Mars Arthur, formerly known as Howard Smeritt, the youngest bishop candidate of the former Holy See, was exiled and permanently wanted by the Holy See for studying the power of the bloodline to capture human dissecters and other racial professionals, and was a strange man between genius and madness.
After being exiled by the Holy See, Mars not only did not repent, but still relied on his own power to capture the professionals, and joined the most difficult "anti-doctrine" among the hostile organizations of the Holy See of Light, and became one of them.
The Holy See sent many people to arrest him, but in the end he was all tricked around, and once the Holy See sent the Inquisition, Maas disappeared without a trace, and no longer committed crimes.
Five years ago, Mars relied on the power of the bloodline he had studied, transformed himself, gained great strength, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds, reaching level forty-nine.
But he was not satisfied, and wanted to obtain a more powerful bloodline to help him break through the legend, so he set his sights on the royal families of the kingdoms of Stewart and Kogra.
Mas first went to the kingdom of Kogra, where he appeared in the palace in the open, killed seven princes, drained them of their blood under the watchful eye of his servants, and finally left.
After transplanting the bloodline of the Korgla royal family into himself, his strength was improved again, but he still did not break through the limitations of the legend, so he repeated his old tricks and came to the kingdom of Stewart.
However, the kingdom of Stewart is much more powerful than Mars imagined, and each prince has the aura of at least three transcendent peak professionals by his side, making him unable to do anything.
Except for the eldest prince Laurien.
Since Mars was either studying the human body or arresting people, he didn't know anything about some things on the mainland, and he didn't know that Laurien himself was a warrior at the peak of the forty-ninth transcendent rank, a warrior stronger than any guard.
He made a move on Laurien, and then his first defeat was born.
"I didn't kill him, from his body, I saw the shadow of a man, so I kept him by my side. As she said this, a look of regret flashed in her eyes.
Yan Shenchou recovered from the shock of knowing the news, and her pretty face was covered with frost.
"He wants to dissect Leo and get the White Tiger bloodline in his body?"
Laurion nodded, and continued, "After he was caught by me, he told me all his identities and declared that he would serve me, as long as I gave him a drop of blood. โ
"I agreed, and Mars has successfully studied the power of the blood of the Stewart royal family through my blood, he is really a genius. โ
"Also a madman. Yan Shen interrupted coldly.
Laurion didn't retort, sensing that he was getting closer to his destination, and his gaze was getting colder.
After gaining the power of Laurien's bloodline, Mars still failed to break through the legend, and he fell into a frenzy, once escaping from Narsus while Laurien was not looking.
However, it was not long before Mars, who was covered in sword wounds and had only one breath left, appeared at Laurien's door again, and Laurien relented for a moment to cure him, and after inquiring about it, he learned something that shocked him.
It turned out that during the time he was away, Mars ran to Winterfell and tried to sneak up on Davis and steal some of his blood.
But Davis was too powerful, even if Mars cautiously sneaked into the mansion, before he could get close to Davis, he was strangled by endless sword qi and almost died directly.
Since then, Mars has changed like a different person, no longer studying bloodlines, and concentrating on following Laurien's side to be a qualified subordinate, and over time, Laurien will be relieved.
Unexpectedly, the appearance of Leo, who inherited Davis's bloodline, this time aroused the evil thoughts in Mars's heart.
"I sensed something was wrong with him when you showed up in the morning, and I warned him, but he still couldn't bear it......" Laurien said guiltily.
"Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself, it is Maas's own evil thoughts that have come back to life. Yan Shen said softly, holding the Phoenix Feather Sword tightly in his hand, a thick look of worry appeared in his eyes.
Laurien nodded silently, his gaze turning back to the front, quickly sharpening.
"It's here. โ
They stopped in front of an old church that had been abandoned, and there was no building in the vicinity except for this old church, and the old church was surrounded by weeds and had not been tended to for a long time.
It stands to reason that such a building should have been demolished or rebuilt, but it was only possible to keep it as it was, thanks to Laurien's own order.
"This is where Mars used to study my bloodline, and many facilities are in it, and if Mars wants to get Leo's bloodline, it is only possible to be here. Laurien said in a deep voice, and then saw Yan Shen enter the church without saying a word.
Laurien was slightly stunned, then sighed and quickly followed.
"Come with me, his lab is underground, and it's all deserted on the ground. Laurien stopped Yan Shen, who was looking for a room, and walked to the broken statue in the church, and when he stepped on it, he heard a "boom", and the church seemed to shake, and dust fell all around.
Yan looked at him in surprise, Laurien was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly, took out a magic lamp from the space ring, and shone it at his feet.
Through the bright light, Yan Shenchou saw a passage leading to the underground at Laurien's feet, and the floor blocking the entrance was actually made of fine iron, which had been deformed and dented by Laurien's foot at this time.
