Heroes of Might and Magic: Grand Consul

Chapter 272 Vitality Bottle
The strongest swordsman had just finished his attack when the deceitful enchantress, who was not far away, immediately launched a bewitching attack.

Their arrows were quite peculiar; rather than being arrows, they were more like some kind of magical incantation. She lightly touched her lips with her hand, murmuring tender words that transformed into a red heart, reflecting the swordsman's image. Then, a demonic claw emerged from the void and gripped it tightly.

If it were an ordinary soldier, they would have the illusion that their heart had been ripped out, and they would be attracted to the succubus and become infatuated.

Let alone succubi, creatures whose appearance is inherently seductive, even if the person in front of them were a pig, they would still go into heat and become endlessly infatuated.

That state is like a simp licking the feet of a goddess, completely at her beck and call.

The enchanting enchantress completed her spell, smiling as she looked at the strongest swordsman, waiting for these burly men to become her subjects and fight each other to the death.

Warriors conquer the world, succubi conquer warriors.

This has always been their way of survival.

The strongest swordsmen stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then their eyes all turned to the Enchantress, and they were overjoyed. Could it be that the charm effect was so good this time?
However, what happened next was unexpected. The strongest swordsman showed a look of disgust, raised his broadsword and charged again, his target being this group of whimsical enchantresses.

During their training as fearless swordsmen, they had already become immune to mind magic. These alluring enchantresses before them were nothing but a pile of rotten flesh, and they held no interest in them whatsoever.

The only thing that could pique a swordsman's interest was to kill them and turn them into honor and military merit.

The merciless lightning struck again, and under the ring of swords, the Enchantress was instantly reduced to ashes, leaving not even a complete corpse behind.

Because the number of troops around Meiji was small, the blitzkrieg did not yield much success, only killing a few hundred three-headed demon hounds.

Grima was so shocked that he couldn't speak. This was the first time he had seen such a powerful army, which even had the ability to resist mind magic. How could anyone fight against them?
He immediately commanded his three-headed demon hounds to surround the enemy and launch an attack during the gaps in the strongest swordsman's skills. However, the effect was poor. The enemy seemed to be made of steel, and even though he had the special skills of his unit, he could not break through it. Instead, he was brutally beaten by the strongest swordsman's counterattack.

The two sides are not of the same level, so this battle is impossible to fight.

Grama stopped resisting and turned to run, only to find that someone was faster than him.

After the Evil God King was defeated, Tok had already approached the edge, preparing to escape.

Although he likes to boast, he is quick to back down when necessary. Despite the enemy having only 300 men, these few raids have already killed more than 3000 Hell troops, nearly half of their forces. If they continue fighting, they can only exchange a few dozen of their men for the enemy, and then their entire army will be wiped out.

Moreover, Su Mu possesses advanced earth elemental mastery and is highly likely to be reincarnated, meaning that these 300 strongest swordsmen are practically immortal.

If you don't run away now, how long will it take?
Tok only hoped that the other party's attention would be focused on Grimma; he should have known better than to shout so loudly.

The two heroes led the escape, and the hellish legion instantly crumbled and scattered.

Su Mu ignored the minions and pursued the Evil God King Hero Tok first. Tok actually had a component of the Holy Blood Vial, which was a pleasant surprise.

Originally, Su Mu had already sought to purchase this treasure through Raymond, willing to spend a large sum of money to complete the set of treasures.

After becoming an astrologer, Cedros has not engaged in magical training or warfare, not because he has lost his magical talent, but because his body is too weak to withstand the surge of magical power after his advancement.

If he wants to continue his cultivation, as far as Su Mu knows, there is only one treasure that can save him: the Sacred Blood Bottle.

The Holy Blood Vial provides a huge amount of health, giving heroes a continuous source of vitality and life, making it ideal for heroes like Sederlos who are low on health.

Seeing the strongest swordsman ignore everyone else and chase straight after him, Tok almost burst into tears.

"Please, Germa is the commander-in-chief, I'm just a laborer, what benefits could I possibly get!"

"I just cursed you a few times, why are you so petty? How can you be a hero if you're so narrow-minded!"

Tok was chased to the point of desperation, cursing and swearing, but he couldn't change the outcome.

The strongest swordsmen surrounded him, each slashing with their swords, and Tok quickly fell into a pool of blood.

