“Didn’t the Very High elders seal the blood coral? Why is it here now, all of a sudden?” Han Sen stared at the relic in surprise. He had used the Four Sheep Cube to reach this place. How could a sealed chunk of coral make its way there?

While Han Sen was still trying to figure out what was going on, his left arm started to move. It was like the blood in his arm was driving his muscles forward. Han Sen’s brain definitely wasn’t telling his arm to move, but his hand reached out to grip the blood coral anyway.

Han Sen looked at his hand in consternation, but he couldn’t stop it. His left hand gripped the part of the blood coral that looked like a dragon’s head.

“That Sacred elite isn’t planning on using my body to be reborn, is he?” Han Sen wondered. His body and the blood coral began to glow with a red light.

The most frustrating thing was that this was the most critical moment of the fight. He was losing control of his body, and the demon was still coming toward him. It was going to kill him.

“Big Brother, I understand that you’re probably trying to take over my body, but can’t it wait until later? Now is a bad time.” To his surprise, Han Sen noticed that the blood demon wasn’t attacking him. It stood some distance away, looking at Han Sen with confusion.

Boom!

Blood light surged from Han Sen’s body, but the process was actually the reverse of his expectations. Instead of changing Han Sen, the light was leaving Han Sen’s body and going toward the blood coral in his hands.

The blood light sank into the blood coral, and Han Sen’s black scales started to dull and thin. It was like he was devolving.

“What is going on? It isn’t going to take over my body? Is it going to suck me dry instead?” Han Sen looked at the blood coral. The dragon-shaped blood coral began to change as it absorbed the blood light coming from Han Sen. Oddly enough, the blood coral had lost its serpentine appearance and was now taking on a humanoid shape.

No, it was taking on an actual human shape. The dragon head was becoming a human head, and long human arms were growing out of the body. The tail, however, still looked the same.

As the blood coral changed, Han Sen’s black scales quickly disappeared. Soon, Han Sen looked normal again. It seemed like something had been pulled out of his body.

“Wait a minute, the shape of the blood coral looks rather familiar… Old Blood Dragon Lady. Isn’t this what the Old Blood Dragon Lady looks like?” It took Han Sen a minute, but he finally realized why the half-human, half-dragon shape of the blood coral looked so familiar.

The blood coral now had a human head and a dragon tail. Dragon scales covered the being, and horns protruded from her head. The Old Blood Dragon Lady was the being that had been drawn on his back long ago. But the Old Blood Dragon Lady on his back had possessed silver scales, whereas this one had red scales.

“I understand now. I understand why the blood coral has been following me. It is because there are still remnants of the Old Blood Dragon Lady in the tattoo on my back. If the Old Blood Dragon Lady was the blood coral’s master, that means she is using the Old Blood Dragon Lady drawing on my back to be reborn. The coral was never trying to claim my body at all,” Han Sen thought, trying to logic his way through what was happening.

Although Han Sen didn’t entirely understand the events occurring around him, he could sense that his guesses were getting near to the truth.

When the black scales on Han Sen’s body disappeared completely, the blood coral became the Old Blood Dragon Lady. Her body hung silently in the air, her eyes closed. She looked like a statue.

“Sacred sent the Old Blood Dragon Lady to help out the Very High. Now, everything is explained.” Han Sen’s body was free once more. He looked at the Old Blood Dragon Lady in the air, but he didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

The blood demon didn’t have Han Sen’s patience. It saw that the Old Blood Dragon Lady was hanging motionless in the air like a dead statue, and the blood demon’s flames exploded. The knife flew to attack the Old Blood Dragon Lady.

“Be careful!” Han Sen shouted. It didn’t seem the Old Blood Dragon Lady had woken up yet, and Han Sen was afraid for her. He channeled some of his power into the shout, trying to roust the Old Blood Dragon Lady.

He didn’t know if the Old Blood Dragon Lady was a friend or foe, but the blood demon was definitely an enemy. And as far as Han Sen was concerned, the enemy of his enemy was his friend. Right now, Han Sen hoped the Old Blood Dragon Lady wasn’t going to wind up dead before she had woken up.

The bloody knife light surged toward the Old Blood Dragon Lady, but her eyes remained closed. She didn’t react to the incoming storm of destructive power.

Han Sen knew how strong that knife was. Its attacks couldn’t even be blocked. If the Old Blood Dragon Lady was struck without even being aware of its coming, there was no telling whether or not she could withstand the blow.

At this time, the Old Blood Dragon Lady finally opened her eyes. Han Sen had never seen eyes like hers before. It was like stars were spinning around inside them. They held all the possibilities of a clear, open sky. Just looking into those eyes would be enough for most people to be conquered by their purity and greatness.

“Your eyes are my home for eternity.” Han Sen had heard romantic things like that said before, but he had never understood what people meant. Until now. Looking into the Old Blood Dragon Lady’s eyes, he understood.

The Old Blood Dragon Lady calmly looked on the blood demon. As the knife light landed, she raised her arm. Her fingers that looked like jade were pointed forward.

Boom!

A beam of light as thin as a pen shot out of her finger. The force of it destroyed the bloody knife light and the blood demon shadow, revealing the sharp knife’s real body.

The sharp knife was struck, and it whirled away like a windmill. It hit the field, digging a hole into the turf. God knew how deep that hole was.

“So strong.” Han Sen was shocked. The sharp knife was a strange xenogeneic. It was probably larva class, or perhaps even stronger. The Old Blood Dragon Lady had annihilated it with only her finger. Based on that alone, it would be difficult to comprehend how scarily powerful she was.

The sharp knife seemed to be quite resilient. Although the bloody flame shadow was destroyed, the blade itself hadn’t been injured.

Bzzt!

In the blink of an eye, the sharp blade shot out of that bottomless pit. The blood flame surrounding it had gotten scarier. It generated a blood demon shadow once more, which grabbed the sharp knife and slashed toward the Old Blood Dragon Lady.

The Old Blood Dragon Lady didn’t move. She raised her finger and destroyed the bloody flame shadow surrounding the sharp knife again.

The sharp knife generated bloody flames again and again, but the Old Blood Dragon Lady casually blew them all up. It made Han Sen’s blood boil.

“This is an example of true power. No wonder the Old Blood Dragon Lady forced one of those people who call themselves God to fall back. She is so strong.” Han Sen looked at the sharp knife that was still trying ceaselessly to reach the Old Blood Dragon Lady. Han Sen had to shout, “Big Sister Dragon Lady, please blow up that knife!”

Pang!

The sharp knife was struck by Old Blood Dragon Lady. The weapon flew a few hundred miles away, and a minute later, it was flying back. It was carrying its scary, bloody flames. The terror still hadn’t been stopped.

Han Sen was going to keep cheering the Old Blood Dragon Lady on, but the Old Blood Dragon Lady’s body froze. Suddenly, she fell from the sky. She landed close to Han Sen, looking like blood coral again.

Han Sen’s eyes opened wide. He had been about to shout his support, but now there was no point. He was looking at the blood demon face-to-face. The atmosphere was quiet and tense.
