Magicians never make wishes

Chapter 84 Blood Demon Summoning

"My wife, how dare you slander her?"

Blood Duke's face was gloomy, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.

He didn't blame his wife for her infidelity at all; instead, he felt that others were slandering her.

However, considering that even Director Dick himself admitted to it.

It's obvious that Blood Lord himself is unwilling to accept the facts.

That's why he didn't blame the culprit, but instead targeted the person who discovered the problem.

In his eyes, whether his wife cheated on him or not was perhaps unimportant.

But if it affects his own reputation, that would be a very serious matter.

Blood Lord narrowed his eyes, his dangerous gaze shifting from the fallen Arabella to Ronan's face.

When Ronan saw Arabella knocked down and seriously injured, his anger surged like a tidal wave for no reason.

He gritted his teeth and used reason to suppress his impulse.

Then he forcefully pulled off the Aura Stone hanging from his chest and placed it on Arabella's chest wound.

This stone can add a bit of vitality to the body and play a certain role in the recovery of external injuries.

at the same time.

Ronan stretched out his hands and covered the two wounds that ran through his body, one in front and one in back.

He cast "Healing" spells with both hands simultaneously, one after another, as if it were free. This zero-ring magic, which he had only recently mastered, was cast by him.

In an instant, a series of healing orbs surged into Arabella's body.

call out.

A sharp whistling sound rang out.

A thin line of blood rapidly approached from behind, carrying the momentum to pierce through anything, heading straight for Ronan's head.

This line of blood is not only incredibly fast, but also extremely difficult to detect due to its small size.

Mages who use spells such as "Mental Detection" and "Danger Sense" to detect enemies will find it extremely difficult to keep up with them.

Often, when a mage uses these two spells, the bloodline can quickly pierce through the opponent's head before the opponent can even react.

However, from Ronan's mental perspective, this line of blood could be clearly and completely captured.

The bloodline surged forward, and just as it was about to pierce his head, a semi-transparent shield suddenly blocked it.

Zero-ring magic, "Magic Shield".

This shield is primarily used to defend against magical attacks, but it is also effective against most physical attacks.

With the infusion of a large amount of mental energy, the shield's defensive capabilities increased dramatically.

Blocking tiny blood lines is a piece of cake.

Ronan discovered that Arabella was fortunate to have no internal organs damaged after being pierced through the chest by a bloodline.

But these tiny blood lines don't just cause penetrating damage.

If it's just a simple penetrating injury, considering the size of the bloodline, it's basically a minor injury unless it damages internal organs.

But the bloodline isn't that simple.

After the blood vessel passes through, some blood will remain and merge into the injured person's body, forming a special kind of "blood poison".

This blood toxin spreads rapidly throughout the injured person's body, causing various sudden blood-related symptoms in a short period of time.

Arabella is suffering greatly from this.

Her entire body's functions were being gradually destroyed by the blood poison, and without Ronan's continuous supply of "healing spells"...

Its life energy was probably already exhausted.

Fortunately, Ronan's "healing spells" have two major advantages.

First, his mental strength is extremely powerful, enabling him to continuously cast this spell.

By continuously accumulating quantity, quantitative change leads to qualitative change, which can produce unexpected therapeutic effects.

This is why Ronan, even in his anxiety, was still casting the "healing spell" without hesitation.

Secondly, although the "Healing Technique" was obtained by exchanging points, the version he actually used was not the basic version he obtained.

The book of magical knowledge contains "twenty-four enhancement schemes for healing spells" that the original owner had mastered.

Previously, due to time constraints, Ronan had only tried one enhancement method—increasing casting speed.

He is able to accumulate life energy in Arabella's body so quickly thanks to this.

When Ronan was using enhancement programs to modify magic, he discovered that a stronger soul made him more adept at using such magic.

He had previously tried one enhancement method.

Now, at this critical juncture, the idea of ​​magical modification has suddenly arisen again.

As long as the "Healing Spell" can be further strengthened, the blood poison in Arabella's body can be completely cured.

However, Blood Lord wouldn't just stand idly by.

After seeing that "Bloodline" could not break through Ronan's shield, he clasped his hands together and changed his move.

Immediately afterwards, a pulsating ball of blood suddenly appeared between his two palms.

The blood cells seemed to come alive, nimbly enveloping both palms.

Immediately, Blood Duke abruptly separated his hands, revealing a layer of flowing blood on his palms.

This is the spell most frequently used by Blood Lord, "Double Blood Slash".

With the blood on his hands, he clenched them into a knife-like shape and swung them sharply toward Ronan's location.

The same applies to the other hand; the two strikes follow one after the other, with their trajectories intersecting.

Two enormous, blood-red blade shadows shot out from his hand, intersecting to form a blood-red "X" slash that flew straight toward Ronan.

Ronan had never seen similar magic before, and he guessed that it must be a trick of a life-type mage.

