A fated betrayal (Part 1)

"Sacrifice!"

When Bai Zemin shouted the word Sacrifice, a strange sinister aura came out from the Soul Stone on the greatsword's guard. Soon, the entire blade was surrounded by a kind of blood-red mist and part of that mist coiled around his right arm like a snake.

50... 100... 150... 200... 250... 300...

In just an instant, 300 points of the Health stat were drained but he didn't stop. 

Health was a stat that could not be messed with and that was precisely why Bai Zemin's second activation Overlap Regeneration did not allow him to touch the Health stat points. This was because the points of the Health stat represented more than recovery or regeneration rate; they were basically the life of each soul evolver.

By consuming health points, not only would wound recovery become significantly slower but the user would gradually begin to become weaker to the point where even the wind would be able to cause fatal damage.
