Returning home with corpses? Can that be considered going home?
Perhaps it is, for the warriors who died on the battlefield and their relatives, this is the greatest consolation.
But Lu Ping’an...
"I refuse, you can go back yourself."
With a light pat, a late payment came due, and a warrior who had barely survived regained his life.
As for Lu Ping’an, who had entered the center of the battlefield, he took the lead and plunged deep into the enemy’s ranks without hesitation.
When he used his "dancing shoes" and professional abilities to sprint straight ahead, few people could stop him... Moreover, those with such abilities no longer had the mentality to fight to the death.
Defeat was spreading, and when the situation was obviously lost, not many people were eager to fight to the death anymore.
Lu Ping’an’s "delaying tactics" completely ruined the morale of the Aus people. They had enough time and channels to understand everything that was happening and then lost the courage to continue winning.
Yet even so, Lu Ping’an still charged too fast... He had reached the center of the enemy camp, directly facing the combined blockade of the elite security team.
And clearly visible to him were several high-level professionals.
It seemed he was a bit too hasty.
It wasn’t simply that he had a suicidal tendency or was too eager to hunt, but rather, the cards he held were not suitable for playing slowly in the rear...
"Almost there..."
The "courtyard" opened, and a massive swarm of beasts rushed out. This time, however, they were not ordinary wolves.
Each large and small wolf had red eyes, furiously biting the Aus people (those with non-black hair) as soon as they saw them, adopting a do-or-die battle approach.
On their foreheads and temples, there was often a bone spike.
[Bone Pin (Brass Upper, Pale Hand Professional Ability): Embed a ’bone pin’ into the living creature, indirectly controlling it for a short period.]
[PS1: If the target to be controlled is a ’limb’ joint, the bone pin can blend into the target’s joint bone, temporarily controlling its movements. Upon the end of the control, the creature with the embedded ’bone pin’ will be released, and the bone pin will blend into its bone.]
[PS2. If the target to be controlled is the ’whole body’, the bone pin can be inserted into the target’s thinking system, issuing simple ’behavioral commands,’ but after it expires, the bone pin cannot disappear and will cause severe negative effects on its cognitive organ.]
Obviously, the wolves in front of them were not the "generals" or "kings" of Lu Ping’an. They were just unlucky ones eliminated in rounds of selection.
Considering that their strength must not be too strong for Lu Ping’an to control them completely, they were basically the worst batch.
With the end of the war, these eliminated ones had to be disposed of; otherwise, not only would feed be wasted, but the quality of the next generation would be polluted... Which is something a Beast Tamer cannot accept.
Now, these wild wolves, whose minds were only filled with "biting those non-black-haired humans," completely abandoned their own lives and defense, fighting desperately against the Aus people to the death.
"... Kill him, kill that Beast Tamer."
"It’s him, it’s Lu Ping’an, he’s the one who destroyed our hopes..."
But those high-level professionals still rushed over.
Merely relying on these rejected wolves to block them was somewhat contemptuous.
Red-eyed, at least, they wanted to take away this "chief culprit."
"...Let’s begin."
Lu Ping’an just silently took out a cup, a pitch-black crystal cup.
Compared to before, it was already overflowing with black liquid, and that was after being compressed repeatedly.
"... Body Martyrdom."
With a gentle squeeze from Lu Ping’an, the next moment...
The whole world was filled with explosions, and the blooming red blood flowed everywhere.
This time, it came too fast and too urgently.
"Ahh!" A third-tier battle professional, who was unlucky, was directly hit by the explosion.
He broke both his legs and rolled on the ground in pain. Around him, everything was blood-red, with blood and flesh everywhere.
But it wasn’t over yet.
One after another, the enraged wild wolves targeted him, and then...
Left behind, there was only a pile of fresh blood.
At this moment, the interceptors noticed that the first explosion actually came from the corpses of the wolves left on the ground!
Corpse explosions, or perhaps a more understandable name...
"The Corpse Controlling Practitioners! He’s a high-level one."
Someone shouted these words, but Lu Ping’an just shook his head with a smile.
"It’s the Black Knight, the Black Knight of the Evil Gods Path...."
