Chapter 91: Moto’s Strange Ability

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Remember, don’t waste a single drop of his blood! Once you’ve wounded him, make sure to suck him dry!” Moto seemed to have a plan in mind.

“Idiots, did you think that I couldn’t fly any higher?”

While using his fire shield to block the crimson rays, Locke ordered his Gale Wings to soar higher!

At the same time, he swatted down the bats in his way with his flaming hammer!

He swiftly tore a hole in their formation and soared higher into the air!

Moto’s reacted quickly as well. His objective was to drive Locke higher into the air, and as such, he ordered his swarm to pursue Locke!

Countless crimson rays swept through the sky, and during the downtime of the rays, the bats would engage Locke in a melee.

However, fully aware that they were no match for Locke, their melee encounters were only to stall time for their next barrage of crimson rays!

Although Moto’s tactic had seemed crude, in reality, it was rather effective!

Through the constant pressuring from his bats, Moto hoped that Locke’s Gale Wings would rapidly deplete him of his mana!

After all, Beastmasters without mana were no different from ordinary people.

Had Moto’s opponent been anyone else, he would most likely have succeeded in his attempt!

Unfortunately… He was facing Locke!

Locke had enough mana to last his divine beasts for an entire day!

As such, Moto’s tactic had posed no threat to him.

…

Half an hour had gone by, and yet, Locke remained in high spirits.

He had shown no signs of his mana shortage, nor did he show any signs of fatigue.

“This guy… What’s going on?” Moto was beginning to panic. He had never encountered such a powerful foe before!

Should the situation persist any further, Moto would run out of mana first!

‘I can’t let this situation drag out any further!’

Realizing that he was in trouble, Moto quickly rescinded his Crimson Slash command.

He had gotten rid of the nobles; he had gotten rid of his brother, Alva, and yet, a wrench had been thrown into his plans that he had so painstakingly formulated!

‘It seems that I must resort to that skill!’ Moto mentally exclaimed.

“Why did you stop?” Locke, who was in the air, taunted his opponent upon noticing the bats’ retreat.

Moto’s playful demeanor was no longer anywhere to be seen.

With a wave of his hand, more than half of his remaining bats turned into piles of bloody goop that rapidly converged towards himself!

No human body was able to contain such a huge amount of blood!

From this, Locke had finally come to a realization!

The blood elemental was indeed contained within Moto!

Upon this realization, Locke no longer hesitated. He immediately hurled a Hurricane Piercer at Moto!

“Boom!”

The explosion stirred up waves of debris and dust!

However, once the dust settled, Moto was nowhere to be found!

All he could see was a pool of blood gliding away!

Upon reaching a safe location, the pool of blood stopped moving.

The blood bubbled and quickly formed a humanoid figure. After a few seconds, Moto had reappeared, and he was safe and sound!

“Hahaha… Spare your efforts! There’s no way you’ll be able to kill me!” Not a single speck of dust was present on Moto’s clothes, he had come out of Locke’s attack completely unscathed!

“Blood elementals are really unique! But they’re also kind of revolting…” Locke was trying to persuade himself from picking up a blood elemental of his own.

No matter how he looked at it, blood elementals were truly sinister Battle Beasts.

Moto’s eyes were blood red, and his face was deathly pale. He really looked like a vampire!

With a wave of his hands, the remaining bats in the air began to grow several factors in size!

More importantly, the bats had become blood red in color!

They were now several times stronger than before!

“Clang!”

Fortunately, Infinite Fire Element’s timely transformation into a battle shield had prevented Locke from coming into harm’s way!

Although the bats were much faster than before, Locke was not afraid. He brandished his sword and swung it down on his enemies!

Due to the enhancement of Body Tempering, Locke’s eyesight had vastly improved as well!

However, each bat that Locke defeated morphed into a pile of blood that returned to Moto!

“Bet you didn’t expect this, huh! I can return them to my own body!”

Then, countless drops of blood spurted out from his fingertips. The gout of bloods then transformed into blood red bats that charged forward!

This was Moto’s strongest move — Infinite Spawn!

By Moto’s estimates, Locke would only last for an hour or two before his mana ran out.

On the other hand, he had enough mana to use the move for four more hours.

As long as he could maintain Infinite Spawn for these four hours, Moto believed that he would achieve victory!

As long as he persevered, victory was his!

‘Moto’s combat style is really shameless.’

Every time Locke killed the bats, they would turn into blood and return to Moto’s body. Then, they would respawn and attack Locke once again.

Although the cycle had appeared to be unbreakable, Locke had thought of a loophole.

Once he was certain that the strategy would work, Locke then transformed Infinite Fire Element into a tiny dagger and hurled it at one of the bats. Then, Locke extinguished its presence.

After absorbing the blood from the bat that was struck, Moto rejoiced!

‘The kid’s fire elemental has disappeared. It seems that he’ll run out of mana soon!’ Certain that victory was his, Moto burst out in laughter!

“Hahahaha! Attack him! Drain him of his remaining mana! I’ll savor his blood later!”

Perhaps due to the number of bats dotting the sky, Moto was having a difficult time gauging Locke’s expression.

However, had he been able to see Locke’s expression, he would have realized that something was amiss. After all, Locke was smiling!

Suddenly, Locke hastened his Gale Wings and he appeared directly before Moto!

“Hurricane Piercer!”

Locke gathered wind mana in his hands and fired continuous blasts at Moto!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

However, Moto had turned into a pile of blood to escape Locke’s attack!

He was completely uninjured!

“Hahaha! Keep wasting your precious mana, Locke! More! More! I promise that once you’ve collapsed from exhaustion, I will definitely come to your rescue! I can’t have your precious vessel being injured, now can I?! Hahahaha…”

Moto did not expect Locke to abuse his mana so much!

He thought that his plan was succeeding!

However, his joy was short lived, Soon, his expression froze on his face, and he began to contort in pain!

The temperature of his body was rising, and there was a searing pain plaguing his body!

“Ah… ! What’s going on?”

The sensation gradually intensified, and before long, the heart-wrenching pain had spread throughout his body!

“Quick! Return to me!” Moto had never faced such a situation before. In his panic, he immediately absorbed all his remaining bats into his body!

Despite that, the pain did not lessen at all!

He fell to the ground and rolled around in pain!

“You… What did you do?!”

Locke did not answer. Instead, he returned to the ground and sat on a rock. Then, he flashed a cheeky grin at the frothing Moto!
