My stats are higher than yours!

Additional information: As the Blood Demon Armor grows, the life force it absorbs will also increase.

② Blood Curse: The Blood Demon Armor possesses a special spirituality, and the user cannot voluntarily remove it. However, the spirituality of the Blood Demon Armor will weaken after it has been thoroughly soaked in blood.

If Blood Demon Armor discovers it has been abandoned, it will trigger the [Blood Demon Curse].

[Blood Demon Curse]: The Blood Demon Armor will use the blood within the armor as a medium to cast a curse. The cursed unit will suffer 10 [instant death] judgments per second for one hour.

③ Blood Mourning: Blood Armor craves an eternal host. When it appears, it will automatically bind to the nearest high-quality unit as quickly as possible and actively enter the equipped state immediately.

If the host is killed by an enemy, the Blood Demon Armor will use the indiscriminate [Blood Demon Curse] on all targets within a very large surrounding area, exhausting all blood energy and automatically reducing its quality to Black Iron level.

④ Blood Protection: Blood Demon Armor is a special piece of equipment formed by combining the strongest blood with armor. When the user is injured, Blood Demon Armor will automatically release [Demonic Blood] at the wound site, keeping the wound in a [normal] state, allowing the user to fight normally.

If a disability occurs, the Blood Demon Armor will automatically generate a replacement limb using [Demonic Blood].

【Demonic Blood】 will protect wounds and damaged flesh. When injured, it will reduce damage by 10%-30%, depending on the type of injury.

If life force is injected into the area covered by [Demonic Blood], it will enter a [High-Speed ​​Regeneration] state.

[Demon Blood]: 0

Additional information: It can be replenished by consuming blood; the effect is better with the user's own blood.

⑤ Growth through Blood: The Blood Demon Armor can grow and improve its quality by consuming blood.

Brief introduction: It has had countless owners, but has never been truly owned by anyone.

"Growth-type...cursed equipment!"

Bai Shuodong grabbed the Blood Demon Armor without hesitation for even a second and immediately applied the [Disintegration Mark].

In an instant, he saw a vast battlefield stretching as far as the eye could see.

On the battlefield stood a general, stepping over countless corpses, constantly wielding his weapon to fight and slaying all the enemies around him, but the enemies around him surged towards him like a tide.

The general stood before the canyon, fighting alone against tens of thousands of troops for three days and three nights, with blood flowing like a river.

The enemy retreated.

His body gradually dried up.

But a faint smile remained on his face until he finally became a dried-up corpse.

Then, the armor stood up, sprouting limb armor and head armor made of blood.

It cradled its master's corpse, blood seeping from the gaps in the armor. It had no body, only embracing its former master, blood overflowing from the armor.

Then it started to rain.

Raindrops fell on the armor, dripping down the seams and onto the parched body, as if it were weeping.

The Blood Demon Armor was born from that time.

Initially, it was just a suit of armor that could absorb blood to grow, without any curse. However, after the war that lasted for three days and three nights, the death of its host made it feel that it had killed its original master, and it eventually gained the [Curse] trait.

...

"Whoo~"

Bai Shuodong finally breathed a sigh of relief. Only after having the right to destroy the [Blood Demon Armor] at any time did he begin to check its attributes with peace of mind.

Although this item is only of the Black Iron grade, cursed equipment is renowned, and even Black Iron grade items should not be taken lightly. Even if the equipment has good stats and won't actually be dismantled later, he's still willing to waste a slot to print the mark.

"Black Iron-grade armor with a defense of 12?"

"Infinite durability?"

"Holy crap, +2 points to all three attributes?"

Bai Shuodong's eyes lit up with increasing joy until he saw the introduction at the end.

I saw the thirst for blood.

Bai Shuodong finally fell silent.

He stared at the armor that had willingly donned its protective shell and roared, "Useless! You only absorb once an hour? How can you absorb so slowly? Who do you think you are? Hmm?"

Blood Demon Armor: ?

