Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

"Let this place experience the rain of blood."

Suddenly, Kurorugi's arms blackened at a speed visible to the naked eye. One of the Blood Lord's abilities! Then he took a step forward and suddenly vanished into his original location. It causes the sword of the knights to fall forward as they lose their support.

When Kurorugi reappeared, he was already at the back of one of the guards with his black hard on the throat of the guard. Just like that, under the fearful eyes of everyone present. The guard began to shrivel like a dried plant. The guard tried to free himself from Kurorugi's grip, but the latter was just too strong.

The guard felt something moist in his pants. Damn it! He was about to die! If he knew that the enemy was too strong he would have already fled! He didn't have such loyalty to pig nobles. He was only for the high pay!

His skin turned pale until it was gray. The muscles and fats of his body also began to shrink. From a vigorous guard, he turned into a frail, emaciated guy. In the end, the guard fell to the ground. Only bones and skin were left in his innards.

"Oh, my god!!"

"Fuck!!!"

"Y-you monster!"

Robert suddenly roared at the guards. "Idiots! What are you doing!? Kill him!!"

The guards at this time had a look of hesitation on their faces. What they saw was just too stimulating! They are Tier 7 Knights. No matter what force they join. They are considered elite and well sought after by different factions. Do they really want to fight the monster and die for their pig masters?? They had life and a bright future ahead of them. As Tier 7 Destinies, they value their life.

Unfortunately, they're working for nobles. If they really abandoned them just like that. Their reputation would plummet and they would become a deserter. No one would be willing to hire them and they would get punished. The nobles would surely throw them into the dungeon!

As the guards thought of this. They gritted their teeth. There's no other option but to die fighting!

"Guardian Aura!"

Half of the guards activated their Tier 9 ability. Guardian Aura lets the knights emit a protective aura that not only shields them but also extends to nearby allies. The strength of the aura depends on the knight's skill and experience.

The protective aura fused with each other, which gave each knight a golden glow that acted as a protective barrier on their body! It's not the end yet...

"Aegis of Light!!"

The knight channels the power of light to create a radiant shield that not only blocks attacks but also heals the knight over time. This ability is particularly effective against dark or shadow-based threats. They believe that the darkened hand of the enemy was a dark-based ability.

"Let me see if you could still do what you did earlier!" Remer felt confident with the stack upon stack of defensive abilities on their bodies.

Guardians might not be that much when it comes to the offensive. However, their path was the pinnacle of defense!

"Tsk... How arrogant." Kurorugi didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. 'Let me show you the effect of difference in our realm.'

"D-rank Blood Spell: Crimson Cascade!"

Kurorugi makes a small, controlled cut on his palm allowing a few drops of blood to fall onto the ground. With a swift incantation and a focused burst of magical energy, the blood reacts, transforming into a dense, crimson mist that rapidly expands to cover an area in a spherical shape.

"Ahhhh!!!" Screams of pain echoed one after another.
Stay updated through empire

The stack of protective shields and aura could only block physical attacks. Not energy attacks. If not for the healing effect of the Aegis of Light. They would've been in worse shape than they already are.

The mist is infused with blood energy, causing continuous, minor damage to any living beings within its radius over a short duration.

Those caught in the mist may experience disorientation and impaired vision due to the magical nature of the blood mist.

The pain distracted the guard which caused them to deactivate their ability. Kurorugi took this chance. He waved his hand and the blood bullets in the air finally launched themselves. Hitting each guard on the forehead.

Their bodies fell to the ground. Before they died, their face reflected the pain that they suffered. Blood seeped out from the holes of their forehead.

After killing the guards, Kurorugi grinned at Robert and his family members. "You guys are next."

Blood splattered on the walls and desperate screams sounded one after another. Similar scenes were happening in every manor.

...

Brittania Manor.

Nolan Britannia watched as the entire Tier 8 guards he contracted for a year were slaughtered by vampires. He couldn't but feel pain in his heart. After all, he provided them with precious resources for years.

However, his guards still managed to somewhat fend off the enemies because the enemies were just the same realm as his guards. The vampires have just more numbers on their side. 'Damn it! If I have just a team of Tier 7 Knights like Sir. Robert I wouldn't have to worry!'

Tier 7 Knights are just too expensive to contract. He could only afford one. And it wasn't a Knight, but a Tier 7 Sentinel Enforcer of Watchmen Path. The Knight Path and Watchmen Path belong to the Guard Regiment. The guards that protect the nobility came from them. It was one of their main roles in the city. What the nobles called "Glorious Purpose". That's why even though Scout Regiment has the most riskier and difficult jobs. It was the Guard Regiment that had the most budget. After all, the higher-ups or management were composed mostly of nobles. They would prioritize their safety over some exploration outside.

Nolan watched as Rudy, one of Tier 8 Alleyway Avengers of Watchmen Path used a scimitar to behead a Tier 8 vampire. Then there was Marcel, a Tier 9 Suburban Shadow of Watchmen Path released metal wires on his finger to block a Tier 9 vampire spear.

"Meliodas, don't wait for them to get killed. I need as much manpower as I can."

Meliodas, the only Tier 7 Sentinel Enforcer on his team nodded. Then, he spread his hand to enforce his abilities. Golden beam of light pierce blasted the heads of the vampires in one fell swoop.

Sentinel Enforcer has simple active ability. Energy Manipulation. Mastery over energy manipulation enables them to generate and project concussive blasts or energy beams for offensive purposes.

'Too powerful!' Nolan's eyelid twitched. The Tier 8 Guards were struggling against the vampires but Meliodas only moved once. The difference between Tier 7 and 8 became apparent in his eyes.
