A sorcerer? I am a Warhammer psyker.

He never stopped; his attention was always highly focused.

"coming!"

Suddenly his eyes narrowed.

"boom!"

A ferocious, blood-red shadow swept across the land at incredible speed, tearing through the air with every movement, causing it to groan in agony.

Xia Youjie immediately controlled several agile cursed spirits to intercept them, but it was still a bit slow.

Dozens of blood spikes, each over a hundred meters long, erupted from the rushing blood-red figure, shooting straight through the air with a piercing, suffocating sound.

Just watching these lines of blood shoot out is quite shocking, as if someone used a paintbrush to completely depict the color of blood in the sky, outlining perfect lines.

That's one of Xianming's techniques, belonging to the Kamo family, and it's quite impressive. However, compared to the many summoned level-one spirits, its power is somewhat lacking; it doesn't seem that formidable.

This time, Kenmei Isayama did not use ice-type abilities, but instead used the Crimson Blood Technique to fight against Natsuyu Jie.

With his ice-based abilities, Kenmei Isayama has already demonstrated quite excellent combat skills, being very well-rounded, but that power is just too overpowered.

If Kenmei Isayama were to summon Ai's pure white dragon and have it appear on the battlefield, that would be truly awe-inspiring.

If Xia Youjie didn't bring out his most treasured top-tier cursed spirits, he would be left with only a handful of minor first-tier cursed spirits.

They were utterly helpless against the terrifying frost dragon. No matter how strong or numerous the level one cursed spirits were, they would freeze solid under the dragon's blood-spitting attack and die in the terrifyingly low temperature.

Therefore, if ice-based spells were used, Xia Youjie might not fight him because he felt bad about the extremely high cost to a level one spell spirit. That's why Jianshan Xianming used the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique, which has lower attack power in all aspects compared to the Frosty Heart of Winter, to fight Xia Youjie.

We have to lure them in first before we can kill them.

Jie is clearly a very good whetstone, and the number of first-level cursed spirits in his [Spirit Manipulation Techniques] is unimaginable. Ever since I saw the battle between Xia You Jie and Gojo Satoru, Isayama Kenmei has been craving them for a long time.

He naturally wouldn't let go of such a legitimate opportunity to harvest these cursed spirits.

Each level 1 cursed spirit is equivalent to 10,000 points, which is quite a good deal.

"The technique for manipulating blood is called the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique."

Considering that no one in their school had used this number before, Moth Masamichi didn't keep the students in suspense when introducing it to them; he just said it directly.

【Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique】, isn't that a technique of the Kamo family, one of the three great families in the world of sorcery?

"Could it be that Senior Xianming is the next head of the Kamo family, who's been making headlines all over the place?"

Qi Haijian immediately thought of the trending topic that had been getting more and more heated and whose popularity was constantly increasing: Who exactly is Xianming?

"Okay, remember to keep it a secret."

"Night Moth Masamichi said in a calm tone..."

Most of the comments from the outside world were not positive, and they questioned what kind of merit Kenmei Isayama had to become the next head of the Kamo family.

"So that means he awakened two spells on his own?"

Logically speaking, it is already remarkable for a sorcerer to awaken one life-giving spell in their lifetime, and it is almost impossible for a second person to master a second life-giving spell.

But a scene that defies common sense appeared before their eyes.

"Great!"

Those spears, forged from blood, were unstoppable, piercing through the bodies of several level-one cursed spirits with a series of "thuds" and "splats," easily embedding themselves deep into the ground.

Despite its seemingly slender appearance, the Blood Spear possessed exceptional penetrating power, piercing through several level-one cursed spirits, leaving the audience in awe.

Was it really that easy?

Nanami Kento felt that Xia Youjie's curse did not seem to have caused any trouble for Isayama Kenmei; it couldn't even hinder his progress.

However, simply piercing the wound might not be enough to completely kill these level-one cursed spirits, because their vitality is strong, and injuries to vital parts of the body would normally cause them to...

They are even crazier.

How could Kenmei Isayama's techniques be as simple as they seem? They often contain a second effect that can only be activated if the target is hit.

However, the attacked spirits seemed to be in extreme pain, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Soon, blood splattered everywhere, and numerous blade-like objects emerged from each spirit's body, with the longest spikes protruding from their mouths.

The bright red crystals resemble sharp thorns and dying cursed spirits. These neatly strung high together give the impression of the famous medieval painting by the "Piercing Prince" of Wallachia.

【Blood Thorns】 is an application of 【Crimson Blood Manipulation】. It doesn't offer any other benefits; it's just flashy and looks a bit scary.

The truly effective predators were the several gigantic, blood-soaked beasts that were wreaking havoc. These monsters had peculiar appearances; each had three heads and six legs, and the heads resembled those of sheep. However, their mouths contained exceptionally sharp fangs, and their gaping jaws were large enough to bite a small car in two. Even if they were killed, they could immediately regenerate.

The destructive force generated by a foot landing can shatter hard granite and create a giant hole.

These things, which look remarkably like black goats, are about the height of a three- to five-story building. If they are made of blood, then... that's just too outrageous.

The people on the sidelines were numb; a single sentence simultaneously popped into their minds.

"That's the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique?"

