Nobilis of War

Chapter 1261 The Therapy

Should he take the Divine Essence Stone back or help her refine it to save her life?

Weighed by the dilemma, Briggs began to hesitate again.

"Damn it! It's all that old man's fault. He had taught me to be kind. She must be in agony. How can I be

heartless now? My death is inevitable. Since this is the last of my Divine Essence Stone, and I will only

live for one more month even if I keep it, it wouldn't hurt me to give it to her."

Finally, Briggs decided to help Jenifer refine the Divine Essence Stone. He knew that he couldn't make

it through the next eating day, not even if he kept the last of the Divine Essence Stone. So, how did it

matter if he lived one more month?

Briggs winced as he moved closer to Jenifer. The oil he had stepped on hadn't cooled yet, and a

searing pain radiated to every nerve ending.

He glanced around cautiously. Once he stopped being the master of the Divine Essence Stone, these

people would rush over and try to snatch it. His heart beat faster at the thought of being mobbed. 'Just

be quick, ' he thought to himself.

Once he was sure that he was ready, Briggs brought his finger to his mouth and bit it. He watched as a

drop of blood essence oozed out. Then, he took a deep breath and transferred the blood drop on to the

Divine Essence Stone. Now, he was no longer its master.

Bang!

Almost instantly, Briggs felt a sharp pain that radiated from his back.

A dirty man with festering skin had punched Briggs and sent him flying for about ten feet.

"Divine Essence Stone. My Divine Essence Stone!"

Briggs coughed up blood as he cried in despair when he saw the man rush to grab his Divine Essence

Stone.

However, before the man could touch it, several people around grabbed his legs and rendered him

immobile.

Seeing what had happened, the creatures of the other races also swarmed forward.

They did not dare to beat one another to death, but they could desperately hold one another so that

their companions could get the Divine Essence Stone.

In a few seconds, chaos ruled the place. A colossal heap of people had formed where Briggs had

previously stood, and each of these creatures tore and bit one another as they strived for the Divine

Essence Stone in Jenifer's hand.

The Divine Essence Stone in Jenifer's hand began to melt, and an intense ray of multicolored light

burst out.

Like arid land greedily absorbing every last drop of life-giving rain, her scorched skin soaked up the

Divine Essence.

Once it entered her body, Jenifer's breath of life gradually became stronger.

"Hmm," she groaned lightly as her charred skin peeled off, revealing her fair tender skin.

After a few moments, she had the strength to raise her head. Eventually, she felt well enough to stand.

"Briggs, you..."

After her mind cleared and her confusion wore off, Jenifer understood why god's power was in her

body.

"Thank goodness the others didn't steal it," Briggs whispered with a sigh of relief. He would have

regretted his decision if he had failed to save Jenifer.

"Thank you, Briggs." Jenifer voiced the gratitude that surged in her heart.

"That's only because I'm kind-hearted. Jenifer, please help me heal my wound. It hurts so much,"

Briggs pleaded.

Jenifer swept a cold gaze over the others. Everyone who had tried to take the Divine Essence Stone

had quieted down. Under her intense stare, they lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

When Jenifer stepped forward and examined Briggs, her brows furrowed. The blow had been powerful

enough to tear through the skin and flesh on his back.

She activated her god's power and repaired his wound in an instant. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Thank you. I feel much better now." Briggs sighed with relief.

"Briggs, I didn't expect you to save me. You could have refined the Divine Essence Stone yourself and

then healed me. That way, you wouldn't have taken the risk of the Divine Essence Stone being

snatched by others," Jenifer stated.

"Yes!" Briggs scratched his head as embarrassment coursed through him. Why hadn't he thought of it?

"I'm so stupid," he stated. "I was a little hesitant and anxious. I guess I didn't think through my options.

But this way is better. As your cultivation stage is higher than mine, you can recover more strength than

me."

Jenifer was very touched by the fact that Briggs, who was merely a stranger to her, was willing to save

her life by using the life-saving Divine Essence Stone.

