Blade Release: Blood (Elementary)
Skill Type: Active/Passive (Coexisting)
Release Incantation: Curse, Bloodthirst Black Wrath!
Skill Effect 1: Imperial Martial Saint: Sanguinius possesses exquisite martial arts skills, unmatched as the Martial Saint of the Empire.
He has extremely high proficiency in swords, halberds, spears, and other weapons. Regardless of the host's previous grasp and familiarity with them, he will inherit 10% of Sanguinius's martial arts on that basis, while also gaining a 30% increase in willpower resistance.
Note: This skill effect is not affected by the host's status and can take effect in any level simulation.
Skill Effect 2: Blood Rage: Melee weapon destructive power increases by 120%, hit rate increases by 80%.
Note: Similar to Skill Effect 1, this effect will not be affected by reality and will take effect in all level simulations.
Skill Effect 3: Eternal Blood: All attributes +10 (permanent effect), HP recovery +200 points per second (permanent).
Note: This is a one-time blood transfusion effect, effective three times.
Skill Effect 4: Blood Sacrament: Affinity and sensitivity to blood increase by 100%. Drinking a large amount of fresh blood can increase recovery effect (maximum increase of 100%), reduce fatigue, increase excitement. In an excited state, visual reflex nerves +50%.
Skill Effect 5: Saint Blood Blade: This skill can be used to bind one, and only one, initial weapon. Once bound, it will be transformed by the power of Saint Blood into an exclusive upgradeable weapon.
Note: Once bound, it is bound for life and cannot be unbound. The Saint Blood Blade is bound to destiny.
Skill Effect 6: The Great Angel's Benevolence: Psyker mana cap +2000 (permanent).
[1617+2000 = 3617 points]
Note (Teasing): Child, why is your Psyker so weak?
Synopsis: Bearing the blood of The Great Angel and carrying the evil of the angel is the mission of Sanguinius's descendants. How is this not a kind of fate and curse.
Because the power of Sanguinius's bloodline is too strong, the system needs to split it into two skills to distribute it. Otherwise, Kenmyo's body would not be able to withstand the effects of both skills generated simultaneously. Activating one first provides a buffer, and then activating the other will have no side effects.
One of them is [Blade Release] with a two-stage effect, and the other is [The Great Angel's Blessing].
[The Great Angel's Blessing]
Skill Type: Passive
Skill Effect: If subsequent fatal damage that could reduce HP to 0 (execution effects and near-death damage from being cut in half) is suffered, The Great Angel's Blessing will automatically trigger.
It absorbs and grants immunity to the damage caused by this attack, and calculates 60% of that attack's damage and its accompanying effects into the host's next attack.
Skill Cooldown: 20 days
Synopsis: I will not allow my descendants to share my fate.
Sanguinius
All of the above are descriptions of passive effects.
Under the blessing of the blood of saint giles, the Kamo Family bloodline within Kenmyo was even activated, breaking through the shackles of a certain curse, and at the same time allowing the compatibility of their respective attributes to be high enough to merge.
In other words, the current Kenmyo can now use Blood Manipulation, a technique of the Kamo Family among The Big Three Families of Jujutsu Sorcerer, which can rival the Ten Shadows Technique and Limitless.
The Kamo Family's inherited technique [Blood Manipulation]: The essence of Blood Manipulation is to manipulate one's own blood to fight.
Although Kenmyo previously lacked the talent for Blood Manipulation, he felt that these guys truly took the wrong path.
Blood Manipulation was turned into a self-harming technique. Kenmyo also admired the recent ancestors of the Kamo Family. The Zenin Family has the Ten Shadows Technique, the Gojo Family has Limitless, none of them have as many restrictions as the Kamo Family.
Before a battle, Jujutsu Sorcerer who master Blood Manipulation must first bleed themselves.
So the 'clever' Kamo Family Jujutsu Sorcerer would often cut themselves a few times to bleed when they were idle, to use in battle later. Moreover, spoiled blood cannot be used for Blood Manipulation.
However, these problems do not exist for Kenmyo, because he has Praise of Life, which restores life status, including blood volume.
And the generous godfather not only restored Kenmyo's strength but also bestowed upon him the deadly skill Shadow of Death.
The skill Shadow of Death, combined with Blood Manipulation, is simply a perfect match; there is no more suitable combination than this.
Effects of [Shadow of Death]
Skill Effect: After activating (Shadow of Death), each attack (melee, Psyker spells, Sorcery) will carry a special effect, ignoring enemy armor, and reducing the effect of life recovery skills by 80%.