Just in case, he simply held Arabella in his arms and continued to evade while protected by the shield.

Ronan feared that the "magic shield" wouldn't be able to defend against the opponent's attack.

By doing this, even if the shield fails to block the slash, he can leave the attack range in advance.

However, it seems he was being overly cautious.

The opponent's crimson slash could not shake the "magic shield," only causing some kinetic energy impact on the surface of the shield.

It would take at least a dozen impacts of this magnitude to shatter the shield.

However, whatever he wished for came true.

As a life-type mage with mentor-level strength, Blood Lord possesses unparalleled mastery of blood magic.

The strange blood on his palm did not disappear; the "Double Blood Slash" could strike more than once!

Seeing that the attack had damaged the shield, Blood Duke immediately swung his sword twice more, unleashing two blood-red slashes.

After that, he seemed to transform into a dancer, waving his hands repeatedly.

A closer look reveals that these movements are not only extremely fast, but the blood-red slashes they unleash have almost completely blocked Ronan's escape routes.

There's no way to avoid it; you can only take it!

A single crimson slash can deplete about 5% of the shield's durability, and now so many slashes together can completely shatter the "magic shield."

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Ronan simply raised his hand and fired a "scorching ray" at Blood Lord before the shield was shattered.

To his surprise, the ray collided with the crimson slash midway after it was fired.

These strikes quickly dissolved upon contact with the "scorching rays".

Dozens of blood-red slashes vanished instantly beneath this firing line.

From Ronan's perspective, these slashes were the vaporized form of blood on the opponent's palm, and the ultra-high temperature of the rays was the nemesis of this vaporized form.

"You've got some skills." Blood Duke grinned sinisterly, his tone ambiguous, neither mocking nor praising. "Then try this move."

He wiped the blood off his palms and then bit his thumbs.

Using the spilled blood, he drew strange runes in mid-air.

Before long, a strange magic circle made of blood appeared on the ground.

The blood formed array patterns that flowed slowly, and the misty blood energy rose within the array, as if forming an independent space.

Blood Lord bent down, pressed his thumb onto the magic circle, and chanted loudly, "Call upon my blood, summon demons as souls."

"Blood Demon Summoning!"

In an instant, the magic circle formed by blood emitted rays of red light.

Blood from Blood Duke's body flowed from his thumb into the magic circle, condensing into tiny, suspended blood beads.

These tiny blood droplets floated within the formation, merging together to form larger blood spheres.

The blood sphere kept writhing, gradually growing limbs and a head from its bare shape, until finally, it transformed into a liquid, four-legged creature.

Its size and appearance resemble a small hyena, its body is made of blood, and its two eyes glow with a deep scarlet light.

Within the entire magic circle, three of these liquid hyenas were eventually created.

According to Blood Lord, this is called Blood Demon.

After the three blood demons appeared, each let out a roar.

The magic circle on the ground, drawn with blood, was instantly split into three equal blood lines, which flew into the mouths of the three-headed blood demon.

After summoning the three-headed blood demon, Blood Lord's face was slightly pale, but his eyes were filled with intense killing intent.

He pointed at Ronan and his companion and ordered, "Kill them."

Upon hearing this, the three-headed hyena Blood Demon seemed somewhat slow to react and indifferent to Blood Duke's command.

Only after discovering that there was no more blood on the ground did they finally leap and pounce in the direction Blood Lord had pointed.

Ronan did not interrupt Bloodlord's actions at all.

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he simply doesn't have the time to care.

At this moment, the misty stone he placed on Arabella's wound seemed to have some special interaction with the blood poison.

The entire misty stone was slowly melting.

By the time Ronan discovered it, the misty stone had already turned into a pool of liquid, spreading across the wound.

Arabella's injury quickly worsened.

Ronan never expected that this shimmering stone would backfire at this crucial moment. Although it could also increase life energy, it ended up disrupting the balance.

He had to increase the output speed of the "Healing" spell, but the effect was minimal.

Just then, the three-headed hyena Blood Demon appeared in an instant and pounced from three different directions.

Even with a "magical shield" protecting him, Ronan still felt somewhat uncertain when he saw these ferocious faces rushing towards him.

The three-headed hyena Blood Demon was unsurprisingly stopped by the shield, but their impact caused cracks in the shield, showing that the attack was quite powerful.

Ronan actually had some experience with this liquid enemy—the previous polluters were covered in black liquid.

The best way to deal with them is to freeze these disgusting liquids.

He clasped his hands together and then opened them, revealing three ice arrows between his palms.

At such close range, even the three-headed blood demon, no matter how fast it is, cannot dodge.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Three ice arrows were fired simultaneously, hurtling towards the Blood Demon's head and striking precisely between his eyebrows.

The ice arrow pierced through, leaving three holes in the head of the three-headed blood demon.

But then, the blood around the cavity began to surge rapidly, continuously filling the cavity.

In the blink of an eye, the Blood Demon returned to normal.
