Chapter 538: Chapter 79 Blood Eater_1

"In general, I would like a job with a stronger presence,"

Si Anke summarized, "If possible, I would also retain trap abilities... at least the ability to manufacture traps. This has a higher priority than combat power."

After all, Si Anke made his living entirely off this.

His older sister’s job after advancing was said to be quite costly...

"Azure Holy Guards" can use gems like Decree Wizards do. However, they don’t use gems as materials for casting spells, but instead use different shades of blue sapphires as storage devices for single-use special abilities.

For instance, resisting toxins, ultra-fast regeneration, floating shields that orbit their body, instantaneous directional silence abilities, or amplifying the damage of the next attack. Every time an Azure Holy Guard advances a level, they can learn a new way to create these magic-storing gems.

But they must conduct a ceremony a day in advance to process the gems.

- Living like a Rin Tohsaka.

The average Gemstone Island guard knight, at best, could only count as a caravan security guard - even with professional abilities like Parrying Arrows and parrying weapons, wielding a stick was inevitably less reassuring and useful than wielding a shield.

At least if the other party suddenly pulled out a gun, facing a "Sir, the times have changed" ranged strike, the Gemstone Island guard knights had no resistance at all.

Try parrying that for me huh.jpg

But the Azure Holy Guards were different.

The very first Azure Holy Guards were the Guardians of the Azure Diamond Tower.

Under the targeted development by those Decree Wizards, nearly all the shortcomings of this job were compensated with these "gem skills."

High resistance, high defense, capable of deflecting unblockable rays and bullets, self-healing, and also able to enhance their own attacking power to the average level of a same-tier Transcendent.

And those Decree Wizards didn’t force "Azure Holy Guards must guard the Azure Diamond Tower," they made the advancement ceremony public... which was the previously mentioned gem-shattering ceremony.

They adopted another method of control:

The gems required for the "magical abilities" of the Azure Holy Guards could only be ones produced by Gemstone Island.

And if one chose to serve... or rather guard the Azure Diamond Tower, not only would they receive some gems as a salary each month, but they would also receive some "magic spells in gem form that they couldn’t produce on their own" each month. That is, the "exclusive spells" that those Decree Wizards had infused into the gems.

- This isn’t just a membership system then?

When Lin Yiyi explained this to him, Si Anke blurted out.

Hence, the Azure Diamond Tower didn’t actively recruit any Azure Holy Guards, but those who successfully advanced ultimately almost all returned to the Azure Diamond Tower.

Although most of them initially planned to work for five or six years, save up enough gems, and then leave Gemstone Island, by that time, they would become reluctant to give up the "membership-only spells" gems gifted each month.

Thinking "It seems like there’s nothing for me to do if I leave now," they hesitated and stayed on.

Let’s see what spells they give out next month.jpg

Though Lin Yiyi didn’t lack money or gems at the moment, just by looking at her way of fighting... Si Anke felt it was wise to save some money in advance.

To achieve this goal, he mustn’t lose his skill in making traps.

"More aggressive than a Berserker... as well as a trap master capable of frontal combat,"

Naifertali pondered for a moment and slowly nodded, "I think I have an idea now. Excuse me for a moment."

She stood up and walked to her own study.

The situation was urgent, so she just tidied the living room a bit.

Both bedrooms and her study were a mess. Only Niusel’s collection room was somewhat tidy.

That wasn’t because Niusel was cleaner than Naifertali, but because Niusel usually didn’t enter there...

When cohabitating with the opposite gender, one is not so particular about their personal image—this could perhaps be considered as evidence of their close relationship as childhood friends.

She pulled out several books from the overlapping bookshelves that rippled with deep blue waves.

These books didn’t need to be unlocked, as the knowledge recorded within wasn’t so dangerous.

"For Berserkers... they can worship the Goddess of Cup."

Naifertali spread the books in front of Jiu’er, gently leaving a mark on the page with her fingernail, pointing out the specific location of the content.

"Goddess of Cup?"

Jiu’er asked curiously, "Is it a Knight of the Holy Grail?"

She had heard of the Knight of the Holy Grail class change before.

The Exquisite Wind Goose had once been prophesied by the Paper Princess that he might become a Knight of the Holy Grail in the future. At that time, the players had already learned about this class change... and indeed, there were people who wanted to switch to this profession.

Through the professional traits of the Knight of the Holy Grail, players could rely on other players to stack up a large number of base attribute points.

While attribute points are not the only determinant of combat strength, having a bit more is definitely a benefit and not a disadvantage.

Although this bucket profession is certainly not weak, it clearly does not meet Jiu’er’s special requirements.

"The Goddess of Cup is the deity of blood and desire. In addition to symbolizing ’desire’ with the Holy Grail, She is also the god of blood. That is to say, She also controls the ’blood within the cup’.

"The blood within the cup is the blood of snakes, trees, stones, and pleasing others. It is Unending Blood, also known as Rustless Blood."

Naifertali gave a detailed introduction to Jiu’er, "If a Berserker worships the Goddess of Cup, he can sacrifice his own blood in a gold cup and offer it for nine days, changing it into Rustless Blood.

"Drinking Rustless Blood and then advancing allows one to become the special profession ’Blood Eater’.

"Blood Eaters possess a uniform Curse Binding ’Supreme True Blood.’ They need to offer their fresh blood once a month, replacing it with Rustless Blood. That is the blood overflowing from the Holy Grail in the arms of the Goddess of Cup."

"Regularly taking Rustless Blood allows one to gain strong physique with no cost, directly. Senior Blood Eaters are so powerful that their bodies themselves are like mutated monsters... After they die, their flesh and blood still move and heal unceasingly. ’Unceasing Skin’ itself is an excellent cursed material and can be used to make drum-like cursed items.

"At the same time, Blood Eaters are immune to all forms of disease and poison. They will no longer age easily, their appearance will not change again, there is no need to eat extra food, and any injuries to their body will heal quickly. Even after taking Rustless Blood, they can go a month without needing to eat other food—and during the time Berserkers sacrifice their flesh and blood, they can burst forth with a fearsome power several times greater than usual.

"This is because, after their physique has greatly strengthened, the power they can withstand during Berserk increases as well.

"However, at the same time... if one does not take Rustless Blood on time to sustain one’s life, the muscles will start to atrophy gradually, quickly become aged, and complications such as fever, subcutaneous bleeding, anemia, and internal organ infections will appear. If not taken care of promptly, it could be life-threatening.

"Nevertheless, as long as Rustless Blood is taken regularly and on schedule, there are no special problems. Moreover, even if one is not a Blood Eater, Rustless Blood can be used to transfuse blood for anyone and greatly accelerate the recovery speed... as long as one does not enter a nightmare within a day after the transfusion, they will not become a Blood Eater.

"So, the ritual with Rustless Blood will not stop, and the side effects of this Curse Binding simply cannot be triggered. If you are worried about not being able to use it, you can also sell the Rustless Blood you produce to me."

Naifertali’s tone was so calm it was as if she was saying, "If you have an excess of breast milk, why not sell it to me?".
