101. Kane who is terminally ill
The endless darkness has swallowed everything in the world, and there is no light in sight.
In this kind of place, where you can't see your fingers, the area ten meters away is an unknown, or rather an abyss of death. Except for the ability to see darkly, no one can have the ability to move freely in such an environment. Of course, if you have abilities like Transcendent Perception, you may be fine, but you must know that Transcendent Perception is a type of legendary ability, and it is a relatively rare legendary ability.
"Sixty, fifty-nine, fifty-eight......"
There was a faint voice silently counting down the countdown.
"Thirty, twenty-nine, twenty-eight......"
The voice was not clear and loud, and it was even whispered like a dream.
"Five, four, three, two, one."
As the countdown ended, a faint light finally lit up.
The complete darkness like chaos finally disappeared, but this faint light alone was obviously not bright enough, at most, it was from not being able to see the surrounding environment clearly to being able to barely see the environment one or two meters away.
Then, after a flicker of light, the whole world suddenly became completely bright.
As in the day.
A figure walked out of a cavern, and it was this person who made the countdown sound just now.
His situation was a bit peculiar: his clothes were almost tattered strips of cloth, barely covering his body. But the skin exposed to the air was a little white, and the clothes were already torn like this, and there were no scars on his body. The only person who could identify him was probably a black sword beside this personβfrom this point of view, this person should be a swordsman.
As for age and the like, it is impossible to tell obviously, because he has a silver mask on his face.
But it's a mask. It's better to say that the skin is more appropriate.
Because his entire face was covered with a layer of silver luster, although he could not clearly determine his age, at least the outline of his facial features could still be seen.
"Dad, how long are we going to stay here?" The black sword suddenly made a sound.
There is no doubt that this person with a silver layer on his face is Sean.
I saw Sean retract his gaze and look up at the sky. Then he shook his head and said, "I don't know either." β¦β¦ But these guys in the underworld are always able to send people to the surface from time to time, and maybe we can start with that. β
"Oh." The Black King's voice answered, "Hey, Dad, that little vampire is here again." β
"Oh?" Sean raised an eyebrow, then looked at the trail where he was hiding out.
There, an emaciated figure was gradually walking towards Sean.
This figure has short blond hair and features that are as well-defined as knives. looks handsome and extraordinary, especially the happy smile after seeing Sean, which makes his whole person full of a sunny temperament. No one would doubt that a person like this would be thrown into the surface world and say that he was a noble holy knight, after all, some churches don't require them to be good at fighting when they select church knights, as long as they are handsome.
"Hey, Master Zorro!" This guy who was called a little vampire by the Black Lord after seeing Sean. He waved his hand excitedly, and then ran quickly towards Sean. "I brought you the blood river wine from the fried cutlet."
"As I said, I don't drink blood river wine." Sean sighed and said helplessly.
"But I heard from my sister that the Blood River Wine will help us recover from our blood injuries." The little vampire said with a serious face, but when it came to the back, his face was a little shy. "And...... And it's ......"
"I know, I know." Sean took the steak from the little vampire's hand and unceremoniously bit into it, "But I don't want to drink it at all, besides, it's your trophy." Isn't it? β
"But...... But......" the little vampire seemed to feel that something was wrong, "but if it weren't for Master Zorro, I wouldn't have been in the top 20 of the competition this time." β¦β¦ So I think ......"
"Okay, don't scream like a, this thing is useless to me, let you drink it and you will drink it." Sean pursed his lips disdainfully.
It's been almost a month since he's been in this underworld.
When he was dragged into the explosion circle by the female vampire archduke, Sean immediately activated his magic seal and turned his whole body into silver scales.
However, while this would protect his body from sharp cuts, the shock wave of the explosion, the high temperatures, and the damage caused by the heavy fall were not fully resistant. And most importantly, Sean has no idea how he got to this underworld, he only remembers that in the hot vortex of explosions, he and Serena gave each other another hard blow, and then he was caught in a large maelstrom.
