"Keu, keuaaaak……!"
The middle of the Eastern Witch Coven's massive training ground.
Amidst the echoing desperate screams, the 50,000 True Blood legion, led by Duke Raiel and Count Camillos, were kneeling on the floor with their sleeves rolled up in unison.
Over their thick blood vessels, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers approached like cold-hearted mechanical nurses and ruthlessly inserted ignorantly thick blood collection tubes.
"L-Lord……! The blood, my origin is draining away……!"
Camillos groaned, scraping the floor with a pale, frightened face.
To the True Blood clan, blood was life force and magic power itself.
Having ruled as aristocrats for thousands of years and coveted the blood of others, they had now conversely been reduced to dairy cows on a factory rail, getting their blood sucked out alive to become someone's potion ingredients.
Riding the transparent special tubes, the bright red and sticky True Blood poured out rapidly and began to steadily fill up the massive magic power tanks.
"My, as expected of elite vampires. Even the color of the blood is very brilliant."
When ordinary monsters or vampires rise as undead, the blood inside their bodies rots pitch-black, inevitably reducing it to poison, let alone a potion.
However, the blood flowing through the blood collection tubes right now was qualitatively different.
The entities Kim Minwoo had revived with [Return of the Dead] by pouring in astronomical materials and the magic power of a Higher God.
They had been resurrected with color returning to their shriveled skin and their stopped hearts beating roughly, perfectly maintaining the massive life force and intelligence from when they were alive.
In other words, the blood being drawn out right now was the top-grade alchemical raw material itself, highly concentrated with the overwhelming life force inherent to the True Blood clan plus the death magic power of a Higher God.
The lower-tier True Blood soldiers, having their blood exploited in an instant, were already panting with their eyes rolled back and their skin shriveled like leather.
No matter how fraudulent a vampire's origin of blood passive was, if it was only drawn out without them eating anything, a limit was bound to come eventually.
Kim Minwoo tapped Hell Rhapsody on the floor with a tuk and commanded.
"Medic unit! Come in and rotate the heals!"
Cheolgeureok! Cheolgeureok!
As soon as the command fell, the skeleton priest unit lined up in the rear stepped forward in perfect order.
Paaaaaaat—!
[The priest unit casts Light of Madness!]
[A self-healing amplification buff is granted to all members of the True Blood unit!]
At that moment, the deep blue light of magic power spewed from the bodies of over 30,000 priests swallowed the True Blood legion whole.
Originally, the best way for the True Blood clan to recover their blood was to suck the blood of living creatures to replenish it.
However, that True Blood legion right now were undeniably undead revived by Kim Minwoo's Return of the Dead.
That meant the priest unit's undead-specialized heal would hit them exactly as intended.
Paaaaaaat—!
The skin that had shriveled like mummies swelled up in real-time, and the bright red True Blood rapidly filled and backflowed into their empty blood vessels.
"Good. If it's full, draw it again!"
The pressure of the blood collection tubes rose to the extreme, activating the ultra-high-speed infinite blood copying process where regeneration and exploitation occurred simultaneously.
The True Blood clan shed tears profusely as the pain of being drawn and the sensation of forced regeneration intersected, but bound by the absolute command of the creator, they had no choice but to continue donating blood like machines.
"Haa, haa…… L-Lord. Please…… it's truly the limit now. It feels like my soul will be chipped away any further……!"
When the Light of Madness buff ended, Count Camillos, whose blood had finally been squeezed to the limit of regeneration, collapsed to the floor and foamed at the mouth.
All 50,000 of the True Blood clan were sprawled on the floor, panting on the verge of life and death.
"You worked hard. Today's quota is fully met."
Kim Minwoo smiled pleasantly looking at the sloshing True Blood full in the tanks.
Then he tapped the Mythical-rank legacy strapped to his waist, the Belt of the Supreme Sovereign of Death, with a tuk-tuk.
"Everyone clock out. Go into the VIP rooms and get some good rest."
Syuaaaaak—!This story is hosted at novelping.com.
The crack of the subspace stretching out from the belt sucked up the 50,000 True Blood vampires sprawled on the floor completely like a vacuum cleaner.
[The True Blood legion has returned to the Belt of the Supreme Sovereign of Death.]
[The summoned state is permanently maintained, and the depleted health and mana of the True Blood clan begin to recover automatically.]
"This belt's options are truly a work of art every time I see them."
The biological limit that vampires must drink blood to recover. However, in front of the absolute ruling of the belt, such common sense was meaningless.
Normally, he just had to shove them inside the belt and it was over.
In emergencies, he would squeeze them one more time with the priest unit's Light of Madness, and normally, he would shove them into the belt for an auto-refill.
With the blood squeezed out so diligently like this…….
Kim Minwoo sucked all the True Blood contained in the tanks into the Blood Water Jade.
Syuaaaaak!
Inside the Blood Water Jade imbued with Medea's authority, the vampire's blood boiled up explosively.
The death controlled under the authority of a Higher God and the endless life force of the True Blood clan grotesquely fused and began to be refined into extreme True Blood magic power.
Like a crimson sun burning in the pitch-black darkness, the bead itself spewed a red light that seemed ready to burst.
[The Blood Water Jade has perfectly combined the 'Origin of the True Blood Clan'!]
