Chapter 113: The Power of a Tier 2 Bloodline (Seeking Collection)



Bob!

Although Karl had never met Bob in person, he had seen his portrait, so he couldn't mistake the target of this mission.

However,

Wasn't the target supposed to be just a Grand Knight?

How did he become a Legendary!

As a legendary knight, Bob's movements were unbelievably swift. He appeared in front of the couple in the blink of an eye.

Brandishing his longsword, he shattered the defensive magic in an instant, and Ben instinctively pushed his wife, Snowberry, to the side.

"Pff!"

The sword flashed.

Ben's head detached from his body and flew high into the air, blood gushing from his neck. His headless corpse swayed.

"Ben!"

"Legendary Knight!"

Snowberry shrieked in horror, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief. Duru and the others also turned pale.

"Watch out!"

Bancroft roared, waving his staff, and strands of electricity appeared.

Bob, who had just killed Ben with a Zero-Ring Spell - Lightning Chain, didn't stop there. He rushed towards Snowberry on the ground.

Zero-Ring Spell - Lightning Chain! The fastest spell, undoubtedly, was lightning.

"Pshh!"

On the ground around Snowberry, countless dense arcs of electricity suddenly appeared, and winding bolts of lightning fell.

The lightning bolts slashed, and even a legendary knight's figure couldn't help but stall.

"!"

A cloud of mist immediately appeared nearby, wrapping around Bob like a living thing.

Zero-Ring Spell - Misty Illusion! Duru also took action at this moment.

Misty Illusion was Nightmare Wizard's specialty, capable of pulling an opponent's consciousness into an illusion.

In the illusion, they would torment their opponent to death.

"Swoosh!"

"Swoosh, swoosh!"

Figures flickered.

With extreme speed, Bob's figure turned into countless afterimages, easily escaping the spell assault.

However, he couldn't continue his pursuit of Snowberry.

"Apprentice Wizard!"

Bob's figure landed on the ruins of the house, holding his longsword and looking at the group. He frowned slightly:

"I was careless, thinking it was the city's resisters making a last stand before death. I never expected it to be an apprentice wizard."

"What?"

He spoke coldly:

"Do you also want to interfere in the war between kingdoms?"

Bob was a muscular middle-aged man wearing a soft robe.

His high nose bridge, thin lips, and determined gaze exuded a strong sense of confidence and resolve.

The tangible battle aura and vast, surging life energy all testified to his strength.

Legendary!

A legendary knight who had completed the Life Promotion!

Duru's eyes flickered as he spoke:

"The Kolon soldiers are brutal and inhuman. We're only here to stop you from making more mistakes."

"He..." Bob chuckled:

"What a naive statement. War is inherently accompanied by slaughter."

"Are you from the Black Swamp?"

"Have wizards forgotten the ancient pact with the deities, stating that the extraordinary cannot interfere in mortal wars?"

"Mortals?" Bancroft shook his head:

"Are you a mortal?"

Like official wizards, legendary knights, in terms of life tiers, have already surpassed the realm of mortals.

"I'm different."

Bob spoke:

"In the ancient covenant, battles between legendary knights are also considered mortal struggles."

"He..."

"It doesn't matter!"

From the start, he suspected someone would assassinate him.

As the ruler of Rotar City for nearly a year, how could he be unaware of the Kolon resistance's movements?

Not only was he aware, but he also strategically deployed the entire defense force to create conditions for his opponents.

Perfect for a grand ambush! Only.

Bob also didn't expect his assassins to be a group of apprentice wizards. Otherwise, he would have definitely left a portion of the defense force behind.

Karl tightened his grip on his broadsword and glanced at Duru.

The target's strength was beyond expectation, a legendary knight.

Ben was dead.

Four people remained, one of them a high-level apprentice wizard.

And their opponent.

A legendary knight and an injured high-level apprentice wizard.

'First, trap Bob, then deal with the injured high-level apprentice wizard, and finally, join forces against the target.'

Duru, with his wealth of experience, made an instant decision.

"Attack!"

Zero-Ring Spell - Misty Miasma! As the staff tapped, thick mists instantly enveloped the area, covering half of the backyard.

These mists were unique, capable of creating different illusions based on the thoughts of those trapped within.

