The Blood Master seized his opportunity and wasted no time in using one of the ultimate skills he had been holding back.

[Blood Control: Hemocyte Grasp]

This was a 6th-tier skill, allowing the user to manipulate the blood within the target's body within a certain range. The effect of this skill was instant, so there was no delay between forming the hand seal and activating the skill. In an instant, the blood within All-Hunger Lord's body fell under Blood Master's control.

*Thump!

However, this skill had a weakness - its limited range of only 10 meters. In high-level combat like this, it was almost impossible to approach a spell master like All-Hunger Lord. But for various reasons, including a reckless attack by Blood Master, they were now at exactly a 10-meter distance.

Yet it was impossible to make the blood within All-Hunger Lord's body destroy him from within. His body was not just composed of blood; it was also formed by Mana. Therefore, Hemocyte Grasp could only stun All-Hunger Lord temporarily, without causing any other damage.

And this effect lasted only one second.

But one second was enough for Blood Master to finish this battle. His hand suddenly turned as red as blood, and his sharp nails elongated menacingly.

[Blood Claw]!

Blood Master lunged forward and plunged his sharp claws into Lord of Hunger's chest. And...

*STAB!

Blood spurted out, covering the decades of light due to its sheer volume. However, the blood wasn't flowing from All-Hunger Lord's body; it was pouring from Blood Master's chest.

It could be seen that the skull staff in All-Hunger Lord's hand had pierced through Blood Master's chest to his back. 

“[Aspect of Demon: All Things Are Food]!”

A sly smile played on All-Hunger Lord's lips as he whispered, his gaze fixed upon Blood Master as if he were a delectable meal laid out on his dining table. Moreover, from the shattered chest, a terrifying force gnawed at his body relentlessly. It felt like there were thousands of hungry mouths devouring him rapidly.

Blood Master recognized this skill, as it was quite famous for its devastation. When All-Hunger Lord arrived on a planet, all he needed to do was touch the tip of his staff to the ground, and everything on the planet would be devoured in an instant.

"H-How..." Blood Master stammered in disbelief.

"Hehehe... I never expected that when you were pushed to the brink, you'd become this foolish. Unfortunately, I was also waiting for you to engage in close combat with me! You were too naive to assume that I, the master of spells, couldn't fight in close quarters. Not only do I possess skills that can match some Adherents in close combat, but I also have other skills that allow me to hold my own against you, even if only for a few seconds.

"Hemocyte Grasp may control the blood within my body and immobilize me. Moreover, it's an attack that doesn't deal damage, so its effect can't be nullified by the Body-Mana Connection spell. However, just because I can't control my body doesn't mean I can't control the Mana within my body.

"The staff in my hand is called the Demon Spine Staff. Hehehehe... Do you realize it? That's right! This staff is made from my own spine, so even though I can't control my body, the Mana inside the Demon Spine is the same as the one inside my body!"

The smile on All-Hunger Lord's face widened, revealing his sharp teeth.

"HAHAHAHA... Finally, our battle comes to an end HAHAHAHA... Although I've enjoyed it, it's time to stop and enjoy the delicious feast that awaits me. I promise you, Oh Blood Master, that I won't waste a single strand of your hair! Everything will go into my stomach and nourish my body! By consuming you, I will become stronger, more perfect, and better!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"

"Pfft..." Blood Master spewed blood that soaked his chest, but the blood was quickly absorbed into the Demon Spine, as was the blood that had sprayed from his body earlier. However, he continued to gaze calmly at All-Hunger Lord, who was laughing joyfully.

He appeared so calm that it was evident that his previous panic had been an act. All-Hunger Lord was aware of this strangeness, but he thought it was Blood Master's way of upholding his honor.

For a tiger werebeast, fear and regret, even when death was imminent, were a sign of weakness. But when a smile slowly crept onto Blood Master's lips, All-Hunger Lord realized something was amiss.

"If demons had mothers, she would surely have told you this: 'Don't snack carelessly.' Unfortunately, you'll never learn this little lesson. Goodbye, All-Hunger Lord! GG!"

[Blood Sacrifice: Hemocyte Burst]!!

Simultaneously activating the skill, all the blood within Blood Master's body exploded. Not only that, the blood that had been absorbed by the All-Hunger Lord also exploded. Both individuals detonated simultaneously, causing a supernova phenomenon that obliterated the entire cosmic realm without leaving a speck of dust behind.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!
