Don't be fooled by those blood spears being mere clumps of blood before they formed; once he transformed them into blood spears with his Originium Arts, their sharpness was no less than weapons crafted by artisans.
He even seemed to see Kanna being pierced by the long spears.
Unfortunately, this was just imagination.
After entering combat, Kanna's skin had long since changed from its usual soft and supple state to being incredibly hard, and a layer of fine scales had appeared on her smooth epidermis.
Though these scales were as thin as cicada wings and hard to detect, each one could easily withstand a full-force attack from a top-tier expert.
As Kanna, like a runaway dump truck, crashed straight into the Blood Demon Lord, pulverizing all the blood spears in her path without the slightest pause.
The Blood Demon Lord's expression went from initially confident to utterly shocked, and finally, to panicked and flustered.
This Blood Demon Lord, who had always presented himself with an elegant demeanor, made a very clumsy and desperate dive, narrowly dodging Kanna's 'Little Fat Dragon' charge.
Seeing Kanna stop and begin to turn, the Blood Demon Lord did not choose to retreat. Instead, he steadfastly ran towards the location of the vehicle, because from her actions, it was clear she believed the people inside the car definitely couldn't stop him, which was why she acted this way—to force him to choose another direction.
"Tsk!" Discovering that the other party continued to run towards the vehicle's location, Kanna frowned. She stopped chasing and, with a wave of her hands, two bolts of lightning appeared in her grasp. One bolt streaked from her hand like a meteor towards the Blood Demon Lord's back, while the other flew in a beautiful arc from the side, landing between the vehicle and the Blood Demon Lord.
Seeing the purple light flying towards him, the Blood Demon Lord, while running, slashed with his left hand. A stream of blood rose from his hand, forming a small shield that blocked the path of the purple light.
With a roar, this purple light was easily blocked by him.
At this moment, the Blood Demon Lord also saw the purple lightning that had streaked from not far away land in front of him.
At that moment, he felt his heart pounding rapidly. He felt that if he took another step forward, he might very well die here.
So the Blood Demon Lord pushed off the ground with his right foot and then leaped towards the nearby river.
Before leaving, he also raised his hand and conjured several blood spears, then divided them into two sets, one shooting towards Kanna and the other towards the vehicle.
Suddenly, after a burst of thunder, Kanna appeared at the spot where the purple lightning had landed.
This was Kanna's never-tiring Star Shift.
Looking at Kanna, who had suddenly appeared in front, the Blood Demon Lord felt a surge of fear in his heart. If he had tried to force his way through just now, he would have likely come face to face with her.
This terrifying little girl could be said to be his natural bane.
Under that lightning, his Originium Arts didn't even have a chance to penetrate her defenses, and without blood replenishment, his combat power was not at its peak.
At this point, he had more or less guessed that this little girl should be the mysterious strong individual mentioned in the intelligence.
After being attacked like this, he no longer had the heart to chase Patriot. At this moment, he only wanted to retreat to the castle and properly replenish his missing blood.
Kanna, landing, had lightning spreading from her body, turning the last few flying blood spears into dust.
However, due to the close distance and the extreme speed of the blood spears, she was powerless to stop the first few.
Just as the blood spears were about to hit the vehicle, square-shaped emblems appeared on the surface of the vehicle closest to the battlefield.
When the sharp blood spears struck the vehicle, they did not pierce it as the Blood Demon Lord had imagined. Instead, they were blocked. Although the car door looked somewhat damaged, the blood spears did not penetrate into the vehicle.
Observing from the riverside, he found that his normally infallible attacks had been blocked multiple times today, causing him to feel somewhat dazed. Had he stayed in the castle for too long? How could everyone he met today block his Originium Arts?
Discovering that the blood spears were blocked, Kanna rushed to the vehicle in a single stride. As lightning crackled from her hands, the blood spears embedded in the car door also turned to dust.
After realizing his attack had completely failed, the Blood Demon Lord decisively jumped into the river, then quickly disappeared from Kanna's sight with the current.
Just now, Kanna had indeed been anxious when she saw the blood spears. But upon seeing the emblems appear on the vehicle, her mood lightened considerably.
Among those on Rhodes Island capable of directly withstanding the Blood Demon Lord's attacks while also protecting teammates, the person in this car certainly held a significant position.
"Calcification... Whether in-game or in reality, Saria truly is the woman on Rhodes Island who brings the most peace of mind."
Opening the door, she saw Saria, pale-faced, holding up her hands to block the entrance.
Although she successfully blocked the Blood Demon Lord's attack, Saria appeared to have paid a considerable price.
"Let's go! That guy has left, so we should hurry up too." Jumping onto the roof, Kanna tapped the driver's side window, waking up the driver who was still in shock from what had just happened.
"Who was that person just now?" More than ten minutes later, Saria finally recovered. Looking at the desolate scenery outside, the memory of that moment made her feel tense all over.
Although she also urgently cast her Originium Arts after realizing something was wrong, the opponent's attack was clearly aimed at Kanna. She herself received fewer attacks, and some were even blocked by Kanna, yet her Calcification was almost pierced. One could imagine how terrifying the power of those few spears just now was.
What surprised her even more was that the opponent could actually exchange blows with Kanna. Although he was being suppressed, he still managed to escape. To encounter such a terrifying opponent in Kazdel, she was naturally curious.
"One of the Sarkaz Ten Royal Courts, the leader of the Blood Demon clan, the current Blood Demon Lord. Don't let his disheveled appearance fool you; he is arguably the warrior most skilled at fighting one against a hundred. According to the information I've seen, the Blood Demon Lord has the power to annihilate an entire regular army corps in one night. If we're just talking about raw strength, he's much stronger than Reunion Movement."
Upon hearing Kanna's introduction, hissing sounds involuntarily emerged from inside the car, making it seem like a Feline party was happening inside.
To annihilate an army corps by oneself was already fantastical enough, let alone doing it in just one night.
Even if everyone simply offered their necks to be cut, it would be impossible for one person to wipe out an army corps in a single night. This made them feel even more fear towards the seemingly handsome and noble young man they had just seen outside.
"Then, will his departure be detrimental to Rhodes Island?" an Operator who had recently joined Rhodes Island asked.
