My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Does someone with a blood essence stone have the leisure to climb stairs?!

Obviously not!

Xia Zuo immediately hid in the corner of the wall outside the elevator lobby and deactivated his anti-magic shield to avoid attracting the attention of the Bloodstone with the magical light.

"Hurry, Kuarouchi! I can't hold on any longer!" The high-ranking blood demon roared in his ear, his voice tinged with despair.

Xia Zuo glanced quietly at the elevator shaft.

The Bloodstone happened to pass by here.

The paralyzed Martial Elemental Minions are completely unresponsive to the enemy.

There were two strands of red sand beside the bloodstone.

One strand swirled around it, while another strand of red sand carried the bloodstone upwards.

Should we stop the bloodstone?

Once the idea took hold, it became unstoppable.

Xia Zuo cast a detection spell on the blood essence stone that was about to drift away.

Thanks to the [Blood Pattern Language], he is no longer completely ignorant about Blood Essence Stones.

..

[HP] 50/? ? ? (Blood Demon's body severely damaged)

..

Only 50 HP?

Damn it!

Otherwise, your free attribute points and life alchemy stones will just sit there and get moldy!

Xia Zuo transformed into human form, hid around the corner, and raised his hand to cast the Curse of Decay on the Bloodstone.

Fireball or Curse of Decay, which is better to use?

Xia Zuo chose the latter without hesitation.

First, the spells that Bloodstone can control are unknown.

If it happens to deflect projectiles or other protective spells, then Shazo will have to enjoy his fireball spell.

Second.

Once the curse is cast, the spell will remain active without the user needing to see the target.

Xia Zuo is currently hiding around the corner; if he shrinks even further into the corner, he can cast his spell in a sneaky manner.

but..

Xia Zuo underestimated the reaction speed of the Bloodstone.

The curse mark appeared on the blood-red diamond a tenth of a second later.

Bloodstone immediately sensed the source of the curse.

The red sand drifting around it transformed into blood arrows that shot towards Xia Zuo, but it itself continued to swim upwards.

"puff!"

The arrow of blood pierced Xia Zuo's left forearm, and the spell was interrupted by the excruciating pain!

Health points reduced by 25!

The blood arrow, carrying his blood, fell to the ground and turned into a pool of blood.

Xia Zuo covered the wound on his left arm with his right hand and glanced at his health bar.

..

[Health Points] 181/210 (Mild poisoning, mild bleeding)

Mild bleeding: 5 points of blood are lost per minute.

..

The real-time health regeneration rate has consistently been negative, and the wound on my arm hasn't healed...

For the first time, Xia Zuo realized that battle was truly dangerous!

At the same time, he also realized that he was containing far too few elements.

In order to maximize the effect of the curse spell, he had used all his elements on the Curse of Decay.

There are no extra elements to cast Aura Shield to deflect projectiles, or Stone Skin armor to protect against physical attacks.

That's when the arrow of blood pierced his left arm, leaving a bloody hole.

It's alright, losing a little blood is nothing.

Xia Zuo glanced at the blood on the ground, gasped a few times, and leaned against the wall to reach the elevator. He pulled open the iron gate of the lobby door with his right hand and cast the Curse of Decay again. His left arm, bleeding profusely, hung limply at his side.

"What did you say, Kwaro Wuqi! There's a curse mage too??" The high-ranking blood demon roared in his ear.

Xia Zuo stared intently at the Bloodstone, the curse mark firmly imprinted on the blood-red diamond.

Without the red sand floating around him, the Bloodstone was just a punching bag!

I drank a potion tonight that enhances the effects of curse spells.

At this point, the base damage of the Curse of Decay is as high as 10 points per minute.

Even with the reduced resistance from Bloodstone, it still has 5 points per minute!

If you persist for just 10 minutes, you can completely eliminate the bloodstone here.

Wait, something's not right.

We want the secrets hidden in the Bloodstone.

We must seal it away.

It's not about destroying it!

Xia Zuo was taken aback.

The spell was switched, changing from Decay Curse to Slow Curse, which reduces movement speed.

After being tainted by the Slowing Curse, the Bloodstone's upward movement speed noticeably decreased.

"No, no, no! Quarovich! I have to run for my life! You should destroy yourself!"

The high-ranking blood demon's voice suddenly became fluent.

The surrounding blood-red aura vanished instantly, and the crimson world returned to its original color.

The red sand supporting the bloodstone began to crumble, and drops of blood continued to fall.

With the blood marks no longer polluting his body, Xia Zuo's real-time health regeneration rate increased, but it was still negative.

He hesitated for a moment, then used a rudimentary alchemy stone to take a small dose of a healing potion that would restore his health slightly. He was careful not to let it fully heal, or the wound on his arm would heal completely.

Bloodstone seemed to know it couldn't escape, so it turned around and flew towards Xia Zuo, barely managing to condense a blood arrow using the half-wisp of red sand that was holding it back.

Xia Zuo dodged to the wall, and the next second, a blood arrow shot onto the floor.

He peered into the well, and bloodstones fell down like pebbles.

Xia Zuo used his Wind Hand to grab the Bloodstone and threw it into a corner of the elevator lobby.

Bloodstone itself doesn't seem to have any offensive capabilities.

Most spells require the Blood Demon's body to be cast.

Now, without its blood demon body, it can only lie in a corner waiting to be sealed away.

Or, self-destruct.

Xia Zuo cast a detection spell with a gloomy expression.

-10

-10

-10

The Bloodstone is self-destructing, causing rapid health loss.

Xia Zuo didn't even have time to prick his finger to give it a blood transfusion to save its life...

Click click click...

With a slight cracking sound, several cracks appeared on the surface of the bloodstone, the red light inside disappeared, and the bloodstone shattered into powder.

Information about the cheat system came to my mind.

Xia Zuo knew he had gained a new skill, but he couldn't be happy. He stared at the broken pieces on the ground with a complicated expression, his eyes filled with regret.

He's somewhat obsessive-compulsive when it comes to completing tasks.

The best outcome for the experience reward is to leave the Bloodstone behind, rather than destroying it or letting it self-destruct.

Now we have to settle for second best and prevent it from escaping.

Chapter 55 [Blood Rage Spellcasting]

Xia Zuo suppressed his helplessness, slumped down against the wall, and pulled a bundle of medical bandages from his alchemy pouch.

He spread the bandage on the ground, sprinkled hemostatic powder on it, and then used his right hand and teeth to wrap the bandage around the wound on his left arm.

The mild bleeding turned into slight bleeding.

The real-time health regeneration rate has been increased to -0.05 points/minute.

It just keeps the wound from healing completely.

Actually... it might be fine once your health is fully restored.

I previously acquired a special ability called "Flesh and Blood Manipulation," which might be useful for creating wounds...
