Nicole's Ability

The Earl had three pets with him.

One of them was Abel's target.

The two pets, [Bone Demon] and [Centipede], were left to Togu and Chen Li to lure away.

Han Dong deliberately kept "Nicole Little Claw" by his side.

She is currently the most aggressive and threatening of Contained Object beings, essentially a special being classified as a "familiar"...

Moreover, they belong to the royal family and have a small amount of "old king" blood... making them a cut above other beings of the same rank outside the city.

In the movie "The Mist", the "injured Nicole" corresponds to the highest level of ominous sign, number six.

With Han Dong's capture of Nicole, the "Illustrated Guide Information" was completed.

Nicole's Little Paws

Containment method: Perfect containment (Affinity meets the standard, level is relatively high, but it completely follows its own will, is willing to sign a master-servant contract, and become Contained Object).

Primary affiliation: Deep-Ones -Ones

Category: Octopus ≮Royal≯

Identity Description*: Familiar - A special life form resulting from the union of the offspring of the old king and a human. They can freely switch between human and Deep-Ones forms and enjoy dual attributes.

Combat Rating: C

Advanced Pathway:

①. Deep Sea Crystal: By absorbing the cores dropped by alien demons (deep sea type), you can obtain a certain amount of advanced energy.

②. Destiny: By following an individual to complete their destiny storyline, you can obtain advanced energy of corresponding difficulty.

Special Note*: After a member of the royal family successfully advances to a higher rank, their bloodline concentration may increase, deepening their connection with the "former king".

Competency System:

①. "Deep Sea Royal" - Greatly increases advancement speed (doubles Experience Points).

②. "Octopus" - Possesses eight lives and may release octopus tentacles with 'suction cups' (the number, sensitivity, strength, corrosiveness, etc. of the tentacles are all related to the main body's level.)

③. "Potent Hydrophilia" - Immune to water-based magic. In aquatic environments, overall attributes are significantly enhanced, granting super regeneration.

④. "Deep Sea Studies" - Allows the casting of unique deep-sea-related spells. (Specific spell names and information require further in-depth analysis.)

Based on intelligence and Nicole's demonstrated strength, her true level should be at the level of a Demon, as Royal Bloodline makes her a cut above ordinary Demons.

From the start of the war, Nicole hid inside Han Dong's body in the form of a pink octopus.

The current stalemate.

While they appear to be equals, in reality, the Earl completely dominates Han Dong...

The reason lies in the "loss of blood," which is precisely what makes the Scarlet Count so terrifying.

During the battle with the Earl.

Blood will flow uncontrollably and spontaneously from the pores, being absorbed by the Earl... This is completely different from the principle of "Life Drain." This is the result of the Earl's own "Blood Affinity." Opponents who do not have as much control over their blood as the Earl will continuously lose blood during the battle.

Moreover, this loss intensifies with closer proximity to the Earl.

The close standoff between the two maximized the loss of life... No matter how Han Dong controlled his body, at least 10ml of blood left his body every second.

This deadlock must be broken.

"Nicole, get him! But don't reveal your true form yet."

"Um!"

However... just as Nicole inside was about to make a move.

The Earl seemed to have foreseen the impending danger through a unique 'domain,' forcibly severing the Life Drain and unfurling his blood wings to retreat immediately.

Whoosh!

Four sucker-like tentacles, sticky with Seawater, suddenly grew out from Han Dong's lower armpit and side ribs.

Bloodwing flapped.

The slender and light Earl quickly followed behind.

However, Nicole's tentacles have unlimited extensibility. In "The Mist," she chased Han Dong for more than ten blocks before giving up due to special reasons.

The tentacles were not slow in their pursuit.

At the same time, between the suckers of each tentacle, a kind of Deep Sea Magic is being released - [Water Droplets].

Wherever the tentacles go, they leave behind a dense layer of tiny water droplets within a five-meter radius... Any living thing that touches these water droplets will be slowed down.

Besides slowing down the flow of water, the water droplets seem to have some other effect...

but...

The Earl's escape was based solely on the 'unknown,' not on fear of these tentacles.

The sudden Deep Sea Tentacles left the Earl unaware of their threat and abilities... After fleeing for some distance, the Earl gathered some information about the tentacles through his domain abilities and was no longer afraid.

Stop reversing.

With a gentle flick of his bloodied left arm.

Immediately, numerous Blood Filaments threads sprouted from the theater, precisely binding the four tentacles.

Before the Blood Filaments threads could be corroded by these tentacles, he Sword Slash in his right hand.

"Ah..."

Nicole let out a soft cry inside Han Dong's body and immediately retracted the broken tentacle into her body.

The part severed by the silver sword was completely burned away before it even hit the ground...

This scene caused cold sweat to break out on Han Dong's forehead.

"The silver sword... the 'silver cross' stuck in the Earl's wrist seems to be a powerful Sacred Artifact specifically designed to target life outside the city."

Nicole was instantly annihilated by the burning holy silver after her tentacles were severed.

The Earl himself was a being from outside the city, yet he used such a Sacred Artifact to 'stimulate' and 'seal' some of his own abilities. He was truly an absolute madman.

At the same time, possessing such a Sacred Artifact can also help him quickly invade the territories of life outside the city and restrain his own kind.

It's like a demon from hell using the Bible to purify and deliver other demons.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the Blood God entrusted the rare "Active Deed" to the Earl for management.

Combined with the Earl's aggressive nature, it can help the Blood God quickly acquire bloodlines and occupy more territory.

Unfortunately, I'm also connected to the area outside the city. If this [silver sword] strikes my head, I might die instantly.

Staring at the scene of the tentacles instantly disappearing.

The danger Han Dong felt was no less than that of the Old King Incident.

The Earl stared at Han Dong on the stage and exclaimed in a louder voice, "Your body seems to be mixed with a lot of strange things... I'm now looking forward to dissecting you from all angles."

Who knows, you could probably make a Manchu Han Imperial Feast just by using your body as ingredients! Hahaha!

Just as the Earl, with a maniacal laugh on his face, was about to approach Han Dong again...

The tiny water droplets that were originally floating in the air all gathered towards the Earl.

"Secret Technique: Deep Sea Prison"

The tiny water droplets quickly coalesced, forming a 3m x 3m x 3m Seawater prison centered around the Earl.

A strange octopus head mark faintly appeared on the surface of the prison cell, originating from Nicole's royal status... instantly imprisoning the Earl.

"Hoo..." Han Dong took a deep breath.

In such an opportunity.

Dissolve the full-body bond with the Duoze Crow...

Make Duoze Crow bond with the Crow Caller's Staff.

A two-meter-long Black Crow Spear was held in Han Dong's hand...

The G-Virus is fully activated, even growing a large amount of Proliferating Tissue to accumulate power... All this power will be concentrated in the next throw.

Lock the Earl's [Heart of Blood].
