448 The Fight Between the Sandpiper and the Clam (1/2)
Royce furrowed his brows. The order from above had been not to kill Merle instantly but to capture and bring her back alive. Only if he couldn't capture her and she would otherwise end up in the hands of other influences should he kill her.
”Royce, we don't have any other options,” Henry reminded him gently. The way those people around them were looking at them was very cold. If Royce and Henry wouldn't agree to their demands, they might well attack them.
”We'll cooperate.” Royce cast a look at Pislen. He knew he didn't have a choice at this moment. If he could kill Merle, they would manage to keep some secrets of the Blood Kindred; it was better than allowing her to be captured by others.
”Since that is so, we should work together for once,” Pislen replied with a cold smile, looking at Merle. At once, everyone's eyes were fixed on Merle. This woman would die after experiencing the honor of having them all them working together in order to kill her. All those present were by no means lowly figures in their own influences and clans.
Merle glanced at the people without any expression. Suddenly, she let out a long cry. A streak of glaring Blood light shone from her back, followed by the appearance of a pair of crimson bat's wings, measuring three to four meters across and giving out a sanguinary and evil aura.
Next, Merle's hands both began to change, with ten frightening talons emerging like the sharpest blades in the world.
Everyone was stupefied and looked at Merle dumbfoundedly. How was she able to transform into a Vampire bat; wasn't it only the Earl of Blood Kindred who had this ability? Merle was merely a Viscount; how could she possibly transform in this way?
”That isn't a body of transformation but Atavism! My God! She can actually perform Atavism!” Henry looked at the sinister figure in terror as he screamed with horror on his face. Atavism! It was actually the legendary Atavism; how could it be!
”How can this be?” Royce was dazed as he looked at Merle with an unknown feeling surging in his heart. He was very clear what it meant when a member of the Blood Kindred could perform Atavism, but why wouldn't the members of the Blood Kindred accept her? Exactly why?
The surrounding people didn't hear Henry's words as everyone was in a state of shock. They simply stared at Merle dumbfoundedly.
”God! She is merely a Viscount and can't have the body of transformation which only the Earl could have,” Pislen remarked in disbelief. ”Unless the Divine Blood that she had integrated is not from the Blood Kindred's Lord, and instead was from a Blood Kindred's Emperor.”
”It's definitely not the Lord's Divine Blood,” Guterra said. ”Only the Divine Blood of the Emperor and above would have such a special effect. If this woman is to grow up successfully, she will most probably become a Lord in the Blood Kindred.”
The pupils of Guterra's eyes constricted as his eyes fixed on Merle. The Sorcerers Family had constantly studied the Lord's Divine Blood of the Blood Kindred and could be very certain that it didn't have this effect. If the Divine Blood in Merle's body came from the Blood Kindred's Emperor, then…Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
At that instant, all the eyes were fervently staring at Merle like they were looking at a mountain of gold.
Blood Kindred's Emperor! That was an immensely great existence. If they obtained the Emperor's Divine Blood, they would be more than willing to be a part of Blood Kindred.
As long as Merle had not integrated with the Divine Blood completely, they could extract the Divine Blood out of her body. If it was merely the Divine Blood of the Blood Kindred's Duke, perhaps they would simply treat it as an expensive treasure which could be exchanged for great benefits. However, if the Divine Blood was from Blood Kindred's Emperor, they would definitely not sell it. Instead, they would integrate it with themselves as they were willing to be part of Blood Kindred for it.
”Greedy people. You will die before me.” Merle looked at them with a peaceful expression. She remained standing on the same spot, but a crimson figure appeared in front of Guterra and Langrok.
Guterra's face changed as he realized that Merle was attacking him first. He waved his hand and a staff appeared in his hand. He pointed it in front of him to strike towards the crimson figure.
He knew that he wouldn't be able to escape from Merle's terrifying speed so he could only fight her head on. If he had attempted to hide, he would have been at a great disadvantage instantly.
The crimson figure did not continue with an attack on Guterra, but instead targeted Langrok, standing beside him. With a strange twist of the Blood light, the figure disappeared from in front of Guterra, appearing in front of Langrok at a strange angle.
A streak of crimson claw flashed, and before Langrok could react, his body began to shatter into pieces. Langrok was merely an Arch Sorcerer and differed from Guterra by a big realm. He was completely unable to withstand an attack from Merle.
”Damn it.” Guterra was furious and waved the staff in his hand. A streak of black fog surged out. The next moment, the surrounding heavens and earth itself seemed to be darkened. A streak of starlight appeared from the sky and instantly hit Merle's body.
Merle's body shook slightly and flew backward a few meters but was she was unscathed.
”We must attack together. Don't give her a chance to get out of all the attacks!” Guterra shouted aloud. His figure flashed as he became the first to fly towards Merle. The others knew that if they didn't cooperate as one, they might not defeat her. Hence, everyone attacked one after another.
Instantly, more than ten experts from different influences, including the Blood Kindred, besieged Merle frantically. The terrifying power almost flattened the surrounding mountain forests.
Facing the attack of so many experts with everyone putting in their best effort, Merle was finally at a disadvantage. Regardless of how strong she was, she would be helpless when facing so many experts of the same realm simultaneously. However, Merle remained calm and her calmness was frightening to all.
