Acquiring the Offering

"Phew... I actually succeeded."

These knights with mental issues can be gradually exploited through psychological manipulation to expose a huge weakness... Betraying the Holy City is no small matter, and these guys are terrified of it themselves.

Before the battle.

Han Dong, who was hiding in the back, had been observing the group of Fallen Knight.

When Lucius and Renze revealed their knighthoods, a look of surprise flashed across the faces of the three Fallen Knight, revealing an unmistakable fear of 'betrayal'.

It was precisely because of this that Han Dong chose to use an unconventional method to "win hearts and minds".

Gradually break down the opponent's psychological defenses, thus delivering a fatal blow.

As for how to make the arrow disappear, the principle is very simple.

If the opponent uses a real arrow, Han Dong simply cannot do it.

However, this Knight Tiffany happens to be inclined towards the Wind Attribute, combining his wind-based abilities with his bow and crossbow equipment, thus abandoning his reliance on ordinary arrows.

Such Wind Arrow are similar to magical attacks.

Han Dong's Lesser Demon Eye can clearly see the 'magical veins' and 'core' inside.

At the very moment the arrow was close, a small handful of Sand Needles, almost invisible to the naked eye, were used to quickly pierce the core of the arrow... and the Wind Arrow disintegrated on its own.

The rest was merely like a strong wind blowing on Han Dong, which was relatively cool.

Meanwhile, the magical duel on the other side also came to Victory or Defeat, and Han Dong couldn't help but marvel at Senior Lunze's skill.

"Senior Lunze's necromancy manipulation ranges from summoning hordes of undead with a wave of his hand to individually enhancing and precisely controlling a single Skeleton Soldier... His ability to kill a single enemy Skeleton Soldier is completely at the level of a normal knight."

No wonder he was personally chosen by Death to join the Knight Order.

Two of their companions were defeated.

The Lionheart Knight Order ' Barrett, who is currently engaged in a direct confrontation with Lucius, has fallen into a state of panic... With his defense-oriented approach, he has no chance of winning without the two offensive teammates.

and.

The magician Bill's defeat is understandable... it was due to a momentary lapse in judgment, which gave the necromancer an opportunity.

But the first archer to die, Tiffany, was quite strange.

Barrett wasn't even entirely sure how Tiffany had suddenly 'died'.

Their resolve wavered, and their will to fight waned.

Bang!

The Sword Slash.

Due to a misjudgment during parrying, the Black Crystal Sword in his hand flew out of his grasp... The Victory or Defeat was decided.

Thump...

In that life-or-death moment, Barrett abandoned his last shred of human dignity and knelt before Lucius.

"No... don't kill me! I became like this because I was bewitched by the Earl and forced to drink blood wine... please take me back, I am willing to accept any punishment under the Knight's Law."

However, immediately after Barrett said those words, he looked up at Lucius.

There was not a trace of pity in his blood-red eyes.

The blood sword was already raised in the air.

Lucius is not some kind, noble, or saintly knight... He is an absolute executor, carrying out the orders of the Knight Order and eliminating all dangerous entities that threaten humanity.

In Lucius's eyes, traitors like Barrett were dirtier than the lives outside the city.

Swish...

Obtaining offerings.

The headless body fell heavily backward.

Just as the three were about to leave the area, a strange crimson aura emanated from the surface of the headless corpse.

Barrett's headless body was disintegrating, and small, bright red tentacles were emerging from under his skin... His overall vitality seemed stronger than when he was alive.

"Hmm? The Humanoid Loss... the inner self has actually degenerated to this extent."

This guy has consumed far more Blood Brew than the other two traitors... The corrupted life form born from the knight's body is comparable in strength to an Otherworldly Demon. Deal with him with caution."

Just as Lucius and Renze were about to re-enter battle mode.

A dark shadow flashed by.

Without making any preparations, Han Dong rashly approached the headless corpse that was degenerating and mutating.

The syringe with metal trim emerges from the palm of the hand.

The needle is inserted into the flesh and then gently pulled out.

A syringe of blood essence was drawn into the syringe.

The distorted body immediately withered and, in less than five seconds, completely turned into a pile of dust... As for the syringe, Han Dong retracted it into his body.

The syringe used to collect "Cellular Essence" cannot be used on conscious individuals.

Barrett Knight has been killed.

The current anomaly is merely the subsequent fermentation effect of the [Blood Brew] within its body... Before consciousness is formed, it remains in State of Death.

Using this point.

Han Dong decisively stepped forward and used a syringe to directly extract the blood essence that was fermenting inside his body, eliminating the danger.

"You..."

Although Lucius was shocked at how Han Dong had done it, he immediately considered Han Dong's other identity and did not ask any further questions.

"Very well done..."

Lucius put his arm around Han Dong's shoulder.

The Breakthrough Point in this duel was precisely created by Han Dong.

Although even Lucius wasn't entirely sure how Han Dong had managed to 'trick' his opponent to death, Han Dong had undeniably accomplished it...

The necromancer Lunze's attitude towards Han Dong has changed significantly.

He, who was controlling the necromancer from afar, had clearly seen the psychological tactics Han Dong used and how Han Dong gradually disrupted the opponent's mind.

Therefore, Han Dong was added to a special list in his mind.

"It's just because Lucius and Senior Renze are so famous that the other side pays too much attention to you and ignores my existence, giving me an opportunity to take advantage of them."

Moreover, the senior students should have noticed it too.

These Fallen Knight were terrified of their 'betrayal' being exposed.

When they realized we were the Knights Squad, the fear in their eyes was evident in their facial muscles... We can use this to our advantage and seize the initiative.

Han Dong downplayed his own contributions, making them seem worthless, and then acted as a sycophant to further increase his popularity.

"Only cowards betray; they're just a bunch of bastards who deserve to die."

Return to the stone gate passage where three offerings are required.

When Senior Sister Zhen stared at the 'offerings' that the three of them had brought back, she couldn't help but be stunned... After all, the three of them were experienced knights, and the battle didn't seem to have lasted very long.

The offerings are embedded in the 'three-headed grooves' on the surface of the stone gate.

The mark rotates.

The stone gate has sunk.

"Hmm? It's different now..."

Compared to the Darkstone passages that resembled ordinary ancient tombs, this is a far cry from the previous ones.

The passage behind the stone gate was filled with scarlet color, and various soft, bright red substances, resembling nerve structures, filled the passage.

Obviously, after passing through this passage...

The team will enter the deeper areas of the Scarlet Hall, where the Royal Blood Brew is hidden.

"Let's go..." Lucius stepped inside without hesitation.