"Let's go, if Mars is inside, he should know that I am here when he hears this movement, and it depends on whether he still misses the old feelings and whether he can catch the last chance I gave him. Laurien spoke, and then walked into the passageway, down the stairs.
Opportunity?
A cold light flashed in Yan Shenchou's eyes, and he followed behind him silently.
As they walked into the passageway, in the basement not far from them, Mars looked obsessed, staring at a drop of crimson mixed with a silver thread of blood in the glass bottle in his hand.
"Is this the blood of the White Tiger bloodline? It's a fascinating color, if it were Davis, it would have been all silver. โ
Mars shook the glass bottle, his face gradually returning to normal, and looked at Leo next to him.
At this time, Leo had already taken off his shirt, revealing a body with perfect muscle lines and exuding a faint dragon might, and the undulating power of qi and blood under his skin was like a wild beast.
However, his powerful body was firmly locked by Mars with a spell at this time, and he couldn't move.
Hearing Mars's words, a mocking smile appeared on Leo's calm face, and he said lightly: "If it were my father, you would be dead by now." โ
"Not necessarily. โ
Mars shook his head, and at the same time placed the glass bottle on the table next to him, and a rich black mana emerged from his body, forming countless finger-thick tentacles, the tips were very sharp, and slowly swam towards Leo's body.
These tentacles formed by mana were filled with many different auras, both sacred and evil, which shocked Leo's heart.
Isn't Mars a priest, how could his magic be so evil......
Leo didn't have time to think about it, because Mars's mana tentacles had already touched his body, and a cold feeling reached his heart directly, as if his soul trembled.
Mars, however, frowned.
"Can't be pierced?"
Yes, Mars's mana tentacles swam on Leo's body for a long time, but none of them were able to pierce Leo's skin.
Seeing this scene, Leo smiled again, his body was strengthened by perfect dragon blood, and +5 weapons could fight against it, not to mention the mere mana tentacles.
"It's that you've cultivated a powerful body, which shouldn't be the credit of the White Tiger bloodline, but don't be too happy, although your skin is tough, it's still much worse than the dragon scales. Mars glanced at Leo, withdrew his mana tentacles, and said lightly.
Leo naturally didn't believe what he said, and if what Mars said was true, wouldn't it mean that he had dissected dragons?
Bang!
At this moment, a loud noise came from outside, causing the basement to shake slightly, and Mars was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
"It came so fast. โ
Whispering to himself, a burst of powerful coercion suddenly erupted from Mars's body, and terrifying mana poured out of his body like a tide, spreading in all directions, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Greet my hospitality, Your Highness Laurien. After doing all this, Mars chuckled, a pair of white gloves appeared in his hands, put them on, and walked towards Leo.
Watching him walk step by step, a pair of eyes flashing like a demonic light, Leo's pupils shrank tightly.
Not long ago, in a similar position, Mars used his hand to make a hole in his back and collect his blood.
Although Mars was taking advantage of his unpreparedness to sneak attack at that time, Leo was also unsure of whether his full defense could block Mars's attack.
"This guy is a forty-ninth level priest, he doesn't seem to be an ordinary priest, he can't beat him, he has to find a way to escape. Many thoughts crossed Leo's mind.
Sneering โ
Leo's eyes widened violently, his eyeballs were bloodshot, and his forehead was bruised.
"Oh, it seems to be very easy, all said, don't be too happy. Mars's voice sounded faintly, and Leo's expression became a little hideous because of the severe pain, staring at him deadly, without making a sound.
At this time, Mars's white-gloved right hand was like a knife, and it had pierced Leo's abdomen, and there was a special force around his palm, and the sound just now was that this force corroded Leo's skin and flesh.
Mars slowly deepened in his right hand, holding a larger glass bottle in his left hand, and took all the flesh and blood that Leo had detached from the wound, and in the blink of an eye, he had filled the bottle.
"Damn, this guy's spell not only makes it impossible for me to use my fighting energy and strength, but I can't even summon the Dragon God Armor. Leo watched all this he did, the corners of his eyes jumped fiercely, and anger rose in his heart.
"Isn't it curious how a priest of mine could use so many strange spells?" Mars looked up at him as if he had guessed his thoughts, and his hands did not stop, but he looked up at him.
Leo saw the corners of his mouth curl up, and then he felt a warm force suddenly rise in his abdomen, where the sharp pain was coming from.
This is...... Healing?Leo quickly sensed what this power was.
But soon, his face turned horrified.
Mars smiled, the divine power emanating from the palm of his hand suddenly paused, and the next moment, an extremely evil force replaced it, and in an instant, Leo's wound that had just been gradually healed by the healing technique corroded again.
"As you can see, this is not some strange spell, but an authentic light magic, a healing technique. โ
"It's just that I've revamped it a little bit. โ
