14. Saved

The expected pain didn't happen. Instead, his weakened state was cured...by a healing spell!

"Hehe. It's not good to bully children," an unknown man's voice rang out.

Bai XiaoYu opened his eyes to find a male healer with bible in hand not far behind BattleOverlord. A pink aura surrounded XiaoYu. It's a skill healers only learn at Level 90 - Safety Wall. It's a spell that can block a certain number of attacks. The higher the proficiency, the higher the number. However, it has a cooldown of 30 minutes and uses a Blue Gemstone. Looks like the attack from BattleOverlord was blocked by this skill.

"Mind your own business!"

"Alright. I will. Go on. Keep killing." The healer folded his hands together and tucked his chin into it. He sat down by a tree and stared at them.

BattleOverlord and XiaoYu were both stunned. What's going on? Don't think about the fact that he stopped saving someone halfway through the act. What's with the "everyone can do what they want. I'm going to watch something fun" expression on his face?

"Hm? You're done? If you won't attack, I will. Those who don't attack grey names are idiots. Come, let's see what you'll drop." Upon noticing the other two were stunned with surprise, he started standing up while talking to himself. He patted down the exquisite high-level red and white Priest's uniform and dropped into a fighting stance.

"Should I slowly bludgeon you to death with my book or should I give a quick death via Holy Light?" I_Am_A_Poor_Man had a usually cheery grin on his face. He showed off his big gleaming white teeth while swinging the book as thick as a dictionary in his hand. "Why don't we play a game? Let's see if you can kill that little healer first or if I'll kill you first. Let me put this out first. My Safety Wall can resist around 3000 damage or so."

"You..." The swordsman deflated. While priests aren't combat-focused, the huge gap in level and equipment meant it was an easy task for the other to squish him and there was no way he could fight back at all.

After throwing a seething glare at XiaoYu, BattleOverlord changed into a set focused on Agility and Dexterity before running out of the woods as quick as he could.

"Boring." If I_Am_A_Poor_Man had really wanted to make a move, that little swordsman wouldn't have been able to escape. But killing children was not his style.

"Thank you..." Finally, XiaoYu's taut mind could relax. His body swayed. With a hand against the tree trunk behind him, he slowly sat down.

"No worries. It's our duty to protect those in the same field." I_Am_A_Poor_Man squatted down before XiaoYu and sized him up. "How dreadful. Your clothes are falling apart. How many times did he stab you? You're not even Level 20, right?" The swordsman looked to be nearly at his Second Job Change. It didn't make sense that the little Acolyte had been stabbed so many times and yet didn't die. Normally, he should be dead in one blow.

"I can't remember..." XiaoYu breathlessly replied. He placed the tiny cat on his knees and lightly stroked it in comfort.

"Can't remember?"

"It's been 4 hours." It was the longest 4 hours of XiaoYu's life.

"What? That bastard! I shouldn't have let him go." With some minor extrapolation, I_Am_A_Poor_Man figured out what probably came of it. What great vengeance was there that it required torturing a small Acolyte for 4 whole hours? If there was a grudge between them, then kill the other and be done with it. He despised those who love scheming and fooled around.
