269: Chapter 269 The Bloodline Main Line Emerges! Sacrifice! The Scales of Blood Reappear!

Outside Gino City.

Rowan hovered in the air, looking at the figure inside the Prison of Silence.

Mason's Battle Aspect had completely collapsed.

The Blazing Unicorn turned into countless tiny golden motes of light and dissipated into the air.

His entire body was covered in scars eroded by the power of annihilation, and his aura was weak to the extreme.

Rowan looked at him thoughtfully.

Under the perception of the Vampire Prince, the blood energy content within Mason was practically off the charts, far exceeding that of a Sky Knight who had ascended normally, like Duke Witton.

He had basically consumed all the blood energy accumulated by the Seal of Andalas Strife over these past few days.

This allowed him to become a powerhouse within the Sky Knight realm the moment he entered it; no wonder his self-confidence was so inflated that he dared to confront him head-on.

As for the pleas for mercy, Rowan simply acted as if he hadn't heard them.

Spare him?

What a joke.

He was still waiting for the ingredients for his pot.

He thought to himself, this guy was quite humorous.

Then, he shifted his gaze away from the cage and cast it toward the battlefield below.

The battle had long since ended.

The vast majority of the army brought by Duke Witton had turned into dried corpses.

And the few surviving soldiers had now dropped their weapons, crouching on the ground with their hands behind their heads in surrender.

As for Wizard Hurley.

This guy had completely lost the ability to resist.

But as the host of the Red Moon Replacement Ritual just now, he still had a considerable amount of blood energy remaining on him, which shouldn't be wasted.

Rowan flew down, grabbed Wizard Hurley as well, and casually tossed him into the Prison of Silence, locking him up with Mason.

Seeing that Rowan had completely ignored his pleas for mercy, a flash of anger crossed Mason's eyes.

As the dignified Second Prince of the Imperial Royal Family, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?!

But he opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

Seeing this, Rowan raised his hand and waved it, knocking both of them unconscious to avoid any complications.

Then, carrying the Prison of Silence with the two of them inside, he flew back to the top of the city wall.

Everyone on the city wall looked over.

Their eyes still carried the aftershocks of shock!

No one had expected that the City Lord was actually a Sky Knight! And he had even defeated Duke Witton!

This was a Sky Knight!

Rowan scanned the area, smiled, and then looked at the crowd gathering around, saying:

"Vanessa, you are responsible for the aftermath; arrange for people to clean up the battlefield as soon as possible."

"Commander Miles, Portia, you two assist Vanessa. I need to handle some follow-up matters, so I will leave first."

"Yes, my Lord!" the three replied in unison.

Rowan nodded, said nothing more, and flew directly toward the Wizard Tower in the city.

...

On the top terrace of the Wizard Tower, Aurora was standing there, staring dumbfounded as Rowan flew over.

Her cheeks were flushed red, and her beautiful eyes were filled with unbelievable excitement and shock.

Although she had full confidence in her Lord, she had never imagined that this guy Rowan would be this fierce!

First he defeated Duke Witton, then captured Mason alive after he broke through to a Sky Knight, and even casually beat a 7th-Ring Wizard to within an inch of his life.

If this battle record were to spread...

Rowan landed on the terrace and nodded slightly toward Aurora.

Aurora immediately reacted, nodded forcefully as well, then turned around and quickly led Rowan into the interior of the Wizard Tower.

The two walked through several corridors and arrived at the spacious top-floor hall.

The ceiling of the hall was a semi-circular transparent light shield, and on the floor, a huge magic array composed of countless blood-colored runes was drawn.

Aurora looked at Rowan.

Rowan looked at the two unconscious people in the cage, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"These two people, should be enough, right?"

Aurora walked to the side of the magic array, sensed the powerful blood energy within the two, and although she was a bit uncertain, she still nodded and said:

"The energy is very sufficient, it should be about enough, enough to trigger that blood origin main vein."

"That's good." Rowan nodded.

Seeing this, Aurora did not hesitate, formed a spell seal with both hands, and activated the magic array on the ground.

Hum—!

The blood-colored runes in the center of the magic array began to rotate, emitting a faint red light.

At this moment, Aurora looked at Rowan, signaling to throw the two into the magic array.

Rowan did not hesitate and directly threw the unconscious Mason and Wizard Hurley into the center of the magic array.

In an instant—

Hum—!

The two directly turned into blood mist, dead beyond dead.

A bloody light shot into the sky!

Subsequently—

A thick, blood-colored pillar of light rose from the magic array, clearly visible throughout the entire Gino City.

Aurora closed her eyes and sensed for a moment, then a sweet smile appeared on her face as she said:

"My Lord, it works, it is enough!"

"I am going to start summoning the blood origin main vein!"

"Hmm." Rowan nodded and stepped back a few paces.

He looked at the pillar of blood rising into the sky from the center of the magic array, a deep look flashing in his eyes.

Finally reaching this step.

...

As the blood-colored pillar of light rising from the magic array became brighter and brighter, a scent of blood, as if from the deepest depths of the earth, began to permeate the air.

Aurora stood beside the magic array, her hands constantly changing spell seals, with fine beads of sweat seeping from her forehead.

At this same time, her lips moved, chanting a long and obscure incantation.

The ground began to shake.

At first, it was just a slight tremor, like the sound of horse hooves coming from afar.

But soon it became more and more violent, as if some behemoth was waking up, turning over, and climbing upward from deep underground.

On the walls around the Wizard Tower, dust began to fall with a rustling sound.

Rowan watched this scene before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Suddenly, Aurora opened her eyes and said with pleasant surprise:

"It's here!"

Boom—!

An even more Blazing blood-red pillar of light burst out from the deep underground directly beneath the Wizard Tower.

That pillar of light contained a life aura that seemed to be the origin of the world.

Primitive, violent, pure...

The blood origin main vein, emerges!

It merged directly with the original blood light in the magic array, growing even stronger, shooting straight into the clouds!

The entire Gino City was illuminated by this blood light.

The residents of the city raised their heads one after another, looking at the blood-red pillar of light that pierced heaven and earth.

Some were terrified, some were awestruck, some knelt to pray, and some were stunned into silence...

Rowan stood not far from the pillar of light, feeling the surging, tide-like blood energy rushing toward him, his expression calm.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

He did not hesitate and directly activated the sacrificial method he had prepared in advance.

He was going to use the blood energy of Mason and Wizard Hurley, as well as this newly emerged blood origin main vein, to sacrifice everything to that balance of blood!

Hum—!

The sky above Gino City suddenly darkened for an instant.

The phantom of the balance of blood appeared again!

Then, Rowan heard a whisper, the general meaning of which was—

"Favored one... what do you need... to replace?"
