Chapter 104: Chapter 104: Blood Arts, Very Low Mastery

[Do you want to use the "Blood Arts Scroll"?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes."

As the blood seeped around him, the scroll absorbed it, darkening as if feeding off the energy.

His vision began to blur, the pressure of the blood pressing against his body, yet he gritted his teeth, determined to see it through.

A faint hum began to resonate from the scroll, growing louder as it siphoned his energy.

His veins pulsed, filling with newfound power, but the strength was double-edged—his stamina ebbed away with each second, his body struggling to hold on.

[Hold on.]

He clenched his fists, muscles straining, every instinct in his body screaming at him to break the surface, to breathe.

But he forced those thoughts away, focusing on holding out just a little longer.

[20%…]

[30%…]

He counted the seconds, fighting through the blood pressing in from all sides.