He got the answer right, but there was no reward.
Only the blooming flowers of flesh and blood responded to these doomed souls.
Wolves scattered everywhere self-detonated... Those wolves that had been entangling the Aus people without fearing death could easily take down two or three of them.
This kind of ability is indeed not suitable for use within the friendly camp, and this was actually the weakest part of the "Black Holy Grail Holder’s" two and a half unique abilities.
"Leave it, it’s a waste, just use them all."
At this moment, the long-accumulated "Black Holy Water" had no intention to be saved. One by one, the "flesh and blood bombs" exploded directly.
And those high-level professionals who were close by, trying to be "heroes" and drag Lu Ping’an to die with them....
This time, Lu Ping’an unleashed several hundred abandoned wolves all at once!
"Boom!" In an instant, the whole world was blood-red.
One by one, flowers of blood bloomed and scattered, then extinguished. The once thriving flames of life also faded along.

When everything returned to peace, the only one left in the original place was a tall knight who was completely dyed red.
[Black Holy Grail (Bronze Upper Professional Ability): A cup of negative life condensed from fresh blood and hatred of the dead spirits. When it is filled, it can use the following career ability by consuming its liquid (Black Holy Water).]
[Black Holy Grail. Corpse Martyrdom (Bronze Upper Professional Ability): After drinking the diluted Black Holy Water, the creature receiving the command of the Black Holy Grail Holder after its death will forcibly explode its flesh and blood.]
It’s called a half ability because it is a lower-level version of an even more advanced ability.
[Black Holy Grail. Domain Corpse Martyrdom (Silver Lower Professional Ability): Consume a large amount of Black Holy Water to cause a group explosion of the corpses that have a causal connection to the source.]
Yes, this is a Silver Lower Professional Ability, and also Lu Ping’an’s first "special ability" that has exceeded the Decree-level... In a sense, borrowing the "Divine Grace" half-step ahead, this is the greatest advantage of the Evil Gods profession.
What seems like a simple description is actually a very terrifying strategic art.
During the battle, the Black Holy Grail absorbs the grudges and blood on the battlefield and condenses it into the "Black Holy Water". During this process, the "providers" and "materials" inevitably establish a connection with the Black Holy Grail.
Once the Black Knight makes up his mind, he can detonate all the corpses on the battlefield at once by consuming the Black Holy Water ... creating a qualitative change with such a vast change, the power would be enough to wash away the whole battlefield.
If used properly, it is an ace in the hole that can change the course of the battle.
But compared to the final "big move", this ability is still considered weak.
[Black Holy Grail. Revenge Corpse (Silver Lower Professional Ability): Consume all Black Holy Water to revive all corpses, and these corpses will remain active for up to 24 hours....]
This is the core ability of the "Black Holy Grail Holder", a dead spirit disaster in some sense, and also the fundamental reason why this profession must have the "Corpse Controlling Practitioners" ability to be qualified.
On the battlefield, there is never a shortage of corpses, and if all of them are resurrected... it would be a true nightmare for both sides of the fight.
Well, both sides would suffer since revived corpses will attack all lifeforms.
At the same time, corpse explosions won’t spare one’s own comrades.
Black Knights are generally indiscriminate bastards, and the Black Holy Grail Knights among Black Knights have never treated people kindly.
This is also the root cause of why Lu Ping’an has been holding back these two trump cards... In another environment, he might have played them earlier, but the current battlefield is really not suitable.
But now, as the battle is coming to an end, and the Black Holy Water in the Black Holy Grail will naturally disappear, so not using it would be a waste.
"Destroy them all..."
So, Lu Ping’an extravagantly used up his own "stockpile".
After all, taking it back would be a waste of shipping costs and taxes... well, even if that aspect is zero, it would still waste smuggling space.
Many others were doing the same thing. Once everything had entered its end stage, there was no need to hold on to the trump cards any longer.
Everyone was dancing, everyone was showing off, and only the Aus people were being beaten up.
Killings continued, and more and more people fled.
As the fighting went on, the sky gradually brightened.
Finally, when the sky was completely bright and the sun hung overhead, this Vengeful Battle came to a complete end.
