We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 90: A Head-on Clash with a Second-Tier Mystic!
Deirdre had barely finished speaking.

Everyone was suddenly in an uproar.

How dare a heretic infiltrate their sacred blood feast ritual?
In the crowd, Xia En's first reaction was that he had been exposed.

Although it is unknown how she was exposed, the matriarch of the Fallon family seems to have used a special secret method to detect her as a "heretic" who did not even have blood.

Thinking of this, Xia En sighed softly, placed his hand on Murta's shoulder, and prepared to use him as a scapegoat, activating his unstoppable mode.

But before Xia En could take any action, a sigh came from not far away—

"I knew it would turn out like this..."

The one who sighed was Fei Ya, who was wearing a dress.

In the end, it still comes down to fists.

Before he finished speaking, he reached his hand into the wide hem of his skirt.

Then, he pulled out a huge, brass-colored mechanical gun. The luster of the metal and the mechanical and steel construction were all filled with a violent beauty!
Titan's Grip!

Moreover, when Bishan last saw it, this heavy weapon seemed to have undergone some unreasonable modifications.

Its form became heavier and larger, with steam violently gushing and flowing within its body.

It would be more appropriate to call it a "heavy artillery" rather than a "gun"!
It was only then that Xia En understood why Fei Ya was wearing such a large dress.

Only this kind of clothing can hide this giant weapon inside the skirt!

[Titan's Grip] is clearly active.

Almost the instant Feiya pulled it out, the surging steam cannon, with exaggerated speed and power, roared towards Deirdre in the crowd!
boom!
Amidst the exploding sound of steam billowing.

The four or five vampires along the way didn't even have time to react. Their muscles were torn apart inch by inch by the high pressure, and they burst into a cloud of blood mist on the spot.

slam-la-

The sky burst open in a spray of crimson.

Seeing this, a hint of fear flashed in Deirdre's eyes, and she quickly retreated.

And thus, the drawbacks of this heavy weapon became apparent—

Too short a range!

Beyond a certain distance, the power of high-pressure steam will rapidly decrease.

Clearly, Fei Ya originally intended to use this powerful weapon after getting close to the matriarch, but she didn't expect that her plan would be seen through beforehand.

After dodging the deadly bombardment, Deirdre did not hesitate and ordered, "Charge! Kill this heretic!"

"Offer her spirit and blood to the Crimson Lord!"

Without her prompting, the other vampires immediately reacted and used their respective methods to pounce on Fei Ya.

At the same time, he shouted, "For the Crimson Lord!"

"To hell with the Crimson Lord! A bunch of bastards!"

Their response was met with a torrent of curses from Faia and the incessant roar of his steam core.

The steam, imbued with divine qualities, instantly dispelled the bandages on his arms and legs, and Millie and Dutch cheered excitedly, providing their master with surging power.

Feiya suddenly raised both arms upwards, lifting the Titan's Grip, and swung the weapon like a sledgehammer.

With a "bang," it slammed into the head of the nearest vampire.

The sound of bones cracking rang out as the man's head was smashed into the floor, and he quickly fell silent.

Afterwards, Fei Ya's petite body tossed and turned among the vampires.

Or use an iron fist to blast the enemy away.

Or kick the vampire's body to pieces.

The steam emanating from his body seemed to have some kind of restraining effect on vampires, greatly slowing down their healing process.

It could even faintly ignite the blood of vampires, which made them quite wary.

Clearly, this is due to the "sacred" properties of steam.

But Xia En knew after a couple of glances that Fei Ya's defeat was only a matter of time.

His combat strength is among the best of the first-tier Secret Pathers, and with the various external equipment he carries, it's not impossible for him to go toe-to-toe with a second-tier Secret Pather.

However, there are more than ten fifth-class vampires in the castle right now.

Not to mention, there's also Matriarch Faron, who's equivalent to a second-tier Mystic, sitting in the background!
Perhaps this young man has some hidden methods that allow him to sneak into this banquet alone.

But Xia En didn't want to wait any longer.

"Teville, don't you want to rush up and show off in front of the mistress?"

Murta was completely oblivious to the impending danger and even joked with Shane.

"In my opinion, that little girl's blood is absolutely delicious! If we go up now, we might even be able to get a cup..."

laugh!
next moment.

Shane's right hand had already pierced Murta's heart.

"Thank you for reminding me. Since you're so kind, why don't you... lend me your blood?"

"...You?!"

As Murta's gaze grew increasingly dazed, Shane pulled a crimson, blood-stained longsword from his chest.

His body quickly became shriveled and pale, and he died.

Because the attention of all the vampires was drawn to Faia in the arena, almost no one noticed Xia En's silent killing.

Xia En simply grabbed his blood sword and charged straight at Deirdre in the center of the hall!

During the last dive, it was this matriarch of the Fallon family who ambushed him, severing his head with a bloodline, preventing him from even using his second stage.

Let's settle both old and new scores!

Upon seeing his actions, the nearby vampires were initially taken aback.

Unable to distinguish between enemy and friendly forces.

After all, Xia En carries the [Dark Crimson] weapon, and the blood sword in his hand is a signature ability of the vampire clan. It is perfectly reasonable for him to take action to protect the matriarch.

and many more……

Why did he go straight to the mistress?!