When he woke up again, he found that he had come to the underworld, and was obviously in a state of serious injury - even though the silver scales protected his skin from being cut by some strange and special sharp object and caused bleeding to death, but the injuries from the heat, shock, and concussion still caused many injuries inside his body, and this result was that Sean's current strength was greatly reduced.
As it stands, it can only be maintained at the level of lower gold.
If you forcibly burst out with all your strength, you can restore the combat power of the powerhouse of the Holy Domain, but the battle time can't be too long, usually five minutes is the limit, if it exceeds five minutes, it will cause some damage to the current body. If the battle lasts longer, then it will even cause permanent damage to the body, and as for how long this permanent damage is, Sean is not interested in trying.
Of course, although the loss of strength is a bad thing, it is not without good things.
The good thing is that after Sean experienced a shock that was no less than the explosion of dimensional space, he also had a higher understanding of the laws of space and time, and he was now able to initially harmonize his own laws of time with the laws of space, and produce a true realm unique to the powerhouses of the upper holy realm. However, this power is still not well used at the moment, so it is not a real high-level Sacred Domain powerhouse for the time being, let alone stepping into the legend.
Besides. Even Sean's third heart seems to have been damaged by that heavy blow, and is currently wilting a lot.
To some extent, this also greatly slowed down Sean's death time, giving him more opportunities to find ways to break through his own limits.
You know, after the battle with Christina, Sean's third heart is like taking some supplement. Accelerated growth rate. To a certain extent, this weakened Sean's combat effectiveness, but he couldn't tell outsiders about this kind of thing, after all, this kind of breakthrough in realm and strength could only rely on himself.
But now, thanks to Serena's assistance, Sean's second heart has also been damaged to a certain extent, and the current strength in his body is repairing the second heart, and the malaise of the third heart naturally cannot be recovered.
Sean exhaled softly, the steak in his hand had been eaten.
This food simply can't meet Sean's nutritional needs, but he can't even move now. Naturally, there was no way to ask for more, so I could only stay here to recuperate.
In fact, when he first came to the underworld, the situation was much more miserable than it is now, and if it weren't for the little vampire in front of him, Sean would never have had a chance to survive. And he found that the little vampire in front of him did not have deep contact with the outside world, and he did not have the ferocity of being a vampire, but was more like a simple teenager. This also made Sean have a certain change in his opinion of the Bloodline.
Especially after learning that this little ghost has been bullied by members of the same clan, Sean thought of a way to train him.
However, in just one month, there is naturally no way to achieve any results in training. Being able to get the top twenty in the competition within their clan, Sean almost wondered how weak this clan really was. In particular, this little vampire has a problem that can be said to be terminally ill, which makes Sean even more worried about the future of this little vampire.
"Master Zorro......" The little vampire looked at Sean a little timidly.
"Open your mouth." Sean spoke.
"Huh?" The little vampire hadn't figured out the situation yet, but he still opened his mouth obediently.
Sean did not hesitate to snatch the bottle from the little vampire's hand, and then uncorked the bottle and stuffed it directly into the little vampire's mouth, directly pouring all the liquid in the bottle into the little vampire's mouth.
The next moment. The little vampire's face changed suddenly, and he was about to lean over and vomit, but he was slapped on the chest by Sean, and the little vampire choked suddenly, and all the liquid was swallowed directly by him. But that's it. The little guy's face became even more ugly, and he fell directly to the ground and began to retch, and his bloodless face suddenly became even paler.
"Tsk." Sean pursed his lips, "Kane, the bloodline with faintness, you're the first person I've ever seen in my life." β¦β¦ I don't know how you became a member of the Bloodline. But I'm understandable that you're two hundred years old and still a blood knight. β
"My ......" The little vampire named Kane, who also suffered from fainting, just wanted to open his mouth to refute, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he felt a wave of nausea, and continued to lower his head and retch, as if he wanted to vomit out all the things he had just drunk, but unfortunately his approach was obviously in vain.
Blood River Wine is said to be wine, but it is actually a kind of plasma purified and refined by using the unique river water of the underground world and the blood of alien beasts and demonic beasts.
