In the evening, the leader's lounge of the Storm Mercenary Group in the City of Mercenaries.
An old man with gray hair and a calm face stood in front of the window, looking at Ziyue outside the window, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes. He was the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group, one of the largest mercenary groups in the Ziyue Kingdom. Lowe Sydney.
In the room, the lights swayed and the light and shadow flickered. Suddenly, from the shadows, a figure in black slowly emerged, appearing behind Marlowe Sydney.
Marlowe Sydney turned around without any surprise on his face and looked at the figure in black.
"What orders does the organization have?"
He looked at the figure in black and asked. The information revealed in his words was surprising. As the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group, one of the largest mercenary groups in the Purple Moon Kingdom, he was actually just a subordinate of a certain force. .
"Still the same order, kill Gray Fergus!"
The man in black said with a hoarse voice.
"This is a difficult task. With Gray Fergus's current strength, even if we join forces at the third level of the Wild Level, it will be difficult to kill him."
Marlowe Sydney frowned and said.
As the leader of the Storm Mercenary Group, his announced strength is at the barbaric level, but in fact, that is just an illusion.
His true strength is the third level of Desolate level, and he is the person in charge of a stronghold of the Flame Fang lurking in the Purple Moon Kingdom, and the Storm Mercenary Group is naturally one of the strongholds.
"The organization naturally knows this, so it asked me to bring something like this this time."
A spear appeared in the hand of the man in black. It was a red spear, and the color was so deep that it looked like it was soaked in blood.
The handle of the gun is spiral-shaped, with two strands of blood-colored metal twisted together, like two snakes twisted together.
The position of the gun head is like a snake's head with its mouth open and its fangs exposed. The sharpest tip of the gun is the fangs of the poisonous snake.
With the appearance of this gun, a terrifying and cold murderous intention emerged from this gun, making Marlowe Sydney's whole body tense up.
"Could this be... a silver-level magic weapon?"
Marlo Sydney was surprised when he felt the cold murderous intention on the gun.
"Yes, this is a silver-level magic weapon."
The man in black nodded hoarsely.
"I don't hesitate to use silver-level magic weapons for him. Is it worth taking such a big risk?"
Marlowe Sydney hesitated.
"His potential is far beyond your imagination, and the organization's attitude is to kill him at all costs..."
The man in black affirmed.
…
After hunting the fox-shaped blood beast, Gray had returned to Fergus Castle for several days.
Compared to the past, Fergus Castle today is extremely lively, with many nobles gathered because a wedding is being held in the castle. This is Ellis's wedding, to the daughter of a viscount in Sidney territory. .
Gray didn't have much fondness for this nominal brother. Of course, it wasn't to say he hated him, but more of a kind of indifference.
Since it was the other party's wedding, Gray still expressed his intention and gave the other party a bronze-level magic sword, of course, it was just the most ordinary kind.
Even so, it is of extremely high value and is the most expensive gift that Ellis has received.
Gray did not stay in the banquet hall for long. After just showing his face in the banquet hall, Gray had already left, passed through the secret passage of the castle, and appeared in a forest near the castle.
In the forest, there is an exquisite wooden house, which Gray built for the convenience of cultivation.
Because it became Gray's training ground, this forest has become a restricted area in Fergus's territory. People from the Fergus family patrol the outside. Except for people from the Fergus family, no one else is allowed to enter.
Barbara would come to clean the place every few days, and sometimes Gray and Barbara would also live in the wooden house here.
Standing in the clearing in the forest, Gray took out a bottle of flame potion. It had been more than a month since he last took the flame potion. It was time to take the flame potion again.
Today, he has five bottles of flame potion and ten bottles of purple moon potion in his hands for cultivation.
These ten bottles of Purple Moon Potion were sent by the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom not long ago. As for Sophia's suggestion of exchanging one bottle of Purple Moon Potion for a bottle of advanced self-healing potion, that was just a joke.
After drinking the medicine like a golden flame, a strong numbing feeling spread all over Gray's body, like a tide, surging through Gray's body wave after wave.
Originally, Gray was already at the bottleneck between the first level and the second level, but under this bottle of medicine, Gray could clearly feel that this bottleneck had been broken, and his physical fitness was horribly enhanced.
Every piece of flesh and blood, every bone, even every drop of blood, and even every hair is undergoing transformation and becoming stronger.
Traces of black substance were discharged from the pores on the body. They were impurities produced during the rapid transformation of body cells.
At the heart, the vortex built by the power of blood became even larger, like a real vortex, and in the center of the vortex, the power of blood slowly turned from mist to liquid.
When the power of blood is completely transformed into liquid, Gray reaches the king level.
The blood power of a king-level expert is the existence of liquid. Compared with ordinary blood power, this kind of blood power is more powerful and has a larger capacity per unit volume.
