This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 8 Replacement
Vitality can be replaced.

Blood transfusion, blood sucking, energy replacement... all are ways to replace life force. Some of these methods are easily achievable with human technology, while others are still far off.

But now, what science and technology cannot do, we turn to the supernatural!
Nie Weiyang held onto the side of the truck with one hand, tightly controlling the Ai in his arms as he sipped the anthropomorphic body's blood. Pain ripped through his chest, and his strength quickly drained away, leaving him struggling to hold himself steady. He could even feel Ai absorbing him, its long hairs burrowing into his organs like an all-pervasive grief, finally gathering at his heart. They tangled, weaving a web through his chest, draining every drop of blood within their path.

But at the same time, he could also feel new power entering his body - or rather, entering his stomach, entering his blood vessels, and merging into the power that sustained his life.

The blood was so warm, so blissfully warm. When it flowed into this body between life and death, it gave Nie Weiyang a strange illusion, a kind of bewitching illusion. Every time this happened, his appetite would briefly increase, and his body would relax slightly, a long-lost moment...

Almost all behaviors of life in nature revolve around the theme of "continuation of life", eating, drinking, killing, reproducing, climbing, competing for resources... everything is just for the continuation of life.

Behaviors like monsters devouring hearts and livers, ghosts devouring souls, and vampires siphoning fresh blood are precisely how creatures of darkness perpetuate their own existence. Ai's attempt to devour Nie Weiyang and anything that invades its domain is a manifestation of this behavior—even as a boss, what matters to its life is not blood, but the energy core that sustains its activities.

live.

Plunder enemy resources.

Make their lives...my life!
This was the instinct of players with vampire blood, but Nie Weiyang was even better. For some reason, his thirst for blood was always higher than other vampires, and dark impulses that were considered sinful to creatures of order flowed through his body.

He once starved himself to the brink of death because of his resistance to bloodsucking, but "New World" requires people to do things they don't want to do and become people they don't want to be. When he closed his eyes, he mistakenly thought that the torture was about to end, but the opposite happened.

When he opened his eyes again, the assassin Nie Weiyang found himself sitting among the innocent corpses on the ground, having lost his mind, with the heart-pounding smell of blood lingering in his nostrils.

"I swore to protect you..."

The warmth of the blood was comforting. With Ai's blood, Nie Weiyang's flesh and blood quickly regenerated. His strength gradually began to recover, and even the attributes on the panel slowly increased. Even the panel itself began to shake.

It's a tug-of-war, long and short, painful and fascinating.

Memories from that dark age surged deep within his mind, and his emotions assaulted Nie Weiyang's spirit with overwhelming force. The pain and despair were beyond words. Regret for the past, the uncertainty of the present, and worry about the future—they were ripped from the depths of his heart by the monstrous power of the seven emotions. The whip tried to rip his body apart, and the emotions tried to shred his soul. A voice echoed in Nie Weiyang's mind, countless voices echoed in his mind:

"Assassin!" "Dark creature!" "Murderer!" "Sinner!"

"sinner!"

"sinner!"

"sinner!"

Almost infinite voices resonated with the same name, Nie Weiyang's name:

"sinner!"

A sinner? Yes, a sinner. Nie Weiyang's thoughts were in a state of confusion. A murderer, a blood-sucking person, a person controlled by his bloodline to kill innocent people for his own selfish desires and obsessions, a hypocritical and conceited person, what else could he be if not a sinner? He should... should... I should...

should……

…The young man suddenly opened his scarlet eyes.

He gripped the long sword tightly in one hand and picked up the ordinary wooden shield with the other, raised it high, and smashed it down heavily!
'boom! ! ! ! ! '

Bones and blood splattered, and Ai's not-so-strong body shattered into pieces. A crystal ball-like bead flew out of it, bounced twice on the ground, and rolled away.

Nie Weiyang's body and face were covered in blood. He tilted his head back, hugged the strange and broken corpse, and was still kneeling on one knee on the ground, without breathing or any other movements.

After a while, he slowly lowered his head, opened his eyes again, and exhaled a breath of air filled with a strong smell of blood. Then he loosened his grip and slowly stood up. He was covered in wounds, his clothes torn, and his flesh and blood were wriggling and regenerating, pushing out long hair from his body and dropping it to the ground.

"Noisy." Nie Weiyang said calmly.

No red tape, no mercy.

In the dark zone, no stars could be seen, and the long night's silence was unsettling. The corpses on the ground gradually transformed into a black mist and dissipated. The young man raised his hand, and his powerful mental force brought back the bead from a nearby location. It landed in his hand, a soft light flowing through it, like a young girl's tear.

Several strands of long, jet-black hair flowed up like water, entwining with each other to form a small net bag. When the darkness of the dark area faded, these long hairs also lost their disguise and turned into the pale color of dark creatures.

[[Seven Emotions·Sorrow·Tears of Pearls]
Use the token to get rich rewards

It seems to be an important material for synthesizing something-
The simple white rope net, pulled by tears, becomes a tangible sorrow. --
"A needle cannot untie the knot of worry, nor can a thread thread through the tearful face."

"This thing has no face..." Nie Weiyang complained. On his body, black mist-like energy churned in his blood vessels, gradually being assimilated by the blood and blending into the red.

An illusion slowly emerged in the depths of his mind. It initially looked like "Ai", but under the interference of Nie Weiyang's powerful mental power, it began to become chaotic and unclear, and slowly separated into a black mist and a white light. The white light flowed in the black mist and turned into a badge with a long sword and a shield intersecting, and there was a dark shadow hidden underneath.

When it turns over, the sword and shield will turn into white light, and the shadow will turn into a dark dagger.

Above it was a line of text: [Leader-level Guardian Badge·???].

——Vampires are a race that is strongly related to legends and blood transmission. If players want to become stronger, they need to suck blood or increase the proportion of alien blood.

But Nie Weiyang was the strongest among the dark creature players in his previous life, but he never improved the purity of his bloodline.

Until his death, the proportion of his human blood was still 50%, which was the purest among humans in the late apocalypse.

Although if you think back to the state when he started to attack, where the corpses were spread out to form a two-meter-high ground, and he said that the person sitting on the hill in the middle was a "person", the corpses might not believe it.

In short, this is because he has mastered a skill.

A technique that few people can use and has a very high failure rate.

——By exchanging vitality with the BOSS, he can, within a short period of time, to a certain extent replace the BOSS's identity and obtain their authority, becoming the so-called 'leader-level guardian'!
This skill requires a lot to achieve, and if you are not careful you can end up killing yourself. In the hands of others, it is basically a fast track to suicide.

Why is Nie Weiyang so confident that he can do it?
Without him, only familiar with you!
