Bang!

Due to the vast disparity in strength, Colin was still violently thrown to the ground by the half-elf knight.

However, because of this momentary delay, he didn’t have time to turn and face the Teutonic knight charging from behind him.

Swish!

A flash of golden light passed, and a massive half-meter long gash was slashed across the half-elf knight’s back, almost splitting him in two.

He unleashed a furious roar, tossed his long spear, attempting to fend off the Teutonic knight, and then turned to run.

Unfortunately, the guards of the St. Hilde family had surrounded him, blocking his escape route.

Finally, this half-elf knight was caught up and stabbed in the brow by the incoming Teutonic knight, dying as he kneeled.

With his death, the half-elf guards who were already on the losing side lost their will to fight, and vanished in an instant.

“Viscount, Viscount… Are you alright?” The Teutonic knight looked at the bloody wound on Colin’s chest with a gloomy gaze.

Despite the piercing pain causing Colin to break into a cold sweat, he still raised his hand and pointed towards the coffin on the ground, weakly saying, “Protect… Vera… Miss… leave the city…”

The Teutonic knight immediately replied with tears welling up in his eyes. He knelt on one knee and solemnly swore, “Rest assured! I promise to escort Miss Vera’s remains out of the city, even if it costs my life!”

Seemingly content, Colin finally closed his eyes and stopped kicking.

He fell silent.

The Teutonic knight and the other soldiers on the scene paid their respects to Colin before lifting the coffin and continuing their journey.

Once everyone had left, the battlefield returned to peaceful silence.

Occasionally, some passersby peeked at the scene, but they swiftly detoured after witnessing the carnage, unable to withstand the heavy stench of blood.

Under the silver moonlight, one of the corpses in the pile twitched.

The “resurrected” corpse slowly crawled towards the body of the half-elf armored knight.

“Gurgle… Gurgle…”

A chilling sucking sound started to echo, adding a spine-chilling eeriness to this hellish battlefield.

Several scavenging crows landed, but quickly flew off, as if sensing the presence of something terrifying.

Colin continued to feed on the fresh blood of the fourth-ranked half-elf knight.

As more and more blood was consumed, Colin was thrilled to find that his body started to heat up once again.

Moreover, the sensation was particularly intense this time, so vigorous that it made him break into a sweat.

Simultaneously, a potent sense of hunger enveloped Colin, making it impossible for him to stop feeding.

The half-elf knight’s corpse quickly started to shrivel at a visible speed, as if it would soon be drained dry!

Colin’s stomach swelled rapidly, but there was no sign of him intending to stop feeding.

Because, he was starved!

This mental starvation contradicted the increasingly filling sensation in his physical body, yet both feelings coexisted.

Finally, the half-elf knight’s corpse was completely depleted, unable to deliver a single drop of blood anymore.

Colin lifted his head and took a long breath.

The warmth engulfing his body induced an incredibly satisfying feeling, as if he was reveling in the sensation of his power escalating.

But soon, this pleasure disappeared.

Colin was astonished to find that his entire body’s blood was circulating like mad, boiling!

Buzz

A strange hum reverberated from Colin’s body, sounding like the piercing chirping of hundreds of bees.

The hum gradually unified, and its pitch was also fluctuating. Finally, it sounded similar to a bell ringing.

Ding Ding Ding

At this point, Colin resembled a boiled lobster, his entire body flushing a moist red. Even tiny red spots appeared across his skin, as if the excessive blood inside was attempting to seep out.

Bang!

Colin’s long-stilled heart suddenly throbbed once again!

He couldn’t help but clutch his chest, as the massive throb of his heartbeat had caused him to nearly cry out in pain.

Thump!

Again, it happened.

“Ah!”

Finally, Colin couldn’t hold back a low growl.

Simultaneously, he wondered what was happening to him.

Could the reaction to his advancement to the fourth rank be this immense?

Thump! Thump! Thump!

His heart seemed to suddenly regain its vitality, beating faster and faster.

Colin let out a low growl and stopped trying to figure out what was happening, no longer resisting the changes taking place within his body.

With the sudden “revival” and renewed beating of his heart, Colin’s blood began to boil and churn even more violently.

His muscles also began to enlarge due to the increased blood flow, and a blood-red pattern began to form on his skin, akin to some kind of scale armor, filled with a mysterious and arcane aura.

The climbing blood pressure caused Colin’s veins to slowly bulge, like a web of cyan-purple steel cables wrapping around his body.

The intense pain made Colin open his eyes wide, his body shaking, massive beads of sweat seeping out but rapidly evaporating due to the high temperature on his body surface.

Wham!

Under the intense pain, Colin brutally smashed his fist into the ground.

His fist, bulging with veins, created a crater, stirring up a circle of invisible ripples, which spread around.

The ground instantly sunk in, forming a clear dent of his fist!

“Ah! Ah! Ah!!!”

Colin began to throw his fists recklessly, creating numerous punch marks in the ground. A series of shockwaves spread out, causing a minor earthquake.

Thump thump thump!!!

Colin’s heart was beating faster and faster, like a tireless powerful pump, taking over Colin’s blood circulation, and pushing it into a terrifying state.

Cycles of crazily circulating blood rampaged inside Colin’s body, as if looking for a vent.

Under the stimulus of the surging blood, Colin’s body began to enlarge continuously.

The armor he originally wore could no longer contain his expanding body and was torn apart.

By then, Colin’s mind was somewhat blurred.

The entire world in front of him seemed to be veiled in a layer of bloody red.

Especially that curved silver moon, it was so red that it seemed to be dripping blood!

Countless blood mists drifted up from the corpses surrounding Colin and converged around him.

Ding!

After a muffled sound of a bell, the whole world seemed to quiet down.

Colin bent over, his body trembling constantly, as if something was struggling to emerge from within him!

Wham!

Colin landed a final hit on the ground, and then, he surprisingly quietened down.

By now, his eyes had completely turned crimson red, void of any human emotions. His exposed skin was covered in mysterious blood-red patterns, and on his back

His muscles there were bulging like protruding horns.

Snick!

The horns burst open, and a pair of black bat wings sprouted from his body. The bat wings slowly opened, extending more than ten meters on each side.

Colin stood up.

At this point, he had turned into a mini giant nearly four meters tall.

Those huge bat wings flapped backwards, stirring up gusts of wild wind.

Facing the blood moon in the sky, Colin revealed his sharp tusks and let out a silent roar!
