-997- The third and fourth

"Boom!"

The white chain slashed through the air, striking heavily towards Balthazar Zaharias, making the muffled sound resound loudly.

However, this muffled sound was not caused by the chain hitting Balthazar Zaharias but by the chain being fiercely repelled.

Just as the white chain was about to fall on Balthazar Zaharias, it was astonishingly flung back at an incredible speed, swinging back towards Rozen.

"Buzz!"

An spatial ripple immediately unfolded in front of Rozen, reclaiming the white chain, preventing it from reaching Rozen.

Rozen stared fixedly at Balthazar Zaharias.

There...

"Oh my, didn't expect to be exposed in a place like this."

Balthazar Zaharias stood there, the surprise and change on his face completely disappeared, returning to the playful look he had at the beginning.

And in front of such a Balthazar Zaharias, there was a barrier.

It was a transparent and beautiful barrier formed by the crystallization of gems.

Just now, Rozen's attack landed on this barrier and was bounced back.

Seeing this barrier, Rozen didn't express any surprise.

"Sure enough, you still had a trick up your sleeve, arms dealer."

At the words, Balthazar Zaharias raised an eyebrow.

"Did you already figure it out?"

Balthazar Zaharias asked modestly.

"What do you think?"

Rozen still wore the same ambiguous smile.

"When did you figure it out?"

Balthazar Zaharias continued to ask with interest.

"Of course, from the very beginning."

Rozen smirked.

Upon seeing Balthazar Zaharias, Rozen had already discovered through his Spirit Vision that there was a slight anomaly in the spiritual energy emanating from him, and the flow of magic within him was also peculiar.

Because the magic power within Balthazar Zaharias originated from a part of his body, running through there.

That part was—his ribs.

Balthazar Zaharias's magic power operated around his ribs.

This was a condition that would never appear in others.

Then, Rozen also discovered through his Mind's Eye ability that Balthazar Zaharias's ribs did not belong to him entirely; they seemed incongruous with various parts of his body.

Moreover, from those ribs, besides magic power, flowed a huge amount of power, which had transformed Balthazar Zaharias's body. Rozen recognized only one situation like this.

—Blood Servant.

It was when vampires endowed a part of their own flesh to others, creating a pseudo-vampire.

Various legends also mentioned that those bitten by vampires would be infected by them, reborn as new vampires in the world, right?

Reality wasn't that exaggerated, just casually sucking blood could create one's own kindred.

But vampires indeed had such ability.

As long as they injected their own blood into the blood-sucking object during bloodsucking, or through multiple unrestrained bloodsucking, the vampire could possibly turn the other party into a human almost close to a demon, a pseudo-vampire, becoming a faithful subordinate or companion serving oneself.

This was the Blood Servant, inheriting the curse of the vampire's blood, becoming an immortal existence, obedient to the master's orders.

However, the power of the Blood Servant created through the bestowal of blood was limited.

Therefore, to create a more powerful Blood Servant, sometimes, vampires would endow a part of their own body to the other party.

This part of the body cannot regenerate, so even immortal vampires cannot easily create such Blood Servants.

However, once a Blood Servant is created in this way, the servant will inherit the master's abilities profoundly, depending on the compatibility with the master. Its strength may even surpass that of the vampire who is the source of infection.

Among the body parts bestowed upon the servant, the ribs are undoubtedly the most top-notch.

After all, the ribs contain hematopoietic tissue, and the source of a vampire's power is blood. If a vampire's ribs are obtained, it will undoubtedly become the most outstanding Blood Servant, capable of even controlling and commanding the vassals used by the master.

Balthazar Zaharias is indeed a Blood Servant, obtaining ribs from the vampire who is his master, becoming a human almost close to a demon, a pseudo-vampire.

At this moment, the power Balthazar Zaharias is using originates from the vassals of the vampire who is his master.

If Rozen's guess is correct...

"You must have usurped the ribs of one of the fourth Primogenitor's bodies, thus becoming a Blood Servant of the Primogenitor."

Rozen revealed the truth.

"The vassal you are currently using is one of the twelve vassals of the fourth Primogenitor."

What does this imply?

It implies...

"You still have the third Kaleid Blood, right?"

Rozen pointed this out.

In other words, besides carrying two bodies of Kaleid Blood, Balthazar Zaharias himself has also usurped the ribs of the third Kaleid Blood's body, becoming a Blood Servant of Kaleid Blood, becoming a pseudo-vampire, and gaining immense power, commanding one of the vassals of the fourth Primogenitor.

In terms of threat alone, this arms dealer is not inferior to No. 2 or No. 9, and may even be more dangerous. That's why Rozen didn't come after this arms dealer from the beginning.

"To obtain four bodies of Kaleid Blood, it seems you've put in a lot of effort."

Rozen squinted.

Regarding this...

"Four bodies?" Balthazar Zaharias chuckled and said, "No, not four, but five."

"Five?" Rozen was startled at first, then his expression turned serious.

If that's the case...

"Where is the fourth one?"

This point didn't even need to be thought about.

Since Balthazar Zaharias wants to obtain the Holy Spear of the Caruana family, it proves that he, like Veldiana, wants to use the power of the Holy Spear to break the seal of No. 12.

And No. 12 is on this Itogami Island.

In this case, where the fourth Kaleid Blood went, is there even a need to guess?

"You sent the fourth Kaleid Blood to seize No. 12?"

Rozen saw through this.

"That's right."

Balthazar Zaharias admitted straightforwardly.

Therefore...

"Please let me resolve you quickly, so I can continue to find the Holy Spear, and unseal the fifth Kaleid Blood that is about to come."

Balthazar Zaharias made an affected smile, and finally, an astonishing magical power surged from him, like burning flames, soaring into the sky.

"Come forth!"

Balthazar Zaharias opened his hands.

"The first Beast vassal—Mesarthim Adamas!"

As his words fell, a dazzling light radiated from the crystalline barrier in front of Balthazar Zaharias.

In the light, the third beast vassal of the fourth Primogenitor appeared.

It was a creature with a body like a diamond, transparent and beautiful, emitting a sacred and beautiful atmosphere, with a pair of majestic horns—a large ram.

The diamond ram stood upright like a bull-headed giant, towering with a towering body, and the astonishing magical fluctuations made the earth tremble like thunder, and the dense atmosphere also became heavy.

"This is... the third...!"

Feeling the terrifying magical power, Rozen couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Eradicate him."

Balthazar Zaharias ordered leisurely, letting the diamond ram lower its head, look at Rozen, and its eyes flashed red.
