Oh , you really think you could take me on because i show you some respect, now that your weird sword got destroyed let's see who have the bigger punch , he then began to speak in some weird language but the words he spoke affected the area around both of us .
We were both engulfed by the darkness around us and he actually disappeared from my sight but his taunting voice continued : Hope you like it in here since you will be spending quite a lot of time in my realm of darkness .
~Puff~ Domain Of Darkness and now the realm of darkness what is next the plane of Darkness , i involuntarily chuckled and thought of my previous encounter with the now naked assassin from before .
But even though i had a Dark Vision i wasn't able to pinpoint his location and failed to do the same with my senses so i guess i will just have to hope that he won't attack me with a magical spell right from the start .
~CLANK~ the sword in my hand or to be more exact the handle in my hand now and my body moved suddenly and involuntarily as if it was possessed or something and blocked the attack that was coming from behind me and was able to block using a weird angle too , Hunter's Instinct is really something else .
I then tried to use the handle as a weapon to attack that thing but it again vanished from my sight , then i began to hear his teasing voice saying : you must be blind by now yet you can still block my attacks but my next attack will be unstoppable , it was a pleasure meeting you but i'm in quite hurry so we will have to wrap this up.
Theearth beneath me began to tremble , i stored the sword handle as i believe it won't be of any help in the next attack the trembling earth stopped then a few seconds later the dark scene was illumined by the arrival of something that was flashing with red lights while creating holes in the ground beneath me then suddenly a huge mouth began to appear and disappear from the holes like hit the mole game i used to play .
I don't know why i connected what is happening to a game in my previous life but it just came to my mind , i wondered about if i should recall the handle again but decided not to in the end .
It took quite the amount of energy to conjure this parting gift for you, so you really need to be grateful .
Then one of those heads actually appeared from behind me and charged at me but what answered him was a clear punch that was able to shatter it completely and covered my hands in blood .
I was about to charge at the other heads while i'm at it but then felt as if i lost connection to the hand that just struck that face from earlier and the feeling came from the entire hand, it was still connected to my body i can see it was but it was as if it wasn't actually there anymore and me losing my connection with it meant that i wasn't able to actually move it anymore , something that shocked me to the core .
I used Healing Magic skill but there was still no response, i saw it then actually turning blue then it actually moved on its own and tried to choke me but it was stopped by my other hand , and i felt the scene quite strange but also quite funny and most of all felt bizarre .
But the other blood heads won't just stand down to watch the funny scene that was happening as each and every blood like head began to attack me and learning from the my actions just now i tried to evade them and tried not to attack them directly but it was quite difficult now without the effects of the Frosted Edge and them using this realm of darkness as a hiding palace .
I kept jumping around trying to evade while also watching who was wining between my two hands and luckily it was my good right hand that was doing something like trying to strangl the other hand by clutching it from the shoulder as if trying to cut its blood circulation .
And it actually worked as i began to see a few black like small creatures falling down from my hands then they directly disintegrated and died , then my hand began to return to its previous color and shape all this happening in seconds, i stopped the Obsidian Armor skill then activated it again and began to think of how to defeat those guys without the need to deal with those nasty little creatures and the big ones responsible for them too .
So you figured out how to break free from effect of my Blood Bonding technique and in quite a few seconds too, amazing , let me now see how you deal with the rest .
And if they were giving the order to attack, the swarm of those heads began heading towards me while fusing with each other or more likely swallowing each other until they become a one enormous sized red like blood head and opened its huge mouth at me .
And i can swore that i saw shadows and silhouettes of humans and other creatures who i presumed to be the original owners of the blood used in creating this weird monster, all were screaming and they looked to be in a quite agonizing pain but they were again being absorbed by the thing in front of me, leaving only their sorrowful screams as they begin to combine with the head again .
I was so angry that the earth was beginning to tremble beneath me, Earth Tremble, yeah that's right i could use Earth Slide to turn things around in my favor and if it didn't work ,i will be forced to go through the same experience from before .
I parred the few blood needles that it was shooting at me then i activated Rock Slide 20 times in less than a second and the whole cave we were in began to shook and the ground that was already filled with holes began to completely crack .
Making a enough big hole to completely contain that bloody enormous head after it was pierced and deformed by some pointed rocks falling from the ceiling their numbers were a bit much than i anticipated .
