They all call me Great Master-Chapter 763 - 760 Roaring I

The Giant Snake Nidhogg was the strongest among Arthur's many pets.

It was a bona fide Entrant-level 'Ferocious Beast'.

But with Nidhogg's massive size and its command over other serpents, it could occasionally kill an ordinary 'Entrant' in an instant.

Add to that his treatment of it as if it were a brother.

So, if Nidhogg could become just a little stronger, Arthur would be delighted.

'Remember to leave the gold!

The rest, you can eat!' Arthur reminded Nidhogg in his heart.

'Hiss, hiss~'

Nidhogg immediately gave an enthusiastic, excited, and resolute answer.

As a test subject of the Mad Master Geppetto, Nidhogg was the product of multiple bloodline fusions.

Therefore, what kind of bloodline could strengthen itself had long become instinct.

Nidhogg knew that as long as it devoured the 'Devourer,' it would be able to reach the so-called 'Ascend Step'... No, 'Ascend Step' is a term for humans.

It should be—

Legendary Arcane Creature. Giant Snake. Nidhogg!

Labeled with its rank, anchored by the name given by Arthur.

The Giant Snake quickly swallowed the 'Devourer,' and its forty-meter-long body grew thicker, appearing almost like a gasoline barrel.

A drowsy feeling overcame it.

But still, Nidhogg remembered Arthur's command.

It began to swiftly move backward, towards the Inland River region within the West Berlin Territory.

It was safer there.

Feeling his pet Giant Snake recede into the distance, Arthur breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Arthur's intuition told him that this was one of his biggest gains for the night.

As for the other gains?

Arthur's fingers tucked inside his sleeve gently touched a dark red metal ring.

It was one of the 'props' 'borrowed' by 'Red Knight' Hazlitt.

[Name: Blood Rebellion]

[Type: Ring]

[Quality: Hero]

[Attributes: Blood Armor]

[Requirement: Not from the 'Bloodline Clan']

[Remarks: In any power, organization, or family, there are always one or two outcasts, and the 'Bloodline Clan' is no exception. 'Blood Drinker' Haibo was an existence that made the members of the 'Bloodline Clan' feel ashamed, annoyed, disgraced, and despised. Haibo, once considered the finest youth of the 'Bloodline Clan' and even acclaimed more than once by the Blood Marquis for his talent and abilities, did not let this recognition stop him from cunningly slaughtering his Bloodkin...

Haibo crafted this ring from the flesh and bones of his Bloodkin.

This 'Blood Drinker' engraved a line of text within the band— fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

'Did you think I would submit?']

…

[Blood Armor: Create a set of full-body armor with a Defense Level of Great Arcana using the enemy's fresh blood.]

(Note 1: At least 144 pounds of ordinary fresh blood is needed to form Blood Armor, but when the blood owner possesses 'Spirituality,' the amount of blood needed is greatly reduced. Furthermore, when the blood owner is an Entrant, the amount needed is reduced again, activating the Blood Armor's stability and thorns trait; stability will continuously absorb the enemy's fresh blood to repair and increase the Blood Armor's Defense Level, and once thorns are activated, any attack you face will backlash into the enemy's blood.)

(Note 2: When the blood owner reaches 'Ascend Step,' there's a considerable chance that 'Blood Armor' will solidify as one of your Talents.)

(Note 3: When the blood owner is a 'Demigod,' 'Blood Armor' will undergo a qualitative evolution. Similarly, this is also effective for the 'Blood Armor' Talent you possess.)

(Note 4: Once 'Blood Armor' has been solidified as a Talent, 'Blood Rebellion' will enter a cooldown of 720 days, requiring moonlight baths or gold recharges. When it is bathed in fresh blood again, it can shorten the cooldown period.)

(Note 5: If the 'Blood Armor' Talent bearer lacks 'Spirituality,' upon acquiring 'Blood Armor,' they will awaken 'Spirituality' instantly.)

…

A quite intriguing and magical prop.

That was Arthur's first thought after obtaining this item.

After all, as his strength increased, his understanding of the world around him deepened.

Even so, Arthur still did not understand how 'Spirituality' was generated.

Let alone bestow it upon someone.

But 'Blood Rebellion' can do it.

That's quite interesting!

You should know that the son of the Blood Marquis faced such a tragedy precisely because he lacked Talent, and the emergence of the "Blood Rebellion" seems like it might be able to resolve this issue. However, the requirement for this "Blood Rebellion" is that one is "not from the Bloodline Clan." Considering the son of the Blood Marquis had not Awakened, could he meet that condition?

If he does...

Then the so-called scheme of patricide by the "Blood Drinker" Haibo comes into question.

Particularly, the inscriptions within the ring spurred Arthur's imagination even further.

"The Bloodline Clan, huh?

What exactly happened back then?"

A light chuckle escaped from within Arthur.

The intuition of the young Southern Lost Spirit Medium told him he was getting closer to the truth of those past events.

However, the flashes of his Death Intuition warned him not to get too close.

It would spell big trouble.

Arthur was someone who greatly trusted his instincts.

Immediately, he cleared his mind once again, only recalling the other item returned by Hazlitt—

Secret Technique: Blood Burst.

A secret technique that uses one's own blood as a catalyst to detonate someone else's blood.

Very bizarre.

It belonged to the type that was silent and stealthy.

But utterly useless against those with Spirituality over 10.

Therefore, after merely perusing it, Arthur placed it inside his Atos's Box.

With the emergence of a better and more convenient prop, the Bracelet of Carmen, Arthur had already packed some less important items into Atos's Box.

For example: some body bags that were effective in preventing blood seepage and spices that masked the smell.

As a just and kind-hearted Spirit Medium, Arthur always believed in being prepared for unforeseen dangers.

Just like at this moment—

Arthur witnessed the dispersal of the River Pirates and members of the Inland River Cult on the riverbank.

As for the former, with Sean and Bonte's guidance, Arthur believed this band of River Pirates could become his Escort Fleet.

And the latter?

Under the leadership of Grindelwald, they had already done enough.

What remained?

Was to let nature take its course.

With his pet Giant Snake around, Arthur never doubted that the Inland River Cult would become one of his subordinates, and the restructured Inland River Cult would bring a qualitative change to his riverside trade.

All of these were good.

The bad?

Arthur looked indifferently at Windsor and the other three, still unsettled.

Arthur could tell that those three young gentlemen were genuinely terrified.

And that lady?

An act.

Quite a masterful performance.

With perhaps another hundred or two years of effort, she might achieve one percent of his power.

'Is the scene before me related to her?'

Arthur wondered to himself.

When Windsor and the other ten or so young Nobles appeared, Arthur had the Crow keep an eye on them.

At first, Arthur merely thought they were there to join the crowd.

But then, the subsequent events surprised him.

Not surprised by the conflicts among brothers.

This type of drama was not uncommon among the Nobles.

What truly surprised Arthur was the absence of the Protectors—knowing what he did about the Great Nobles, even for a simple outing, they would covertly have Protectors following them for the sake of their offspring's safety.

But this time there were none.

Even when people died, they did not show up.

This was against all reason!

Unless...

Boom!
