Appearance

Shally is a black-haired, dark-eyed swordswoman whose combat presence is defined by dark-red or blood-red armor and the blood-colored Sword of Ares. Her fighting style is broad, aggressive, and forceful. 65 132

• Black hair and dark eyes. 65
• Usually carries a blood-colored greatsword. 53 120
• Her demon form adds two horns, blood-red wings, and a rotating ring of blood at her feet. 245
• At Sixth Tier, her character form is depicted in a fitted black outfit with large blood-red wings and crimson magic surrounding her. 287

Personality

Shally is decisive, direct, and exceptionally ruthless toward enemies. She clears gangs, purges officials, and treats battlefield opponents as sacrifices or experience without hesitation. Her autonomous AI behavior repeatedly surprises Ryan, including her unilateral pursuit of retreating armies and declaration of herself as “Emperor.” 60 85 125

Her devotion to Ryan is intense and possessive. She follows his missions with absolute commitment, but this attachment becomes dangerous when she stabs him while declaring that he can belong only to her. 67 133

Abilities & Skills

Blood Knight Class

Shally’s Blood Knight class specializes in high durability, self-recovery, attribute stacking, blood manipulation, and large-scale battlefield combat. 53 86 120

• Her base class skills are Blood Control, Bloodlust, and Blood Minions. 53
• She can withstand attacks from multiple Rank 4 opponents through high health, defense, life-steal, and area damage. 120
• The class is less effective at pursuit and crowd control; Trample has a limited area, while agile assassins and archers can exploit her lack of mobility. 120
• Killing ordinary people as well as cultists grants her experience, making warfare especially efficient for her growth. 57

Blood Control and Blood Minions

Blood Control allows Shally to manipulate blood offensively, while Blood Minions provide expendable summoned forces and battlefield pressure. 53 214

• Blood Control can crush enemies with manifested blood constructs. 214
• Blood Minions can stall stronger foes while Shally builds Blood Intent. 106
• Sustaining Blood Control, Bloodlust, and Blood Minions consumes substantial Magic Power. 53
• Prolonged Blood Control builds a Sanity debuff; severe loss of Sanity can force her into an uncontrollable berserk state. 53

Blood Intent and Blood God’s Blessing

Shally builds Blood Intent during combat, strengthening her Blood Knight abilities and triggering divine buffs. 73 106

• At ten Blood Intent stacks, Blood God’s Blessing provides a 30% increase to health and damage. 106
• During a major sacrifice, she receives temporary buffs that double attributes and damage. 73
• Her Chosen status allows her to endure or ignore effects that would heavily impair other characters. 116

Sacrifice and Blood Sacrifice

Sacrifice converts kills into personal growth and is central to Shally’s advancement. 54 66

• Sacrifice increases attributes after completed sacrifices, but its bonuses must be refreshed monthly or her attributes decline. 54
• A completed 888-person sacrifice grants a 35% all-attribute increase. 86 120
• The Sword of Ares’ Blood Sacrifice stages can restore health and amplify attacks. 66 167
• Blood Mark Sacrifice empowers up to eight Blood Marks; each mark increases damage by 8%, but greater use causes heavier mental erosion. 199

Sword of Ares Techniques

The Sword of Ares is Shally’s primary relic weapon and the catalyst for her Blood Knight class transfer. 52 71

• Second Stage Blood Return restores a major portion of her health after a blood sacrifice. 66
• Nine-Stage Blood Dragon Slash unleashes a blood dragon capable of breaking formations and carving ravines through the battlefield. 71
• Blood Dragon Slash drains 90% of her blood, making it extremely dangerous without protection from the Ring of Death. 71
• Blood Sacrifice Nine Stages is powerful enough to devastate elite formations, including the Crimson Tiger Guard. 121

Battlefield Control

Shally combines direct combat with area control and tactical positioning. 86 120

• Trample shatters the ground, damages nearby enemies, and stuns surrounding targets. 86
• Blood Clone creates a duplicate for deception and misdirection. 66 120
• War Domain strengthens her side as casualties accumulate during battle. 85 120
• Drift pulls a target into Death Space for three seconds, rendering them immune to physical and magical damage while reducing speed by 90%. 121

Fourth Tier Skills

Her Fourth Tier advancement improves both personal survival and the combat power of allied soldiers. 147

• Bloodthirsty Assault extracts energy from blood to heal injuries and increases damage by 10%. 147
• Bloodthirsty Assault can also affect allied units under Blood Knight influence. 147
• Blood Armor provides an additional 25% health increase. 167

Holy Blood Army Empowerment

Shally can enhance the Holy Blood Army as a collective fighting force rather than merely commanding it. 125 205 299

• She prepares blood sacrifices intended to strengthen the entire Holy Blood Legion, including future recruits. 125
• She integrates the will of war into the army and gains the Blood God’s approval during the destruction of the Moonlight Knight Order. 205
• Her army grants her a 10% all-attribute bonus, with additional scaling based on the Army’s size, fighting spirit, and strength. 299
• Holy Blood soldiers can share her life-stealing effects, allowing them to recover through combat. 299

Demonic Ascension and Faith

After her Ascension, Shally gains a demon form and a direct connection to faith directed at the Blood Hand Butcher. 245

• Her Holy Seal activation allows her to overcome Barton’s shadow and manifest her demon form. 245
• Power of Faith gathers sacrifices and faith offered to the Blood Hand Butcher onto Shally. 245
• The power’s listed full-unsealing condition is to kill the true Blood Hand Butcher. 245

Equipment

• Sword of Ares — Blood-red greatsword drawn from the Casola Prison altar; enables Blood Sacrifice stages and Blood Dragon Slash. 52 71
• Ring of Death — Grants an invincibility effect when Shally is near death. 71
• Blade of Erosion — Weapon equipped by Ryan during Shally’s early Casola Prison exploration. 34
• Kasa’s Bracelet — Bracelet used to improve her survivability. 86 106
• Thistle Armor — Armor recorded in her Third Tier equipment set. 86
• Flag of Assured Victory — War-path relic forcibly refined by Shally through sacrifice; its mist can merge with her blood mist. 214

Relationships

• Ryan — Creator, controller, commander, and romantic partner. Shally obeys his missions with unusual loyalty, though her possessiveness culminates in her stabbing him. 67 102 133
• Caslathdi — Princess whom Shally rescues from Kosotoya’s forces. Caslathdi values Shally as a Chosen of the Gods and seeks to keep her close. 67 71
• Vainay — Ally and battlefield partner. Vainay supports Shally against the Crimson Tiger Guard and helps protect her from lethal attacks. 106 121
• Magana — Rival and uneasy ally. Magana senses Shally’s threat to Ryan, later recognizes her extraordinary growth, and resents her victories. 133 245
• Doklodus / Blood God — The deity whose power Shally invokes, whose Chosen she becomes, and whose battlefield-oriented blessings fuel her growth. 52 73 245
• Barton / Blood Hand Butcher — Blood God-aligned opponent whose shadow Shally defeats to complete her Ascension quest; his identity remains tied to Shally’s faith-gathering power. 245 286
