Han Shuo understood that this was caused by him being too greedy. However, until now, there was no good solution.
Han Shuo's mind was one with the Demonslayer Edge. The chaotic negative energy within the Demonslayer Edge was running amok, gradually affecting Han Shuo's calm state of mind. Unwittingly, a thought of slaughter suddenly leaped into Han Shuo's mind. It was like a catalyst for poison. Once this thought appeared, Han Shuo's heartbeat started to accelerate.
Not good! Han Shuo was greatly alarmed.
This kind of emotion had not appeared for a long time. Han Shuo understood that this was a sign of turning into a demon. However, the hateful Demonslayer Edge was still frantically absorbing all the negative energy in Ossen City, while Han Shuo's body was engulfing the soaring baleful aura with the vortex as the center. These two kinds of energy required Han Shuo to control. A mistake in one would immediately have a direct impact on the other.
Gradually, Han Shuo's pupils started to turn red. Specks of bloody light lingered around his body. A violent and evil energy started to spread from Han Shuo's body. Within the castle, Sabakas and sacred swordmaster Karel immediately sensed the changes in Han Shuo.
"What's going on?" Karel's expression changed as he looked towards the roof where Han Shuo was.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
Just as Karel's words fell, a crackling sound could be heard from the roof in the direction Karel was looking at. Streaks of scarlet radiance shot out, shattering the rubble of the house in that area.
Sabakas stared blankly for two seconds before immediately teleporting to the area where Han Shuo was sitting cross-legged. Suddenly, he saw Han Shuo's malevolent and distorted face, appearing extremely terrifying. Within the enormous vortex above his head, strands of energy formed streaks of bloody light that flowed into Han Shuo's body like electric currents.
A terrifying evil and ruthless energy suddenly erupted from Han Shuo's body. With Han Shuo as the center, the surrounding buildings collapsed one after another. Some of the soldiers in the castle were caught off guard and were immediately affected by this energy, causing nearly a hundred deaths in an instant.
Space sacred magus Sabakas' expression immediately changed. Without saying anything, he hastily released a defensive boundary. Furthermore, he condensed his mental strength and shouted in Han Shuo's direction, "Brian!"
Han Shuo, who was about to fall into a demonic state, had his pupils turn into a terrifying scarlet red. it was as though blood was flowing within his pupils, appearing extremely terrifying.
The shout condensed from Sabakas' mental strength was like a sharp needle that pierced into Han Shuo's mind. Han Shuo only felt a pain in his head and his mind sobered up for a short period of time.
Han Shuo's eyes spun for a moment before he suddenly raised his head and roared towards the sky. An enormous baleful aura soared into the sky amidst the roar. While Sabakas was indescribably shocked, Han Shuo suddenly flew into the sky from the castle like a bolt of lightning, suddenly disappearing into the blood clouds in the sky.
The dreadful roar resounded throughout the entire northern city district. It was as though a heavenly thunder had exploded. Many experts sensed the dreadful energy contained in the roar. Each and every one of them gazed at the area where Han Shuo had left. For a moment, they didn't know what had happened.
"What's going on?" Sacred swordmaster Karel was a step late and only saw a strand of red light soar into the sky. He hastily asked the startled Sabakas.
"I don't know, I also don't know!" Sabakas reacted and immediately shook his head as he answered in panic. He looked at the blood clouds that were gathering in the sky and said, "However, I have a bad feeling. Brian just now was somewhat frightening. The strength on his body is extremely powerful, so powerful that it made my heart palpitate."
Karel was shocked. He understood Sabakas' true strength. Upon hearing Sabakas say that the strength that Han Shuo suddenly displayed just now made him feel fearful, Karel said solemnly, "I sensed a baleful aura and evil that soared into the sky from Brian's roar. I feel that something is wrong with him."
"I'm also worried about this. His eyes just now didn't have any emotions and made me feel very unfamiliar. This is completely different from the him we usually see. I'm sure that something that we can't understand must have happened to him." Sabakas also had a heavy heart as he spoke to Karel.
