Volume 3: The Secret of the Door Chapter 31 Promotion: Blood Prisoner!
Gah! Gah!
Amid the crows' calls, Goethe, who was beginning to advance to the third-level warrior profession [Hellblood], became a little dazed.
When he came to his senses, he was already standing in a sea of corpses and blood.
There were broken limbs everywhere.
The broken flags swayed slightly, the warhorses that had lost their masters neighed softly, and the remaining flames emitted bursts of black smoke.
No one alive!
Goethe could confirm this!
But the battle did not stop!
'He' is still fighting.
The man died, but the horse lived.
Then chop the horse into pieces.
The horses died, and there were carrion crows.
Then chop the crow into pieces.
destroy!
Total destruction!
Any moving creature in front of him became his target of attack.
Goethe wished 'he' would stop.
But it didn't work at all.
Goethe is like a spectator watching a movie; he is not the 'protagonist' at the moment.
"Other people who have been promoted to Berserker have not noticed this illusion."
Goethe believed that the Archduke's family would not conceal such information because of their honesty towards him. The reason they did not tell him was because even they did not know that a Warrior's promotion to Berserker would cause illusions, and that such illusions would continue into the subsequent promotion to Hellblood.
As for the reason?
Of course it was because when he was promoted to [Berserker], he passed the additional judgment: killing a Nimia with his bare hands - although he didn't kill it in the true sense, the magic of [Bloody Honor] made it the same as a real kill!
This makes him stronger when he obtains [Berserker].
It also makes the subsequent [Hellblood] stronger.
Goethe thought as he watched 'him' go crazy.
That’s right!
Just crazy!
When everything in front of him was killed, 'he' began to roar, pounding the ground and chopping trees, as if he wanted to release his endless power.
However, the expanded muscles began to shrink.
That exaggerated size began to shrink.
Goethe could see that he was beginning to run out of steam.
If it continues for a while longer, he will die.
And at this time!
A girl appeared!
An ordinary-looking, even silly-looking girl appeared on the battlefield. She completely ignored his terrifying, mad, bloody and hideous appearance, and just hugged him.
Goethe looked at that silly posture and couldn't help being lost in thought.
He thought of Sheila.
Although Sheila is prettier, she looks very similar to the other in that silly way.
Especially after Xila ate the big chicken leg, the way her eyes narrowed comfortably looked exactly like the other person.
"That guy should be okay?"
Goethe couldn't help thinking.
However, 'he' who was hugged by the girl raised the battle axe in his hand and chopped directly at the girl who was hugging him tightly.
wide awake?
No!
Still a crazy killing!
He doesn't care who it is, as long as they are alive, he will kill them!
Woo!
The battle axe chopped down fiercely with a whistling sound.
The girl was so frightened that her whole body was shaking, but she still held him tightly and didn't let go.
Goethe narrowed his eyes, and his cold gaze was like the cold wind from the north, freezing other people's souls.
'He' stopped.
I shuddered.
Just woke up like this.
'He' looked around blankly, and then found his wife in his arms.
He dropped the battle axe and hugged his wife tightly, with a look of fear on his face. He recalled everything that had just happened and he almost did something that he would deeply regret.
fortunately!
fortunately!
He secretly rejoiced and vowed never to use such power again!
'He' swears!
Then……
A new enemy has appeared.
No!
To be precise, these were 'his own people', a group of noble lords who coveted 'his' achievements and believed that 'he' deserved to die in obscurity, and they showed up with their own personal soldiers.
The ordinary 'he' is no match for these people.
'He' was knocked to the ground and begged for mercy.
However, those people did not want to let him go, and pointed their swords at him and his wife.
What should 'he' do?
Eat the mushrooms, continue fighting, kill these people, but what if...
Indecisive.
The nobles' personal soldiers did not do that, and their arrows fell directly at him and his wife.
'He' no longer hesitated and immediately went to get the mushrooms.
But it's too late.
His speed was too slow, and even if he ate the mushroom, it would not be able to reverse the fact that his wife was about to be shot by an arrow. But just when he was in despair, he suddenly found that his speed had increased.
He ate the mushroom before the arrow hit his wife.
"roar!"
With a deafening roar, he once again became like a little giant, and stood in front of his wife with open arms. The arrows that were deadly just a moment ago now became soft, like a tickle.
He killed the high-ranking
I can't go back to the small town.
'He' fled far away with his wife.
Along the way, another group of noble lords sent out pursuers.
She said it was revenge, but she was always eyeing 'his' power.
It's extremely ugly, and the means used are even more despicable.
'He'd have to be more careful.
