The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 345 Blood Core and Legend of the Gods
"Disappeared?"

David muttered to himself, but he didn't completely relax in his heart.

He knew that this powerful enemy might not have been completely defeated, but might just be temporarily hiding in the darkness.

At this moment, the earth trembled slightly.

A chilly air spread from the surroundings again.

David was startled and suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Could it be that--"

Suddenly, low and hoarse whispers came from all directions, and the undead that had been summoned and scattered in the battle seemed to gather again.

Behind these undead spirits, a blurry and ferocious figure gradually emerged. It was the leader of the bloodline wizards.

His face was twisted but with a sinister and complacent smile, he looked at David like prey.

"Do you think I will give in just like that?" His voice was as cold and chilling as if it came from the underworld.

"The power of death is endless, indestructible and even impossible to resist! I have never completely disappeared, and you - you are just paying the price for your ignorance!"

As his voice fell, the undead gathered again and continued to surge towards David. They let out shrill and desperate roars and pounced on him like a raging wave.

This time, they became even crazier and more ferocious, like hungry wolves rushing towards all the life that was about to collapse!
David once again mobilized the power of ether and chaos.

In an instant, these four elements rushed up to the sky like a torrent and merged with the chaotic blood flowing in his body.

Strands of dazzling light burst out from his body, raging around like a raging flame, driving away the haze brought by the undead!
Upon seeing this, the leader of the bloodline wizards once again mobilized all the aura of death, condensing it into a terrible dark storm, and forming a huge vortex together with those undead spirits.

The two forces intertwined into a violent vortex in the air. Countless elements collided and merged with the energy of death. Every collision was accompanied by a huge noise and shining light, making it almost impossible to look directly at.

The two forces intertwined violently in the air, forming a terrifying energy vortex. The surrounding sky seemed to be torn apart, with lightning and flames interweaving, as if doomsday had come.

David felt a strong pressure and knew that if he didn't give it his all, the battle would get completely out of control.

"The power of ether and the blood of chaos - combine!"

David clenched his teeth, and all the strength in his body gathered together in an instant, forming a shocking beam of light.

The column of light shot straight into the sky, like a new star of hope, shining a mysterious and powerful light in the midst of despair and darkness.

With a loud roar, the beam of light rushed towards the blood wizard leader and his undead army like a volcanic eruption.

"hateful!"

The leader roared, feeling an oppression he had never felt before.

He tried to mobilize more undead to resist it all.

But as David's invisible and powerful force approached, he found that the undead he summoned could not withstand the fluctuations of this horrific energy and were instantly swallowed up like dry leaves.

At this moment, the powerful ether force finally collided violently with the dark storm!
There was a deafening bang, and the shock wave generated by the collision between the two swept across like an earthquake. Countless undead were blown away, and the blood wizard leader also staggered back under the tremendous pressure!

However, just as he was about to lose his balance, a shadow rose from the ground and quietly spread behind him.

That was the ominous aura emanating from the seal deep within Blood Shadow Island.

It seemed to react to the battle and opened a dark passage between the two men, a door to another world, another deeper horror!

"It's open. It's finally open."

Even in the face of such tremendous pressure, the blood wizard leader suddenly laughed wildly.

"I have been waiting for this moment for a long, long time."

"The secret of the seventh-level god is about to unfold before my eyes!"

He knew that this opportunity was rare. This was an important moment for him to regain his freedom and escape from bondage. "Goodbye, damn wizard!"

Just when David was trying his best to suppress the enemy, the leader actually quickly fled in the direction where the mysterious shadow was coming from.

The moment he turned around, he was enveloped by twisted darkness, and the unstable air currents caused by the battle around him failed to prevent him from escaping.

In an instant, he merged into the black vortex, and no trace of him could be found anymore.

"Damn it!" David cursed, but it was too late.

He watched helplessly as the cunning and dangerous figure disappeared into thin air.

"I can't let you get away like this!"

However, at this moment, the entire space became extremely unstable due to this war, and the earth seemed to be on the verge of collapse at any time.

The aftermath of the battle spread out, causing the entire Blood Shadow Island to begin to tremble violently.

During the fierce confrontation between David and the leader of the bloodline wizards, other bloodline wizards on Blood Shadow Island were also observing all this in secret.

They originally thought that the leader could easily defeat David and regain control of the power of death, but the current situation made them feel an unprecedented despair.

"The leader was defeated... and escaped?"

There was a flicker of anxiety in the blood wizard's eyes. He tightly grasped the staff in his hand and his face was pale.

"what should we do?"

Another bloodline wizard asked in a trembling voice, and the shadow beside him seemed to sway with his inner uneasiness, "If the leader fails, what will happen to us?"

"He is our last hope!"

An experienced elder said in a deep voice, his hair was white but he was still resolute. He tried to calm the others down.

As the aftermath of the battle spread, they felt the aura of death in the air around them gradually getting heavier.

The island began to shake, and the earth seemed to roar in anger, and the turbulence made them even more panicked.

Everyone knew that if they lost their leader, they might no longer be able to control the undead and master the power of death.

“Look around!”

The young wizard pointed to the sky, and the undead spirits that had been summoned began to float and sway in disorder.

These undead have lost their goals and direction, like headless flies, and no longer obey the orders of their summoners.

They wandered around, prowling and wailing in this hopeless land, making constant cries of grief.

The pride and arrogance of the past have now turned to dust.

But at this moment, no matter how hard they tried, facing everything that was about to collapse, they could not find any way to resist. Under the oppression of this invisible force, everyone fell into deep fear, and no one could find a way to deal with it.

