Elrond stared at the remaining blood on his right hand with a greedy and excited look in his eyes. He let out a roar, then stuffed the blood into his mouth and sucked on it carefully.
But in the next second, his expression changed drastically and he started vomiting. The liquid he vomited was the colour of soy sauce. When it landed on the ground, it sizzled and corroded large areas of the ground.
Sheyan's blood contained a large amount of A-virus. Although the 'Pestilence Monarch' was not powerful enough to infect the enemy, the enemy would still inevitably suffer from stomach ulcers or stomach perforation if they drank it.
Seizing this opportunity, Sheyan swiftly shifted his footsteps and blocked in front of Melody. Because Reef was still recovering, delaying for time was much more advantageous to them. Sheyan didn't launch an attack.
Melody stared at Sheyan's strong figure in a daze. Her eyes were once again brimming with tears.
"I knew you would come. My protector, no matter when, as long as I'm in danger, you will immediately appear before me!"
At this moment, Elrond, who had finished vomiting, opened his arms wide and pounced towards Sheyan like a demon from hell.
When Sheyan saw that Elrond had completely given up on his expertise in the field of magic and instead came to fight him in close quarters, he felt very strange. Why would Reef, a guy who fought purely based on his bestial instincts, suddenly lose all confidence in fighting and tell him not to come over?
To be honest, Elrond's current fighting style did not pose much of a threat to Sheyan. His attacks were also random. With Sheyan's rich combat experience, it was not too difficult for him to parry with weapons. With his current terrifying HP of more than 3,000, Elrond would not be able to finish him off in a short period of time.
Moreover, under Sheyan's deliberate stalling, Reef soon recovered from his near-death state. When Sheyan signalled that he could still hold on, Reef began to eat slowly to recover his HP. Reef took a deep breath and sighed.
"Boss, you shouldn't have come."
Sheyan raised his eyebrows and said.
"Why? This guy is very ordinary. Even if I hadn't become a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter, it wouldn't be difficult for the two of us to kill him."
The muscles on Reef's face twitched as he said with grief and indignation.
"That's what I thought at first, but.... when Elrond's HP fell to a certain level, the true terror of Elrond descended."
The surviving Elven mage said in a trembling voice.
"Yes, in order to survive, that evil Elrond must have used a splitting technique on himself."
"A splitting technique? What's that? " When Sheyan heard their words, he began concentrating on dodging and blocking, not retaliating at all. Simultaneously, he asked curiously.
The Elven mage suddenly said angrily.
"As you know, Elrond is a mixed-blood (in Elven scolding, it's similar to a bastard). When he realized that there was no hope for him to enter the Undying Lands, he used a splitting technique to forcefully split his Elven and Human bloodlines into two. The Elven Elrond inherited the terrible injury bestowed upon him by the Witch-King of Angmar, as well as the magic power that Elrond had cultivated for thousands of years. At the critical moment, he brazenly self-detonated. The destructive force was incomparably terrifying, heavily injuring three Ringwraiths and killing five followers of the High God."
Sheyan was overjoyed when he heard this. The Stockholm Party had already lost a few members to him, and now Elrond had used a suicidal move. It was inevitable that they would be greatly weakened. Considering the time they would return, there was no doubt that they wouldn't have the time to find trouble with Sheyan.
Sheyan casually blocked the beastly Elrond in front of him and said.
"Oh, and then? In other words, the one in front of us is a pure human Elrond? "
The Elven mage replied.
"Yes, but this Elrond is in an extremely deformed state. Because he was originally a mixed-blood, his body naturally maintained the balance between the Elven and Human bloodlines. When the Elven bloodline died out, his half-Elven body could no longer be a pure human. He was completely relying on the powerful divine art of splitting to survive for a short period of time, let alone for a long period of time. Therefore, he is in a crazy and strange state. If Elrond wants to continue living, he must re-inject the other half of the Elven bloodline into his body!"
Sheyan vaguely understood the truth of the matter at this point. Unable to dodge, he viciously slashed at Elrond's chest, splitting him apart.
"So this guy chased after you and devoured your flesh!?"
"Yes." The Elven mage revealed a pained and crazed expression.