Once immersed, the miasma within the mist would corrode the flesh, eventually leading to death without pain.

However, Duru cast this spell only to block Bob's perception; it was far from enough to defeat a legendary opponent.

"Karl!"

"You stop him first; we'll handle the Pyromancer."

Before Karl could respond, Snowberry had already screamed and attacked, sending countless vines towards Bob.

"Die!"

"Go to your death!"

The loss of her husband caused Snowberry to lose her mind completely. She launched a furious assault with her magic.

Life Drain!

Sacrifice!

Thick vines, like countless living venomous snakes, rushed towards Bob, accompanied by various spiritual lights.

"Hmm!"

Bob snorted, his eyes cold.

Battle Technique - Gale Slash! "Boom!"

Countless thick wind blades appeared out of thin air, slicing through the approaching vines, which fell to the ground with a rustle.

The incoming spiritual lights were also knocked away by the sword blades.

On the other side.

Bancroft released over a dozen metal puppets resembling dragonflies, flying towards the Pyromancer.

Simultaneously, he waved his staff, unleashing lightning.

The lightning bounced back and forth between the metal puppets, making it difficult to predict their movements, as they attacked in unison.

"Hey..."

Facing the siege of two experienced Wizard Apprentices, the Fire Thief showed no fear, instead, he grinned.

Suddenly, he ripped open his clothes, revealing a body covered in burn scars.

The dense scars formed a bizarre pattern, resembling a twisted flamingo.

"Flames, heed my call!"

"Soul born from the blazing fire, come forth and destroy the enemies before me!"

"Boom!"

A burst of flames erupted from his body, transforming into a soaring firebird that screeched towards the sky.

"Screech!"

The sound waves from the screech were visible to the naked eye.

"Huff..."

The firebird flapped its wings, rushing towards the incoming attacks and instantly enveloping the approaching puppets.

The extreme heat caused the metal to melt, and even the lightning was devoured, becoming a source of its own power.

Although the Fire Thief was injured, he was a High Wizard Apprentice, stronger than Bancroft.

"Compound Spell!"

The approaching firebird startled Duru, changing his expression.

The so-called Compound Spell could be understood as a simplified version of a Tier 2 Spell, combining several spells, but unlike a Tier 2 Spell, it wasn't a complete whole, yet its power was equally formidable.

"Go!"

Duru took a step back, tossing the staff in his hand, and three grayish auras rushed out.

Bloodthirsty Wraith!

This was the Wraith that Duru had been nurturing for decades, possessing the power to devour the life force and souls of living beings.

Two Wraiths blocked the firebird, while the other charged towards the Fire Thief.

Seeing this, the Fire Thief couldn't help but panic, extending his hand to summon a ball of flame and pressing it onto himself.

"Ah!"

The flames scorched his skin, causing excruciating pain and making him scream in agony. His eyes, however, glowed with fervor.

"Flames, grant me strength!"

"Boom!"

The flames on the firebird above intensified, and his originally depleted Mental Power surged.

Even the injuries on his body were suppressed.

"Divine Spell?"

Both Duru and Bancroft were surprised.

The Fire Thief was not only a High Wizard Apprentice of the Fire Element but also a believer of the Flame Deity.

It was extremely rare for a Wizard to worship a Deity.

In ancient times, it was even a taboo, though no one knew why, and it had simply been passed down.

...

"Clang!"

An immense force traveled along the blade, causing Karl's arm to go numb, and he had to take a step back.

"Huh?"

Bob's expression turned to one of surprise:

"Your sword technique..."

"Again!"

Holding the longsword, he swung it casually, but the simple movement contained terrifying power and skill.

Ox-Herding Strike to Roof-Shattering Strike!

Plowing Strike to Fool's Strike!

...

The familiar feeling surprised Karl:

"Meyer Sword Technique!"

His family's Gale Sword Technique originated from the Meyer Sword Saint, but it was just an ordinary sword technique.

Yet, the opponent demonstrated the Sword Saint's renowned sword technique from hundreds of years ago.

Meyer Sword Technique!

"Not bad!" Bob nodded:

"Your sword technique also carries the shadow of the Meyer Sword Technique, but the path you're on now is different."

"Now that I've seen enough..."

"Die!"

His eyes narrowed, and the sword wind intensified, with countless sword shadows appearing around Karl.

