Chapter 215 Blood Scroll

(From MC's perspective)

I couldn't wait to snatch it from them when the words' silver patterned vine echoed in my ears. But I remained calm and continued to watch the duel.

Because the ongoing conflict is anything but dull. The scarred man is oppressing the enemy with his speed magic. The elemental wizard, on the other hand, is going head to head with the speed wizard.

Despite this, the fight is heading for a draw. I have a hunch that the outcome will change sooner rather than later.

...

CLANG

The metallic sound echoed throughout the area.

The lethal blade touched the silver skin once more. However, in comparison to 5 minutes ago, the silver is thin this time. This was quickly noticed by the scarred Winston, the speed wizard.

He let out a sudden burst of laughter, "He...He...He..."

"I'll have the silver-patterned vine soon," he thought to himself. He was tired of acting like a good teammate earlier. However, the appearance of the silver-patterned vine forced him to abandon his disguise.

He knows that if the special relic is auctioned off, he will make a fortune. He revealed a wide grin when he thought about it.

Rick's breathing, on the other hand, has become faster. He realized his mana rate consumption had skyrocketed. He wasn't afraid to use his mana reserve to deal with Winston's speed magic.

But, once again, this has put us in this precarious position. He needs to come up with something quick. When he saw Winston's gleeful smile, his face became solemn.

"Did he figure it out?" Rick reflected himself.

He has been on the defensive since the beginning of the fight. He doesn't have many magical items in his storage bracelets. Some of them may be able to assist him in this situation.

Magical artifacts, in particular, will aid him in relieving stress. Rick made the decision to use the magical artifact at the appropriate time.

Then, unknowingly, his gaze was drawn to the team's leader, Max. Rick noticed Max's bleeding was worsening. Rick sneered inside as he observed no change, "He will die for sure."

The next thing he knew, Winston was rushing towards him again. Rick then cast a spell after noticing this.

SILVER STONES

Several thumb-sized silver balls formed in mid-air in the blink of an eye.

VHOOM

The silver balls shot at the enemy at breakneck speed the next second. The speed was so high that the sound of air tearing could be heard.

This is the first time Rick has gone offensive since the battle began. He believes Winston will struggle to avoid those silver balls.

The scarred Winston, on the other hand, refused to change his tactics. He once again relied on his speed to keep the opponent at bay. Unfortunately, Rick began to retaliate.

He noticed Rick had used his attack spell when he was a few steps away. This twisted his face even more.

Rick would eventually run out of mana, he reasoned. So he confidently resumed his tactics. However, he underestimated his opponent. Rick, unlike Max, is a cunning individual.

When Winston realized his error, a cold glint flashed through his eyes.

But it's too late to be sorry now. Because those silver balls flashed before his eyes. In desperation, he attempted to change course.

He felt immediate pain when he moved in the right direction to avoid the frontal attack.

BANG

One by one, those silver balls slammed into his body. The majority of the attacks were aimed at his legs. Each silver ball ripped through his adventurer suit and struck him in the body.

Both of his legs, in particular, died in red. The majority of the attacks were directed at his legs, and he had an uneasy feeling in his heart.

Thud

He lost his balance immediately after being shot in the legs because he felt weakness all over his legs. He was unable to control his speed and crashed into a nearby tree as a result.

Puff

Winston vomited blood. He attempted to stand, but his efforts were futile. His legs were severely injured.

"Sh!t"

Winston cursed himself, "I was careless."

It's not like he's come to a dead end. His storage bracelet contains lots of arsenals. That he will almost certainly use it when he has no other option.

Rick, on the other hand, sighed in relief when his attack was successful. "Fortunately, he didn't use his brain," Rick reflected. He is aware that his mana reserve is running out.

So it's time to call it quits. Winston will suffer further harm if he uses his remaining silver stones.

While all of this was going on, the leader Max was nearing the end of his life. He's waiting for the right moment to use the blood scroll. A cruel glint flashed into his eyes as he saw both of them reach a dead end in their mana reserves.

Rick was approaching the crash site when he noticed him. Max thought this was an excellent opportunity. Winston's legs are injured, so he won't be able to use the speed magic for the time being.

He only needs to take care of Rick. As a strong determination rises in his heart, he removes the blood scroll from the storage bracelet.

All of the prerequisite conditions have been met. The scroll can be activated without difficulty. Max coughed up blood the next second.

The blood sprayed on top of the scroll.

The complicated runes diagram flashed red in an instant.

When Max noticed this, he quickly attached the blood scroll to his chest and dashed toward his teammates at full speed.

As soon as the conditions were met, the forbidden spell inscribed on the blood scroll activated. Max's demeanor immediately changed. His eyes became bloodshot. His veins are starting to appear.

By the second, his skin was turning pale.

He laughed hysterically when he reached the appropriate range, saying, "Ha...Ha...Ha..."

"Winston"

"Rick"

"You treacherous [email protected] both can die now," Max roared before sacrificing himself.

Max was instantly transformed into a blood mist by the forbidden spell. The blood mist immediately landed on Rick, who was terrified after witnessing the sudden change.

The blood mist attacked his brows right away. Something seemed to be sucking Rick's blood. A shiver ran down his spine. He can't put into words how terrified he was. He tries to flee in desperation.

Unfortunately, after his blood is completely drained, his body becomes a mummified corpse. The mummified corpse vanished into thin air the next second.

Everything occurred in the blink of an eye. The blood mist has yet to vanish because there is one more sacrifice to be made.

Winston, on the other hand, widened his eyes in disbelief. He had not expected their leader to come up with something so sinister.

His heart was filled with fear. He was unable to think. He witnessed Max's transformation into a blood mist. Rick's blood was also being sucked out by blood mist, which he witnessed.

Winston began to tremble in fear after witnessing their tragic ending. In his heart, he has a bad promotion that things are not over. His heart skipped a beat as he attempted to crawl across the ground.

He noticed blood mist rushing towards him. He only felt a tingling in his brows before he could do anything. His mind went blank the next second. He met the same fate as Rick. The sacrifice was also completed.

As a result, the blood mist began to return to the blood scroll. Which is in the center of the blood mist. When the blood mist has dissipated completely.

The blood scroll quickly lost its luster after its work. The intricate runes have also faded, and the scroll is now nothing more than a plain sheet. Then it slowly touches down on the ground.

...

(From MC's perspective)

Observing the thin, plain sheet on the ground. I'm at a loss for words to express how I felt. Initially, I assumed it would be a routine clash. But who would have guessed that an injured person would resort to such a cruel method in the end?

The appearance of blood mist reminded me of evil wizards. This type of sacrificial method, I realized, is evil. I quickly decided to leave this place.

Then I jumped over and landed slowly on the ground. Fortunately, after their deaths, the valuables were dropped on the ground. I began picking up the storage bracelets one by one.

I immediately left the location after collecting it.

Time passed,

I arrived in the city several hours later. Then I spent a few more hours at the adventurer union, except for the special relics and other rare items, selling the stolen goods.

Surprisingly, after selling the stolen items, I earned 3500 alliance points. This will be sufficient for me to increase my strength by meditating within the mana chamber.

After that, I decided to go to the Claudia gym instead of returning home. Then, two hours later, I arrived at my destination.

The front desk clerk was surprised to see me again. Then, without looking at him, I paid the money and obtained the access code from him.

I entered the mana chamber a few minutes later. The door behind me automatically shut. When I saw that, I sat cross-legged and took out the silver-patterned vine.