This kind of plasma can provide a strength increase for the bloodline below the baron rank, although the growth rate is not fast, but in terms of the bloodline's almost infinite lifespan, there are still many benefits over time. Normally, even if you don't have any talent or ability, as long as you take this kind of plasma regularly, you can probably step into the baron class at the age of 100, and even if you are a little more wasteful, you can reach the baron level at the age of 150.
But the vampire Kane in front of him, who was retching on the ground, was now almost two hundred and thirty years old, and he was still only the lowest-level blood knight among the members of the blood clan.
This is simply a shame for any clan.
On the surface, it is no different from a mentally retarded child for human society.
So it's natural that Kane will be bullied by people in the clan.
This time, the competition within their clan was only a competition between the two ranks of Blood Knight and Lord, and Kane had been at the bottom for the past two hundred years. However, this time to be able to break into the top twenty and get a reward for a bottle of Blood River Wine is definitely amazing news. Sean can even imagine what kind of treatment Kane will be treated next, and it is precisely because of this that Sean will force Kane to drink this bottle of Blood River wine.
For Kane at the moment, he must not miss any opportunity to improve his strength.
Because of the Blood River Wine, it has almost no effect on increasing strength for the Baron rank, and can only be used as a healing medicine, let alone the Baron rank and above. Of course, there are also better quality blood river wine that can have a certain strength increase effect on the baron and above, but that kind of thing is something that even some blood clan bigwigs have to compete for, and how can this clan of Kane have such a superb thing that Sean deduced from Kane.
"Okay, it's useless for you to pick and choose." Sean kicked Kane and motioned for him to stand up, "Blood River Wine, once you drink it, it will immediately transform into blood to nourish your body, and there will be no residue at all, it's just a psychological side effect for you." β¦β¦ Get up, I've decided to teach you something else today, because you're running out of time. β
"Don't have much time?" Kane vomited tears and snot, but the disgusting taste did not dissipate.
"A waste like you, who has been at the bottom, is suddenly able to break into the top twenty of the competition, especially since many lords have been defeated by you, a blood knight, what do you think those people will think?" Sean sneered and looked at Kane with a mocking expression, "They will definitely think that you must have obtained something good, so they suddenly counterattacked them." Then they will definitely find a way to get you in trouble, and in serious cases, they may even kill you and take your blood core. β
"No...... Impossible......" Kane's face turned even paler, "We are a family of a clan, and...... And ......"
"And your clan has legal protection, not allowing clan members to kill each other?"
"Yes, yes!" Kane said loudly.
Sean sneered, his face full of disdain: "If you haven't grown up, and if you're so wasteful as always, no one will care about you." But because you have been non-existent for so many years, you suddenly showed an amazing reversal in this competition, so you have entered the eyes of many people. It won't be long before someone comes to you and asks you about it, and then what are you going to do? β¦β¦ Exposing my existence? Or do you hide it for me? β
"I ......"
"And then? Whether you expose my existence or hide it for me, your outcome will not change much. Sean shook his head and let out a sigh of surprise, "Maybe the old people in your clan won't care too much, but what about the ambitious younger generation?" Especially those clan members who are only 100 years old and are viscounts? They will definitely be very interested in your growth, and you will become a victim. β¦β¦ As long as those guys are clean, they won't be punished in any way. After all, they are geniuses, the hope of your clan's future, and you? What are you? β
"No, it won't! I ......"
"Won't? Why don't we make a bet? Sean smiled.
This smile, if it were seen by those who were familiar with Sean in the surface world, would definitely be secretly vigilant.
Because Sean's demonic smile has almost become an absolute signature sign that he wants to do bad things.
"Good!" After hesitating for a moment, perhaps out of trust in the clan, Kane nodded heavily, "My family, they will definitely not hurt me!" β
"Then let's wait and see." Sean smiled and said no more, "Oh, by the way, you'd better get ready." Because the next time you come to me, we're probably going to have to leave here. (To be continued.) )
