Chapter 582: Saint Knight Hybrid

Bang!

The hand cannon roared, the last knight was blasted off his horse, the iron armor of the old era completely unable to withstand future technology, his chest a bloody mess, the knight struggling to pull a vial of medicine from his waist pouch.

Trembling, he brought it to his lips, but only saw a black radiance light up.

Pfft!

The knight froze, and the next moment, his entire field of vision tilted instantly, fresh blood shooting into the sky.

He, along with his armor, was sliced open by a single hand-blade strike from Bai Cangshu.

Bai Cangshu did not even look at the dead white-armored knight; the flesh of ordinary humans was, to him now, far too fragile.

【You have obtained the item: Blood Medicine】

【Blood Medicine (Purity: Low)】

【Quality: Common】

【Description: A blood product containing a trace of Ancient God aura, capable of providing excessive vitality】

【Effect 1: After use, wounds will be significantly healed】

【Effect 2: After use, you will suffer the pollution of the Ancient God; accumulation of pollution will trigger beast-transformation】

Bai Cangshu shook this thing; on the other side, the professor put away his weapon, and what met his eyes were mostly just mangled corpses.

Artoria's killing efficiency was extremely high; dealing with ordinary humans of this level was completely like chopping melons and vegetables.

"The Healing Church should be using this thing to bewitch the masses—no, that shouldn't be considered bewitching..."

"According to the revelation I received, in an earlier era, humans indeed relied on blood therapy to gain the power to defeat the Dragon Race; this is the origin of the Healing Church in this world..."

In the revelation the professor received, the rule of the Dragon Race in this world did not end with the rebellion of the White King, but rather, in the ancient era, humans came into contact with... Ancient Gods!

【Ancient Gods (the old ones)】, their origins are unknown, only that the predecessor of the Healing Church, a group of human sages, received teachings from the Alps.

And they obtained the power of blood therapy; from then on, humans were no longer just food for the Dragon Race, humans could use that power to heal themselves, and at a certain stage, transform into a 【Beast (beast)】.

And afterwards, another force attacked Black Dragon Nidhogg, and the era of the Dragon Race began to end.

The information obtained by the 【Tarot: The High Priestess】 sequence is all conveyed through fragmented images or the whispers and ravings of certain high-level existences.

Therefore, this kind of information is highly dependent on the Reincarnator's interpretation, requiring the Reincarnator of this sequence to be very knowledgeable about various worldviews.

The professor is clearly very skilled in this regard.

He cleared up the truth of the distortion and chaos of this world in almost an instant—hidden beneath the two colliding and twisting world lines of 【Dragon Race】 and 【Bloodborne】 was a third world line.

Those hidden Outer Gods truly ended the era of the Dragon King.

Bai Cangshu listened to the professor's explanation, his figure already having arrived in front of that completely distorted beast.

The opponent's two arms had completely mutated into the appearance of giant scythes, the flesh and blood twisted and hardened, the head also becoming flat, and the eyes having moved completely to the sides.

It kept shaking its head, roaring in its mouth a language no one could understand.

Step, step, step...

Bai Cangshu held the Blood Medicine in one hand and walked straight toward this farmer who, in his mind-reading, called himself 【Dengken】.

"Dengken..."

Hum!

Dengken, who had transformed into a beast, seemed stimulated by this name, let out another sharp roar, and swung his hands, which had turned into scythes, at Bai Cangshu in a slash.

The blood-red scythe tore through the air, only to fall into a slender palm.

Pfft~ Crack.

Bai Cangshu easily pinched the opponent's mutated arm with one hand, then snapped it; accompanied by a crack, the bone shattered.

He took a step forward, his wrist pressing down lightly, and the beast, whose body exceeded two meters after mutation, knelt on the ground with a thud, its form completely suppressed.

Bai Cangshu pried open Dengken's narrow, long mouth and poured the Blood Medicine inside.

"Roar... uh... woo"

The strange roaring and whimpering sounds traveled very far, as if Dengken's Soul were struggling in pain.

Bai Cangshu could feel that the degree of the opponent's beast-transformation was deepening, the flesh and blood beginning to proliferate in an even more distorted form.

This method of proliferation, devoid of any pattern or aesthetic, was completely different from the evolution of humans or other creatures.
