Chapter 66
She was right; Ryan was indeed a loyal and courageous talent of the Empire!
"Go! Kill her now! Damn it, she's all alone, how long can she hold out???"
Caslathdi was nervous, and the Kosotoya were even more nervous.
After all, what these soldiers are doing is tantamount to treason. If it weren't for the lord's promise, they wouldn't have dared to do it. Now that reinforcements from Berman City have arrived, they must act quickly.
The commanding officer was furious and wished he could charge forward with his gun. He couldn't understand how so many muskets could be used against a woman and they couldn't get through.
If the terrain weren't so troublesome, we would have brought the cannons over long ago and blasted this hill flat!
"No, Lord Luke, the terrain is too narrow. That guy is blocking the way, and our men can't get through!"
"Don't give me that nonsense! Do you want me to order a retreat right now? Their reinforcements have arrived, and Lord Avik has already held off the most troublesome Royal Guards for us. If we can't kill the Fifth Princess, we're all doomed!"
There's no turning back!
The Kosotoya had no way to retreat, so they had no choice but to rush forward and try every means to kill Caslathdi.
However, this is where the advantage of summoning skills becomes apparent. Blood Minions constantly die and rise again, acting as a bulwark against the Kosotoya's advance. Meanwhile, 'Shally' charges into the crowd, relentlessly fighting. These soldiers' melee combat skills are even inferior to those of the Heretic who have been given Magic Potion, and the dense forest and terrain prevent 'Shally' from being instantly killed by concentrated fire.
In this situation, Roasted Chicken and bloodlust are more than enough to withstand it.
The biggest concern is still one issue – Magic Power.
But Ryan had no intention of retreating, because as the fighting continued, 'Shally's' level had already broken through 19 and was moving toward 20.
With each kill, the Experience Bar slowly advances by a little bit, and not only that, even the Sword of Ares is slowly changing.
Generally, upgradeable equipment is upgraded through sacrifice, Sword of Ares works on the same principle. However, the Blood God does not require so many complicated rituals. As long as you offer your blood and war to Him, He will bestow upon you the highest honor of a warrior!
Whoosh!
As 'Shally's' health bar dropped to half, the second crystal on the Sword of Ares lit up. 'Shally' swung the sword forward with a fierce slash, and the blood-red blade left a mark in front of her, killing all the soldiers in its path.
At the same time, 'Shally's' health was almost fully restored.
The second stage of the bloodline has returned!
This is the only skill in Blood Sacrifice that can restore health. It restores a certain amount of health based on the number of kills. Combined with the Bloodlust effect, as long as it's not an attack that can instantly kill 'Shally', she can use her skills to bring her health back up.
The downside is that the cooldown time for Blood Return is relatively long, making it impossible to use continuously.
But after this attack, 'Shally's' level has already exceeded 20.
Your level has increased to lv20.
[Advancement Quest triggered, sacrifice: 0/888]
"Good grief, killing people allows you to advance in rank, huh?"
Ryan paused for a moment in front of the game interface, glanced at the two remaining small Magic Power recovery potions in his backpack, gritted his teeth, and decided to go for it!
The Character Card for 'Shally' has been created. The Blood Knight class will not be lost. Although the loss is still huge if the character dies, this class can only be leveled up in this kind of environment.
Moreover, Gruk's special forces team is already on its way to provide support, so there may still be hope if they persevere.
"Second-tier costs 880, so third-tier would be 8,800? Fourth Tier and fifth-tier? 88,000?"
Kill 88,000, and the Blood God will laugh heartily!
Kill them all!
Glancing at the status bar, the monthly refresh of her professional attributes had reached 15%, and the increase in all attributes had caused 'Shally's' attributes to skyrocket.
Whoosh!
The figure of 'Shally' suddenly blurred and turned into two 'Shally'.
Sacrifice five Blood Clones!
The appearance of the two 'Shally' left the Kosotoya completely bewildered, and for a moment they had no idea who to attack.
"What are you standing there for? Attack them both! Kill them both!"
The officer in charge of the battle had gone completely mad. He knew better than the soldiers how Supernatural Being could be, but the arrow was already on the bowstring... no, the arrow had already been released!
