Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 593 Crimson Blood
scoff!

Etoris tore off his robes and removed his armor. The powerful physique of a hybrid, along with the vitality he gained from being given multiple doses of blood medicine by Bai Cangshu, allowed him to recover quickly from a wound that had been cut open in the chest after being bandaged.

Of course, the fact that she survived a single blow from a pureblood dragon was mainly thanks to Lady Serafina's blood.

Etoris looked up at the sky, where the bronze vortex had taken up a quarter of the sky. Every now and then, flames would fly out of the vortex and fall like meteors to who-knows-where.

"Your Excellency Serafina, are you alright?"

Etoris wiped the sweat from his body and looked at the saintess, whose white robe was almost completely soaked with sweat, with some concern.

The Dragon King is about to revive, and the world's temperature is rising continuously. Normally, he wouldn't think that slight temperature changes would cause much harm, but at this moment, he clearly felt that the Holy Maiden, who did not have dragon blood, was probably already very weak.

If the temperature continues to rise, Her Majesty Serafina may not be able to hold on for much longer.

He subconsciously looked at the powerful and arrogant man at the very front of the group. The man was a strongman who could single-handedly and overwhelmingly defeat the next-generation dragon and Ellis, the leader of the chorus. Apart from His Majesty Lawrence, he had never seen such strength.

"Heh, that's why I said I'd rather take you directly to that holy city. In your current state, if the temperature rises any further, you'll probably die of dehydration."

Etoris saw Tao Pai Pai turn around at that moment, making a flippant mocking gesture towards Seraphine, while the saintess's cheeks were already flushed an unnatural red, yet she still shook her head.

"This is the last time I will walk on this land. If I fly away directly, many people who are waiting on the way, hoping to have their ominous bloodline purified by me, will be disappointed."

"The unfulfilled hope, the yearning for light only to be abandoned in the end, the despair of gradually losing one's mind and finally transforming into a beast..."

The girl's voice was soft, but her words were clear. She looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but her sea-blue eyes were full of warmth and contemplation.

"Tsk~"

Bai Cangshu clicked his tongue inwardly, then turned away with a cold laugh.

He wasn't mocking Serafina; under the cover of the mind network, someone of that strength simply couldn't lie or conceal their thoughts in front of him.

This woman was indeed completely genuine; she showed no fear of the Crimson Pope Lawrence, nor was she afraid of herself, who had recently held a sword stained with dragon blood to her heart.

She only regretted that she didn't have more time to completely cure all those affected by the "beastification disease".

Like a saint walking on the earth, he was completely out of place in this miserable and distorted world.

puff.

She slit her wrist again and held it out to the man wrapped in a black robe by the roadside.

Bai Cangshu could even read what the girl bearing the name of the saintess was thinking at this moment.

"Ouch, that hurts! I wish my wound wouldn't heal so quickly!"

She didn't care about the weakness caused by the constant bleeding; instead, she was afraid of the pain and wished that the wound wouldn't heal.

Bai Cangshu's lips curled up, and he suddenly had the idea of ​​using the Omen of Evil God - Blade of Tyranny, an ability he rarely used, to cut open her arm.

Look at this innocent girl, will she be at a loss when faced with a wound that truly cannot heal itself?

"Your Excellency Saint Serafina, I apologize for being late..."

A group of tall humans, their figures concealed by gray robes, emerged from the alleyways of the dilapidated town and approached Serafina.

Etorius stood guard beside the red-haired girl. He recognized that this group, exuding the aura of wild beasts, were the Ash Hunters who hid in the darkness and constantly fought against the Healing Church.

Not long ago, it was precisely because of the people in this group who risked their lives to block the chorus that they were able to hold out until Lord Tao Pai Pai and I arrived.

Serafina watched as the woman in the black robe transformed back into a human, a natural smile on her face. She raised her hand, and beads of blood still trickled from her wrist.

"You should get healed too."

The lead hunter paused for a moment, and the grey-robed hunters behind him whispered something, but ultimately just shook their heads.
"Your Lady Serafina, your holy blood should not be shed in such a place."

