World Development System

John muttered as he made his observations, "It seems Space Magic needs to be upgraded for it to be used against higher level enemies. However, the range of Space Portal seems to be 500 meters from what I can feel. But mana consumption becomes high with higher range."

Seeing that Irmela was still moving towards himself without being suddenly transported behind Leo, John held the Amulet of Thorns and activated it using his magic power when Irmela was about to penetrate him with his sword.

Irmela laughed and spoke as soon as the Sword Penetrated, "Hmph, unlike others, I never underestimate my enemies and attack with my most powerful attacks on enemies even if they are ants. For a long time, you have pissed me and my followers in this region with your activities against the Radiant Church. All you had to do was bow against me but you didn\'t and now you will pay for your transgressions against me and my followers."

As soon as Irmela stabbed John, he saw that John was laughing while a little bit of blood was coming out of John\'s mouth. A Red-colored dome shield immediately rose and covered John\'s whole body without being penetrated by the sword. The Red-colored dome rose from the Amulet of thorns which was in John\'s hand. John then bit his hand and spread his blood on the Amulet of Thorns which got activated immediately. John\'s hair too started turning red when Amulet was activated.

Irmela\'s face was pale as soon as he saw this, "How is this artifact from the underworld in your hands. It is mostly in the hands of Fire-abyss Royalty. And How can you transform? High humans have long been extinct by dilution. Heck, there are a lot of variables."

After watching this Irmela immediately made the distance between himself and John as he started chanting a spell and immediately Golden light shields began appearing before Irmela in large numbers.

He thought, \'I hope this is enough. I have really underestimated this sinner\'s power. Who knew that the demons would help him actively and lend him that artifact. If I was near it then soul magic would have done irreparable damage.\'

Before he could speak, The Amulet of Thorns got activated as Blood Red projectiles started appearing in large numbers before the Red dome shield of John. There was a very heavy aura being emitted by the Soul-Blood Projectiles.

[Detecting Soul, Blood and Dark fusion magic from the Amulet of Thorns. Started Analyzing.]

Without paying attention to the notification by the System, John immediately raised his right hand and pointed it towards Irmela as the countless Blood Red Projectiles started shooting themselves towards Irmela.

As soon as the first projectile came in contact with the shield of Irmela, it got burst in red fire along with other shields in the boundary of 3 meters. This result shocked a lot of people including Arzaz and Bidder who knew about the effect of this Amulet.

Bidder immediately asked Arzaz, "Arzaz, isn\'t the effect of Amulet a bit too much this time around? usually, it only burst around the periphery of 1 meter. What do you think is the reason."

Arzaz too was confused as he looked at John keenly as he saw his blood-red hair and increased physique. He smiled and spoke, "It seems, it is due to his magic purity as well as his Pure Blood which has a better effect on Amulet. After looking at Lord John, now I am sure that he and Fredric have made some sort of deal."

Bidder was shocked after he heard Arzaz as he immediately looked at John and spoke, "He has more pure blood than us demons! How is this possible? Is he really a human? That red blood hair is actually the sort of transformation of Bluesea demons which is usually blue in normal circumstances. Don\'t tell me.."

Arzaz nodded and spoke, "Yes, don\'t speak more or we might be in danger. We better secure ourselves a place so that we can watch this fight and also watch the activities of Chad if he is planning something."

Meanwhile, Chad too had the same face when he saw John\'s transformation as he spoke, "No wonder Duke Fredric is allying with him. But how did he get the blood of Bluesea Ancestor? It looks like something isn\'t matching. I better investigate more. And it seems that Bidder really invested a lot in this upstart king. We really need to check the sample of his blood before determining his race."

As soon as the Blood-red projectiles came into contact with the shields, it was as if big explosions were taking place time and again on Irmela who was in the Air. Irmela\'s face became pale after taking the heavy bombardment. New Projectiles and Shields were being created every second but the firepower of Soul-blood projectiles was more than what could be handled by Irmela.

A lot of projectiles came in direct contact with the Irmela\'s Shadow Silhouette as it burst and injured Irmela gravely. The damage became more grave due to the effect of Soul magic and Dark magic which was fused in the attack.

[Ding...

...Soul magic analyzed fully.]

After looking at the grave situation, Irmela muttered, "This Lowly mortal actually forced me to use this artifact. Truly Humiliating. I can\'t go empty-handed after this much loss of face."

This time, after the initial contact with Soul-Blood Projectiles and grave damages, Irmela looked at John gravely and angrily as he made more distance between him and John as he bought out an artifact and burst it.

Immediately after the artifact burst, A big radiant shield was created around Irmela as he remained seated and chanted a spell as if to stabilize the shield. The radiant shield immediately took the attack of Soul-blood projectiles which failed to penetrate Irmela\'s defense for the first time. The new shields stopped forming while the Radiant Shield started doing most of the work.