He used all his strength to try and summon some fire demons for protection, but his raised arm was slashed away by the broadsword. The demons that had just appeared were reduced to ashes before they could even catch their breath.

The swordsmen retrieved the treasures from the shattered corpses and presented them to the lord.

【Venus of Vitality (Tier 3 Treasure): Increases the maximum health of all units by 2 (including Undead). One of the three components of the Divine Vial combination treasure.】

Review: A mysterious temple hidden in the bushes caught your eye. A vial of life-giving blood lay on the altar. You picked it up and turned to leave. The Vital Vial is a silver vial, surging with holy blood—or perhaps "holy" is an understatement, for its viscous blood is incredibly alluring. All living beings crave such powerful blood.

The origin of the blood in the bottle is unknown and remains a mystery. Su Mu suspects that it is either the essence blood condensed by the Abyss Lord or related to the legendary blood of the progenitor.

The reason no one has investigated this further is that the holy blood evaporates at an extremely rapid rate once it leaves the bottle, making the process irreversible even if the bottle is opened. Moreover, opening the bottle itself is very difficult, given that it is a level 3 treasure.

If I have time later, I might be able to study it in detail. Right now, the priority is to collect all the combined treasures and save Cedros's heroic path.

Tok's remaining treasures were damaged in the battle, and they looked like worthless items. It wasn't wrong for him to call himself a nobody.

Su Mu could accept this; after all, there was still a big fish to catch.

His gaze turned to Germa, only to find that the other man was nowhere to be seen.

The battlefield was filled with three-headed demonic hounds running wildly in all directions, creating utter chaos and dust that made it impossible to see anything clearly.

It's likely that Grimma used some special means to blend into the three-headed demon hound's party, hoping to escape in the chaos.

It must be said that while the devil of war is incompetent in fighting, he certainly has some clever tricks up his sleeve.

But it's no use.

Su Mu divided the strongest swordsmen into ten teams, which pursued all the enemies in different directions and carried out indiscriminate killing.

Using the strongest swordsman's ring strike ability, a single move can cut down a large group, leaving demonic hounds and evil spirits with nowhere to escape.

With the speed and logistics bonus of the strongest swordsman, no one could escape in the pursuit. Moreover, the area attack could effectively deal damage to groups of people. In just a few minutes, there were hardly any deserters left on the battlefield, all of them turned into minced meat and bones.

Among a scattered group of demons, several of the strongest swordsmen encountered some resistance.

An ordinary-looking horned demon single-handedly withstood the attacks of several of the strongest swordsmen and counterattacked with its thick shield, instantly killing the attackers.

Gelima was clever enough to hide in the least conspicuous group, but unfortunately he was still discovered.

He held a shield surrounded by crimson flames, which seemed more like dragon breath than magma.

After the flames subsided, the true form of the shield was finally revealed. Its sides were covered with sharp dragon teeth, and its main body was forged from dragon scales, exuding the power of the dragon race.

Although the treasure was valuable, he alone was powerless to reverse the situation. Su Mu raised his hand and cast a spell, resurrecting the strongest swordsman who had died in battle. Dozens of people rushed forward to attack Grima.

As expected of a war demon, his combat skills were quite proficient. He used his whip and shield to alternate between offense and defense, repelling wave after wave of attacks.

Unfortunately, the strongest swordsman gave him no time to breathe, relentlessly slashing until he was exhausted.

Grimma roared at Su Mu, "If you still have any chivalry, then fight me one-on-one! Let's settle this once and for all!"

Su Mu looked at the other person and found it rather amusing. When did demons start to value chivalry?

But he planned to give the enemy some time to think and slowly advance towards them, just not very fast.

When he slowly walked up to Grima, the War Demon was already riddled with sword wounds and lying on the ground, unable to even lift his shield.

As Gelima recalled the events of the past two weeks, it felt like a dream.

Having finally escaped the abyss, dreaming of establishing a hellish kingdom and achieving unparalleled dominance, all of that has come to naught.

Are you talking about this kind of one-on-one fight?

Su Mu raised the Titan's Greatsword and plunged it into Grimar's head, blasting the demon's entire body into the earth, giving him no chance.

Being verbose with the enemy is being cruel to yourself.

Su Mu never wastes words.
