They all call me master.

Chapter 949: Wand and Flame!
The endless flow of the "blood river" hit the Nanlos medium.

At least, that's what it seems.

However, the Blood Marquis who controlled the 'Blood River' clearly felt that his self-created secret technique 'Blood River' had slipped!
Whether it was the impact force or the negative energy condensed from blood inside...

They all slid open!
It's like a person rushing to the lake in the cold winter, trying to catch a fish, but not only is he blocked by the ice, he also slips and falls on the ice.

The Blood Marquis narrowed his eyes in confusion.

"interesting."

The Blood Marquis commented with a condescending attitude.

In the eyes of the Blood Marquis, Arthur obviously used a similar "cheap" method as the old lion, but the only difference was that Arthur was more clever.

Just like back then...

Charlie!

When he thought of the man who had deceived him twenty-six times, the Blood Marquis could not help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.

The originally condescending posture immediately became tense and gnashing of teeth.

"go to hell!"

The Bloody Marquis growled angrily.

Suddenly, the 120,000 creatures in the "Blood River" began to wail together -

Ahhhhh!

Tragic, filled with the unwillingness, anger and resentment at the moment of death.

It turned into the most terrifying and most shocking force.

'The Grudge'!
The power of the curse changed from being invisible to being visible, and it was pitch black and surging constantly.

The next moment, the sunlight was blocked out.

A hideous head poked out from the darkness.

The open mouth was filled with fangs, biting towards Arthur viciously.

Then--

click!
The sharp teeth collided with each other, and with a crisp sound, the ferocious black head bit into nothing.

Do not!
To be precise, the teeth slid away with the head.

Click, click, click!
It happened three times in a row, and it slipped open each time.

Roar!
The 'power of the curse' suddenly exploded, transforming into tiny black lines that drilled into the pores on Arthur's skin.

In just a moment, Arthur was wrapped up, forming a black 'cocoon'.

However, the Blood Marquis frowned.

Because, all the 'power of the curse' slipped away.

Not a single drop of it entered Arthur's body.

Do not!
There is not the slightest contamination.

'Is this the power of quantitative change, led by 'blood'?

It turned out to be the power of a curse!'

Arthur marveled in his heart.

However, there was no trace of panic on his face.

Because he was under the force field of [Sliding Technique].

It is no longer Lv1's [Glide].

It was at Lv5 level, and had a major breakthrough in upgrading to Lv4, consuming 100000XP of [Glide].

[Gliding Skill Lv5: The earliest appearance of the Gliding Skill was because Hulk created this secret skill in order to survive the long winter in the Empire and stand out among his friends playing marbles. Initially, it could only save effort for the librarians of our Empire when walking, but everything changed as the level increased. Especially when it reached Lv5, the practitioner could not only "slide" away malicious attacks, but even time and fate would no longer be able to lock on to you.]

[Effect: 1, Slide; 2, No stain]

[Sliding: You can slide on the ground, water, or air at high speed without moving your feet. It is fast and effortless.]

[Untainted: As long as your physical strength is sufficient and your spirituality is sharp enough, anything that affects you will be rejected.]

(Note 1: Not affected by external malicious influences, but the emotions generated by oneself cannot be rejected by Bu Ran)
(Note 2: The level cap of this skill has been reached)

……

Just as Arthur had initially guessed, [Sliding] really did violate some rules.

Especially as the level increases, this effect becomes more and more obvious.

Of course, after gaining a large amount of XP recently, I chose [Glide] not because of my previous guess, but because of intuition.

Intuition brought by 59.1 points of [Spirituality].

In order to improve the [Glide Skill], Arthur used up all of his accumulated 12wXP points.

However, killing the 'old lion' brought him more gains.

[Kill Severus Hamlet (Marshal Human Puppet Level V. Extreme), XP+150000]

……

Standing in the cocoon formed by the 'power of the curse', Arthur felt his physical strength being drained away.

Not too big.

It's about the level of jogging.

As long as it is well controlled, it can last a long time.

Of course, being beaten passively was not what Arthur wanted.

However, his intuition told him that his existing secret skills and talents could cause great trouble to the Blood Marquis, but he could not kill the Blood Marquis in the true sense.

Therefore, the young psychic once again turned his attention to his skill column.

Relying on his intuition, Arthur quickly locked onto two skills.

【Abdel's Fire Control Technique】!
【Magic Wand Fighting】!
Similarly, these two secret skills also require a lot of XP when advancing from Lv4 to Lv5, which is the kind of major breakthrough.

Each Mystic Breakthrough Level 5 requires 50000 XP points.

Before, this was an unbearable number for Arthur.

but now?

More than enough!

[Abdel's Fire Controlling Technique Lv5: After being stuck in the bottleneck of the 'Fire Controlling Technique' for ten years, Abdel had a breakthrough in the seventh year after leaving his teacher, the court jester 'Harrington'.

After witnessing the dancing of fireflies, the eruption of underwater volcanoes and meteors streaking across the night sky, Abdel found his own direction.