And a few of them even fell down on me but Hunter's Instinct helped me again in dealing with them there were some uncalled for accidents but in the end i believe that this improvised plan of mine actually worked , i then saw the creature began to disintegrate back into blood and beside the blood pool now created in the hole i made to contain him a a dark red streak suddenly appeared and begin to move fast in some direction .
Not missing a beat, i quickly began to follow the only red streak of blood that was being the only thing still glowing in this weird black abyss, having no doubt about where was it heading to .
I thought that it was weird that the voice of that Bloodlord felt as if it was coming from a great distance, but now that i was following the blood streak i completely understood that he wasn't inside the realm of darkness since quite a while , i used Stealth and Camouflage and continue to follow that streak of blood .
4 seconds later i began to hear a laughing voice coming from quite the distance which acted as a kind of acknowledgment of how loud was his laughing voice was and as i got more close i began to hear him saying : hahahaha, that old guy really thought that i was afraid of him, pity.
With my technique i could have turned him into a quite loyal servant, and he may have linked his soul to his clone like i did, which could have meant that if i enslaved his soul here, it could have an impact on his soul on the Real World , pity he either dead or going to be so soon .
Oh, my Blood Link have come back and he should have swallowed enough blood from that old man to cover my losses , come here .
I was now able to see him more clearly he opened his arms as if it was waiting for the blood streak to come and join him unaware of the dangers that it brought to him by coming here .
Wasting no time i began to use every ounce of strength i can gather and took a punching stance still quite a far from him but was now easily able to see where he was , i waited for the perfect opportunity to finish this once and for all and to decide the victory in this one attack .
And the right moment came shortly after too,when the blood streak began to sunk in his body and even under that weird cloth he was wearing , he flashed with red light that was enough to illuminate the surrounding area completely and that when i decided to strike .
I directly teleported in front of him and unleashed my overcharged punch and struck him in the chest unbeknownst to me that this was the same place that the previous streak of blood was currently stored in and when my punch landed the impact of the punch alone allowed my punch to go through his chest and send him flying .
Complete silence, that what exactly happened before it being broken a few seconds later by the shrilling scream of agony that Bloodlord released then as if he realized something else he then began to curse saying : you destroyed my Blood Link you damn monster, even if you didn't kill me here,i will have no choice but to self destruct you bastard, you will be hunted down by every member of our race through all over the Real World, i curse you a billion times,i curse you, i curse you, i curse yooooou .
I told you before, didn't i ?!! , you have much innocent blood on your hands, so forgot about escaping here .
You are dead, even without my Blood Link , i swear that i will stop at nothing to hunt you down and kill yoou .
With that he stood up and his chest began to heal and regenerate at a speed noticable to the naked eyes after he finished healing he started to sprint towards me and i felt that his whole demeanor suddenly changed as if i was fighting a whole different person .
And for the first time since the fight began he unleashed his killing intent which wasn't like anything that i saw before, it was able to materialize in a big red shadow with massive jaws behind him looking intently at me as if wanting to devour me, the air now felt suffocating and depressing .
I don't even need to see his face to know that he was currently mad angry but i was currently focusing more on the huge shadow behind him who was glaring at me i'm not quite sure but i do believe that he wasn't just a shadow formed by the accumulating of killing intent but it actually did have something akin to a corporal form as since it appeared the air had become heavy and even the area around it began to glitch as if the space itself was tearing by its existence .
But then that shadow began to sunk in the body of the opponent and was actually beginning to enlarge his body size to the point that i was now a head shorter than him so he was at least taller than 4 meters and the cloth he was wearing actually began to recede its covering and now mainly acted as an engulfing armor acting like a second skin like my centipede armor around his chest, torso, legs, hands .
Meaning that i was now able to see him more clearly, his eyes were currently glowing red completely maybe out of anger , his hair was long to the point of reaching his shoulders and was so dark that i felt that light was being absorbed by it , his skin complexion was pale white, his nose was a bit pointy and his ears were a bit longer than normal humans but no earlobes, the most distinctive features would be his long fangs and big jaws and his body which was now big and filled with muscles and was releasing some weird aura .
He looked like a vampire to me or at least that's what i was thinking .
I already told you not to compare us with those bloody bats but you just didn't listen ,Die under my Wings Of Damnation , he suddenly opened his mouth and said as if he was roaring and suddenly a pair of huge black bat like wings sprouted from his back and he again disappeared from my sight but this time he appeared instantly in front of me with his whole body now flashing with red light and was actually crossing his wings in front of him like a spear and came straight at me as if wanting to pierce through me like i did to him .
