Chapter 495: Chapter 463: Black Clouds and Blood Flames

Above the sky, Darren gazed at Rhea People’s “Blood Flames King,” Flamme Meyer.

His eyes held a sharpness, ferocity, and madness that were most unsettling, almost inhuman.

Duke Darren Fischer was undoubtedly a terrifying entity in the eyes of the world.

The demon of Cyart!

Not only were his enemies afraid of him, but the Cyart people were too!

But Darren did not find this disturbing at all, not only because sufficient negative emotion could propel him higher up the God Pantheon stairway but also because he naturally relished being perceived in such a manner by everyone.

Yes.

Darren Fischer was born a selfish, insanely ferocious demon!

Very well.

“I’ve finally reached this point.”

“I will soon be able to avenge my grandfather and fulfill my father’s last wish.”

He murmured to himself.

Over the decades, driven by intense hatred, the Fischer family had thoroughly gathered most of the intelligence on the “Blood Flames King.”

First was the power known as “Blood Flames,” an ominously potent force passed down from the “Fire Demon God Anzemos,” which possessed rather troublesome effects.

That being, anyone wounded by the “Blood Flames” would lose their ability to heal naturally, and their soul would continuously suffer damage as long as the wielder of the “Blood Flames” remained conscious.

The power of the soul flowed and churned within the blood, so the blood-red flames indeed could scorch deep into the soul!

Though Life Box could function, Darren could indeed be burned until only a small part of his soul remained, leaving him far from a complete human.

In fact, within the ranks of Monarchs, not many Bloodline powers could truly damage the soul, but the Meyer family’s Bloodline possessed that capability.

Darren knew one thing, that the “Blood of Salvation” obtained by the Fischer family could also accomplish this, although it had to be developed to the level of Heavenly Enlightenment to reveal the true power of this Bloodline.

Undoubtedly, the direct damage to the soul by the “Blood Flames” constrained Darren’s physical immortality, but he did not feel that meant he was bound to lose.

After all, his immortality was just one among many of his traits, a crucial component of his combat strength, important but only to an extent.

Besides “Blood Flames,” there was another point of concern… according to Darren’s knowledge, the Rhea People had always possessed two double-digit Forbidden rare artifacts, and one of them was likely in Flamme’s possession.

Number sixty-nine, the Forbidden rare artifact “Demon Bamboo.”

The so-called “Demon Bamboo” was a type of purple-blue bamboo, each section of which had eyes constantly seeping blood, undoubtedly possessing peculiarly dark powers.

It required the permanent sacrifice of an important bodily organ to activate, but once used, it would render one almost invincible for a short period, immune to most damage and external interference.

As for how long that “short period” was?

Neither Black Tide nor Darren knew, as Flamme himself had never used the artifact, and the last person to use it was his father, the man who led the Meyer family to the East.

Then there was another concern, the people from the True Gods Church.

He narrowed his eyes.

According to Black Tide’s investigations, Darren learned that the Cardinal of the Salvation Church was also among the Rhea military, that woman known as the “White Flower.”

“White Flower” was a very aged elf, at least five hundred years old, appearing very young but possibly the oldest Cardinal in the Salvation Church.

The Bloodline power she possessed, derived from Angels and called “Flower Dawn,” was not only bizarre but peculiar, endowed with many mysterious characteristics.

Although “White Flower” was not currently on the battlefield, Darren always felt that it was very likely she would suddenly appear here!

“It’s good that we also made our preparations in advance… we’ll see whose preparation is more sufficient.”

His belief that “White Flower” would definitely arrive was because Karno had prophesized in advance that today’s fateful battle would not be easy but full of ups and downs and replete with danger!
