Chapter 464: Chapter 464 Blood Moon
 

“Such a violent feeling… utterly different from the Blood Descendants I’ve encountered before.

Captain Lucius should be more familiar with this than me. Let’s see how he handles it.

This creature, dependent on the “Blood Brew”, walks through the Mad Abyss, possessing an inexplicable vitality. If not handled properly, it may escape.”

Due to past contradictions, Han Dong tried to avoid offering any directive advice within the team, merely focusing on his role as a ‘Reconnaissance Soldier’.

It wasn’t long before…

A pale figure slowly emerged amongst the trees.

In response to this unseen Blood Descendant, Lucius showed little emotional change. Basing his observations on the sensations from the blood, he made a simple appraisal.

“A Fallen Blood Descendant that hunts by scent rather than sight.

Due to its excessive craving for Blood Brew, it suffers from ‘severe Thirst for Blood Disease’, even to the extent of absorbing all of its own hemoglobin, making it appear pale overall.

They have mad dependency on Blood Brew, with sanity long lost.

They should only be directly controlled by a baron or a duke… This control is also established on the basis of the provision of Blood Brew.

Even if we disguise ourselves as infectors, they would attack us indiscriminately.”

“Captain, should we kill it forcefully?”

Lunze had already prepared his Dead Spirit Skill, with a few bone fragments circling around him.

Lucius slightly brushed back his hanging hair and extended a hand to keep Lunze behind him.

“The vitality of this Fallen Blood Descendant is extraordinarily shocking. Traditional methods are unlikely to kill them quickly… If we don’t kill them immediately, they will use the environment of the blood forest to escape quickly, and our information will be leaked.

You guys just watch, I’ll handle it.”

The word ‘handle’ is particularly emphasized.

From that response, it was very clear in the hearts of Jane and Lunze that the current situation could be easily managed by the captain alone – there was no need for concern.

Only Han Dong was somewhat puzzled.

“Captain Lucius seems to be very familiar with these Blood Descendants… Did he already know about these creatures, or did he learn about them from the ‘Scarlet Knights’?

If I hypothesize a connection between Lucius and the Blood Descendants, I’ll need to prepare some backup plans.”

…

A fifteen-meter distance.

It seemed to be the ‘perception confirmation range’ of the Pale Blood Descendant.

Initially keeping its head low and walking slowly through the forest, the Pale Blood Descendant suddenly looked up.

Even though its blood-coagulated eyes lacked vision, they were focused straight ahead. Its nose was wildly twitching, seizing the scent in that direction… even a tiny whiff of Blood Brew could send them into madness.

Ah (Kachak)!!

A strange cry emitted from its throat.

Due to their endless craving for “Blood Brew,” these groups of Pale Blood Descendants had secondary organs, that is, ‘mouths’ for sucking blood sprouting all over their bodies.

Inside these bizarre mouths were ‘straw tongues’ for quickly sucking up Blood Brew.

Once in contact, they could bite and suck dry their prey instantly.

Ah~~ they dashed like mad dogs!

One rushed directly at him from the front of the forest.

The other two jumped quickly through the branches on both sides, squeezing towards Lucius, who was emitting a strong smell of blood, from different angles.

Due to Lucius’s prior instructions, the others had already moved away, leaving only him to face this situation alone.

Fundamental – Cross Crusader

Talent Tree – [Bloodslaughter]

As a Cross Crusader born, aside from his innate blood talents, Lucius specialized in a type of sword technique… The fact that he was able to be selected by the Scarlet Knights for a ‘high price’ is largely due to Lucius’s close combat abilities.

What’s odd is,

Lucius’s waist and back held no signs of any sword-like weapons. It felt as if he’d hidden his unique ‘sword’ through some special means.

Just like Han Dong ‘concealed’ his magic staff within his body.

Ah~~ The grim wailing grew closer.

With the Blood Descendants about to attack from different directions,

Lucius’s gaze was exceptionally cold.

A spinning blood formation appeared in his palm…

“What is this?”

Through the Little Demon Eye, Han Dong clearly observed the current ‘Blood Out Of Sheath’ formation.

As strands of blood flowed out from his palm,

The blood strands passing through the formation underwent precise weaving. In the fastest way possible, they created a Blood Sword specific to Lucius.

“Strange… Even though they are blood strands, why is the woven sword metallic? Could it be that Lucius has managed to masterfully control the Fate Weapon, causing changes at the very essence of the weapon? By dismantling it into strands of blood and hiding it within the body?”

The sword that Lucius held was a finely crafted dark colored metal rapier.

Apart from the dark gleam on the surface, it also had strands of blood inlaid in it according to a pattern.

It seemed to be able to draw blood energy directly from Lucius’s body, thereby enhancing the weapon’s combat power… or perhaps, there were special effects that Han Dang couldn’t think of.

Lucius’s thumb was on a sharp point of the hilt.

The rapier, as a living creature, rapidly sucked his blood… hence the sword body was radiating a dark red light.

Lucius’s right foot retreated a big step, and his center of gravity lowered slightly.

Facing the three Pale Blood Descendants charging at him from various directions, he took a deep breath as if it was a regular routine training.

‘Blood Moon Slice’

The bloody light flashed.

In an instant, Lucius completed a super-fast chop strike encompassing 270°.

The blood mist emitted from the sword just happened to form a blood moon in the air surrounding Lucius’s body.

Such swift and sharp chop strikes, though they appeared elegant in Lucius’s hands without any superfluous motion, were not inherent, but came from diligent cultivation.

As for the three Pale Blood Descendants, they were hit head-on by the blow from the Blood Moon Slice.

All the blood flowing in them was absorbed by the blade, not a drop remained.

The corpses that fell didn’t have a chance of resurrection.

“So powerful!”

In just an instant, even Han Dong’s Little Demon Eye could not get a clear view of that chop strike.

Dumps at one side was also startled, adjusting his glasses frames. It seemed that Lucius’s strength had exceeded his preliminary estimates.

Lucius pulled back his blood sword into his body. He motioned to his team and gave a straightforward explanation:

“The best way to kill them is to find a way to get rid of all the blood in the Blood Descendants.”

“Blood squad… have you gotten stronger again?” Lunze, who came closer, was also surprised.

“If I hadn’t made a breakthrough a while ago, perhaps Captain Shaia wouldn’t have allowed me to investigate this area… Lunze, you should have gotten quite stronger too, right?

Your Dead Spirit Skill is also these Blood Descendants’ nemesis. If we find ourselves in a dangerous situation, we’ll have to rely on you to clean up on a large scale.”

“Yeah, no problem…”

“Everybody, let’s continue on our journey.”
