Chapter 316: The Blood Devil

The red mist and clouds that gathered suddenly became a sphere of blood that pulsed. General Alexandra who activated the skill on the spear who is now Lugh's Incarnate could feel that the energy emanating from the blood sphere is intense.

The pressure that General Alexandra is feeling from the blood sphere is not that new to her because she has experienced someone who exuded the same if not more powerful than the one in front of him. She felt this type of pressure from the hidden guardian of the empire who is said to be the real driving force of the empire.

General Alexandra wanted to leave her current position to check up on the rest of the imperial army but the situation in front of her begs to differ. The blood sphere finally started shrinking until it became six feet in diameter and morphing to a humanoid form.

The humanoid form started forming to that of a woman with bat wings and an arrow pointed tail. At first the body is blood red but then distinguishable features suddenly started forming. General Alexandra tried attacking the woman before she perfectly revived but her attacks just bounced off as if she was invulnerable during the process.

[The Blood Devil Sanguina has been fully revived but she has yet to completely regain her demigod powers.]

The Blood Devil Sanguina could be described as very endowed and is naturally alluring. Her skin tone is pinkish while her dress could only be likened to a fit gown and blood red gloves. Her horns also comes out of her head and is also sharing the red theme.

She let out a yawn as if she just woke up from a deep sleep but her senses say otherwise. After yawning, she immediately sent a piercing gaze towards the imperial general. The blood devil disappeared from her location in a puff of red smoke and reappeared just in front of General Alexandra while smiling.

The blood devil with her scythe in hand clashed with the lance of the imperial general. Their battle created shockwaves that made the others stay away. It seems that with the Lugh's Incarnate skill, the general could go toe to toe with an actual demigod despite being weakened.

The blood devil wanted to attack the weaker ones in order to replenish her strength but this slightly stronger insect is blocking her from her intentions. The fight dragged on with the both of them that it already lasted for hours.

Adrian and the others returned to the citadel with the Undead King. Adrian took his time to heal his wounds and to summon his soulbounds. He immediately wanted to return to the battlefield in order to kill steal the undead demigod.

"You are actually not thinking of getting back in that confusing and chaotic situation." Levin Cloud asked as he stopped healing Adrian.

"I think that the weapon that the undead demigod is using is actually one of my psyche armaments. If the undead demigod gets killed without me participating and the empire gets the psyche armament then it would be another headache." Adrian replied.

"If you are that adamant about it then I will help you. You did help me with my quest after all even though it has yet to be completed because a church has yet to be built." Levin Cloud stated as he stood up and also helped Adrian do so.

"Thanks for the help but you need to be here to help Morte. The remnants of the Church of Death are drawn towards him. He is acting like a beacon of light that they follow. You need to be here if you want your class change to happen." Adrian stated as he took Levin Cloud's hand to stand up.

"If you say so. You either think of an ingenious plan to succeed or think of a terrible plan that gets you killed straight away. Good luck because you will need it." Levin Cloud stated as he healed some of the injured undead using his heals powered by his death energy.

"I would join you Champion Equinox but Du'an is worried about the prince while I need to protect the prophet. If the imperial army was not in the way then the death of that Arch Lich would have been much easier." The Undead King stated in gloomy voice.

"Since the Imperial Army has already intervened that means our kind can also intervene. I guess I will have to convince the elders to join the battle. The Arch Lich did revive someone that should not have been revived." Adrian stated but he was stopped by the Undead King as he was about to tear apart a teleportation scroll.

"You do not need to tell them because they have been watching the war unfold. They should be after the Arch Lich just about now but I heard that reviving an undead demigod sprouted a fair share of troubles. It seems some hidden powers are also looking to do the same which is why they cannot join us at this point in time." The Undead King told Adrian what was reported to him.

"I guess I should focus on getting that scythe then." Adrian muttered to himself as he teleported to the location of the fight between the undead demigod and the imperial army general.

====

Adrian teleported about a hundred meters above the location appear out of view. He spread his wings out to get a better view of the battle and he could only describe it as terrain changing. The trees all fell down, large craters forming and there was even traces of a meteor falling upon the battlefield.

He looked towards the direction of the fight between the undead demigod and the imperial general but he was shocked because the general was no longer fighting an undead. The woman who looks like a devil though is still emanating some miasma that was the same of the undead demigod.

"Is this its second phase?" Adrian thought as he looked around the battlefield.

The soldiers and priests that are supporting the imperial general looked incredibly tired. Adrian left for two hours so this means that they were fighting exactly two hours at least. It is actually a great feat that some of them could still stand despite the prolonged battle. Even Adrian could only battle someone for an hour before his stamina completely depletes assuming they are in the same level.

"The imperial general might have activated her trump card but the devil woman she is fighting has yet to break a sweat. It seems that she is only holding up due to the effects of the domain." Adrian observed as he tried touching the golden lights which is the effect of the Holy Sanctuary Domain.

The blood devil Sanguina wanted to end this farce as he has yet to fully revive. She knew that without enough blood would make her revert back to her undead self as the skill effect will disappear once she runs out of supply.

"Blood Reap!" The Blood Devil Sanguina stated as her scythe became twice the size and had a crimson glow. She then hit the imperial general with all the strength that she could muster thereby heavily injuring her opponent.

The imperial general is now riddled with wounds and the priests are doing their best to treat her but the fatigue finally took a toll on her body. The skill Lugh's Incarnate wore off and a huge strain suddenly assaulted the senses of the imperial general.

"That was a good performance but I already got bored. I better eat as much as I can to truly revive." The Blood Devil Sanguina stated as her expression became that of a bloodthirsty murderer.

Adrian saw this and was about to act when he noticed a female paladin walk up towards the devil woman. Adrian thought that the female paladin would use a sacrificial skill to at least seal the devil woman but was shocked when wings emerged from the back of the female paladin. Upon Adrian's closer inspection, the female paladin is actually a paladin of the Church of Light.

"Let us see the power of the angels that the Church of Light has in secret. I wonder what excuse they would use to justify their paladin growing a pair of angelic wings. We all know that he 'humans' fear others that are vastly different from them." Adrian though as he saw the transformation of the female paladin to an angel.

Adrian readied himself to absorb any stray attacks from the both of them. After all he still wanted to be the one who gains a lot from this battle. He is also observing one of the priests of the Church of Light from his location. Adrian could feel the same energy that the female angel is giving off from the Church of Light priest that is tending the imperial general.

"Oh! From the looks of it she is a player. I wonder how she got her race change. Angels are said to be very picky and tend to look down on others." Adrian thought as he scattered imaginary mirrors on the battlefield to observe each angle. A feature that he greatly appreciates as the mirror has no basic attack or cannot be use to bash someone.
