Chapter 77: Blood Magic (1)
Blood Magic was a powerful, forbidden force even among magicians. Its most distinctive traits were superhuman physical enhancement and remarkable regenerative abilities.
A magician using blood magic could momentarily surpass human limits in speed and strength, and ordinary wounds healed almost instantly.
It seemed as though they possessed the ability to transcend death in the midst of battle.
The sight of torn flesh regenerating before his eyes left a lasting impression on Leon.
More than anything, the blood magicians' power to dodge fatal blows and regenerate opened up a sense of greater potential for Leon.
However, the problem lay in the deadly side effects of this magic. The more one used blood magic, the more they gradually lost their sanity—its greatest drawback.
This side effect, turning one into a bloodthirsty beast, caused magicians to lose their judgment and self-control.
Blood magic, while granting immense power, was like a double-edged sword, making it impossible to control oneself.
Whether Leon could overcome this side effect remained uncertain. For a magician, losing sanity was the greatest contradiction.
Ultimately, Leon would soon find out whether blood magic would become a tool for his growth or an unusable power.
As the early morning mist began to lift, the wide plaza outside the castle in the magic city, occupied by the Astellia School, was filled with 51 magicians in the cool air.
These were elite forces gathered to exterminate blood magicians.
