My health recovery is incredibly fast.

The emerald green wooden carving hanging on the submachine gun cast a beam of light.

"Clang clang!"

The blood whip was blocked by a magical barrier that suddenly appeared, producing a metallic clang.

Deng Ke arrived.

His pistol also spewed out a dragon of fire, but it was blocked by another dark red shield.

Lantot and Lisa were a little slower, and they also arrived at the center of the battlefield, unleashing fire dragons from different angles.

The Blood Addict barely held on amidst the four fire dragons, but could not resist Shazo's Curse of Decay. The dark red shield protecting his body gradually showed signs of melting and shrinking.

"Give it your all, guys!" Dunk flipped the switch on the gun, and the stream of fire shooting from the muzzle became even thicker.

"Roar!" The blood addict's wail was filled with hatred, and his burning body rapidly collapsed, as if gathering power.

The experienced Dunk yelled at his teammates, "Watch out, it's about to self-destruct!"

The group retreated steadily in unison.

Leonard stopped breathing fire and raised his hands to summon a magical shield to protect his companion.

Dunk pulled an alchemical bomb from his pocket, estimated the blast radius, and threw it at the Blood Addict.

"boom!!"

The alchemical bomb shattered the blood addict before he could self-destruct!

Large amounts of dark blood sprayed into the sky and then fell to the ground, dripping down in a filthy rain of blood mixed with entrails.

The battle lasted only about 3 minutes.

The performance of the 17th Action Team opened Xia Zuo's eyes.

Lanlot and Lisa restrain the enemy and strengthen their teammates.

Dunk used lightning ammunition to intercept the enemy, increased firepower, and commanded the entire field.

Leonard, with his strong defenses, was the first to approach the target, accurately firing to rescue civilians before using flames to suppress the enemy.

If this short combo, which can be completed in a few seconds, were to be performed solely through normal spellcasting without the aid of an energy weapon, it would be easy for spells to become disjointed.

The four worked together seamlessly, and even without the Curse of Decay, they could easily take down the Blood Addict without taking any damage.

After completing the introductory level of weapon alchemy, Xia Zuo's perspective has broadened considerably since he first arrived in Poseidon.

In the battle just now, the difference in combat effectiveness between non-combatants and combatants was obvious.

Leonard's flames, spewed from his elemental gun, had a power level of around 40, the highest among the four, which was related to his preference for fire magic.

Next is Captain Dunk, with approximately 30 points.

Lanlot and Lisa have 20 points and 10 points respectively.

Casting spells with elemental firearms will result in a loss of power, approximately 50%.

This means that even Lisa, whose fire elemental power is the lowest among the four, has at least 20 small fire elementals, not counting the other three elemental types she has accommodated to cast blessing spells.

Thinking of this, Xia Zuo glanced at his character template, which could only accommodate 24 elements…

The difference is truly enormous.

"Xia Zuo~"

After exchanging a few words with Dunk, Lisa waved and called out towards the carriage:

"Come lend a hand and clean up the road."

"Coming, coming!" Xia Zuo jumped off the carriage and jogged over.

He took the disinfectant airbag and, while spraying the mist, looked through the information on the Golden Finger.

Most of the damage was caused by Dunk's four companions and the alchemical bomb.

The reward of experience points is naturally not much, only 130 points.

But the new skill is delightful!

...

[Special Skill Name] Blood Breath Sac - Incomplete

[Special Skills Description]

This ability is incomplete; you can only use your own life force as a consumable, and the Blood Breath Sac can only be used on yourself.

[Special Effects]

Consumes 100 HP (self only) to create a Blood Breath Pouch that restores 20 HP.

You can only have a maximum of 10 Blood Breath Sacs.

...

Blood sac...isn't it just a blood bag?

Xia Zuo's eyes lit up!

So that's why the Converters are so resilient to damage!

No wonder it takes four full-fledged mages to kill a single Transformer or Blood Addict.

Only sufficient and sustained damage can suppress the healing abilities of the Converter and Blood Addict.

Then, with a burst of extremely high damage, they were instantly killed.

Hmm~ I'll start stocking up on blood packs when I get home tonight.

Now we have two vials of blood.

This is equivalent to giving away 20 stacks of the Bloodrage spell effect for free, which is equivalent to 20 points of curse spell power or 40 points of fireball power.

Ah, that feels so good!

Chapter 61 Pureblood Mage

While Xia Zuo and Lisa were spraying disinfectant mist, Dunke was also busy.

He put on poison-proof gloves and collected the remains of blood addicts scattered on the road.

These are similar to the waste of the Transformers, containing remnants of the Blood Demon's blood, and can be used to create tracking items.

The sound of sirens came from afar, and six police cars flashing red and blue lights stopped by the roadside.

After cleaning up the ground, Dunke went up to talk to the police officer.

Rexor and his companion have returned.

Their leather armor was stained with blood, black and stinking.

Xia Zuo used a disinfectant mist to clean them, and the leather armor immediately became clean, so that the carriage wouldn't get dirty.

Dunk walked over, handed over a metal box containing the remains of a blood addict, and said:

"Master, what do we do now? With these three blood addicts dead, the other blood addicts in the city will surely have heard the news."

“You’re right, Dunk.”

Rexol stuffed the metal box into his pocket and waved his hand dismissively. "Get in the car, guys. That's the end of today's patrol."

Xia Zuo returned to the carriage.

Rexol had him use his toxin sense to identify the remains of the three blood addicts, while he fiddled with the cipher ring for a bit.

Unsurprisingly.

The three rubble contained only the blood of Upharis and Utolius; the rest had been excreted.

The bald man leaned against the carriage wall, lost in thought for a moment, his eyes flashing with understanding, and slowly said:

"I know what's going on."

"The improved conversion ritual mixed more blood demon blood into the converted individuals. Different blood demons now shared common subordinates. This provided more alternatives for the initiation ritual of each blood demon and also ensured the continuation of their respective bloodlines."

"At the same time, the improved blood recovery spell can also ensure that we do not control the blood of other blood demons."

Rexor uttered a meaningful sigh:

"I never imagined that such changes would occur within the Church of the Otherworldly Demons during the more than ten years I spent in the Western Continent."

"If they manage to rescue the nine Blood Demons from the underground laboratory this time..."

"It might give rise to the fifth generation of Blood Mage."

The fifth generation? ...So the current Blood Mage is the fourth generation?

It seems that the names of the fourth-generation Blood Mages all consist of four syllables.

Xia Zuo checked the bloodline imprint stored in [Bloodline Sensing] and found that it was indeed so.

"Master, will the name of the fifth-generation Blood Mage have five syllables? Then will the name of the first-generation Blood Mage only have one syllable?"

Rexol shook his head and said:

"Only they themselves know how long the name of the fifth generation of blood mages will last."

"But the name of the first generation of blood mages, just like you thought, has only one syllable."

"We usually refer to them as the first generation of blood mages."

“Upharis and Utholes, each syllable of these two names is the name of a first-generation blood mage.”

Xia Zuo blinked and asked, "You just used 'they' instead of 'them' to refer to the first Blood Mage, right?"

"Yes."

Rexol nodded.

"The first generation of blood mages, also known as pureblood blood mages, pureblood mages, or blood sorcerers."

"They can only use their own blood as materials for spellcasting and alchemy. Their bodies have extraordinary regenerative abilities, long lifespans that are almost eternal, and exceptional talent for spellcasting."

Rexor stared at the stunned Shazo and recounted a long-forgotten history in a calm tone.
