"Sister Nana, are we really not going to save Brother Nolan?"
Seeing Nolan's miserable state, Nini buried herself in Nana's arms in fear and didn't even dare keep looking, "He looks so miserable. I…"
"Why save him? Earlier he wanted to use you as bait and send you to your death."
The moment Nana mentioned this, her voice turned cold.
Even if Nolan had wanted her to die, she might not have been this angry. But this piece of trash had exposed all of Nini's information just to make Nini die in his place.
At first, this trash kept saying he was doing it for the Azure City Sect.
But now it looked more ridiculous the more she thought about it.
If he were really doing it for the Azure City Sect, then how could someone possibly want to send the Azure City Sect's most important class, and also the class with the brightest future, to die?
In the end, wasn't it just selfishness?
"Sister Nana, stop being angry," Nini spoke softly, "I know Brother Nolan didn't mean it. He was probably just scared, so he—"
"Don't mention him to me again!"
Nana directly cut off Nini's words and said, "You're still young. You don't understand how dangerous people's hearts can be."
"But since we came to this hellish place, some people who only had a few bad thoughts before will quickly have the evil inside them amplified in this world where the strong eat the weak."
"Especially when life is threatened, the word kindness becomes a joke "
"Nini, listen carefully."
"Starting today, you need to let go of your so-called kindness. Otherwise, you'll lose even the right to survive in this world "
"Do you understand?"
Nana's voice carried a serious coldness.
And it was also the first time Nini had seen her sister speak to her in this tone. She froze immediately, and tears even started gathering in her eyes.
But she still bit her lower lip and nodded hard.
"Alright, I know you're upset," Nana gently wiped the tears from the corner of Nini's eyes with the back of her hand and said, "Stop crying! Your sister also doesn't want to speak to you like this, but I'm scared that if one day I'm gone, there won't be anyone left to protect you for me anymore."
"Sister Nana, you won't leave!", A white glow instantly lit up in Nini's hands, "I won't let you leave! Nini will grow up quickly. Nini will protect all of you!"
Smack!
In her excitement, Nini actually slapped a white ball of light in her hand toward Nolan.
The next moment, the ball of light landed on Nolan's body, then quickly spread out and wrapped around him completely.
At this moment, Ethan was standing nearby with his sword in his arms, watching the show. He had been planning to wait until the Blade Tree finished slicing this trash apart before making a move.
But then he saw something strange.
The moment Nini's light ball landed on Nolan, the torn skin and flesh on his body actually started healing rapidly.
"AHHHH!"
But just after some of it healed, the Blade Tree's petals flew over once again.
It looked like a wound had just closed up only to be cut open again by blades. Even the blood in Nolan's wounds gradually became thinner.
After healing and reopening countless times, Nolan's wounds even started turning pale, looking like pork after all the blood had been drained out.
"What a talent!"
Ethan turned to look at Nini.
Originally, he had been worried that Nolan might die after being sliced too many times.
Who would've thought Nini actually had a move that could keep someone alive like this? Not only could it make a person suffer longer, but it also stopped them from dying.
"Ah?"
However, after watching Nolan get cut nearly another hundred times, Nini cried out in shock, "How did this happen?"
"Nini, weren't you doing this because you wanted revenge?", Even Idris, standing nearby, could barely keep watching, "But this is way too cruel. It would've been better to let Brother Nolan die like this. You're keeping him trapped in endless torture, but he can't even die. Isn't that too miserable?"
"I didn't! I really didn't!", Nini denied it repeatedly, "I really only wanted to help Brother Nolan!"
"Then on behalf of Brother Nolan, thank you very much," Idris covered his forehead.
Right at this moment, Ethan finally moved.
When Idris saw Ethan walking toward the strange tree that was firing blades endlessly like an arrow tower, he couldn't help asking Nana, "Sister Nana, he's not planning to use that tree to practice swordsmanship too, is he?"
"Uh…", Nana also shook her head and said, "I can't understand him either."
"Nolan was still a warrior no matter what, but he didn't even have the strength to escape before getting forced to his knees by that strange tree," Idris took a deep breath and said, "Still, this is good! Maybe we can use this chance to run away from him."
"I think he can win."
Looking at Ethan's steady back, Nana felt a strange feeling in her heart as she said, "Just like before, when he entered the D-rank danger zone, we all thought he would die too."
"But in the end, didn't he come out perfectly fine? He didn't even have a scratch. So I think this tree probably can't hurt him either."
"I don't believe it," Idris shook his head and said, "Those vines earlier were numerous, but their attacks were simple. Even if they hit you, it wasn't a big deal. But this tree is different. Every petal is like a blade that can directly slice off a piece of flesh from your body. And with attacks this dense, no matter how strong this man is, there's no way he'll come out without injuries."
"How about we make a bet?"
"Sure!", Idris confidently said, "If he really comes out without a single injury, I'll immediately stand upside down and eat shit for you to see."
"Stop trying to scam free food, and don't say such disgusting things. I don't want to see that," Nana rolled her eyes at Idris and said, "If you lose, then you have to promise me you'll take care of Nini for the rest of your life. Unless you die. Can you do that?"
"Of course I can," Idris confidently replied, "I already treat Nini like my little sister! But if I win, then you have to give me a chance to chase you. Deal?"
"Deal!"
Nana agreed cleanly.
After all, they might not even have a chance to leave this place alive anyway.
Tap!
Tap! Tap!
Nolan, who was barely breathing in more air than he breathed out, suddenly heard steady footsteps beside him. In the end, he still forced his heavy eyelids open, wanting to see who would dare risk entering the strange tree's attack range to save him.
But when he opened his eyes and saw the tall man in front of him, he realized he was wrong.
This man…
Wasn't here to save him at all. He was here to play.
Because his expression looked so relaxed, and the sword in his hand moved so lightly, as if the blades he was facing weren't blades at all, but just ordinary flower petals.
Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ethan naturally had no interest in paying attention to someone who was about to die.
He focused on swinging the sword in his hand, cutting apart every petal flying toward him.
