Kingdom's Bloodline, page 97
*Swoop!*
In the next moment, Simon Corleone charged at the Blood Mystic's side with a speed so fast that he could not be seen, wearing an expression showing that he did not fear death. With his hand straight, he sliced off the living blood-colored maiden's head and sent it flying!
He turned his head and said, "You are so disappointing, old man." Simon gritted his teeth and forced down the terror in his heart.
Chris could only relax then. His face was pale and he panted continuously.
"Heh heh," he smiled and bitterly said, "Unexpectedly, you were the one who saved me, Simon."
"Shut up, old man." Simon's gaze was a mix of fear and hatred as he moved away from the Blood Mystic's severed body and shot towards Chris. "Among the three of you, I hate YOU the most."
Katerina spoke at the same time, "Have five people act as rear guards and cover our retreat!" She flew into the air and shouted the order in a frenzy.
"The rest of you, take the black coffin and retreat immediately!"
The Sacred Blood army did not hesitate at all. Among the seven remaining Blood Clan warriors, two of them shot out from their group and dashed towards the black coffin.
With one in front and the other at the back, they hoisted up the black coffin.
But in the next moment, a head grew out of the chest of the blood-colored maiden's severed body in a bizarre fashion! The head did not grow out of the neck. Instead, it tore through her chest and popped out from between her breasts.
Chris and Simon stared at each other. 'What is this monster?'
"None of you can run away, okay?" Amid Chris and Simon's terrified gazes, the head on the chest looked up and smiled happily. "If those people find out, I will be very troubled. Not a single one of you can run away, okay?"
The Blood Mystic gently took a step forward and raised her only remaining hand. The head on her chest said in a loud voice, "All the blood in this world… Belongs to me."
In the next moment, a terrifying rumble came from below the ground.
*Rumble…*
Chris and Simon looked at the ground in surprise and bewilderment, they then stared at each other.
'What is this?'
…..
Ralf carried Thales. Along with Aida, the three of them moved stealthily for more than twenty paces.
Then—
*Boom- Dong!*
A figure fell from the sky, landing with a loud crash in front of Thales' on the snow-covered ground.
Thales' expression changed. With great distress on his face, he stared at Serena who fell from the sky. He sighed and said, "Why is it you again?"
The heavily wounded Serena supported herself with one hand on a birch tree and got up laboriously. Then, she looked at them with a fierce expression.
'Did Chris… deliberately throw me over here? Did he still think that this boy has any solutions?'
Serena's eyes suddenly brightened. She remembered something. 'No wonder… No wonder Chris wanted me to follow them and leave.'
"Let us make a deal—take me with you," she said coldly, "Then I will not stop you from leaving."
Thales was stunned. Immediately afterwards, anger appeared in his heart. 'This old witch!'
However, the Blood Mystic's chuckles rang faintly from the area. "Not a single one of you can run away, okay?"
A quake came from below the ground.
The next moment, Aida roared furiously and pushed Ralf and Thales away, sending them flying. Serena was also thrown off in a flash as shock appeared on her face.
*Clang!*
The elf turned and attacked with her machete, chopping a section of a tree root that emerged from the ground!
"Leave with him first!" Aida shouted furiously and turned again to break another section of a tree root that wanted to chase after Thales.
However, one, two, three more tree roots emerged with a loud sound from the ground and swept towards Aida.
The elf roared furiously, swinging her blade at the tree roots that were coming from all directions!
Ralf and Serena did their best to climb up higher trees.
'Damn…' Thales watched these tree roots in astonishment. 'What on earth is this power?'
From the corner of his eyes, he saw Serena following beside them.
"You brought this rotten mess upon us." Hugging Ralf's neck, Thales spoke fiercely, "Why do I have to clean it up?!"
But Serena could not reply him in time... because the birch trees beside then came 'alive'!
*Boom!*
The birch trees possessed consciousness, and one of them swung its large branch and slammed into them, forcefully sending them back towards their original path!
Having no way to avoid it, Ralf's expression changed. He could only summon strong gusts, trying his best to ward off the tree branch.
*Boom!*
Behind him, more than ten tree branches whipped towards them!
Ralf's expression changed again. This time, the Phantom Wind Follower summoned every ounce of his strength and threw Thales towards the empty land outside of the forest!
*Boom!*
Right after that, Ralf was whipped by the tree branches from all sides, falling towards where Aida was.
'No.'
Watching as the snow-covered ground became nearer and nearer, Thales could only shut his eyes...
Until an arm wrapped around him and brought him to her bosom.