Special Effect 2: Maggots of Bone: Attacks and skills imbued with (Shadow of Death) will carry a potent poison, dealing 0-150 magic damage per second for 8 seconds, and applying 1 stack of a mark. The enemy will endure intense pain from the terrifying poison.
Effect 3: Maggots of Bone can stack up to three layers. After one layer is fully stacked, the host can consume 100 mana to directly detonate the mark, clearing all poison damage at once. (Detonating three stacked marks at once requires consuming 300 mana).
With the perfect skill combination, Kenmyo recalled an anime he had watched called 'Pluto', in which the Gold Saint Albafica of Pisces left a very deep impression on him.
Blood Manipulation can allow Kenmyo to achieve the same effect as Albafica's ultimate move, 'Crimson Thorn,' transforming his blood from a misty state into invisible needle-like attacks.
Shadow of Death, on the other hand, will imbue ordinary blood under Blood Manipulation with a toxic-like effect, boasting astonishing penetrative power that prevents conventional frontal defense.
At the same time, the attack judgment triggered within the blood mist is particularly terrifying. Kenmyo tested that three milliliters of blood can generate seventy invisible blood needles.
The strong physique of Jujutsu Sorcerer allows their maximum blood loss to be about twice that of ordinary people. While ordinary people face life-threatening danger at 1500 milliliters, Jujutsu Sorcerer can lose up to 3000 milliliters (for a 60kg person).
The calculation of Shadow of Death is particularly simple; as long as the enemy is hit and stacked three times, the maximum damage explosion will be triggered.
Even three milliliters of blood can cause 23 explosions. Unless one can lock their HP and isolate themselves from space (open a Domain), it's truly unknown how many milliliters of Kenmyo's blood an enemy can withstand. (Kenmyo is 186 cm tall, weighs 80 kg, and has approximately 6400 milliliters of blood.)
With this move alone, Kenmyo can wear down and kill all Cursed Spirits or Jujutsu Sorcerer who cannot open a Domain; the repeated passive explosions from Shadow of Death stacks will be enough to give them a hard time.
Regarding sustainability, the blood of saint giles also generously granted Kenmyo 2000 mana points at once, a benefit of the Saint Blood body's modification.
Sanguinius himself was actually a Psyker with powerful Psyker abilities, but he listened to his father, the Emperor, and refrained from using such forbidden power.
Therefore, he rarely developed his Psyker to the extreme like his brother, Magnus, the Lord of the Thousand Sons Legion. Otherwise, Kenmyo believes Sanguinius could at least solo four Khorne Greater Daemons.
Kenmyo, after consuming the blood of saint giles, inherited Sanguinius's Psyker affinity, meaning he can use Psyker more freely and in less rigid forms, allowing for greater creativity.
Kenmyo needed to find a place to test the destructive power of his skills, but he felt that his current destructive power had reached a terrifying level.
It might no longer be something that the Japanese Government's high-ranking officials could easily conceal by using liquefied gas pipeline explosions as an excuse.
What made him suddenly so confident, so inflated?
The answer is? The confidence brought by Blade Release.
So, is there a place where Kenmyo can test his combat power at full throttle, without any restraint or concern?
Yes! And it's something he obtained a long time ago.
Opening the system's backpack, a small box sealed with Psyker chains appeared in Kenmyo's hand. His finger touched the Psyker chains, and they automatically broke apart.
He opened the lid, revealing a long-sealed item.
Kenmyo held it in his hand, carefully examining it and feeling the cold aura emanating from it, a hint of nostalgia appearing on his face.
"You, you still look so creepy."
It was a dirty cloth head with two black eyes filled with deep resentment, and a wide, stitched-up red mouth that made it seem as if it would come alive at any second.
It was the teru teru bozu from before, a special key-type equipment.
Kenmyo was there, where he completed the initial accumulation of capital.
Do you wish to enter [Zhong Sheng Temple]?
Kenmyo did not hesitate and immediately chose "Yes."
The next second, Kenmyo's vision plunged into darkness.
When he opened his eyes again, Kenmyo found himself standing in a pitch-black forest.
[You have entered Zhong Sheng Temple.]
The blood-red exclamation mark had disappeared.
It was still a world without sunlight, where continuous night and heavy rain were the main theme.
Rain lashed against Kenmyo's face. He could have used Psyker to form a shield to block all the heavy rain, but he let the cold rainwater beat against his face.
"I'm back."
Kenmyo could smell the rich moisture in the air, and the scent of burning decay. In the distance was the place he had once bombed with steel pipes when he was poor, a masterpiece from his previous timeline. Countless Villager vengeful spirits wailed from within the city walls, engulfed by flames.
He remembered dying here nearly forty-eight times, and it was here that he gleefully threw a burning gas canister inside.
