My health recovery is incredibly fast.

After entering the Blood Octahedron, Rexor looked to the east but couldn't see the Blood Demon at all. He then asked Shazo, "Did you take care of the Blood Demon?"

“Yes,” Xia Zuo said frankly.

"Those are over 30 Blood Demons!?" Rexor was utterly shocked. "Do you possess blood magic specifically designed to counter Blood Demons?"

“Yes, it’s the blood curse you gave me before you took me to the snowfield to slay the dragon,” Xia Zuo replied.

“Blood Curse?” Rexor sat inside the crimson octahedron, rubbing his bald head. “Is this blood magic really that powerful? It can wipe out so many blood demons at once... This is something that would require a 30-man temple team to do.”

“He must be hiding other secrets, Letho,” Serites interjected. “This guy has a way to turn humans into blood mages, so there must be other secrets, hmph.”

After being transformed into a blood relative by Shazo, Serites felt conflicted...

On one hand, he is a member of the Demon Hunter school and must maintain independence and impartiality among the various schools. Becoming a Blood Mage means that he will have to consider the pureblood mage faction more in the future.

On the other hand, he and Rexor had already reached an agreement and were both mentally prepared to die, but they never expected that Shazo would interfere and interrupt their heroic sacrifice, making things somewhat awkward.

Xia Zuo ignored Ceretus's conflicted state of mind and casually explained, "I think the blood curse is very useful, so I spent more time studying it."

Before Rexor could ask any further questions, Shazo spoke first, "Gentlemen, hold on tight. I'm about to start my breakout."

Rexor and Ceres glanced at the black mist directly in front of the octahedron and swallowed back what they wanted to say.

Xia Zuo's strategy for breaking through can be summed up in one word: charge.

Use the Crimson Octahedron to counter the erosion of Shadow Energy and the attacks of the Church Assassins, use the Time Sands spatial coordinates of the Time Sands Vision to guide your direction, and use a large number of recovery potions and health packs to replenish your health in a timely manner.

Facing the black fog on the sea, Xia Zuo focused intently on controlling the crimson octahedron to increase its flight speed and plunged into the thick fog.

The moment it came into contact with the black mist, the crimson octahedron's flight speed immediately decreased, becoming even slower than walking in a muddy swamp. The black mist that filled the surrounding space was thick and extremely sticky, making it very difficult for the crimson octahedron to fly through it.

Xia Zuo activated the Time Sand Vision.

The Sands of Time, located on the edge of the magic-free field, are like a mental patient with intermittent episodes of illness.

One second the Sands of Time were neatly staying near the designated spatial coordinates, the next second they were running around like madmen.

The characteristics 1 and 2 of the Energy Center of the Church of the Otherworld clearly state that the energy source of the Energy Center is the reaction force caused by the Sands of Time on the force field when the force field constrains the Sands of Time.

The chaotic state of the Sands of Time inevitably leads to an extremely unstable anti-magic field around them.

Xia Zuo understood this principle very well.

As he piloted the crimson octahedron, he consciously avoided the chaotic sands of time.

"Bang! Bang!" Two sudden, loud noises startled Xia Zuo, who was highly focused.

The blood octahedron's blood volume has clearly decreased, and two obvious cracks have appeared on its shell.

Xia Zuo checked the information on his cheat system and found that the attack was caused by the persistent church assassins. It seemed that the three Thorn Wheels could not completely stop the sneak attack.

Xia Zuo glanced at the surroundings of the blood-red octahedron. It was pitch black, with not a single ray of light in sight, making it impossible to discover the church assassins lurking in the shadows beforehand.

Rexor's gaze fell on the cracks in the octahedral shell, and he said in a calm tone, "Shadow Fiend's Shadow Veil and the Church Assassin's Shadowstep are a perfect match, Shazo. You must eliminate one of them. Otherwise, the Church Assassins' next attack will be even more ferocious."

Rexor pointed to the sky. "Go up, over the Shadow Veil. The anti-magic field is more unstable at higher altitudes, but I've noticed you seem to be able to detect instability in the anti-magic field beforehand, and there haven't been any spell interruptions, so you should be fine going up there."

Xia Zuo immediately changed the direction of the crimson octahedron and climbed straight up. After several minutes, he finally reached the top of the black mist.