Suddenly, Karel cried out in alarm, "Look, the blood clouds in the sky are moving. Eh, the direction is actually where Ashburn is!"
"Gentlemen, what's going on? What happened here?" Firenze came over and asked with a calm expression.
Along with Firenze were Amyes, Emily, and the rest. They had all heard the terrifying roar and were filled with doubts and puzzlement. They immediately came over to see what was going on.
Fanny and Phoebe who were originally on the second floor also immediately stopped talking and rushed over in panic. They didn't know why Han Shuo had let out such a terrifying roar and their hearts were filled with worry and panic.
Sabakas didn't answer Firenze's question and instead looked up at the sky with a frown.
The blood clouds that had been quietly floating in the sky above the castle and continuously absorbing all kinds of negative energy in the northern city district didn't move even though they were getting bigger.
But now, the thick blood clouds had started to move!
The movement of the blood clouds caused the weather to change. An oppressive pressure as heavy as a mountain pressed down. An incomparably sinister aura gradually left the sky above the castle and moved towards Ashburn and the rest.
"Emily, do you know what's going on?" Amyes frowned deeply and asked Emily in confusion.
Among the crowd, Emily was the most familiar with Han Shuo. When Amyes asked, everyone's gazes were cast towards Emily, each and every one of them were filled with curiosity and doubt.
"This should be the 'bedevilment' that Brian mentioned. He said that this state would make him crazy and even he himself wouldn't be able to control his actions. It is an extremely dangerous state that will allow his strength to increase explosively. I don't know much about it and have only heard of it from him." Emily also frowned deeply and immediately explained.
After Emily's explanation, everyone immediately agreed with Emily's explanation when they saw the dozen or so collapsed houses and some of the castle's soldiers that had died tragically. Even Sabakas and Karel didn't dare to forcibly charge towards Ashburn's direction at this moment. However, Han Shuo had actually condensed a thick blood cloud and rushed over. This kind of crazy behavior was clearly not something that he would dare to do under normal circumstances.
"Not good. This means that Brian is extremely dangerous. But that place is filled with experts and he has now lost his rationality. What should we do?" Karel said worriedly.
"Sigh, we can only take one step at a time. We have to pay attention to his movements at all times. If something really goes wrong, we can think of a way to save him!" Sabakas sighed and said somewhat helplessly.
While Sabakas was speaking, a blue crystal ball the size of a human head appeared in his hand. Sabakas chanted a magic incantation and the crystal ball suddenly refracted a gorgeous blue radiance. These blue radiances were like ripples on the surface of a lake when a pebble was thrown into it. They kept swaying non-stop.
As Sabakas continued to chant the incantation, the swaying blue radiance in the crystal ball gradually calmed down. When Sabakas had finished chanting, a clear scene suddenly appeared in the crystal ball.
Within the crystal ball, Han Shuo's entire body was circulating with blood and electricity. His eyes were scarlet like blood. The Demonslayer Edge was floating above Han Shuo's head. Layers of blood clouds were churning around him, rolling towards Ashburn's direction with him.
Sabakas' five fingers that were dragging the crystal ball moved a little. The scene within the crystal ball continuously enlarged and changed, revealing the appearances of Ashburn, eldest prince Charles and the rest. Among them, the sacred knight and earth sacred magus Dempus had shocked expressions as they looked at the dense blood clouds that were gradually rolling towards them.
"This crystal ball was given to me by Madam Grace. Although it cannot predict the future, it can see the scene within a certain range. However, it cannot hear anything." Sabakas explained.
"Hmph, you obviously have a good item but you keep hiding it and not using it. What a selfish fellow." Firenze said unhappily.
Sabakas coughed dryly and explained with a bitter smile, "Using this crystal ball consumes a lot of mental strength and the range of vision is also very limited. It also cannot hear anything. It can't be compared to Brian's miraculous ability. That's why I kept it a secret, not because I was selfish."
"Alright, alright. Let's see if something will happen to Brian." Karel impatiently said to Firenze as he concentrated on the changes in the scene within the crystal ball in Sabakas' hand.
