Guet looked expressionlessly at the blood-colored barrier in front of him that kept breaking and repairing itself.

Feeling the terrifying power contained in the pitch-black lance, a trace of loneliness flashed in Guet's eyes.

Even at his prime, he might still die from this blow.

But——now I don’t have to worry about these things at all.

Life and death are no longer in our own hands, so we might as well just wait and see what Moore's plan will turn out to be!

A crazy look appeared on Guette's face, and he began to utter a series of strange and awkward syllables in a low voice.

As he chanted gradually, the air around him seemed to solidify, and traces of blood energy that was even richer than the red light on his body appeared around him, surrounding him and the Blood Demon Tree.

The Blood Demon Tree surrounded by blood and energy suddenly shook, and then the flesh and blood tentacles growing from the tree began to break. The blood and energy at the roots of the tentacles quickly gushed out and condensed into strange tentacles formed by blood and energy.

A devil-like face emerged from the middle of the tree, as if it had its own intelligence, and it looked with longing in its eyes at the flesh and blood limbs and knights on the grassland not far away.

A few drops of liquid like blood were dripping from its mouth, and its tentacles were constantly waving in the air, as if it couldn't wait to devour the flesh and blood in its eyes, but was afraid of something and dared not to do it.

At this moment, a red light flashed across the hideous face of the Blood Demon Tree. The eyes of the Blood Demon Tree were lifeless at first, and then became crazy. Blood tentacles flew out and rushed straight to the flesh in its eyes.

"Yes, that's it... It's time."

The moment the blood tentacles rushed out, a faint whisper seemed to be heard in the air, but no one present heard this strange sound.

············Seeing the Blood Demon Tree beside him suddenly mutate and its tentacles flying towards his knights, Delon's face changed. He felt that he could not break the barrier in front of him in a short time. He looked deeply at Guet who was whispering an unknown spell.

Alas, it seems that I have to give up on dealing with him for the time being... With a helpless sigh in his heart, Delon gathered the strength in his hands, and the tip of the lance shook violently. With the help of this force, Delon wanted to withdraw and leave.

But at this moment, the red light that had been passively resisting his attacks suddenly took the initiative to wrap around him.

Sensing the red light suddenly lingering around him from behind, Delong did not stop but slashed back with a sword.

Just when he thought that the sword energy he swung out was enough to cut off the approaching red light, the red light behind him scattered when the sword energy hit him, and then condensed again as the sword energy passed by and chased after Delon.

Looking at the strange blood light that was chasing him like a thorn in his flesh, Delong stopped helplessly and turned around to deal with the strange red light that was several points faster than him.

…

Looking at the tentacles rushing towards them, Livia and Purvis moved at the same time. They leaned back to back, raised their weapons and looked at the blood tentacles that filled their field of vision.

Don't show your back.

Unlike Purvis's instinctive reaction from years of training and fighting, this was the "experience" Livia had learned from the attack she had just been subjected to by Guette.

Purvis looked at the blood tentacles in the air that seemed to devour everything and grinned.

"Your premonition is really accurate...

As accurate as a crow's mouth..." I...

You can't blame me for this, I just had a hunch...

Looking at the tentacles all over the sky, Livia's scalp felt numb.

“Who would have thought of this…

Well, do you have any good ideas?"

Livia asked with a wry smile, pushing her shoulder towards Purvis.

"If I had a way, why would I still be standing here?"

Hearing Livia's words, Purvis said unhappily.

Suddenly, their faces changed and they dodged to the sides.

boom!

Turning around and looking at the big pit behind him, Livia breathed a sigh of fear.

Sure enough, the experience of not exposing your back is very practical.

Looking at the empty pit, ripples suddenly appeared, and a strange tentacle formed by constantly flowing blood gradually emerged.

It can actually be invisible?

Looking at the semi-transparent blood tentacles, Livia's face looked a little ugly, and he quickly spread out his perception.

Unlike Livia, Purvis had already reacted when he saw the blood tentacles appear. Although there was not much strength left in his body, as a knight, he still raised his sword and rushed forward.

The code of chivalry is that you must not retreat, even when facing a formidable and powerful enemy!

This is a rule that has been passed down since the beginning of history. Although it may seem silly in the eyes of outsiders now, it is regarded as the truth by every true knight.

Because this was the chivalrous code established by the five hundred original knights. It was also because of this spirit of fearlessness of death that humans defeated the non-human race that ruled the Longwa continent at the time and became the new rulers of the continent.

With firm conviction, Purvis rushed to the blood tentacles, shouting and swinging the sword in his hand.

The blood tentacles disintegrated the moment they were cut, turning into a pool of blood that spilled onto the ground.

So easy?

This is much more fragile than the flesh tentacles he had cut off before. It shattered at the slightest touch.

Although according to physics, blood is indeed easier to cut than flesh, this is a different world with elements and magic. Why are we suddenly talking about science?

? ?

Seeing Purvis slashing at the flesh tentacles, Livia, who was about to provide support, looked at the spilled blood in surprise.

Not only Livia, but even Purvis himself looked at the blood tentacles disintegrating in front of him with some disbelief.

I was just trying to strike out, I didn't even use my strength, how come...

How come...

Suddenly, a strong sense of danger in front of him interrupted Purvis's thoughts. Purvis subconsciously spread the power of shadow throughout his body. The next moment, strange blood surged up from his iron boots, and in the blink of an eye he was surrounded by the blood, forming a huge blood ball with him as the center.

Everything happened so fast. It only took two or three seconds for the blood to suddenly appear on the iron boots and wrap Purvis' entire body in blood. Not to mention that Livia didn't react, even Purvis himself, who felt the danger at the first moment, could only barely form a basic defense on his body surface. The two of them didn't even react to what was happening.

Feeling the strange blood that was isolated from the shadow power and was constantly consuming the shadow power, Purvis reacted quickly and stimulated the few powers in his body without reservation.

Livia reacted quickly, a white light flashed under her feet, and she rushed towards Purvis quickly.
