Whoosh!
The terrifying black mist blade quickly slashed towards Niklos Blaze and the other two, creating a strong gust of wind in the room.
The strong gust of wind made one's hair stand on end. One could imagine the power of this attack.
"Not good!"
Sensing the movement behind them, Niklos Blaze and the other two, who were running towards the exit of the room, suddenly changed their expressions. Just by listening to the movement, they could already feel that the attack was extremely powerful.
At this moment, Niklos Blaze suddenly turned around, and the aura on his body suddenly surged.
Whoosh whoosh —
The golden flames on the golden spear soared, and the tip of the spear was scorching hot. The spear pierced the black giant blade.
Crack!
Under this spear, the black giant blade shattered, and a violent roar sounded in the room.
To be able to shatter the black giant blade, which had the power of a second stage King, Niklos Blaze's spear had the power of a second stage King as well!
"Gray Fergus, it's you!"
After shattering the black giant blade, Niklos Blaze had the time to look in the direction of the black giant blade. When he saw that it was Gray, shock and astonishment flashed across his face.
The power of the attack just now was clearly at the second stage King level. He had only been able to block it after using his blood skill. However, such an attack came from Gray Fergus. Didn't that mean that Gray Fergus's combat power was at the second stage King level?
"Is it strange that I'm here?"
Gray sneered.
"You're the one who killed the King of Assassins!"
Niklos Blaze's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Gray solemnly. Considering the combat power that Gray had displayed, he looked at Gray solemnly.
The reason why he guessed that the King of Assassins had been ambushed by the Purple Moon Kingdom and died was because he was sure that Gray did not have the ability to kill the King of Assassins. However, with the power that Gray had displayed, it was obviously possible for him to kill the King of Assassins.
"If you think so, then so be it!"
Gray did not admit or deny it. In the next moment, he swiftly slashed out with his sword, and the black mist turned into a giant blade. With a strong gust of wind, he slashed towards Niklos Blaze.
Hu hu — —
Niklos Blaze's expression was grave. The golden flames on his spear emitted a terrifyingly high temperature as he once again thrust his spear towards the giant black blade.
Crack!
The giant black blade shattered, and the golden flames dissipated. Niklos Blaze was forced back a few steps, but he had once again blocked Gray's second stage King level attack.
"To be able to use Blood Skills consecutively, Niklos Blaze must have mastered a complete Blood Skill!"
Gray narrowed his eyes.
Gray had suspected that Niklos Blaze might have a complete blood skill when he was in the Endless Ice Fields. Now, his guess was confirmed.
Niklos Blaze's abilities were naturally not at Stage Two Monarch level. The only way he could unleash Stage Two Monarch level abilities in such a short period of time was if he had used a complete Blood Skill that cost him very little.
"I'll have to wait until Niklos Blaze's Blood Force is exhausted. I'll have to fight for at least a few dozen times before things change. I have to end this quickly!"
Facing Niklos Blaze, who had mastered a complete Blood Skill, it would be difficult for ordinary methods to hurt Niklos Blaze before Niklos Blaze's Blood Force was exhausted. Determination flashed across Gray's face as he made his decision.
Rip!
With the sound of cloth tearing, Gray's clothes on his upper body were torn apart. His body suddenly expanded until he was over two meters tall. It was obvious that he had also used a Blood Skill.
There were many opponents in this tomb. Using a Blood Skill would consume a large amount of Blood Force, and there would be a side effect of dizziness after using it. It would be very dangerous. However, this was the perfect opportunity to kill Niklos Blaze. It would be a pity if he missed it, so he decisively used Fury.
A violent and dangerous aura emanated from Gray's body. Just like before, Gray swung his sword again.
It was the same sword, but the color of the black mist giant blade had become deeper. It was as if it could absorb the surrounding light. Ripples appeared in the air as it swiftly attacked Niklos Blaze.
"Not good!"
Niklos Blaze's expression changed. He felt a hair-raising danger from this black mist giant blade. He felt that even if he used a Blood Skill, he would definitely not be able to block this attack.
Almost instinctively, he leaped to the side in an attempt to avoid this attack. However, he was shocked to find that the black mist giant blade was too fast for him to dodge.
It was at this moment that a sudden change occurred.
Swoosh!
A golden light beam suddenly appeared from the side and swiftly collided with the black mist giant blade.
Boom!
The terrifying black giant blade shattered, setting off a strong gust of wind.
The gust of wind was as sharp as a blade. Scratches appeared on Niklos Blaze's body as he was closer. However, he was not hit by the black giant blade and was not seriously injured. He managed to dodge this attack.
"What?"
Gray exclaimed. This golden light beam actually blocked his attack, which should have reached the third stage of the King Stage after he used his Blood Skill. One could imagine the power of this attack.
He could not help but look in the direction of the golden light beam.
