I’m Really Not Trying to Be Chased by the Heroine as the Villainous Playboy! – Chapter 568

Chapter 115: The Unquenchable Flames

【Bloodline Awakening】 is the manifestation of the primal essence of extraordinary beings’ bloodlines.

Every extraordinary being’s bloodline essence is constant, with a maximum limit defined by their race.

However, whether it’s the Demon Race, the Human Race, or even Magical Beasts, often due to varying talents, they can only unleash limited power.

Nonetheless, a select few, whether blessed with extraordinary talent or just by sheer luck, can glimpse the essence of their race and master the quintessence of their bloodline.

This is what 【Bloodline Awakening】 is!

Under the ghostly shadows of the undead, an icy chill gripped the young boy, freezing his limbs and making it hard to breathe, even causing his very bloodline to slowly freeze.

Against the racial limits of the undead, pure cold power, even with the protection of the True Ancestor and Sea Emperor, Roy’s current bloodline purity couldn’t withstand it.

Using the extreme state of 【Bloodline Awakening】 against a lower sequence would undoubtedly be a laughingstock. But the undead had no intention of giving him a chance to counter, decisively striking down!

Even with the might of the Fire Dragon, even with dragon scales protecting him, even with purification enveloping him, he couldn’t possibly defend against this blow!

However, at the moment when the sky darkened, the Black-Haired Boy charged forward, swinging his sword.

The final struggle.

The undead general thought this way.

But then, a bloody sword light soared into the sky, pure blood energy boiling and screaming.

“Blood! Give me blood!!!”

Accompanied by a sinister howl, the blood-red strike blurred the heavens, colliding violently with the undead’s blow mid-air.

In the air, the shadow shattered, and the blood-red sword light suddenly stopped.

The undead general was forced to kneel for the second time, and despite his vast experience, he couldn’t help but be shaken by the power of this sword.

After all, this was his true full power.

And the massive sword, forged from Nether Iron of the Demon Realm and comparable to mithril, was also severed by that previous strike.

“Extraordinary Armament?”

“A Sequence 5-level extraordinary armament is a national-level strategic resource for any force. I didn’t expect you to have such a trump card.”

The undead general’s expression turned grave.

If it weren’t for the fact he had no love rivals, and had unleashed 【Bloodline Awakening】 with all his might, any other Sequence 5 demon would probably have lost under that sword.

After being astonished, the Wight General coldly stated, “Unfortunately, this is your limit.”

And indeed, that was the case.

Having spent a significant amount of blood, Roy held onto the sword, suddenly expelling a mouthful of foul air, his face pale and his breath significantly reduced.

His blood and extraordinary power had run dry, and even standing up felt arduous.

Like a flickering candle in a storm.

Yet, those pitch-black eyes still burned with the spirit of iron and blood.

“Sounds like you think you won.”

The Black-Haired Boy spat blood: “I’m still standing, aren’t I?”

Watching the blood-red longsword lift again, the undead general had already dashed out.

The weakened boy could no longer evade, as the general’s dagger pierced into the city wall, the blood-red longsword also falling to the ground.

The battle situation took a sharp turn; the border nobles’ warriors fought desperately but were firmly blocked by a larger number of the undead. The Golden-Winged Griffins roared and charged, only to be toppled by the armored undead horses.

Roy stared blankly at the giant sword that had impaled his chest, feeling his consciousness fade, the surrounding noise seeming to come from a distant place, making him drowsy.

As his vitality diminished, the death struggle only fueled his extraordinary bloodline to surge and sublimate, rising to new heights.

A ruthless glint appeared in Roy’s eyes, and then his aura exploded.

This was far from the first time he had crossed the fine line of life and death on the 【Iron Blood】 path; Roy was already familiar with it.

Just as the undead general aimed to stab him further, Roy grunted, fiercely grasping his hand to halt the attack, and threw a punch at the general’s face.

However, the undead general also stunnedly shouted back, unleashing an even greater extraordinary aura, and delivered a headbutt that struck the boy’s forehead, followed by a powerful thrust, the dagger penetrating the boy and even embedding in the city wall.

“You think it’s my first time dealing with 【Iron Blood】?”

Then came a punch that shook the city wall.

“They always hone themselves in iron and blood. I never doubted that you could do the same. But even so, you’re only Sequence 6!”

“I told you, this is your limit!”

With a roar, the undead knight swung his fists like he was pounding a punching bag, one punch after another, each blow sounding like thunder. The relentless assault made the centuries-old Snowwind Fortress walls tremble and slowly develop spider-web-like cracks.

No matter how fiercely the countless border warriors fought, no matter how the Golden-Winged Griffin cried his name, the boy merely bowed his head heavily, sinking into the wall under the frenzied punches, unable to raise a hand.

Yet the undead general dared not underestimate him.

Even with shattered bones, even in utter fatigue, he wouldn’t slack off, determined to completely extinguish the boy’s breath.

He couldn’t even maintain the dragon scales anymore.

Just a few more punches, and he could completely…?!

A fleeting thought caused the undead general to freeze momentarily.

When an extraordinary being’s bloodline breaks through, although they can’t heal injuries, they can regain some extraordinary power.

Raising their bloodline level in a life-and-death battle can also restore part of their state; this exceptional resilience is what makes 【Iron Blood】 so challenging.

However, Roy didn’t seize this opportunity.

No dragon scales to retaliate, no healing to restore, he just let the general pound him.

He didn’t believe a warrior who remained unfazed even after losing an arm wouldn’t have enough willpower, nor did he believe the opponent would give up.

Unless the opponent was doing it on purpose.

Instinctively sensing the terrifying killing intent, the undead general, not caring about his shock, quickly grasped the dagger, aiming to crush the boy’s heart.

But the next moment, the bloodied boy grinned sinisterly.

“You guessed it right.”

With a punch thrown, this time, the undead general was sent flying, along with the broken sword in his hand, like a kite with a severed string.

As life drained away, his vision blurred.

The Black-Haired Boy managed to prop up his fragmented, bleeding body, yet the fighting spirit in his eyes soared like never before; one iris burned with golden flames, and his extraordinary aura climbed sharply.

Just by taking a step forward, the chaotic intertwining of gold and blood summoned a violent blizzard.

Indeed, to defeat the undead general, relying solely on iron and blood wasn’t enough.

Even as Sequence 6, it wasn’t sufficient.

He needed fire.

Wagering everything, to burn his own fire.

The blessing from the Phoenix, 【Unquenchable Flames】, was his true trump card.

As his life force ebbed, it was replaced by an equal amount of extraordinary power.

At the brink of death, it was the moment of rebirth through flames.

Igniting himself was the only way to unleash the brilliance of his fated burning.

With 【Iron Blood】 rising to Sequence 6, 【Evil Dragon Blood Armor】 elevating his extraordinary power to the pinnacle of Sequence 6, and then using 【Unquenchable Flames】 to break through the final line.

At that moment, he finally stood on equal ground with the undead general.

Just below the mythic beings, at the pinnacle of extraordinary beings, standing alone against the crowd as Sequence 5!