After a long time, the strong numbing feeling weakened, and Gray began to practice the blood method.
The first round of blood magic.
The first training form of the second round of blood method.
The second training form of the second blood method.
The third training form of the second round of blood method.
The fourth training form of the second round of blood method.
In one breath, Gray completed two rounds of blood magic practice, proving that his blood magic practice had indeed entered the third round, and that his realm had reached the second level of the desolate level.
After washing away the dirt on his body, Gray's blue-black wings stretched out from his back, soared into the sky, left the woods, and landed in a stone forest far away from Fergus Castle.
Whoosh!
Looking at a boulder weighing more than a hundred tons dozens of meters away, Gray appeared next to the boulder in the next moment.
The distance of tens of meters was reached in an instant. One can imagine how terrifying his speed was now.
He raised his fist to the boulder and punched it down.
Click!
Under Gray's punch, huge cracks spread from the place where Gray's fist hit, like several thick tree roots tangled together. In the end, this boulder weighing more than a hundred tons turned into Countless gravel.
Breaking a boulder weighing more than a hundred tons with one punch is an extremely terrifying level of power. If he were a barbarian blood warrior, he would definitely be smashed into pieces by Gray's punch.
"The speed and strength should be comparable to the third level of Huang level!"
Gray nodded with satisfaction. The bloodline of the Vajra King Beast was indeed extremely powerful. Although it was still at the second level of the Desolate Level, its power and speed were already comparable to the third level of the Desolate Level.
With such strength and speed, even if he does not count other blood beast abilities, he is now enough to compete with the existence of the second level of the wild level, or even exceed it.
"Next comes defense!"
The body became metal, and in front of Gray, Stannie Glinton appeared. The broken knife at his waist was unsheathed, turned into a flash of silver light, and slashed Gray on the body.
Bang!
Under the blow of Stannie Glinton's sword, Gray's clothes were shattered and his body flew backwards. One rock after another was smashed by him, and he finally stopped after being knocked out for more than a hundred meters.
Standing up and dusting off his body, Gray looked at the place on his body where Stannie Glinton's knife struck him.
On the metalized bronze skin, no trace of scars, not even the slightest scratch, could be seen.
The opponent's blow at the third level of the Desolate Level actually left no wounds at all. It is conceivable that after reaching the second level of the Desolate Level, his defense has improved to a terrifying level.
"Next is the blood beast ability!"
As Gray thought, a large amount of black mist gathered in front of Gray, turning into a huge rotating vortex, attacking forward.
Rock after rock shattered under the whirlpool of black mist, and a deep ravine dozens of meters wide appeared on the ground. It spread all the way forward, hundreds of meters away, before finally stopping.
The blow left a ravine hundreds of meters long. This was a terrifying blow, enough to make a third-level desolate blood warrior's hair stand on end, but Gray couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment on his face.
"Failed to reach the king level!"
Although the power of this attack was powerful enough to make it difficult to resist the third level of Huang, it did not reach the king level.
Having witnessed king-level battles and even commanded Stannie Glinton to fight against king-level blood beasts from a distance, Gray fully understood the power of king-level blood beasts. Although the power of the current black mist has skyrocketed, it has definitely not reached the king-level level. .
"Sure enough, it's because of the ice and fire abilities!"
Originally, with the increase in the three hybrid abilities, Gray, who had reached the second level of the wild level, had combat power comparable to that of the king level.
However, among the three hybrid bloodlines, the ice and fire bloodlines are only desolate level bloodlines. The desolate level ice bloodline and fire bloodline drag down the overall increase of the three hybrid abilities, resulting in the power of the three hybrid abilities not reaching the king level. .
Obviously, if you want the power of the three mixed combat powers to reach the king level, you must upgrade the levels of the flame bloodline and ice bloodline, and raise the levels of these two bloodlines to the king level.
"The blood of the fire-type king-level blood beast is easy to obtain, but the blood of the ice-type king-level blood beast is difficult to obtain!"
According to Gray's "affinity system" for the royal family of the Purple Moon Kingdom, the blood of the fire system is the blood of the Purple Flame Beast sequence, and the blood of the ice system is the blood of the Ice Soul Beast sequence.
The Purple Moon Kingdom has the blood method of the Purple Flame Beast sequence. It must have the blood of the king-level blood beast of the Purple Flame Beast sequence, but the blood of the king-level blood beast of the Ice Soul Beast sequence is hard to say.
Although the blood of other ice-type king-level blood beasts is also available, he obviously cannot offer to buy it from the royal family. After all, his "affinity physique" is compatible with the blood of the ice soul beast series.
"You can only find a solution from other places, or hunt it yourself?"