The Blood Clone possesses 50% of the original's attributes, lacks the Blood Minions's abilities, but has the Bloodlust skill.
Taking advantage of the clones confusing her opponents, 'Shally' replenished the Blood Minions that had died, and then continued to throw herself into the killing.
As time passed, blood had completely stained the earth, and the area between the forest and the Blood Minions' defensive line was littered with corpses, piled up like mountains, too numerous to count.
These dead souls are destined to never find peace, unless a Singer as skilled at ferrying them across as 'Vainay' comes along.
"This is incredible..."
Caslathdi was beyond words in describing the shock she felt.
She had always felt that although there were differences in the extraordinary professions produced by the various Faith Path, they were not too great, and the main difference was in individual talent. But now she even had a slight doubt about the existence of Supernatural Being. Could extraordinary professions really reach such a level?
The Holy Word Master is also a hidden class. She was confident in her talent and strength, but seeing 'Shally's' performance made her feel like she had to 'delete her account and start over'.
Bang!--
On the other side.
Ryan's office door was pushed open, and Jack rushed in immediately afterward.
"Boss Ryan!"
Jack, whom we haven't seen in a long time, has been completely won over by Ryan and is now willing to become his underling.
"Where is it?!" Ryan asked anxiously.
Jack threw off his backpack, unzipped it, and poured out a bunch of small bottles.
"These are all the Magic Power recovery potions the Burning Covenant has to offer right now, twelve bottles in total, all of them are here."
Ryan's eyes lit up.
"Here you go!"
"Hehe~ Boss, what do you need so many recovery potions for?"
"Don't worry about that. Here's another task for you: go to the trading market, or find another trustworthy Supernatural Being, and buy as many Magic Power recovery potions as you can. Get them to me in half an hour... an hour at most, and hurry up!"
"Huh?" Jack was confused. "But I don't have any Soul Jade left."
Whoosh~
Ryan threw out several thousand Soul Jade, shooing the bewildered Jack out of the office before hurriedly tossing Magic Power recovery potion into his backpack.
For 'Shally', Magic Power is health!
As long as the Magic Power remains, she will not die!
"Your Highness, am I seeing things? Why does she seem to be getting stronger as she fights?" Eiko rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't mistaken. "Won't she get tired?"
Caslathdi opened her mouth, as if to say something, but then forgot what she wanted to say.
How many runners-up did Kosotoya have?
The number of people pursuing them up the mountain is definitely no less than five thousand. Apart from those who are blocking reinforcements, there are no fewer than three thousand people currently used to surround and kill Caslathdi!
Three thousand men were stopped at this small cliff. Although their path was blocked due to the narrow entrance, there was only one person on the other side. Commander Luke of Kosotoya couldn't understand it at all, but he was now beginning to feel fear.
Squad after squad fell.
The forest restricted the Musketeers' performance. The Kosotoya, who were at the forefront, couldn't even last a single round in a head-on fight with 'Shally,' and the way she slaughtered them could only be described as 'cruel.'
The greatsword's slashes tore people apart like jagged teeth, scattering blood and entrails together in a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses! One hundred, two hundred, three hundred... until the charging Kosotoya soldiers finally stopped. The entire battlefield was filled with blood mist and an indescribable power, a power called 'war' was descending upon this place!
[Sacrifice: 888/888, quest complete.]
Congratulations on successfully advancing to the next level.
You have learned a new class skill, 'Blood God's Blessing'.
[Blood God's Blessing: Each attack stacks Blood Intent, each Blood Intent increasing health and damage by 3%, up to a maximum of 10 stacks. Blood Intent lasts for ten seconds; attacking again refreshes its duration.]
A hazy blood mist swirled around 'Shally', and the cumulative effect of the Blood Intent appeared in the next second, and soon only a mountain of corpses remained around her!
She stood on the corpse, her hand on the greatsword, her blood-stained head tilted slightly to the side.
"Anyone else want to come?"
I didn't have time to write Chapter 3, so I just wrote one long chapter today, which is 13,000 words. I'm going to sleep now. I'll continue with more updates tomorrow. Please support me!
