Chapter 535: Blood Eater

POSTED ON MARCH 20, 2023 BY JACK RUSSELL

“In general, I want a profession with a stronger sense of presence.” Suuankou summed it up this way, “If possible, it’s best to keep the skills related to traps…at least the ability to create traps. That is a priority over combat power.”

After all, Suuankou relied on this to make money.

It was said that the profession of his elder sister after the advancement stage was high-maintenance.

“Azure Guardian” could use gems like Edict Wizard. However, they did not use gemstones as spell-casting materials but used sapphires of different colors as spell-storage items for storing various types of one-time-use unique abilities.

For example, resistance to toxins, rapid regeneration, floating shields that rotate around the body, instant and directional silence ability, or increasing the damage of the next attack. Every time the Azure Guardian advanced a level, he could learn a new method of making magic storage gems.

However, the ritual must be held one day in advance to process the gems.

It was like Tohsaka Rin [1].

Ordinary Treasure Diamond Island Guard Knights could only be regarded as caravan escorts at best — even if they could block flying arrows and parry weapons, holding a stick was much less practical than wielding a shield.

At least if the opponent suddenly wielded a gun and went, “Sir, the times have changed”, Treasure Diamond Island Guard Knight would be completely helpless.

However, the situation was different for the Azure Guardians.

The initial Azure Guardian was the Azure Diamond Tower’s protector.

Under the development effort the Edict Wizards dedicated, the deficiencies of this profession were made up for through these “gem skills”.

High resistance and high defense, able to deflect rays and bullets that could not be parried otherwise, self-recovery, and boosting the attack power to the average level of a transcender of the same level.

However, those Edict Wizards did not enforce the rules that “Azure Guardian must protect the Azure Diamond Tower”. Instead, they publicly announced the advancement ritual, which was the previous ritual with chipped gems.

They adopted another control method.

The gemstones required for the “magic ability” of the Azure Guardian could only be gemstones produced in Treasure Diamond Island.

Those who chose to work under or guard the Azure Diamond Tower would receive said gems as salary every month. In addition, they would receive some “gem magic that they could not create by themselves” every month. That would be the “restricted spells” that the Edict Wizards poured into gems.

Isn’t this just a membership system?

When Lin Yiyi said this, Suuankou blurted out.

Therefore, Azure Diamond Tower did not take the initiative to recruit any Azure Guardian, but almost all of the Azure Guardians who advanced successfully returned to the Azure Diamond Tower in the end.

Most of them originally planned to work for 6 years and leave Treasure Diamond Island after saving enough gems. However, when that time came, they would be reluctant to part with the “Members Restricted Spell” gems given out every month.

Thinking that “it seemed that there was nothing to do if they left”, they hesitated and stayed.

Lin Yiyi was not short of money or gems at the moment. However, looking at her combat approach, Suuankou felt it was better for him to save some money in advance.

The craftsmanship of making traps could not be lost to achieve this goal.

“A Trap Master who can fight head-on and has more offensive power than Berserker.” Nefertari thought for a while, then nodded slowly, “I probably have some ideas. Excuse me first.”

She got up and walked to her study.

The situation was urgent, and she tidied the living room a little.

The two bedrooms or her study were in a mess. That was to say, Nieusel’s collection room was still tidy.

That was not because Nieusel was more hygienic than Nefertari. However, Nieusel only sometimes went there.

When cohabiting with the opposite sex, they were not so particular about their image. This could also be regarded as an example of their close relationship as childhood friends.

She pulled out a few books from the overlapping bookshelves rippling with dark blue ripples.

There was no need to unlock these books because the knowledge recorded in them was not that dangerous.

“For Berserker, you can worship the Cup-holding Lady.” Nefertari opened the book in front of Jiu Er and used her nails to lightly imprint a mark on the page, pointing out to her the specific content location.

“Cup-holding Lady?” Jiu Er asked curiously, “Is it the Holy Grail knight?”

She had heard about the job change of the Holy Grail knight.

The Paper Princess once prophesied Delicious Wind Goose that he might become a Holy Grail Knight in the future. At that time, the players had already learned about this job change, and some people indeed wanted to change to this profession.

Through the profession feature of the Holy Grail knight, players could rely on other players to superimpose many basic attribute points.

Although attribute points were not the only determinant of combat power, accumulating a little more was good with no repercussions.

Although this bucket profession was not weak, it did not meet Jiu Er’s special requirements.

“Cup-holding Lady is the Deity of Blood and Desire. In addition to the Holy Grail symbolizing ‘Desire’, she is also the Deity of Blood. In other words, she also controls the ‘Blood in the Cup’.

“The blood in that cup is the blood of the snake, the blood of the tree, the blood of the stone, the blood of the pleasing. Then, the blood of the endless and the blood of the rustless.”

Nefertari gave a detailed description to Jiu Er, “If a berserker believes in the Cup-holding Lady, he can sacrifice his blood in a golden cup for nine days and replace it with rust-free blood.

“Drinking rust-free blood to advance. You can advance to the special profession ‘Blood Eater’.

“Blood Eaters have a unified curse, ‘Supreme True Blood’. They need to sacrifice their blood once a month and replace it with rust-free blood. It overflows from the Holy Grail in the arms of the Cup-holding Lady’s blood.”

“You need to take rust-free blood often, but you may obtain a solid physique without cost. The Veteran Blood Eaters are already so strong that their bodies are like other-worldly monsters. After they die, their flesh and blood will flow incessantly, wriggling and healing. ‘The Endless Skin’ itself is an excellent curse material, which can be used to make drums and curse vessels.

“At the same time, the Blood Eaters are immune to all forms of disease and poison. They will no longer age easily, their appearance will not change, they will not need to eat extra food, and the damage to their bodies will heal quickly. Even after taking rust-free blood, one no longer needs to eat food for a month. When Berserker sacrifices his flesh and blood, he can muster tremendous strength several times higher than usual.

“This is because after the constitution is greatly enhanced, the strength that can be tolerated when going berserk also increases.

“However, at the same time… If you don’t take the rust-free blood on time to maintain your life, your muscles will gradually shrink and age rapidly. The complications include fever, subcutaneous hemorrhage, anemia, and internal organ infection simultaneously. Delayed care is bound to be life-threatening.

“However, as long as you take rust-free blood regularly, there is no special problem. Even if you are not a Blood Eater, you can use rust-free blood to replace anyone’s blood for blood transfusions, which can significantly speed up recovery. You won’t become a Blood Eater if you don’t have nightmares within a day after your blood transfusion.

“So the ritual of Rustless Blood will not stop, and the side effects of this curse cannot be triggered at all. If you are worried that you won’t be able to use it, you can also sell the Rustless Blood you made.”

Nefertari’s tone was seemingly hinting, “if you have a lot of milk, why don’t you sell me the milk?”
