Blood Soul Snake

"It's over. We're all going to die here this time!"

The fall of Chaos, a Five-star Demon, had greatly shaken the remaining examiners. Their faces were filled with bitterness.

They could all see that if things continued at this rate, it was only a matter of time before the other two Five-star Demons failed as well.

Although it was two against two, the master of Bloodthirsty Castle had two Divine Avatars belonging to the same person. Their Divine Domains could stack together, giving them a huge advantage!

"Are you just waiting to die?"

Claude roared, "Hurry over and help! Even a little damage to Camilla will buy us a chance!"

He was mainly speaking to the two Three-star Demons and one Four-star Demon.

That was right. Among the people who had come out of the castle earlier, there were still three demons. Their targets were Camilla's personal blood slave and steward.

Without much hesitation, these people charged forward. Even some Mid-level God examiners joined in, including Claude's daughter.

"What about Mariana and her son Aaron? Could they have died inside the castle?"

Linley noticed that two faces were missing. He glanced back at the castle, but soon stopped caring about them. After thinking briefly, he also joined the group surrounding Camilla, displaying strength close to that of a Four-star Demon and leisurely going through the motions.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, his strength as a Mid-level God was already astonishing.

No one suspected that he was still hiding his true strength.

Joseph was greatly startled. Jealous, he thought, This brat is actually this strong? Could he be in the process of fusing a third Mystery?

Claude and Chaos were both surprised and delighted. At a time like this, one more expert meant one more chance of victory. Even delaying Camilla's movements slightly could create an opportunity for them.

Camilla's eyes were filled with greed. She thought, I didn't expect to be this lucky. I've encountered a genius Mid-level God who is fusing Mysteries. As long as I control him, I might have another Six-star Demon subordinate in the future.

"Whoosh!"

The Blood Lake surged with enormous waves.

A tall figure with a human torso and a serpent's tail rapidly leaped into the sky. Dark green hair streamed behind her, while black snake scales covered her forehead and cheeks. Her golden, slit-pupiled eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty ferocity, and her aura was no weaker than that of a Five-star Demon.

"Blood Soul Snake!"

Joseph's expression became extremely ugly.

This was a special and rare Divine Beast. It could devour blood and constantly grow stronger. Its body was powerful, its strength immense, and its soul was immune to the Blood Lake's corrosive energy.

"Buzz... buzz..."

The Magic Array barrier flickered faintly, appearing somewhat unstable. In the blink of an eye, it vanished.

Some of the more perceptive people guessed inwardly, Is the core of the Magic Array connected to this Blood Soul Snake?

The instant the Blood Soul Snake charged over, one of the Four-star Demons participating in the siege suddenly changed direction and retreated. He accelerated sharply, crossed the area formerly covered by the Magic Array barrier, and escaped outside.

Rather than fight Camilla to the bitter end, it was better to use the two Five-star Demons to hold her back and escape.

The mission had already been completed, so there was no need to complicate matters.

This scene greatly encouraged the examiners, who fled in disarray one after another.

Linley, Thomas, and Corey were no exception.

Only Linley was stopped when the serpent's tail swept across his path. Fortunately, his body flashed like lightning, allowing him to evade it.

Camilla said something shocking: "Joseph, Claude, I only need this brat. You can leave."

Joseph and Claude's eyes flickered, and they were somewhat tempted.

Sacrificing one Mid-level God in exchange for a chance to leave sounded like an excellent suggestion.

Camilla's strength was greater than they had estimated, and she had even more trump cards.

They naturally had trump cards as well, but if they fought to the death, there was still a risk of falling.

Hatred and the mission were important, but preserving themselves was more realistic.

Claude said decisively, "My wife and son were poisoned. You must give me the antidote."

Camilla's Life God Avatar tossed out a bottle of blue potion and said, "Just drink it."

Claude handed the potion to his daughter Lisa, who immediately headed into the castle.

Joseph gritted his teeth. "Fine, I agree."

He merely felt regret and envy that Camilla was gaining a blood slave with immense potential.

The entire exchange happened within the span of two or three breaths. Camilla and the others had not even concealed their conversation.

They did not care about Linley's opinion at all. No matter how great his potential was, potential was not strength.

A mere Mid-level God who had yet to mature—the outcome had long been decided.

Linley sneered inwardly. Heh, you all think you've got me at your mercy, do you? I'll kill every last one of you!

His body flashed with thunder and lightning!

Linley suddenly accelerated and appeared before Camilla's Life God Avatar. Taking advantage of the instant she was caught off guard, he condensed blazing, domineering magnetic-field fusion divine power into his red blade and struck her head with speed, precision, and ferocity!

One strike, and she was dead! Clean and decisive!

Relying on the amplification of a technique that fused high-level Mysteries, Linley erupted with the attack power of a Six-star Demon!

Instantly killing a Five-star Demon who had not regarded him as a threat at all and was covered in openings through a sneak attack was perfectly normal!

"This is impossible!!"

Camilla's surviving Death God Avatar shrieked in terror, her rage containing a wild, uncontrolled madness.

In an instant, she had lost her most promising Life God Avatar. The blow was simply too great!

Linley sneered. "Foolish and arrogant!"

He had not wanted to complicate matters, but this woman had brought death upon herself. There was nothing he could do about that.

"Swish!"

Even while speaking, Linley did not delay the second slash in the slightest. It was just as fast and fierce as before!

His target was still Camilla's Death God Avatar. After all, she was the nearest one!

"Whoosh!"

The serpent's tail swept over with tremendous force.

Linley endured the blow head-on, his expression resolute. Explosive sparks of electricity rose across his body. His magnetic-field talent, divine power, and the defensive power of his clothing, formed through the fusion of three Mysteries, were formidable. Electromagnetic recoil sent the Blood Soul Snake flying, and it crashed into the lake below, splashing enormous waves.

"Ah! You've already offended this brat, so why aren't you attacking?!"

Camilla barely avoided having her head struck, but half her body was still cleaved open by the blade. Gravely wounded, she shouted in panic.

Claude and Joseph's expressions were frustrated and helpless.

Although they did not want to admit it, Camilla's words were completely true.

Since they had misjudged the situation and offended this Mid-level God, they could only follow this path to the end.

"Is that all you've got?"

Linley's voice was cold. The instant he attacked, he had already decided in his heart to leave none of them alive!

"Crackle... crackle..."

The thunder-and-lightning dragon snake swayed, radiating countless tiny tendrils. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into a semicircular electromagnetic domain, like a cage that greatly restricted their movements.

"Splash!"

Blood-colored waves flew through the air. The black shadow writhed frantically, but was firmly suppressed by the electromagnetic domain. It was still helpless.

"Crackle, crackle..."

Countless electric arcs slipped through the air, blasting open wounds that tore flesh and exposed bone. Great quantities of blood poured out, while the surfaces charred and gave off the smell of something scorched.

Linley swung his blade repeatedly, countless afterimages converging into a dazzling, radiant crescent of thunder.

"Wait, I have a mas—"

Camilla opened her mouth in terror, seemingly wanting to say something.

But it was too late!

Linley did not hesitate in the slightest as he cut people down. He sneered inwardly, Don't even think about stalling for time!

Under her remorseful and unwilling gaze, she was cleaved in two by a single slash of the thunderous crescent!
