NOVEL NEXT Chapter 87: He, isn't running away?
The Blood Clan figure was stunned again - he hadn't seen the scene he had expected.
Sivis was still the same expression, still in a cheerful mood as before.
The Blood Clan figure saw-
Vikalina, after being pushed back, still wanted to charge in again, but the remaining Evil God's aura was suffocating her, and her face was a bit grim.
Without the protection of the Flame of Salvation, she had finally been affected!
That was the reasonable situation.
But Sivis still looked completely unaffected.
Even if the Blood Clan figure was slow-minded, he could feel something was wrong.
He didn't have time to think too much - the duration of the Holy Blood was limited, and it could only last about ten seconds.
"No matter what tricks you're pulling, it means nothing in the face of absolute power!"
The Blood Clan's face was cold.
He quickly lunged at Sivis. In an instant, he had become a blur.
His speed was beyond the reaction of ordinary humans - all that could be seen was a red figure flickering slightly.
Vikalina's face was full of fear, and she shouted, "No!"
She hadn't yet recovered from the emotion of sacrificing herself, and was still a bit stunned, not knowing why the flames on her body had gone out.
Vikalina just saw Sivis about to be hit by the enemy, with nowhere to run.
She was suppressed by the Evil God's aura and had no protection from the Flame of Salvation - she couldn't possibly catch up now!
And the Blood Clan was a race that was extremely skilled in fast attacks.
The female knight could only watch in despair as the attack approached Sivis, inch by inch.
Then, Sivis suddenly dodged, and shot backward at high speed.
He activated the acceleration effect of the Hurricane Spell.
Sivis's speed wasn't enough to match the Blood Clan who had taken the Holy Blood.
But this time, the figure was extremely brutal, trying to strike down from above and split Sivis in two. The attack landed in empty space at an extremely fast speed, directly shattering the sewer floor and splashing sewage several meters high.
Sivis had already successfully dodged.
This speed left both the female knight and the Blood Clan figure in shock. This was clearly not the power of an ordinary human.
Even with magical acceleration, it didn't make sense!
At the very least, it would take an acceleration ability from someone at the Silver-Rank level to do this!
But Sivis was only at the Bronze-Rank, right?
Vikalina was extremely confused. She had spent so much time with Sivis, and even if he had tried to hide it, it was impossible for her to miss it.
In their daily interactions, when they touched, the female knight could feel that her companion was definitely at the human level. How could he have this kind of ability?
Could it be some kind of magical item?
The female knight and the Blood Clan figure reacted the same way.
But what did it matter?
Vikalina and the Silver-Rank Blood Clan didn't take this missed strike too seriously.
In their minds, Sivis couldn't possibly have broken through the Silver-Rank.
That meant there was no chance of survival!
But it was precisely this dodge that made a little hope rise in Vikalina's heart. She forced herself to stand up under the divine pressure and rushed forward.
Sivis's face was calm.
As a long-time player of Gandanyir, he could easily deduce the Blood Clan's situation — they had used a very special Evil God enhancement item.
"The Blood Clan is using Holy Blood, which can maintain an enhancement for over ten seconds."
"Under the blessing of Holy Blood, all of his attacks will be accompanied by divine power amplification, and his attributes will also see a significant boost. Theoretically, he should be unbeatable at the Silver-Rank level, and Vikalina is no match for him."
Sivis analyzed everything clearly.
As a player, he also knew the weakness of Holy Blood - the enhancement mainly focused on the attack effect [Divine] and a small amount of attribute boost.
A normal person hit by the Blood Clan under Holy Blood enhancement would definitely die from the divine effect.
But the attribute boost from the Holy Blood wasn't that extreme. It was completely possible to just endure the time and wait for the effect to end.
According to normal logic, Sivis should have broken through the Silver-Rank right now.
With divine power support, he could feel a constant flow of power in his body, and all of his magical effects were greatly enhanced. His output was at an explosive level. Even using the Bronze-Rank Holy Swordsmanship, he could easily kill the Blood Clan in front of him.
His way of breaking through was powered by divine power, which effectively pushed his talent to the theoretical limit!
Sivis would dominate any Silver-Rank at his level!
The attribute boost from the Holy Blood?
It was probably about the same as Sivis's base attributes.
That meant the Blood Clan wasn't only at the Silver-Rank level - they had to have higher ranks to have such speed and strength.
But Sivis didn't care about any of that.
He didn't want to be some novel protagonist.
No need for being chased for ages, breaking through, breaking the momentum, reversing the situation, and flexing - that perfect routine.
Just a moment ago, he had gotten excited because he could absorb various Evil God divine powers, thinking he was the chosen one.
Now? He still had to back down when necessary!
The safest tactic was to wait until the Holy Blood effect on the Blood Clan wore off. Then, either him or Vikalina could easily take down the enemy. Why fight to the death now?
At this moment, clashing with the Blood Clan, even if Sivis had the Holy Swordsmanship that could counter the opponent, it would be a stalemate.
