Chapter 73

The three sacrificial offerings raised their hearts and shouted.

A heart, dripping with blood, falls to the earth!

This scene completely stunned everyone.

"Oh no, they're going to sacrifice someone!" Caslathdi knew more about the sacrificers than anyone else.

The sacrificers are called sacrificers because everything about them is related to sacrifice. They sacrifice themselves and yearn for the power of the Blood God!

These three sacrificers were survivors of countless others, having endured a bloody hell; their sacrifices were far more effective than those of ordinary people.

With the sacrifice of three people, all the power is now focused on the birdman!

"Holy shit! These guys are insane!"

Jonathan cursed inwardly. Sacrificing himself, killing himself—this was the first time he'd ever seen anything like it in all these years. It was absolutely insane!

The heart, blood, and crimson array became exceptionally eerie at this moment, creating a shocking visual impact. Within the array, the birdman was covered by a large swath of crimson mist, and his aura continued to amplify.

The crimson shadows behind the birdman transformed into an invisible, roaring Great Demon —the power descended by the Blood God, seemingly about to break through the seal of the Inner World and descend upon this place!

Caslathdi could sense that once the sacrifice was successful, the opponent's strength would definitely exceed that of Fourth Tier opponent!

In her current state, it's impossible for her to win.

Suddenly.

A figure rushed into the blood mist.

It was 'Shally' who had turned back from the front lines of the battlefield.

"By the Sun God, what does she want to do???" Jonathan was a little confused.

Girl, are you sick? They're offering a sacrifice, and you go over there? Aren't you just offering yourself up as a sacrifice?

The ritual has already begun, Blood God's Power has descended. Rushing forward now will immediately result in extremely intense Mental Pollution, which is no different from courting death.

However.

Shockingly, with a wave of Shally hand, the crimson power bathing the birdman suddenly seemed to be drawn towards Shally.

Caslathdi and Jonathan: "???"

Birdman: "???"

This bizarre scene surprised everyone present... except Ryan.

Because he knows that 'Shally' is the chosen one of the Blood God. If you offer sacrifices here and beg the Blood God to descend, aren't you just working for her?

Did you see what the Blood Intent stacking buff is called? What the hell is it called 'Blood God's Blessing'?!

Although Ryan wasn't sure if 'Shally' could really do that, he knew the answer when he saw 'Shally' rush over: never doubt the judgment of AI.

[You have been God-given, all your attributes have been increased by 100%]

[You have been God-given, your damage increased by 100%]

You received...

As the blood mist continued, a series of notifications kept popping up in 'Shally's' personal interface, all of which were buffs that made Ryan's heart stop beating.

"Isn't this numerical bonus a bit outrageous?"

He discovered that the Blood Knight's various skill bonuses were quite high.

Ryan even had the urge to raise a few of his own sacrificers.

Just then, the birdman suddenly broke free from the sacrificial array, let out an angry roar, and raised his bow and arrow to shoot an arrow at 'Shally'.

He was going to shoot this guy who stole the power of the Blood God!

But before the arrow could hit 'Shally', it was cut in half by the phantom of the Great Demon.

The next moment, 'Shally', empowered by the sacrifice, raised her hand, and blood-red streamers shot out like tentacles, piercing a large bloody hole in the birdman's body.

Following 'Shally's' will, the blood transformed into a hand within the birdman's body, grasping his heart and then forcefully... poof—the heart exploded, and the birdman's expression froze instantly.

Thump.

Seeing the birdman suddenly collapse, Jonathan rubbed his eyes, not understanding what had happened.

Third Tier Transcendent was instantly killed just like that??

After the birdman died, the effects of the sacrifice ended, the blood mist disappeared from 'Shally', and everything returned to calm, leaving only four corpses lying in a pool of blood, telling everyone that everything that had just happened was real.

"Call!"

Caslathdi retracted her arms and placed her palms on her chest. Her breasts heaved with excitement, creating a series of waves.

"Incredible."

All the words I wanted to say came out, but in the end, only these four words remained.

Just then, the train's whistle drowned out all other sounds, and Ryan breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the train approaching from afar.

"Your Highness, our reinforcements have arrived."

"Reinforcements?"

Caslathdi watched as the train slowly came to a stop, the doors opened, and a group of fully armed steel warriors suddenly appeared in her field of vision.

"The Iron Blood Legion?" she exclaimed in astonishment.

Yes, the Iron Blood Legion finally arrived, albeit late. With a command from their leader, the army charged towards the troops outside the train station.

Unsurprisingly, despite the fact that the opposing force was also a well-trained elite, they still had no chance of resistance against this Iron Blood Legion.

Or perhaps they had lost the will to resist. With five sacrificers killed, the number of Supernatural Being was at an absolute disadvantage. Coupled with the Blood Knight's abnormal characteristics, this attack was destined to end in failure.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat!!!"

The attacking army retreated as quickly as the tide.

Instead of ordering a pursuit, Ryan had everyone board the train and head towards Berman City.

Half an hour later.

Inside a train carriage.

"... That's roughly how it happened. Magana contacted me and expressed her desire to join forces with you, Princess. I initially refused, but since you are in a Princess situation, I had no choice. However, I think joining forces wouldn't be a bad thing. This time, the attackers came with great force and their identities are unknown. Your Highness is currently weak, and you do need external help to control the three cities in the Southern Territory."

Ryan recounted his collaboration with the Iron Blood Legion.

So that's how it is... Caslathdi sighed softly, "You're right, but cooperating with Magana is like asking a tiger for its skin."

Would Magana be so kind as to help her?

Even a child knows that the other person definitely wants to be involved in the Southern Territory.

What Ryan said earlier was correct; given her current situation, it's simply impossible for her to control the three cities in the Southern Territory.

The Royal Guards suffered heavy losses and hadn't even figured out the identities of their opponents, let alone the 'traitors' hiding in the shadows. Who knows how many of them have been bribed?

Speaking of the mole... Caslathdi's eyes lit up. "Ryan, did Magana contact you personally?"

"No, it's a mysterious guy. I don't know who he is."

"I'm afraid it's Creed," Caslathdi pondered. "Ryan, I've thought of a way that might solve all the problems, but it will require you to pay a price, and it could be dangerous."

Ryan was taken aback. "Tell me about it."

He also planned to give Caslathdi a thorough analysis and persuade her to cooperate with Magana.

"Ryan, with all that has happened, Magana can no longer openly interfere in the Southern Territory. That's why she wants to cooperate with me. I suspect she will continue to infiltrate this area step by step, secretly bribing those nobles. With your abilities and status, you will inevitably be targeted by Magana!"

Caslathdi stared intently at Ryan. "I'm thinking... having you go to Magana's side as my inside man. What do you think?"

Ryan: "..."
