My health recovery is incredibly fast.

"Click, click..." The captain's communication ring beeped.

He glanced down at the contents and said in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen, this is an emergency. Let's make an exception and give her a quick death."

The elemental golem sighed silently, "Alright."

He put the green medicine back, took out a small glass bottle, and used a syringe to draw out the liquid.

"You're free now, think about something happy." A sharp needle was inserted into the neck of the figure on the bed, and the piston shaft was pushed.

The tormented figure closed his weary eyes with a barely perceptible smile.

Chapter 80 The Impact of 25,000 Points

"Thump...thump..."

The pristine white left arm began to throb like a heart, and something beneath the skin was striking the cyborg's outer shell.

The elemental golem pulled out the syringe and hid behind the guardian's protective barrier.

"Seal the windows," the captain said to the scouts, then raised his pistol and led everyone into the corridor. "Prepare for my command to use the heat ray to attack that arm."

The scouts built a solid stone wall at the window and ran toward the door.

"3, 2, 1!" The captain counted down a few times, and after his comrades were ready, he shouted, "Fire!"

"Buzz~~" Five blazing rays, condensed into a straight line, struck the strange left arm at the same time.

The beam of light shot out by the elemental puppet was incredibly hot; its golden-white flames were hotter and stronger than the fiery red beams of the other four.

The combatants use elemental firearms, while the elemental golems use shallow meditation to cast spells.

However, the difference in the method of casting spells is not the source of the difference in the power of spells.

Xia Zuo noticed that when the elemental puppet was casting a spell, a bright blood pattern appeared in each of its left and right pupils, as if it was deliberately showing that it was using blood magic to enhance the spell's effect.

The intention behind this is crystal clear... By openly using blood magic, they are essentially telling the Church of the Otherworldly Demons: I am a pureblood mage, come and get me!

Xia Zuo chuckled and shook his head, looking into the bedroom.

The pristine white left arm was instantly ignited by the intense heat rays, turning into a raging fireball, with black arm bones writhing within the flames.

"Roar!" With a roar, the black arm bones shattered, and a bloody shadow tore through the flames, charging towards the stone wall blocking the window despite the scorching rays.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Blood Shadow failed to smash through the wall, turned and rushed towards the door, crashing into the protective barrier while covered in thick blood.

The barrier shook violently, and the light of the spell flickered, alternating between light and shadow.

"Maintain the barrier, don't let it escape." The elemental golem raised its left hand, unleashing another blazing ray, its eyes flashing with a crimson light.

Two golden-white rays pushed the Blood Shadow two meters away, pressing him against the floor and pinning him firmly to the spot.

The guardian stopped firing, raised his hands, and channeled energy into the magical barrier, while the other three continued attacking the enemy.

Xia Zuo glanced at the blood addict who was half-squatting on the ground, using a blood shield to resist the rays.

It appears to be a relatively high-level existence within the blood addict class.

Its body is made of pure blood, so even if it is attacked, its appearance remains intact. The blood shield it summons is very stable in the golden-white rays and shows no signs of shrinking. It has plenty of extra power to launch a counterattack.

At this moment, crouching on the ground seems more like he is gathering strength for an attack.

The elemental golem also noticed this, "Watch out! This is a blood addict about to transform into an adult!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood addict pointed his right hand, hidden behind his back, at the stone wall, and a thick, dark red ray instantly pierced through the wall, leaving a circular gap.

The next second, the blood addict, like a rolled-up carpet, transformed into a long, bloody shadow and darted into the round hole with incredible speed, leaving the scorching rays behind.

The scouts removed the stone wall.

Everyone ran to the window and saw the blood-red figure rushing towards the outskirts of the city. The scythe-shaped blood-red weapon reaped the lives of several policemen and innocent passersby who tried to stop it. The figure jumped and leaped a few times on the road and disappeared at the end of the street.

Without a word, the elemental puppet transformed into a cloud of crimson blood mist and gave chase.

"Captain, he..." The scout stared dumbfounded at the blood mist that was flying faster than a car.

"Don't ask any more questions. Let it go." The captain waved his hand, turned around and looked at the bed. "Inspect the scene and take away all the poisons."

Servant No. 1 emerged from under the female team member's scarf and slowly flew towards the direction of the blood mist.

Xia Zuo lay on the bed, manipulating his servants with a very complicated expression.

He roughly understood why the Church of the Otherworldly Demons treated him as an elemental puppet, while mistaking the elemental puppets of Boris City for him…

Flight speed in blood mist form = [Blood Magic Power] = [Blood Pattern Quality / 3]

If this formula could also be applied to elemental golems...

The blood mist's flight speed of nearly 30 kilometers per hour means that the elemental golem's blood pattern quality is at least 90 or higher.

The quality of a bloodline is determined by the three attributes with the lowest values.