While Sabakas and the rest were staring at the changes in the crystal ball with sparkling eyes, some of the weaker nobles on Ashburn's side were suffering unspeakably. They were almost unable to breathe due to the heavy pressure from the blood clouds.
"Damn it, what's going on? Why is there a red cloud floating over all of a sudden?! " Eldest prince Charles also felt his heartbeat quicken, as though there was a mountain pressing down on his body. His whole body was indescribably uncomfortable and he couldn't help but curse as he looked above his head.
"Saints, do you know what's going on?" Although Ashburn was a grand duke of the Lancelot Empire, he didn't cultivate in martial arts or magic. He could clearly feel this kind of pressure and actually had the impulse to kill crazily in his heart. For Ashburn who needed to calmly deal with all situations, this kind of impulse was undoubtedly fatal. Therefore, he hastily questioned the sacred knight and Dempus.
The two Saint level experts stared at the blood cloud in the sky with solemn expressions. They could clearly sense that more and more energy was gathering in the blood cloud. This negative energy that had absorbed the unyielding anger and fear of the tens of thousands of people who had died on the battlefield was so powerful that it was beyond imagination. The two Saint level experts felt their hearts palpitate.
"It's that guy called Brian's doing. I can feel that he's within the blood clouds!" Sacred knight Blount said with a sullen expression as he raised his head to look at the sky.
"It's him? Isn't this brat courting death? He actually dares to come here and throw away his life! "Eldest prince Charles sneered.
There were two sacred rank experts here, as well as many great swordsmen and grand magus level experts. In addition, there were also several thousand soldiers standing guard. Charles naturally believed that Han Shuo's arrival would only result in death.
However, sacred knight Blount and Dempus could faintly sense the terrifying energy contained within the blood clouds. However, morale was of the utmost importance at this time. If Blount and Dempus were to tell the truth, it might cause fear to arise in the hearts of the soldiers here.
Blount and Dempus glanced at each other. Dempus suddenly started chanting a magic incantation, setting up a barrier around Ashburn's location. This was to prevent them from being affected by the energy within the blood clouds and developing fear in their hearts before the battle had even started.
"Wind mages, use the whirlwinds and tornadoes to sweep away the blood clouds." Sacred knight Blount instructed some of the mages beside him, making them immediately take action.
The blood clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker. Blount could clearly sense that the energy came from the negative energy condensed by the blood clouds. Although Dempus was an earth sacred magus, he was somewhat helpless against the blood clouds in the sky. Only a few wind mages were able to display the full extent of their power.
Under sacred knight Blount's instructions, the wind mages on Ashburn's side started chanting incantations one by one. The wind element suddenly became dense, and tornadoes of various sizes slowly took shape, directly sweeping towards the blood clouds that were enveloping them.
However, some things were always miraculous beyond one's expectations. The layers of thick blood clouds didn't scatter even under the fierce blows of the wind magic. They still followed the predetermined trajectory, enveloping the heads of Ashburn's group.
Just as the wind mages were indescribably astonished, a sharp-eyed mage suddenly pointed at the blood clouds and cried out in alarm, "Look! There's a person in the middle! "
As the mage's cry rang out, the sharp-eyed mages all noticed the center of the blood clouds. They saw an imposing figure covered in blood-red radiance interweaving like lightning, as though it was able to control the power of the blood clouds. It suddenly roared crazily as it pressed downwards like the blood clouds.
Suddenly, an evil energy as frightening as a mountain shrouded the entire area. A weapon with overflowing ferocious might wrapped around the thick blood clouds, like a meteor trailing behind a blood-red radiance, abruptly chopped downwards. The friction between the rapidly descending weapon and the air produced a terrifying whistle.
For a moment, the entire sky was filled with red light. Blount and Dempus, who were below, paled in fright.
"Quickly retreat!" Dempus shrieked, grabbing Ashburn and eldest prince Charles with his left and right hands, immediately using levitation magic to rapidly retreat into the distance.
