Okay, magic power has increased again.
[Thunderlight] Knight Cecil.
A powerful opponent wearing pure white armor and a great sword.
With each sword, my flesh was strengthened, and as a result, I was able to make a difference in speed and strength.
Still, it was probably because of Norn and Valkyrie.
Blood armor was worn with the power of the Norn.
This guy didn't just turn into an armor that could use my blood to protect himself.
Instead of completely covering my body, I was free to manipulate it as it doubled in size.
It's like your body is getting bigger and you can use it not only as a defense but also as a muscle to exert power.
In short, it feels like we were strengthening our bodies.
Normally, my body would have been wounded just by fighting Cecil's sword, which is more powerful.
The power to greatly submerge the ground with a big sword strike was like [Meteor] 's destructive power.
To be caught by such a thing with a magic sword and turned back was supposed to be the same as the power that was hitting all my flesh.
Even though I caught it, I was still able to fight thanks to the blood armor that replaced my supple muscles.
That didn't mean my hands or arms hurt when I fought the sword.
The Blood Armor was supposed to take care of the wounds and pains I was supposed to suffer.
And as I told Ai before, it seems that humans are unconsciously suppressing their own power.
If you limit the power of your own flesh, that power will destroy your own flesh.
So, I suppressed my power unconsciously so that it wouldn't be like that, but it didn't recoil even with all my strength thanks to the Blood Armor.
Thanks to this, I was able to draw more strength from myself than I usually do.
Moreover, it was the same for the Valkyrie.
Or rather, the Valkyrie might have benefited more from the Blood Armor.
Originally, the Valkyrie was stronger than me.
Even though it was strong as a single unit, now a new Valkyrie was born from the eggs of the service beast in the New Vulcan City, and I was [sharing] magic power with them.
The Valkyrie used Shared magic to strengthen her flesh as well.
And the Valkyrie was also releasing the power that was normally suppressed unconsciously from the strengthened state of the body.
Thanks to this, I was able to have the speed and thrust to counter Cecil's speed.
Without the Valkyrie here, I would have been crushed with a giant sword, unable to keep up with that speed.
Valkyrie and Norn.
With both of them, I was able to beat Cecil.
And as a result, we were able to get Cecil's blood.
This is superior blood.
Apparently, Cecil's body had magic power as I expected, and it was self-reinforcing with either armor or a great sword.
Maybe you should have taken the blood right after you defeated him?
Perhaps the magic power gained from this equipment would disappear after a while.
Otherwise, you wouldn't want to fight me to strengthen me before you fight Ian.
Regardless, my total magic power was increased by sucking Cecil's blood.
Even so, isn't the rank still up?
The next [Recovery] that the bishop could use was supposed to be the [Purification] of the Archbishop, but it still didn't seem to work.
However, I could use Healing several times in a row, and my magic power would have increased a lot.
Previously, I was so close to losing my magic power by using Heal once, but it was no longer the case.
"Alphonse Barca defeated the [Lightning] Knight Cecil." Who's next? I'm the one who says, "Come on."
Having swallowed Cecil's blood and confirmed that his magic power had increased, I raised my voice even louder.
I wondered if anyone else would fight me.
If possible, I'd appreciate it if a strong man could apply for a duel one by one.
That way, I could attack your weak spots one by one and suck your blood.
But that didn't happen.
A quiet battlefield.
By the way, when Cecil and I faced each other, the surrounding soldiers stopped fighting?
Moreover, since I activated the fog of blood, both sides have completely stopped the movement.
"Kiku, retrieve Cecil's gear." Zen and Lord Hendrixen led the Orient and Purge armies into a sweep. Ian, it's your turn. Let's go. "
Looks like Cecil was definitely a very important part of Peria's army.
Well, there won't be many who can fight the Atmos warriors.
Though a mercenary, Cecil's presence must have been indispensable to the victory of Peria's forces in this battle.
If this continues, Peria's forces may surrender.
Listening to my voice, no one gave me a name, and I started to feel that way.
But it's a waste to end it here.
It's more efficient to collect blood from one of the powerful and boost their magic, but that doesn't mean there's a bad way to collect blood from a lot of humans.
There was no harm in collecting them as well as they could.
So I decided to fight a little more.
Before the opponent surrendered, I ordered my men to continue the battle.
Thus, against the Peria army, which lacked the spiritual pillar of Cecil, they continued their attack.
