The Heaven-Covering Robe was torn apart, but with the supply of Wen Yu's soul energy, it quickly restored itself. His physical body, pierced through, also rapidly healed thanks to the effect of the photosynthetic spirit pattern.
Faceless was no different from Wen Yu—holding the blood and flesh chapter in hand, the attacks of these dart-like objects, even if they could penetrate Wen Yu's defenses, would not be able to kill him.
However, thinking of Bai... Wen Yu immediately turned his head to look at Bai, only to see Bai's face pale, with transparent holes all over his body. There was even a penetration wound the size of a cigarette butt on his forehead, and a white, viscous liquid was flowing from that wound. Yet, in just a moment, Bai's body appeared to flicker in Wen Yu's eyes, and the next second, everything about Bai returned to the state it was in before the attack.
Time manipulation ability... perhaps... Wen Yu knew that Bai had various means. Such pure physical damage should not be able to harm Bai.
However, those flying darts seemed to sense that the three of them were unharmed. After penetrating their bodies, they immediately turned around, once again aiming their sharp tips at the three. In the next moment, the attack came in an instant!
The speed was as if it were light itself; Wen Yu only felt a flash before his eyes, and then a sting in his body. Everything happened so quickly that from the first attack of the flying darts to the end of the second attack, it hardly took any time at all. With his body torn apart once again, the photosynthetic spirit pattern activated once more, followed by the third and fourth attacks...
Even though what they did was only futile work, they still seemed to enjoy it, as if they were just programmed machines.
As the frequency of the dart attacks increased, Wen Yu gradually figured out certain characteristics of the darts—besides conceptual immunity to damage, no other defensive power had any effect in front of the darts. Moreover, these things seemed to be mere inanimate objects; the defense functions of the soul battlefield did not work on them at all. As for whether they were creations, Wen Yu briefly observed and sensed them, but he dismissed that guess.
There were no traces of Creation Energy present on them.
In just a few seconds, the flying darts had launched at least ten thousand attacks. Wen Yu was largely unscathed, as he had plenty of the photosynthetic spirit pattern, but Bai clearly could not withstand such blows. His face was pale as he shouted to Wen Yu, "Save me..."
Alright, this bodyguard task, at least from what it looks like now, is not over yet.
During these few seconds, Wen Yu had already found a way to deal with the darts.
The Dream Come True skill system was activated, and as Wen Yu's physical body collapsed, pain shot through his soul, making everything before his eyes seem to slow down.
It was as if he had manipulated the flow of time; the darts, originally moving at the speed of light, instantly slowed to a crawl. They moved straight and slowly through the air, leaving behind a pitch-black trail in the space behind them.
Just at that moment, a dart rushed toward Wen Yu. Now, Wen Yu could clearly see the overall appearance of the dart.
It was about ten centimeters long, thin on both sides and thicker in the middle, entirely jet black. However, upon closer inspection, it bore some complex patterns. It resembled a crawling insect, moving straight toward Wen Yu's forehead at a speed of a few centimeters per second.
Wen Yu raised his hand, and the speed was as usual, but the cost was that the wounds healed by the photosynthetic spirit pattern collapsed once again—second time for Dream Come True...
"Snap!"
With his fingers pinching tightly, the dart immediately halted its advance, its power completely dissipating as if it had lost its power source. Just as Wen Yu caught the dart, a prompt tone suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Guardian Type III (Mutated) (Race Foundation Level): Originally a foundation level artifact Guardian Type I, it evolved into Guardian Type II after being modified by a master, and then mutated into Guardian Type III due to special environmental influences."
