It seemed that the Blood Prince felt something when our attacks clashed. I could see his face change expression.
”Chaa!” I gathered my strength to push the Blood Prince away with my sword. The Blood Prince stumbled backwards with a shocked look on his face. I took that timing to swing my sword at his head.
The Blood Prince saw my attack coming, and quickly regained his footing, stepping back to avoid it.
But my blade was faster.
It wasn't a perfect attack, but my blade did manage to cut him from his face to chest and left a huge gash. It was time to finish this!
”Warrior's Brave Spirit!”
------
[Warrior's Brave Spirit Level 1 has been activated.
Level 1: 8 hour cooldown. For one hour, raise your ATT by 20%, CRIT chance by 1%, CRIT damage by 50%, movement speed by 5%, and ATT speed by 2.5%. For one hour, Slightly Awkward Indomitable Spirit effect is placed (Slight Awkward Indomitable Spirit decreases chance to avoid damage by 10%). Fatigue does not rise while skill is in effect.]
-----
My base AGI was already second to no one. It was also higher than that of any archer or assassin, thanks to my Lightning Boots and its 10% increase to movement speed. Now, with the Warrior's Brave Spirit, my movement speed had to be the highest in the whole world.
I charged in at the Blood Prince, who just stood there, seemingly unable to cope with the fact that he just got damaged. Sand and dust kicked up at my feet as I dashed in; it looked almost like a rocket's trail. In a blink of any eye, I appeared before him and raised my heel over his foot.
”Heel Kick!” I activated my skill while the Blood Prince stood there, shocked at my astounding speed.
==[You have activated Heel Kick. Opponent's movement speed slowed down by 10% for five seconds.]==
I used all two of my skills I could use. Now, all I could do is attack relentlessly. I slashed the Blood Prince who continued to stand there, dumbfounded that I managed to inflict multiple attacks on him in a matter of seconds.
”What… what is this? Erk!” The Blood Prince quickly regained his composure and moved back to try to get away from my flurry of slashes, but I stayed on him, not willing to let him go.
I was much faster than him. Every time the Blood Prince moved to the side or tbackwards, I quickly closed the distance.
”Gah! Shit! What is this damage output?!”
I was the First Unrivaled. I took 50% less damage from all attacks inflicted by deities and inflicted 25% more against them. That was me!
The Blood Prince swore when my blade slashed his thigh, but I ignored it and continued my attack. I was more satisfied that my attacks were working.
My opponent right now was the Blood Prince; the most evil of demons and one of the most infamously dangerous people around. This demon was swearing while trying to escape my onslaught!
”Sticky Blood Fog!”
==[Sticky Blood Fog is covering the surrounding area. Your body will be covered in blood, becoming overloaded. Body weight will increase by 200 grams per second, up to 60 kilograms.]==
I quickly scanned the message alert. 200 grams per second meant 12 kilograms in one minute?
”Kekeke! You're not thinking you're almighty just because you're an Unrivaled, are you?” The Blood Prince smiled even after taking all those hits.
If my body weight increased like that, then my attack and movement speed would start slowing down greatly. But I was still confident in my high STR, AGI, and VIT.
”I guess we'll just have to find out. Chaa!” Instead of getting out of the Fog, I charged in at the Blood Prince once more and slashed at him in a flurry. The blade of my sword deeply slashed his side. The Blood Prince tried to block my attacks with his sword made of blood, but the occasional attack went through and I could see drops of blood dripping from the blood sword. Soon, the blood sword became very thin.
”Shit!” the Blood Prince swore. I could tell that the attack inflicted significant damage. I continued my attacks with more drive.
After about five more hits, the blood sword broke in half and fell to the ground. At that moment, the blade of my sword sliced through the Blood Prince's side once more.
”Gak! How the hell…?”
-Damn it…- The satisfaction I felt when my attack went through was replaced with a slight panic as I felt my body grow heavy. However, I kept my face straight.
”Blood…Blood Pool!” The Blood Prince used the same skill he used against the Myth Guild at the entrance of the Khufu Pyramid. The skill required the Blood Prince to remain in the center of the pool. I thought for a second if I should charge in or retreat and decided it was best to make some distance between us.
”Raaahh! You son of a bitch!” the Blood Prince roared at me from the center of the pool. I didn't say anything, and just stared him down.
Once the Blood Pool finished forming, it began to absorb the Blood Fog.
==[You have been released from the Fog of Blood. The blood that was stuck to your body is disappearing. Your increased weight will now decrease by 200 grams per second until your weight returns to normal.]==
I glanced over the message and quickly closed it. I had better things to worry about.
”You! You! I swear I'll kill you! How dare an insect like you hurt me? How dare a lowly deva push me this far? Blood Powered Recovery. Savage Heart!”
I knew that the Blood Prince was infamous in the past, but I never really took an interest in him. As a result knew nothing about his fighting style, or any of his skills. But I could obviously tell what Blood Powered Recovery did. All of his wounds began to close.
-Shit!- I grew pissed as I saw him restore his HP in the middle of the pool. It felt like I just missed a really important time to really hurt him.
I decided to trust in my Unrivaled skill and jumped over the pool of blood and brought my sword crashing down onto the Blood Prince. The Blood Prince formed another sword out of blood and raised it to block my attack.
My attack was successful. The blade of my sword cracked the blood sword in half and continued towards the Blood Prince's head.
”Blood Chains!” The Blood Prince quickly called forth his Blood Chains while I was still in the air, wrapping them around my ankle. The chains pulled me back with great force and dragged me into the Blood Pool. In an effort to not go quietly, I swung my sword at the Blood Prince three more times in an instant.
The Blood Prince blocked all three of my attacks, forming a new blood sword each time one broke. By that time, I was already waist deep in the pool and could do nothing to free myself.
I thought for a second if I should use Blink to get out but I decided against it. I swung at the Blood Prince's legs even as my head was submerged. The blade managed to cut his thigh.
”Tsk! Tenacious bastard!”
I couldn't do anything more. It felt like the Blood Pool itself was dragging me deeper and deeper.
==[You are submerged in a Blood Pool. Your movements have become extremely restricted.
The Blood Prince absorbs 1000 of your HP per second.]==
”Gahaha! How do you like that?! It's over once you're in there! Gahahaha!”
I could hear him laughing at me. –Shit! It's hard to move.- It felt like my limbs were attached to a one ton weight.
-Chaa!- I wasn't going to just keel over like this. I gathered as much strength as I could and began to walk, one step at a time.
”What…on Earth?”
The pool wasn't very deep or very large. The whole diameter had to be about only ten meters. If the Blood Prince was in the very center, then I just had to make it to five meters.
”Blood Chains!” The Blood Prince summoned his chains once more to hold me by the ankles. He must really not want me getting out.
I gathered my strength once more and pulled at the chains. –Did you think I'll just sit here and take it? Raaahh!-