Because, 'he' is more than one person.
He narrowly escaped death several times, but he always survived miraculously. He believed that it was his wife who brought him good luck.
In fact?
That's the same.
In order to completely avoid being hunted down, he brought his wife to the depths of the swamp.
What 'he' didn't know was that a dragon was lurking deep within the swamp.
Not only is it huge in size, but it is also poisonous.
His axe hit the opponent, and the splashing blood corroded his body.
However, the final winner is still 'he'!
When his wife was about to be poisoned, flames ignited on his battle axe again, thunder and lightning appeared, and he cut off the dragon's head in one fell swoop.
'He' and his wife are safe.
There are no pursuers.
Although the environment in the deep swamp is harsh, he is confident that he can live happily here with his wife.
“Not bad!”
Looking at his life with his silly wife, Goethe suppressed his envy and jealousy, curled his lips, and gave a hypocritical evaluation.
Obviously just watching.
But Goethe felt exhausted.
'He's just an idiot.
He had to remind.
This is quite energy-consuming, or...
Consume [Bloody Honor]!
Fortunately, the harvest was good.
['Berserker' promoted to 'Hellblood', judging...]

[5. Pierce the body with the 'Golden Horn' and remain immortal for 12 hours (Completed)]
[Additional judgment: Hunt Mandos with bare hands and bathe in his blood (1/1)]
…
The text paused for about three seconds, and then the supplement began to appear -
['Madness' Trial can be replaced by 4 Bloody Honors]
['Golden Horn' Piercing Trial can be replaced by 5 Bloody Honors]
[Bathing in the blood of Mandos can be replaced with 6 bloody honors]
…
[Judgment passed! ]
[Promoted to 'Hellblood'! 】
[Gain inherent attributes of 'heart', 'skill', 'body']
[Heart +1]
[Skill +10]
[Physique +10]
[Judgment is extreme. Promotion, gain additional attributes 'heart', 'skill', 'body']
[Heart +2]

[Ultimate Judgment. Extreme Baptism: Blood Qi Control Upgraded to 'Hell Blood']
…
[Blood Rage VI: Your vigorous blood has been awakened, and your dormant fighting spirit is boiling. Your blood is burning, and your fighting spirit is roaring. At this moment, you burst out with stronger power. Within 20 seconds, your 'body' attribute will be enhanced by 150%, and you will consume a lot of physical strength! ]
[Hell Blood: You have locked up the 'madness' with your powerful will. At the same time, this allows you to more subtly control the 'blood' to obtain better attack and defense. Effect: When you attack and defend with blood, you will have an extra 'mad' level effect. When facing invisible and dead creatures, the extra level will be +1 again.]
(Note: Blood Rage and Hell Blood do not conflict with each other, but using them together will consume extra stamina)
…
Boom, boom!
There came a sound like a war drum in my ears.
Then, it flows like rivers, lakes and seas.
That is,
The sound of blood pumping through his veins.
And a misty air rose continuously from the blood.
By the time Goethe came to his senses, the blood had already covered his entire body.
"Is this [Hell Blood]?"
Goethe raised his hand and looked out a mirror, looking at himself in the mirror, covered in scarlet.
Before he could test the power of [Hell Blood], words continued to pour out before his eyes—
['Physique' exceeds 100, judging...]
[Judgment that you already have skin of steel and bones of steel! ]
[Steel Skin and Iron Bones gain additional improvements, and gain additional expertise: Iron Viscera]
[Iron Skin → Iron Skin III! ]
[Steel Bones→Steel BonesⅢ! ]
[Iron Skin III: Your skin and muscles have a built-in 'severe' level of defense]
[Steel Bones III: Your internal organs and bones have built-in 'severe' level of defense]
…
[Steel Internal Organs: Your internal organs have been strengthened once again, and you will have an additional 'severe' level of immunity against shock, puncture and other damage.]
…
"After breaking 100, there is finally a change!"
Goethe looked at his body weight which had reached 104.9, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
When the [Body] became stronger and stronger, Goethe had a premonition that when the [Body] exceeded 100, there would be a qualitative change.
However, what was unexpected was the [Skin of Iron] and [Bone of Steel] that the [Berserker] gained when he reached his limit.
"In other words, if you want to maximize the benefits, you need to reach the extreme not only during the Warrior baptism period, but also when you are promoted to Berserker and Hellblood, and you need to complete the additional judgment."
You should know that the gap between ordinary [Iron Skin], [Iron Bones] and [Iron Skin III], [Iron Bones III] is very large. One is at the level of the first level of the extraordinary, and the other is already at the level of the third level.
