Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start

Chapter 39: One Strike Suppression



In the briefest of moments, Reina had no time to think about why Sivis was standing still, why he wasn't even attempting to flee. She could only keep pleading, praying that what was about to unfold wouldn't be as terrifying as she feared...

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Sivis as his expression shifted. He felt the energy within him surging.

He had broken through again!

With the constant infusion of Extraordinary Dark Power, his strength had grown even further.

Among the ranks of Bronze, Silver, and Gold, the Ninth and Tenth Tiers were unique. After breaking through the Tenth Tier, one had to prepare for the next stage of advancement.

Those without talent often became stuck at the Tenth Tier, unable to advance.

A breakthrough from the Ninth to the Tenth Tier meant reaching complete perfection at the current stage, but it also required breaking through three smaller bottlenecks—from the early Ninth Tier to the mid-tier, then to the peak.

A few moments ago, under the influence of the Extraordinary Dark Power, Sivis had already reached the early Ninth Tier.

During his interaction with Reina and the confrontation with the Blood Servants, more Extraordinary Dark Power had suddenly surged into his body, quickly boosting his strength to the mid-Ninth Tier!

This small leap in tier had raised both his power and magical output to a whole new level.

Unfortunately, this was the limit of his current breakthrough. Even with the continued infusion of Extraordinary Dark Power, he couldn't progress any further. The energy from the resources he had consumed earlier was now completely depleted.

To break through without relying on external energy, he would need to raise his talent level by one tier.

However, for the Blood Servants before him.

His current strength was more than enough—far beyond what was necessary!

Sivis' hand blazed with light, and then, he conjured a massive sword over a meter long and nearly half his width.

In an instant, without a single word, the Blood Servants around him instinctively showed expressions of extreme fear and panic. Even Conning and Flora immediately withdrew their smirking, arrogant faces and quickly retreated.

Holy light didn't necessarily represent justice, but it had a strong conflict with the energy of the Evil Gods, the two forces mutually restraining each other!

The stronger Sivis became, the more explosive the force he could unleash!

He gave a slight twist of his wrist, and the sword's light flashed.

Against the Blood Servants, Holy Swordsmanship cut through them as easily as a hot knife through butter.

Moreover, Sivis' Holy Swordsmanship was powerful enough to reach Silver-tier levels of output.

Any Blood Servant that even slightly touched the sword's light was instantly turned to ash.

Sivis barely expended any magical energy. He simply let the holy sword, formed from the Holy Swordsmanship, circle around his body, and then swung twice, striking at the Blood Servants in the blind spots.

With a series of soft "bangs," the Blood Servants, like balloons, were instantly popped!

The next moment, the faint smoke dissipated, the light faded, and the figures of the Blood Servants vanished completely.

Instant kill!

Sivis made a single strike, and everything was over.

In that one move, he had eliminated more than half of the Blood Servants that had been turned by the Daister family.

From the moment he arrived at the scene and spoke to Reina, to the moment Conning and Flora directed the Blood Servants to attack, and finally to Sivis' decisive strike—it all took less than a few seconds.

Half of the blood plague in the Daister family had already dissipated!

Conning and Flora stared in shock, their faces filled with terror and disbelief.

Their legs trembled uncontrollably, each step backward becoming more and more difficult, but they dared not stop for even a moment.

Flora's lips quivered incessantly, her teeth chattering, and she muttered to herself repeatedly, "Impossible… This can't be… How could he have such immense power…"

Conning's face had drained of color, pale as paper, beads of sweat the size of peas rolling down his face.

His hands trembled as he tried to grab Flora for support but failed repeatedly to catch his companion.

"No… this isn't Sivis' own power, he used a magic scroll!"

"It must be a magic scroll…"

He shouted hoarsely.

In the education Conning and Flora had received, holy light power was reserved for those who were deeply devoted to the Church, and clearly, Sivis didn't meet that standard.

But whether or not it was a magic scroll, both of them were terrified and started to flee!

They didn't dare confront Sivis directly!

All the arrogance they had shown earlier had vanished in an instant!

More than half of the Blood Servants had been wiped out with a single strike!

Conning and Flora had lost all their confidence! If it weren't for the shadowy figure's orders that they must seize the supplies from the warehouse, they might have already fled by now.

Sivis cast a cold glance at them, ignoring the two flustered individuals, and continued to rush toward Reina.

In a few swift steps, he was already standing in front of Reina.

Reina lifted her head, looking at Sivis with tears sparkling in her eyes.

She wanted to say something, her lips trembling, but no sound came out.