"Boom!"

Secret Technique - Gigantism!

Karl's body trembled, instantly transforming into a six-meter giant, and the two broadswords in his hands also grew to over four meters long.

Battle Technique - Divine Punishment!

Hmm? Bob raised an eyebrow, his expression turning solemn.

Battle Technique - Gale Strike!

The clashing giant swords and swirling sword winds, the giant with dual swords, and the single-sword-wielding swordsman collided in mid-air.

"Boom!"

Karl's body shook violently, struggling to withstand the force and leaning back.

Still, he was no match!

The Legendary Knight's burst of power was terrifying, and despite his large stature, he was still at a disadvantage.

Before Karl could adjust his body, something strange happened beneath his feet, causing his expression to change drastically.

"Snowy!"

"What are you doing?"

Dozens of thick vines burst out of the ground, like sharp arrows, piercing indiscriminately.

Tier 2 Spell - Life Frenzy!

The resilient vines were like hundreds of twisted ropes, causing even Karl to pause.

The insane devouring force made his heart race.

Was he going to kill everyone, including himself?

Madness!

Battle Technique - Defense!

Crossing the swords, crouching slightly, the Battle Aura within him burning fiercely, forming an invisible shield around him.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The devouring vines danced wildly, then exploded one after another, causing Karl to stagger.

"Heh..."

Karl could block, and as a Legendary Knight, Bob could too.

His longsword possessed Demonic power, and with the enhancement of Battle Aura, it shattered the vines.

With a flash, he rushed towards Snowy.

"Whoosh!"

The sword light flew towards Snowy's throat.

Facing the incoming sword light, Snowy didn't dodge or evade, her red eyes glowing with madness.

"Die!"

"Go die!"

A jade chip appeared in her hand, seemingly out of nowhere.

Sigil!

Tier 2 Spell - Storm Goddess's Roar!

With the shattering of the sigil, a sharp, piercing sound wave exploded, visible to the naked eye, sweeping the entire area.

Damn!

Karl's eyes widened, calling out internally.

This woman was insane!

The sigil, replicating a Tier 2 Spell, had terrifying killing power, capable of severely injuring even a Legendary Knight.

Even killing!

But this did not include area-of-effect spells.

This indiscriminate sound wave, soul attack, affected not only Bob but others as well.

And so, the Legendary Knight's resistance proved to be far superior to that of the Wizard Apprentice.

"Pff!"

Bob, with his sonic powers, pierced Sydney's throat with a sword, then dashed towards Duru.

At that moment, Duru, still under the influence of the Storm Succubus' Roar, stood motionless, his eyes devoid of any reaction.

Damn it!

"Bang!"

Karl's feet trembled, and his body charged forward.

"Pff!"

Duru, having just regained consciousness, saw a flash before his eyes, and then his consciousness plunged into endless darkness.

At the same time.

The Fire Bird's summoner, also fell to Karl's sword.

The two High Wizard Apprentices,

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Die!

Their deaths were indeed pitiful, solely because a woman's madness, and before they could recover, they were slain.

Otherwise,

With the High Wizard Apprentice's means, killing them would not have been so easy.

The battlefield fell silent.

The remaining three individuals were positioned at the vertices of a triangle.

Compared to the other two, Karl transformed into a towering giant, standing at a height of six meters, drawing significant attention.

"Umm..."

Bob shook his head, his eyes filled with bloodshot veins, and his ears stained with blood.

But the impact seemed minimal.

"Lay down your weapons and surrender, pledging allegiance to the king."

He looked at the two, speaking softly with a cold voice:

"I can consider sparing your lives!"

"Hmph!" Bancroft snorted:

"You're only one person, and you're injured. We have two people here, and it's not certain who will win or lose."

"Karl."

He signaled with his eyes:

"Hold him off for a while. I'll cast a spell to assist. The more people who die, the more glory we'll share in the end. If that's what you're thinking, then it's a good thing."

He spoke, shaking his sleeves, and a swarm of bee-sized puppet insects flew out, instantly forming a cluster in mid-air.

Karl's eyes flickered:

"Alright."

The two joined forces, still having a great chance, but revealing their hidden abilities might invite trouble.

