《Blue Screen Blues》Chapter 27: "Going Hollow"
Advertisement
With Liz laying down at Breanna's feet Ryan thinks hard about something he hasn't been doing. He slides his phones camera mode into burst mode and starts taking massive number of pictures and helps cut down the Shades that are Coming at them in masses.
"Fucking heal her!" Ryan demanded.
Breanna see's Ryan is holding his own with the Shades and she shrugs her shoulders
"Fine! But She better play nice or I am blasting both of you back in the ocean!" She screamed.
She casts [Blue Light] on Liz causing her wound on her back to heal up, and then she casts [Heal] On her as well. She then looks at Ryan and casts [Regenerate] on him to slowly recover his health and save her mana. She then takes a deep breath and Casts [Regenerate] on Liz as well.
"That's all you Get!" She yells.
"Why are the undead here! They weren't here 15 minutes ago!" Zephyr screams as she reaches into her backpack and pulls out a Battle Axe.
"It's because Vedra's Unholy aura kept these demons away from the island at night! Now she is gone There is nothing preventing them from attacking us! You stupid bitch!" Liz screamed as she stood up.
"Like I said I am sorry. I didn't know!" Zephyr shouted as she strikes down a ghoul.
Ryan while taking pictures, grabs Liz's hand and pulls him to her.
"Remember when I told you it'll get better? Cheer up. You get to face these "Demons" of ours head on tonight, and you won't be alone. I promise you" He said as he takes out 15 shades.
Suddenly the ground Quacks again, and everyone falls over. While laying on the ground they feel as if the island was being tilted sideways, and then the Island returns to normal.
"Ryan, I think I need to tell you something!" Liz said as they feel the island return back to normal. They can feel the island fall 3 feet.
"What is it!" He screams as he pushes himself up and takes out a wave of 20 pissed off Shades.
"This place is named Villano Island for a reason! And It's not because of Vedra's nickname "Villano". Villano Literally Translates to "Villain" In another Language. This place housed an Ancient sleeping demon that Vedra and I had to keep under control. Every 8 months. Her Un-Holy Aura kept the thing sleeping!" She screams as she fires [Shockwave] at a group of Ghouls that were charging toward Zephyr.
"Oh, you're not talking about that damn Warlock Pirate "Ponce the Terrible" are you?" Breanna shouts as she casts [Holy Canopy] over them.
"I need to take a break! This shield will hold for 5 minutes" Breanna said as she sits down and takes a breath.
"Wait If you can cast this shield, I assume you can cast Purgatory on all of us, right?" Liz said while leaning on Ryan.
Zephyrs sees this and gets angry. She knows when this night is over Her and Ryan are never speaking to each other again, but shes getting a very angry at the sight of Liz touching what she still considers "Her" Property.
"No, I'm level 25. Purgatory is a level 40 spell. If You die, that's it your dead. I can't bring you back" She said while shaking out the rainwater from her hair.
"At least You are Holy spec. These beasts are weak against your Holy magic and Ryan's Fire magic, and that weird device of his seems to take out Shades with ease" Liz said while sitting down by his feet.

Liz Conjures up 4 bottles of water that were in thin Glass like containers. They were about the standard size of your Ordinary wine bottle. She throws one of these water flasks toward Breanna and she catches it and smiles.
"Thank you! I had to swim for half a mile to get here with Zephyr. I swallowed a ton of saltwater, and I am so thirsty right now!" She said with excitement. She pulls off the top and chugs the water down. When she was done the container in her hand disappeared,
"I just want to let you all know, I wanted to be weird when I was in the Arcane magic academy, and I took the time to learn [Symbiosis: Mutualism] when I learned how to Conjure food and water. Everyone warned me it was a waste of points and time, but when you finish Eating or drinking something, I made for you in combat, I get 60% of Health or Mana you earned back to me. If I didn't learn this, I would be wasting away 10% of my mana every time I Make something for you. This right here is not a waste of time it grants me my Mana back with a sexy amount of surplus in battle. Liz explained with a smile on her face. She then takes a bottle and pops off the top and shoves it in Ryan's mouth, and as a joke tries to ram the bottle neck down his throat and make a sexual gesture with it.
