After one cry, Judas' Embrace of Blood showed no reaction.

"teriri is the cutest in the world."

Judas' Embrace of Blood still showed no reaction.

"teriri is the cutest in the world."

With a loud "crack," a deafening sound came from Judas' Embrace of Blood, and Feng Chen quickly retreated several meters.

"As expected, important things must be said three times..."

The front and back of Judas' Embrace of Blood gradually separated, revealing a layered space in the middle. Sharp, blood-red halberd blades descended from the left and right sides of this space. The blood-red halberd blades spun rapidly, like a meat grinder. If Feng Chen hadn't retreated just now, he would likely have been reduced to a pulp.

Moreover, the attack range of this Judas' Embrace of Blood was quite wide, with a diameter of a full three meters. It could be used to mow down low-level Mortals and Honkai Beasts like cutting grass in the future.

"With this, dealing with the Herrscher of Erosion should be much easier."

"Please do not jump to conclusions so early, Host. You might get slapped in the face."

"When have any of the transmigration girls you've seen ever been slapped in the face? It's obvious that I'm the one who will be slapping others."

If Feng Chen were to be described in one word right now, it would be "inflated."

"Roar!" A huge roar came from outside the village. Without a doubt, it was a Honkai Beast. It wouldn't be bad to use them to practice.

"Detected that the opponent is a Temple-class Honkai Beast. The gap in strength is too large, please be careful, Host."

For convenience, Feng Chen had the System transform Judas' Embrace of Blood into a small red cross hanging around his neck, and he ran towards the village entrance.

Yae Sakura and Kallen inside the house heard the commotion outside. Kallen wanted to go out but was stopped by Yae Sakura. When Yae Sakura went out, she saw that Feng Chen was already gone and noticed the traces he had left behind. Thinking that a battle had occurred, she also rushed out.

In the forest, a bear-type Honkai Beast was causing a rampage, with a few wolf-type Honkai Beasts following behind.

Undoubtedly, that bear-type Honkai Beast was the Temple-class Honkai Beast, and the remaining wolf-type Honkai Beasts were at least Knight-class.

If it were just Knight-class Honkai Beasts, Feng Chen could handle them. However, this bear-type Honkai Beast was Temple-class and quite large. Its defense and attack were top-notch for its level, making it much more troublesome to deal with.

He stuck the blood-red cross into the ground, and the blood-red halberd blades unfolded and began to spin. Many nearby trees immediately fell, blocking the path of these Honkai Beasts.

Although these trees were nothing to the Honkai Beasts, it was better to stall for time. At the very least, the commotion here would soon be noticed by Yae Sakura, and he just needed to hold on until Yae Sakura arrived.

The bear-type Honkai Beast lunged at Feng Chen. Its paws were two to three times larger than a normal bear's, and its strength was immense; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it could uproot mountains.

Feng Chen drew his short blade from his waist and swung it.

The bear, influenced by Honkai Energy, had greatly enhanced strength and defense. Sparks flew as its paw rubbed against the short blade. Overall, Feng Chen was clearly at a disadvantage, retreating several steps.

Three wolf-type Honkai Beasts lunged at Feng Chen's back, aiming for his neck, his right hand holding the short blade, and his left leg, which was braced in a low stance.

"Sizzle!"

Purple lightning power erupted. Feng Chen released his short blade and used Xiao Yun's "Wind of Serenity," combined with the speed of the lightning power. It was more than enough to dodge the pincer attack.

The bear's paw swatted at one Honkai Beast, while the other two Honkai Beasts collided with the bear-type Honkai Beast.

The Honkai Beast that was hit only felt dizzy for a moment. After recovering, it began to bite and tear at the bear-type Honkai Beast again.

When wolves encounter an intruder, they will swarm together; this is an instinct, even if they are influenced by the Honkai.

"System, what's wrong with them?"

"It's just animal instinct. I don't have a hobby of changing instincts. That wouldn't be natural at all." This made Feng Chen extremely ashamed. Hadn't the Honkai Energy infecting animals already changed many of their instincts?

The gap in Level and strength was evident. The wolf-type Honkai Beasts were quickly torn to shreds.

The bear-type Honkai Beast once again set its sights on Feng Chen. In its eyes, Feng Chen was already its lunch, and he couldn't escape.

Two bear paws reached out to embrace Feng Chen. If this embrace caught Feng Chen, he would suffer multiple fractures all over his body the next second.

"Host, attach the Sword of Serenity to Judas' Embrace of Blood, the effect will be the same!"

Feng Chen used the blood-red cross to block the attack and attached the "Sword of Serenity" part from his Stigmata to Judas' Embrace of Blood.

The cross unfolded. Feng Chen leaped back, his toes landing on the back of the halberd blade.

The blood-red halberd blades spun with significantly increased power. The bear-type Honkai Beast was almost had its legs severed.

"System, why couldn't this attack kill it?"

"Weapon attacks are limited by the user. If the Host's strength were ranked among Honkai Beasts, it would only be Chariot-type. It's normal for Judas' Embrace of Blood not to be able to kill it."

Purple-red blood flowed from the bear-type Honkai Beast's leg, and the grass on the ground quickly withered, turning into Honkai Energy.

"Can I touch the Honkai Energy in its blood?" Honkai Energy from different sources can conflict. Because Honkai Energy has adapted to its original owner, forcibly transferring it to someone else can cause extreme discomfort or even death.

"The purity of Honkai Energy within Honkai Beasts is far inferior to that of Herrschers, please rest assured, Host. It absolutely cannot touch the Honkai Energy in your blood, as it would explode from the Honkai Energy within the Host."

Hearing the System say this, a simple and crude idea popped into Feng Chen's mind.

"I have a way..."

His short blade flashed, and bright red blood stained it.

"System, please calculate a route that allows me to dodge its attack and still have the short blade cut its leg."

"Understood. Also, Host, please note that your short blade, after modification, is made of a mixture of Honkai Energy and Soul Steel. However, the purity of Honkai Energy in Herrscher blood is not as high as mine, so the effect of the Honkai Energy in the blood might not meet expectations."

"Understood."

Silver threads appeared in Feng Chen's eyes as he widened them, staring at those few routes.

"Warning, these are not the optimal choices. The routes calculated by the System prioritize the Host's survival."

Feng Chen leaped onto a cross. As a bear-type Honkai Beast swung a palm at him, he stepped onto its arm and, in a few quick steps, landed behind it.

The Judas' Embrace of Blood was struck by the bear-type Honkai Beast, and Feng Chen felt a pang of pain. This was a weapon he had spent a lot of effort to create, a weapon with some power, and he hoped it wasn't broken.

The bear-type Honkai Beast turned right, its left palm probing slightly downward as its right palm swung out.

After dodging this strike, Feng Chen saw it holding a blood-red cross in its left palm.

"What the f*ck! That's my cross, have you no shame!"

""teriri is the cutest in the world!""

The blood-red cross unfolded again. Before the bear-type Honkai Beast could even swing it, it sliced off its left palm. There was no choice; who told it to grip the cross with its bear paw at the intersecting point?

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching for the author. Perhaps the title was just changed!
