Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 355 353- The True Side Effects

　　Cracks began to appear on his body, and his flesh had lost its softness. He looked like an old stone statue with cracks all over his body. He struggled to breathe or even think about something as simple as blinking his eyes.

　　His vision got blurry, and he eventually became blind.

　　All this time, Zach thought he was already suffering from the side effects of using the blessings. However, in truth, the real side effects had just started.

　　"What\'s wrong?!" Ninia asked with an anxious look on her face.

　　Aria and Misha glanced at each other and then looked in a certain direction, almost as though they could also sense something but not see anything.

　　Victoria, who knew nothing, could only stand silently. She wanted to help Zach, and she knew that crying over her hopelessness wasn\'t going to help him.

　　The thing Aria and Misha were sensing came closer than with the speed they could ever imagine. It was faster than the speed of light.

　　The only thing they could see was something shiny and pointy was thrown toward them.

　　It all happened so fast that they had no time to react. However, Aria and Misha weren\'t humans and far surpassed normal boundaries.

　　Aria didn\'t have any weapons, and her class was a Gunslinger who could only use the ranged weapon. But she tried to stop that object using her bare hands.

　　She grabbed it, but it was so fast along with the massive force it carried, only to realize that it was a spear. However, she was able to slow it down by a split second.

　　Misha took out her sword and slashed it into two. But it still kept moving forward as only the back of the spear was cut.

　　Victoria, who knew nothing, still struck her sword right after Misha and cut the remaining part of the spear. However, they couldn\'t stop the tip of the spear from hitting Zach.

　　The tip pierced Zach in the chest, which sent him flying to the other side of the garden, and stopped after colliding with the gazebo.

　　All that happened in less than a second.

　　It was understandable for Aria and Misha to react quickly to the attack as they could sense it and were ready for it. But Victoria surprised them all by striking her sword at the last second even though she couldn\'t sense or see the spear.

　　"Zach!" All the girls yelled at the same time.

　　They all jumped and rushed to Zach, whose body rolled down the gazebo onto the grass.

　　Ninia was the first one to reach, and she placed his head on her lap.

　　Aria and Misha reached soon after, and Victoria was the last.

　　"Did you see who shot him?" Misha asked Aria.

　　"Oh. I just sensed it."

　　Victoria placed her sword back into the sheath while saying, "Whoever it was, they mustn\'t have gone too far. I will go check and—"

　　"No. Did you not see that attack just now?!" Aria shouted at Victoria. "What if the same attack hits you? You are not going anywhere. I will go."

　　"I will come with you!"

　　Aria and Misha ran in the direction the spear came from.

　　"What should we do?" Ninia asked anxiously after looking at Zach\'s body. "Why does this keep happening to him?!"

　　"Let\'s get him to the church first. We are in danger as long as we are outside." Victoria looked at Zach\'s shadow and said, "Cerberus, come out fast!"

　　Even after calling for Cerberus dozens of times, no one came out. The connection between Zach\'s shadow and the monster\'s space had cut off. They couldn\'t hear or sense anything.

　　"Let\'s carry him ourselves," Victoria suggested.

　　"No. It\'s risky." Ninia shook her head and sobbed in tears as she said, "Look at his body. It\'s filled with cracks. What if we accidentally drop him and he breaks apart?" 

　　\'She is in despair. Even if I somehow manage to convince her that we won\'t drop her, she is in no condition to carry him.

　　I know what despair feels like and what it does to the person. I felt it on the 75th floor. I felt hopeless. I feel the same right now, but that will not help me right now!

　　I want to yell! I want to cry! But I can do that later when no one is looking. If I end up doing it in front of Ninia, then who is going to comfort her?!\'

　　Victoria clenched her fists and said, "I will go call some NPCs from nearby."

　　Victoria rushed to search for the NPCs while Ninia constantly healed Zach even though his HP was already maxed.

　　"Wake up, my Lord…" 

　　Tears rolled down her cheeks as she wailed.

　　Suddenly, Zach\'s eyes opened, and he took a deep breath to fill his lungs so they could provide oxygen to his decayed, dying body.

　　He sat up without moving anything in his body and looked at the wound in his chest, where the tip of the spear was still stuck.

　　"Argh!" He yelled in pain as the cracks on his body widened.

　　The tip of the spear got absorbed by Zach\'s body, and he began to cough blood. A few seconds later, he coughed out the tip of the spear from his mouth.

　　"..."

　　It was like a crystal with a red and black shade, and it reminded Zach of something similar.

　　\'This is…\'

　　"My Lord!" Ninia called out to Zach and said, "Your wounds. They are healing!"

　　The cracks on Zach\'s body closed up, and his pain faded away within a few seconds. He was completely healed, both physically and spiritually.

　　"That attack… was to help me heal…?"