In other words, the vitality attribute of this elemental golem is likely to exceed expectations.

Xia Zuo controlled his No. 1 servant to follow behind the blood mist, but before he had drifted more than 20 meters away, he completely lost sight of the elemental golem and the blood addict.

The blood-pattern quality is exceptionally high; the elemental body is complete; and the blood-patterned pupils appear when blood magic is cast.

With all three factors present in one person, it's hard not to think he's a pure-blooded mage.

Look at the intense heat rays he released earlier...

Conservatively estimated, the base power, unaffected by blood magic, is at least 60 points, which means that the elemental golem contains as many as 60 small fire elementals.

If we also take into account the consumption of condensed elemental shells.

The temple has added nearly 300 adorable elementals to this elemental golem.

On the other hand, Xia Zuo, the main character...

A bloodline quality of less than 10 points, an elemental body without a single hair, eyes that show no change when casting blood magic, and a pitiful 24 points of spell power...

Living like a salted fish, having to obediently hand over surplus food every night... Where is the demeanor of an awakened bloodline power?

Even if you threw him directly in front of the Church of the Otherworld, he probably wouldn't be considered a pure-blooded mage.

Xia Zuo suddenly slapped his forehead, realizing something!

If he hadn't helped Anru exchange for a Master-level Elemental Bottle... he'd be roughly at the level of an Elemental Golem right now!

The Church of the Otherworldly Demons probably doesn't know about Anru'er's situation, because it all happened at Starry Night Academy, and Anru'er never had direct contact with the Otherworldly Demons...

So... it was actually because of that master-level elemental bottle that its presence was diminished, causing the Church of the Otherworld to make a mistake in its judgment?

I don't understand... I'll just leave it at that.

Xia Zuo covered his forehead, shaking his head with a wry smile.

He's actually quite curious about elemental golems, these alchemical creations.

It possesses complete autonomous intelligence and can also incorporate elemental and bloodline power, giving the impression of a highly expandable humanoid weapon.

Then the problem is coming.

Since elemental golems are so good, why not promote their widespread use to replace police, action teams, or even the military?

There must be a fatal flaw here that Xia Zuo is currently unaware of.

Well... it's not that I know nothing at all.

At the very least, elemental dissipation is a problem that orthodox mage schools absolutely cannot avoid.

Perhaps the probability of elemental golems exhibiting elemental dissipation is far greater than expected.

Servant No. 1 stood on the rooftop gazing towards the suburbs for a long time before Xia Zuo finally snapped out of his reverie, ending his thoughts and controlling Servant No. 1 to fly towards the action team's location.

Servant Number 1 arrived at the main entrance on the first floor of the building, hovering above everyone's heads to eavesdrop on the conversation below.

Xia Zuo had a general understanding of the current situation.

In Polis, there are a total of 55 eligible targets who are tourists or residents who arrived in or returned to the city within the past 7 days.

Tonight, the Ministry of Emergency Response for Category 3 Disasters will conduct a unified investigation and assessment.

Of the 55 targets, 15 were found to be equipped with alchemical implants, which concealed transmuters or blood addicts.

Thirteen of the fifteen enemies were killed on the spot, and only two escaped. One of them was the adult blood addict we just saw, and the other was also an adult blood addict.

After a moment's thought, Xia Zuo controlled Servant No. 1 to float back to the crime scene and activated the toxin sensor to examine every nook and cranny.

If we could find traces of blood addicts...

Oh?

There really is one?

The team turned the bedroom upside down, even lifting the bed frame, but a few tiny specks of blood-red powder still fell into the cracks in the floorboards.

Without toxin sensors, their presence would be completely undetectable.

From the perspective of Servant No. 1, the toxicity of these blood-red powders is rapidly dissipating, and they will become like ordinary dust in just a few minutes.

Xia Zuo cast a detection spell on the blood-red powder, and the result showed that it was a small piece of body debris from a blood addict, which should have been scattered when attacked by scorching rays.

He thought for a moment, then instructed his servant number 1 to contain one of the body fragments, and then activated [Flesh and Blood Control], attempting to have servant number 1 digest it.

The poison took effect on Servant Number 1, and Xia Zuo did not feel any discomfort.

Did the poison test go smoothly?

Xia Zuo looked at the status bar of Servant No. 1 with suspicion. As soon as he saw the long list of negative effects, he immediately stopped digesting, and the body debris fell out of Servant No. 1's body.

In just two seconds, minion number 1 lost 200 health points.

Thankfully, it stopped in time.

Information about the cheat system came to my mind.

Xia Zuo successfully obtained the bloodline mark of an adult blood addict—Uskas.

He activated [Bloodline Sense] and selected all existing bloodline imprints to see how the Church of the Otherworld would react to tonight's mass arrest.

The cunning and bloodthirsty Uphacas shouted in his ear:
