The moment I saw the brilliant shining pillar, I knew something was wrong.
'This can't be normal.'
That was what I thought at that moment, sensing the mana fluctuations around.
The bright green mana that suddenly turned into a different type was a sight worth seeing.
However, there was something else there.
A dark crimson aura that was covering the clouds.
The smell of blood lingering in the environment.
'Cursed Weapon.'
As I thought like that, I reached a place where I saw the battlefield.
'What a scene….'
Calling it devastation would be wrong.
It was nothing simple like that.
'This is what I was expecting….'
Blood was flowing through the sky, like the insides of some sort of beast….
There were a bunch of dead bodies with the same pattern I saw.
Their blood was sucked, and their limbs were shown to the outside world.
/GRRR/
On top of that, there were some hounds that were looking like a disgusting creature.
'Blood Hounds.'
It was something I was familiar with in the game.
'Must be the work of the cursed weapon.'
They were the summons of blood magic users, and they had the qualities to be one of the best hunting dogs, thanks to their unique characteristics.
'Once they summoned, the summon would not be canceled as long as they were supplied with blood constantly.'
Just because of that reason alone, there were some blood necromancers that would obtain bloodhounds as their minions, and then they would release them to the dungeons and make them farm exp until they died.
It was such a broken stat for those who wished to be absolute in the game.
However, dealing with them is not that hard.
You just need to kill them before they can even drink your blood.
Since the game was balanced, those hounds were low in defense and high in attack power, making them vulnerable.
'Now, let's open up.'
Deciding that, I started conjuring a spell that I had been training for a while.
/CRACKLE/ /CRACKLE/
Charging my hands with lightning, I aimed my hand with my index finger pointing toward the hounds.
"BAM!"
And then fired two lightning bolts.
/CIZZZT/ /CIZZZT/
With two lightning bolts leaving my hands, the hounds were electrocuted in a moment.
/SWOOSH/
And then, disappearing from the place I was staying, I appeared behind them with my aura imbued to my sword.
"Grrrr-"
eαglesnᴏνel /THUD/ /THUD/
With a clean cut, while being as silent as possible, I was on their behind.
Two heads falling to the ground marked the end of their life.
'Now, the nuisances are dealt with. Let's head to the main dish.'
The reason why I was trying to be silent was pretty obvious.
I didn't want to alert the target.
'Since there is no reason to be an honorable knight as the stories tell.'
I had sensed two mana signatures inside the carriage there with my decisive mana sense.
'One four-star and one two-star, huh? The other one should be the victim of the attack here.'
And I could also hear some sounds of talking.
"Look at this…. What are you going to do with these eyes? Are you going to kill me?"
Hearing that, I decided to take an action.
By channeling my mana to conjure a spell.
"Thanks to the storm you are conjuring, the lightning-attributed mana is very dense here. I will use it well."
With that mumble, I started channeling mana into my sword.
'Sword of Annihilation. Lightning Edge.'
A sword move that was conjured by supplying a huge amount of lightning mana into the sword.
"Huh?"
I was able to hear the surprised exclamation coming from inside the carriage.
/SWOOSH/
With my sword drawn at a rapid speed, an arc of lighting was drawn in the air.
/CIZZZT/
Then a wave of lightning surged from the tip of my blade, sending a huge arc to the carriage in front of me.
/CLANK/ /SWIRL/
However, just as I had expected, my attack got blocked by a crimson shield that was conjured from blood.
However, the carriage was no longer one part.
It was divided into two as the aftereffects of my strike.
/CRUNCH/
With a loud sound, the carriage fell to the ground.
"HA! Who are you, you fucker?"
And then a rough voice of a man came not long after, behind the crimson blood surge.
A man who was holding a scythe that was blood red.
'All Seeing Eye.'
---------------------------------
Name – Thomas Logan
Age – 24
Class – Destroyer
Mage Rank – 4-star
Knight Rank – 4-star
Attributes – Fire, Earth, Blood(Pseudo-External)
----------------------------------
Seeing the screen in front of me, I thought for a moment:
'Hmm… There was no information about his attributes in the file, but seeing that here, it seems he got the lucky stick of the genetics.'
Being a dual-attributed person is very rare, and on top of that, having a good talent while having dual attributes is a lot rarer, which also explains why they were able to rise to the ranks of the gangs this quickly.
'This pseudo blood magic should be the work of the Cursed Weapon. But, it seems his core had already been altered to some extent.'
'Just as I expected, he had made a deal with the cursed weapon.'
"….."
Of course, while I was thinking that, I didn't answer his question making him enraged.
"Ha? I asked you a question, you fucker!"
No matter where you are, if they are criminals, they are always bad-mouthed. This is what I observed.
Which is something that I don't like.
'It doesn't matter if he is a dual attributed or not. You will die here.'
/SWOOSH/
With my sword raised while my aura imbued, I closed to distance and threw a stab to his shoulder, trying to test his strength.
/CLANK/
And my attack got blocked before it could reach it, showing the enemy was fast too.
'His speed is in the range of five-star; his strength is being enhanced.'
I concluded, seeing his speed.
"Fuck! If you want to play like that, I am in. Let me drink your blood."
Saying that he immediately got into an attacking position this time.
Which marked the start of the fight….
