A pitiful voice rose when the red-hot energy touched the naked body; after this, the smell of burnt skin should have come, but it didn't happen so. Alis went on the attack without a single mark on his upper torso.
"The flames of the owner of this world couldn't burn us, will wretches like you hurt me!"
Nora said the same words inside another formation too; while the intestines of the enemy she stuck her dagger into his stomach were falling to the ground, she turned her back and continued walking.
The first test should have finished and the second started; thanks to the immunity she gained from the Ice and Fire trial, she didn't care about fire attacks.
She wiped the blood on the daggers in her hand with her clothes; the sparkle of red blood flowers on the cutting part was seen much more clearly now.
"We are Holy Fire Sect Outer Court Disciples, who are you?"
Three people appeared in front of Nora in the second stage; two women and one man were waiting for her folding their arms on their chests.
"I am the person who will take your lives!"
The Blood God, getting into the zone, leaped at full speed; her three opponents drew their weapons at that moment and sent their attacks to her. Three fire energies in the shape of a star, sword, and spewing lava appeared in the air; Nora entered inside them without cutting speed.
"Fool, she ran to her death!"
The one speaking was the disciple wearing a short dress over her long boots; unlike others, these three seemed to have their own consciousness!
"That's one!"
Since she turned her head to her friends to speak, she couldn't see the dagger of the Blood God; the last image remaining in the eyes inside her head rolling on the ground was her friends looking forward with astonishment.
"This test business has dragged on too much, die!"
Nora didn't show mercy to the duo falling into astonishment in the face of her immunity to fire; she destroyed the male one from inside his thigh up to his lungs, and the other woman with two cross cuts she threw to her chest.
"Alis won't experience trouble in this test either, I wonder how Jashua is doing?"
While waiting for the third test, the Young Count fell into her mind; she wondered about the condition of the boy inside the separate formation.
Actually, there wasn't much to wonder about; Count Jashua, overcoming the first round using only his weapon, was using his blood abilities against three Holy Fire Sect Outer Court disciples.
"Damn it, this guy is at the essence shaping level!"
While the trio could only transfer fire energy to their weapons yet, the Young Count could organize attacks using the essences he collected independently from his weapon.
One of these was the technique Nora used in the arena in Parthenia to break the shield of the City Lord Astute of that time; Blood Rain. Of course, Count Jashua's technique wasn't as big as what she did using the blood lake formed with the help of people dying in the arena that day, but still, it had surrounded the trio in his target from every direction.
"Gather together!"
Instead of getting caught in this downpour separately, they wanted to stand back to back and resist, but this was the biggest mistake to be made while Count Jashua was across them.
The young boy hit his thick and long club with a grudge onto the enemy gathered as if for him; the sound of breaking bones mixed into the blood rain.
Then bloods poured down once more; drops descended like piercing thorns on the trio scattered around. Some parts of their bodies eroded so much that they were forced to separate from the main torso.
"The two have immunity to fire and ice, I can't remain behind them!"
Count Jashua was ambitious; actually, he had done what he said too. Alis and Nora were just coming face to face with the enemy at the third level.
"A bug from the Holy Blood is disturbing me, you are thirsting for death!"
Nora was looking into the eyes of the hulking man walking swinging his cape made of fire; her enemy had already drawn his broadsword.
"Cut the crap man!"
Daggers were shining with the energy they took from the patterns on them; a moment later their lengths started extending too. Nora had started pouring the blood essence she stored herself onto Mora's old weapon.
"Blood Flower Storm!"
Jumping into the air, the Blood God performed a downward cut together with her two daggers; all of the blood energy coming out of the weapons took the shape of blood flowers and were hurled towards the enemy.
"What a fancy attack but all will melt away in the face of my fire!"
He was right in his words; when he swung his sword he grasped with double hands from bottom to top, the formed flame wave swallowed and destroyed all flowers, but there was something he forgot. Nora had made the same attack three times in a row.
When he saw the second attack, the broad-shouldered man could eliminate it swinging his sword down with a last effort, but he was forced to eat the third one completely.
Tiny blood flowers started emitting smoke from places they fell on the matte black armor he wore; the same situation was valid for his exposed arms and face too.
The hulking man threw the armor on him immediately, but he couldn't prevent the damage occurring on his arms and face.
"Melting blood flowers, the techniques of you lowlifes are despicable too!"
He was hurting so much that his voice came out of his mouth strangled due to grinding his teeth. In the face of this situation, he went on the attack rapidly; as for Nora, she wanted to maintain distance by somersaulting backward twice.
"I want you to enjoy the blood flowers coming out of Abarran's weapon. How is it, can you feel them passing under your skin to your flesh?"
"Your only remedy is killing me, and my aim is to see how far the blood flowers can go. What do you say, which of us will die first?"
The hulking man had already sensed the blood energy starting to touch his flesh exceeding his skin from his arms and face; he was trying to burn them circulating his own fire energy inside his body, but they were so many that he wasn't sure he could save himself in time.
"Promise I won't attack you, come on with whatever you have!"
The warrior belonging to the Holy Fire was in a dilemma; either he would spend all his energy to burn the blood energy leaking into his body or kill the enemy and ensure the energy remaining ownerless was wiped away.
The man chose the second option; raising his weapon, whose length extended a few times with energy baptism, with his two hands, he started running onto the enemy. Nora stopped where she was; she was maintaining her calmness despite the enemy coming onto her with full speed.
When five steps remained, the man leaped into the air; he swung his weapon burning with red-hot flame energy towards Nora's head. He would hit not only with energy but with the weapon itself too; Nora possessed immunity against fire, but the weapon itself was another matter.
When the last two meters remained, the man's eyes shone; his enemy hadn't organized an attack against him just as she said, victory was close but two words rang in his ears at the last moment.
"Blood Dome!"
When the terrifying fire energy hit the blood-red dome, flames spreading from a single point surrounded the entire dome. The man retreating one or two steps started waiting to see the result; he was watching the fire in front of him with excitement.
Although thirty breaths passed, the flames didn't go out; blood flowers leaking into his body had already started eroding his flesh. That he was in pain was obvious from the shape his face took, but these hadn't upset him as much as the voice he would hear a moment later.
"Is this all you can do?"
The hulking man collapsed on his knees.
"No, it can't be!"
Together with the answer he received, the voice coming from inside the Blood Dome spoke once more.
"I told you I wouldn't make an attack, not that I wouldn't make a defense. If you break the Blood Dome you live, otherwise we both know what will happen right?"
The member of the Holy Fire couldn't get up from his place because blood flowers had finished the flesh and started eroding the bone; he could only moan with pain.
"Please kill me, I beg you kill me!"
