Bloodlust

Chapter 169: Bloodlust-

Continuing with the theme of effects, the effect of additional damage is quite simple to understand, so what is interesting is the effect of flames, the damage that fire can cause on the sword is not exactly described, but it is also Reasonable, it's difficult and almost impossible to describe the damage from this effect, but it should be quite strong considering its temperature.

"If the transformation improves the effects of the sword, what if I add even more effects?"

Har had an idea thinking about the fire effect that was added after the transformation, because he can add his own fire damage effect to the sword using enchantments, if he does, will the fire effect be boosted as well?, also, Does the cost to transform the sword increase if you add effects by yourself, you'll have to check later.

'It seems that time remains unchanged while the sword is up for auction.'

Har could notice that the remaining 20 seconds did not decrease, he thinks that by removing the sword from the auction and bringing it back to the real world, time should resume.

Although it's been a while, no one has made an offer yet, and it's pretty obvious, no one would be wasteful enough to spend so much on a sword whose only appeal is a skill that will end shortly, it's only useful to Har, who possesses the ability to keep transforming the sword, but all at a cost, but you can still use the end crystal and increase the remaining time as many times as you like, but this still won't work if you want to transform yourself.

While constant consumption skills aren't a problem for Har, skills that require immediate high MP consumption are, although consuming 2,500 mana is nothing as long as he's in sage mode constantly draining energy, or even spending all of his MP in an instant, he is defenseless against abilities that cost more than his mana cap.

This is arguably a simple and obvious limitation, but Har wants to use abilities with a cost that exceeds his current mana cap, and it's lucky he's figured out a way to do it.

'Bloodlust.'

Thinking of this ability, Har closed his eyes as a lot of information flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, the veins all over her body became visible to the naked eye, his muscles tensed, and his internal organs began to work on common standards.

"Ugh…"

With a sigh, Har calmed the muscles that tensed and the veins returned to their normal state, yet his entire body was still overloaded with power beyond what he could currently handle.

Only when his body calmed down, Har opened his eyes again, now they were so red that they seemed to have been bathed in blood, but that's not all, if someone with magical perception were here they would certainly notice something more surprising, because the aura of Har increased demonstrating the changes in his magical power.

"It was hard just to control the ability to minimize the effects, but it's worth it."

Har could feel the increase in his magic power, he had activated the Bloodlust skill to only increase his MP, but this thing actually wanted to increase all of his attributes, it can be seen that this is a bit flawed skill, but it is to be expected. let it be something like this since it comes from the demons.

'It seems that the increase in power is about additional points.'

Entering his state, Har could notice that his MP had a similar change to the sword's description after the transformation.

[-MP:3980/4000-(×2)--->7980/8000<]

Using the skill only at the first level is already able to double his MP, so each level should add his max MP as extra points, it wouldn't make sense to get a ×1 multiplication, so this is best.

That means he can get an extra 40,000 points if he uses the skill to the fullest, which made Har very satisfied to get this skill, thinking that it's amazing to reach rank A without reaching rank B yet.

"Uh!"

Har was thinking of continuing to increase his MP in order to transform himself, but at this moment, he felt a pang in his heart, and it was not a premonition, but his heart seemed to have been pierced by a needle suddenly.

"Oh!!"

The next second, Har felt like his arms and legs were pierced by dozens of needles, although it doesn't compare to when Mephisto sent him to the void of hell, it's still a pretty painful feeling.

On his arms and legs some small blood marks could be seen, although escaping from wounds as small as a mosquito bite, it can still be seen that his body is not able to withstand the increased power of his mana.

'If this is just one stat, what if I increase all the others?'

Har only thought about it for a moment, not because he doesn't want to experience it, but because his mind suddenly went blank, all he could think about was killing, murdering everything that gets in his way, giving himself a bloodbath and eating others. his enemies if necessary, he subconsciously frowned and looked at the little Vex who had handed him his sword earlier.

Then, with his red eyes shining like a sea of blood under the moonlight, a violet breath began to escape between the teeth that he had clenched at some point.

"Uh!"

Shaking his head quickly, Har's face returned to normal and he regained control of his movements, his breath also quickly vanished into the air, just now he seemed to have fallen into madness for an instant, he even nearly killed the Vex. Fortunately, he was able to react in time.

"What the hell happened? Is this a side effect?"

Har thought about it for only a few moments before having this idea, he can deduce from the name of the skill that there is a hidden flaw in using bloodlust.

I had thought before that this name was strange for an empower ability whose effects do not include the tendency to madness, but it has already been proven that this is not the case, as the name indicates, Har can tell that his mind will be overwhelmed by thoughts bloody and warlike.

