Chapter 182 - Chapter 182: Chapter 174: The Essence of Blood (2/2)

Meanwhile, as the blood tainted with the evil curse had been completely incinerated, Chris had gradually regained control over his body, now able to move normally.

At the same time, he also felt something, that the household manager Theo, not in Nasir Town, had discovered his own situation through the “household management” extraordinary trait.

The old man was transmitting life force and spiritual power through “household management.”

Chris’s body, which had been near death, gradually received a surge of strength.

“Awooo!”

Under the burning of the black Fire of Sin, the bloody monster writhed, growing a gaping maw, and let out another tremendous roar.

People on the entire street were shocked to see Lord Chris, bathed in black flames, suddenly leap high into the air and charge into the body of the bloody monster!

The heavily injured Vanessa couldn’t help but cry out in terror.

“Chris!”

However, at the moment Chris truly touched the bloody monster, his rune power “Countdown Timer” activated!

Having set a three-minute countdown as soon as he learned of the situation here, the “Countdown Timer” finally came due, freezing everything nearby in time for three whole seconds!

The bloody monster completely maintained a state of stillness.

Chris, engulfed in black flames, plunged into the frozen bloody monster, swinging uncountable slashes like a whirlwind, carving a path of madness. Through “Tracking Senses” and discriminating by scent, he found the monster’s only core within the three seconds!

He was covered in crimson blood, and in the next instant, it would come alive again, howling as it dragged Chris straight into a crimson hell.

Yet, Chris had silently swung the Black Blade, piercing the core that resembled a heart!

In the next moment, the enormous crimson monster began to crumble, and a torrent of blood gushed down the streets like a waterfall, the stench instilling fear in the hearts of the people.

And Chris, despite his severe injuries, retracted the Fire of Sin, enduring the pain without losing consciousness.

From the broken crimson heart, he extracted a scarlet gemstone, standing in silence on a land drenched in blood.

The scarlet gemstone was a “Blood Element,” which was the source of most mysterious rare artifacts; these “Elements” would gradually evolve into mysterious artifacts after separating from their mystical entities.

However, before naturally evolving into mysterious artifacts, “Elements of Mystical Entities” could also be crafted into powerful alchemical tools through alchemy.

“Lord Chris is our savior!”

“It’s a success!”

“We’re saved, thank the gods, thank the Guardian of the Fischer family!”

Seeing the massive and terrifying bloody monster destroyed, the people outside the streets finally let go of their anxiety and cheered enthusiastically!

Soon enough, the news of Lord Chris destroying the beast spread throughout Nasir Town.

Chris glanced at the scarlet gemstone in his hand once more, sensing that it was an offering suitable for the gods.

Holding the scarlet gemstone and ignoring his serious injuries, he searched for the also heavily injured Vanessa and breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing her situation had stabilized.

“Chris, you’re gravely injured; it’s a pity Irene isn’t in Nasir Town…”

Vanessa’s abdomen and arm had been pierced by blood arrows, but she paid no attention to her own injuries, instead, she was very worried about Chris’s condition.

This sudden incident couldn’t be concealed; they could only report the matter to the Tempest Church.

Several days later, the Fischer family learned of the whole story from Acting Bishop Zayne.

It turned out that Baron Hovern had killed his wife and brother when he fled from Fein City and had even murdered several innocent bystanders he encountered to drink their blood, completely losing his sanity.

His identity naturally represented the Hovern family of Cyart, and now the Hovern family was under a joint investigation by the churches.

Under normal circumstances, this matter might have been suppressed, but now it was being used by the two major churches as leverage, undoubtedly to serve as a major condemnation in the trial against the Hovern family!

Everyone could see that after so long, no other pillar families had offered help, and the downfall of the Hovern family of Cyart was a foregone conclusion.

Thus, the situation for the Eagle clan, who had relied on the Hovern family, turned awkward, and even many of the smaller clans following them started to display ambivalent attitudes, privately considering whether to switch allegiance.

The usually balanced situation on the East Coast was completely broken.

Everyone was speculating whether the Lion clan would take drastic action to turn decisively against the Eagle clan.

But the Eagle clan was no insignificant family; even with their patron gone, they still had significant connections within the country, and if they were eradicated on any trivial pretext, the Lion clan would also face enormous pressure.

The enraged Cyart King might well pursue the matter to the end and no longer tolerate the local forces of East Coast Province acting wantonly, severely punishing the Lion clan.

In the silent night, Viscount Zavier “Black Hawk,” clad in a black robe, arrived alone by the lakeside of Sunrise Lake at the center of the East Coast.

He stood beside the waters, waiting tranquilly for Viscount Bast to come for negotiations.
