[Keltic_Spirit: Counting tally : 1. I wonder how the blood servants are made/controlled. Is it just an essence blood fueled puppet or is it more akin to mind control?]

Theo glanced at the comment and said, "To answer that question, how about I do this…" Theo raised his finger once.

Two days ago.

"The Crimson Witch has two types of blood servants. Most of them are the first type, low level blood servants. They only act with a single program, which is to attack their enemies. However, they are able to spread the control of blood through fluid contact, which is why most of them will try to injure you.

"The second type is high level blood servants. Unlike the first type, they're able to utilize their original power. However, they're still fully controlled by the Crimson Witch herself. You can say that she is able to split her focus into multiple targets and control them by herself.

"But this is also the limitation of her power or else she would become the greatest witch that can raise hundreds if not millions of servants by herself.

"First of all, she is unable to create a huge army since she ends up splitting her focus more. The more blood servants she has, the smaller her area of control is, especially if you take into account the high level blood servants.

"That's why we're able to keep her within the Blood Forest. That's her limit. Of course, the blood servants are using the essence in the air to fuel themselves. So even if you manage to defeat all the servants, you will end up clashing with the Crimson Witch whose energy is still full. Normally, her mind would be exhausted, which ultimately defeats her. But in her current condition, I can't say."

Theo lowered his finger and said, "I don't know if that works or not. I'm still testing whether it's possible to answer you with a flashback. Tell me if there's no flashback, as I'll explain it in the next chapter.

"As for the second comment… Welcome back. I'll ignore the rest, but yes, things are going pretty well for me."

Theo waved his hand, making the panel disappear.

Meanwhile, his students seemed to be having a hard time with the incoming blood servants.

The blood servants rammed their bodies to the wall, only to get pierced by the spikes Luca made.

However, those spikes had limits. Since the bodies of the blood servants didn't disappear, a few bodies were all it took to cover the spikes completely. And the rest of the blood servants could easily climb the bodies of other blood servants and leap over the wall.

Still, Luca immediately recalled all the spikes.

Without anything holding them, the corpses ended up sliding down. The other blood servants easily stepped on their dead bodies, but Luca immediately created another wave of spikes on the upper part of the wall, killing anything above those corpses.

She repeated the same thing, which ended up stacking all those corpses together, forming a wall of corpses.

The blood servants were desperately digging their way through, but it still gave Lucas some time to form another barrier.

He recalled the wall and formed another wall closer to them. The size was smaller, but the number of blood servants had been reduced quite a lot with this trick. If they did it multiple times, the enemies would eventually lose their number.

This was indeed a good strategy to fight brainless blood servants.

However, the moment the high level blood servants realized what they were doing, they immediately intervened.

The first witch lifted her hands. Suddenly, the ground started to shake as roots began to expand out of the ground.

"!!!" Luca and Lucas frowned. The roots that the witch controlled were outside their wall. But these roots actually became a slope for the blood servants, allowing the blood servants to climb without getting hit by the spikes.

Still, Luca and Lucas immediately pointed their fingers in a certain direction. "Aurora!"

Aurora's eyes turned sharp as she tried to find the culprit among the sea of trees. Now that she had gotten the general direction, she could finally find the witch that controlled the plant.

"There she is." Aurora released her arrow, turning it into a beam of light.

The fire witch appeared on its way and shot out another fire spear.

Unfortunately for the witch, Aurora's arrow wasn't just a mere arrow anymore. It had evolved and started approaching the strong arrow Duchess Christina had.

It instantly pierced through the fire spear and continued its way toward the plant witch.

Another witch, despite not reaching the location in time, was still able to form multiple walls made of soil.

The beam pierced through the wall, but it was losing a portion of its power after each wall.

Eventually, the beam lost all its energy, leaving only three walls intact.

"…" Aurora furrowed her eyebrows. She thought it was going to work, but it seemed that she had underestimated these witches.

'According to the Darkness Witch, those witches shouldn't be very strong because the Crimson Witch can't control someone stronger than her. I guess the only way to destroy them… is to become stronger…' Aurora furrowed her eyebrows. 'The blood servants are also leaping over the walls, so…'

Luca and Lucas were searching for another way to stop these blood servants.

However, there was one thing that they didn't calculate.

Theo couldn't help but glance to the side as if he were looking at the outside of the forest.

Yes, they didn't calculate the possibility of the blood servants coming from outside the forest. The Darkness Witch herself said that the blood servants couldn't leave the forest since that was the Crimson Witch's limit. However, she also said that the higher the number of her blood servants, the smaller her area of control was.

In other words, now that they had killed several hundred blood servants, it meant that the control area had just become bigger, allowing the blood servants to actually come out of the forest and loop around, attacking them from behind.

Aurora's ears twitched as if she heard the commotion. She couldn't help but turn her head around, noticing her own inexperience. "What?!"