In that direction, a skinny old man appeared at the door of the room. He had seen this old man in the Fire Kingdom's team before. Now, it seemed that this old man was most likely a third stage King, which meant that he had undergone the second metamorphosis.
"You have such strength at such a young age. I can't let you live!"
The skinny old man looked at Gray with a piercingly cold gaze.
He had rushed over after hearing the commotion of the battle. When Gray and Niklos Blaze were fighting, he had already arrived. However, he did not immediately save Niklos Blaze.
Juniors needed to be trained in order to grow. He treated this as a form of training for Niklos Blaze.
It was only when he saw Gray brazenly use his blood skill and unleash a power that Niklas Blaze could not block that he took action to stop the attack.
Whoosh!
Gray was alerted of danger. He maintained his berserk state and changed his direction to slash at the skinny old man.
The black giant blade, which had reached the third stage of the King Stage, emitted a terrifying wave of energy and attacked the skinny old man.
Meanwhile, he quickly retreated toward Francis and Sophia.
"Hmph —"
Faced with such a powerful attack, the skinny old man only snorted coldly. He stabbed his spear and instantly shattered the black giant blade. Then, with a whoosh, he chased after Gray.
Gray, who was in berserk state, was not only strengthened in his Blood Fiends, but also in his speed, strength, and defense. His speed had reached the second stage of the King Stage. However, compared to the skinny old man, he was clearly one level slower.
The skinny old man was quickly closing the distance between him and the skinny old man.
Sensing that the skinny old man was quickly approaching, Gray turned to face him. After being strengthened by his Blood Skill, the black giant blade's power should have reached the third stage of the King Stage. He slashed at the skinny old man again and again while retreating.
Crack, crack, crack!
Faced with the black giant blade's power that was at the third stage of the King Stage, the skinny old man did not dare to be too careless. He could only dodge or block these black giant blades. He could not help but slow down his footsteps toward Gray.
"Final struggle!"
However, the skinny old man was not worried that Gray would escape. Even if he had mastered a complete Blood Skill, he would not be able to use it for a long time. When his opponent's Blood Power was exhausted, the skinny old man could easily catch up and kill him.
Taking advantage of the time the old man's footsteps slowed down, Gray finally retreated to the room where Francis and Sophia were. His two hands touched each of them, immediately activating the purple ring.
Whoosh!
Gray's figure disappeared in an instant with Francis and Sophia.
Whoosh!
Not long after Gray entered the room, the old man rushed in.
"Hm, where is he?"
The old man who rushed into the room could not help but look puzzled.
The room was empty. There was not a single person in sight. How did he escape in such a short time?
He did not see Gray and the other two teleport away. He was not sure how Gray had escaped. After all, there were many ways to escape and some other methods could achieve the same effect.
Gray and the other two appeared in a secret place not far from the graveyard. After confirming that there was no danger around, Gray quickly deactivated Blood Skill Berserk. Maintaining Blood Skill Berserk consumed a large amount of his Blood Power almost every second.
The moment he deactivated Blood Skill Berserk, he felt slightly dizzy and his body could not help but sway slightly.
"Are you okay?"
Francis and Sophia quickly supported Gray and asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy. This is the side effect of using this Blood Skill."
Gray shook his head. After a while, he recovered. Only then did he realize that his back was wet.
The confrontation just now was very dangerous. If he was not careful, he could have been left there forever. It was not that Gray was weak, it was just that he was unlucky to have met a King level expert of the Flame Kingdom who had gone through two metamorphoses.
A King level expert who had gone through two metamorphoses was rare even in the Flame Kingdom. He did not expect to meet one when he was fighting against Niklos Blaze.
"More than half of my Blood Power has been consumed!"
He sensed the amount of Blood Power and realized that he had consumed more than half of his Blood Power in the process of using Blood Skill Berserk.
In his current state, it was obviously impossible to continue exploring the tomb. He endured the pain and took out a bottle of Purplish Red Potion. He opened the bottle cork and drank it.
Purplish Red Potion was a high-grade potion that could recover Blood Power and physical fatigue. It was effective even for Kings. Gray had asked the Royal Family's Master Alchemist to identify this potion. There were a total of five bottles.
Such a potion was naturally very precious. It could be a life-saving measure at a critical moment. Most importantly, there was no formula for this level of potion in the Four Kingdoms. It was impossible to refine it.
However, they could not afford to wait while exploring the tomb. Hence, they could only splurge on a bottle of Purplish Red Potion.
"Let's go. This time, we'll avoid the previous direction and search in another direction. We should be able to avoid encountering that old man."
Gray said to Francis and Sophia. However, Francis and Sophia shook their heads slightly.
"No, we've already gained a lot. We won't get involved!"
"Alright then!"
Seeing that the two of them had decided not to enter, Gray did not say anything more. It was definitely dangerous inside. The three of them had been forced to escape just now. Since the two of them had decided not to enter, he naturally would not persuade them otherwise.