"Heh..." Bob chuckled, seemingly mocking their overconfidence. His body flashed as he charged forward:

"Since you've chosen death, I'll open the gates of hell for you."

"Swoosh!"

He didn't choose the obviously less agile Karl, but still targeted the Wizard Apprentice.

"Buzz!"

Karl raised his sword, pointing it.

Minor Spell Field!

Gravity Control!

...

Bancroft waved his staff, and a barrage of Arcane Missiles rained down, forming a shower of light as they fell towards their target.

Bang! The ground trembled.

Karl wielded his two swords, slashing towards Bob.

"Buzz..."

The puppet insects buzzed and screeched, coordinating with Karl and the Arcane Missiles to attack together.

With this, Karl's advance was halted.

Battle Skill - Gale! Countless sword winds emerged from Bob's hands, enveloping half the courtyard in an instant. Despite Karl's massive body, he was still covered by the sword winds.

"Boom!"

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The explosion reverberated.

Bancroft's puppet insects exploded, covering both combatants in a swarm.

Damn it!

Karl gritted his teeth, feeling both anger and disbelief.

What the hell?

"Swoosh!"

Taking advantage of the explosion, Bancroft created a gust of wind beneath his feet and dashed towards the distance.

He was escaping! Compared to Karl's caution, his words were empty promises, with no intention of fighting to the death.

"Heh..."

Bob scoffed:

"This is what wizards are like. They claim to have wisdom and intelligence, but in reality, they're cowardly and weak, and such people are not worthy of trust."

As he spoke.

The Legendary Knight's speed was already astonishing, and Bob was known as the Gale Knight.

With full force, he charged like a raging gale.

Just as Bancroft had escaped not far away, a piercing scream escaped his mouth, and cracks appeared on his body, causing chunks of flesh to fall to the ground.

"It's a pity."

Bob turned:

"Your companion is not a qualified warrior. If you have another life, remember to find a worthy opponent."

Battle Skill - Bloom!

"Swoosh!"

With extreme speed, Karl's body created afterimages, each wielding a long sword, attacking simultaneously.

Battle Skill - Repulsion!

Karl's body trembled, and a massive repulsive force emerged, blocking the incoming attacks.

At the same time, his back muscles rippled, and thick, fleshy tentacles extended, grasping and clawing towards him.

Bloodline Progress: 5%

At this moment, the Abyssal Bloodline was no longer illusory but manifested in physical form, each tentacle as flexible as an arm.

Terror Aura!

The innate ability of a Tier 2 creature, causing Bob to freeze in place, his eyes flickering with a hint of delusion.

But only for a moment, as he quickly regained his sanity.

However, it was enough.

The tentacles lashed, and the two swords swept horizontally.

"Boom!"

The ground trembled.

A figure was blasted away.

"Pff!"

Bob spat blood, his face contorted as he looked at the 'thing' before him:

"What kind of monster are you?"

"Monster?"

Karl shook his head lightly.

Under the thick fog, his body was massive and distorted, and over a dozen thick, fleshy tentacles extended from his back, dancing wildly.

Those tentacles were robust and powerful, covered in a layer of viscous fluid, with suction cups on the surface emitting a terrifying dark glow, dancing in the air, curling and extending, each one seeming like an independent entity.

Karl's face was shrouded in a dark and gloomy glow, his eyes deep and icy, as he brandished two giant swords, his very existence instilling endless fear and oppression.

"This is Bloodline Magic!"

"Hmph!"

He snorted and charged forward with a stomp:

"Without those useless things, I can still kill you!"

"Huff..."

The giant sword whipped up a gale, stirring up the rubble, sand, and dirt, causing Bob to squint instinctively.

"Clang!"

The blades clashed, sending sparks flying.

Before Bob could react, flexible tentacles emerged from all directions, attacking him.

The tentacles were tough, with serrated suction cups on the inside, capable of tearing off a chunk of flesh with a single bite.

If he were to be caught...

He would surely die!

Battle Skill - Eagle Dance! With the battle skill's blessing, Bob's speed increased again, allowing him to nimbly weave through the numerous attacks.

"Escape?"

"Is that all you know how to do?"

Karl waved his broadsword and roared loudly:

"A legendary knight, hiding like a mouse, not even daring to face me head-on."

"You think..."

"You can get away?"

