Chapter 429: Blood Sacrifice

When Robert Yvonne broke into the inner layer of the great fleet, legendary-level powerhouses from all directions rose into the air, all wearing red reflective clothing with very clear markings to avoid being hit by the anti-aircraft fire net below. When fighting Robert, they never engaged in close combat. They only intercepted in advance the direction Robert might break through, then exhausted every means to slow down the Blood-Eyed Maid, preventing her from approaching the core fleet where the 'Battleaxe Battleship' was located.

The formation of the entire fleet also began to change. The armed merchant ships that had originally guarded the outer core fleet started to outflank from both sides, attempting to encircle Robert Yvonne's figure in a surrounding manner. Meanwhile, streams of flame projectiles sprayed from all directions continuously blocked the sky on all sides.

They were trying to compress the maid's movement space, but the effect was limited. Robert Yvonne's momentum continued to rise, unstoppable and invincible. She had three defensive holy artifacts, including the 'Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella' which was both offensive and defensive, capable of defending against most artillery fire. Only those legendary snipers could inflict damage on her.

Her sword light was extremely sharp and fierce, like a soaring dragon. Although this 'Blood-Eyed Angel' held multiple兼职 professions, at this moment, what she trusted most was the slender longsword in her hand. The latter did not let her down; within less than thirty seconds, it had sunk three more armed merchant ships and severely wounded two legends. Although these two quickly retreated under the cover of their companions and were restored by the best holy healers, Robert Yvonne's blade was also coated with a potent poison. Even advanced holy healers could not fully neutralize it in a short time, leaving a layer of cyan on their faces and their aura far weaker than before.

"Is this your maid?"

About thirty-two kilometers from the battlefield, in a hidden demiplane space, Anthony exclaimed with admiration: "I can tell she is very strong. I guess Miss Yvonne's talent in swordsmanship is of the highest level."

Li Mochen also showed surprise and delight. He knew that Anthony's words did not refer to Robert Yvonne's current magical energy level, but specifically to her swordsmanship. It was clearly not limited to the inheritance of the 'War Angel Heart', but a supreme killing method created by Robert skillfully merging her own learning with the sword techniques of the Maya gods, taking the strengths of both.

It had the ruthlessness and sharpness of a top assassin, as well as the wildness and dominance of the 'Wind God of War', extremely concise and practical, without any superfluous moves.

This richest man's knowledge had touched the roots of the world, so he could naturally recognize the strength of this 'Blood-Eyed Angel'.

"In terms of combat skills, she is indeed promising and extraordinary. She has given me a huge surprise."

In Li Mochen's view, Robert's swordsmanship was not without flaws; in fact, there were many points worth discussing. But considering that she had only obtained the War Angel Heart about a year ago, and that most of the time she was trying to avoid her spirit being contaminated by the War Angel Heart, this was truly remarkable.

After witnessing Robert's battle with his own eyes, he understood why, even before her fate had completely changed, a large amount of function had already been fed back to the 'Divine Cloud Luck Purple Gold Tower'.

"But her condition looks very bad."

Anthony looked at Li Mochen, who was lying prone: "I think you can make a move now. If this continues, she will definitely lose control."

At this moment, the blood light around Robert Yvonne was already visible to the naked eye.

Although this maid's battle achievements were astonishing, she had also been hit at least five times by those three legendary snipers.

Facing the heavy pressure from all directions, Robert could only continuously draw power from the 'War Angel Heart'.

"It's not time yet."

Li Mochen's tone was very calm: "I can save her now, and I can kill those legends one by one. But after that, Robert's strength will be hard to improve in the future, and she will face various hidden dangers. She will need hundreds or even thousands of years to solve the problems in her divine soul and repair her body before she can truly step into the demigod level. But now there is a better plan, to directly enter the demigod realm."

In fact, Robert wouldn't live that long. Even if he used the Blood Spirit Crystal, the maid only had a little over a hundred years of life. He could only hope that his master would recover his strength soon, or even go further, to help Robert eliminate her own hidden dangers.

But now, he had the opportunity to solve most problems at once.

"Directly enter the demigod?"

Anthony's mind was dazed for a moment, then he frowned: "Then there will be no hidden dangers?"

"The hidden dangers that should exist still exist, but—"

Li Mochen explained: "Problems that are tricky for legends may not be so tricky after reaching the demigod realm. For example, the 'Ten Thousand Spirits Curse'. Do you think a demigod's resistance is stronger, or a legend's?"

For instance, the injury in his divine soul now, if he still had strength comparable to a god, it would be easy to solve.

"Of course it's the demigod. But after drawing more power from the 'War Angel Heart', the Devouring of Ten Thousand Spirits she suffers will be a hundred times greater than before."

But then Anthony thought of the Blood Spirit Crystal Li Mochen had prepared for Robert.

"I see. No wonder you said that. You plan to use the inverted hexagram array they set up and that holy relic—"

At this moment, Anthony seemed to think of something. He shuddered all over and looked at Li Mochen again with horrified eyes.

"You intend to perform a blood sacrifice, don't you?"

In legend, the 'hexagram' is not only the symbol of King Solomon but also the seal he imposed on the seventy-two demons.

In fact, in orthodox magical traditions, the upright 'hexagram' can seal evil spirits, while the inverted 'hexagram' is usually used to summon demons or even for blood sacrifices.

"They set up this array to offer a sacrifice to a certain demon lord and then use the demon lord's power to deprive Robert of the Wind God of War divine authority."

Li Mochen admitted frankly: "This is also my way of turning their trick against them."

Li Mochen's understanding of this world's magical knowledge and runes had crossed the beginner level under Anthony's guidance, but that was not enough for him to analyze the mysteries of the hexagram array.

However, regarding the methods of the demonic path, Li Mochen had accumulated extensive knowledge over more than sixty years of conquest, even surpassing those demon lords.

So although the rune systems of the two worlds were different, Li Mochen could still see through its mysteries at a glance, just like a few months ago in the underground hall of the Dragon Witch Cult, where he saw through the mystery of the resurrection array at a glance.

The way of rune arrays and demonic methods—all changes are within the same principle.

"A Mo, I have to admit you always have some surprising ideas, but they are also very crazy."

Anthony fell into deep thought: "Once this hexagram array is activated, the blood and souls of all the dead around cannot leave. Thirteen legends—that is a heavy sacrifice. If you are a bit greedy, you might even gain some other benefits. How should I put it? Although the process is bloody and cruel, and uses dark magic, as you said, it's just a countermeasure. I personally don't object. But you have to be careful—"

Anthony's expression was solemn: "The object of their sacrifice should be Beelzebub, one of the Seven Princes of Hell. A demon lord like that is very cunning and very troublesome. Once he sets his sights on you, he will use all kinds of means to pester you endlessly—"

Beelzebub was originally an ancient sun god, the Lord of Light of the Phoenicians (also known as Canaanites). However, after losing a divine war, this failed sun god fell into hell and became the demon lord in the Phoenician scriptures.
