Chapter 220: Blood Race Duke: You Seem a Little Too Extreme
The scene looked like he was just slurping up porridge.
It left all the Dragon Country viewers watching the live stream speechless.
A single drop from that sea of blood had been enough to make those Blood Race guards struggle for breath.
Proof enough of its immense, mountain-crushing power.
They had thought Yuan would use some other method to crush him head-on.
But instead, he drank...
He drank it?!!
Are you kidding me?
Who’s the real member of the Blood Race here?
You’d think he was eating congee, not leaving a single drop behind!
And now, he was walking step by step toward the Blood Race Duke.
Heavy footsteps.
Each one carried an extremely intense pressure.
It was like a scene straight out of a horror movie.
Like a terrifying monster advancing on a helpless little girl.
It was hard not to wonder.
What unimaginable scene would happen next.
[Whoever can drink blood is Blood Race. Yuan is the real Duke now!]
[Uhhh... I’m suddenly starting to feel sorry for the Duke. What should I do?]
[It’s a shame the Duke is male, otherwise this would get weird.]
[Prison, bondage, bleeding, force...]
[That reminds me.]
[Shut up, you guys. This is a serious fight. Can you take it seriously?]
...
In contrast.
The foreign viewers were not happy.
[What are you Dragon Country people getting so excited for? You’re gonna get what’s coming to you!]
[This Blood Race Duke is almost a Great Evil. There’s no way this is all he’s got.]
[That was just a probe. You guys actually took it seriously?]
[He hasn’t even used his full power yet.]
[What’s this about three stages? It’s just a damn Heart Demon. How strong can it be?]
...
"This..."
The Blood Race Duke was drenched in sweat.
He was so scared he nearly wet himself.
Facing an enemy that couldn’t be killed by conventional means, he no longer knew how to win.
He couldn’t even handle stage one.
Let alone stages two and three.
But if he were to surrender to a bunch of brats right now...
...where would his pride be?
The conflict had already begun. If he really threw down his arms and surrendered, the orphanage wouldn’t let him go either.
The Blood Race Duke could only struggle to hold on.
Having lost his sea of blood, he could only rely on the few abilities he had left.
Suddenly, a thought entered his mind.
’That’s it!’
’The Illusion Realm!’
’Isn’t this monster plagued by negative emotions?’
’I’ll use the Illusion Realm against him!’
He had almost forgotten.
His Ghost Skill was designed to create an Illusion Realm!
The Blood Race Duke immediately used his Ghost Skill!
—Crimson Mirror Domain!
This Ghost Skill allowed him to pull his enemies into an Illusion Realm Space of his own creation.
Within this space, lenses would reflect the enemy’s greatest fears, inflicting mental trauma and twisting their psyche.
BUZZ!
As the Blood Race Duke suddenly unleashed his power!
Everyone except the Blood Race guards...
...was pulled into the Illusion Realm Space!
The children only felt reality twist before their eyes!
Suddenly, they entered a space constructed from lenses!
As far as the eye could see.
Everywhere they looked, mirror surfaces as smooth as water reflected their blurry figures, though their faces remained indistinct. Countless prisms sliced the entire world into large fragments.
"Is this... that old bat’s Ghost Skill?"
Meimei exhaled softly, her skin crawling.
"This is trouble."
Pangpang struck the mirror surface with all his might, producing a series of dull thuds, but it didn’t budge. It seemed that unless one’s power surpassed the Blood Race Duke’s, there was no way to force one’s way out of this mirror world.
But they couldn’t see any sign of the Blood Race Duke.
Yun Zhenyue was also a little worried.
Her gaze drifted into the distance.
But Yuan, with his second seal undone, was completely unshaken.
He simply paused and looked around.
In every mirror.
A distorted shadow appeared.
Those shadows were the people Gu Yuan had once killed.
They stepped out of the mirrors, twisted and bizarre, radiating a terrifying aura.
There were men and women, old and young, all appearing as they had at the moment of their deaths. Some had gaping holes in their chests, others had limbs broken and twisted like crippled crabs. All of them swarmed toward Yuan!
