Chapter 464 - 8.64 She Is Coming
When the blinding light subsided, Lu Yizhou’s body was sore and achy all over. He leaned against the shield and gulped down one stamina potion, health potion and strength potion simultaneously. Even then, his chest was still heaving from the aftermath. Goddamnit! Diana was right, Luca’s strength was really no joke at all!
In one glance, the entire room was completely scorched in black. The air was suffused in smoke and the burnt stench was so overpowering that Lu Yizhou felt his throat go dry. He coughed and swept his gaze toward Olivia who was crouching on the ground with her head ducked between her arms and Ji Yan, who was covering her body with his. Both of them looked the worse for wear with their dusty clothes and burnt hair. Even Lu Yizhou, who had been holding the front line, looked way better.
"Are you guys okay?" He asked dryly.
"Y–Yes." Ji Yan finally lifted his head and heaved out a sigh of relief. He helped Olivia up and both of them drank their potions. Ji Yan patted his chest. "Holy shit, that was terrifying. Miss Irene, your shield is superb! Is that one of your witch’s power?"
The corner of Lu Yizhou’s lips twitched. He could not say that it was Ella’s gift or else the favoritism would be blatantly exposed to the light of the day. "...Somewhat."
Ji Yan gave him a thumbs up. "That’s so cool!"
Lu Yizhou’s shield started to dissipate and he straightened up, face turning grave. "Use the comb to summon Madam Knox here so she can help you fight him. I will leave him to the both of you. Can you do that?"
Ji Yan and Olivia sported the same bewildered expression. "W–What about you?"
"I have something I have to do." He clenched his fists. Ella and Ellie had said it. Only he could save them. Lu Yizhou had to move as soon as possible! He lifted his eyes and fixed the two protagonists with a solemn look. "My most precious treasure... I have to get them back. This is something I have to do myself."
