This isn't a souls-like game at all.

Ye Yiyi took a look at the spell description and was very satisfied.

As he would face the Lord of Holy Blood later, he temporarily put away his insect servants and put on poisonous smoke-transforming thorns.

This magic can not only attack in groups, focus fire, accumulate abnormal states, but also ignore defense and has extremely strong impact.

With so many advantages gathered in one, it is worthy of being the powerful magic that the insect magician has spent his entire life researching.

The combat skills he is currently proficient in include the Eagle Wing Knight's straight sword [Wind Wing Shelter], the Eagle Claw Knight's straight sword [Quenched Eagle Claws], the long sword's [Ready Stance], the Holy Blood Knight's straight sword [Blood Attachment], the Slave Hammer's [Continuous Hammering], and the light crossbow's [Shoulder Charge].

As for the shield-type [Storm Return] and [Solid Shield Guard], and the dagger-type [Quick Steps], Ye Yiyi has not yet used them to farm.

The former needs to use a shield, but he rarely uses it except for parrying.

The latter is a combat technique used for close combat and avoiding enemy attacks.

Ye Yiyi has Storm Stride as a top-tier alternative, so there is no need to brush it.

As for other weapons that do not meet the usage requirements, the combat skills that come with them cannot be obtained.

You can't even hold the weapon steadily, and you still want to use it to perform combat skills?

He called Eurost, who was wandering in the hall, but he brought him a strange-looking double-headed pickaxe.

"What is this? It's so heavy!"

Ye Yiyi took the double-headed pickaxe made of pure metal, with one end thick and the other end thin, but he almost couldn't hold it firmly and almost hit his foot.

"I found this in a box next to the conveyor belt," Eurost said with a smile. "I saw you like collecting weapons, so I brought it here for you."

Ye Yiyi took a look at the light curtain that jumped out and his eyes suddenly widened.

"This is no simple weapon!" He looked up at the old hunter with a look of surprise. "You're just going to give it to me like this?"

"This weapon, and the transformable spear you used earlier, were probably both found in ancient ruins, right?"

The old hunter smiled and said meaningfully, "I think you'll like this."

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome. I don't have any use for it anyway."

Ye Yiyi immediately carefully examined the light screen of the pickaxe.

【Flame Scar Pickaxe】

Requirements: Strength 35, Skill 10

Damage correction: Strength B, Skill D

Durability: 492/500

Skill cost: 30

Item Description: A special-shaped pickaxe that can dig and break heavy iron ore.

The first generation of stone-breaking tools used by Digging Skill Servants.

It can emit flames from the pickaxe at one end to crush hard ores.

It wasn't originally intended to be a weapon.

But it has a powerful power that ordinary cold weapons do not have.

Exclusive combat skill: Flame Cross

Overloads the weapon, causing it to eject a high-temperature jet that then slams into the ground.

The scorching flames will melt the rocks, forming flame trails that spread outward.

"This thing is so cool..."

Ye Yiyi swallowed and then checked the pickaxe.

The thin part of the pickaxe head is extremely sharp, while the thick part has four circular nozzles of the same size.

This should be the nozzle that can spray flames.

After all, it is a tool used to crush hard ores. Using it to chisel people is really an overreaction.

This thing is best used against enemies with strong defenses that cannot be harmed by sharp weapons.

For example, the beast of precious gems!

He happily put away his weapon, then stepped into the corridor and headed into the tower.

The interior of the tower is hollow, similar to the tower Ye Yiyi saw at the large smelter.

He looked down and found that deep below him was a huge reservoir.

On the wall of the passage leading to the reservoir, there was a huge metal mechanism embedded in it. He took a closer look and found that it was actually a waterwheel.

The surging bright red divine blood fell from the sky, driving the waterwheel to rotate, and then fell directly into the reservoir.

The old hunter also looked up and nodded.

"This is the mechanism used to transport metal ore from the lower levels to the upper levels. It looks very practical."

"I think it's a bit primitive..." Ye Yiyi scratched his head and looked up at the bright red blood flowing out of the big hole on his head.

"And is the Holy Blood Cult using the Lord of Holy Blood as motivation? This amount of bleeding is too scary."

"Perhaps it wasn't originally like this," Eurost pondered. "Considering the structure of the sewer channel, there should be other water circulation facilities here. In ancient times, there were no foreign gods in the border area who used bloodshed to provide power."

"Go up and have a look."

Going up the spiral staircase surrounding the large hole in the middle, it wasn't long before the two of them arrived at the huge metal platform in the middle of the tower.

The circular walls surrounding the platform were covered with giant metal pipes with a diameter of about ten meters, but at this time, those pipes were completely closed.

In the center of the platform is another water reservoir, covered with a layer of fine metal mesh that people can step on.

