Chapter 838 Courage is the last piece of equipment
Andrea's eyes, which seemed empty and lifeless because they were obscured by Hengwo, widened slightly.
A layer of dusk-colored crystals like frosting covered it with a crackling sound, turning the flesh and blood into rock and condensing the soul into it.
Andrea, who was caught off guard and petrified, maintained the posture of gathering thunder, and her whole body turned into a stone statue!
The pure white lightning that was tightly grasped in his right hand also dissipated because it could no longer be maintained.
The escaping lightning dissipated into countless pure white snakes, landing on the chandelier, carpet, and corpse, leaving a trail of charred black marks. It was conceivable that if this strike had landed directly on the princess's soul, even if it didn't instantly destroy her soul, it would definitely have caused immediate and severe damage!
Andrea also lost the ability to fly and fell directly from the sky.
As she fell to the ground, the brittle stone statue shattered, collapsed, and broke into several pieces.
If Aiwass canceled the petrification at this time, it would be equivalent to tearing her into several pieces... and causing fatal damage to her immediately.
However, Aiwass did not do so, but slowly withdrew his hand.
For others, perhaps removing the petrification would kill her instantly. But for a Moon Child, especially one of the Blood Lord rank... it would be better to just seal her like this.
"...You are quite courageous."
Aiwass said admiringly to the princess whose dark soul had flown away and returned to its original form, "She must be a blood lord... Facing such a spellcaster with such flexible casting ability, you dare to expose your weakness and charge forward directly."
As the superior class to the Blood Mage, the Blood Lord is the Blood Sky Master's ancestral class. Therefore, even after transforming into a Moon Child, they retain all their extraordinary powers. This is equivalent to superimposing the Moon Child's powerful racial attributes on top of the spellcasting ability of the same level and path.
The characteristic of the Blood Mage class is that they can ignore the spell materials, spell chants, and the required mana attributes, and directly draw on their own vitality to charge and cast spells... They can also convert all of their mana pools into their own vitality.
But their most difficult point lies in the flexibility of casting spells.
Although they learn spells very slowly, far slower than other spellcasters, and can only learn spells one power level lower than their own... once they learn a spell, they can disregard the limitations of mana pool and spell materials, and can use all spells flexibly and almost instantly. Although casting spells will cause health loss, and the same spell has a cooldown, they can still cast a large number of different spells in a short period of time.
The instantaneous outburst can be said to be extremely terrifying.
Coupled with the Blood Lord's extremely vigorous vitality... as long as he didn't die immediately, he could quickly recover his vitality by sucking blood. Even if he didn't suck blood, under the moonlight, he could still recover blood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Moreover, for the Blood Lords, even if they are fatally injured by assassins or warriors of the same level, their bodies can automatically recover, no matter if it is a broken heart or a severed head.
That's why the assassins of the Hawkeye Organization need to use "cursed poison" in addition to their deadly weapons.
Although for ordinary people, this is definitely a damage overflow - just like enchanting an RPG with armor penetration and then attacking infantry, whether it is enchanted or not, the damage is evenly distributed within 50 meters and there is no difference at all.
However, against a Blood Lord of the same level, even ten strikes to the vitals might not kill him. In such cases, poisoning makes sense.
In the game, this is the most popular spellcasting profession among PVP players in the mid-game. Even if the player cannot become a child of the moon, the strength of the profession itself is enough to be called T1 level.
Because the Blood Lord's spells don't require chanting and don't have a mana pool, he doesn't even need a staff... and he doesn't have to worry about wearing armor reducing his spellcasting success rate.
If you also multiclass other warrior classes, you can wear reassuring heavy armor. With a warhammer or halberd, you're both tanky and capable of dealing damage. This class is pure stats... and the controls are surprisingly simple.
The most important thing is that the Blood Lord is not even a fool who can be kited - if you are willing to burn his blood, he can fly at high speed for a short time, rush forward and use a hammer to deal 80 damage.
This profession will not start until later, when spellcasters have obtained high-level spells and their strength has increased... their spell level will always be one level lower, and this is when scraping will begin.
"no way……"
Princess Noelle breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a bit frightened.
She shook her head: "All I can muster is courage..."
As she spoke, she seemed inexplicably depressed.
Obviously... this is because she feels powerless about the current political situation in Xingti.
Even if she wanted to salvage it all, she had no idea how to do it.
With the independence of the Narcissus Principality, a major export-earning region, Star Antimony's economy has completely collapsed. Chaos has swept the country, and prices have skyrocketed. People are so panicked that they stockpile food and weapons and flee to the countryside. The streets of major cities are full of looters, and normal customers are nowhere to be seen. Local government departments have completely shut down, and even the police have begun a strike...
Even the top leadership was completely divided into four factions, with no room for compromise among them.
The Psychic Tower has been completely isolated and seems ready to run away at any time; the Demonology Society and the Alchemy Association are completely separated and in fierce conflict with each other; the Red Clan, although weak, is extremely united and has the help of foreign forces... Add to that the covetous Iris and the newly independent Narcissus Principality and Black Eagle Principality, and Xingti has entered the most difficult time since its founding.
At this moment, Noelle had no idea what to do or what he could do.
Noelle was certainly willing to work hard... but her talents were limited. Whether it was governing a country, interpersonal skills, or extraordinary abilities, none of them could be considered outstanding. Valentine VII simply didn't dare hand the country over to her, but her brothers and sisters were also unreliable.
...Would it have been better if we had been more resolute and taken Avalon by force?
Sometimes, Noelle would think like this late at night.
That won’t work, she thought.
Although the bombing by the Avalonian Griffin Legion was just a warning, she had no doubt...if the war really started, the Avalonians would also launch equal retaliation against Xingti.
Or simply give up power earlier, let the Son of the Moon take control of power and merge with the Son of the Moon of Iris, so as to restore the land during the imperial period... In that case, although the monarch will no longer be Valentine, perhaps the people will live a better life.
But no matter what, she couldn't come up with any solution to the desperate situation before her.
——If I could be promoted to the fifth energy level, maybe the situation would be somewhat better.
The ordinary fifth energy level strength is not enough - it can only be helpful if you advance through the New Moon Ceremony and obtain rare path characteristics.
This was the last resort she came up with.
That's why she came to participate in this extremely dangerous promotion.
Simply because "courage" is the last trump card she can pull out...
"--No."
Aiwass seemed to see through her thoughts and shook his head slightly.
"That's not courage at all."
The young Pope whispered, “This is an escape.
"You're simply using pain, risk, and self-harm to save your impending mental collapse. You've already done everything you can, and even if the current situation is unfavorable, there's nothing you can do. So, you try to do things that 'will make you try your best,' which quickly drains you of all your energy...
"That's just coping, Your Highness. It doesn't solve anything, not even for yourself... It only preserves your self-esteem, nothing more."
