Camilla

Linley observed closely and found that most of the Blood Slaves had blank expressions, their eyes hollow like the living dead. Only a few had ferocious, crazed expressions, as if they were still struggling and resisting.

"Swish!"

A saber strike, lightning like a dragon.

"Huala!"

The two Blood Slaves who rushed forward fell on the spot. Two Blood Leeches, their plump bodies wriggling, dropped to the ground, covered in smooth, bloody mucus. They looked extremely disgusting.

Linley reached out and grabbed one from a distance, examining it carefully. He chuckled, "This thing is quite interesting."

He had also cultivated the Life Law and the Death Law. Although his current level wasn't high, he could still discern a few things.

These Blood Leeches were things that only experts proficient in the laws of Life and Death could refine. Alchemy techniques were also used, making them worth studying.

The mission only required one Blood Leech to be submitted, so Linley planned to collect as many as possible.

"So weak? It seems these Blood Slaves aren't strong."

Linley's performance was quite outstanding. The scene of him dispatching two Blood Slaves with a single saber strike was witnessed by several nearby examinees. They immediately made a misjudgment, and as a result, they suffered greatly in their subsequent battles with the Blood Slaves. Those who were lucky were injured, while those who were unlucky perished on the spot.

Some people finally realized that the Blood Slaves weren't that easy to deal with; it was Linley's superior strength.

A Middle God from the Night Elf Race gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone be careful. These Blood Slaves feel no pain and fear no death. Their fighting style is to trade their lives for injuries. If you don't eliminate them immediately, they'll latch onto you, leaving you dead or severely wounded."

His gaze flickered with surprise as he looked at Linley. He had just witnessed Linley's attack and was astonished by his power, which was completely overwhelming. It was nothing like that of a Middle God. He thought enviously, "This person is truly formidable. He must have fused two Profound Mysteries!"

Once one fused two Profound Mysteries of the Lightning Element Law and became a High-God, they would be at least a Five-star Demon.

This was already the strength and status countless Gods dreamed of, and he had already secured it in the Middle God realm.

Linley, intrigued by these Blood Leeches, stopped holding back and attacked frequently. Wherever his red saber passed, scorching, domineering lightning, like rampaging dragons, annihilated large numbers of Blood Slaves. It was like mowing grass, and no one could withstand even a single blow.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The castle trembled. Linley sensed roughly that the source seemed to be from the basement. The two Five-star Demons from before had also disappeared. They had killed their way out shortly after the Blood Slaves appeared, showing no intention of lingering. Their only target was the master of the Bloodthirsty Castle.

Linley thought to himself, "It has nothing to do with me."

He collected the spoils from the ground, called out to Thomas and Corey, and prepared to retreat. Whether the master and butler of the Bloodthirsty Castle lived or died was entirely irrelevant to him.

Linley didn't want to be too ruthless. With good intentions, he left some Blood Slaves for the other examinees who had survived this far.

Turning back, he exited through the window he had entered.

As Linley and the other two just stepped outside, they heard a massive explosion. A large hole was blasted open in the castle wall, and five figures flew out one after another. They were Claude, Joseph, Chaos, and two identical, seductive women dressed in tight red and black outfits.

"The master of the Bloodthirsty Castle..."

Seeing this, Linley could guess the women's identities with a little thought. He wasn't surprised to see that she had two Divine Avatars with the strength of Five-star Demons, as he had vaguely guessed this from the information before coming.

"This Magnetic Field Power... her Life God Avatar must be close to Six-star Demon level!"

Linley's expression turned somewhat serious. He only needed to sense it roughly and compare it to his own magnetic field strength to determine someone's power.

"What about the butler who's good at Magic Arrays? He's probably dead. Oh well, why worry about so much?"

Linley didn't overthink it and, without any hesitation, transformed into a blue arc of lightning and streamed towards the outside of the blood-red lake. Thomas and Corey followed closely behind him.

"You useless bunch, come back! Camilla has activated a Magic Array. Unless she dies, don't even think about leaving unless you're a Six-star Demon."

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind. The blood lake rippled with intense light, and a red barrier suddenly appeared in front of Linley, blocking his path like the Wall of Sighs.

"What a nuisance,"

Linley muttered, hesitating whether to forcibly break through the Magic Array. He met the criteria for overwhelming strength, but after a slight pause, he gave up.

Linley and the other two exchanged glances, none of them intending to join the battle between the Five-star Demons.

Why bother? They had signed up for the One-star Demon assessment but ended up doing a Five-star Demon mission. It was too much of a loss.

They watched from a few hundred meters away!

Although Claude's side had the advantage in numbers, the two avatars of Camilla, the master of the Bloodthirsty Castle, cooperated seamlessly, and their individual strength was greater. They fought fiercely, neither giving ground.

Claude shouted towards Linley's group again.

"The Magic Array has two cores. We destroyed one in the basement. The other is at the bottom of the blood lake. Find a way to locate and destroy it, otherwise, the Blood Mist will only increase, and her strength will grow."

Linley chuckled inwardly.

This blood lake contained a vast amount of soul-eroding energy. Even High-Gods couldn't rashly probe it with their Spiritual Sense. They expected them, Middle Gods, to do it. It seemed the pressure was indeed immense.

However, there was one point Linley couldn't deny.

As the Blood Mist increased, Camilla's strength was also gradually growing.

Although it was very slight, over time it was not to be underestimated, and she was slowly approaching Six-star Demon level.

Linley thought to himself, "This must be some kind of secret technique of the Life Law. But it requires the cooperation of the Magic Array. Against a stronger enemy, there wouldn't be much time to prepare."

In the few seconds of conversation, the examinees inside the castle had also retreated. They learned of the current situation from Claude, their faces looking grim and suppressed. However, none of them dared to risk probing the location of the Magic Array's core with their Spiritual Sense.

The battle was intense.

Suddenly, a burly man appeared in front of Camilla's Death God Avatar. He was three meters tall, his muscles as strong as forged steel. He had a blank expression, lacking the vibrant vitality of a living being.

"Death God Puppet!"

Claude and the others' expressions shifted slightly. As Five-star Demons, they were knowledgeable and not entirely unfamiliar with such a thing.

In less time than it takes to blink.

Camilla, relying on this Death God Puppet made of superior material, briefly hindered Chaos's axe attacks.

Her Death God Avatar seized this opportunity and fiercely launched a black arrow, entwined with chilling blood-red mist.

Chaos, caught off guard, took a direct hit. The arrow pierced his shoulder, its power unhindered by his energy defense or his High-God defensive artifact. Instantly, a bone-chilling cold spread through him, his movements stiffened, and a sinister energy seeped into his brain. Soon, his eyes dimmed, and his life force vanished.

"Hahahaha!!"

Seeing this, Camilla let out a triumphant laugh. Having eliminated a Five-star Demon, her pressure significantly decreased.
