《blood tax》Chapter 55 The Road Not Envisioned Part 2

"Unless you destroy your head, even if you stab me, it won't help!" The baron drew back the arm that passed through his chest, "Look, I don't even use weapons, and the power gap between you and me is irreparable. Okay. , I'm going to eat you!"
The baron of the blood clan crushed Griffith to the ground, rode up and grabbed his throat and looked at it to see where it was more delicious.
"Ah! I can't wait!" Baron Anselm opened his fangs and bit the apprentice knight's throat.
After a sting, the world seemed to quiet down.
Am I going to die? ...No, it's a fatal injury.
The soul link with Sonia did not take effect, and it seemed that there was a considerable distance between the two.
Griffith's consciousness began to blur, and he could barely feel that his blood was passing quickly along with his vitality. Before long, he will be a wrinkled and flat corpse.
"Hey, soldier, can you wash yourself and come find me?"
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have embarrassed the soldier who was at the ball for the first time. Can you dance?"
"Hey! You understand it quite well! Sure enough, human boys are more interesting!"
In Griffith's hazy consciousness, only Galadia's cheerful words were left, and her dexterous, light footsteps and slender back appeared in her mind.
Oh, yes, it really is more interesting to be a human boy, what do you mean by that? Has she ever had a boyfriend? Well, I have to ask her.
Griffith's body struggled as if driven by this thought.
Baron Anselm was feeding on Griffith like a beast. It takes a while to draw blood through the throat.
The vampire baron, who hadn't tasted pure blood for a long time, didn't notice at all that the unarmed human being was slowly raising his left hand, which was broken at the wrist, and pointed the bloody section at his head.
The blood at the broken wrist quickly condensed into ice cubes and turned into a sharp ice cone.
"What!" Before the vampire baron, who suddenly realized the danger, had time to raise his head, the ice pick pierced into his temple and stirred. Meanwhile, Griffith's broken right hand held him down hard.
"Ouch! What is this! It hurts! It's hard! It's rough!"
The baron shrieked and broke free with his terrifying power. However, there was an extra hole in his brain that could be inserted into a finger, and the brain and blood spurted out. As soon as he broke free he fell to the ground and began to twitch.
Did you kill him? This kind of blood ice cone is so effective. Griffith regained his strength as if returning to the light, turned over and stabbed the ice pick into the Baron's eye socket, and turned hard.
...
Where are Galadia and the others now? Are you safe?
Griffith was lying on the baron's twitching body, and his brain flashed one after another like a marquee, and he couldn't tell what was hallucination and what was reality.
"You seem to be full of unwillingness~" came a somewhat familiar voice, "Would you like to try to absorb the source of this vampire by yourself, starting from blood sucking, Minos will try to help you purify and let you live."

Is it the will of the bone ring Minos?
Griffith, who was already on the verge of death, turned over and bit the corpse of the vampire baron like grabbing a life-saving straw, and devoured the flesh from the wound in his stomach.
"Your desire to survive is really strong. Don't you usually have to tweak and negotiate some conditions? For example, Minos, what is the price?" Minos joked in a strange tone, "Okay, swallow it. , just like a rat swallowed by a snake, struggling with shit and urine!"
Under the dark woods, a figure crouched on top of another figure, first swallowing strangely, and then biting like a beast.
After an unknown amount of time, Griffith stood on the clearing in the forest with his hands and feet intact, looking at his broken limbs that had healed and his chest that had been penetrated not long ago.
Minos said lightly:
"You saved your life from a near-death state,There is good news and bad news.
"The good news is that you have retained some of the powerful self-healing characteristics of the blood race, and the healing ability of wounds is comparable to that of trolls;
"The bad news is you've eaten a dark creature and your sanity is falling like a cliff."
"Why can I save a life after eating a corrupted vampire?" Griffith looked at the broken wreckage on the ground. "Eating a corrupted creature can't have a healing effect, and I should also die or mutate."
A mighty, chaotic and evil vampire baron had been reduced to a pile of dead wreckage, disappearing into the cold wind of the night, leaving Griffiths unable to identify which parts he had eaten.
It's probably the soft wound on the stomach...
"Devouring mutant creatures will only leave the corpses of two mutant creatures lying here," Minos responded, "but Minos transformed the Beyonder characteristics of the blood race into energy that you can use, mixing the holy Knight Extraordinary characteristics, ignite them to drive, and complete the healing with the support of some unburned bloodline Extraordinary characteristics that you have contaminated."
"I didn't expect you to have such power?" Griffith said in awe. "What exactly are you?"
Minos is still the same old school:
"Minos, collect essentia and assist the bearer to evolve to a higher life form.
"Now you are still infected by the Extraordinary characteristics of a small number of dark creatures, and the Extraordinary characteristics of the agent are also retained. You may gain some abilities, and you will gradually breed some unknown hobbies and madness. Everything remains to be seen, If you don't want to go crazy, stop trying to drink blood.
"Most of your original Extraordinary characteristics were shattered in the process just now. Holy Light Strike can no longer be used, and the abilities that are not worth mentioning are irrelevant. The part of the Extraordinary characteristics of the spellbreaker now occupies the dominant position. Due to various factors, you have the physical condition of a Sequence 8 barrier-breaker, but you have not yet obtained the corresponding extraordinary abilities. As you grow, your promotion direction is still the path of the law-breaker.