At this moment, a dazzling light broke through the haze. It was a beam of light formed by the ether power released by David.

However, this light did not bring them hope. Instead, it made every bloodline wizard more clearly aware of their own insignificance.

They saw the powerful strength David displayed when confronting the leader, and the resolute belief he showed at that moment, and everyone felt a strong sense of uneasiness in their hearts.

If even the most powerful leader was defeated, how could they possibly fight against this force alone?

"President David won, and now it's time for reckoning."

In comparison, the dragonborn wizards were very excited and began to suppress these bloodline wizards.

Especially after David joined the battlefield, the battle instantly became a one-sided battle, and these bloodline wizards were unable to resist at all.

As David's beam of light tore through the haze, the situation on the entire Blood Shadow Island changed drastically in an instant.

The originally scattered and disorderly undead began to be affected, as if they had lost the guidance of their souls, and fled in all directions.

At this time, the dragon wizards on the side took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. They pounced on the blood wizards who had lost their fighting spirit and sense of direction like wolves and tigers.

"Quick! Gather your forces!"

A young blood wizard shouted desperately, but his voice seemed insignificant in the chaos.

Faced with a powerful enemy, they were already filled with fear and could no longer muster up their spirits.

The dragonborn wizards came like a tide and quickly surrounded these bloodline wizards in the center.

With the sound of spells and the waving of staffs, everything happened in a flash.

Those who were once proud of their ability to control the undead and dark forces have now become helpless insects and are easily captured.

"You are all dead!" said a dragon wizard coldly, with a dazzling light flashing in his hands. "From now on, as long as we are willing, you will serve us forever!"

As these words were spoken, bursts of wild laughter rang out, and the captured bloodline wizards looked at each other, feeling despair about their fate.

They tried to shout, but they could no longer find the confidence and pride they once had when they were able to control the undead and master the power of darkness.

Now, when they face their enemies, they can only be captured and tied up in humiliation.

In just a few minutes, almost all the remaining bloodline wizards were captured.

They found that they could not perform magic or call upon the dead, and could only watch themselves being bound and imprisoned.

David stood on a high place after the battle and watched this scene, with anger and unwillingness intertwined in his heart.

He knew that these people had been cruel and powerful enemies, but he also understood that even enemies had their unknown side.

At the same time, the captured bloodline wizards began to realize their situation.

Some tried to struggle but found that they could not escape; some lowered their heads in silence, unwilling to face their impending fate.

In this rapidly changing, life-and-death moment, they finally understood that in that darkness and death, there was a deeper and more terrifying unrest waiting for them.

"Prepare for interrogation!" David ordered directly: "You must hand over all your secrets, otherwise you will suffer even deeper pain!"

At this moment, a chill ran through the hearts of those imprisoned people - they knew that there would be no chance of turning things around.

As David gave the order for interrogation, the Dragonborn wizards quickly took the captured Bloodline wizards to a dark secret room covered with ancient and mysterious runes.

The runes flickered with a faint light, as if whispering the long-hidden secrets of this land.

David walked in the front, he knew that these captives might be hiding important information related to Blood Shadow Island.

"You must hand over all the secrets about Blood Shadow Island," David said coldly, "otherwise, you will face endless pain."

A young bloodline wizard raised his head, despair and anger in his eyes.

He knew that for them, this was a death sentence that was inescapable. He gritted his teeth and said, "You can torture us, but we will never reveal any secrets!"

"Humph." David smiled slightly, although he didn't care about one person's resistance.

"You think resilience is courage, but when faced with real danger, such courage becomes meaningless."

Still silent, those captured were filled with fear, yet unable to resist what they faced.

David waved his hand to signal the Dragonborn wizard to prepare to begin the interrogation. A Dragonborn in flowing robes and a stern face cast a spell, projecting a silver light onto the young wizard.

"This is a telepathic technique that allows me to refute the information in your deepest heart." He said calmly: "If you don't want to endure the pain, you can choose to hand over the information voluntarily."

The young wizard's face turned pale, and he finally realized that he could not escape the powerful pressure before him.

He looked around and saw the increasingly desperate and anxious expressions of his companions - one life after another was about to be destroyed and hope was constantly fading away.

"Okay!" he said in a trembling voice.

David nodded: "Let's get started."

"We have heard it before - about an ancient and terrible power hidden deep within this island."

The young wizard hesitated for a moment, then continued, "That is a relic left behind by a seventh-level god. We call it a blood core."

"It is said that this core contains endless bloodline power and is the source of all bloodlines. It is a power that our leader has been pursuing and trying to control!"

"Seventh-rank divine spirit? Blood core? Origin of bloodline" David frowned. This name stirred up waves in his heart.

After hearing these words, the other dragonborns also turned their attention to look over. They had never thought that this seemingly ordinary island could hide such a huge secret.

"Yes." The young blood wizard took a deep breath and continued, "The blood core is a relic left by the seventh-level gods in ancient times. It contains endless blood power."

"It can not only enhance the magic of the operator, but also affect all life around, causing them to produce powerful blood. On this island, all bloodline wizards originate from this power."

David frowned further, knowing what this meant.

"Our leader has been searching for this blood core. He firmly believes that only by mastering this power can he truly rule over all living things."

David's expression became even more serious when he heard this.

Now, the blood wizard leader has entered a mysterious place sealed in the Blood Shadow Island.

And from what he knew, the legendary blood core might be hidden there.

If the power of the seventh-level gods and the legend of the blood core are true, he must also enter the seal and stop the blood wizard leader.