Supreme Seal - Earthshaker! Karl lifted one foot and stomped hard on the ground.

"Boom!"

The earth trembled for dozens of meters, rippling like a pond, and Bob's figure staggered out.

Immediately, he was surrounded by several thick stone pillars.

"Boom!"

"Looking for death!"

Bob burst out of the stone pillars, his teeth clenched, and roared as he charged towards Karl, who was also enraged:

"Die!"

"Swish!"

"Swish swish!"

Bob's figure flickered as he weaved around Karl, occasionally swinging his longsword, leaving sword marks on the tentacles and Karl's body.

Battle Skill - Gale! Battle Skill - Divine Punishment!

"Boom!"

The two figures, one large and one small, clashed in midair, and amidst the roar, Bob's body tumbled and fell into the ruins.

As Karl rose to fight again, his body leaned back, and suddenly, several blood holes appeared on his chest, and a tentacle burst, spraying blood.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang!"

What was that?

"Bang!"

"Clang..."

Karl swung his sword, blocking several incoming bullets, and frowned as he looked towards the figures rushing in from all sides.

The commotion naturally alerted the remaining guards in the courtyard, who now rushed in.

In the thick fog, everything was unclear, but a six-meter-tall giant was unmistakable.

The power of the musket was not weak, and even Karl, who had fused with a Tier 2 Abyssal creature, couldn't completely resist it.

"Haha..."

Bob laughed:

"Monster, what can you do now?"

Battle Skill - Gale Wheel! The longsword spun, and with the cooperation of the musketeers, it slashed wildly around the giant.

"Ah!"

Karl roared in anger, and in a short moment, the tentacles behind him were chopped into pieces by the opponent, falling to the ground and bouncing, while his body also bore numerous wounds.

"Scream!"

Bob's face turned icy:

"Keep screaming!"

Although he was a legendary knight, he hadn't been legendary for long, and in terms of pure strength, Bob was actually much weaker than Karl at this moment.

However,

He was fast! Most legendary creatures were large in size, strong in power, but relatively slow in movement speed.

Bob was different.

His movement speed was at least twice that of Karl's, and he still maneuvered effortlessly amidst the numerous offensives.

Moreover, the longsword in his hand was a gift from the King of Kolon to a close friend, possessing a unique demonic-breaking power, so it was hardly affected by magic.

Not to mention he also had helpers.

Bang! The two clashed again.

Karl tumbled and broke through a high wall, with only a few remaining tentacles probing into the mist.

"Swish!"

"Pff!"

A thick, slimy tentacle emerged from the mist, grabbed a soldier, clenched tightly, and devoured the soldier's life force.

"Pffft!"

Karl's body trembled, and the broken tentacle behind him, covered in sticky liquid, grew back.

Even the ferocious gash on his body healed at a visible speed.

A Tier 2 Abyssal creature!

According to legend, it was a being that could even withstand angels, and its powerful bloodline also made Bob's face change drastically.

"Don't get close to him!"

"Why not?"

Karl revealed a sinister smile, leaped into the foggy crowd, and his tentacles behind him lashed out, roaming and weaving through the ground, reaching for the terrified soldiers.

One by one, the soldiers were lifted high by the tentacles, turning into white bones amidst screams, their life force completely devoured.

As Karl slaughtered, his injuries became lighter.

"Boom!"

The two clashed again, and Bob, with worsened injuries, tumbled and fell to the ground, his eyes finally showing a hint of terror.

"You want to escape?"

A terrifying figure rushed over at high speed:

"Too late!"

A sigil exploded in mid-air, and extreme cold instantly enveloped half the courtyard, with howling cold winds raging.

Sigil - Ice Storm!

If Bob had been in perfect condition, he might have been able to dodge, but now...

His body stiffened, and thin ice crystals covered his body.

"Got you!"

A thick, slimy tentacle emerged from the mist, grabbed Bob, and lifted him high, while two giant swords attacked from both sides.

"Pff!"

Blood and flesh splattered.

A moment later.

Karl shrank, trembling, his face pale.

"Forcibly activating the bloodline has serious side effects, but at least the problem is solved."

He took a deep breath, rushed into the ruins, collected the spoils of war one by one, and then waved his hand to summon a magic carpet.

Let's go! Leave first, then talk.