"Briggs, thank you so much."

"Well, don't mention it. After all, the effect of the Divine Essence Stone lasts only two hours. It doesn't

accomplish much. I just didn't want you to die miserably."

The god's power contained in the Divine Essence Stone was limited and would automatically dissipate

after the two hours passed. Thus, Jenifer could only keep her restored strength for that time.

Hearing Briggs' words, Jenifer became depressed. What he had said was right. Even though he had

helped her, his act of kindness didn't mean that they were safe. Everyone, including she and "Darren,"

would still die.

"Alas! If only Darren weren't injured. His strength would not be restricted," Jenifer sighed as complex

emotions surged within her. She knew that the Rule Soul Avatar was a rule cultivator and had the

silvery eyes to destroy laws. If he were awake, he would have found a law to shatter the suppression

on their god's power by now.

"Wow, is the person you are talking about really that powerful?" Briggs' eyes lit up.

"His cultivation stage is not impressive, but he masters laws better than anyone else in the world,"

Jenifer said with a sense of pride.

"We can cure him," Briggs suggested. A broad smile lit up his face, and his eyes gleamed with

expectation.

Jenifer shook her head slightly and said, "Alas. I want to cure him, but his wound cannot be healed with

god's power."

Jenifer had tried several times but failed. She knew that it was impossible to repair the Rule Soul

Avatar's eyes with god's power.

"I might know of a way that could work," Briggs slowly suggested as an idea flashed through his mind.

"What way?"

"Let him enter the reincarnation. Perhaps it will have a miraculous effect."

"What do you mean? Can you tell me more about it?" Jenifer asked as her heart beat faster and faster.

"At the eastern end of the prison is a huge black vortex. It's a reincarnation channel, and after you enter

it, you'll be reincarnated."

When Jenifer heard this, the glimmer of hope in her eyes died. As this so-called underworld was fake,

how could there be reincarnation?

"Trust me, Jenifer. Other people might not know about that channel, but I understand its principle. It is a

natural 'time turbulent flow'. After people enter it, they might be taken back to their previous state. Of

course, it is also possible that they might be smashed by time cracks and disappear forever," explained

Briggs.

"Are you serious?" Jenifer was taken aback.

"Of course, I am. Before my grandfather died, he left many strange memories and information in my

mind, including about 'time turbulent flows'. I can assure you that it's a 'time turbulent flow'," Briggs said

confidently.

"But in this case, entering the channel will also put him at great risk." Jenifer frowned. She tried

weighing the merits of Briggs' suggestion but found herself hesitant. The risk to "Darren" was immense!

"Well, women are troublesome. Think of it as a last resort to a hopeless situation. Don't you see it? If

you don't try, he will remain in his current state—injured and in agony. Is that any different from death?

What's more, if you don't try, everyone will be devoured by the other races in a month. What's the use

of worrying about risk when we're all doomed anyway?" Briggs' tone sounded as though he was

lecturing Jenifer.

"I'm sorry. I didn't think about all that." It was not until then that Jenifer understood. Since they would

surely die if she didn't try, she had to take "Darren" to the vortex.

"Hurry up! Fly there while you still have strength."

"Yes." Jenifer nodded. She grabbed the Rule Soul Avatar and Briggs and flew eastward.

In the blink of an eye, she crossed several hundred kilometers and arrived at the place Briggs had

mentioned.

On a wall there was indeed a huge black vortex, like the mouth of a giant beast. It even emitted a

terrifying and ferocious aura!

"Hurry up! Put him in before the guards discover us and something unexpected happens," Briggs

urged.

"Yes."

Jenifer reluctantly glanced at the Rule Soul Avatar before pushing him forward with her god's power.

Her breath caught in her throat, and her heart sank as she watched the black vortex swallow him.

Swish!

As soon as the Rule Soul Avatar entered a colorful, brilliant void, his eyes flew open.
