Chapter 39: Knight that should not exist
Lu Yao glanced at the number above the Blood Knight’s head, his smile disappeared and his fists clenched.
Playing XX!
Lv60!?
Is it reasonable for a level 60 boss to appear in the newbie village? What about the dog operators and planners of the simulator? Help, please help!
This is ridiculous!
Lu Yao immediately typed, urging Isabella to retreat from the battle.
However, the battle scene was not as one-sided as Lu Yao had imagined. Isabella was struggling to deal with the Blood Knight, constantly losing health, but still stubbornly resisting.
Her health was constantly decreasing.
-28
-29
-27
For Isabella’s health, this kind of damage was very dangerous.
But Lu Yao felt that something was not right.
He quickly clicked on the Blood Knight and obtained detailed data about this boss.
After taking a screenshot, he immediately told Isabella to retreat.
Fortunately, the Blood Knight was not fast, and it seemed that there was some kind of restriction in the castle, so he couldn’t come out. Isabella, although injured, managed to retreat successfully.
Only then did Lu Yao look at the screenshot.
...

Innately has high HP.

[Mobile Casting]
Casts spells while moving, at the cost of slow speed.
[Corruption Creation]
Creates corruptors with corpses and salt, and the strength of the corruptors depends on the corpses.
[Enchantment Lv25]
Attacks inflict mana damage.
[Flesh Weakness Lv2]
It was like a giant with a fatal point on the back of his head. Even if a unarmed child jumped with all his might, he couldn’t reach the giant’s neck and couldn’t land a hit.
Suddenly, Lu Yao remembered something.
[Skin Peeler’s Idol Lv3]A treasure made by the Skinners. It can initiate the Beastification Ritual, seizing the sanity, cognition, and memory of the living sacrifice through a gaze, turning them into a powerful skinned beast in exchange for the faith power bestowed by the Skinners.
Can this thing be used?
"..."
Isabella pondered for a while: "Sir, I can try to activate the statue."
After a brief rest, Isabella once again rushed into the castle.
This time she lasted about ten seconds before retreating again.
Because Isabella’s health had further dropped to a mere 63 points, there was no room for trial and error.
However, this attempt was significant.
A negative status [Skinner’s Curse] appeared above the Blood Knight’s head.
A text message emerged.
[The Statue of the Skinner has deprived the sacrifice, the Skinner grants you 100 faith.]
Only then did Lu Yao understand that the real power mechanism of the [Statue of the Skinner] was the curse of another god, the Skinner, behind it.
Every god is indeed not easy to deal with.
However, using the Skinner’s treasure against the minions of the Whistleblower seemed quite appropriate.
Although the [Skinner’s Curse] didn’t seem to have any effect on the Blood Knight in a short time, Lu Yao decided to intensify his efforts and further mentally pollute the Blood Knight.
Anyway, he was not in a hurry.
In the following week, Lu Yao and the Blood Knight were at odds.
Apart from occasionally glancing at the Garlic Tribe and Ghost City Sanilo, most of his attention was in the castle of the Salt Pool Tribe.
After numerous patient attempts, Isabella finally completed the task.
Under the continuous effect of the [Skinner’s Curse] buff, constantly gazing at the sculpture, even the LV60 Blood Knight could not exempt the influence of the Beastification Ritual.
He became more and more bizarre.
During the battle with Isabella, the Blood Knight would shout some incomprehensible words.
"Flesh, your flesh!"
"Woman, terrifying woman, beautiful woman, suspicious woman!"
"Hunger, like a shadow."
"I want to sleep, I need to sleep!"
"Desire is burning, scorching me!"
"God of the forest, Whistleblower, corpses, bones, foreigners..."
The mentally disordered Blood Knight began to see all living creatures around him as enemies.
Whether it was Isabella or other corruptors, anyone who got slightly close to the Blood Knight would be attacked. Since he had become mad, he no longer used his various abilities, only resorting to primitive physical attacks.
Seeing this, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s not a waste of my time, this boss is finally almost mad... He can no longer issue various commands to the corruptors.
In this way, the Salt Pool Tribe, with the Blood Knight at its core, was no longer a threat.
