Chapter 468 Clash Of Giants And Toz (6)

Name:Elemental Cats Author:
The Blood Fiend was an amalgamation of all the blood that had been spilled on the battlefield over the years that the war had been fought. That was what the Tribe of Blood had been doing deep below ground. They had gathered all the blood and the plane's mana to conjure the Blood Fiend and make sure that it ended the battle with the Tribe of Blood as the final victors.

With the mana of half a plane and the blood of all the fallen combatants, the Blood Fiend's power naturally surpassed the Flesh Golem that had only been made from the remains of a single battle. So, it was understandable that the Blood Fiend had reached the same strength as a transcendent. It still lacked a certain qualitative change to its demonic energy. But the Blood Fiend was undeniably as strong as a mage at the transcendent level due to how much demonic energy it had. There was also how easy it was for the Blood Fiend to use it due to how its body was magic.

The Blood Fiend was entirely composed of blood, so even if it had a face, the face was merely three holes, and it was impossible to tell what its facial expressions meant. But the overwhelming malice pouring out of it was more than enough for anyone to tell that the Blood Fiend was about to kill everything and everyone in its sight. And it wouldn't let anyone escape.

Kahglia looked at the Flesh Golem and Death Knight.

"Truce?"

The two servants of death exchanged a glance before nodding.

"You're not retreating yet, are you?"

"No way. Things are just getting exciting."

"Toz responded confidently to Kahglia's taunt. But he couldn't help but feel a little worried. The last time he went up against a transcendent, he had been completely trounced by Yill. Of course, he didn't know the strength difference between the Blood Fiend and Yill, so the Blood Fiend could actually be weaker. It was just that Yill had hidden her strength. So, it could just as well be the opposite. The Blood Fiend was stronger than Yill.

If the Blood Fiend actually were stronger than Yill, it wouldn't matter that Toz had broken through to the seventh level.

But while his spine tingled in alarm, Toz didn't feel like the Blood Fiend was stronger than Yill. If it were, it wouldn't be leaking so much blood attribute demonic energy just by existing. It also didn't feel like he was in mortal danger. Though, his senses regarding that might have grown dull after dancing with death several times in less than a day.

"All right, you three grapple with it, and I'll lay down cover fire. It's leaking demonic energy like a broken ship. If we can outlast it, we'll win. Probably."

The Flesh Golem and Death Knight were a little uncomfortable taking orders from Toz. But it wasn't as if they could do anything about it since they didn't have any better ideas. And it would be better to move as quickly as possible before the Blood Fiend could snag the initiative.

Kahglia was curious about Toz's remark that the Blood Fiend was leaking, but they were in the middle of charging toward the Blood Fiend. Questions could and would come after they win.

Kahglia, the Flesh Golem, and the Death Knight led the charge toward the Blood Fiend while Toz stayed slightly behind them and began building up an array of Fireballs that hovered in the air behind him as he filled them with mana. He activated his blanket method so that he wouldn't run out of mana as quickly as he continued charging the Fireballs.

Right before Kahglia and the other two struck the Blood Fiend, Toz sent his first volley toward the Blood Fiend's upper body, the shoulders, and head, primarily.

As a being made solely from blood, the Blood Fiend probably didn't suffer the same fatal weaknesses as other humanoids did, in that the head and heart were fragile and would kill most people if either were destroyed. However, since the three giants attacked the Fiend's lower body, toz didn't want to accidentally get them caught up in the rain of fire that his Fireballs unleashed.

However, it turned out to be a mostly needless worry. Despite being Fireballs that Toz had put quite a bit of effort into making, the Blood Fiend's body quenched almost all of them as soon as they came in contact with and entered its body.

The giants' attacks weren't any different. Kahglia's and the Flesh Golem's fists hit the Blood Fiend's legs and sent a few drops of blood splattering without dealing any significant amount of damage. The Death Knight's sword cut through the surface of the Blood Fiend's leg like a knife through water, and it did as much damage as the knife did to the water.

All of their attacks were basically useless against the Blood Fiend. And the battle looked like a lost cause before it hardly even began. But they didn't have a choice. It was either fight and die or try to flee and die.

The answer was obvious for Toz, Kahglia, the Death Knight, and the Flesh Golem. The Flesh Golem had a limited lifespan from the beginning, so it might as well do its best in the fight against the Blood Fiend. It was a killing machine, after all. And it didn't want to admit defeat in front of the Tribe of Blood's conjured killing machine.

So, even though it looked futile, the three giants and Toz fought against the fourth giant with all they had.

Toz continued amassing power and mana in his Fireballs as he focused on impeding the Blood Fiend's fists that swung down toward Kahglia, the Flesh Golem, and the Death Knight so that they could chip away at the Blood Fiend's foundation.

Toz's fireballs didn't do much in the way of leaving lasting damage on the Blood Fiend, but after a while, they became powerful enough to explode the Blood Fiend's fists and make them useless while the others dodged and continued levying attacks on the Fiend's legs.

But the Blood Fiend didn't even look like it was taking any damage since it regenerated even faster than the Flesh Golem.