Their numbers were so great they nearly filled the entire mirror space!
"I just wanted to ask for directions, but you killed me! Why!"
"The people you wanted to protect ended up turning on you. Do you know why? Because you are not worthy of anyone’s trust. Your heart knows only slaughter."
"Brother, why did you kill me? Your sword... it hurts so much..."
"Die. Stay here with us in this unmarked grave."
"Child, listen to an old woman’s advice. You only bring disaster. For the sake of those you cherish, those you love, you must leave them. You must stay here."
These spectral images from the past blocked Yuan’s path.
Although he wasn’t the one who had killed them.
But having copied Gu Yuan’s negative emotions, these phantoms often tormented him in his dreams.
The Blood Race Duke’s figure was hidden in the deepest part of the Lens Space.
His eyes were locked on Yuan!
’Why are there so many of them?’
Even he felt something was off.
The most phantoms this Ghost Skill had ever summoned before was less than one percent of the current number!
At a glance, the monster was practically drowning in them!
’Serves you right for killing so wantonly! This is your karma!’
’Victory is assured!’
Just as the Blood Race Duke thought he could finally finish Yuan off...
The next second!
His eyes widened in an earth-shattering shock.
He saw that the monster, far from feeling any remorse, actually showed a hint of confusion in his eyes.
As if to say, ’What the fuck are you all talking about?’
Little did he know.
As a puppet, Yuan had no morals.
What good was a guilt trip?
"Are you even human?"
The Blood Race Duke was in disbelief.
Even he would feel a pang of regret sometimes after killing someone.
What the hell was this thing?!
This wasn’t like slaughtering chickens and dogs. There were more phantoms here than people he had seen in his entire life, each one seething with resentment, yet this monster felt absolutely nothing!
An absolute beast!
In that instant!
CRACK~
A crisp sound was heard.
Yuan casually grabbed the nearest phantom as if swatting a mosquito and, under its blank and baffled gaze, crushed it into a ball!
Then!
BANG!!!
He threw the fleshy ball at the phantoms in front of him!
It was like he’d just thrown a bowling ball!
"AHHHHH!!!!"
"You damn bastard!!"
"You—"
Countless phantoms were struck and died!
Within the Lens Space, these phantoms didn’t dissipate upon death. Instead, they became fresh corpses, all to torment the conscience of the trapped victim!
Being hit so violently!
The bodies were all broken and mangled.
The whole scene was so brutal that even the Blood Race Duke found it cruel.
’Isn’t this monster a little too extreme?’
But Yuan looked at these corpses as if they were just sides of butchered pork.
He walked over slowly and lowered his head.
Just when the Blood Race Duke thought he was having a moment of silence for the dead phantoms...
...Yuan picked up the corpses and crumpled them all into a ball.
He made an even bigger ball!!
Blood Race Duke: "..."
The word ’beast’ was no longer sufficient to describe the horror he was feeling.
He desperately needed a word more powerful than ’beast’!
Under his blank, horrified gaze!
Yuan intentionally avoided the children behind him.
He kept throwing the ball at the remaining phantoms!
THWACK!!
THWACK-THWACK!!!!
Every throw mowed down a swath of phantoms!
Splattering blood stained the entire space!
Then he would pick them up again and roll them into an even bigger ball!
The sound of cracking bones echoed as blood pooled on the floor.
In just a few moments.
All the phantoms in the entire mirror space had become part of the meatball.
This scene!
Even a Great Evil would lose its sanity at the sight!
Countless severed limbs, eyes frozen in terror, and scraps of flesh and blood had all been combined into one massive sphere. The thick, metallic stench was enough to choke you!
Incomprehensible, indescribable!
"This is..."
A bizarre thought suddenly occurred to the Blood Race Duke.
What would happen if you squashed all the humans in the world into a single meatball?
Now, he had a pretty good idea.
Finally.
Before the Blood Race Duke’s terrified eyes.
Yuan lifted the meatball and hurled it toward where the Duke was hiding!
"—BOOM!!!"
With a tremendous crash!
The entire Illusion Realm Space shattered!