Sivis knelt down gently, pulling Reina into his embrace. His voice was soft yet firm. "Don't be afraid, I'm here. You're going to be fine."

As Reina felt her master's warm embrace, the fear and unease in her heart gradually faded away.

She summoned all her remaining strength to raise her hand, attempting to touch Sivis' face, but her arm felt incredibly heavy. Halfway up, it fell limp and weak.

Reina had already reached her limit; she had only managed to keep herself together out of worry for Sivis' safety.

At this moment, the young girl only showed an expression of pure joy.

Her dream had come true.

Sivis had come, and he had saved her!

Although Reina knew she would soon be transformed into a Blood Servant, in the final moments of her life.

The girl had received what she most longed for...

Her consciousness gradually blurred, her eyelids growing heavier. Reina struggled to stay awake, wanting to look at Sivis just a little longer, but her weakened body betrayed her.

Reina's eyes slowly closed, her head resting weakly on Sivis' shoulder as she slipped into unconsciousness.

But…

Her expression was peaceful, with a faint trace of happiness, as if she had drifted into a sweet dream.

At the same time, the pale, sickly blood plague in Reina's body gradually receded, the result of Sivis infusing her with holy light.

"Well, looks like it's finally done."

Sivis said, his face relaxing considerably.

Sivis didn't feel fully relieved until he had infused holy light into Reina's body, confirming that the process of her transformation into a Blood Servant had been halted.

His previous knowledge was based solely on the game mechanics.

Sivis didn't dare to be completely certain that the same principles would apply in reality.

At this moment, the little maid had relaxed, her hand slipping open, and with a soft clink, an alchemical bomb fell into Sivis' palm.

"Hmm?"

"Could it be that Reina used this to protect the warehouse for me earlier?"

Sivis, now realizing the situation, glanced back at the warehouse door behind Reina, surprised to see that it was neither tainted nor damaged.

In that instant, everything became clear to him.

Sivis suspected that after Reina had been infected and turned into a Blood Servant, there was a reason why Flora and Conning hadn't attacked her immediately.

It was because the little maid had been holding an alchemical bomb. While this bomb might not have been powerful enough to kill the agile Blood Servants, it was certainly strong enough to destroy the warehouse behind Reina.

"That means, Conning and Flora's goal must be something inside the warehouse, or rather, the Blood Clan behind them must be after something in there," he thought.

"That's the only explanation for why Reina wasn't torn apart earlier. And it also explains why Conning and Flora's upper limit is likely the Silver-tier Blood Clan."

"Although the alchemical bomb triggers quickly, a Gold-tier Blood Servant, with their superior speed, would easily be able to kill Reina before she could even detonate it, much less be affected by it."

Once he pieced this together, Sivis slowly stood up and positioned himself directly in front of the warehouse.

With a mocking smile on his face, he said, "Long time no see, Conning, Flora."

After saving the maid, Sivis finally greeted the two family members formally.

Seeing his smile, Conning and Flora, who had been somewhat subdued, immediately revealed expressions of violent rage.

"Sivis! Sivis!" They repeated, "You're back to that look again, treating us like fools!"

"It was like this back in the family, and now, with the strength of the Blood Clan, you still dare to act like this!"

"I'm going to kill you, I'm going to make you suffer the same pain we did!"

Conning and Flora's most instinctive anger flared up instantly.

They issued orders: "Charge, kill him, immediately!"

The Blood Servants transformed by the Daister family surged from all directions, once again charging at Sivis.

Conning and Flora continued shouting, "You couldn't possibly have many of those magic scrolls left! This is your end!"

Despite their harsh words, neither of them dared to move forward to attack directly, terrified that Sivis might again unleash that deadly sword of light and strike them down.

However...

The two Blood Servants were soon disappointed.

Sivis casually activated Holy Swordsmanship again.

With his mid-Ninth Tier Bronze strength, casting this spell didn't take much out of him.

As the light burst forth, the second wave of Blood Servants was again cut down in an instant.

But then, Sivis paused, surprised...

This time, he had only slain three Blood Servants, while the others stood at a distance, merely watching, showing no intention of attacking.

Sivis furrowed his brow and glanced at Conning and Flora.

"These two have a bit of cleverness to them, trying to wear me out," he thought.

"Too bad… it's useless."

He sensed that he still had a full three-fifths of his magical energy left, and with the soul point store, Sivis could easily exchange for items to restore his magic...

Consume my energy?

Who can outlast who??

Sivis smiled slightly, then took a step forward.

He heard a shout full of surprise.

"Sivis, I don't believe you have a third magic scroll!"