The crimson octahedron hovered two or three meters above the black mist, slowly and meandering towards the opposite bank. Behind it, two sneaky figures, like crocodiles lurking in the river, followed their prey closely.

We've covered half the distance.

At this moment, the crimson octahedron was directly above the black mist, about two or three thousand meters away from the opposite bank.

At this rate, it won't be difficult for the Crimson Octahedron to successfully cross the sea.

The Church of the Otherworldly Demons clearly did not want to see this outcome.

Sometime later, the two church assassins who had been following the Crimson Octahedron disappeared. Except for the black mist directly beneath the Crimson Octahedron, the black mist in other areas also vanished, and the Shadow Demons in those areas disappeared without a trace.

Rexor's expression turned grave as he warned, "Be vigilant, Shazo. I have a bad feeling; the Church of the Otherworldly Demons is about to deploy the Fusion Demons."

"What demon?" Xia Zuo was taken aback.

“A Fusion Demon. A powerful Otherworldly being that sounds a lot like a Multi-Functional Aberration, but is very different from an Aberration.” Rexor said, keeping a close eye on his surroundings.

"Aberrant variants are organisms that, after consuming another organism, transform into that organism's appearance."

"The fusion demon, on the other hand, takes certain internal organs, physiological structures, or mutated structures of a living organism and transplants them into its own body."

"A variant can only transform into one type of organism at a time."

"But a fusion demon can possess the organs and abilities of many different creatures at the same time."

“Ha, just what I said came true.” Serites pointed to the side and behind, “Look there, the Fusion Demon is coming.”

Xia Zuo looked in the direction Serites was pointing, and then frowned.

A gigantic monster with an ugly appearance and deformed body was flapping its two huge fleshy wings and flying through the air, rapidly approaching the crimson octahedron. From a distance, it looked a lot like a winged porcupine...

Rexor squinted as he gazed into the distance, muttering to himself:

"Hmm... let me take a look..."

"This fused demon has purplish-black down on its limbs, which is a sign that it has fused with a shadow demon and can spew out shadow energy at any time."

"At the end of its tail are two opposite transparent spikes, which should have been formed after merging with the church assassins. This tail can extend freely, and when combined with shadow teleportation, it can appear anywhere with shadow energy to launch a sneak attack from a tricky angle."

"See that crack right in the middle of its chest? That's not a wound, but rather the result of fusion with some kind of mutated monster. It might even be hiding some insidious contraption like a breech-loading cannon..."

“That’s the mutated mouth of the Spiral Poison Toad,” Serites continued. “I’m sure it is. I still remember how disgusting that thing was. When it opened its mouth, it would extend a cone-shaped cavity cannon with spiral patterns, firing sour, slimy bullets.”

Serites continued, "I also saw another disgusting mutation, right on the back of this fusion demon, at the base of its wings. There were many honeycomb-like skin patterns there."

“I saw it too, that’s a breeding ground for carrion flies,” Rexol said. “Underneath each small piece of honeycomb skin, there’s a swarm of putrid greenbottle flies. They fly incredibly fast, are tiny, and spray a foul, acidic liquid that’s impossible to avoid. The smell of the liquid attracts the flies from afar, serving as a way to continuously track their target.”

The two demon hunters took turns analyzing the fusion demon not far away.

Xia Zuo jotted down the key points in his notebook and then asked, "So what should I do? He sounds like a very difficult guy."

“There’s no good way.” Rexol shook his head. “This thing’s bones, skin, and muscles have definitely been greatly enhanced, and it’s fused with many top-tier monsters. Your blood magic projectiles alone will hardly be able to break through its defenses.”

Serites added, "Its size is about the same as a two-story stone house, but its evasive ability is superb. The shadow energy that shoots out from its limbs can propel its body through areas with a high concentration of shadow energy, allowing it to quickly evade most attacks. It's difficult for you to hit it."

"Then we have no choice but to run away quickly." Xia Zuo barely managed to increase the flight speed of the crimson octahedron, but there were too many unstable areas in the anti-magic field at high altitudes, so the overall flight speed could only be increased to a limited extent.

Seeing the fusion demon closing in behind him, Rexor snapped his fingers and said:

"However, it's not entirely impossible. After fusing with so many demons and alien demons, if the Fusion Demon wants to maintain this high level of combat capability at all times, it needs a powerful fusion core."

"Coincidentally, fusion cores are generally made using powerful blood demons. Only the vitality of a blood demon's body can satisfy the needs of a fusion demon."