He also had divine power in his body, but he couldn't use it for active attacks. However, passive defense against the divine power effects from Holy Blood was still possible.
But if the attack wasn't blocked, and it hit both of their bodies directly, the divine power effect from Holy Blood might not affect Sivis, but the Blood Clan's enhanced physical condition would still be enough to seriously hurt him.
Sivis could kill the enemy in an instant, but he would also get seriously injured!
Minnet City was still in the grip of the blood plague, which was extremely dangerous. Sivis had to stay in top condition.
Plus, after absorbing the Blood Clan's blood piercing, he had started to gradually control the Blood Clan's power. He could now grant himself and his subordinates the ability to ignore the blood plague, but this effect only worked against the plague spread by the Blood Servants.
Sivis had to reach at least the fourth rank of Silver-Rank to further improve his control over the Blood Clan's power. That meant, if he was hit by the Blood Clan, he would still get infected!
If he got infected and drew the attention of the God of the Blood Sea, he was a dead man.
Even though Sivis thought he had a good chance of winning by just attacking directly, he still unhesitatingly chose to run - and even shouted to Vikalina at the same time.
"We should retreat first! "
But then, Sivis's expression changed.
He hadn't expected that the two people on the scene had made a decision he couldn't accept - Vikalina, under the suppression of divine power, was trying to trigger the Fire of Sacrifice again.
Unfortunately, the state of being profaned by the God of the Blood Sea was still with her. The flame only flared up slightly before dying out again, but that brief moment gave her a chance to catch her breath.
Vikalina rushed forward at amazing speed, raising her knight's lance and shouting angrily, "Don't touch him! "
"Don't ~ Touch ~ Him! "
The female knight shouted twice in a row.
The light on her body looked like wings!
The Blood Clan figure's eyes flashed with cruelty. "Enough! "
He looked at Vikalina, and his killing intent was clearly visible.
After Vikalina released Flame of Salvation for the second time, her ability to move was also limited.
"If I don't do anything, she'll keep interfering with me. "
"Then, I'll just kill you first! "
At first, the Blood Clan figure wanted to kill Sivis first and reclaim the Blood Shackles. After being repeatedly blocked, he was completely enraged and turned into a streak of blood, rushing toward Vikalina!
This attack was even more terrifying than the one aimed at Sivis before.
After all, the female knight was at the Silver-Rank level, and the figure wasn't being careless.
He unleashed his full power, and a series of blood-formed blades materialized from the air. Within a few breaths, at least dozens of sharp blades were already aimed at the female knight.
Vikalina struggled for a short time, but she was quickly suppressed by the divine presence, making it hard for her to move. Though she wasn't completely immobile, she didn't have enough time or speed to dodge this overwhelming attack.
Sivis, from the distance, was completely stunned!
With the help of the divine effects, this attack was enough to tear her apart!
Vikalina didn't show much reaction. She struggled forward, and her body glowed with light.
As the heir to the Holy Flame spear of the Church, she had undergone countless grueling trainings. Of course, she could judge the current situation - with the current power the Blood Clan was unleashing, he could easily kill both her and Sivis.
Vikalina made a choice that matched her style - she used her life to delay just a little more time.
Her face was calm, but there was a hint of regret in her eyes. She had already made up her mind, vowed to sacrifice her life, and even received the true inheritance of the Spear of Holy Flame from a thousand years ago.
She had succeeded in protecting Sivis.
And now, it all fell apart at the last moment.
"It's a shame. " Vikalina was full of frustration in her heart.
For most people, being in such an impossible situation might drive them insane.
But Vikalina just pressed forward with determination.
The Blood Clan's surprise attack was too short for her to feel too much sorrow. Her body reacted on instinct before her mind could fully process it!
"Die! "
The figure finally got what he wanted - that weak bastard Sivis, who wasn't even Extraordinary, but had always been a thorn in his side, forcing him to use precious Holy Blood just to reclaim the Blood Shackles -
He finally showed a look of fear and panic!
"It's too late. Don't worry, I'll kill your 'lover' first, then I'll make you feel real pain. "
The Blood Clan's previous strike was aimed directly at Sivis, but if he could eliminate Vikalina first, and then wait for the Holy Blood effect to wear off, he could do anything he wanted to the only one who couldn't fight back - the ordinary human!
As for the issue of the other person ignoring the divine presence, the Blood Clan thought he could just interrogate them later.
Just as the countless blood-formed blades were about to pierce Vikalina's body, the female knight had already accepted her death, only hoping to gain a little more time.
At most…
She called out to the deity in her heart, praying for a miracle that would let Sivis escape.
At that moment, the Blood Clan suddenly saw Sivis burst out with an eerie speed again.
"Still want to run? Doesn't matter. Where are you going in this sewer? I've already mobilized all the Blood Servants in the city to hunt you down. If you can escape…"
The Blood Clan's words stopped abruptly.
