Chapter 657 Then there was Carnage! (1)
In front of Jacob, a huge glob of blood was swirling, and the corpses of the fox and the wolf were now like dry trees, completely unrecognizable. Blood suction was another ability he had created with blood manipulation.
Looking at the glob was blood swirling in the water, Jacob could feel the rich blood vitality within.
He mused, 'Although I never tried to absorb blood vitality before, since Immortika told me it's possible with the cursed heart, I shouldn't be any problem. The thing is, how should I inject it? Should I drink it directly or try absorbing it by using blood manipulation? Let's try using the blood manipulation since it would be more convenient if I succeeded.'
The next moment, Jacob manipulated the blood glob, and blood threads started to shoot out from it and drilled into his chest, directly towards the cursed heart.
Thereafter, Jacob suddenly felt his dormant cursed heart become active the moment the blood entered his body. The next moment, without doing anything, the cursed heart pulsed as the blood started to course through his heart.
The blood absorption speed also increased as the glob of blood started to shrink at a terrifying speed, and at this moment, Jacob finally felt the cursed heart release a drop of blood into his body.
But he was flabbergasted because around 3% of the blood glob was gone, and the cursed heart only created a single drop of cursed blood. As the glob vanished within a few seconds, Jacob's expression was dark because he only got around 90 drops of cursed blood before the cursed heart became static again.
'This was the blood of beyond unique magic beasts, yet I only got this much blood!! It's far from enough even to create a single runic line. I need at least five times greater than this amount. I really shot myself on foot this time around...' Jacob sighed ruefully as he finally understood just how difficult the Cursed Bone Marrow Amalgamation was going to be.
After lamenting at this fate, his eyes flashed with killing intent, 'I better get started then, and the ocean races just happen to be overly populated. They also didn't know about me, and neither would they think a land dweller would dare to start something like this. Furthermore, the more powerful species I hunt, the more powerful blood vitality I will get. I guess the same rules apply with the descendants of the legendary rank...'
Jacob then collected his arrays, and using the water lightning whale, he told Autarch to lead him towards a remote city in the sturgeon region.
With Autarch's knowledge, he quickly led him toward his destination, a small city with glowing buildings and a population of around 100,000.
However, those who were lucky enough to escape the city met with Jacob and died horribly.
The water started to turn crimson as the killing continued, and powerful magic ripples spread.
'Blood Suction!' Jacob didn't let the blood dilute, so he quickly used blood manipulation to separate the blood from the water and gathered it in front of him.
Jacob didn't know the full range of blood manipulation, but he knew that if there were blood, the blood manipulation would work on it.
Just as he used his ability, his cursed heart raced, and the blood in the water started to gather in front of him. This created a scene of horror as the blood from the city rose, gathering into a glob of blood. It was as if a crimson sun had descended!
Furthermore, Jacob noticed that as he used the blood manipulation, he could sense the blood in the living beings below him. This was like another ability that provided him with a sense that no one with even an ounce of blood could escape from.
As the city was being massacred by Autarch, Jacob was gathering blood, and after the blood glob became over five hundred meters large, Jacob started to absorb it.
But at this moment, Jacob suddenly discovered that now that he was using two blood manipulation abilities together, his hex mana suddenly activated. Not only that but when his hex mana appeared, his blood manipulation suddenly became stronger!
'T-this!' Jacob was shocked and slightly overwhelmed by this discovery and by all the blood being greedily absorbed by the cursed heart.
The blood suction became so strong that not just the blood in the water but also from the corpses began to be sucked in, turning those corpses into dry leaves. Those who were still alive to witness this scene were absolutely horrified, but they didn't get to live to tell the tale!
This was the beginning of a horrible nightmare, a legend of the deep ocean that will soon be known by the ocean races as the 'Blood Carnage Calamity'!