But my Obsidian Armor wasn't just for showing, i was able to take the attack head on to the chest and the impact of our strength clashing began to wreck havoc on the cave destroying and remolding every rock formation in the vicinity .
I then tried to catch those wings of his but with how fast they were going , i made a incorrect judgment which led to my hands to get slightly injured but how shouldn't i be vulnerable to physical attacks, wasn't that just now a physical attack , could it be another weird racial trait of his .
My Hunter's Instinct then came into action as i suddenly parred to the side and he was continuing in going in straight line when i crossed my hands in a hammer fist and smashed it on his back , again rocking the whole cave and creating a massive crater in the earth beneath us where he was currently residing in , the cave shaking wasn't stopping as the new impact threatened to destroy the whole cave .
~Cough~ ~cough~ he was coughing blood but was still stuck to the ground, i took this as a chance to continue my assault so i jump landed on the center of the crater where he was currently laying trying to finish him off with a squishing kick but he actually woke up and turned over to parry the kick but luckily i have well balanced so i controlled my strength at the last moment so not to deal more damages to the interior of the cave .
I glanced at the figure still laying on the ground and who was still glaring at me and smiled and said :
You already said that you will self destruct anyway so why don't give me the honor to finish you myself .
Which he replied to by saying still roaring but this time weakly since the last attack did quite the severe damages to him :
You destroyed my Blood Link and i already swore to avenge this humiliation now and in the future , do you actually dare to say your real name and await for my wrath .
Oh, i didn't introduce myself huh,my name is Blazan and i'm the demon king around here .
He looked at me weirdly and without saying anything else we resumed our fighting with him trying to parry my barrage of punches while he was saying something in the same weird language from before , but i was then incapable of continue my offense as i felt as if my whole body was being restrained by something and it was truly so .
My limbs were now covered by a weird lines and symbols that i very much believed them to be the work of the Bloodlord who was now standing up while having an arrogant grin on his face saying :
how do you find the taste the taste of my blood binding technique, was it to your liking, not only would it stop you from moving but will also absorb your blood and keep doing so until you are completely dead, and the best part is that there's nothing you can do about... it, how ? .
The weird lines began to actually disappear or to be more accurate began to broke apart while he was still explaining that it was impossible for me to break.
His body began to shook while he pointed at me while he was retreating and asked : you, what is your Rank ? .
I didn't know how to answer that but he said something about Rulers and Emperors and since he believed me to be someone from their world, i don't know any reason stopping me from acting as such .
I cleared my throat and and began to came closer to him before saying : I'm a Grand Emperor figure in the Real World .
Which left him dumbstruck and quite open for my next attack which was aimed at his head and just a second before my punch shattering his face i was able to see that his eyes were now have two clear distinctive emotions one was awe and the second was horror and then he died , with his head being crushed into pieces .
Phew, i took a breath of relief and then wasted no time in collecting anything that was of value on him but found nothing other than that Veil Of Darkness of his and suddenly the whole cave began to shook again and lightening began to brew in the sky so much that i was able to hear its deafening sounds all the way down there so i wasted no time even though my brain was killing me i decided to leave this place first before getting some rest, since i had this bad intuition that kept looming over my head , i was just about to make my way up when i saw something flashing in the body of that vampire that i just killed and the bad intuition in my heart increased so i hurriedly went to check what it was .
A big mana core that was actually becoming bigger by the second and i fully understood where was the bad feeling i felt coming from ? .
I hurriedly got out of that cave and a second later nothing happened could i have made a wrong assumption then a defending explosion occurred and the cave in front of me and the area around it fully exploded and were being scorched now, luckily my brain protected me from the explosion otherwise, i too would have been toasted .
suddenly a familiar voice came ringing in my head : congratulationsyou leveled up ×4 .
You have gained the Sub Active Skill Blink Sword .
Your Passive Skill Novice Swordsmanship has reached Max Level .
I paid it no mind and completely collapsed on the floor, and finally understood why should i invest in both my spirit and comprehension even more .
I woke up at feeling of the scorching sun on my face even though the mask and looked at the devastating scene around me and saw trees that were scorched and the once lush red area was now completely yellowish as if every sign of life that was once in the area got obliterated overnight, that vampire's parting gift was really something else .
Now, i believe that i had enough adventures for one day, i should head to the next safe zone and teleport back to Trond and certainly should think deeply about what had occurred and the new information i got, if they could be considered information and not new mysteries but after i got some a bit of rest .
