n“Oh wow… These flames are kind of hot,”

nAll of a sudden, her flames then jolted themselves towards the commander at the very front of the large army, frightening him as he took a few steps backward with his horse.

nHe was clearly a replacement as the commander I had fought before was so much strong than this guy that I think my previous self could’ve one-tapped him.

n“What an insult for such a strong position… No, to that man,”

n“Stop talking about respect if you led him on with a few potions. That is the most disrespectful thing anybody could ever do,” Bella muttered before swinging her hands down, completely enveloping the man with bright green flames.

nThey burned him into absolutely nothing, scaring the army behind him as he didn’t even have a chance to retaliate.

n“Everybody, go all out. We might be let off the hook if we take out the army before the backup comes,” I smirked, and everybody else just smiled maliciously as a few lieutenants stepped up, already directing the large army into a pincer-like formation.

nOur group immediately split up, with Aisa, Cy, and Luna joining together, while I joined up with Bella and Findir.

n“We’ll take the left-wing,” Luna said, and as the other two followed her away from us, my group dashed towards the right-wing.

nBut, for some reason, the closer I got to the army, the more I felt a stinging sensation on the skin under my left eye.

n“Am I actually about to go full chunni?” I chuckled, and just as I opened my crescent eyes… all I saw was darkness.

nMy body continued to move instinctually, and in the next coming second, I blinked, revealing dark red stick figures with flowing and thick bodies.

n“Is this… blood?” I muttered, and as I slowly reached out, the blood shifted with my hand, moving backward in spike-like shapes.

nI then blinked again and returned to the normal world, where I found myself standing still, my hand stretched out and my mouth moving on its own.

n“Blood Sampler,”

n“Oh… my. Did you do that?” Bella asked as she returned to my side and looked at the split-wing in front of us that had completely collapsed, only the lieutenants remaining, completely unharmed.

nFwip

nI flicked my hand back and all the blood spikes manipulated into another spike towards me, and with one more flick, they all conjured into a thick red ball in the center of my palm.

n“I see. So that’s how it works,” I muttered before glancing over at the left-wing and reaching my hand out, but nothing really came to me.

nThe only thing I felt was their fearful presence as they all collapsed to the ground from the vast array of nightmarish illusions… that the mages on their side quickly broke, but it seemed Luna was having some fun.

nShe even created some openings that Aisa and Cy immediately utilized to their rightful advantage.

nAisa used her newly obtained sniper to obliterate all of the lieutenants who were still dazed from the images just shown to them, while Cy tore through waves upon waves of soldiers as they stood there mindlessly, their consciousnesses almost completely broken and shattered.

n“How amusing,” Findir muttered as he eyed the remaining lieutenants shivering in fear.

nAfter twirling the sickles in between his fingers, he dashed towards the helpless soldiers who didn’t even know who cut them.

nTheir heads fell, cleanly separating from their head, only a black trail of wind left with their death.

n“That skill is kind of overpowered,” Bella pouted as she was a bit jealous of this seemingly all-powerful skill, but from what I could tell, it was mostly used to clean up small fry.

n“Nah, it has some drawbacks. First of all, I can’t use it on anybody slightly or a little bit weaker than me. In fact, the disparity between our power must be so much that I could literally just swat them away like a fly. Then, there is also the fact that….”

n“It drains up most of your mana?” Bella asked as she saw me confirming some things with my status.

n“Yep… I had a full bar of mana before as I didn’t need to use anything against those assassins which now that I think about it… They were probably scouting for any powerful beings… which is why the army was just waiting here. Okay, now everything makes more sense,” I muttered as Findir quickly returned to my side, shaking off the blood from his sickles.

n“That was refreshing,” He said while catching his breath.

n“Oh, did you lose some of your stamina with the class up?” Bella asked, sitting down on the ground as green flames slowly maneuvered around her.

n“Nah… It’s just going that fast takes a bit out of me. I’m not all that powerful yet,” He replied, and I could tell he was already excited for his next class up.

n“No more trenches, no more emergency rations, no more trench foot, and finally… we can return to some warm and amazing showers,” I muttered while practically drooling.

n“Mhm… I mean, we haven’t won yet. Who knows, the general might fail,” Findir smirked.

nSoon, after we cleaned up the battlefield a bit… also known as cremating all the corpses, Luna came up to me and asked an interesting question.

n“What are you going to do with that ball of blood?” She asked as I slowly absorbed the stained blood on the ground into the small pill-shaped ball of blood in my hand.

n“I dunno… What? Do you want it?” I shrugged, and she made a disgusted face before replying.

n“Absolutely not. Even if it turns into a pill, I won’t swallow it even if my life depended on it,”

nAnd as if the gods themselves were trying to prove her wrong, a single panel appeared before me, standing strong and bright, like a message sent from heaven.

nYou have created the Rare Pill: Pill of Condensed Blood