*Dong!*
Hugging Thales with one hand, Serena fell on the snow-covered ground and rolled twice. Panting, Thales was hoisted up by Serena. Both of them stared at each other and snorted respectively.
"Having just saved your life, I can, of course, take it back… For the sake of your life…" Serena said fiercely, "Quickly take me away. I know that you definitely have a solution. Like Morat said, your relationship with Mystics is shady—"
"Bullsh*t!"
Thales' mood was also extremely bad. He held on to Serena's neck in a disheveled state, not in the mood to enjoy the softness of her chest at all. He could not help but cut her off with a cuss. "You are the one who has a shady relationship with Mystics. Your whole family and Mystics…"
However, they came face to face with a group of acquaintances.
"Ugly-faced woman, how dare you still come back?!" Katerina, who was in an extremely bad mood, had already changed back into human form. She landed on the ground and spoke furiously, "And you, brat… do you want to die?"
Behind her, two Blood Clansmen who were carrying the black coffin arrived in a flash.
"I don't want to, either." Thales gritted his teeth. "It's all thanks to your good older sister!"
*Boom!*
The next moment, a few sections of tree roots emerged from beneath the ground!
"Careful!" Thales cried out in surprise.
Katerina rapidly flew off in a flash. She watched in shock and fury as the two Blood Clansmen who were carrying the black coffin were tightly entangled by the tree roots.
"AAAHHH!"
The two Blood Clansmen entangled by the tree roots immediately let out earth-shattering howls. But it rapidly turned into painful, miserable wails.
Thales and Serena flew around in a flash to dodge the roots, while watching in terror as countless miniature root hairs grew out of the tree roots that entangled the two Blood Clansmen, piercing into their skin! The two clansmen's blood and flesh shriveled and withered rapidly, changing into the same color as the tree roots. They were then fused with the tree root before burrowing into the ground with the roots.
Thales furrowed his brows and shouted, "Are you sure she is the Blood Mystic and not the Tree Mystic?!"
Compared to the distinct power belonging to Asda, the Air Mystic whom he had seen before, he did not understand what the Blood Mystic's ability was at all.
'Blood, reviving herself, fragments of dead bodies. And now trees, too. My God, what else is she capable of?
Thales sighed. He suddenly and sincerely felt that compared to the Blood Mystic, no matter which aspect he looked at it from…
Asda was a good person.
'Compared to this way of dying… being molded into a human ball of flesh is truly the VIP treatment.'
Carrying Thales, Serena somersaulted onto the black coffin to dodge the attack from two segments of tree roots.
"I don't know," she said through gritted teeth, "It's not like I am a prophet!"
The tree roots seemed to have a deep fear of the black coffin, not daring to enter its proximity. They only prowled about, as though they were consciously waiting for their prey.
Katerina had also skittered onto the black coffin.
As the sisters met each other's gazes, hatred and disgust surged into their hearts at the same time. Both of them roared!
"Cry-baby!"
"Ugly-faced woman!"
…..
The five Blood Clan warriors charged forward in a flash.
The strangely shaped Blood Mystic let loose a long string of chuckles.
She raised her severed hand.
Before the five Blood Clansmen could go near her, their entire bodies trembled. They then convulsed and fell onto the ground at the same time beside the Mystic. Then, all of them started groaning in agony.
"Monster!"
Chris pounced forward while roaring furiously. His highly acidic blood with corrosive powers seeped out, corroding half of the Blood Mystic's body in the blink of an eye!
"Ah, using blood to fight against me?"
As the Blood Mystic smiled, the highly acidic blood that shrouded the air shook, and all the blood then coalesced into her body.
Chris watched in surprise and bewilderment as the Blood Mystic absorbed his blood. As if she just ingested drugs of the highest quality, the later exaggeratingly opened her mouth and gasped in praise. And then… she nonchalantly plucked off her head that had grown at the wrong place—
And put it back on her neck.
"Monster? Don't say that…" She chuckled. "Aren't you all becoming monsters soon, too…"
Simon flew towards the Blood Mystic's back in a flash. He was about to attack when he saw the scene before him and was seized by terror.
The five Blood Clansmen who had been kneeling and groaning suddenly began screaming in pain.
A Blood Clan warrior watched in fear as a cloud of blood-mist burst out of his chest. A blood-red hand then grew out of that hole wriggled ceaselessly! The color of that hand was like that of a newborn baby.
"Ah-no!" This warrior was the toughest soldier. But right now, seeing the strange arm that kept wriggling on his chest, he emitted a scream of pain that was shaky because he was almost in tears, "Help me!"