"So, go ahead and Drink up and give me Mana!" She said with a smile.
Ryan who is a little weirded out by this grabs the bottle and coughs the water out of his mouth. He knows she is joking and doesn't get angry at her. He drinks this bottle of Purified water and it was what he needed after saving her in the ocean. He then looks over at Zephyr and see seems to be calm and friendly just staring at Liz.
Meanwhile in zephyrs head....
"I going to Fuck that bitch up! How dare she shove something in his mouth! That's my job!" she said inside her head with an Innocent smile broadcasting on her face.
Liz Rolls a bottle to Zephyr who was just staring at her and decides to just drink up and put her hidden anger aside and soothe her extreme thirst. All that swimming, and running with Breanna has made her thirsty, along with crying her heart out with Ryan and Liz trying to kill her has made her throat Extremely sore.
Liz makes 4 more bottles and hands them out to everyone.
"Hey Liz, this is a dumb question, but can't you just Teleport us back to Staug City? Or a nearby city that isn't being haunted by demons right now?" Ryan asked while remembering her teleporting out of the room he and Vedra was in before she kicked her out.
"I already used my Teleportation spell to get back from the Ala-Ash mountains. I can't use it for another 5 hours" She replied.
"Guys! My shield is about to Burst!" Breanna said as she stands up with her staff in her hand. They can see massive number of shades and ghouls surrounding them.
"Well then I guess we better buff up then?" He said as he pats some dirt off of Liz.
Breanna casts [Forbearance] on everyone and raises everyone's Vitality up by 300 health.

Then Liz gets up and casts [Envision] on everyone raising everyone's Intelligence granting them 500 Mana. With Zephyr not using mana, the spell just boosted her Energy regeneration rate instead.
"Are we ready?" Breanna Asks.
"Yes, we are. Damn it Zephyr! I wish we didn't have to fucking do this again!" Ryan shouted as he pulls out his cellphone.
"Like I said. I am sorry! Look lets just make it through the night and I promise you I will not bother you again". She said seeming a little sad.
"Looks like we are going Hollow!" Ryan shouts as puts on the Song "Hollow Bodies" from Blessthefall on Global.
As soon as the song started blasting the song granted everyone 5% Increased Regeneration of Mana, health and Energy and 10% spell power and Agility.
Liz turns around and hugs Ryan. "I Miss her so much" She said as she held him tight.
"I miss her too. But like I said let's get through this one day at a time" Ryan told her as he pulls out his sword.
Suddenly the Barrier around them Drops and the Undead come rolling in.
Breanna Runs out and casts [Holy Nova] around herself and this blasts back the wave of Ghouls that ware charging at them. The Aura also destroys the Shades that were inside her spell blast.
Ryan pulls out his cellphone and starts taking photos in Burst mode and starts Obliterating all shades in the surrounding area. With the Lightning and rain lighting up the island Zephyr charges out front and starts dealing with the ghouls head on and now being equipped with battle axes instead of just daggers she starts doing massive critical damage to these demons.
While taking care of Shades with his phone Ryan takes out his Sword and starts casting [Detonate] near the Ghouls that were surrounding Zephyr. The fire damage was extreamly effective and ignited the Ghouls next to them. He easily took out 5 ghouls with one spell.
Being Filled with Regret and Sadness Liz closes her eyes and Floats up into the Air and starts channeling [Arcane Blast] and starts taking out the crowds of Ghouls in the back. Ryan looks over and sees Another big huge wave of Battle Ghouls closing in on Zephyr. He drops down his phone and Starts casting [Fireball]. He casts for 3 seconds and takes out 5 of the 20 ghouls that were charging at her. He picks up his phone and then notices they broke through Breanna's sector. She tries to cast [Holy Blast] and ends up only getting 3 of them. The rest of them Zerg rush Zephyr and she gets stabbed in the stomach and she screams. Enraged and still angry at Her Liz looks at the Ghoul that's about to stab her in the back and while still in the air redirects fire towards those battle ghouls. She casts [Arcane Hailstorm] and Rains a barrage of explosive Arcane missiles in her proximity. These attacks hit her and at the same time obliterates the ghouls into a million pieces.
