While the real-time health regeneration rate is still positive, as the fusion between the Blood Elemental Servant and the Blood Demon deepens, the rate of health loss increases rapidly, and casualties are only a matter of time.

The real-time health regeneration rate is still positive, but as the fusion between the Blood Elemental Servant and the Blood Demon deepens, the rate of health loss increases rapidly.

"Shazo, are you alright?" Rexor's voice echoed in Shazo's heart.

"It's alright, Master." Xia Zuo sat above the desk, holding a potion bottle in his left hand and the Life Alchemy Stone in his right. The alchemical dragon blood in the Blood Element Servant's body was ready, waiting to use medicine to restore the health of himself and the Blood Element Servant.

As a pureblood mage whose primary goal is to survive, he had already leveled up his blood spell [Blood Breath Pouch] to level 50. With 50 blood pouches that restore 2000 health per second ready to be used, he ensured his safety to the greatest extent possible.

Rexor continued, “The Church of the Otherworldly Demons must have discovered your Blood Element servants, which is exactly the blood magic they desperately need. These Blood Demons will fight tooth and nail to keep your Blood Element servants. You must not let them fuse with your Blood Element servants, otherwise you may reveal your Blood Rune characteristics, or the Blood Demons may gain knowledge of the blood magic you know.”

"Don't worry, Master. I have a way to deal with them." Xia Zuo took a deep breath and decided to use his ultimate weapon.

He brought up the list of blood magic spells, selected [Blood Curse], and poured in thousands of blood runes to upgrade the blood magic to level 30, bringing about a major qualitative change.

..

【Name】Blood Curse

[Level] lv.30

[Basic Effects]

Choose a bloodline mark as a target. Once this perk is activated, you will be able to cast a curse on that target from a distance.

[Upgrade Effect]

lv.10: You will no longer suffer the backlash of the blood curse.

lv.20: Increases the effect of Blood Curse by 100%.

Level 30: New effect: Chain Curse

Chain Curse: Select a target and apply a Blood Curse to it. All targets within a 500-meter radius of that target that are related by blood will suffer a 10% Blood Curse effect.

..

"Hehe." Xia Zuo chuckled. When he saw the new special effect [Chain Curse], he knew that he was bound to win this skirmish today.

As is well known, the bloodlines of the half-blood mages of the Church of the Otherworld are extremely mixed, with each having elements of the other.

Xia Zuo randomly selected a Blood Demon that was entangled with a Blood Element Servant and unleashed the [Curse of Decay] with a power of 150 points. A long string of cheat codes appeared in his mind.

"The host is casting [Curse of Decay] on Blood Demon No. 1, causing the target to lose 900 health points per second."

"Successfully triggered the [Chain Curse] effect. Unknown Blood Demon No. 2, No. 3, ..., No. 56 are affected by the Chain Curse and lose 90 HP per second."

Chain curses spread faster than plagues.

In the vision of the Blood Elemental servants, the blood demons that occasionally let out savage laughs and curses were instantly covered with pitch-black curse marks. The dark red blood mist covered by the curse marks was forcibly transformed into a physical form, peeled off the blood mist from the blood demons, fell to the ground, and quickly dissolved within the curse marks.

A piercing scream came from a corner of the battlefield.

The blood demon chosen by Xia Zuo as the lucky one was forced to break free of its blood mist form. It rolled around on the ground howling like a ghost, unable to shake off the cursed mark on its body. It could only watch helplessly as its blood demon body melted like wax.

What does a health deduction of up to 900 points per second mean?

Converted to hourly units, that's a health deduction rate of 324 million points per hour, which even Xia Zuo wouldn't be able to withstand for long.

This blood demon's vitality attribute value was only 6000 points. About ten seconds later, its blood demon body collapsed under the curse mark, and the blood essence stone was completely exposed.

Xia Zuo had no intention of letting it go.

The Blood Element Servant beside the Bloodstone dispelled its Blood Mist form and transformed into Rex's appearance. It drew the Blood Magic Longsword hanging on its back and gripped the hilt with both hands, unleashing a powerful horizontal sweep.

"Bang! Smash!"

The bloodstone was shattered by the hard and sharp blade, and the fragments scattered on the ground.

A large, pale green ball of light floated out from the shattered bloodstone.

"Damn it, how could I forget about that!" Xia Zuo exclaimed softly.

Before he could even close [Vitality Recovery], the blood-element servant had dutifully absorbed a small portion of the tender green light, completing its mission of recovering vitality…

Although the blood element servant only recovered a small amount of the tender green light orb, about one-tenth of the entire orb, the other blood demons still witnessed this scene, which was unprecedented for all the participants.

At this moment, the battlefield seemed to be paused. The blood demons entangled with the blood element servants froze and trembled in unison, as if they were afraid of something.

"Shazo, what happened?" Rexor's confused voice rang in my ears.

He and Serites did not participate in the battle. Shazo had them use [Blood Mist Form] to transform into two tiny clouds of blood mist and hide near the reefs close to the coastline.

"Uh...it's nothing...Master, I killed a Blood Demon, and it seems to have had a deterrent effect. The other Blood Demons look like they're about to run away."

As soon as Shazo finished answering Rexor's question, he saw the Blood Demons scrambling to separate from their Blood Elemental servants and then flying eastward without looking back, completely ignoring the Shadow Demons blocking the sea.

At this moment, Xia Zuo did not hesitate at all.

He selected the three fastest-flying blood demons, continuously casting [Blood Rage Casting] to accumulate a large amount of temporary power, and then used [Bloodline Curse] to cast several Curses of Decay with a power of 150 points each.