"His ultimate goal is Lady Melody. Only after obtaining the flesh and blood of the Twilight Elves would he be able to balance the reconstructed Elven bloodline with his human bloodline. However, before he devours all of us, he won't touch Lady Melody. This is because to reconstruct Lady Melody's flesh and blood is definitely not an easy task. He must first absorb as much flesh and blood of the other Elves as possible to pave the way for his success rate to increase."
"Understood." Sheyan kicked away Elrond, who was pouncing towards him, and asked, "But this trash doesn't seem that strong. Why did you suffer such heavy losses?"
At this moment, Reef replied.
"Because Elrond's body is completely out of balance. The Human bloodline has the absolute advantage, so his soul must cooperate with the splitting technique to maintain the balance of the half-Elven bloodline and prevent the energy in his body from going out of control and causing his body to collapse. Therefore, Elrond is only relying on his body's instincts to fight. In his simple mind, we are all prey. "
"But when his HP drops, it means that his Human bloodline is weakened. When his HP drops to 50%, the splitting technique will no longer require the assistance of Elrond's soul to suppress his body and prevent it from collapsing completely. At that time, a clear-headed Elrond who has inherited all his previous battle experience will let you know what a nightmare is. He will explode with terrifying strength and astonishing battle techniques. He will drag away an Elf with unstoppable momentum, absorb the Elf's flesh and blood, and come back in a few minutes! "
"More importantly, when we first met Elrond, his HP had dropped to 30% before he took over control of his body. As the number of spirits he hunted increased, his HP should have dropped to 55%, and his soul should be able to take over control of his body."
"Why don't we try stalling Elrond in this state?" asked Sheyan.
Reef smiled bitterly.
"First of all, we can't afford it. Elrond in his bestial state only attacks and does high damage. How long can the two of us last? Half an hour is the most! The splitting technique lasts for 24 hours! Secondly, Elrond's body is already in a bad state. Even if we don't attack him, his HP will automatically drop. "
"I understand," Sheyan nodded and said, "Hasn't Melody's seal been lifted? Why didn't she do anything? "
The Elven mage replied sadly.
"Because Elrond has been planning this for a long time. He has placed a magic mark on Lady Melody's body. More importantly, Elrond has used the power of the Elven Ring, Vilya, to seal Lady Melody. This seal is a hundred times stronger than the previous double seal!"
Sheyan groaned. Because he was looking at the ring on Melody's finger, he was distracted and received a heavy blow from Elrond. Even though he already had many attributes that suppressed critical hits, he still received a critical hit. His face was covered in blood.
Melody screamed in shock and tears streamed down her face. Sheyan gritted his teeth and asked.
"Is there no way to lift the seal?"
The other Elven mage sobbed and replied.
"My lover, Saya Redstreak, has tried. He is the best Warlock in all of Rivendell to remove seals. Unfortunately, he failed. Even though Sire Vilya's energy is almost depleted due to the continuous healing of Elrond, the backlash is still terrifying. As soon as he brought Sir Vilya to Mistress Melody's second knuckle, he was instantly frozen into an ice sculpture. "
Sheyan squinted his eyes and asked.
"That means all I need to do is remove this damned ring from Melody's finger?"
The Elven mage wiped his tears and replied.
"Yes, in theory, yes. But if you try to use violence, the moment you touch the ring, you'll be frozen by Vilya!"
Sheyan took a deep breath and cast an apologetic glance at the remaining two elves. Then, he dodged Elrond's pouncing attack and plunged his saber into Elrond's stomach. Then, he twisted his saber viciously!
Elrond let out a painful groan. He was about to retaliate when he suddenly sneezed. Sheyan immediately rushed forward and slammed his forehead into Elrond's nose, followed by a knee strike and a kick. After receiving Elrond's counterattack, Sheyan once again swung his saber. Under the effect of 'Zergling Rush', Sheyan slashed Elrond's neck three times in a row. The sound of the blade cutting into flesh and bone was extremely horrifying!
Elrond's clothes were instantly drenched in blood. He let out a long blood-curdling scream and rolled away. After he was safe, he stood there blankly for half a second. Then, he slowly covered his neck and raised his eyes. At this moment, the madness, hunger, and brutality that shrouded Elrond's body had disappeared. Instead, Elrond's eyes were filled with coldness, determination, and a sense that victory was within his grasp! (To be continued.