Taking this opportunity, Abdel truly left the realm of mortals and gained the reputation of "Lord of Fire".

[Effects: 1, fire control; 2, ignition; 3, tracking; 4, explosion]

[Fire Control: You can control any flame within a radius of 500 meters with you as the center, and the flame is not more than level V. You can manipulate it at will, make it into various shapes, or use it as a cannonball and shoot it out. At the same time, you can also make it turn into a large number of fireflies to cover and attack certain areas.]

[Ignite: You don’t need to touch, your eyes can melt the steel within 10 meters of you]

[Tracking: The flames you shoot out can lock onto the target within your field of vision]

[Explosion: After the flames you shoot out hit the enemy, you can perform another explosion of level I-V according to your ideas.]

(Note 1: When the flame control distance exceeds the radius of 500 meters, it can still be affected by you, but it cannot be controlled freely)
(Note 2: When the flame begins to change, the object it changes into can be three times the size of the flame's original size, but the power remains the same)
(Note 3: The emitted flames, in addition to the original flame power level, gain additional blessings from your Ⅰ-Ⅴ levels)
(Note 4: When ignited, steel can melt, or it can transmit high temperature under your control)
(Note 5: You need sufficient physical strength to support your secret technique)

……

Abdel, the court jester's student, finally gained something and showed Arthur how powerful he was.

However, what surprised Arthur the most was [Wand Combat]——

【Magic Wand Combat Technique Lv5: In the middle of the Silver Age, the alchemist 'Ms. Abel' created this secret technique. The original purpose was just to make up for her lack of physical strength and make it safer when going out to look for materials. However, as time went by, she continued to improve this secret technique and finally reached the level of Lv4. However, she was not satisfied. In the end, she witnessed several fights between demigods in the 'War of Demigods' and found her own 'magic wand combat method'! 】

[Effect: Consume a considerable amount of physical strength, use the 'Ga' to perform a secret technique, give the cane magic power, and within 3 minutes, it will become a magic wand with top-level combat ability, extraordinary toughness, and extraordinary speed. This magic wand can also have a secret technique you master.]

(Note 1: The caster has only one 'magic wand', and the 'magic wand' cannot master 'magic wand fighting')
(Note 2: Only when the ‘magic wand’ in your hand is completely broken can you choose a new ‘magic wand’)
(Note 3: The ‘magic wand’ cannot leave the 100-meter radius of the caster)
(Note 4: The fighting ability of the Lv5 'Magic Wand' is equivalent to that of a fighting master. It has both master-level skills and master-level 'aura', and can use the unique skills of fighting masters)
(Note 5: The wand's 'superb toughness' is equivalent to having a level I force field protection)
(Note 6: The wand's 'superb speed' is equivalent to the speed of a combat master +3 extra)

(Note 7: The secret technique of the 'magic wand' brand will not affect you, but your physical strength consumption will be doubled)
……

"It's actually possible!"

Arthur looked at the changes in [Wand Combat Lv5] and his eyes widened unconsciously.

Without hesitation, he chose to imprint [Abdel's Fire Controlling Technique] on the 'magic wand' in his hand.

Then Arthur raised his hand and threw his cane out.

Whoosh!
The cane is like a javelin, breaking through the air with a sharp sound.

A unique 'aura' surrounds it.

The cocoon formed by the 'power of the curse' directly broke through this layer of 'aura' and tore it apart.

"Um?

Fighting Master?!"

The Blood Marquis looked at the cane with a fat cat as the top in great surprise.

The fighting master, Blood Marquis had naturally seen him before.

He even killed more than one fighting master by relying on his own bloodline and secret skills.

This is true even if a fighting master has an 'aura' that is said to be able to break all mystical techniques.

After all, as human beings, we will get tired and exhausted.

This is true even for martial arts masters who claim to have honed their bodies to perfection.

but,
The fighting master is human.

What's going on with the cane in front of him? Confused in his heart, but reacting quickly, the Blood Marquis looked at the flying cane and struck it with a flick of his finger.

A scarlet light flashed out.

then……

broken!

Do not!
To be precise, it was smashed by Arthur's cane.

The moment the tip of the staff touched the scarlet light, the scarlet light shattered.

"Humph!"

Feeling that familiar 'aura' again, the Blood Marquis couldn't help but snort coldly. He hated these lunatics who honed themselves to the extreme.

But what he hated even more was why a piece of broken wood could make him feel threatened.

Without dodging, the Blood Marquis raised his hand and grabbed the cane.

In the palm of his hand, a rich red light was brewing.

"Even if you have 'aura', can you break my 'blood' in an instant?

Just give me a moment...

I can break you!"

The Blood Marquis sneered.

There is no doubt that the Blood Marquis has found the weakness of [Wand Fighting].

Even with 'Extraordinary Toughness', the Level I force field protection is still not enough for the Blood Marquis.

Snapped!
The Bloody Marquis grabbed the 'magic wand'.

Blood filled the palm of his hand.

The speed at which the 'aura' is broken is still fast.

But the 'blood' is too thick.