"Minos collected the rare source substances of the blood race and mastered the knowledge of the blood spell; but Minos has not yet mastered the knowledge of the blood rune, so you can't use the blood spell for the time being.
"Next, you must always remember the fact that you have been infected and corrupted by the darkness. The infection will push you into the abyss of madness, just like the one who was just eaten by you, make some crazy moves," said Some crazy talk like him. Once you lose your mind completely, you will also become an irreversible monster, ready to die in the dual sense of body and human society.
"Explore the way out as soon as possible. The longer you stay in this forest, the more madness you will accumulate. Your good sanity has been lost due to eating mutant creatures, so act quickly before you go crazy."
Minos fell silent immediately after his last words. No matter how much Griffith called, he stopped responding.
I still have a lot to ask, such as why I didn't get the memory fragment of Baron Anselm, which is very valuable; besides, the baron's sequence should not be low, how can his characteristics burn with the Beyonder characteristics of the agent No... Griffith thought worriedly, reaching for a broken branch and using a dagger to sharpen a sharp angle at one end as a weapon.
Now he has been significantly improved in terms of self-healing, strength, agility and mental power, and he has also mastered the knowledge of two magic spells of Baron Anselm: incarnating black bat swarms and creating blood puppets.
Griffith gave it a try, ready to create a puppet that could be driven. As soon as he thought about it, the noise roared in his brain like a storm, almost bursting him.
The blood spell failed like other spells. It seems that to use these two spells, it is still necessary to condense the runes of the corresponding attributes through Minos.
Griffith tried the Holy Light Blow that he obtained after the advanced step again. Sure enough it couldn't be activated. The essence of Light Strike is prayer, asking for the Light's gaze and empowerment. Deteriorated Griffith is no longer a standard paladin, and naturally he will not receive favor and favor.
However, the reckoning from fighting instinct and physical fitness can still be used. More importantly, Griffith, who was originally mortal, survived by chance and became an incompetent barrier breaker, which was already a good result.
The corpse of the blood baron was completely weathered and disappeared into the cold wind. A black short sword appeared on the bare mud floor.
This is a magic weapon. The blade was no more than ten inches long, and the hilt was as dark as obsidian. The center of gravity, the structure are perfect, and the rotation between the wrists is extremely flexible.
The baron did not use the weapon throughout the battle. Maybe his own strength is enough to crush Griffith and the others, on the other hand, it may be because this weapon has a special meaning to him, and its value as a souvenir is higher than that of a weapon.
Griffith tried the short sword with great interest, and then poured his spiritual power into it according to the knowledge in the book to establish a connection with the magic weapon.
Soon, some new knowledge appeared in his mind.
"Corrupted Feather Fencing.
"Infused with the aura of depravity, this magic blade inflicts intense and continuous Shadow damage on impact. This effect occurs only once every half hour.
"Using or looking at this magic blade will confuse the wielder's mind, but the effects can be avoided simply by retracting the scabbard.
"This is not the form of the feather fencing, maybe you can find someone to try to purify it."
The blade that was supposed to be silver no longer had a trace of its original light. Griffith carefully played with this monster weapon, and found that there was a line of beautiful elf characters engraved on the top of the hilt.
It's still the work of spirits. Griffith did learn some Elvish characters and could recognize their meaning.
"May the starlight protect my Roland knight forever.
This weapon was given to the Roland Knight by an elf, and then fell into the hands of Baron Anselm?
Is that the Roland knight in the ballad? Griffith was excited. The legendary warrior's footprints are all over the continent, and the adventures of him and his companions are sung by songs and are the goal pursued by every apprentice knight's childhood dream.
If it was really him, the elf who gave Roland knight this feather fencing might well be the elf who ventured with him. Her name in the story is Deidwishey, a legendary ranger from Canaan.
Galadia probably knew her!
Griffith, who felt that he had obtained a clue, happily tucked the corrupted Feather Fence into the buckle around his waist, turned around and found a wooden stick with a shape and length that satisfied him, and cut it into one piece with a dagger. wooden gun.
While doing these things, he hummed an unknown ditty, as if his mood was not heavy at all, and the situation was good.
Well, now we have to find a way out. Um, where am I?
Griffith suddenly became flustered, and his cheerful mood disappeared in a blink of an eye. It has been a while since I entered the Whispering Forest. The ubiquitous pollution and corruption in the forest have eroded my sanity. The longer I stay here, the more deadly I am.
At this time, there was a sound in the nearby trees. The apprentice knight immediately raised his wooden spear and pointed at the location where the sound came from.
A small figure emerged from the darkness. It was wearing a warm black coat and a gentleman's bonnet.
Brownie 2887, Gothra!
It climbed out of the dark bushes, looked at the apprentice knight not far away, patted the dirt on its body with a smile, took off its little round hat and bowed in salute.
"Good evening, Thutoral."
