Red and Black

This is the true meaning of a "Red Banquet".

Every drop of liquid that overflows from the narrow crevice will transform into strange strands of Blood Filaments that dangle back and forth in the air.

Due to venue issues, far too many performers were executed on the spot for failing to deliver a performance in the Earl's Private Theater... their souls were imprisoned there.

Currently, their Spirit Body are also indirectly manifested through the overflowing blood.

Various Blood Face spilled from the walls.

Blood-red footprints appeared throughout the theater, accompanied by footsteps.

Blood Handprint kept appearing on the back of each table and chair.

On the black piano on the stage, a pair of bloody hands, formed by the overflowing blood, play the Earl's favorite piece, "Don Juan".

In this densely packed space of Blood Feast.

If Ordinary Knight were to be in this place, he would also suffer from extremely strong pollution effects... visual, auditory, and direct physical intrusion pollution.

If one cannot kill the Earl or escape the theater within a certain time, one will inevitably fall into the form of a bloodline mutant.

Of course, these are just environmental issues.

Blood Feast is about to begin.

The location at the main entrance of the theater.

The silver cross was pulled from the wrist, the Seal Broken, and the skin was separated.

The "Conical Goggles" worn on the Earl's face were also removed at this moment... For the first time in ten years, the Earl revealed his true nature.

Countless blood bats flapped their wings and hovered above the Earl's head.

Black hair drifted in the air.

The Crimson Eyes gazed upon the outside world as if from the Depths of a bat cave in the abyss.

The screams of the dead continued to emanate from the gaping crimson mouth.

Six skulls, continuously oozing blood, floated behind the Earl, arranged in a circle at equal intervals.

The two completely 'blood-tinged' arms, maintained in the form of five-fingered hands by wearing a pair of white gloves imprinted with heraldry, were used to wield the True Silver Holy Sword that could subdue all evil.

One point that needs to be specifically noted is...

After the seal was broken, the Earl's arm displayed a "bloodhound" structure:

A bloodhound skull structure about two meters long grew out of the side of the upper arm... The whole thing exuded an extremely terrifying aura and even had strong polluting properties.

Bloodhounds have a gaping maw with razor-sharp teeth, capable of opening their entire heads completely.

The long tongue droops between the canine teeth.

The Dog Head was also irregularly covered with eyeballs of various sizes...

The "Bloodhound Structure" is the result of the Earl's specialization of "Crimson Tentacles" as a life form outside the city, a unique ability of the Mature Body - the Otherworldly Demon.

("Tentacles" are one of the main characteristics of life outside the city.)

Higher-level beings can cause unique changes to their tentacles—basic structural alterations and ability advancements. Besides possessing basic contamination invasion capabilities, they will also gain corresponding advanced abilities.

The bloodhounds that grow on both sides of the upper arm can also extend indefinitely like tentacles to track enemies.

The Earl's torso and lower limbs, however, still retained a human form.

He took off his coat, leaving him only in a vest and trousers.

The True Silver Holy Sword, which is effective against all evil spirits.

Specialized blood dog structure with tentacles

Six blood-soaked skulls floating behind the Earl

Each of these abilities posed a significant threat to Han Dong; a single misstep could lead to his drowning in this thick pool of blood, never to be reborn.

The piano melody of "Don Juan" made the Earl, who was completely letting go of himself, dance involuntarily, step by step walking towards Han Dong, who was located in the stage area.

They held a banquet for the young lord, in what was already the most 'grand' reception.

"Duoze Crow, don't pee on me... You only need to do one thing now."

"Huh?"

"See those blood bats hovering overhead? You just need to eliminate these ordinary blood constructs and minimize the chances that the Earl will use the bats to heal himself."

"Take the men... aren't you going to run?"

"If you utter another word, I'll roast you and eat you right next time we get back..."

"Gah... If we can really go back, I'm willing to offer up a crow's wing and roast it myself for you, sir."

Duoze Crow forcibly suppressed the urge to urinate and flew away from Han Dong's shoulder.

How should we deal with this situation?

Nicole is weakened due to the injury to her tentacles and the depletion of her deep-sea energy, making her temporarily unable to engage in combat... At present, only Han Dong can deal with this situation.

"Phew... Thanks to the in-depth exploration of the G-Virus in the movie 'The Mist,' my body should be able to withstand the changes to come."

Staring at the Scarlet Count who was dancing wildly.

Han Dong tried his best to remain calm, bringing his thoughts back to himself and focusing on the upcoming 'changes'.

"Elder Mizya, let's begin..."

At Han Dong's command, Crow Elder Mizya, who had been hiding for a long time, poked his head out.

The dark purple neck feathers symbolize the identity of Elder Mizya.

That's right.

Han Dong secretly brought along his subordinates and teachers from the Crowman Tribe, with the aim of forming a "deep bond".

Since it can fuse with the Duoze Crow.

Thanks to the Ravenman affinity of the "Crow Caller" staff, Han Dong was able to merge with elder-level beings... Moreover, Han Dong and Elder Mizya were also proficient in the same Ravenman secret arts.

Merging with the Otherworldly Demons would be completely different... This fundamentally changed Han Dong.

Gaa...

A series of black ripples spread from the soles of Han Dong's feet.

The tentacles floating in the gaps of the stage were quickly drained of their life force when they came into contact with these black ripples.

Duoze Crow is just Two-Headed Crow Person, and leans towards 'aggressiveness'... Therefore, after merging with Han Dong, it largely manifests as an increase in 'mobility'.

Elder Mizya is different.

In the Crowman Tribe, Mizya also has a special title - "Life Plunderer". He is the only special Crow People in the entire tribe who is proficient in life-based Dark Magic, and all his abilities are biased towards Dark Magic.

This Fusion Covenant will completely transform Han Dong into an unadulterated Arakkoa Grand Mage.

Black feathers, miasma, and dim light flickered on the stage.

It seems a dark magic show is underway, so much so that the Earl has temporarily lost sight of his target.

Aww~ Ah!

A Dog Head, with its gaping maw ripped open, leaps swiftly into the miasma swirling around the stage through its infinitely expansive form.

"The nature has changed... the Death Domain?"

When they returned from the miasma, only a dead crow remained, its jaws locked between its canine teeth.

The skin on the Dog Head showed Necrotic Structure... Although this level of injury could heal instantly, the situation became somewhat strange.

Just as the Earl was looking around, searching every corner of the theater.

A Death Beam suddenly shot out from the miasma-filled stage.

The bleeding skull hovering behind the Earl simultaneously condensed into beams of blood, clashing head-on...

When the two energies collided, they were evenly matched... or rather, due to the elemental advantage, the Death Beam had a slight edge.

Bite him to death!

This time, both Dog Head simultaneously plunged into the miasma area, interrupting the release of the Death Beam.

However, when the Dog Head was retracted, only a dead crow was still hanging from its beak...

They had no idea where Han Dong had gone.