A strange eye suddenly opened on the back of that hand. Then, as if gaining consciousness, the hand grabbed the warrior's head, and tore off his head while he was alive.
*Rip!*
Blood splattered everywhere.
Chris and Simon watched the scene in a daze. The lives of the other four warriors also ended in a similar manner.
A peculiar tentacle grew out of one person's eye and dug her heart out. Hair had suddenly grown rapidly from another's head and pierced into his body to rip his spin into a dozen something pieces. One clansman actually had another head identical to his existing head grow out of his shoulder and smile mischievously at him. It continued smiling at him until that warrior chopped off the head on his shoulder, then he died in a baffling manner. It was the scariest for the last person. Two mouths filled with fangs actually grew from his palms and dashed towards his body. The mouths ate him up alive.
"Ah, ah! What is this?!"
"No! No! Let me go!
"Monster! Die! Die!
"Don't! Don't! Ah—"
*BOOM!*
Simon could not endure looking at what was happening anymore and attacked resolutely. He tore the Blood Mystic's body in half again! He then turned and ended the suffering of the warrior who was being eaten by his own hand.
However, Simon was not completely unharmed.
His sharp claw that was torn by the Mystic immediately started convulsing without end. It began to expand...
*Tear!*
Simon furrowed his brows and cut off his arm without hesitation!
"I thought you were too scared to attack." Chris sighed and stood up unsteadily. "You know what she is, don't you?"
Simon stared, with mixed feelings, at his severed hand on the ground that started moving around. He also looked at his trembling body. 'Know what she is? Far more than that.'
His cousin-brother's final expression appeared before his eyes.
Simon clenched his remaining sharp claws tightly, shut his eyes, and spoke through gritted teeth, "Yes, of course I am scared, but there is also hatred."
'Cousin-brother... And all of Star Lake City… It was by such a monster that…'
"Haha." Chris chuckled bitterly. He unfurled his skeletal wings as he watched the blood-red ball rise again. "It appears that my power does not actually work on her."
"Bullsh*t, she can't be killed at all…" Simon gritted his teeth and panted twice, exercising his sharp claws. "If you're scared, then it's better for you to flee for your life quickly, and leave her to me."
Chris snorted coldly. "You mean leave YOU to HER?"
Their eyes met and suddenly, both of them laughed at the same time.
"I truly miss those old days," Simon said softly, he felt his anxiety and trembling reduce significantly.
"Only three of you," Chris said quietly, getting rid of that massive, dark shadow—that stood before the four of them in the past—from his heart.
"How much time do you reckon we can buy?" Simon clenched his fists tightly.
"Three minutes?" Chris' brows were tightly furrowed. He watched as the blood-red Blood Mystic's figure walked out from the ball made of converged blood again.
"No ambition at all." Simon shook his head disdainfully and watched the maiden solemnly. "It has to be… at least five minutes."
The blood-red maiden walked slowly towards them. "I have not exercised my muscles for a long time," she chuckled as she said, "neither have my pets."
The two Blood Clansmen's expressions froze.
*Rumble!*
A massive noise boomed.
Amid their terrified gazes, a monster that looked like a massive, blood-red octopus crept out from the snow-covered ground and rose into the air. It was as tall as a few humans and was formed with countless pieces of severed limbs.
It extended a huge tentacle and hoisted the Blood Mystic up.
"Roar!" The blood-red tentacle monsters extended another two of its tentacles and attacked the two supreme class Blood Clansmen.
"Is this that thing?" Simon asked, pale-faced.
"Ah, it appears that it is." Chris sighed and prepared to dodge early—he did not have fast speed like Simon. "According to legend, Raikaru's archenemy in the Battle of Eradication… Hydra Kilika…"
The two Blood Clansmen vigorously flapped their skeletal wings to dodge the tentacles' attack.
"I just didn't expect…" Chris said slowly, "that it was… the Blood Mystic's pet."
Then, the airborne Chris and Simon froze at the same time. Their skeletal wings flapped backwards and they pounced towards the hydra instead!
"Damn it!" Chris glared at his skeletal wings—flapping against his will—and at the increasingly large tentacle before his eyes in fear.
The two tentacles split into a few dozen something other thinner tentacles. With a sudden burst of strength, they bound themselves tightly around the two supreme class Blood Clansmen.
…..
*BOOM!* Thales watched the massive, blood-colored, tentacled octopus that crept out from the floor in a daze. Fortunately, he did not look at it too closely, or else, he would have probably thrown up at seeing the severed limbs wriggling inside it.
