The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 139 Entering the body
As the heart of sacrifice in David's body was working at full capacity.

The power in the blood sacrifice formation quickly spread out and turned into blood light.

The bright red light enveloped the entire mountain. The vampires who had just descended were caught off guard and were wrapped in the powerful blood light.

Blood flowed like a river in the magic circle, and an irresistible force made the vampires unable to move.

They struggled in pain, but the more they struggled, the faster the strength in their bodies was lost, and they were completely suppressed by the blood sacrifice formation!
The only one who could move freely on the field was the Vampire Duke.

Relying on his own powerful strength, he easily broke free from the restraining power of the blood sacrifice ritual!

"Blood food is always just blood food."

"The blood-fed bread of the sixth-rank knight, I wonder if it will taste better."

The Vampire Duke licked his dry lips with a look of superiority on his face.

This stems from the vampires' innate sense of superiority over humans.

To the vampires, humans are equivalent to the livestock they raise, and are no different from ordinary livestock!

The next moment, his figure turned into a blood shadow and rushed towards the Frostwolf Duke, wanting to tear the Frostwolf Duke in front of him into pieces with his sharp claws!

David faced the oncoming Vampire Duke with a cold light in his eyes.

He knew that the opponent's strength was far above that of other vampires, and the blood sacrifice array alone could not completely suppress this powerful opponent.

But by sealing those vampires, his goal has been achieved.

What he feared most was that these vampires would kill people indiscriminately in the city. If it was just a one-on-one situation, he would not be afraid at all!
After handing over the blood sacrifice array to the barbarian high priest, he faced the enemy head-on.

Ice-cold air instantly gathered in his hands, and a cold light flashed in his palms.

He used all his strength to activate the giant frost wolf bloodline in his body, stomped his feet hard, the earth trembled, and his figure rushed towards the vampire duke like an arrow.

Two powerful forces collided in the air, and for a moment coldness and blood were intertwined.

David activated the power of the heart of the ice element, and the power of ice fighting spirit completely erupted. The terrifying ice power enveloped the vampire.

The blood in the vampire duke's body resisted the power of ice, but his expression changed slightly.

He obviously did not expect that the Duke of Frostwolf's control over the power of ice would be so terrifying, which reminded him of those wizards.

"Are you kidding me?!"

"The knights are no match for us vampires!"

The vampire duke roared, his eyes were bloodshot, his body was covered in blood light, and he concentrated all the blood energy in his body on his claws.

The next moment, his figure suddenly turned into a ray of blood light, and he quickly came to David's side, and his bloody claws grabbed down with the power of tearing the air!

But just as the blood was falling, he suddenly grabbed nothing.

His pupils shrank instantly, and horror appeared in his eyes.

Obviously, he never thought that the Frostwolf Duke would be faster than himself after using the Blood Shadow Technique!

David used his extraordinary speed to dodge the attack directly, then threw a punch with his backhand!
The vampire duke reacted and rushed forward with his blood claws.

Fists and claws.

The next moment, the Vampire Duke felt an irresistible force coming!

He gritted his teeth and blood suddenly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Then, his figure was suddenly blown away, and he had no ability to resist at all!
boom!
The figure of the Vampire Duke crashed directly into a big tree.

The terrifying force directly smashed the tree into pieces, leaving a long scar!

"Your speed and strength!"

"How is this possible? Why is the knight so powerful?!"

The Vampire Duke raised his head, his face full of astonishment.

He didn't know how many knights he had killed, but he had never seen such a strong sixth-level knight!
Watching the Duke of Frostwolf falling from the sky, he rushed up again with unwillingness in his heart.

boom!
Another collision.

At this time, David has completely activated the seed of life in his body.

At this moment, his strength has reached the peak level of a sixth-order knight!

Even if the vampire is indeed stronger than a knight of the same level, he is still much weaker than him!
Coupled with the existence of extraordinary powers, his fists carried terrifying power, and he suppressed the vampire duke just by relying on his physical strength!
After a brief stalemate, the figure of the Vampire Duke flew backwards at an even faster speed!

boom!
The earth suddenly shook.

The vampire duke was covered in blood, his face full of disbelief.

"The blood race doesn't seem to be as strong as the legend says."

David clenched his fists, or perhaps his strength was really too strong.

The strength of this vampire duke is indeed not weak, but he just met himself who has just broken through in strength!
The Vampire Duke has already climbed up from the ground.