Maybe he can control it if his intelligence is above the attribute that has been boosted, but now it's the opposite, his MP has doubled but not his intelligence, which makes it even easier to lose control, so he can't use the ability to increase your intelligence and not fall into madness then enhance other attributes.

Thinking about this, Har came to the conclusion that it is best to experience it now, he will test this ability to the maximum and see what effects it can have, there is nothing to fear since he is on the first floor, the people who can be killed they will only return to the real world, and even if he himself dies it won't be anything important.

With this in mind, Har only moved away from his base to avoid destroying it in a moment of madness, first he rose into the air with his Shinigami wings, then he disappeared using teleportation, this time he instantly moved 700 meters away, obviously the distance he can move has increased along with his mana cap.

But, only now that he had consumed part of his Mp could he realize something, his mana recovery had also increased, his Mp began to restore rapidly, although it is only a few points every few seconds, you can tell the difference, unfortunately not can be compared to MP recovery in sage mode.

He also doesn't want to go into sage mode without first experiencing the side effects of bloodlust, if he loses control of that much power it can certainly be disastrous.

Har's eyes were shining with an intense crimson light, then the veins all over his body showed again, but this time it didn't end there, but his muscles bulged to such an extent that he looked like a huge bodybuilder, and this was just the beginning.

He used the ability to boost strength, intelligence and speed at the same time, the after-effects didn't take long to appear and Har felt like his whole body was under immense pressure.

Second level of the ability, Har noticed that his vision was clouding as he slowly lost his senses, it seemed the sight of a drunk person whose perspective of the world has been almost completely distorted, but unlike getting drunk with alcohol, it can be said that Har has become Drunk with the desire to kill, he was still able to resist clenching his teeth, but the pain inside made him think that he could implode.

Third level of the skill, Har completely lost his senses and became unconscious, his body only kept in flight for the sole purpose of reaching the maximum level and starting a large-scale slaughter, his eyes shed a tear of blood and his veins glowed with a dim red light.

Fourth level of the skill, the extra points had doubled his attributes 4 times and added to his original state, his muscles became even bigger and his veins glowed with a light that turned crimson, unlike before, this Once his body began to fill with cracks that became longer and longer like roots of a tree.

Fifth level of the "Bloodlust" skill, his skin began to peel off and cracks penetrated into his body, unlike demons, the human body is much weaker and cannot withstand this kind of power, even Har, who has improved his defense and has broken through the human limit a long time ago.

Maybe body damage can be resisted by buffing defense over stats after using the ability, but defense is out of the attributes that can be buffed, upgrading defense to resist side effects is not an option, so You can't use this sort of loophole in the ability since it doesn't exist.

By this point, the additional points in his magic power had reached 20,000, so his MP limit should be 24,000 if added to his original state, this is more than enough to use the "Demonization" skill, but unfortunately Har he has already lost his senses and is only acting for the purpose of slaughter.

His whole body turned reddish as if it were at a very high temperature, his muscles were left bare when his skin came off, so blood began to flow from his entire body, in addition to the cracks, his eyes, nose and His mouth was bleeding and he seemed to be at the gates of death.

"Uh!"

As soon as he entered the sixth level of the skill, Har spat out blood and hunched forward, some internal organs immediately bursting from the pressure he exerted on them breaking the limits so many times.

Outside, his body began to crumble from all sides, the muscles in his arms looked like thick pillars to support buildings, his body couldn't take it, the cells did the work of decades in seconds and were starting to die, this is the limit of the human body, the limit of a race's bodily talent.

Even though Har hadn't activated the "Demonization" skill, his body didn't look human anymore, even the skin on his face peeled off, so he looked like a scary weird zombie straight out of hell.

The Shinigami's wings were almost imperceptible against the thick muscles of his back, his body began to droop like his flesh, and a mixture of blood, sweat and tears dripped from his chin and the limbs.

Tired, in extreme pain, his body weakened greatly despite having increased his strength, so the price to pay is much higher than the benefit.

"Aaaaaaaahh!!!"

With a great roar that even pushed the air around him, Har had gone mad with power, stared at the moon for an instant, and then was ready to go in for the kill.

If a person was nearby they would definitely feel great pressure, the bonus points reached 28,000 so their MP limit reached 32,000 temporarily, the aura around them had grown to the point where even an ordinary person would be able to see it, it's just which is not the colorless aura of Har's pure mana, but a bloody aura as if it came from a monster, however, the next second.

Tump!!*

Entering the seventh level of the "Bloodlust" skill, Har's eyes blanked out and lost their shine, his heart couldn't take it anymore and burst before another second passed, shortly after, his body fell to the ground. filling the surroundings with a pool of blood in an instant.
