Chapter 153: Destiny's Revolver!

~8 min read 1,514 words

One sheep, two sheep, three sheep…

Using nightmarish fire‑oil grenades as light sources, the more than thirty wall lamps illuminate the huge fortified chamber—or rather the "blood clan factory"—in bright clarity.

According to Ta Ke's count.

The many blood clan sheep below are shivering.

These blood clan members range from experienced 35th‑level elders down to freshly fledged 12th‑level novices.

All of them have been turned into sheep by the evil human wizard before them.

All along, in the blood clan's fairy tales, human wizards are portrayed as embodiments of evil, shamelessness, greed, and ugliness.

In the end they are defeated by the brave blood clan, who then convert them into their own blood servants.

The blood clan is always the ultimate winner.

While humanity suffers total defeat.

That blood clan sheep immediately says.

Then the booming gunfire blows its skull apart.

Fresh blood gushes down, spilling into the groove of the magic circle below.

Ta Ke could easily treat this as a long‑term safe haven, hunting and slaughtering blood clan here.

Massive attacks by vampiric bats and blood clan assaults often blend together.

【Execution】 this extraordinary trait is formed by the convergence and transformation of many other extraordinary traits such as killing, fear, and despair.

Ta Ke continuously executes one blood clan after another.

Now Ta Ke just wants to make a big move in this underground world.

He hears a 34th‑level blood clan sheep in the flock below screaming wildly, constantly shouting at him.

Killing blood clan, whether driven by deep hatred, a cold demeanor, or a mad, twisted pleasure, is enjoyed.

Calm, indifferent, detached, even somewhat unconcerned.

Just as the combination of "Strength", "Constitution", and "Speed" creates the prototype knight.

While strengthening its own "Execution" extraordinary trait, it also gradually builds the foundation for a fifth‑tier promotion.

"Pong…"

Outside, whether battles erupt or bloodstains spill.

When the count finishes, Ta Ke's eyes narrow slightly and he nods.

"A total of 35 sheep."

Maximize resource utilization!

Accompanied by the booming gunfire and its conclusion.

But with more executions, the "Execution" extraordinary trait emerges.

Because the blood clan has always done this to humans.

They possess deep knowledge and understanding of puppet threads.

This human intends to use the blood clan's fresh blood to build a blood‑pool ecosystem and condense blood crystals!

Almost every blood clan member sees what this human aims to do.

That changes everything.

Before being discovered here, Ta Ke could treat this as his own safe base in the underground world.

As a fourth‑tier extraordinary steam weapon, the 【Execution】 trait is quite interesting.

Besides studying puppet threads, grasping rune secrets is also Ta Ke's daily mandatory lesson.

At the center of the magic‑circle groove lies a modest blood pool.

Even Ta Ke dares not casually fight within blood clan territory.

Moreover, he can continuously use the swarm of bats to gather enough 【Flight】 trait.

Rising, Ta Ke prepares to rest at the table for a while, while also researching puppet threads.

Furthermore, Ta Ke can use this outpost as a springboard to build more such safe bases around or deeper within.

It will inevitably be sensed by vampiric bats, causing massive unrest.

Ta Ke raises an eyebrow slightly.

But!

None!

At the same time, Ta Ke also believes that as this fellow follows him, sooner or later its appetite will grow astonishingly.

Moreover, in larger battles, it's easy to encounter high‑level blood clan and werewolves.

If he only had a ringed staff, Ta Ke might not have ventured this deep or played on such a scale.

Having just stepped onto the stone platform, Ta Ke sits cross‑legged.

As his words finish, Ta Ke has already disabled that blood clan sheep's speech function.

"No need to worry; we're all dead anyway, might as well be a bit happier."

Carving out a small personal territory within the blood clan ecosystem is already exceedingly difficult.

"I like courteous fellows."

"Pong…"

It passes naturally, like casually cracking sunflower seeds.

But with that profound rune secret.

Somewhat… realistic.

This is another major advantage for Ta Ke in establishing this fortified safe outpost.

All the blood race·sheep held their breath.

Soon the information would be transmitted to those nearby wandering blood race members.

"Pfft."