Xia Zuo's lips twitched. So the two of them were trying to find out his secret to defeating more than thirty blood demons in such a short time. "So, Master, you mean that I can defeat the Fusion Demon as long as I destroy its fusion core, right?"

“That’s right.” Rexor nodded and sighed. “But this is much harder than defeating the Blood Demon. Even I might not be able to break its fusion core.”

“Yes, it’s difficult for me too.” Serites shook his head, looking troubled.

"Aren't these two acting a bit too exaggerated?" Xia Zuo thought to himself. Then, he separated several blood element servants from the blood octahedron and made them form a small blood tetrahedron that flew toward the fusion demon.

Xia Zuo had carefully considered his decision before choosing to reveal that his bloodline curse was different from others.

The current situation is on the eve of a full-scale confrontation between the Temple and the Church of the Otherworldly Demons. If nothing unexpected happens, the Temple will mobilize and gather all its forces to deal with the army of Otherworldly Demons.

In this special situation, some things don't need to be taken so seriously; we can wait until after the great battle is won before considering them.

Questions like why Xia Zuo's bloodline curse is so powerful will not receive much attention at this juncture.

Based on this speculation, Xia Zuo chose to expose some of his secrets.

The crimson tetrahedron blocked the path of the fusion demon as it approached the crimson octahedron, and unsurprisingly, it was attacked by the fusion demon.

The honeycomb-like skin on the back of the fused demon flipped open to the outside, and a dozen swarms of green, decaying flies flew out, flapping their almost transparent light green wings and noisily swirling around the blood-red tetrahedron.

These decaying flies' ability to fly comes from their wings, not from magic, and the acidic liquid they spray is also not a magical creation, so they are completely unaffected by the instability of the anti-magic field.

The decaying flies sprayed dark green liquid around the blood-red tetrahedron, and soon many pitted marks appeared on the tetrahedron's shell.

Xia Zuo manipulated the tetrahedron to symbolically resist, using the two chains extending from the tetrahedron to sweep away the surrounding rotting flies, patiently waiting for the fusion demon to come and devour the tetrahedron.

Two conclusions can be drawn from Rexol's words.

First, the fusion of demons requires the support of a living body. Second, the fusion core is located deep within the fusion demon's body.

After careful consideration, Xia Zuo gave the blood-red tetrahedron used as bait over 100 points of vitality attribute value and removed its blood-pattern disguise, making it incredibly alluring in the eyes of the fusion demon.

Sure enough, as the Fusion Demon flew to the edge of the Crimson Tetrahedron, a slit opened in its flat, scallop-like head. Between two rows of sharp teeth, a scarlet tongue covered in barbs emerged from its mouth and swept across its body, engulfing the Crimson Tetrahedron.

The crimson tetrahedron's perspective was plunged into darkness. After a series of swallowing and wriggling sounds, Xia Zuo received a message from his cheat system, reminding him that he had obtained the bloodline marks of 12 blood demons.

Xia Zuo waited a few seconds, and after confirming that he had not obtained any more bloodline marks, he dispelled the crimson tetrahedron in the fused demon body, and then cast the [Bloodline Curse] on the 12 bloodline marks.

This time, he aimed for a fatal blow.

Xia Zuo used more than a dozen blood packs in succession and released three Curses of Decay with a power of 200 points each.

The fusion demon's flight was instantly halted.

It seemed to have some intelligence, but not much. It stood there dumbfounded, looking down at its own abdomen.

A dozen or so fleshy lumps throbbed on the brown skin of his abdomen, as if something wanted to burst out of his body.

Xia Zuo didn't look at it for long, but instead accelerated the crimson octahedron to fly towards the other side.

Five or six seconds later, a loud explosion came from behind.

Xia Zuo glanced at it and saw a scene of carnage, with large pieces of internal organs scattered on the sea surface, and more than a dozen alien demons howling miserably as they fell helplessly through the air like fallen leaves.

A message about a cheat code appeared in my mind.

"The host has successfully killed the Fusion Demon, and has been rewarded with 19690 experience points and 15 vitality attribute points."

! !

Nearly 2 experience points reward!

This fusion demon is a real easy target.

If I could have the chance to harvest fusion demons on the front lines in the future, I could probably level up more than ten times in a small battle! ...Xia Zuo's heart was filled with excitement.