This time, there was no bloody light emanating from his body, but he was enveloped by the power of moonlight.

in the sky.

The silver moon seemed to be attracted by something and suddenly cast a ray of moonlight.

The light of the silver moon was like a silver stream of light, quickly converging on the vampire duke.

With the infusion of moonlight, his originally injured body began to repair rapidly, and the wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this?"

The Vampire Duke sneered, with a creepy disdain in his voice, "You have not seen the true power of a vampire."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly opened his arms and chanted an ancient and mysterious spell.

The next moment, an unprecedented dark force as if coming from the depths of the abyss burst out from his body.

The Vampire Duke's body began to expand continuously under this force.

Flesh wings belonging to a bat appeared behind him, his skin became twisted and blood red, his teeth became sharper, and the red light in his eyes became more intense.

A dark force surged like a tide, making him look even more terrifying and hideous in the moonlight.

"Feel the fear, knight!" roared the Vampire Duke.

His voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, full of evil.

"Is this the true form of the Blood Demon?"

David frowned, a look of surprise on his face.

According to the vampires he captured.

In fact, they are not native vampires. Their ancestors are secondary vampires transformed from humans.

However, it is very difficult for these secondary vampires to display their true blood demon form.

It can be imagined that the blood of this vampire duke is very strong, and he may even be the first generation vampire!
After the Vampire Duke revealed his true vampire form, he could feel that the Vampire Duke's power was several times stronger than before!
He took a deep breath and pushed the power of the seed of life to its limit again. At the same time, he activated the barbarian blood in his body to strengthen his physical fitness!

The confrontation between the two made the atmosphere extremely heavy.

Suddenly, the Vampire Duke flapped his flesh wings violently and swooped down at an extremely fast speed!

Seeing this, David rushed forward at extraordinary speed!

"boom!"

The two sides collided again.

The shock caused by this confrontation was more violent than before!

For a moment, they were like two streams of light, constantly interweaving in the air, and every collision brought a deafening sound and astonishing destructive power!
The speed displayed by the Vampire Duke at this time was not weaker than his at all!

Although he still has the upper hand in strength, the dark power seems to have given the Vampire Duke endless vitality!

Whenever the Vampire Duke was injured, he would recover quickly.

"We can't continue to be in this stalemate!"

David took a deep breath and activated his beastly talent.

The next moment, a large number of blood lines appeared on his body, and then his hair suddenly turned blood red.

At the same time, a large amount of blood-red hair appeared on his body, and he was filled with a strong bloody aura, like a savage!
Seeing this scene, the Vampire Duke's eyes suddenly focused and he asked in surprise: "Are you a barbarian?"

The barbarians who were trying their best to use the blood sacrifice ritual to restrain the vampires were all shocked when they saw this scene!

The appearance of the Duke of Frostwolf at this moment was exactly the same as the appearance of the God of the Wilderness in their impression!
This reminded them of the scene of the sacrifice to the God of the Wilderness, and they were more convinced that the Duke of Frostwolf was the messenger of the Lord of the Wilderness!
David has already mobilized all his strength at this time. Even if the King of Stone Ridge meets him again at this moment, he may not be able to resist!
Then, he shot out again like a cannonball and rushed towards the vampire Duke!
The two figures collided at high speed in the air, like two meteorites hitting each other. Every collision caused a deafening sound and violent shock wave.

The surrounding big trees were shaken to the ground and cracks appeared on the ground.

boom!
Suddenly, a loud roar was heard.

David seized the opportunity, gathered terrifying energy in his fist, and punched the Duke straight in the chest!

"boom!"

With this punch, even the air was distorted!
In an instant, the shock wave generated by the horrific collision directly shattered all the trees within a radius of dozens of meters!
At this moment, time seemed to stand still. The vampire duke's pupils shrank to the extreme, and then his whole body was suddenly blown away by the powerful force!
After drawing an arc in the air, it slammed heavily onto the ground in the distance!
In this collision, David gained an absolute advantage, and the Vampire Duke did not have much ability to resist!

The Vampire Duke climbed up with difficulty.

At this point, he could no longer maintain his true vampire form.

Compared to before, his face was paler and half of his jet-black hair had turned gray.

His face was full of disbelief at this moment. He had never thought that he would actually lose, and lose so miserably!
David's figure fell, and at the same time a low and ancient spell came out of his mouth.

The blood sacrifice array was activated again, and the power of the sacrificial heart pushed the power of the array to the limit.

