Chapter 106

Ryan: "..."

You're the unlucky one, your whole family is unlucky.

You shorty, you're not allowed to talk about my first wife.

"Anyway, be careful. Contact me if anything happens. If there's danger, let Gruk handle it first. Don't be reckless."

After giving his instructions, the Grand Duke left in a hurry, indicating that the situation was indeed not ideal.

Ryan for a while. It seemed that a large-scale war had also broken out in the storyline of the game Riogus. He originally thought it was caused by the priest in Berman City, but now it seemed that it was not. A priest of that scale could not have caused the power of the entire Chaos Space to surge. If it were that simple, the world would have been destroyed long ago.

"If anyone ever tells me again that the plot of an adult game isn't important, I'll argue with them!"

Ryan vowed that if he ever had the chance to play eroge in the future, he would read the plot word by word, even the parts that made him exclaim "Oh yeah!" or "Ahhh!" He would read them carefully and attentively.

"This is so annoying."

"Since things have come to this... let's go to sleep."

So sleepy. I'll leave the Western Territory to 'Lin Qi'. Time for bed (￣o￣). z Z

Early the next morning, Ryan instructed 'Ina' to strengthen patrols of the territory and immediately take control of any rifts in the Inner World discovered.

It's already appeared in Kells' area, so it's probably only a matter of time before it spreads here as well.

However, he didn't care too much. The border was already chaotic, so even if there was a demon tide, it wouldn't affect anything. It would just mean that hell was empty and demons were on earth. The world was in chaos, and it wasn't just his family that was in chaos. What was there to be afraid of?

Besides, the Blood God Legion is great; my 'Shally' just happens to be lacking in experience for leveling up.

Speaking of 'Shally', Ryan opened the game and found that 'Shally' and 'Vainay' were already holding hands and walking against the wall, entering the Inner World.

Yesterday, she was chased all over the place by the Blood Hand Butcher, but today, with her second sister's help, 'Vainay's' back is straight.

I rushed to the altar, but the monsters I killed yesterday hadn't respawned yet... Well, the demons in the Inner World aren't part of the game mechanics, and they're different from the evil spirits and treasure chests that spawn outside.

The altar was still there, but the Blood Hand Butcher was gone. 'Vainay' walked over, and the altar's array was reactivated. Then the Soul Singer began her chanting again.

Immediately afterwards, the Butcher's Shadow appeared.

When 'Shally' came over, she brought a few Blood Minions with her. The Blood Minions went up to block the way, while she started to increase her Blood Intent stacks. The 30% health bonus is key to surviving damage, otherwise Ryan wouldn't have dared to call her over.

As for 'Vainay's' pets, they were released to stand in a row on the sidelines, to serve as the main damage dealers later.

You can't withstand the damage, but the Exiles are elite monsters after all, and the damage from six of them together is higher than that from 'Vainay' and 'Shally'.

Bang!

When the last Blood Minions was killed, 'Shally's' Blood Intent reached level ten. Blood God's Blessing directly brought a 30% increase in health and a 30% increase in damage. This super overpowered skill truly lived up to its reputation as the chosen one of the Blood Divine Path. It was incredibly satisfying to watch.

Blood Intent builds up!

Blood Control Enhancement!

888 All Attribute Bonus!

Soul Collection & Enhancement!

The four status buffs are stacked on 'Shally'.

At this moment, Blood Hand Butcher Barton killed Blood Minions and was slashing at 'Shally' with his sword. This blow reduced 'Shally's' health by about one-fifth, but 'Shally' retaliated and almost fully recovered after using Bloodlust.

Is the Blood Knight just a tank?

No!

Although she is an uncensored knight, her attack power is not low at all. The damage she deals to the Blood Hand Butcher triggers her healing ability, which is enough to fully restore the health she lost.

"Wow, that's really strong. Its stats are much better than those of a level 30 elite monster."

Ryan was absolutely in love with 'Shally'.

As we all know, Game Character generally have lower stats compared to game monsters, especially in terms of health and attack. Usually, you have to be a level above the boss to fight a high-level boss. Unless you're in a team, you can only slowly whittle down a high-level boss by playing solo.

But that would generally turn it into a Souls-like experience, since truly skilled players are indeed rare.

"It should be a sure thing."

After a while, the damage output and damage mitigation stabilized, and the Blood Hand Butcher's health began to drop at a visible rate.

After losing about 30%, Blood Hand Butcher began to use the chains on his left hand to attack.

This chain has a higher attack power than a kitchen knife, and it can take away almost a quarter of 'Shally's' health in one hit.

