Chapter 13: Blood Bath Warrior, Blood Magic · Spirit Monster

[The champion-level spirit monster under your command successfully used the Warrior Job Transfer Certificate to advance to a hero unit, obtaining the rare profession: Blood Bath Warrior, officially renamed: Blood Magic · Spirit Monster]

When the Warrior Job Transfer Certificate entered the champion-level spirit monster, a white light enveloped it, and the expected prompt followed.

After the white light dispersed, the champion-level spirit monster had become the hero Blood Magic · Spirit Monster.

"Master, thank you for giving me a new life. However, it seems my strength has declined a bit," the Blood Magic spoke with a hint of confusion.

"It's normal. Your original strength was achieved through the backlash of magic consumption. If you lose the magic backlash, your strength will naturally decline. But it's okay; this is a good phenomenon. After all, your potential has now been unleashed, and you have higher potential."

Qin Muye observed the magical reactions inside the Blood Magic using the Magic Eye. The previously chaotic magic backlash had been eliminated, which was a positive sign.

He then checked the Blood Magic's attributes. Although it mentioned a decline in strength, it looked much more luxurious than Qin Muye in various aspects.

[Artifacts]

[Standard Longsword: +2 Attack Power]

[Bone Helmet: +1 Defense Power]

[Standard Armor: +2 Defense Power]

Four talents, two skills, plus one magic – quite remarkable. From the current perspective, it seemed like a hero focused on attack, especially with Blood Bath Struggle. The lower the health, the stronger the combat power. Combined with Bloodthirsty Sorcery and Magic God Arrow – one for group enhancement, the other for single-target attack.

Although the profession was labeled as a warrior, in the magical continent, it inevitably highlighted the magical aspect.

Looking at the attribute panel, Blood Magic had transformed all its skills during the spirit monster phase into actual strength. For example, the loyalty-taming skill had turned into Constant Loyalty after becoming a hero.

Both Magic Essence Constitution and Magic Wisdom changed from fixed values to growable numbers. Even the original blood attack exchange turned into percentages. In the early stages, it might be weaker, but as the level increased, it would become quite substantial.

The only unchanged aspect was probably Garden Luck.

"Master, from now on, I can lead the team independently. After becoming a hero, I have gained some of your innate abilities," Blood Magic spoke.

"Good, it's up to you now. With your luck, you'll surely obtain more resources than me." Qin Muye knew he could now retire to the background and earnestly study magic. Then, he could figure out ways to create more hero units.

He also understood why it was called "Lords' Epoch" – it allowed you to be a lord rather than charging into the fray.

The attributes of a hero unit could easily surpass those of a lord. However, Blood Magic might be more luxurious because it was a champion-level spirit and had a solid foundation, coupled with the rare profession.

Or it could be that Qin Muye's lord-playing style was different from other lords.

[You taught the Level 1 Source Magic: Magic Eye to Blood Magic · Spirit Monster]

[You learned Level 1 Fire Magic: Bloodthirsty Sorcery and Magic God Arrow from Blood Magic · Spirit Monster]

Unfortunately, magic learned through academic study couldn't be researched independently. It seemed more like a rule, and even the Bloodthirsty Sorcery's duration was only 10 minutes, unlike Blood Magic's 15 minutes. When the Magic Eye transferred to Blood Magic, its duration also increased from 10 to 15 minutes.

Obviously, this was due to the boost in strength. Qin Muye had 0 strength points, so the base duration was 10 minutes. On the other hand, Blood Magic had 5 strength points, granting it an extra five minutes.

Even Magic God Arrow showed the same pattern. Qin Muye could only deal 10 points, while Blood Magic could manage 60. The difference was quite significant.

Qin Muye was quite relieved that he hadn't triggered the 1% effect during the fight with the skeleton training ground, or even the champion-level spirit might not have been able to withstand an attack from a hero.

"Wait, did you gain any combat skills or training techniques?" Qin Muye suddenly remembered something. The "Berserker Training Manual" contained numerous techniques, including one called Bloodthirsty Fury.

Although Blood Bath Struggle seemed somewhat similar to Bloodthirsty Fury, the former had no side effects and was passive, while the latter was a technique and more like an active skill.

"Not really, Master. I feel that my strength has declined a bit, and I have acquired magic, skills, and Blood Bath Struggle, but I haven't gained any specific techniques," replied Blood Magic after becoming a hero, inheriting talents, skills, and magic as instincts, but not what Qin Muye mentioned.

Qin Muye glanced at the sky; it was the third night. Blood Magic was prepared to lead the spirits to hunt and gather resources under the cover of darkness. As a hero, it now had an inventory to store various resources.

"In that case, let's wait until tomorrow. I plan to teach you some techniques."

Qin Muye always felt that the academic skill wasn't merely about teaching magic. For example, it shouldn't be limited to transferring magic like this.

Currently, Blood Magic was a Blood Bath Warrior with talents, skills, and magic but lacked corresponding techniques and abilities.

He wanted to teach Blood Magic the techniques and abilities of the Bloodthirsty Fury from the Berserker Training Manual to verify the capabilities of academic skills.

"Yes, great Master. Please teach me," Blood Magic naturally wouldn't refuse. This was a great thing. In the eyes of the spirits, the Master was always the most knowledgeable and powerful, as reflected in the constant loyalty of 100.

Morale and loyalty – these two attributes were linked to units and heroes. If a tyrant-type lord appeared and didn't have enough strength to suppress, they might end up facing self-inflicted consequences.

"First, I'll teach you the first technique called Bloodthirsty Fury. Perhaps it can complement your Blood Bath Struggle talent and achieve a dual enhancement in attack power. Secondly, I'll teach you some professional skills that warriors should have. You lack these, especially since you became a hero through a job transfer certificate, not like the original inhabitants who relied on training and battles."
