Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 881: Looping

When Xu Feng raised the question about sharing vision, Carmen looked at him as if he was trying to be funny.

”Guild Leader… Do you think this is some cultivation scene?” She asked skeptically. ”Or are you trying to make fun of me after my teasing?”

Dumbfounded, Xu Feng nearly wanted to say that she should have been able to do it.

But when he paused for a moment, he realized that she might not have unlocked that particular skill yet.

ʼRight, the shared perception should have been a Tier 3 skill. Carmen is still Tier 1 and working hard toward Tier 2.ʼ He smiled bitterly.

Tier 1 was available at level 30, and Tier 2 was available at level 70. The current Carmen was only in the level 40s, a far cry from the 70 range.

As for the Tier 3 skill, it would only be available at level 100.

In other words, she still had a long way to go before she could use the shared perception of the Voidmancer class.

”Never mind that,” Xu Feng faked a cough and changed the topic.

”The summoned creature should have encountered clues to the last icon. We should head over there and take a look personally.” He continued and retrieved the Mana Resonance Talisman.

There was a range limit with the item, but if that particular summoned creature had discovered something, the item would still glow as they approached closer.

Nodding, Carmen also didnʼt plan on pursuing the matter and canceled out the other summoned creatures.

By doing so, she wouldnʼt be mistaking the other creatures in the correct direction. Moreover, the other creatures didnʼt discover any abnormality and were facing the dead-end path.

There was no need to continue to waste mana on them even though her recovery rate had improved dramatically.

Sometime later, the two got prepared and were ready to face the last obstacle.

The moment their foot left the safe zone, the Timer above the sky also began to count down. It was extremely precise.

Timer: 08:13:36

The seconds continued to count down, but Xu Feng and Carmen didnʼt rush at all. They kept their pace steady and maintained vigilance.

Having dealt with the weirdness and unexpected moments in the obstacles, they became certain that the maze must have similar elements.

Although they had yet to encounter them, that didnʼt nullify the possibility of it occurring.

Xu Feng cast a barrier that protected them from being insta-killed.

This barrier was a skill specifically designed to prevent assassins or heavy DPS class from being able to one-shot them or their teammates.

Of course, it had a fatal flaw and that was the fact it could only block one attack.

To simplify, if the enemy had consecutive chain attack skills, then after the first initial block, the said player would still be insta-killed from the second strike.

An attack didnʼt calculate the factor of skill, but the first attack.

Letʼs say there was a skill called double chop. The first chop of the skill would be blocked by the barrier, but the second chop which was still in the same skill channel would be considered a second attack.

Hence, the barrier might have sounded overpowered at first glance, but the truth was a completely different story.

To ensure the effectiveness of the barrier, the caster needed to time it extremely well.

However, Xu Feng didnʼt do so in this instance because monsters wouldnʼt know about the skill beforehand. They might have intelligence, but they wouldnʼt be able to foresee the unknown or the future.

Just like how Xu Feng failed to foresee a horror genre obstacle and made a fool out of himself.

While Xu Feng was frustrated at his weakness in the horror genre, Carmen suddenly halted her steps in the front. Her eyes narrowed coldly as she darted toward the right side of the corner.

”The black-hearted system is really annoying.” She clicked her tongue and hissed coldly.

This was a path that one of her canceled summoned creatures had previously explored.

There was nothing in it except a dead-end path. But at this moment, she could sense the presence of a dangerous monster looming closer to them from the path.

”Let me handle it.” Xu Feng also sensed the presence and suggested taking the vanguard position.

”Guild Leader, youʼre a healer. I am the Summoner and DPS class here.” Carmen rolled her eyes and refused to let him do the work again. So many instances, Xu Feng would offer to take the lead and use the pretext of conserving strength to prevent her from making a move.

Despite her words though, her true mindset was that she wanted to fight the monster to vent her anger from the past obstacles. The same was true for Xu Feng, who wanted to simply nuke the monster and watch it burn to vent a bit.

Alas, Carmen was too fast this time. She directly summoned her powerful creatures and used her Voidmancer spells.

As if that wasnʼt enough, she made sure to glare heavily at Xu Feng, seemingly threatening him to stay put.

ʼTsk, Iʼll just take the back seat and relax then.ʼ Xu Feng thought to himself and stood still. Others would be grateful to take the back seat and relax, but Carmen was unlike others. She wanted to get into action—just like him, unwilling to be a leech.

Time quickly went by, and Carmen indeed gave zero opportunity for Xu Feng to intervene.

”Alright, letʼs move on,” She clasped her hands, pleased and satisfied by successfully venting her frustration.

”Yes,” Xu Feng shook his head and could only resign to his fate.

…

As the two arrived at the scene where the summoned creature seemed to be in a loop, Xu Feng and Carmen were quickly taken aback by the notice post that was pasted on the wall.

[Memorize the scene and if you notice any abnormalities, please return to where you come from.]

”Hah, so this is why your summoned creatures have been looping back and forth.” Xu Feng furrowed his brows.
