It was like an endless chase, the two men rushed and fought like wolves, crossing the hills made of flesh and blood, cutting through layers of steel that were in the way, the blazing white fireworks burned wildly, and the figures were fleeting, like colliding meteors.
Ed's sword, with explosive fireworks, hit Lorenzo's body heavily in a swift movement, and then knocked him out like a bull.
He stayed where he was, his body changing strangely. Tattoos similar to Lorenzo's moved across the surface of his skin, and his muscles began to swell, becoming increasingly powerful.
"What are you waiting for? Demon Hunter, if you don't release the secret blood, I will kill you."
The burning spike sword pointed at Lorenzo, and Ed's expression was furious. It was as if he was being played. From beginning to end, Lorenzo did not show his true strength.
Lorenzo didn't say anything, but just stared at the tattoo on Ed's body, as if he saw something in it.
"You are... from Team Michael."
What a familiar organization. Lorenzo thought he was the only one who survived the Holy Night, but now it seems that is not the case.
"Did you recognize me? Are you afraid that I would recognize you and that's why you don't want to activate the secret blood?"
Ed tore off his collar, revealing the wandering tattoo completely. It looked like a tattoo, but in fact it was an alchemical inscription, an alchemy engraved based on the human body.
In order to perfectly control the secret blood and prevent it from eroding the demon hunter's will, every demon hunter's ritual of absorbing the secret blood includes an inscription alchemy. The demon hunter's body is the container that seals the secret blood, and the alchemists carve the inscriptions on the flesh and blood, reinforcing the seal like a holy prayer.
Lorenzo is not an alchemist, and there are probably not many alchemists in the world, but he is very familiar with these strange inscriptions. They will come alive when the secret blood is activated. The cult has also divided into different teams according to the different patterns engraved. Judging from Ed's inscription, he is a member of Michael.
"I just don't want to recall the past. After all, I have forgotten it for so long."
Lorenzo answered coldly, and swung his sword fiercely, forcing Ed to retreat a few points again.
Feeling the heaviness of the sword, Ed showed a ferocious smile. Lorenzo's secret blood was awakening, and it was not something he could control.
The secret blood comes from demons, and the strength of the secret blood is directly related to the strength of the mother demon. It can be said that the more powerful the demon hunter is, the more powerful the demon his secret blood comes from.
But the price of gaining power is heavy. After swallowing the secret blood, the demon's erosion will continue day and night. The demon will try to conquer the demon hunter's humanity. Many people cannot resist being completely eroded, so the demon hunter's body will become the best breeding ground. The powerful demons that once died will be resurrected in their bodies. Therefore, for safety reasons, every demon hunter is implanted with a silver-binding bolt.
Lorenzo has always refused to show the deeper depths of his secret blood, but the erosion brought by the secret blood itself will force him to activate it unconsciously. After all, the relationship between the secret blood and the demon hunter is like a deformed symbiotic relationship, it's just a matter of who occupies the dominant position.