Alas, so much time had passed in a flash, even the system prompt had changed from the initial
[Warning: You have entered the high-risk area "Zhong Sheng Temple" outskirts!!!]
to the current [Ding! Due to a significant increase in the host's strength, the difficulty of the Zhong Sheng Temple outskirts has been lowered to - Low.]
After experiencing one D-rank simulation and one C-rank simulation, Kenmyo felt that perhaps this was what 'returning home in glory' meant. His former difficulties were nothing in front of him now.
Kenmyo stood still, seemingly waiting for something.
Only three short minutes passed when suddenly, a second, almost imperceptible splashing sound appeared behind Kenmyo. He didn't even turn his head, merely stating calmly,
"Monk, if I were you, I would definitely not come over."
Through Psyker, Kenmyo could clearly sense a second figure appearing in the pouring rain besides himself. That person wore a bamboo woven rain hat, obscuring his face, and was clad in a blue monk's robe, standing in the rain less than ten meters from Kenmyo.
When his hidden presence was called out by Kenmyo, the monk simply approached at an even faster pace.
"Didn't I tell you not to move!"
Kenmyo turned his head, his azure eyes glaring at the vengeful monk who was now only three meters away from him.
With just one glance, a loud 'boom' echoed, and an invisible, cylindrical object composed entirely of telekinesis slammed the vengeful monk firmly into the ground.
The immense force prevented him from even lifting his head. The ground itself caved in by over a meter, and the accumulated rainwater on the ground was stained red by the vengeful monk's blood, which burst forth under the pressure.
The sound of breaking bones echoed.
"Oh, my."
A broadcast appeared before Kenmyo's eyes.
[You have defeated an elite unit of Zhong Sheng Temple, Vengeful Monk.]
[points + 8900 points.]
"Sorry, I couldn't control my strength for a moment."
The unit he once couldn't defeat was easily destroyed in his hands. Kenmyo's face showed a hint of helplessness. He originally wanted to test the power of [Crimson Thorn], but he didn't expect this thing couldn't even withstand his telekinesis.
As for the secrets behind this place, with Kenmyo's current strength, there was no need to know. It was time to test his ultimate move.
The power bestowed by the blood of saint giles mutated with Kenmyo's essence, forming the Blade Release skill.
[You have deducted 2000 mana points]
Kenmyo's eyes changed from red to pure black. His back muscles trembled incessantly, and with a tearing sound, a pair of huge, pitch-black wings directly extended from his back.
His teeth became sharp, and his entire aura changed instantly.
"Hoo." A powerful gust of air directly blew away all the rainwater on the surface within a hundred meters, scattering it all into the sky.
It was Kenmyo. With a flap of his wings, he flew up to an altitude of 1200 meters. Above him, thunder rolled in the inky black clouds, and the fierce wind howled in his ears.
A katana appeared in Kenmyo's hand. He held the blade horizontally in front of him.
His left hand gripped the hilt, and his right hand began to grasp the tip of the blade.
This was the ritual; as long as the release incantation was spoken.
Then the power of Saint Blood residing in the blade would be fully unleashed.
Kenmyo lowered his head and closed his eyes. He slowly spoke,
"Curse!"
Then, his hand moved to grip the blade with his right hand, beginning to slide it along the edge.
His palm was cut open without surprise, and a continuous stream of fresh blood dripped down the blade.
"Bloodthirst Black Wrath!"
The blood on the blade did not fall to the ground but gathered directly at Kenmyo's feet, forming a pool of blood.
With this as the center, extending for thousands of meters, suddenly dozens, then thousands of tons of fresh blood surged from the center, essentially enveloping the entire outer sky in a crimson ocean.
Countless scarlet blood pillars, about four meters wide, leaped down from the sky like beams of light, covering the entire world, including Zhong Sheng Temple. And terrifyingly, all objects they touched, whether trees or the ground, melted into blood.
The temple of Zhong Sheng Temple was also corroded by the sea of blood, revealing a giant golden Buddha statue, but it too was stained crimson and seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
The sea of blood was like a prison.
Yet, such a grand display was merely Kenmyo's domain's initial erosion of this world; it was far from its true effect.
"From the very beginning, no one stood in the heavens."
"But, this intolerable vacancy on the throne of heaven has finally ended."
Kenmyo raised his hand and smoothed it over his head, his eyes sharply looking down at the world completely covered by the crimson ocean.
He said coldly,
"From today, I alone shall stand in the heavens."
Actual 5000 words. I've always wanted to know how the Kamo Family's Blood Manipulation is worthy of being on par with the Ten Shadows Technique and Limitless. Does it really deserve it?