And under the metal net, Ye Yiyi saw the Lord of Holy Blood.

It was a white-haired man with only his upper body remaining and his lower body missing.

His hands were bound with several metal chains, and he was hung between the metal net and the water tank.

A huge amount of blood was now flowing out from his severed upper body and gathering into the reservoir.

"Grass……"

Ye Yiyi's expression was twisted into a ball, and she couldn't bear to look at it.

Eurost looked at the Lord of Holy Blood, who was once high and mighty but has now turned into a divine blood-making machine, and couldn't help but sigh.

"That should be the Lord of Holy Blood."

　Group Chat IX "How miserable..."

Ye Yiyi walked to the wire mesh and looked down at the white-haired man below.

"Brother, are you still alive? If you are, make a sound."

Hearing the voice, the Lord of Holy Blood slowly raised his head, revealing an extremely handsome face.

Ye Yiyi was stunned. This face was so beautiful. Not only was it difficult to tell whether it was androgynous, but it also had both the masculinity of a man and the femininity of a woman. It was even more beautiful than the face he had spent more than an hour sculpting.

This was the most beautiful face he had ever seen since he came to the border.

Of course...the saint is wearing a veil, so she is not included in the evaluation.

At this moment, the Lord of Holy Blood slowly opened his eyes, looked up with his lifeless bright red pupils, and looked into Ye Yiyi's eyes.

He just stared blankly, without saying a word, and without any expression on his face.

Ye Yiyi stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, but He didn't react at all.

"What the hell?"

He was a little confused and glanced at the light screen. Seeing that it had no intention of jumping out of the blood bar, he turned his head to look at the old hunter.

"Why doesn't this guy react at all? Is he dead or not?"

"Dead, but not dead." Eurost gave a very philosophical answer.

"What do you mean?" Ye Yiyi was stunned.

"His sanity has vanished along with his divinity, and what remains here is only a living corpse.

"But even so, He is still the Lord of Holy Blood, a god who has not yet died."

"Uh..." Ye Yiyi's expression froze, and then he said:

"You mean, if we were to kill him, he wouldn't resist?"

"If he had been able to resist, he wouldn't be imprisoned here." Eurost shook his head. "Killing him is easy, but that's just the beginning."

"What do you mean?"

“I’m not very clear about the specific circumstances, because I have never witnessed the death of a god before.

"According to the information left behind by the church, the death of a god is often accompanied by terrifying visions. This is why those cults that attempt to conduct the ascension ceremony only imprison the gods instead of killing them."

"I understand. It's just another form of boss battle anyway."

"What?" Orost looked over in confusion.

"No, nothing... Then what did you do with the gods who didn't die?"

"Throw them away..." The old hunter's eyes wandered.

"What?"

"A big deep pit."

"..." Ye Yiyi's face suddenly turned black.

The Great Pit leads to Hell, which is located deep underground. It is the location of the foundry and the place where the Mother Box of All Things, the incarnation of the ingenious machine, sleeps.

"In your eyes, the big deep pit is a trash can?" he couldn't help but say.

"This is not a decision I can influence." The old hunter shook his head helplessly.

"alright."

Ye Yiyi sighed, he looked around and found an opening in the barbed wire not far away.

He ran over, trying to find a way to bring the upper body of the Lord of Holy Blood from under the barbed wire to the top.

Although only the upper body is left, the Lord of Holy Blood, as a god, is still taller than Ye Yiyi.

In addition, a huge amount of blood was constantly gushing out from His waist.

"What's with this blood?" He wiped his bloody face with a confused expression.

The amount of bleeding was outrageous. The entire upper drainage pipe was filled with His blood.

"That is the power of the divine body. He is a god after all, different from humans." Eurost replied.

"Okay, let's get some blood first."

He put the dung beetle aside, then crouched nearby and cut the god's skin with a silver-cast iron throwing knife.

Then he was shot in the face by a stream of divine blood.

"???"

His expression darkened, blood smeared on his face, and he simply reached in and grabbed the heart.

A stream of glowing red blood suddenly shot out from the wound into the sky.

"That's the one!"

Hearing Eurost's voice, Ye Yiyi quickly took out a clay pot and caught the glowing blood from his heart.

"Is that all right?"

Looking at the wound on the Lord of Holy Blood's chest that was gradually closing, Ye Yiyi looked at the old hunter.

"okay."

"That's good."

After putting away the clay pot and handing the dung beetle to the old hunter for care, Ye Yiyi took out the Pure Divine Blood Greatsword.

Let this greatsword born from divine blood send the Lord of Holy Blood on his final journey!

He held the greatsword in both hands, and after the Yinling Umbrella Emu O Seventh Master (Eight) Spirit*Dream, he stabbed it heavily into the chest of the Lord of Holy Blood!