[The 'Immortal Bloodline' for special mutation has been completed!]
"Good. It's time to eat, guys."
Kim Minwoo raised Hell Rhapsody and aimed at the 30 lined-up elite Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
[Using the skill, Compression (EX)!]
[Targets: The 'Immortal Bloodline' refined inside the Blood Water Jade + 30 Elite Dragon Tooth Soldiers]
Paaaaaaat—!
The death magic power of a Higher God swallowed the training ground whole.
The dark red bloody magic power that burst out of the Blood Water Jade like a waterfall was pressed down by the mystery of compression and began to ruthlessly seep into the alloy armor of the 30 Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
Kwagagagang—!
[The compressed energy of the True Blood fuses deep into the skeletons of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers!]
[Due to the abnormal bloodline mutation, the targets' existential traits are completely reconstructed!]
"Keuaaaaaa!"
"Kiiiiiik—!"
A bizarre transmutation as if planting blood vessels into them alive.
From the empty pupils of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, bright red bloody eye glints burned explosively instead of blue flames.
Over the pure white skeletons, pitch-black blood vessels of True Blood intertwined like spider webs, and a blood core resembling a heart was forcibly formed inside their rib cages.
The silver armor plates of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, which were armed with superalloys, imbibed the True Blood and were dyed a chilling dark red color, and between them, the red aura unique to vampires rose like a haze.
Baal's magic power, the essence of a Primordial Ancient Dragon, Megacorp's technological prowess, and finally, the life force of the True Blood clan.
It was the moment all the cheat codes were compressed into just thirty units.
[Transmutation Grand Success!]
[The 30 Elite Dragon Tooth Soldiers inherited the True Blood clan's 'Origin of Blood' ability limitedly!]
[Evolved into the new special mutated entity, 'Blood-sucking Dragon Tooth Soldier'!]
[Evolution Effect: Immortal Thirst — When inflicting physical/magical strikes on enemies, these entities absorb a certain percentage of the damage as their own life force to instantly regenerate destroyed bones and armor.]New chapters come out on NovelPing first.
Kim Minwoo burst into laughter looking at the bloody elite guard lined up before his eyes.
Their defensive power and firepower had already reached the extreme by absorbing the Demon Realm Grand Dukes and Megacorp's technological prowess.
But now they were even equipped with the vampire passive that automatically recovers their health and regenerates broken bones and armor in real-time every time they hit an enemy.
Terrible weapons that sucked blood just by grazing and regenerated endlessly no matter how much they were destroyed.
"We have to do a performance test. Vulcan. Go at it lightly once. Let's see how useful they've become."
— Keuhahahak! You bone bastards, all of you come at me! Let's see how much you can withstand my flames!
Vulcan opened his jawbone jjeok and burst into a hearty laugh. As soon as the command fell, the thirty Blood-sucking Dragon Tooth Soldiers flashed their bloody eye glints and surged toward Vulcan in unison.
Vulcan spewed hellfire to the front.
Huuuuuk—!
The Dragon Tooth Soldiers activated their formless skeletons to deploy shields and nimbly scattered, but they could not perfectly dodge the overwhelming firepower.
The limbs and superalloy armor of a few Dragon Tooth Soldiers grazed by the black flame melted down miserably like molten iron.
Originally, missing body parts were no different from a death sentence for the undead legion.
Even if they didn't break down immediately, if they didn't receive a priest's heal, they would be left in an incapacitated state.
However, at that moment.
Along with a bizarre friction sound, a bright red bloody haze rose from the melted stumps of the Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
Soon, bone roots forcibly intertwined, the alloy armor was restored, and new limbs regenerated in an instant.
— Oho?
Vulcan's eye glints flashed as if he found it interesting.
Of course, they couldn't continue growing infinitely.
Since they were consuming the stored energy of the blood core, recovering from fatal missing parts would likely be limited to about two or three times.
But with just that, their tactical value was already on a different level. Immortal weapons that recovered from fatal wounds on their own without a priest's support, burning two or three more lives and attacking.
Although there were only thirty of them, an ultra-elite Dragon Tooth Soldier direct guard unit where each and every one chewed up legion-level firepower was finally completed.
"This is good?"
Kim Minwoo nodded his head satisfyingly.
The 50,000 True Blood legion that could be used as top-grade meat shields and infinite life stacks.
The regeneration elixir that potion factory manager Choi Yuna was pulling all-nighters to churn out.
The Blood-sucking Dragon Tooth Soldier elite guard.
Down to the explosive growth of the Abyssal Golem Dolsoe.
"It's been a rewarding 4 days."
Smacking his lips satisfyingly, Kim Minwoo tapped the floor with the tip of Hell Rhapsody with a tuk-tuk.
"Now then, shall we slowly go pick up the next material."
The Flame of the Sun, the final material for unlocking the physical potential seal.
The sealed dimensional door, said to open for only a single day in 10 years when the stars align, was finally about to reveal its massive entrance.
"Mary."
— [Yes, great Captain.]
"Start the ark. You already pinpointed the coordinates, right?"
— [Of course. The sealed dimension located at the edge of the universe, the Tomb of the Forgotten Hearth. Route setting complete.]
The terrible chain of potential that had ensnared him for a very long time.
It was time to smash that final link.