Especially Yagami Masamichi, he's seen Kamo family sorcerers fight before, isn't it? Aren't the people of this family only able to use their own blood as a spell?

How can there be such an exaggerated amount of health?

That amount of blood would require killing at least several large animals weighing tens of tons to achieve, considering the total blood volume of a human body. It's simply impossible to reach that level. It would require at least several thousand, even tens of thousands of people.

However, Yagami Masamichi soon vaguely guessed why Isayama Kenmei would become the next head of the Kamo family.

The Kamo family's sorcerers cannot use their magical powers to conjure blood out of thin air, so they are in a very passive position.

Ke Jianshan Xianming acted like a nouveau riche throwing money around, completely disregarding the loss of blood.

It is likely that all this blood was created by Kenmei Isayama using his magical power. As long as his magical power does not run out, he can continuously produce blood.

That explains everything; why would the arrogant Kamo family rekindle their relationship?

They picked up this once abandoned, unwanted, and discarded seedling and made him the next head of their family.

If Masamichi Yagami's conjecture is true, then he may very well witness Kenmei Isayama become the most powerful head of the Kamo family, a family with a thousand-year history.

"Damn it, that guy Xianming."

Xia Youjie felt a large number of level-one curse spirits severing their connection with him at an extremely fast speed, and his heart ached as if it were bleeding.

This was a huge loss...

This sentence came to his mind.

The two effects of the Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique alone had already dismantled about 80% of the defenses that Xia Youjie had built.

That's equivalent to Isayama Kenmei killing 35 level-one cursed spirits; that efficiency is simply outrageous.

Xia Youjie immediately summoned a cursed spirit to block Jian Shan Xianming's path.

Unexpectedly, when faced with a roadblock, Kenmei Isayama simply raised his fist, and then swung it down like a cannonball rather than a punch, directly smashing it into a level one cursed spirit that resembled a beetle and whose body was covered in steel armor, indicating that its defense was at its maximum.

"Sizzle"

The sturdy armor ridiculously emitted the sound of shattering glass. What was this? Using brute force, a cursed spirit that normally required several level-one sorcerers to handle was reduced to mincemeat in less than a second.

Moreover, its immense destructive power remained undiminished, causing the entire land beneath it to shatter into pieces, with layers of broken rock slabs being lifted up, leaving behind a bottomless crater.

The shockwave kicked up dust that shot tens of meters into the sky.

The tremors felt underfoot were no different from those of an earthquake.

Kenmei Isayama landed cleanly and decisively, without the slightest delay, the spiritual energy in his hands dissipating. He had just killed this incredibly defensive cursed spirit with his bare hands. He used spiritual energy that had a special effect on cursed spirits. His punch, coated with spiritual energy, pierced directly through the cursed spirit's body.

"That bastard."

In contrast, Xia Youjie's small eyes were now fully open, and his bangs, which had been blown about by the wind, had fallen back down. He swallowed, looking utterly shocked.

"How am I supposed to win?"

Even in this state, Kenmei Isayama felt an even greater sense of powerlessness than when facing Satoru Gojo.

Xia Youjie even had the idea that no matter how many cursed spirits he summoned, they would only end up as someone else's meal.

The Cursed Spirits race is utterly powerless against Kenmei Isayama.

Suddenly, Xia Youjie's pupils contracted, because Isayama Kenmei had disappeared from his sight. At this moment, the battle-hardened Xia Youjie felt a sudden sense of deadly crisis, which made his heart jump.

The sound of air being torn apart exploded directly behind Xia Youjie, and the powerful airflow made his bangs whistle loudly.

Overwhelmed by a sense of crisis, Xia Youjie didn't hesitate and directly used the [Spirit Manipulation Technique] to summon a giant dragon of the same pure white color at point-blank range.

It was a rainbow dragon. This ferocious white dragon opened its mouth wide, trying to swallow the person who suddenly appeared behind it.

Isayama Kenmei naturally wouldn't let himself be swallowed up. The Rainbow Dragon's mouth was green, and its teeth were irregular.

But at that moment, a warrior constructed entirely of blood appeared almost instantly. He raised a giant sword made entirely of blood and slashed at the rainbow dragon, charging forward despite the dragon's attacks.

To the audience, this scene looked like a reenactment of the myth of Susanoo slaying Yamata no Orochi, wielding the Tengu sword to cut down the white serpent.

Xia Youjie originally wanted to summon other special-grade spirits again, but a huge fist appeared in his vision and kept getting bigger.

"If you can't escape, you'll die."

Xia Youjie's eyes widened as he felt death gripping his throat. The time, measured in microseconds, felt incredibly long.

But the fist stopped just five centimeters away from Xia Youjie and then lightly tapped his forehead.

It is Kenmei Isayama

"Jay, let's call it a day."

"Ah."

Xia Youjie replied

After he walked away, Xia Youjie sat down on the ground with a sigh of relief.

"A complete defeat..."

For a moment, Xia Youjie thought he was going to die; the fact that his back was completely soaked was the best proof of that.

In fact, Kenmei Isayama had always wanted to have some fun with Natsumi Yukichi, and today he finally got the chance.

Crimson Blood Manipulation Technique versus Cursed Spirit Manipulation Technique

Kenmei Isayama walked to the lounge and saw many missed calls on his phone.

"Why are you calling me so many times?"

Actual amount paid: 4900