Even though the 'aura' was broken extremely quickly, it still consumed an extra breath at this time.

This still allowed the Blood Marquis to grab the other end of the 'magic wand' with his other hand.

Then, the Blood Marquis was about to break the 'magic wand' with force.

But at this moment, Pendragon's eyes lit up on the orange cat stick that emerged from the end of the Blood Marquis's palm.

Hot!

A burning sensation that cannot be described in words appeared in the area of ​​the heart.

"what!"

With a low scream, the Blood Marquis once again turned into those hundreds of blood demon insects.

Ever since the Blood Marquis learned about the existence of the Blood Demon Bug, a bug that specifically targets the "Blood Clan", he has been thinking about how to deal with this bug.

After consuming ten insect eggs, the Blood Marquis found a solution.

He discovered that although the blood demon worms could target everything of the 'Blood Clan' and loved to suck the blood of the 'Blood Clan', once the blood demon worms had sucked enough blood from a member of the 'Blood Clan', they would become extremely dependent on this member of the 'Blood Clan' and regard him as a close relative.

This discovery is useless to the vast majority of members of the "Blood Clan".

Because the blood demon worm has a huge appetite.

One blood demon worm is enough to suck dry three members of the "Blood Clan".

Even the Blood Marquis at that time couldn't cope with it.

Until the Blood Marquis took control of the 'blood'.

At that moment, the Blood Marquis wished to actually feed the blood demon worm.

However, the blood demon worms had already become extinct by that time.

But due to Arthur's [bluff] of the 'Old Lion', the blood demon worm appeared again.

The Blood Marquis, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately began feeding.

Therefore, it looks like it has been completely eaten.

Although the scene was scary, the feeding was successful.

Not only was it successful, it also allowed the Blood Marquis to use these blood demon insects that sucked his blood as his substitutes, and as the basis for his secret techniques.

It is even possible to say that he has a hundred lives.

only……

The one hundred lives at this moment are gone in the blink of an eye——

A blood demon worm was stared at by the cat's eyes on the "magic wand". The temperature began to rise rapidly, and when the flame appeared, it began to explode.

boom!
A small fireball exploded into hundreds of small sparks.

These small sparks fell on the remaining blood demon insects, causing another explosion.

Boom boom boom!
Amidst a series of explosions, Arthur's voice came out from the cocoon of the 'Power of the Curse' -

"You didn't think that after I knew you had mastered 'blood', I couldn't guess that you had already researched a secret technique to deal with the blood demon worms?

Since I dared to say such words, I naturally have a response plan.

just like……

You've always wanted to stir up my blood."

Arthur's voice was full of laughter.

The previous one is naturally a lie.

The latter is true.

Arthur was extremely grateful after he chose to upgrade [Gliding] based on his intuition.

He could clearly sense that if it weren't for the [Sliding Technique] that rejected the power of the Blood Marquis's 'blood', even with his [Physique] of 62.2 he would be affected by the 'blood'.

By then, we will be at a disadvantage.

However, facing an existence like the Blood Marquis, if one falls into a disadvantage, there would be no recovery.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Moreover, on the contrary, Arthur had the upper hand.

The explosions continued, with hundreds of flames flying straight into the blood river.

Arthur's voice did not stop -

"Feel the gift I specially prepared for your 'Blood River'!"

Still full of smiles.

But the Blood Marquis who was hiding in the 'Blood River' felt a tightness in his heart.

He suspected Arthur was bluffing him.

However, the scene that just happened told him that Arthur was really prepared.

Between belief and disbelief, the Blood Marquis chose...

dodge!

He was just being cautious.

He told himself this.

However, at the moment when the Blood Marquis controlled the "Blood River" to dodge, the hundreds of flames that were originally red suddenly turned into blazing white.

Moreover, the speed was more than ten times faster.

Puff puff!
Hundreds of balls of blazing white flames instantly ignited the entire 'Blood River'.

The speed was like sparks falling on gasoline.

The Blood Marquis who was hiding in the 'Blood River' was also burned.

"Holy Flame of the Blazing Sun!
Why is it the Holy Flame of the Sun? "

The miserable screams were extremely loud.

'How do I know it's the Holy Flame of the Fiery Sun?
Aren't you the one who chose them, Lord Marquis?

Arthur complained in his heart.

His eyes turned to the [Bluff] value.

【20028500/-】

When the so-called 'Holy Flame of the Burning Sun' burned, the [Bluff] value directly decreased by 10 million. Fortunately, because of the successful deception of the Blood Marquis, the [Bluff] value began to increase again.

About ten seconds later—

[Kill 'Blood Marquis' ('Blood' Level V. Extreme), XP+300000]

……

As this information appeared, two balls of light, one large and one small, one red and one white, appeared in front of Arthur.

At the same time, ripples appeared in the void, and a right hand with a pure silver ring inlaid with bones on the ring finger suddenly stretched out and grabbed the two light balls.

Arthur, who saw this scene, did not move.

The young psychic smiled and said:

"You finally came!"

Suddenly, the palm that was about to touch the two light balls paused.
