I Hate Systems
chapter-523

"Kyak!" Gallo shrieked in a flurry as a group of Treants chased after him, hurling a bunch of attacks at him. Every time he was injured, he recovered almost instantly, scurrying forth nonstop as he tried his best to survive.

For some reason, no matter what he turned himself into, a certain sound that resounded throughout the battlefield distracted him, causing his transformations to come undone in a matter of seconds.

Thanks to that, he was detected time and again.

"Protect the Healer!" Bunuela shouted, leading a team of powerhouses as she leaped onto the chasers, engaging in battle with them.

Dust flew, boulders were smashed and large gorges were created on the ground as Gallo scurried through them all, facing his palms towards anyone injured that he came across.

"Gah!" Bunuela screamed as suddenly, a gash appeared on her neck, almost killing her. If not for her defensive artifact, she would have died here. But, despite that, she was gravely injured.

But right on time, a gentle beam slammed into her, rapidly healing her injuries. Bunuela erupted with a sea of flames, causing the subtle air around her to vanish. The attack by the air was the assassin System Host named Morlacle who had been trying to kill her, Balmer, Ranze, and Xuer all along, failing every single time thanks to Gallo.

'This retard is pissing me endlessly!' Growling in anger, Morlacle decided to focus on Gallo and kill him, no matter the price he had to pay.

Unfortunately for him, Silly Luck was an invasive form of Luck, so even if he were to exchange Gallo's Luck with someone else, Gallo would recover the Silly Luck more or less thanks to his antics.

So, killing him straight up was the sole option. After all, only instant death attacks had a chance of killing him. Any other attacks only injured him. As a healer with a Heaven Grade Martial Spirit, Gallo was able to heal from near-death states almost instantly.

That reduced the number of methods available to deal with him.

Boom!

Falls and Ranze continued to fight nonstop, retreating when their Origin Essence reserves were at the bottom. After all, the moment this happened, the powerhouses from both sides aimed at them, intending to kill them.

The enemy targeted Ranze while the Gaider Realm army targeted Falls. As they were at a stalemate all along, Ranze was feeling difficulty, unable to obtain a chance to truly kill the other party.

After all, unlike him that boasted vast luck, Falls was able to harness his luck, causing it impossible for him to die, unless his luck was expended.

But, his luck values were able to recover over time, creating a headache for Ranze.

"Falls, we have to kill Gallo first. Multiple of my attempts on Balmer has been thwarted by him. Now that Bernata too vanished, it would be our turn soon. Before that happens, we must do it…" Morlacle arrived like a phantom behind Falls, whispering with a solemn gaze.

"Fine…" Falls sighed, "Let me recover my Origin Essence. I'll launch a suicide attack on Gallo. You deal with Ranze and the rest."

"Alright," Nodding in response, Morlacle vanished as Falls retreated to their encampment and hurriedly replenished his reserves.

Immediately after that, he charged into the battlefield, this time displaying more vigour than before. Moreover, he activated his Critical Luck and charged straight at Gallo.

In the meantime, Morlacle began to harass Gallo, having ambushed and succeeded in killing the remaining healers. As Gallo was the sole healer left, a lot among the Gaider Realm jumped into the fray to protect him, shouting for him to head to the rear.

"Head to safety, healer!"

"I'll carry you, healer."

"It's dangerous here, healer."

"…please, I have a name…" Gallo muttered weakly.

"Healer, I'll protect you!"

But it seemed his words fell on deaf ears as everyone continued to address him as a healer. It was unknown as to when this started, but very few addressed him by his name, majorly sticking to addressing him as a healer.

After all, he was the best Healer in the history of the Gaider Realm, capable of treating all injuries, diseases, illnesses, etc. in a matter of seconds.

As his feats were so overwhelming, everyone began to treat him with respect, only addressing him as a healer. Though, they only addressed him as a healer on the battlefield to make it short and quick.

Before that, he was addressed with the title of 'Divine Healer'.

Even though Gallo liked that he was helpful to everyone, his wish was yet to be fulfilled. And his own fame worked against that.

Droves of cultivators jumped into the fray to protect him. After all, he had saved all of them in one way or another. And as they owed him their lives, they ensured no harm would befall him.

Moreover, he was the sole reason their trump cards like Balmer were still alive under the relentless attacks of their terrifying opponents.

"Dammit, so soon?" Ranze grunted in response, hurrying out of the camp as he transformed into a sword and blazed towards Falls soon after. Only he was able to resist this opponent. Anyone else was bound to die in a matter of minutes.

Kieeee!

The battle between Lota and Balmer entered its climax as all of a sudden, her strength was on par with him. It was apparent that she was expending her lifeforce to fight, having activated her Desperate Luck to the limit, already affecting cause and effect to gain an advantage over Balmer.

Xuer went high up in the air, transforming into her Ice Crane before flapping her wings, unleashing a hail onto the battlefield, targeting the figure of Ikun at the rear that was singing all along, amplifying the strength of his allies and diminishing the strength of his enemies.

Moreover, he was the one that was disrupting Gallo's thoughts, causing his transformations to fail and making him a target of the enemy.

Boom!

The hail of ice slammed into Ikun when a team of Martial Providence Stage experts transformed into hexagonal-shaped shields, forming a defensive sphere around him, protecting him from harm.

"Heh, you can't breach my Royal Guard that easily." Ikun grinned derisively.
