Legion didn't hold back at all. They acted as if they were in a field full of weeds. All they did was clear out the weeds with reckless abandon and without mercy.
The blood beast was still stunned, but it was beginning to shake and spasm uncontrollably too. It couldn't fly anymore because it had forgotten how to.
It had lost so many memories that it couldn't remember how to do many things. This much damage to its memories was damaging its mind and its psyche.
Despite this much damage, it is still fine physically. In fact, it is whole and hearty physically.
However, the damage to its mind has reduced the structural integrity of its mind too much. This made it easy for the blades made out of the rank 4 Mental Armament divine ability to be able to carve into its mind easily.
These invisible blades shot out from Legion's mind into the blood beast's mind. Then they got to work doing permanent and destructive damage to its mind.
They poked holes in the mind of the blood beast and turned it into Swiss cheese. In less than 30 seconds of attack, the mind of the blood beast became incapable of maintaining its structure. The mind caved in and collapsed.
The destruction of the mind severed the connection between the soul of the blood beast and its body. This caused its body to stop moving.
Technically, the blood beast was still alive. After all, its soul was intact, and its body was full of life energy to maintain it. It is just that the soul can't control the body anymore.
If given time, the blood beast might heal and be able to reconnect its soul to its body. This is unlikely, but it is possible with enough water of life.
However, even if the blood beast's soul manages to heal its mind and rejoin its body, the damage to its memories will be permanent, so what would be revived would be a blood beast with a severe mental handicap.
But Legion isn't going to give the blood beast the chance to come back as a retarded being. They used their Blood Manipulation divine ability to shatter the defenseless body of the blood beast until it was dead. Then they took what they wanted and left quickly.
A few seconds after they left, the two remaining blood beasts recovered from their stunned state. Then they looked around in confusion.
It took a while for them to understand their current situation. After realizing that the food that they had been chasing had escaped, the two of them went back to hunt the rank 8 killer.
The rank 8 killer had also noticed that something was wrong. When she saw the rank 7 and rank 8 blood beasts leaving en masse, she knew that a new killer must have arrived in the spiritual dimension.
Her eyes turned cold as she thought to herself, "He or she should be rank 7 or at most rank 8. They can't be rank 9, or the rank 9 blood beasts would have gone after them."
"It is most likely that they are just rank 7. But this is still unacceptable."
She doesn't want any killer to reach the legendary realm because she doesn't want her competitors to become too powerful.
Normally, every godclad in a pathway are each other's competitors. This is especially the case when there is no god in the pathway.
Even if there is a god in the pathway, godclads are still wary of godclads in their pathway because they can kill each other for their divine flesh.
This possibility of danger from other godclads of the same pathway becomes even greater for killers who like to kill people.
Killers don't need a good reason to kill. They might just kill you in order to harvest life energy for the Blood Sacrifice divine ability or for the boost to spiritual power of the Bloodthirsty divine ability.
Killers have too many reasons to want to kill someone. But when you add the fact that they are competitors that are seeking the same limited thing, even without seeing each other, they consider each other enemies that must be killed.
She didn't see Legion, but she wished terribly that he was close enough for her to see because if she could see him, she would most likely be able to use Life Siphon on him to kill him from a distance.
She is definitely trigger-happy, but she has an even more important reason for her to abhor the existence of other killers. The reason is that she can sense the location of the Blood Ocean, and she can sense that it is free.
She became capable of sensing the Blood Ocean after she assimilated the rank 7 divine flesh from a bloody heart. This was before the events that led to the release of the god of justice and the Blood Ocean.
Back then when the Blood Ocean was still sealed, she could sense it, but she couldn't tell its location. and its condition.
The feeling was magical. It felt as if she had formed a connection to the Blood Ocean. That connection only increased in strength after she absorbed the rank 8 divine flesh from a bloody heart.
Now that the Blood Ocean is free, she can sense its general location, and it feels like the Authority of the pathway is within reach of her.
The special feeling even gave her the illusion that she would be able to summon the Blood Ocean after she absorbs the rank 9 divine flesh from the bloody heart and becomes an angel.
Even if this isn't true, she will be content as long as she can find the Ocean of Blood through the link that she had with it. By then, subduing it will be easy for her because of the link she has with it, and she will be able to easily become the new god of killing.