Bai Shuodong possesses the ability of [Adaptive Evolution]. Since the Blood Demon Armor absorbs life force, it can be considered as him consuming life force, thus passively increasing the speed of life force recovery.

If the Blood Demon Armor absorbs energy at a high enough frequency, it can continuously and passively increase the speed at which life force is restored, thereby triggering [Adaptive Evolution] and permanently increasing the speed at which life force is restored.

"Absorb! Absorb now! Absorb once every 10 minutes, no! Every 5 minutes! Absorb life force now!" Bai Shuodong shouted, looking at the armor on his body.

Having just been unleashed, the Blood Demon Armor hesitated for a moment, still somewhat bewildered, before finally absorbing the life force.

[Notification: A significant drop in vitality has been detected, triggering a short-term adaptation.]

[Note: Increased health regeneration speed]

"Ah~"

Bai Shuodong collapsed to the ground, feeling somewhat weak. 100 points of vitality seemed a bit too much for him. He glanced at his complete panel.

Vitality: 86/186

Psychic Power: 39/39

Power: 10.8

Agility: 6.1

Physical condition: 7.2

Spirit: 3.9

Most of my life force has been drained, and I feel really weak now.

Before equipping the Blood Demon Armor, Bai Shuodong only had 62 points of life force, which should not have been enough for the Blood Demon Armor to absorb even once. However, the armor first gave him life force and then absorbed his life force.

From this perspective, the Blood Demon Armor is actually quite good. If it were any other terrible cursed equipment, it would absorb 100 life force and kill the host on the spot.

really!

Applying the decomposition mark directly is the right thing to do!

There shouldn't be even a second of hesitation!

If I hesitate, I might die in the next second. Sometimes it's okay to save resources and avoid breaking down grids, but in critical moments, you absolutely cannot have the thought of saving resources.

Bai Shuodong was lucky this time, encountering a cursed equipment that wasn't too bad. Although it seemed like a waste of dismantling slots, it was actually a guarantee of safety.

Check out the skills that have been extracted!

Blood Demon Curse

Rank: First Rank

Quality: ★★★★★

Skill effect: Using blood as a medium, curses a designated unit, triggering 100 instant-death checks per second, lasting for one hour.

Usage Restriction: Once

This skill is very powerful; as long as you get the opponent's blood, you can target and kill one person. However, the problem is that it can only be used once, which is a huge waste compared to using equipment.

and many more...

Bai Shuodong took a closer look at the skill, and then at the equipment skill. He suddenly realized that the effects of the two [Blood Demon Curse] were different. The skill's [Blood Demon Curse] caused 100 [instant death] judgments per second, which was ten times stronger than the equipment's curse.

No wonder it can only be used once!

It seems this is the condensation of all the essence of the Blood Demon Armor into an ultimate curse!

In a sense, this conversion is actually a gain. 100 ordinary curses can kill at most 100 elites or leaders, while one ultimate curse might directly kill a king or even a hegemon.

The quality of the information revealed by the two sources is incomparable! The difference is enormous!

Wear it first!

Use this to boost your stats!

Relieved, Bai Shuodong finally took a closer look at the armor he was wearing.

The Blood Demon Armor has no ostentatious spikes or exaggerated demonic patterns; it is simply an old suit of armor that quietly absorbs life force.

The dark red armor surface, as if forged from countless wars, is stained with the blood of countless lives, settling into an almost blackish-brown color.

Bai Shuodong stared at him for a long time, and even had the feeling that it was looking at him too.

This doesn't seem to be an illusion.

The Blood Demon Armor does indeed possess spirituality and independent self-awareness, but its consciousness at this moment is neither strong nor clear.

This is a really good product!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: Arrival at Wolf Fang Fortress

The grain transport team entered a period of rest, but the rest period was not long.

Bai Shuodong knew very well that his squad didn't have much time to catch their breath. This was a plain, the perfect place for cavalry to charge and travel, and there was no terrain to cover them, making it very easy to be spotted.

If he were targeted by the Limestone tribe, he would be fine, but the grain transport team and grain carts would be in trouble. He couldn't take that risk.

Not only that...
