Blood Cult magic is all the same. Since it’s made of blood, there are no personal characteristics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s not true.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you saying?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then it hit him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, right. This kid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan recalled the report about Sion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first saw it, he remembered thinking, ‘What kind of nonsense report is this?’ and had skimmed over it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, a phrase that had strongly stuck in his memory came back like a picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>『A case where the user perfectly analyzed and recreated the Apostle of Blood’s magic, successfully counterattacking』\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sentence alone sounded absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the time, he had dismissed it as false or exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But seeing him speak now, could it actually be true?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan decided to observe Sion more closely. It could be considered a test, or perhaps a process of receiving help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either way, this was an extraordinary individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So. I heard you broke blood magic. Is that right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you distinguish it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blood magic ultimately comes from that apostle, Jinjo. Since Jinjo created it, his magic has subtle differences.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had known the boy was exceptional, but his first impression wasn’t this shocking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was only because Sion hadn’t done anything yet; his impression had been ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion’s true value emerged when he took initiative, fought, and thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interest in the Goddess of War’s knight blossomed like a flower bud. Lagan gestured with his chin, urging him to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In my opinion, this magic is the Blood Cult’s sorcery for reconstructing the body.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Reconstructing the body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. When he fought me, my blood got mixed into him. Even though he vomited it all out, he must have thought impurities remained.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s ridiculous.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wouldn’t lie, especially in front of the Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well, go on.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion accelerated his thinking and deduced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He must have found it too hard to endure in that body. After all, his body was already torn into thousands of pieces by the Apostle of Light and then reassembled?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s a famous story.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With an already imperfect body, adding more impurities made it worth discarding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan’s eyes turned cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That means he’s currently very weak, doesn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sion responded seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both geniuses instinctively sensed a perfect opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think so too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can we track him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes. Traces of the magic remain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that’s an amazing talent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luck was on my side.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was something that couldn’t be explained by luck—but Lagan swallowed those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan immediately went out and summoned the Holy Sword forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tracking team was quickly assembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Originally, our mission was to escort this kid to the Holy Kingdom, but I’m changing our objective with my authority.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lagan spoke with a seriousness he hadn’t shown throughout the journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, we hunt Jinjo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“……Guh.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the depths beneath a collapsed altar, within a mist of blood that rippled like red smoke, Jinjo slowly lifted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The newly attached skin itched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His legs, which had been burned up to the knees, were now covered with imperfect skin. Muscular tissue wrapped around the shattered bones, gradually regaining form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t complete yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reconstructed body writhed imperfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was constant, making sleep impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, that fact alone mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apostle of Blood quietly gazed at his own face reflected on the pool of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a demon’s, but a distorted, unnatural expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body reconstructed from blood was filled with blood vessels entangled like threads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slower the reconstruction, the more distorted the form, and his voice carried imperfect noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha, haha…… ugh…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He placed a hand on the wall to steady himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red wall of the collapsed underground hall, stained with blood, supported Jinjo’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He groaned in rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just recently, his body had been on the verge of resurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because of one human, everything was ruined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A boy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damned knight, whose name he hated to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The War Cult’s Sion…….”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he uttered that name of the one he wanted to tear apart, the pain he had forgotten returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If only I hadn’t drunk that blood… if only I hadn’t drunk his blood, I would have……!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have resurrected with a complete body by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that had happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could have stood at the forefront of the blood festival that was so close!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Puh— ack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinjo slammed his fist into the blood-splattered wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shattered hand bones cracked, and flesh sprouted from the wound again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pain and anger didn’t last long. He felt the presence of something approaching from within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lord Jinjo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a vampire lord who protected and cared for the weakened Jinjo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve come to deliver your intention to attend the apostle meeting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinjo slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, yes. Good work.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you sure you’re alright? Wouldn’t it be better for me to go in your place—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinjo chuckled darkly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You succeeded in making me laugh. If you went in my place, you wouldn’t even maintain consciousness at that gathering. I’m fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Jinjo’s words, the vampire lord’s face turned red. Then he brought up another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And one more thing. There’s something you should know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Holy Sword forces are tracking us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Holy Sword?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinjo’s pupils flashed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human army was approaching. Suddenly, he felt hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good. Hunt them and bring me their blood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vampire lord hesitated slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s a unit led by the Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The main force of the Holy Sword has come?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jinjo rose to his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His half-exposed ribs were sealed with blood again, and the dark red blood flowing down his legs disappeared as if obeying his command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why would he come here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know. The Commander of the Order of the Holy Sword’s banner was seen in the village we attacked.
