The group had made it to the Human battlefield after a bit of traveling. From their stationed world to the battlefield was only a month of travel so it was not too bad. During this time the group discussed many things and possible plans. However, throughout the whole trip Raven was eerily silent. This caught Vlad, Carmilla, Elyndra and Kaelen a bit off guard because before she seemed excited to enter the war.
But now she seemed nervous?
Well, that what they thought at least. Vlad and Carmilla both trying to talk to her, but she sat motionless and the only thing that moved were the pools of blood in her eyes. It seemed the closer the got to the battlefield the more intense they showed and swirled.
When Elara and Liora saw this, they simply shook their heads. They had saw this happen to Raven more than a few times, so it was not surprising. Elara spoke to the two elder vampires casually.
"How can you not understand a vampire, when you're the King and Queen of them? Anyways don't worry she gets like this whenever she gets in her 'mood'."
Hearing this Vlad questioned back.
"What do you mean by 'her mood'?"
"You should seriously get to know your daughter more. Like I said before everything is fine, she will be back to normal once we reach the battlefield." Elara spoke.
That conversation happened more than a week ago and Raven still hadn't moved a muscle. Once they arrived at the battlefield the sounds of clashing could be heard even from the distance they were at. However, when they landed the spatial artifact Raven moved at a slow and steady pace.
She exited the space craft and stood in the dark and cold space as she closed her eyes. She stood there and listened to the sounds of blades clashing, sounds of dying cries, loud explosions and everything one could get from War. Above all that she focused on the scent that was bombarding her nose, and it was the scent of blood!
Seeing her like this Liora smiled and spoke while shaking her head.
"This will be interesting. Alright let's get started, you four on the Devil and we will clear that barrier."
Hearing this the other moved out after watching Raven for a few more moments. Now, she stood alone, basking in the feeling she was getting from this War. After a moment she opened her eyes, and the pools of blood were now overflowing from her eyes. Literal blood tears were streaking down her face.
And through all of that she had an absurd smile on her face. She looked around and found Elara and Liora both already engaged with Humans. Seeing the two Saints currently being occupied she turned her attention to the other cultivators.
She then summoned a pair of blood red daggers and then she moved.
SHK!!!!
The moment she reappeared he dagger sliced throat of a human. She then continued to move from Human to Human, her movements looked graceful almost like she was dancing. Everywhere she passed by heads rolled and blood spilled. In minutes hundreds of Humans were killed effortless and during this time Raven's smile never left her face.
She then stopped in the middle of an encirclement. Her being an Early Saint cultivator was currently surrounded by hundreds of Humans ranging from Rebirth all the way to Peak Transcendent. Seeing this she activated her concept and a newly created skill.
|Concept of Blood Assimilation|
|Dao of Blood - Dao of Space-Time - Dao of Destruction - Dao of Lightning - Hemorrhagic Tempest|
HUMMMM!!!!!!
CRACKLEEEEE!!!!
BOOOOM!!!!
BOOOOM!!!!
BOOM!!!!!!!
The instant she activated this skill the blood of every target within her divine sense was instant extracted. It wasn't siphoned or slowly extracted, no, one moment it was inside their bodies flowing and the next it was floating in the space in a huge ball.
When the blood was extracted, Raven used the Dao of Space-time to warp space around her, creating a distortion in the fabrics of reality itself. This distortion provided defense to incoming attacks, and it also hindered the movement of those within her perception.
Raven then used the Dao of Lightning to infuse the blood with pure electrical energy. Once she did this the lightning infuse blood was hurled outward in waves. Every enemy that had her encircled was struck by violent arc that caused both physical and damage to the soul.
This all happened in mere moments and in the next second the entire encirclement was obliterated. Raven stood there with tears of blooding streaking down her face surrounded by flowing rivers of blood. She looked nothing like the sweet vampire, but instead she looked more devilish than the Devils.
She then moved again and continued to take the lives of Humans she encountered. Not only the humans, but she eventually turned her attention to the devils as well. The more she killed the more blood her eyes released. This lasted for hours on end, an endless massacre of everything that crossed her path.
Then her blood began to burn as if something was trying to release itself. She then flew upwards into the air and spread her arms wide as if welcoming a big hug.
HUMMMMM!
The moment her arms opened wide, every drop of blood that could perceive within 25 million meters floated towards her and then she spoke in a voice that sounded darker than usual.
"In the silence of the night, I call upon the essence of life itself—its pulse, its power. Watch as the blood of the world bends to my will, and the storm of infinity rises."
|Mandate of Bloody Empress|
|The Bleeding Void|
HUMMMM!!!!!
CRACK!!
The moment she activated this skill powered by her mandate, the blood she was controlling all converged and formed a crack in the space itself. This crack formed into a rift that seemed to look like a very small black hole.
This ability 'The Bleeding Void' it was something Raven created during seclusion. It could only be used when her Mandate is active because without it, she wouldn't be able to form a rift. Once this rift is activated Raven released a form of energy she named 'Bleeding energy'. It is a form of Blood Mana she came across that literally bleed the energy from beings.
As the rift formed the bleeding energy began to surge outwardly for millions of meters. All those caught in this energy found that not only their blood was being drained, but their very essence was drained, until nothing but void was left.
The skill didn't stay active for long and within a few seconds Raven had cleared more than 60% of the battlefield, Humans and Devils alike.