The powerful sacrificial power was condensed into a huge red beam of light through the magic circle, which descended from the sky and enveloped the vampire Duke!
"what--"

The Vampire Duke screamed.

He could feel his strength draining away, and fear appeared in his eyes.

He knew that this was a blood sacrifice ritual of the barbarians.

If he cannot escape from the blood sacrifice formation, his final consequence will be to become a sacrificed victim! David is now fully urging the blood sacrifice ritual.

Although it is very tempting to use a mental contract to control the vampire duke in front of him.

But he didn't intend to give the Vampire Duke any chance.

As long as there is a chance, turning it into sacrificial energy and storing it in the heart of sacrifice is also a good choice.

"what--"

The Vampire Duke can still hold on at this time.

But the entire bodies of those vampires were suddenly absorbed by the blood sacrifice formation!
Amidst waves of desperate roars, their bodies turned into a ball of blood and sank into the heart of sacrifice within David!

The Vampire Duke's heart sank as he heard the painful roars of his men.

He knew that he would become like his men next, his body being devoured by the blood sacrifice ritual in front of him and transformed into the power in the opponent's body!
At this moment, the fear in his heart overcame his pride as a vampire.

He lowered his head to the bloody bread he thought was in his heart, "Don't kill me, I am willing to swear to Silver Moon that I recognize you as my master."

David was moved when he heard this, "Okay, from today on, I will be your master!"

As his voice fell, the heart of contract in his body suddenly activated.

The next moment, the power of the Heart of Contract manifested itself and began to build a spiritual contract between the two.

Seeing this scene, the Vampire Duke suddenly widened his eyes, and then a low voice came to his ears, "Don't resist."

With the power of the Heart of the Contract, the spiritual contract was successfully established, and this powerful vampire Duke became David's servant at this moment!
"Owner."

Wait until David stops instigating the blood sacrifice ritual.

The Vampire Duke's gaze fell on the human in front of him and he spoke with difficulty: "Master."

He could feel that a trace of his soul was in the other party's hands, making it impossible for him to go against the other party's will.

wizard!

The Frostwolf Duke in front of him actually possessed this kind of wizard power.

This was something he had never thought of before, and now he could only accept this fact helplessly.

From being aggressive at the beginning to being reduced to a slave now, the Vampire Duke's heart is full of bitterness and regret.

The lack of soul also means that he will never be able to advance in the future.

"From now on, you can be called Dicka."

David said calmly, and gave his slave a name directly.

"Yes, my master."

The Vampire Duke lowered his head. At this moment, even his original name was taken away from him.

But under the most stringent slave contract, he could not muster up any thought of resistance.

David can also feel the soul connection between himself and the vampire Duke under the heart of the contract, and he can dominate everything about the other party at will!
"Your Majesty the Barbarian King!"

The barbarian leaders also gathered around at this time, their faces respectful.

Even if there was no allegiance contract at this time, they would never disobey the messenger of the Lord of the Wilderness!
"Let's go back first." David nodded.

This time, he had consumed a lot of physical energy and had to take a good rest.

In addition, he also wanted to get more information about vampires from the vampire Duke he had just conquered.

The hill behind the castle.

Dick and other vampires are hiding here.

When David arrived with the Vampire Duke, the vampires were really scared.

The suppression from their blood made them realize that the person in front of them was actually a vampire duke!
When they heard the vampire Duke actually call His Excellency the Duke "Master", they were shocked for a moment, and it took them a long while to react.

David had already asked the Vampire Duke to tell him the news he knew, the most important of which was naturally the news about Lion City.

Originally, David thought that after getting rid of the Vampire Duke, the vampires hidden in the East Territory would no longer pose any threat.

But the Vampire Duke said that the real master of the East Territory was actually the sleeping Blood Queen, a terrifying existence whose strength reached the quasi-seventh level!
Quasi seventh level!
When David heard this, his heart couldn't help but sink.

If this seventh-level Blood Queen really wakes up, he may not be her opponent even if he tries his best.

I'm afraid that only by sacrificing a sixth-level magical pet can we have the ability to fight back temporarily.

Fortunately, the Blood Queen has not yet awakened from her slumber.

The current Vampire Duke is the strongest vampire in the East, so controlling the Vampire Duke is equivalent to controlling all the vampires in the East!
"Ok?"

"There is another fifth-level vampire female marquis in Lion City?"

David's heart moved.

All the vampires he had captured recently were male.

