Chapter 301: Battle at the Ship

Aarrrghhhh!!!!

Loud screams containing an indescribable horror and trepidation echoed through the air as everyone's eyes caught the figure of the transforming monstrosity standing before them. Their thoughts went awry for a moment as they tried to comprehend… whatever that was in front of them right now.

"What the hell is that thing?!!"

"Shit! That's a fucking monster!!"

"What the hell are you guys waiting for?! Shoot it!! Fire! Fire!!"

"Do not fire! I repeat!! Do not fire your weapons!"

"Stow away your firearms and attack it using your melee weapon!"

"Leader! That thing is an abomination!"

"Just follow the order, trooper!!"

"Sir, yes Sir!!"

Chaos ensued among the space troopers as their mentality was shaken by the unanticipated monstrosity. Some who were terrified enough even accidentally fired their weapons and hit their companions. Fortunately, the space troopers only received minor and moderate wounds at most. 

On the other hand, Captain Jenkins was still in shock seeing the sight in front of him. It was evident that the elf had taken them by surprise, and succeeded on it. The act of breaking the glass pane had caused turbulence and air vacuum that took away their balance.

Now that they had lost the ability to aim at their exact target because of the current environment within the spaceship, it would be too dangerous for them to shoot aimlessly lest they result in another friendly fire or worse hitting the power engine. Hence, he immediately ordered the troopers to not use their firearms.

Jenkins' face was grim as he knew the situation was far from over. In fact, he was right; it had just started.

First, it was the red dragon that broke through the glass pane and entered the spaceship; the cause of their current predicament. Even though it was small, its flight was extremely fast and strength couldn't be underestimated. He could only barely see its shadow before it crashed into several space knights.

The dragon, naturally, immediately got ganged up and pummeled by the group of space knights. 

Narra, as the proud Bloodgem Dragon she was, was able to withstand their assault. She even sent a few more space knights flying in the process, straight to the walls.

The next troublesome thing was the elf. 

At first, he thought of nothing about the saint level elf that boarded his ship. After all, what could a mere saint level elf do against his hundred elite troops?

Unfortunately, he had been continuously slapped on the face by the things the elf displayed ever since the beginning.

The elf had a kind of strange magic that covered him in a large amount of blood and actually transformed himself into some kind of blood creature, granting him an unbelievable prowess to boot.

In the matter of seconds, the monstrosity had clawed its way past the space knight's defensive formation. As he entered the ranks of the space knights, the elf didn't even show the slightest bit of hesitation before he started to run amok and wreak havoc.

Each and every attack he delivered could easily cut through the famed power armor suit and kill the space knight inside. The elf even bit one of the fallen space knights' head off as if it was an apple.

It was a massacre, at its finest depiction.

The sight of body pieces scattered and blood splattered everywhere quickly unnerved the other space knights and troopers, causing them to subconsciously take a few steps back away from the source of the sight before them.

However, they quickly realized that retreat was not an option for the space knights.

"Kill it!! Kill whatever that thing is!!" shouted one of the five space knight squad leaders. The man didn't even wait for his companions before he dashed to attack Tristan in his [Blood Legacy] form.

He tightly grasped the tier 3 artifact in his hand [Lightning Spear] as he searched for an opening on Tristan. The moment he saw it, he immediately grabbed the opportunity and bravely jumped toward the back of the monstrous red creature.

"DIE!! You ugly creature!!" He yelled as he sent all the strength he could muster to the spear in his hand, sending it to the creature's back.

"AAARGGHH!!" A somewhat muffled, pain-filled scream was heard from the red creature's mouth as the spear embedded itself onto its back.

Tristan, who should be completely encased by the ability, was certainly feeling the stinging pain, especially when the lightning current the spear carried entered his back upon its insertion. He immediately tried to send the space knight flying from his back, only for the man to push the spear even deeper into his body.

This space knight squad leader was troublesome indeed.

Eventually, Tristan decided to activate the innate ability of [Blood Legacy]. 

In an instant, half a dozen long, razor-sharp, blood-constructed tentacles appeared on his monstrous body and quickly pierced the squad leader on his back. More tentacles began to pierce the man's back before he was pulled away from the back he desperately hanged onto and split apart like a crab dinner.

Blood splattered and painted all the space knights around, once again stunned a few of them, but quickly enraged the rest of them as well. Tristan was startled to see these armored troops didn't care about their lives as they all rushed at him with weapons completely brandished and killing intent apparent to see.

They managed to land a few slashes and stabs to his body as there was no way for Tristan to completely stop them all, in spite of his new addition of tentacles.

While the space knights were giving their best to kill him, Tristan decided to study his current situation. Even though it looked like he was bleeding from the space knights' attacks, except for the pain, their attacks didn't actually injure him, much less kill him.

On the other hand, his blood claws whose fingers were as long and sharp as a tier 3 artifact were able to cut through the power armor with ease, severing the space knights who surrounded him in their way. There were also his tentacles that kept hindering and obstructing the approaching space knights.

Each time his attack went through, one space knight would fall and Tristan would be able to extract their Blood Essence, replenishing his reserve. Even though he didn't have enough time to completely extract the Blood Essence from the dead bodies as he was still in the middle of a heated battle, each drop of Blood Essence was able to satisfy his urge for blood.

RROOOAAARR!!!
