Chapter 146: Lagovin’s Dog
The effect of Blood Decay is to cause all the target’s wounds to experience uncontrollable severe bleeding, while also causing their blood to instantly rot, destroying their self-healing ability.
It requires ten stacks of the “Scarlet Blood” status to trigger, meaning Li Wen needs to deal ten effective hits to the enemy with the Raven Feather Dagger.
When facing most enemies, the target would likely die from excessive blood loss before Li Wen could even land ten hits, even if Li Wen deliberately attacked non-vital areas every time. Therefore, this is an enchantment for Transcendent beings of specific paths. When dealing with existences like demons, and Transcendent beings with extremely powerful vitality in the Flesh lineage, Scarlet Curse and Blood Decay can exert their greatest effect.
Just like the current Agent, the異種 Hunter class, which has fused with异种 blood, is indeed incredibly powerful, easily surpassing the limitations of the originally frail human body and inheriting the powerful physique, vitality, and self-healing abilities of the异种, which are different from humans.
If it weren’t for the Scarlet Blood enchantment on the Raven Feather Dagger, Li Wen admitted that she wouldn’t have dared to challenge a Stage Three 异种 Hunter, even if the opponent was already severely wounded.
The Agent did not expect that such a seemingly light attack would almost cost him his life. He had too many wounds, not including the ones Li Wen caused. Before arriving at the warehouse, Moria and the other had already inflicted several nearly fatal wounds on him. Now, these wounds, which should have been close to healing under the influence of the 异种 blood, burst open again.
These wounds bled profusely, and the flowing blood was putrid and foul-smelling. The Agent’s face was pale. He attempted to use his mana to stimulate the 异种 blood within him to heal these wounds, but the circulation of the 异种 blood was extremely sluggish, as if it were being interfered with by some force.
Under these circumstances, it was difficult for him to even transform into his 异种 form.
Thinking that the opponent’s life would be over in another one or two rounds, Li Wen was about to step forward to continue her assault when a mana missile flew from afar. She dodged it effortlessly, but unexpectedly, a slow spell followed the missile.
The magic hit Li Wen, and she distinctly felt her speed slowing down. Although it wasn’t enough to completely negate the effect of Swiftness, the duration of Swiftness and Body Reinforcement was short, and they were almost over.
The Agent clearly did not miss this opportunity. Although he was dealt a severe blow by Blood Decay, to the point where he could not transform into his 异种 form, this did not mean he had lost his combat ability. He let out a low roar, emitting a hissing snake sound, and his pupils instantly turned vertical. A stream of greenish-blue, foul-smelling liquid spewed from his mouth, splitting into three directions and flying towards Li Wen.
This was the venom of a basilisk. Normal humans would immediately die if they were exposed to even a tiny amount.
Under the effect of the slow spell, despite Li Wen’s strenuous efforts to dodge, one of the three streams of green venom still hit her.
The green venom grazed the edge of the Emerald Star Cloak, emitting a hissing sound. At the same time, Li Wen’s Twilight Erosion progress began to increase rapidly. Her expression was calm as she took out the Passionate Fiery Ring from her pocket, activated its effect to remove the poisoning and slowing, and then unleashed an arc of light to force the Agent back.
Taking this opportunity, Li Wen frowned and looked in the direction where the magic had come from. As expected, it was the White Star Studio members, and their leader, Bai Xingyishi, was already charging forward with an acceleration skill. Li Wen didn’t want to waste too much time on these players, so she ignored the Agent, turned, picked up the Black Stone Egg, and quickly flew away.
“No!”
The Agent was clearly anxious, but none of the three types of blood he had fused with possessed flying abilities, so he could only watch Li Wen with frustration.
The players from White Star Studio felt much the same. They hadn’t even participated in the battle, and the situation seemed to be ending already. A few members with long-range capabilities did not hold back their mana, but the spells they cast either missed or, even if guaranteed to hit, had no effect.
Can this even be a player?
At least, that’s what Bai Xingyishi thought when Li Wen attacked him and saved Bailu. But now, he didn’t believe it one bit. After all, how could any player be so overpowered? The game had only been out for a few days!
Li Wen naturally didn’t care about the feelings of others. In a blink of an eye, she flew out of the dilapidated warehouse. The stone egg in her hand was heavy, its surface smooth and covered with strange, unseen patterns. The mere palpitation she felt while holding it was enough to prove that it was no ordinary item.
However, before she could examine it closely, the stone egg in her hand flew out uncontrollably.
A hand extended from the sky and caught the stone egg. After that, the figure clad in a black robe slowly revealed itself.
“Forbidden,” the person said in a hoarse voice.
An invisible force reached Li Wen faster than the sound. Her body grew heavy, and she plummeted straight down, losing her ability to fly.
Is this a spell with a flight-prohibiting effect?
Li Wen remained unperturbed. While falling, she maintained her balance and, at the moment of landing, used a roll to dissipate the excess impact.
However, the opponent clearly did not consider this the end. He raised his hand and chanted an incantation, and a spark appeared before him, instantly expanding into a fireball the size of a house. The intense heat caused the light around the black-robed figure to distort. This was the Blazing Orb, a magic Li Wen had encountered before, but the current display of power was clearly beyond what a Fire Mage could achieve with potions and scrolls.
The black-robed figure pointed downwards, and the massive fireball shot out like a cannonball. If the magic landed, there would be no survivors in the warehouse.
That is, if no one interfered.
“You won’t!”
With the sound of shattering glass, Marymana teleported to Li Wen’s side.
She raised her hands and summoned a thick, heavy grimoire. Without any incantation, a colorful orb of light flew out of the grimoire and collided with the Blazing Orb.
Brilliant light and heat, mixed with shockwaves and a loud noise, spread from this point to the entire Old Town and even Leicester. The already precarious, dilapidated warehouse directly disintegrated under the impact, and everyone watched in horror at the blinding explosion in the sky.
The Blazing Orb shattered into countless fireballs of various sizes in the explosion, scattering in all directions. However, Marymana clearly would not allow the tragedy of Black Raven Port to happen again. She was already prepared to deal with it. The colorful orb immediately disintegrated, shooting out several beams of colorful light that intercepted all the fireballs before shooting towards the black-robed figure together.
But the opponent simply drew a circle in front of him with his hand, and all the colorful lights disappeared into the circle.
He looked down at Marymana and clicked his tongue in displeasure, clearly not expecting her to catch up so quickly. He then teleported and appeared around White Star Studio.
White Star Fangs swallowed hard. He knew that this black-robed figure was the Lagovin reinforcement he had summoned using a communication spell, but he truly hadn’t expected the Lagovin Family to be so generous as to send such a powerful mage so casually. He swore that he would retract all his previous dissatisfied remarks about Lagovin. From now on, he was Lagovin’s dog!
