the zombie birds constantly pouncing at the shooting port, and couldn't help but ask.

Rias had drained him like this, and she still hadn't dealt with it here?

How many of these strange birds were there?

"Not even close! There are at least tens of thousands more outside!"

Kelly's expression improved a lot after seeing Li Ke wake up, but she still looked unhappy.

At this time, Rias also knew that she could speak.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li Ke, but this world is indeed as you said, quite strange, and doesn't welcome us. And it doesn't seem to want people to fly. I just calculated that I only flew for a few tens of minutes, and this world released hundreds of thousands of strange birds to attack me! At first, there were only one or two, but then, the number of these monsters increased every time, and the speed at which they appeared also increased!"

Li Ke's mouth twitched. He had really thought about driving an Airplane to avoid the blood moon or something, after all, Kelly was there, and they also had the gyroplane in their crafting menu. But now it seemed that the gyroplane was just a death trap?

"This world really is…"

He really didn't want to complain anymore.

However, just as he was feeling helpless, he discovered that his legitimate System had sent him a message.

He opened it and saw two shocking prompts.

"Warning! Your Seven Days to Die Dimension Lord qualification is being surpassed!"

"Rias Gremory! Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, has surpassed your Seven Days to Die Dimension Lord qualification!"

What the hell?!

Chapter 20: A Sudden Thought

Li Ke was a little dazed when he suddenly saw this prompt, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

Those two were basically human-shaped mobile artillery platforms, and their speed of killing monsters was needless to say. Not to mention anything else, Rias's fireball alone could directly burn dozens of zombie bird-monsters into idiots.

And Lux was even more powerful, she played with light cannons!

Light cannons, understand?

In a monster swarm of this density, leveling up was a piece of cake, so it was normal for them to surpass him.

"It's a good thing I never had any interest in this crappy world in the first place."

Li Ke glanced at the tattered clothes on his body, sneered, and then responded to Rias.

"I told you, this world is so terrifying and strange, yet you were still so careless."

Shaking his head, Li Ke put the matter aside.

"But let's not talk about that. After all, it is what it is. You should have noticed that as your levels increase, your physical fitness and the like have recovered, right?"

Rias nodded.

"That's right, but even though I've reached level 70, I still can't return to my full strength. Lux is the same. I think it's probably the same for you."

Kelly nodded, but she didn't care about it. Her strength had long since returned due to adding points, so she wasn't worried about it.

Li Ke, on the other hand, curled his lips.

Sorry, but my strength hasn't been suppressed at all.

Yes, Li Ke didn't feel his strength being suppressed at all!

"However, if you give me about an hour to recover, I can resolve this crisis."

Rias gently caressed her chest, stating her recovery time, but at the same time, she looked at Li Ke.

"But if Mr. Li Ke, Miss Kelly, and Miss Tsunade are willing to let me absorb their essence, then I can recover immediately."

Hearing this, a question mark appeared above Li Ke's head. He looked at Rias, then at Lux on the side, and couldn't help but ask.

"So, why didn't you absorb Lux's essence back then?"

Before, because the situation was urgent and she was really big, Li Ke didn't think of this, but now Rias was showing that girls could also...

What did this mean?

"Because Lux is still a maiden, and her magic consumption was already very serious at the time. Absorbing her magic would cause severe damage to her body. Since Mr. Li Ke came to save us, there was no need to hurt Lux. And now... well, Lux's first kiss is still there. I want to let this child keep her first kiss and give it to someone she likes."

"?"

Kelly instantly turned her head.

"What do you mean! My first kiss is still here too!"

Rias immediately showed a surprised expression and apologized earnestly.

"I'm sorry, seeing your intimate actions, I thought you two were a couple."

Li Ke didn't say anything, just looked at Rias speechlessly, and Lux, who was beside him, was so surprised that she couldn't speak.

"That, Rias, what do you mean..."

Lux looked at Rias in disbelief, while Rias smiled and hugged Lux, with a face full of smiles.

"Well, I still want to recruit you as a member of my peerage, so naturally I want to protect you as much as possible."

However, what she didn't notice was that when Lux hugged herself, a look of fear was visibly revealed, but she endured it and didn't show it much.

Li Ke sighed.

"No thanks, that terrible feeling was enough for one time."

Being absorbed of his essence was very enjoyable, but after that, it wasn't. The intense emptiness made him want Rias to absorb his essence again.

Without a doubt, this was a demon's trick. Even if Rias herself didn't want to, the demon's magic, or rather, her talent, could cause such an effect.

And now, even looking at the other party's huge breasts, Li Ke felt that he couldn't get excited!

So, let's forget about this.

"This fortress can last for another hour anyway, so you should just recover honestly."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he walked to the design opening with his gun and began to clean up the zombie-like birds with Kelly. He didn't plan to say anything more to Rias and the others.

It's best to hurry and grind some EXP.

Although encountering them in the wild is very troublesome, in a situation like this with a fortress, these zombie birds are undoubtedly their best helpers for grinding EXP.

As long as a small opening is left, those zombie birds will desperately try to squeeze in, and then as long as the trigger is pulled continuously, these zombie birds will quickly fall to the earth.

Li Ke killed them very enthusiastically, and watching the EXP value continue to rise, his mood also improved a lot.

But when he thought of the prompt from his cheat, he couldn't help but have an idea.

"If I could send Rias and Lux back, then... wouldn't I be the strongest candidate for the dimension lord of this world again?"

This idea occupied Li Ke's brain as soon as it appeared, making him constantly think about whether this matter was feasible.

However, this idea made Li Ke frown, because...

Because he doesn't care who this world belongs to at all?

If he could get out of this rotten world right now, he would leave without hesitation! Why would he fight for the title of dimension lord that he doesn't even know the use of?

Li Ke felt something was wrong.

He still knew about the title of dimension lord, and he knew it very well, after all, Marvel movies and DC movies have mentioned this thing, that is, the most powerful guy in his own dimension and world.

As long as the dimension does not perish, then it will always exist.

But the problem is, dimensions also have dimensional rules, just like Dormammu's Dark Dimension, a place full of darkness and corruption.

Even Dormammu, the dimension lord, can't change this, this is the rule of this dimension.

And the Seven Days to Die dimension...

How should I put it?

Let him live forever in a world full of zombies and only a few mindless NPCs?

That's worse than killing him.
