CHAPTER 670: CHAPTER 410: DEATH GOD’S DEPUTY SCYTHE

[Death God’s Deputy]

[Item Level: SS-level]

[Specifications: Scythe form, length 145 cm, blade width 10 cm, weight 3.2 kg]

[Attribute: Attack Power 650 (Special Effect Bonus)]

[Special Effects: Bloodthirsty Frenzy Attack LV4, Blood Replenishment LV4]

[Divine Attribute Skill 1: Sacrifice Blood]

[Bloodthirsty Frenzy Attack LV4: Each attack that hits an enemy absorbs the target’s blood, converting it into weapon attack power, each stack of bloodthirst increases attack power by 20 points, maximum of 10 stacks. If not supplied with blood for a long time, the converted attack power will continue to decrease.]

[Blood Replenishment LV4: The Blood Scythe absorbs the target’s blood and replenishes the user, continuously restoring Qi-Blood.]

[Sacrifice Blood: Sacrifice one’s own blood to become the scythe’s master, obtaining the Fourth Transition Rank "Death God’s Deputy", mastering the class ability "Soul Harvest".]

[Evaluation: This blood scythe, forged through ancient mysterious rituals and unknown dark powers, is the extension of Death God’s will on earth. It not only causes physical damage but also possesses the supreme power to harvest souls and control the undead.]

[Every blood sacrifice deepens the pact with Death, making the user the deputy of Death on earth.]

Lu Heng had read the data about the Blood Scythe more than once.

Judging from its attributes, this scythe is indeed very strong, evident from its level alone.

This is the highest level weapon obtained so far.

According to the weapon’s displayed data, it provides a Fourth Transition Rank, which is very special.

Moreover, this rank is not fixed on one person. Even if someone has already sacrificed blood to gain the "Death God’s Deputy" rank, you can seize it by taking the scythe and sacrificing your blood.

However, it requires sacrificing more than 30% of one’s blood, and during the sacrifice, external blood cannot be obtained, or else the mixed blood will cause the contract binding to fail.

This means the sacrifice process is very dangerous.

An ordinary person losing more than 20% of blood poses a life risk. Superpower Users are resilient, but losing over 30% is also dangerous.

Even if a High Rank Superpower User can endure it, they would lose combat power temporarily due to blood loss.

Thus, to obtain this rank, one must retreat to a safe environment to proceed.

...

After purifying the Abyss Pollution Source beneath Xiling City’s seal, Lu Heng’s team and the Elf Clan team returned to Kolos City.

Queen Orelana and Terres held a return to nature ceremony for Commander Santos, allowing this sage who sacrificed for the Elf Clan to find peace.

After witnessing the ceremony, Lu Heng’s team of four returned to their temporary residence to discuss the next task plan.

"The first thing we need to consider now is whether to sacrifice blood to obtain the ’Death God’s Deputy’ rank."

The four team members took turns reviewing the Blood Scythe’s attributes; just looking at the attributes made all of them covet it.

After all, it’s an SS-level weapon that comes with a Fourth Transition Rank; this scythe is arguably the strongest divine weapon available at this stage.

"The amount of blood required for the sacrifice is a lot. It’s dangerous, right?" Lin Zeyu had heard of the scythe’s large blood absorption before.

Lu Heng nodded: "Yes, there’s a certain danger. At this level of blood absorption, even if one doesn’t die, they’d be weakened for a long time."

Lin Zeyu asked suspiciously: "Based on our previous analysis, Ke Yiming gave this scythe to someone else to act as his scapegoat and then took it back later. Wouldn’t he have to re-sacrifice blood?"

Lu Heng explained: "Indeed, that’s why we smelled blood in his room earlier. He probably stored blood in advance, perhaps his own, drawing a certain amount daily to store."

Lin Zeyu frowned and asked: "According to the rules of blood sacrifice, it says during the sacrifice process, third-party blood can’t be mixed in. Can it be mixed in one’s own blood?"

Lu Heng wasn’t entirely sure either, speculating: "I guess not, even if it’s one’s own blood, but once drawn out and stored for a period of time, it might also be judged as third-party blood.

"However, this doesn’t affect Ke Yiming’s strategy for regaining the rank; he just needs to endure the blood sacrifice period, then once he acquires the rank, he can transfuse the stored blood back into his body. Thus, there would only be a very brief period of weakness."

Lin Zeyu raised an eyebrow: "Is that possible."

Su Muyu felt an unusual sensation when touching the Blood Scythe, frowning: "Lu Heng, do you want to take this rank?"

Lu Heng wasn’t very sure either, originally planning to try obtaining the rank once the timing matured after receiving the scythe.

This is the first Fourth Transition Rank appearing at this stage; if obtained, it would greatly enhance combat power.

Moreover, this weapon itself is very strong.

However, the information revealed by Ke Yiming when he escaped elicited new suspicions about the scythe.

Lu Heng pondered and replied: "I’m not very sure now; this scythe is strong, the rank also strong, but I suspect the scythe itself possesses enslaving attributes.

"Ke Yiming revealed before escaping that he knew beforehand about the revival of Santos’ Bone Sovereign beneath the seal.

"Even Pharaoh didn’t know this information, only Ke Yiming did, so it could only have been obtained from the Bone Sovereign.

"This indicates there exists some kind of connection between Ke Yiming and the Bone Sovereign.

"And the link in this connection is probably this scythe.

"Considering the name of this scythe ’Death God’s Deputy’, the person obtaining the rank is merely a delegate for some entity, tasked with fulfilling duties for this entity.
