The Azure Longsword

Chapter 421: Maybe this is the hang up

“This is the second skill.”

Peggy pointed at the little white mouse in the cage and hooked her slender finger.

"And then what?" Nora asked curiously when she saw that the little white mouse didn't move at all.

"It's called 'forbidden death,'" Peggy replied, "I deprived it of death."

She opened the cage, took the squeaking little white mouse in her hand, and twisted off its head with one twist.

Even though its head was separated from its body, the headless body of the mouse was still moving, and the other half of its head was squeaking... It was as if it had no effect at all, which immediately gave the two girls who were watching a chill.

Nora took the mouse's body and carefully observed the wound. She found that the heart was still beating and blood was slowly flowing out of the wound. Logically, the mouse would die in less than a minute.

But it didn’t.

She tried to activate her life force to align the mouse's head and body, and then heal and grow again. As a result, the mouse slowly climbed up from the table, but it seemed a little dizzy.

Probably due to excessive blood loss.

"Interesting." Sheila commented, "So, no matter how badly injured he is, he won't die? What if his body is destroyed?"

"I won't die either." Peggy replied, "It's just that maintaining the state of death deprivation consumes my spiritual energy every minute and every second. After the state ends, it will return to normal."

"Ah, I understand." Nora clapped her hands and said with a smile, "For example, the captain was pierced through the chest from behind, and his heart was pierced. Then as long as you, Peggy, put him in a state of death, and then I repair his body wounds in time and replenish the lost blood back into his body, then I can save him, right?"

Ask: …

As expected, you have already read my mind about what happened last night!

"That's right." Peggy replied, "But my skill can only last for six or seven minutes. If you are not resuscitated after the death-prevention state ends, you will still die. And if the target is already dead, it will be useless to activate it on him again."

Her expression was a little gloomy, as if she remembered something, and then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, the leader is not dead... No matter what the reason for his resurrection, he is not dead.

"I see. This is a very valuable rescue skill." Nora commented, and Sheila nodded in agreement. "Anything else?"

"The third skill is called 'Apoptosis'," Peggy replied, "I can make any non-living thing 'die' in the human concept."

She pointed to the wooden table where the cage was placed, and it suddenly collapsed as if it was made of sand and turned into black soil.

"This is..." Sheila picked up a piece of black soil and squeezed it a few times. "Is this the state of the table after it rotted?"

"Yes." Peggy whispered, "As long as an object has a 'lifespan', I can extract its 'death' result in advance."

"This skill can transform any object into its completely decayed state, usually turning into dust."

"Different objects require different amounts of spiritual energy to decay. Living things are the most difficult, followed by guns, then swords, and structures like concrete are the easiest."