As Shane accelerated, the vampires were startled and quickly realized something was wrong.

"That guy's acting strange!"

"Stop him quickly!"

At that moment, Deirdre also turned her head, her beautiful face filled with shock and anger.

"The God Thief—" The disbelief in her heart was like a raging storm.

She clearly remembered that just last night, she had killed him with her own hands.

But why has this blasphemous god thief reappeared here?

Before Deirdre could think any further, the blood sword in Shane's hand split into several afterimages at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive, and stabbed towards her!
The many shadows in the castle seemed to become its aid at this moment, merging with the blood sword.

Blood and shadow intertwined, creating an indescribable and wondrous transformation.

laugh!
The sword light sliced ​​through the air, cut through the blood shield blocking the air, and sliced ​​through the delicate skin of Deirdre's neck!
Swift as light and shadow, it can cut through anything!
It seemed that nothing could stop the sharpness of this sword!

All the people saw was a red and black shadow flash by, and then Deirdre's head fell off her neck.

[A single, swift sword strike!]

With Xia En's attributes soaring once again, the power of this sword strike has reached an unprecedented level.

However, in the very next instant...

Countless fine blood vessels emerged from the headless body, quickly connecting with the severed head and pulling it back above the neck.

Flesh buds and tentacles spread out from within, beginning to approach each other and recombine.

After a period of unsettling growth and wriggling, Deirdre's body returned to normal, except for a healing wound on her neck.

"Damn God Thief, you think this can kill me?"

Her voice became hoarse and filled with anger.

At the same time, her body underwent a strange change.

Her aura quickly shifted towards darkness and coldness, and her skin swelled and deformed, transforming into blooming flowers of flesh and blood.

Its stamens are made up of numerous tiny teeth and white bones, which is terrifying to look at.

The crimson color turned into mist, swirling around her like a formal dress.

Unlike yesterday's encounter, Deirdre displayed a more powerful second form right from the start.

This shows how much she values ​​Xia En, who "came back from the dead".

"[Thief of Gods], tremble, fear!"

"I will tear all your flesh and blood to shreds!"

Shane simply smiled at Deirdre's declaration.

He certainly didn't think he could kill a second-stage Mystic with a single sword strike.

But he has already achieved his goal.

The blood sword, imbued with the properties of [Curse] and [Contamination], has already cleaved through Deirdre's flesh. All that remains is to further inflict the wound, and she will be easily defeated.

—That was what Shane originally thought.

But looking at the gradually mutated and ugly Deirdre before him, his fighting spirit soared.

Isn't it just phase two?
It seems like everyone has one.

It was just a thought.

The power from the Black Swan surged into Shane's body like a raging torrent.

With each breath he took, illusory waves began to form, layer upon layer.

These illusory waves are becoming more and more real, more and more weighty, and are even gradually showing the impact and power of real waves!
Hearing the sound of the waves, all the vampires around them changed their expressions.

They had only ever felt this oppressive feeling from fourth-class people like the matriarch!

Moreover, this [God Thief] didn't have such a strong aura yesterday.

How could such an exaggerated transformation have occurred in just one day?

What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger.

As if to answer their questions, the man in the trench coat spoke in a deep voice.

"This time, it's you who should be running away!"

Then, Shane moved.

He took a step forward, his blood sword sweeping across the room, and with a single strike, he beheaded several vampires.

Immediately, the blood of these vampires also became part of the blood sword, transforming it into the shape of a two-handed greatsword.

Its weight was a bit too light just now, not suitable for Xia En's increased power.

It's barely usable now.

This action undoubtedly enraged the mutated Deirdre.

A large net of blood lines quickly spread out from beneath her feet, aiming to surround and strangle Xia En.

"You're too slow!"

Shaen strode forward and stood before Deirdre, his blood-red greatsword crashing down.

All of these movements were simple and unadorned, without any fancy moves, yet Deirdre was completely unable to dodge them.

The reason is simple: he's too fast!
Deirdre raised her arm to block.

With almost no resistance, her hands and body were cleaved in two by the blood sword!
The overwhelming force was simply unstoppable.

But even after being split in two, Deirdre did not die.

Even from his torn body, countless blood threads, stronger than steel bars, burst forth, binding Shane's body like a noose together with the large net on the ground.

To Deirdre's horror, no matter how hard she tried, she could only leave white marks on the other person's skin.

I couldn't even break through his defenses!

With the combined effects of [Captain's Majesty], Tier 1 [Captain], [Communicating with the Soul of the Ship], and long-term nurturing of the Black Swan...

At this moment, Shane's attributes reached a new level.

His purest speed, strength, and defense make him capable of directly confronting a second-tier Mystic!
"A monster...this guy is a monster!"

Deirdre screamed inwardly in terror, "How could someone do this with just their physical body...?"

But she knew that the other party would not let her go, so she was still making a last-ditch effort.

"Ahhh-"

Deirdre let out a sharp, piercing roar.

Her flesh and blood suddenly melted and disintegrated, turning into a huge and viscous blood mist that completely enveloped Xia En.

Thank you "Moon Crane" for the 200-coin reward! Thank you so much!