If he could possess a female vampire, he could obtain vampire blood from her.

This can help him better understand the power held by vampires, and vampires also have very strong control over life energy.

Obtaining vampire blood can also help him better control life energy.

"The next step is to attack Lion City." David took a deep breath.

Now, he controls half of the East Territory, while the other half is still in the hands of the Kingdom Army.

Especially now in Lion City, the sixth-rank knight, the commander of the Kingdom Legion, has already arrived to defend Lion City, which is much more difficult to attack than Donglin City.

However, now that there is a sixth-level vampire duke here, he feels that he can borrow the power of the vampire.

……

Inside the lord's castle.

Luen was waiting anxiously.

It has been a day since the Duke left the castle.

She didn't know what the Duke was going to do, but his expression was very solemn at that time, and he must have encountered something big.

It was not until she saw the Duke appear in the distance that Luen breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to greet him, like a wife waiting for her husband.

David's expression softened as he looked at Luen who was holding him. Luen was indeed a good wife and mother, which was very similar to Leah.

Luen would never refuse his request.

"I'm back." David smiled.

"Ah."

Luen nodded heavily.

She didn't ask what happened and began to serve the Duke at his meal.

"Your Excellency the Duke, would you please take a rest first?" Luen said softly.

"No, I'm not tired."

David chuckled and pulled Luen towards the room.

Luen blushed immediately upon seeing this. She had been following the Duke during this period of time, so naturally she had to bear all of the Duke's firepower.

When David returned to the room, he picked up Luen and walked towards the bed.

He planned to upgrade the Mountain Rock Lion bloodline to the fourth level as soon as possible. In addition to gaining new bloodline abilities, the most important thing was that the fourth-level Mountain Rock Lion bloodline could activate some of the mechanisms left in the castle by the Duke of the East.

Luen's skills were still a bit clumsy. After reaching the bed, he lay down, then lifted his feet and turned his face away, looking shy.

David approached her and climbed up directly. Then he adjusted his position, grabbed one of the jade feet with one hand, and shook it gently.

His movements became faster and faster, and then he let Luen's feet rest on his shoulders, stretched out his hands to lift her waist, bent it into an arch, and began to practice vigorously.

Finally, Luen's head tilted back and her hair fell down.

[You have completed a training session, Mountain Rock Lion Bloodline +56]

As Luen successfully activated the blood in his body and became a formal knight, the efficiency of his training has greatly improved, but it is still relatively weak.

Fortunately, diligence can make up for lack of talent. Luen is a hard-working and obedient person. After practicing continuously morning, noon and night, she is finally reaching the standard of breaking through to the fourth level.

[Mountain Rock Lion Bloodline: Level 23 (10000/), obtains bloodline ability: Rock Body]

After working overtime, he finally upgraded the Mountain Rock Lion bloodline to the fourth level and also gained a new bloodline ability.

Rock Body: Can cover the body with a layer of armor as hard as rock, greatly improving defense and making it immune to most damage from physical attacks.

David glanced at Luen who had fallen asleep due to exhaustion, covered her with a blanket, and went to the mirror.

As his mind moved, gray-brown lines gradually appeared on the surface of his skin, like the rugged rock walls on a mountain. This was the effect brought about by his rocky body. He felt that his skin had really turned into real rock!

"Extraordinary soul, elements entering the body!"

His heart suddenly moved, and the energy of the earth element continued to merge into his body.

The next moment, he felt the flesh and blood beneath his skin being affected by the energy of the earth element, and actually showing some signs of petrification.

“It seems like it really works.”

"As long as I bring the earth element into my body, combined with the effect of the rock body ability, my entire body can be turned into rock!"

David nodded in satisfaction.

He could feel that in the state of rock body, his sensitivity and control over the earth element had become stronger, and he even had a feeling of becoming one with the element.

Moreover, his rocky body allows him to merge into one with the earth beneath him!
His mind moved, and his figure suddenly and slowly merged into the earth. A large amount of earth element energy continued to gather and exercise his body.

This is exactly the effect of elements entering the body after a transcendent soul, although it cannot be compared with the state of unity between man and nature that only a true seventh-level sky knight can master.

But in this state, he can indeed use this opportunity to train his elemental body in advance, in preparation for breaking through to the seventh level and allowing the elements to enter his body!

His strength has reached the peak of the sixth level. Every breakthrough from now on will be crucial to him. This is a shackle that is difficult to break!