Not to mention the [Steel Guts]!
With [Iron Guts], his survivability is greatly improved.
"I wonder what will happen when [Heart] and [Skill] reach 100?"
Goethe thought about it, but immediately shook his head.
Different from the body which moves forward with high spirits all the way.
His [Skill] is only 62.7 at the moment.
And [heart]?
It is only 13.8.
The distance to 100 is not even a little bit.
However, it is not impossible to improve a little.
Goethe took a look and saw that there were still 26 copies of [Bloody Honor] left. His eyes involuntarily looked at the secret techniques [Ancient Legend. Not inferior to me], [Ancient Legend. One-step Power] and [Sword Breathing Method]!
According to his understanding of the mystical knowledge, the secret art [Ancient Legend. Not inferior to me] should be closely related to [heart].
If you learn it, improving your mind will be a piece of cake.
And [Sword Breathing Technique]?
This breathing method learned from the "Secret Keeper" Zuo Lunsi should focus on [mind], [skill] and [body], but Goethe could not judge its specific effect.
But its effect on the heart should not be greater than that of the Steinbeck Breathing Method.
Upgrading [Steinbeck Breathing Method] to Extraordinary level increases the [Hearts] by a total of 3.3, but consumes 23 [Bloody Honor].
Of course, [Sword Breathing] may not consume that much, but the secret [Ancient Legend. Not Lower Than Me] only requires 10 copies of [Bloody Honor].
One more thing!
Goethe would never forget what he would face after leaving the secret realm and returning to the 'Inner Bay'.
Goethe believed that the secret technique "Ancient Tradition. Not inferior to me" could help him more.
This is also true for explosive secret techniques such as [Ancient Legend. One-Step Power].
When [Bloody Honor] was not enough again, Goethe chose [Ancient Legend. Not inferior to me] and [Ancient Legend. One-shot Power]!
[Ancient Legend. First Power: You lock your own Qi and blood in a special way. After bursting out at a critical moment, you will gain a short-term strengthening! ]
[Discovered that he has the specialties 'Blood Rage VI' 'Hell Blood'...]
【Judgment in progress! 】
[Consume 2 bloody honors, and integrate the 'Ancient Legend. 1st Power' into 'Blood Rage VI' and 'Hell Blood'! ]
[Judgment passed! ]
[Blood Rage VII: Your vigorous blood has been awakened, and your dormant fighting spirit is boiling. Your blood is burning, and your fighting spirit is roaring. At this moment, you burst out with stronger power. Within 25 seconds, your 'body' attribute will be enhanced by 175%, and you will consume a lot of physical strength! ]
[Hell Blood II: You have locked up the 'madness' with your powerful will. At the same time, this allows you to more subtly control the 'blood' to obtain better attack and defense. Effect: When you attack and defend with blood, you will have an extra 'destruction' level of effect. When facing invisible and dead creatures , the extra level is increased by 1 again.]
…
An additional 2 copies of [Bloody Honor] were consumed to strengthen [Bloody Frenzy] and [Hell Blood].
This surprised Goethe.
'Destroy' level!
According to Goethe's comparison with his previous baptism and promotion of rank.
The 'extinction' level corresponds to the 'title' legend.
Moreover, unlike [Celtic Blood Sacrifice. White Wolf (Alienation. Perfection)] which requires a full moon to obtain an extra +1 and reach the 'Extinction' level, at this moment he has actually obtained the 'Extinction' level of attack and defense.
This made Goethe more confident about returning to the 'Inner Bay' and fighting that guy.
Especially when Goethe saw [Ancient Legend. Not Under Me]——
[Ancient legend. Not inferior to me: When you and your opponent are tied or have gained an advantage in the battle, you can choose to shout this sentence, and the opponent must conduct a heart-5 judgment with you. If the judgment fails, the hostile party will be demoralized and have no fighting spirit, while your people will be motivated and have a boiling fighting spirit. When the judgment passes, the hostile party will be enraged, and your people will be confused.]
【Heart +3! 】
(Note: When performing a secret technique, you must shout out "Not below me")
…
The increase of [heart] was within Goethe's expectations.
The detailed effects of the secret technique [Ancient Legend. Not inferior to me] made Goethe think more.
Some ways of fighting had begun to appear in Goethe's mind.
At the same time, his eyes turned to the 'notebook' that contained his memories.
leave?
Impossible!
He also wants to search...
No!
Yes, we have to harvest a wave!
Thinking of this, Goethe walked towards the secret room of the 'Academy' - that was where Van der Sar stored important items.