Serafina's smile vanished, replaced by a frown; she had heard this claim countless times before.

Your blood shouldn't be shed in a place like this.

Your holy blood should be reserved for those more important. We lowly beings are unworthy of your salvation.

Whether it was His Majesty Lawrence, the knights of the chorus, the great pioneers of the Healing Church, or the hunters they encountered later, those hybrids with dragon blood flowing through their veins...

It seemed that no one wanted to use their blood to heal these ordinary people, and they didn't even want to help other hunters or paladins.

Everyone has a value system she can't understand, a system in which human lives are not equal, and therefore, they allow themselves to abandon those who are considered inferior...

Serafina's azure eyes lowered as she looked back at the gaunt woman. She knew very well that the woman was struggling to control her beast-like transformation and was having difficulty even obtaining food.

Even so, the other party was still not corrupted by that power.

This withered body is now proof of that noble soul. Doesn't such a person deserve to be saved?
Bai Cangshu saw through everything, clearly understanding the thoughts of both parties. The interrogation based on human nature seemed even more agonizing in this twisted and desperate world.

Perhaps neither side is wrong. One side hopes that this girl with a special constitution can retain her useful body and become a saint who can truly save the world.

On the other hand, they hope to do everything in their power to heal the suffering people in this bleak world.

He looked back out of the city, where another similar torture was taking place.

On one side were a large group of ordinary people wearing black robes and enduring the corrosive effects of blood healing. These people did not want to degenerate into beasts and harm others, so they came here because of its reputation, hoping to be purified by the saintess Serafina.
The people who kept them out of town were several men and women dressed in aristocratic attire. This group had cold expressions and exuded a terrifying aura.

A group of hybrids operating covertly around the world, they have traveled extensively, serving as paladins and hunters, all united by their shared goal of eradicating the dragons hiding in the human world.

In the future, this group will probably form an organization called the "Secret Party".

"Lady Serafina's blood cannot continue to be wasted by you."

As the leader spoke, his eyes turned golden, and a powerful aura emanated from him, causing the black-robed beast-transformed patients to instinctively retreat.

Soon, the verbal conflict turned into a bloody incident. One side upheld righteousness, while the other was burdened with the shame and despair of struggling to maintain humanity. Neither side had a way out, and they began to fight at the town's entrance.

The commotion was heard by Serafina and the others. The girl immediately turned around and ran towards the town entrance, but the experienced hunter and Etoris blocked her way with their bodies.

Etoris looked up, not daring to look at the girl's expression, and could only repeat...
“There are too many of them, you will die, Lady Serafina… You cannot die…”

Serafina tried several times, but was blocked by the strong men. In the end, she turned to look at the other group of people who seemed to be detached from the matter.

The tall, long-haired Asian man had a playful expression, as if he were watching some interesting drama.

The female knight in black armor remained silent, observing coldly, while only the black-haired woman seemed hesitant to speak.

The girl trudged across the dirty ground, the muddy water mixed with excrement staining her white robe.

"Lord Tao Pai Pai, you want something from me, don't you?"

The girl tilted her head back, her sea-blue eyes sparkling like waves.

"I will give it to you, whatever it is, my heart, my blood... I will give it to you."

"But before that, I want to... live freely!"

"I want to save them."

puff!
With a sound as soft as a finger piercing a thin sheet of paper, several wounds appeared on the girl's body. The next moment, she felt the blood on her wrist begin to flow out faster.

Bai Cangshu withdrew his hand, put his finger in his mouth, and a strong life force emanated from that drop of blood.

[You used Crimson Blood (Mixed), slightly increasing your vitality.]

He used logic to forcibly stimulate the girl's blood-producing function, which would enhance her physical activity in the short term, but would affect her lifespan in the long run.

However, neither he nor she seemed to care.

Following Bai Cangshu's orders, Artoria drew her sword, protected the girl, and headed towards the town's entrance, where she would likely witness the "giving" of the world's last saint.