Breanna sees her on the ground and casts [Holy Shield] and then casts [Heal] on her.
"What the Hell! That Hit me!" Zephyr screamed.
"Your alive, aren't you? Don't complain you only get 1 save from me." She shouted in a dark tone as she continues to wreck hell on the ghouls from the air.
"Liz be nice! We are all fighting to Survive the night!" Ryan said as he helps control the shade population with Breanna and her holy magic.
Liz just stays floating above the ground and in anger lets out another [Arcane Hailstorm] barrage to the Ghouls that were charging from the rear.
Suddenly the ground shakes again and that weird Demonic horn blasts again. The Island feels like its leaning over again. They lose their balance and fall over, except Liz who was hovering in the air. The Island then returns to normal. It's as if something massive beneath the ground is trying to come out.
Then suddenly the Shades disappear and the ground under their feet starts rumble. The ghouls stop in their tracks and Disappear into dust.
"Whats happening!" Ryan shouts as he can feel the whole island shake itself apart. Suddenly a Lightning strike flashes Directly into the middle of the Island and then the island starts to heave upward again.
That Horn blasts again and a fault like starts ripping through the Island, and suddenly the West side of the island starts to collapse into the Sea. Liz knowing shes low on mana, comes down to the ground and starts drinking water. But the rumbling of the ground causes her to fall over. She grabs her water and starts drinking t in a hurry.
The whole west side violently falls into the water and then out of nowhere a Giant 7 story Jet black ghost pirate ship Arises out from the water with That Demonic Horn Blaring out. As it rose out of the water it Created Mini like Tsunami Waves and slowly swallowed the island that was on the West side of that fault line.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!" Zephyr Screams in fear.
"We just woke up somone who is 10 times Deadlier Than Lady Bella Anya Vedra!" Thanks a lot, you fucking Cunt!" Liz said while screaming in rage.
"What that's her Full name?' Ryan asked as the ship rose out of the water more.
The ships mast was black and had its sails coated with Sludge and Mud, but the Sail had the Letters
"YDGN" on it and a Skull and Crossbones. That Massive sail was huge and clearly visible.
The island felt like it was sinking slowly and leaning a little bit.
"We are all going to fucking Die now!" Liz screaming in anger while dropping to her knees and screaming in fear.
They could see a Man standing on the deck of this giant ship and he was smiling at them. He was to far away to get a good luck at him, but he turns his back and screams "FIRE!!!"
Suddenly the ship fires all 10 magic cannons all at once and green magical cannonballs can be seen flying like Tracer rounds toward the Staug Cities magic barrier. They detonate on impact with such great destructive force and forces the shield to go down.
"Reload and Fire on that Fort City! Prepare yourselves men for a Land Assault! We will take back what was ours tonight!" The mad Man screamed.
Suddenly an Emergency Quest pops into Everyone's Eyes: [DEFEND STAUG CITY FROM ATTACK!]

System Only Gives Me Useless Gifts
Li Yun grew up with a system that gave him useless gifts. He wanted a reward that could prove the existence of the system, but ended up with abstract gifts like culture. Without physical proof, he was stuck wondering whether his mind was truly sane, all the while dealing with the reality of life. How will the "useless" system help Li Yun navigate medical school, hospital politics, criminal cases, treasure hunting, farming and cooking? Author's Note: This is a slice-of-life novel about a doctor with a mission-type system. It's written as a faux modern Chinese novel, so there are many 1-off characters and episodic mini arcs. Just a bit of warning, the tone of the story is very different after the childhood arc and jumpy as it chronicles Li Yun's life. I'm trying to make it less apparent in the rewrite, but there are still a lot of time skips. RR is the rewrite version, no set schedule. See webnovel for OG. scribblehub is a combo of both . I recommend scribblehub since it has pictures. Copyrights of the novel and cover are owned by Chocomug. Novel is free to read and download for personal use, such as offline reading, only.