After Taku had researched it thoroughly and found suitable materials.

With a base, there would be endurance, recovery, and the foundation for sustainable development.

"Click click click..."

But!

After Taku used his own methods to build a concealed underground base here.

This damned devil, even if we die, we will curse you.

Taku's words made all these blood race·sheep curse furiously in their hearts.

One shot after another.

Then, Taku took out the steam extraordinary revolver and gently flicked the cylinder.

Only then did Taku stop the executions.

And at this time, among the many blood race·sheep crowded together, some of the lower-level blood race members were already nearly paralyzed with fright.

"Feel with your heart the final — time of fear!"

Taku held it before his eyes and carefully observed it.

A moment of inattention, and one would be ambushed by the blood race.

But with further research, it was not necessarily impossible for Taku to condense "world puppet threads" that resonated with the world's veins.

After patrolling a circle around the blood pool magic array, confirming that the blood pool ecology was operating normally and that small blood pool saplings would soon grow, Taku nodded with satisfaction.

After this Tier 2 blood race member condensed Tier 2 blood race extraordinary characteristics.

But today, the story seemed somewhat different.

The human wizard before them had no emotions whatsoever.

Blood entered the blood pool magic array, and the activated blood would devour their bodies, draining their last drop of value.

Unfortunately, apart from a chorus of bleats, they could not produce any language.

When the execution of the seventh blood race member was completed.

Killing one blood race member after another — in that wizard's view, what he killed was not life.

In his thoughts, Taku shook the 【Execution】 in his hand toward the many blood race·sheep in the distance who were in a state of terror, and said in a measured tone.

Even human extraordinary beings would find it very difficult to penetrate this deep.

Finding Bagins to help forge it, and by then Taku would be fully able to produce and control a large number of puppet threads himself.

This fellow was like a devil — no, even more of a devil than a devil!

And at this time, the devil "Taku" in the eyes of the blood race·sheep was carefully feeling the Tier 4 extraordinary steam revolver 【Execution】.

It was even somewhat... cruel.

If there were many "spectators" during the execution, the effect would be especially good.

A Tier 2 blood race member that had just recovered the outline of a human body.

This revolver had only just begun to absorb execution characteristics, and having only killed seven blood race members, it was already somewhat saturated.

After all, Taku had ample time to carry out the executions slowly.

The 【Execution】 in Taku's hands could acquire a certain amount of "execution characteristics" by executing enemies.

"The extraordinary characteristics are barely passable, but unfortunately it doesn't even have a baron title."

Taku's base was undeniably a — blood race slaughterhouse!

"Pfft..."

During this period, Taku had consulted many books on the Puppeteer sequence.

Scavenging the resources on their bodies, then using 【Execution】 to execute them.

Looking at the bleating level-34 blood race·sheep, Taku said slowly.

Taku was already able to use Tier 5 puppet thread crystals to slowly weave puppet threads.

After that, Taku kicked the blood race corpse down into the magic array below.

Taku sensed that his extraordinary steam revolver 【Execution】 was full.

"Respected Lord Human Wizard, I have very important information I wish to report to you, and I beg you to spare my life."

Although he could continue the slaughter, it would cause a certain waste.

Even those high-level blood race members were deeply shocked by the methods of this bloody, terrifying, and cruel human evil wizard before them.

Or like how 【Knight】 and 【Steam Core】 constructed the 【Steam Knight】 of the current steam wave era version.

There was originally no such extraordinary characteristic as "execution" in the world.

One must know that the blood race ecology of this underground world had already formed.

Now, Taku increasingly felt the power of rune profound mysteries.

"If you do not have very important information, I will understand your behavior as actively choosing the first position for the next round of blood race executions."

Therefore, fighting outside was extremely dangerous.

Now Taku could only methodically craft puppet threads from the Tier 5 puppet thread itself.

"It's time... to slaughter."

Soon, the blood that had been activated by the "blood pool magic array" turned into viscous tentacles that devoured and absorbed the blood race bodies.

The clicking sound of the cylinder turning was like the spinning of a wheel of fate.

"The importance of the information you present will determine your chips in the game against fate."

"Please start your performance!"
