Out of the City

Blood Knight: Lucius Torsel

Necromancer: Renze Fiji

Shadow Assassin: Jane Mikazuki

From a 'blood' perspective, Lucius is indeed the most suitable leader for the special operation.

All three of them were outstanding knights who were selected by the Knight Order to join the fight.

The three who have completed the breakthrough are completely different from what they used to be.

Lucius wore a set of Lucius Crimson Armor that fit his 'slender' figure.

Her long, smooth hair cascaded down her shoulders.

Without a helmet, a pair of blood-red eyes stared at Han Dong, who had just entered through the door, on his handsome face.

The fangs faintly visible between the red lips seemed capable of drawing blood from Han Dong and his group in an instant.

The aura he exudes is still the strongest among the three.

As for the former apprentice, Lunze, he has become a full-fledged necromancer.

The withered, emaciated body was entwined with wisps of the aura of the dead, which had never been seen before.

Having been personally selected by [Death God- Alex] to join the Terminus Knight Order, he receives excellent treatment and is currently wearing three pieces of exquisite equipment that he has never seen before.

The combination of bones and Destiny Metal creates a custom-made full-body bone armor.

A bone shield woven with rings of white bones and inlaid with skull crystals.

And a Dark Staff.

All three pieces of equipment are of high quality, especially the Bone Shield... which seems to be Epic Grade as well.

Han Dong had already heard what Senior Sister Zhen said in the previous Great Cemetery.

Because of that sparring session with Han Dong, he has further intensified his practice and now seems to be able to completely blend into the shadows.

His assassination skills were unmatched by any ordinary knight.

This is the knight team that Mr. Black and White 'deliberately' arranged; such an Elite Knight is enough to block most dangers.

Moreover, Han Dong estimated that Blood Knight Lucius probably also had some ideas about "Scarlet Villa".

Hello, seniors!

Lucius said in a low voice, "Mr. Black and White has already told us the basics... We will safely deliver you to the southeast of the Adalaga Mountains."

"Thank you, senior."

"Once we get you to your destination, we'll head back... We won't be responsible for how you get back."

"Good."

"Before we set off, I have one request! Regardless of whether it was commissioned by Mr. Black and White or not, since you have joined my team, you must follow my rules."

If we encounter monster attacks during our journey, we must act according to my instructions.

Furthermore, we need you to bleed them out.

Lucius took out three exquisitely engraved metal goblets that he had prepared.

"Each of you put 50ml of blood in a glass, and I will establish a temporary connection by drinking your blood... If I am separated from the team due to special circumstances, I will find you."

"Good."

When Lucius drank Abel's blood, he could taste the primal beast's blood contained within, a sensation akin to drinking strong liquor, which brought a look of great satisfaction to Lucius face.

"As expected of the eldest grandson of Commander Kaimon."

Demps's blood tasted unremarkable at first, but after being swallowed, it burst forth with extraordinary energy.

Lucius glanced at the student with surprise. He had already heard about the 'famous' Demps from Renze, but he didn't expect him to be so knowledgeable.

Finally, when Lucius picked up Han Dong's blood, he frowned.

Because he could clearly sense that his blood contained multiple impurities, including pathogenic fungi, malignant viruses, and even strange sand.

Lucius would never normally taste such 'inferior' blood.

Since the rules had already been agreed upon beforehand, he had no choice but to drink it down, saying without changing his expression:

"Alright, let's prepare to leave the city. When the soldiers at the city gate question your identities, simply state that you are ' Knight Attendant.' Mr. Black and White has already taken care of that."

"Good."

Just as everyone walked out of the bar.

"You guys get in the car first, I forgot to pay the bill." Lucius suddenly stopped and went back to the bar alone.

The Blood Knight Lucius, with a calm expression, stepped into the bar.

Whoosh! He instantly transformed into a streak of blood and rushed to the bathroom at top speed.

He braced himself against the wall with one hand and began to vomit, while simultaneously manipulating his blood to separate the portion of blood belonging to Han Dong.

"What kind of filthy blood flows through this guy's body? He even tried to contaminate the blood source in my body."

After tidying himself up briefly, Lucius immediately walked out of the tavern as if nothing had happened.

This time, we need to travel to an area 100 kilometers away to conduct an investigation.

The vehicle was a ' Doomed Carriage ' rented by Renze from the [Terminus Knight Order]... a Ghost Horse that emitted a pale blue glow.

Similar to the skeletal horses in the Great Cemetery, but these Ghost Horse are more mobile and do not require food.

It is a special horse created using materials from the Destiny Space and through high-level necromancy.

After showing their knight Identity Token, they successfully exited through the north gate.

Shortly after leaving the city, Han Dong quietly rested his right arm on the car window and secretly released a crow to inform the Crowman Tribe at the Stuart Manor that he had set off.

The atmosphere inside the carriage was still slightly awkward.

After all, it's difficult to completely eliminate the conflict between Han Dong and this Knights team.

Lucius sat by the window, his elbows resting on the windowpane and his chin gently supported by his palm... His handsome looks were in no way inferior to Demps's, and he possessed even more elegance and a unique charm.

"Abel Raine ..."

"What's up, senior?"

"I heard you're heading to the Adalaga Mountains to find a newly born Otherworldly being as a target for breaking its species. Do you have any information about that?"

"Have."

Abel delivered the intelligence he had been keeping for more than half a year.

"Chromagus, a beast-type dragon... seems to have nothing to do with the ' Scarlet Villa ' on the mountain."

But strangely, since the Scarlet Villa, protected by the Old King, already exists in the Adalaga Mountains, other races of Otherworldly beings shouldn't approach it.

Abel nodded in response. "Yes, it is precisely because this matter is so strange that we need you all to go together, seniors... If we encounter any other trouble, we will need to trouble you, seniors."

There was no unpleasantness between Lucius and Abel, and he also thought highly of this young junior. "Well... you just need to focus on preparing to deal with the Otherworldly Demons."

"As expected of the future leader, you actually chose a [Different Demon] to break the seed. How confident are you?"

"About 30%."

"So tall? I look forward to seeing how you do."

The evil spirits in the forest all retreated upon hearing the neighing of the Ghost Horse, allowing them to pass through unimpeded.

The journey took only three hours.

The ghost carriage carried the group safely through the Gayn Forest.

The carriage was parked at the edge of the cliff.

Across from them lies the continuous, towering Adalaga Mountains... However, to reach the foot of the mountains, one must cross a suspension bridge that stretches for 10,000 meters.

"Hmm? Blood..."

Just then, Lucius seemed to sense something and walked alone toward the bridgehead.
