Aslai, who was supposed to have left, stood on a hill just fifty kiloters from the crater. He fixed his gaze on Han Wu, carefully assessing the situation. Beside him stood two other vampires, both Demigods.
One of the vampires, Xue Wei, raised her sniper and sneered at Han Wu. “Aslai, is that the Young Master the higher-ups sent here for training? He looks weak to .”
The older vampire, Cairn, stood solemnly and replied, “His position must be significant if he wields both the Death Aspect and the Darkness Aspect. Xue Wei, you should be more cautious in your judgnt. Our god will kill you without hesitation if you insult him.”
Xue Wei scoffed at Cairn’s advice. Our god loves the most. He would never kill .
Aslai focused his blood-red eyes on Han Wu’s movents. This was one of his Divine Skills from the Blood Aspect, called Blood Eyes. It gave him vision within 100 kiloters and let him share what he saw with his allies. Still, even he could not pierce the Eternal Night that Han Wu had conjured.
Eternal Night remained active, which confird that Han Wu was unhard. Moreover, the Elite Lightchaser Wolves were too weak to slay a Demigod on their own. Aslai felt confident Han Wu was safe, yet a seed of doubt lingered. It had taken Han Wu over five minutes just to dispatch several Lightchaser Wolves.
Even Aslai started mocking Han Wu in his heart. Is that Demigod really that weak? Han Wu should have needed only a few strikes to finish off the Lightchaser Wolves. Could he be soone who looks powerful but lacks true strength?
What Aslai did not realize was that Han Wu was using the Eternal Night to test and refine his powers.
“Death Divine Skill: Heart Crusher.”
“Death Divine Skill: Decapitation.”
“Death Divine Skill: Immolation.”
...
It could be said that every thod of dying could be considered a distinct Death Divine Skill. During his training, Han Wu transferred the sensations of the deaths he had experienced onto the Lightchaser Wolves multiple tis.
He then tossed the dead Lightchaser Wolves into a Dark Pocket. It was a Darkness Divine Skill that rapidly accelerated decomposition, converting the corpses’ nutrients into energy to restore Han Wu’s stamina. This skill also transford the corpses into Dark Beings that he could summon at will.
Han Wu also had his Defiance Divine Skill: Souleater Gaze, which allowed him to consu souls to nourish his own. In effect, every enemy he killed contributed fully to strengthening himself.
After killing all the Lightchaser Wolves, Han Wu deactivated Eternal Night and exhaled a deep breath of relief. The Death Divine Skill proved powerful but drained a significant amount of his stamina. He had faced several near-death experiences just to eliminate the wolves.
Xue Wei noticed Han Wu’s exhaustion and mocked him further. “He only killed a few Lightchaser Wolves and already looks so weak. How could he gain any aningful rit here? Dream on.”
Aslai frowned. Judging by Han Wu’s condition, he could easily die if left unprotected. Still, Aslai felt so relief knowing the Elder continued to guard him.
Suddenly, Cairn noticed sothing was wrong. “Wait, an angel has sneaked into the area. It’s heading straight past the Young Master’s base!”
Aslai’s panic spiked, and he ordered urgently, “Xue Wei, take out that angel with your sniper.”
Xue Wei showed no urgency. She was more than happy to let Han Wu perish. To her, a maggot like Han Wu was nothing but a liability on the battlefield, and liabilities had to be removed.
“Fine,” she grumbled, raised her sniper, and slowly took aim at the approaching angel. With a sharp crack, she fired a blood-crystal bullet. The angel took the hit and tumbled several tis, but the shot missed any vital spots, leaving it alive for now.
The angel quickly activated a Skill to heal its wound and grabbed nearby objects to shield itself from further fire. Instead of scouting, it searched for an escape route from the deadly situation.
Within a minute, the bullet wound on its head fully healed. The angel then darted back to its companions, slipping into the center of their group to avoid another attack.
Xue Wei’s bullets were no ordinary ammunition. She had tracked the angel’s movents through her scope and watched it retreat to its group. A vicious smile spread across her face as she uttered, “Blood Divine Skill: Bloodburst.”
Suddenly, the angel she had shot exploded, and its blood transford into needles that shot outward. Several angels were struck, and their wounds bled profusely. Even their healing Skills failed to stop the bleeding.
Fortunately, a Demigod Archangel stood among them. He unleashed his Divine Skill to cleanse the Corrupted Blood status from his allies. Though the bleeding ceased, most of the angels could not recover their energy quickly.
The angels’ faces were pale, and they could barely summon half their power to fight. While Xue Wei fired her bullet, Cairn had already closed in on the group. Now in striking range, he saw their weakened state and seized his chance.
With a roar, he unleashed his Blood Divine Skill: Blood Letter. A nacing sword, forged entirely from blood, materialized in his hands. At the sa ti, several blood clones erged, and he launched into a relentless assault on the angels.
Those struck by his Blood Letter could not stop their bleeding. The larger the wounds, the more blood they lost. The already weakened angels stood no chance under Cairn’s ruthless attack. They looked like helpless teenagers, completely incapable of putting up a fight.
The Archangel quickly realized that his forces had been spotted. His enemies remained hidden in the shadows while he was fully exposed. If this continued, he would be the next to fall. Thus, he made the swift, cold decision to sacrifice his troops. He would rather use the remaining angels as a diversion and make his escape than let them all die here.
Cairn hadn’t expected the Archangel to flee at full speed. He finished off the angels nearby and gave chase, but he couldn’t match the Archangel’s speed. All he could do was watch as the figure raced straight toward Han Wu’s position.
He imdiately sent a signal to Aslai, urging them to fire another round to take the Archangel down. Aslai quickly ordered Xue Wei to kill the escaping Archangel.
Xue Wei rolled her eyes and said nonchalantly, “Fine, fine. You don’t have to be so annoying.”
She lifted her sniper rifle and peered through the scope, spotting the Archangel less than three kiloters from Han Wu. Her lips curled into a mocking smile. “A Young Master? Hmph. Let’s see how you handle an Archangel.”
She pulled the trigger, but this ti, she deliberately missed. Her bullet veered wide, giving the Archangel the opening he needed to break into Han Wu’s base.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, the Archangel sensed the overwhelming surge of pure Dark Energy radiating from Han Wu. The force of it made him abandon any thought of escape. He didn’t know who this person was, but the sheer potency of that energy marked him as soone important. Killing Han Wu took priority. Even if it cost him his life, he was prepared to drag Han Wu down with him.