Once the Blood Hand Butcher drops below half, a layer of crimson color appears on his body, and his attack, speed, and defense all increase significantly.

' Great Doklodus, His steps never cease, bathed in war, your blood and souls will be sacrificed!'

The Blood Hand Butcher roared, wielding a cleaver in his right hand and a chain in his left, hacking wildly. An exile, caught off guard, was instantly sliced into mincemeat with both blows.

"Holy crap, that's insane!"

Bang!

'Shally' stunned Blood Hand Butcher with a stomp.

The exiles quickly spread out, leaving the battlefield to 'Shally'.

Although the Butcher's attacks became stronger, he could barely hold on thanks to Bloodlust, Roasted Chicken, and the healing effect of Blood Sacrifice Stage 2. However, when the Butcher's health dropped to one-fifth, he completely entered a berserk state.

This is also a routine operation of the Blood Divine Path. Members of the Blood Cult often go berserk, and after going berserk, all their attributes increase, and they enter a crazy killing mode.

With one strike, 'Shally' lost a third of her health.

In addition, the Butcher's skill is a knife-lock combo, which can unleash six attacks per second. If all six hit, it's basically game over; even 'Shally' can't stop it.

Therefore, when the Butcher releases his skill, 'Shally' has to activate her five-stage Blood Clone Sacrifice to let the clone take the damage.

"Explode!"

With her health fully restored, 'Shally' unleashed a Blood Unrivaled attack, cutting off the last bit of Blood Hand Butcher's health, and the behemoth finally fell down unwillingly.

Bang~~~

Numerous orbs of light burst forth from the Blood Hand Butcher's body.

"Phew~ Luckily I have the Sword of Sword of Ares, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get through... Hmm, I'm rich."

More than a dozen orbs of light exploded on the ground.

Besides a large amount of Soul Jade and two Roasted Chicken, there were also quite a few other items, including scrolls and relics.

However, most of them were useless; only two things Ryan actually liked.

[Magic Scrolls - Blood Rage]

[Quality: Tier 3]

[Effect: Increases damage by 10% and lifesteal effect by 10% for 2 hours after use.]

While Magic Scrolls with sustained effects may not be as flashy as burst attacks, they are definitely a top choice for prolonged battles.

Blood-Pattern Bracelet

[Quality: Tier 3, Excellent]

[Effect 1: Constitution +8]

[Effect 2: Increases the wearer's health by 8%.]

[Equipment Requirements: Constitution 36, Spirit 32]

A Tier 3 Excellent piece of equipment with a single attribute bonus provides a decent attribute increase, but giving 8% of the HP to 'Shally' is simply perfect.

"I made a profit."

Ryan put the bracelet on 'Shally' with satisfaction.

In games, high damage output is the goal, but in reality, a tank is essential; survival is the priority.

"Um?"

Ryan saw that after the Shadow of Butcher Barton of the Blood Hand died, his body disintegrated into a cloud of blood mist that flowed into the altar. Then the entire altar kept shining, as if it was in some kind of activated state.

There are still secrets?

'Vainay' leaned closer and tried to use her Word Spirit Art, but it was no use at all.

Clearly, this is not the time for the Singer to make a difference.

"You go."

"Vainay" turned to "Shally" and said.

'Shally' walked to the edge of the altar and reached out to touch the glowing crystal. The next moment, the light on the crystal suddenly burst forth, and the array around the altar was shrouded in a bloody color.

With Vainay's was blasted away by the force and retreated outside the altar, while 'Shally's' figure turned into a streak of Bloodlight and disappeared.

'Great Blood God's Kin, Butcher Barton of the Blood Hand, your brilliance illuminates the Chaos Space. At this moment, the name of war will be interpreted by you. Please descend upon this land and stain the world with noble crimson...'

'The Great Blood God's Kin, Butcher Barton of the Blood Hand...'

In a dimly lit underground space, the Singer's chanting was deep and magical, like notes traversing between reality and chaos.

On the altar in the underground space, a blood-red array spewed out a large amount of mist, which exploded with terrifying power. The leading Singer raised his hand, signaling everyone to stop, and then looked at the altar with excitement.

Splash!

The blood mist dissipated.

A majestic figure appeared on the altar.

Upon seeing her, the Singer paused, seemingly unsure what had gone wrong.

After a long while, the lead Singer crawled on the ground to the edge of the altar, raised his head and cautiously asked the figure, "Excuse me... are you the great Blood Hand Butcher?"

'Shally' was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, 'I am.'

First update! I didn't write a third update last night, so I'll write a bit more this morning and post it. I'll have lunch and then continue writing the second update. I'm aiming for 20,000 words a day! Please vote! Please support me!!!
