Upon realizing the healing had gone to Watcher Skye, the atmosphere quickly turned rather awkward, with PotionHoarder reacting like the sky had fallen.
"What's the matter with you?" Watcher Skye raised an eyebrow. He was clearly dumbfounded by PotionHoarder's action.
"Yeah, are you trying to throw this siege?" Lanester chimed in and found his action to be confusing.
Watcher Skye was being a good companion and telling the scared healer to heal him back up. But instead of being grateful. PotionHoarder shouted at the healer and made them heal the wrong person.
"Is the healer a traitor?" Kralos suddenly interjected. This time, he failed to comprehend PotionHoarder's action and thought the healer might have been a traitor. Thus, the overreaction and the current expression of PotionHoarder who looked very pale.
"Hey, the four clowns. It seems like you really don't care about my presence." Xu Feng suddenly said.
Almost immediately, Kralos, Lanester, and the healer gathered around Watcher Skye in alert. Without a doubt, they went into a formation that was most beneficial to them.
Yet never did they expect PotionHoarder, their supposed leader to blatantly ignore the said formation and run to the opposite side of them.
"What are you doing, PotionHoarder?" Watcher Skye shouted in disbelief.
As an Arcane mage, he was equally squishy like the healer and should have been at the center.
"It can't be that you're the traitor, right?" Lanestart questioned, having taken into account Kralos' previous words.
Meanwhile, PotionHoarder was rendered speechless by the accusation thrown at him.
He wanted to shout to get away from Watcher Skye, but it was all speculation still. Not to mention, he was afraid that Eclipse Nova would suddenly make a move or not.
Till now, Eclipse Nova's action was unpredictable and eccentric, to say the least.
'Damn it, how come we have zero information about this Eclipse Nova?' PotionHoarder wanted to curse at someone but had no viable target to do so.
Sure enough, PotionHoarder praised his swift decision to avoid being too close to Watcher Skye.
Within the next second, Watcher Skye felt something weird emitting from his body, and his fellow comrades also realized something was amiss.
"Crap, everyone disperse!" Kralos shouted in alarm and tried to distance himself.
Alas, it was a little too late.
Watcher Skye detonated in place and the radius blast caught them all, resulting in them being knocked back and losing a big chunk of their health points.
Debris also scattered across, limiting vision in the process from the pile of dust.
Meanwhile, PotionHoarder sensed a looming danger and hurriedly tried to cast Light Barrier.
It was just a pity that his mana reserve had yet to recover, resulting in him losing all his mana from defending the blow.
The only saving grace was that his health points remained healthy, but PotionHoarder knew better than anyone now that having health points meant nothing.
"Damn it, just how many deadly skills does this bastard hold?" PotionHoarder gnashed his teeth in frustration.
Nothing could be more infuriating than fighting an enemy without any information on them.
It was the equivalent of fighting blindly and hoping to learn their attack patterns.
"I swear, youngsters these days really have no respect." Xu Feng uttered.
"Imagine daring to ignore your opponent time and time again. It seems like I seriously need to knock some senses on you. Though I highly doubt it would have an effect when you dared to provoke the Vanguard Guild despite the numerous past lessons." He continued and snapped his fingers.
In the blink of an eye, the Abyssal Phantom's killing intent rose, and began to assault PotionHoarder in every turn.
"Wait a minute, we can talk about this." Startled, PotionHoarder hurriedly tried to dodge and avoid the Abyssal Phantom's attack. Simultaneously, he began to drink a mouthful of his valuable Mana Recovery Potions.
"You're right," Xu Feng nodded. "You can talk freely with my summons."
Shortly after, he activated Dark Pact once again. Now that he had advanced a tier, he could summon two different kinds of creatures.
Aside from the original Abyssal Phantom colored in black, this new creature was colored in red and exuded a more menacing aura.
After all, this second summons didn't sacrifice 10%, but 20% of his health points, which naturally made it superior to the original.
PotionHoarder was rendered speechless when he spotted a second creature.
"Is this a healer or a Summoner?" He twitched his brows and wondered what kind of existence he provoked. For some reason, he found Eclipse Nova to be at another level when compared to Guild Leader Lin Feng.
However, if PotionHoarder were to know that the two people were in fact the same person, then he might have just uninstalled and quit the Divine World altogether.
Amidst his dazedness, Xu Feng wasn't idle and finally latched onto him with the skill: Ethereal Tether.
For those who forgot or were unaware of what this skill does, then they would surely remember it dearly after this ordeal.
Ethereal Tether linked two targets with an energy tether. If one target was healed, then the other takes equal damage to the heal. Additionally, it could be stacked with Anathema's Touch and amplified the effect by two times.
And Anathema's Touch had two effects from which Xu Feng could choose.
Converts healing done to a person into pure damage, scaling with the caster's magic power or healing's effect becomes tripled and greatly boosts the person's overall attributes by 5%.
"Whoops, would you look at that?" Xu Feng suddenly gasped and revealed his health points for PotionHoarder to see.
Confused, PotionHoarder was dumbfounded by his action.
'Why did he show me his health points?' He wondered silently. It took a split second before PotionHoarder came to realize that Eclipse Nova's health points weren't full.
'Eh, how's that possible?' He inwardly exclaimed. From start to finish, they had yet to actually deal any damage to him, so how was it possible for him to not be in full health?
His confusion soon turned into fear when Xu Feng proceeded to make his next statement.
"Oh dear, it seems like I'll need to heal myself at the courtesy of your generosity."
