The night over the Southern Ridge plains was utterly ignited by blood and fire.
Major guilds gathered, and the shouts of followers and hunters shattered the sky.
Residual Blood Maniac—Xu Zhu—stood at the center of the battlefield, staff in hand, blood streaming down his forehead, yet his back remained straight.
——
[System Prompt]:
Full-server battle royale mode officially activated.
Final Reward: Storm Will.
Description: Only the final, sole survivor may obtain it.
——
That prompt instantly set everyone ablaze with madness.
[Storm Will?!]
[Residual Blood Maniac has the core, the Storm Will must be tied to him!]
[Kill him! This is the only chance!]
[Protect him! Residual Blood Maniac is the future!]
The scene descended into chaos.
The line between following and hunting blurred in an instant. Some guilds even switched sides mid-battle, backstabbing one another just to seize the final qualification.
——
The Scarlet Flame Alliance master raised his hand and roared: "Residual Blood Maniac is the Storm's Child! Follow him, only then do we have a future!"
The Blackfeather Guildmaster sneered in reply: "Fool. As soon as he dies, the Storm Will will be ours, Blackfeather's!"
Thousands clashed, the battlefield a vision of hell.
——
Xu Zhu unfolded Residual Edge, death trajectories blazing in chaos before his eyes.
[Residual Edge Sync Rate: 95%]
[Danger: Extremity Approaches]
He suddenly stepped forward, staff sweeping wide, blasting three assassins aside!
Ling Xue's sword flashed like lightning, carving a blood path beside him.
Fatty Third howled, hurling stones, knocking down an archer about to ambush, then burst into tears himself: "Fatty is useful too! Don't underestimate Fatty aaahhh!"
The followers roared, voices shaking heaven: "Residual Blood Undying! Protect the Maniac!"
——
Just as the chaos reached its peak, the sky split open with a streak of golden light.
The Storm Core in Xu Zhu's palm resonated, bursting with a fierce pulse.
[System Prompt]:
Storm's Child exclusive trait—"Storm Will" awakened.
Effect: In near-death state, all followers gain +50% to all attributes for five minutes.
Side effect: Residual Edge sync rate increases by 5%.
——
Xu Zhu's chest tightened, Residual Edge's buzzing spiking sharply!
[Residual Edge Sync Rate: 99%]
His vision was dyed completely red, the scarlet trajectories devouring the battlefield.
Yet at the same time, he felt his followers' aura surge sky-high!
Their eyes burned with fervor, as if lit by his own will.
"Residual Blood Maniac! We'll follow you to the death!"
"As long as the Residual Blood Maniac stands, we will not fall!"
Hundreds of followers, empowered by Storm Will, held back the onslaught of thousands of hunters!
——
Leng Tian stared hard at Xu Zhu, his eyes colder than ever: "Residual Blood Maniac… not only does your residual blood not die, you can ignite your followers?!"
The Blackfeather Guildmaster's eyes went grim: "No… he must be killed now! Otherwise there will be no chance!"
Countless killing intents surged once more.
Xu Zhu's eyes blazed crimson, both hands gripping the staff, his voice a guttural roar:
"Come then… let one drop of residual blood carve through this storm!"
Boom!!!
He stepped into the sea of blood, truly bearing the stance of the Storm's Child, facing the hunt of the entire server head-on!
