Just like the bloodline soul of divine flames, a magic rune appeared on the ground, swirling fast around him and soon becoming smaller.
Then a red ball of light fell on them, turning the whole rune to a deadly red color, and soon the rune was absorbed by his body, becoming one with him.
In the presence of the Ling clan ladies, this transformation took place, and the force emitted from his body made it impossible for others to come any closer while he was doing it.
The force was so strong that he pushed many things away. Matriarch Ling even had to hold on to a stagnant object to maintain her balance during this process.
Meanwhile, the transformation started taking place.
His eyes turned blood red at once, and a blood-crafted mask formed over his face.
From his skin, blood-red scales started forming, as well as thick blood-energy armor over his clothes.
Unfortunately, he could not grow wings like in the devil of divine flame bloodline soul transformation, but the scale was enough to cover the absence of that.
Liam had a smile on his face. In the bond state (as a blood manipulator), he was able to control his sanity, unlike the divine flame.
He gave the matriarch a thumbs up before transforming into a wisp of blood energy and disappearing from the small room.
The power he sent out made matriarch Ling fall butt-first to the ground, gasping for breath.
"He is a demon!"
Meanwhile, outside.
Xavier, holding his sword, and Galen, burning with rage and also armed with his innate weapon, were waiting outside already.
The crest on the chests of the three female generals on the battle field proved their identities as Ling clan warriors, thus causing Galen to burn even more in rage.
"Handover the scroll immediately." He let out a tone of intense anger.
"The scroll is in safe hands; we can't hand it to you." One of them gave an answer that he wasn't willing to listen to at this moment.
"If you don't want to give it out willingly, then I guess I'll make you do it forcefully. Take this," he said.
He grabbed his spear and pressed a button, causing the spear to be divided into two parts of equal size.
He held his weapon tightly and attacked one of the generals. Xavier did the same, summoning his sword and clashing with another of the generals while keeping an eye out on the battlefield and searching for his brother.
Clang, clang
The sound of the weapons clashing against each other was frightening; it carried a strong force along with it that sent dust flying everywhere.
Just at that moment, arrows started flying into the battlefield.
Xavier's eyes widened, and Galen gritted his teeth in rage and created a distance between them, then he formed a shield with essence and held it up to block the fallen arrows.
"Galen, what are we going to do?" Xavier was worried; they did not come with their soldiers, and thus right now they are being overpowered by Numbers.
'
"Don't worry, I didn't leave without a proper plan on the ground."
Galen said with a smile.
Just then, arrows started raining from another direction, against that of the Ling clan.
Soon, the soldiers appeared dressed in many styles and colors of uniforms.
"This isn't our family's army."
"Nah, they are our allies from numerous clans." hearing that Xavier nodded his head.
The three generals were shocked by the number of enemies that had appeared against them.
Galen and Xavier walked toward the soldiers, who numbered more than two thousand, and he gave his command for the soldiers to attack.
Just then a being appeared; it was like a statue made out of hot blood, only that it was moving.
Liam looked at the battlefield with a smile on his face, and right now he really felt his hands itching him.
All he wanted now was to run into the battlefield and fight till his heart is content with everything.
Without waiting, he placed energy in his leg and charged at the soldiers from numerous clans.
"Attack. Kill that demon." The generals from the other clans triggered their soldiers to attack Liam.
'Very good.' Liam let out a breath inside.
The soldiers with their various war equipment did not hesitate, even for a brief moment, before attacking him.
To them, he was a demon that the Ling clan has signed a contract with to take care of them; even if they fight or don't fight, the demon will still attack them.
Liam closed the distance with the first soldier; he used his fingers to click on the chest area of that person, demobilizing him and sucking out all his energy. The soldier went "lifeless" and fell on the ground.
Just then, two soldiers swung their swords at his face. He raised his right hand to carry the force of the attack, and then he used his other hand to strike at different points of their bodies, causing them to lose their powers and feeling their lives leave them as they fell on the ground.
After one minute, more than 100 soldiers were down on the ground.
Liam's system showed that he has leveled up once again.
The energy he has absorbed from the battlefield has also made his essence cultivation increase to level 3 in the human lord realm, which was incredible.
The onlookers were fearful, and although Xavier felt a bit of connection with this slayer, he still has this feeling of dread that he didn't let out openly but let it stay in his heart.
Galen gritted his teeth. The Ling clan was a clan of women, but now they were using a male demon to fight in battle.
Meanwhile, matriarch Ling watched from inside and was very fearful as well.
After transforming in her presence, she felt his power increase.
But right now, even in the middle of battle, his strength was more than she had imagined.
She could not help but break into sweat thinking of how her clan would have been right now if Liam was their enemy.
'',
After almost an hour, everyone was down except Galen and Xavier.
The two of them were the strongest, but they refused to go onto the battlefield.
Liam watched with a certain look in his eyes; he wondered why they didn't come to fight him.
So he tried to trigger their rage by sending several blood darts flying toward them. The two of them used their weapons to fight and deflect the attack.
As for him, there was no stopping; he charged towards them and used the same finger technique on them, causing them to fall to the ground.
He bent down and whispered something into their ears, causing the brothers to shiver.
Liam then stood on his feet and proceeded toward the Ling clan with a strange smile on his face.
"My part of the deal is completed already; hand over my reward immediately."
Matriarch Ling was shivering; after seeing his battle technique level up, she felt that her wisdom wouldn't save her anymore.
She rushed inside and proceeded toward the box; she removed the formation, and then she passed the legacy flute to him.
[Legacy flute obtained. Proceeding with the details containing the jade flute and the method of obtaining its bloodline soul [Remaining time: 2 hours]
Seeing that the details weren't out yet, Liam sighed and placed it in his inventory.
Then he walked over to the soldiers on the Gregor family side and placed both hands over them; all of them started turning snorty as they were sucked into his hands.
Matriarch Ling was fearful of this, and right now there was no longer a reason for Liam not to turn against them.
After he was done with what he was doing, Liam cracked his muscles and looked toward the Ling clan soldiers.
"Deactivate bond with manipulator bloodline soul; initiate bond with devil flame bloodline." "
[Deactivating Bond (Blood Manipulator)...]
Liam returned to how he was before, and the Ling clan women sighed in relief, thinking they were free from the clutches of death.
But then his body was covered with a golden flame that soon formed an armor around his body.
The flame also condensed into a golden bat wing that spouted from his back.
After the transformation was complete, Liam discovered that his control over himself was greater than before.
After learning of this, he proceeded toward the Ling clan women with a deadly look on his face.
"Flee and take cover immediately." The Ling clan generals gave commands to lower ranks as they started fleeing with the matriarch in their midst and the scroll in her grasp.
"You can't run more than I, who can fly." Liam took off into the air and pursued after them, arriving close to the first one.
Then, he pierced her chest with his clawed hands from behind, and his hand grabbed her beating heart and brought it out.
Then, with an evil smile, his mouth was wide open as he let the heart fall inside his mouth.