However, the two silver-haired Blood Clanswomen only glared at each other fiercely.
"All of this is a disaster you caused!" Katerina flashed out her sharp claws and a murderous glare shone in her eyes.
"I caused? No." Although Serena was heavily injured, she showed her remaining claws without backing down. "I myself am your disaster, am I not?"
"Selling out our family to a Mystic… are you retarded?!" Katerina bared her sharp fangs.
Serena lowered her body and prepared to launch a sudden attack, "Ah, at least I don't have to be captured by you idiots—"
"Stop!"
Thales watched the fierce tree roots around them while he was between the sisters. He then looked despondently at the large, blood-red octopus that was a distance away. Stroking his fragile little heart, he raised his hand and said in exasperation, "Time out! After we escape from this danger, you can go on ahead, find a place, and rip each other to pieces. And no one will complain, okay?!"
The sisters snorted coldly and turned their heads away.
*Boom!*
Their expressions immediately changed when they saw that both supreme class Blood Clansmen were entangled by a tentacle each.
"We will have to depend on your solution, brat," Serena turned her head and said coldly, "After all, you have a shady relationship with the Mystics…"
"Look at the pot calling the kettle black!" Thales said furiously, "You were the one who made a deal with the Mystic, taking the coffin and…"
At this moment, Thales suddenly had an idea. He turned towards the black coffin beneath his feet and looked at the tree roots that wriggled endlessly but did not dare approach.
"Hey." Thales extended both hands and poked the Blood Clan sisters on either side of himself.
"I heard that… This broken coffin is a legendary anti-mystic equipment?"
Thales recalled Yodel's gray short sword, and what happened when it pierced through Asda's chest. The prince turned his head to look at the sisters. "According to all of you, it is the only weapon that can fight against Mystics..."
Katerina glared at Serena opposite her, and shook her head coldly. "It is useless… The Dark Night Black Coffin's only function is to lock them up."
Thales was stunned. Scratching his head, he asked, "Lock them up? Isn't that enough? That disgusting psychopath…"
"Stupid, what she meant was that the Dark Night Black Coffin has already locked one Mystic up." Under Thales' puzzled gaze, Serena glared at Katerina in disgust.
Serena said to him, "If we are to lock up the Blood Mystic… we have to release the one inside first."
In the next moment, Simon Corleone charged at the Blood Mystic's side with a speed so fast that he could not be seen, wearing an expression showing that he did not fear death. With his hand straight, he sliced off the living blood-colored maiden's head and sent it flying!
He turned his head and said, "You are so disappointing, old man." Simon gritted his teeth and forced down the terror in his heart.
Chris could only relax then. His face was pale and he panted continuously.

"Shut up, old man." Simon's gaze was a mix of fear and hatred as he moved away from the Blood Mystic's severed body and shot towards Chris. "Among the three of you, I hate YOU the most."
Katerina spoke at the same time, "Have five people act as rear guards and cover our retreat!" She flew into the air and shouted the order in a frenzy.
"The rest of you, take the black coffin and retreat immediately!"
The Sacred Blood army did not hesitate at all. Among the seven remaining Blood Clan warriors, two of them shot out from their group and dashed towards the black coffin.

Their expressions immediately changed when they saw that both supreme class Blood Clansmen were entangled by a tentacle each.
"We will have to depend on your solution, brat," Serena turned her head and said coldly, "After all, you have a shady relationship with the Mystics…"
"Look at the pot calling the kettle black!" Thales said furiously, "You were the one who made a deal with the Mystic, taking the coffin and…"
At this moment, Thales suddenly had an idea. He turned towards the black coffin beneath his feet and looked at the tree roots that wriggled endlessly but did not dare approach.
"Hey." Thales extended both hands and poked the Blood Clan sisters on either side of himself.
"I heard that… This broken coffin is a legendary anti-mystic equipment?"
Thales recalled Yodel's gray short sword, and what happened when it pierced through Asda's chest. The prince turned his head to look at the sisters. "According to all of you, it is the only weapon that can fight against Mystics..."
Katerina glared at Serena opposite her, and shook her head coldly. "It is useless… The Dark Night Black Coffin's only function is to lock them up."
Thales was stunned. Scratching his head, he asked, "Lock them up? Isn't that enough? That disgusting psychopath…"
"Stupid, what she meant was that the Dark Night Black Coffin has already locked one Mystic up." Under Thales' puzzled gaze, Serena glared at Katerina in disgust.
Serena said to him, "If we are to lock up the Blood Mystic… we have to release the one inside first."
