We're Already In Close Combat And You Still Say You're A Mage?

Relying on the stalactite pillars in the cave as cover, Xu Bai gradually approached the bloody barrier.

Soon, he arrived not far from the bloody barrier.

Xu Bai casually picked up a stone from the ground and gently threw it towards the bloody barrier. He quickly lowered his head, only revealing a pair of eyes, hiding behind the thick stalactite pillars to observe the situation outside.

The moment the stone hit the bloody barrier, a red light flashed at the impact point, and the hard stone immediately turned into powder.

Seeing this scene, he did not act rashly and decided to observe the surrounding situation first.

As early as just now, he had already seen that the ground in the bloody barrier sank downwards, forming a depression.

There is blood stored in this depression, forming a blood pool.

However, this blood pool only contains about half of the blood and is not filled up.

The blood pool was very large. On the ground around the blood pool, there was a circle of inverted crosses leaning toward the bottom of the blood pool.

Xu Bai roughly estimated that there were nearly 500 inverted crosses facing the bottom of the blood pool.

On each inverted cross, there is a human being tied to it.

These human beings were tied to the inverted cross. They were oriented in the same direction as the inverted cross, with their heads down and their feet up, with their heads pointing towards the blood pool in the center of the bloody barrier.

For these humans who were tied to the inverted cross, the arteries on both sides of their necks were cut open, and blood continuously poured out and flowed into the blood pool.

Some of these bloodletted humans are still struggling, while others have lost their vitality and become corpses.

Judging from the attire, these people who were tied to the inverted cross and bleeding were not only civilians, but also many vampire hunters wearing black windbreakers.

Those should be the hunters who were killed.

In addition to these, Xu Bai also saw that not far from the bloody barrier, there was another passage that could enter this huge underground cavity.

At the bloody boundary facing the passage, an opening about 5 meters wide and 3 meters high was opened to facilitate entry and exit.

Xu Bai saw that there were still bound hands of humans walking out of the passage under the escort of blood clan guards, and then entering through the opening of the blood barrier.

After entering the bloody barrier, they will be brought to these inverted crosses, like lambs to be slaughtered, waiting for death to come.

Some of them were numb and had expressionless faces, while others were frightened and trembling all over.

However, no one stood up to resist.

At this moment, there are nearly a hundred vampires busy around these inverted crosses.

They would examine the condition of humans tied to inverted crosses.

Whenever someone's blood is drained, his body will be taken off the inverted cross by the vampires and thrown into the blood pool.

Later, the vampires captured a human again, tied him to a cross, slit his throat, and brutally bled him.

After bleeding, repeat the previous steps.

The whole process is like an assembly line, mechanical and efficient.

Among them, a female vampire is obviously different from other vampires.

She was seen sitting on a leather sofa, looking at the other vampires busy in the bloody barrier.

There was an exquisite glass coffee table in front of her, with some pastries and food on it.

She crossed her legs and tasted the delicious food carelessly. There were several vampires serving her beside her.

Judging from this scene, this female vampire is obviously the owner of this place.

This female vampire wore a black-bottomed robe with gold patterns. Under the robe, her slender calves that were raised in the air were clearly outlined by tight leather pants, and she wore a pair of black mid-calf riding boots.

She has a beautiful face, with long dark brown hair tied behind her head, and her face is pale, but her red lips are like blooming roses, as delicate and delicate as if they are about to bleed, forming a sharp contrast with her pale skin. .

In her hand lay a rapier.

This stabbing sword is about 80 centimeters long and is silver-white in color. The hilt is inlaid with red gems.

Different from ordinary stabbing swords, this silver stabbing sword has several terrifying jagged blood grooves on its slender body.

This silver stabbing sword with a blood groove is like a gorgeous and dangerous snake. If the prey is not careful, it will be killed by it in one blow.

...

Xu Bai threw a detection skill at the female vampire.

"Tip: By comparing the intelligence attributes of both sides, you can obtain 100% of the enemy's personal information."

Gareth Cecil

Level: lv.7

Race: High Vampire (Second Evolution)

Health: 100%

Blood Energy: 130/130

Strength: 22

Constitution: 25

Speed: 30

Intelligence: 22

Charisma: 29

Lucky: 5

Active skill one: Blood Shadow

Blood Shadow lv.8: Galice Cecil consumes 50 points of his own blood energy to summon a blood clone that lasts for 5 minutes to assist the main body in fighting.

The damage caused by the blood clone is only 70% of the original body.

Cooling time: 30 minutes.

Active skill two: gold-burning blood

Gallis Cecil was inherited from the ancient blood family, and her body is filled with gold-burning blood that can release powerful power.

During combat, Galice Cecil can consume blood energy to put herself into a "blood-burning" state, causing an additional 35% blood damage to the enemy with each attack.

In the "Blood Burning" state, Galice Cecil consumes a point of blood energy every 15 seconds until it is exhausted, and the "Blood Burning" state automatically ends.

Cooling time: no cooling

Passive skill:

Rapier Master lv.9: Gallis Cecil is proficient in the rapier, and the melee damage caused by rapier weapons increases by an additional 9%.

...

As the Blood Marquis, Galice Cecil's strength far exceeds the Blood Count Carter Morse, whom Xu Bai had dealt with before.

Although the two sides were only one level apart in terms of title, their strengths were vastly different.

Perhaps, let’s put it in a simpler way.

Against the vampire Earl Carter Morse, Xu Bai only needed one punch to kill him.

If it were Marquis Gallis Cecil, he might be knocked down with two punches, and then use Break Evil to make up for it with an extra shot.

With Xu Bai's basic body value above 30 points and two basic passive skills of level 22, it can be said that it is easy to crush the enemy.

In this world, I am afraid that only the Duke of the Blood Race can fight with him.

However, even if his strength crushed the enemy, Xu Bai did not act rashly.

Just like now.

As more and more blood was poured into the blood pool, the blood pool in the blood barrier gave him a very bad feeling.

He vaguely felt that there was a powerful creature dormant in the blood pool, constantly absorbing the blood in the blood pool to replenish itself.

As for the vampire Marquis Gallis Cecil, her purpose should be to awaken the thing in the blood pool.

As for the blood-colored barrier that can easily turn rocks into powder, Xu Bai speculated that it should be the protective mechanism generated unconsciously by this mysterious creature while it was sleeping.

If that were the case, that would be terrible.

But Xu Bai had no intention of retreating.

In his perception, the mysterious creature at the bottom of the blood pool was still sleeping.

This leaves room for action.

Perhaps, as long as the subsequent battle is resolved quickly and does not wake it up, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai began to slowly move towards the opening at the other end of the bloody barrier with the help of the thick stalactite pillars in the cave.