The spell's effect surprised Xia Zuo.

It seems he's encountered a bug again!

This...this chain curse effect can actually be stacked.

The three primary targets each triggered a chain curse with other blood demons, resulting in three chain curse effects on each blood demon. The primary targets even had four curse marks – one large and three small – resulting in a staggering rate of 1170 points per second of health loss.

Xia Zuo originally intended to leave as many as possible, but now that he has discovered the wonderful use of the chain curse, none of the blood demons will be able to escape.

He considered for a second, interrupted two of the bloodline curses, and then released them again. This time, he chose two [Slow Curse] with a power of 150 points each.

Once the chain curse is triggered, it's like applying a double group slow to all Blood Demons, instantly reducing their flight speed to that of a tortoise crawling.

At the same time, Xia Zuo brought up the list of Blood Elemental Minions, selected all the Blood Elemental Minions present like he was playing an RTS game, assigned them targets, and then issued the attack command.

The blood-element servants, which had been hovering near the coastline, took to the air, trailing bright red blood light as they pounced on the slowly flying blood demon.

The blood magic longsword in the blood servant's hand left his palm, hovered beside him, and split into several smaller blood magic shortswords.

The tip of the short sword was aimed at the fleeing Blood Demon's back. After a brief moment of charging, it shot out, creating a short burst of sword rain in the sky.

As the short sword collided with the Blood Demon, the Blood Demon, which was flying the fastest, had its body dissolved by the Curse of Decay. Its Blood Essence Stone shattered in the rain of swords, and a ball of tender green light floated out.

Since the nearest blood element servant was still tens of meters away, Xia Zuo could only watch as the ball of light was absorbed by the shriveled blood vessels and disappeared into mid-air.

This feeling of missing out on a huge amount of energy is unpleasant.

Fortunately, Xia Zuo switched to the Slow Curse in time. The Blood Elemental Minions recalled their short swords and continued to fire sword rain while chasing the Blood Demon. They quickly caught up with the enemy.

Xia Zuo had a sudden inspiration. He had his blood element servants transform into chain shapes, first binding their current targets, then extending a section of chain to hook onto the chains formed by other blood element servants. Finally, the chains contracted, dragging the bound blood demons together.

This series of operations was extremely effective. Whenever a Blood Demon's Blood Essence Stone was shattered, several Blood Essence Minions would gather around it, ready to devour its life force at any moment.

Miserable cries echoed within the encirclement of the Blood Essence Servants as they absorbed large chunks of life force, leaving only fragments of Blood Essence Stone drifting to the ground.

The battle began with the Blood Demon arrogantly merging with the Blood Elemental servants and ended with the Blood Elemental servants hunting down the Blood Demon; the entire process lasted only three to five minutes.

With Blood Demon dealt with, it's Shadow Demon's turn next, along with the Church assassins lurking in the shadows.

Xia Zuo looked at the sea surface where shadow energy was suspended. The figure of the Shadow Demon had already blended into the thick purple-black fog and was difficult to distinguish.

In this situation, it seems there is no other option but to forcefully break through the blockade.

Xia Zuo manipulated his Blood Element servants to condense into an octahedral crystal the size of a normal human. At the same time, he used his bloodline connection to speak to Rexor and the other person who were hiding, "Prepare to break out by force. I will envelop you with the Blood Element servants and send you to the other side. Beware of assassins."

Rexor and his companion climbed out from under the rocks, each carrying a pack on their backs containing the brains of the other infiltrators.

Two dark figures appeared out of thin air behind them. A vicious black dagger pierced through the boundary between the natural world and the dark chamber dimension, silently stabbing towards the seemingly unsuspecting bald man and the cold-faced man.

"Thud, thud." Two dull sounds, like knives striking wooden planks, rang out. The figure pierced by the black dagger blurred and transformed into two rough, blood-magic wooden stakes.

This was Xia Zuo's method of preventing assassin attacks. He had told Rexor and the other man in advance not to come out of the cover no matter what happened.

The two figures that climbed out of the reef at this moment were Blood Element servants in disguise.

The real Rexor and his companion are still hiding under other reefs.

When attacked, the Blood Element servants immediately launched a counterattack according to the methods Xia Zuo had set up in advance. They exploded with a bang, and blood droplets flew out, quickly constructing a blood magic cage in the surrounding space.

The church assassins were experienced and, missing their first strike, instantly vanished into the dark chamber dimension, transforming into black smoke as they passed through the blood magic cage's seal. They escaped before the cage closed and once again roamed the battlefield in pure shadow energy form, their presence only revealed by slightly distorted light and shadow.

Sigh...it's still a bit too slow...Xia Zuo shook his head helplessly and dismantled the blood magic cage that had just been set up.

Chapter 81 The Fat Sheep Fusion Demon

Before launching a breakout, we need to hurry up and do some preparatory work.

Xia Zuo manipulated his blood element servants to weave a thick blood magic shield, and three more thorny wheels appeared around the blood octahedron. This blood magic armor, made with [Blood Magic Attack and Defense], would rotate around the blood octahedron, rotating three times every second along the central axis, protecting the blood element octahedron in all directions.

The crimson octahedron lowered its height and hovered over a reef.

Rexor and his companion, carrying their packs, climbed out from under the reef and entered the octahedron.

The church assassins lurking nearby did not make a move, presumably fearing it was another trap set by Shazo.

It's a real shame that the bald guy and the cold-faced man are genuine this time.
