The Blood King

3 days pa.s.sed since he left the imperial city, but because he was practicing the wind commandment, it would still take a few days before he reached the Divine country. " Huh?" He suddenly opened his eyes, a shocked expression on his face. " The seed of knowledge...i thought it had dissapeared since i couldn"t feel it for a while, but...it is in my chest? And what the h.e.l.l was that i just saw?" He muttered to himself.

" Wait, wait, wait...i shouldn"t even have a seed of knowledge anymore, but it stayed for a while even arter my Dandian was broken, but then it dissappeared...now it is in my chest, my heart specifically...what the h.e.l.l....." He thought, as he covered his mouth. " And what was it that i saw....it was like...a pinkish tunnel, with glowing yellow cracks or lines.." he mumbled. " Hmm, i should try to see it again, then try to figure out what it was....ngg!" He first opened his eyes wide, then squinted forcefully, but he was still unable to see that strange sight again. " I was absorbing qi when the seed of knowledge pulsated, leading me to find it, as well as see where ever that was...maybe absorbing qi would allow me to do so again?" He said, as he began absorbing qi once again, but again, nothing happened.

"....Whatever, i should use my resting time wisely." After multiple failures, he could only forget about it for the time being. " It seems your are exausted, child. One should know when to work, and when to rest." Levi suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice, causing him to get into a defensive position before he even opened his eyes. Before him was an old woman who wore a long black robe, with a large golden cross at the front. It fit her loosely as she placed her weight on a cane that looked like an ordinary stick. " What is the matter, child? What a malevolent expression, what a fearsome thurst for blood." The old woman spoke, as her gaze s.h.i.+fter to levi"s long black fingernails that were placed up to her neck.

" You....who-no...What are you..." Levi asked coldly. He didn"t hear a thing, nor did he feel anything, or smell anything. He was scared out of his skin, like a cat that was snuck up on. Cold sweat soaked his back, as his fingernails pressed against the old woman"s neck, but in the face of this, she just smiled. " I am meerly a believer, a member of The Church Of Believers. You must listen, child. Forgive. When you can spare a life, do so. When you can save a life, do so. You should not kill too much, because no one like"s to die." The old woman"s voice became softer as she walked down the trail. " What...how did she get there without me noticing!?" Levi woke up from his dazed state, his eyes becoming cold as he watched the woman"s figure become smaller. Since he recovered his breath, he decided to begin practicing the wind commandment again. He was still shaken, and since absorbing qi required a calm heart, he could only stop until he calmed down.

...

A few days later.

Crack! " hmm?" Levi looked down cautiously, only breathing out softly after seeing it was just a rotting branch that he stepped on. " You can never be too careful in this d.a.m.n place." He mumbled to himself. After a few days of running, he had entered the divine country again, but since he didn"t know the way to desolate mountain on foot, he flew. He had to stop a few times to rest, but reached the mountain in just a few hours. " My goal is to go to the inner mountain this time. The last time i was here, i fell unconcious, before waking up in the imperial city with a collar around my neck..." His eyes darkened at this thought.

He walked through the mountain, carefully watching his surroundings. Rustle! "..These d.a.m.n vines..." He mumbled as he returned his sabre to the spatial ring. "...Hmm?" He looked around in front of him for something. " It felt like i broke a string? Maybe i walked through a spiderweb? I have to be more careful." He thought, as a black flame appeared before his forehead, as tiny, almost transparent black threads weaved around his body. " Speaking of mental energy...demon saint!" Levi shouted. " I haven"t heard from that old demon for a while. Is he dead?" He thought, as he continued to walk.

" You..." A weak voice rang out in his head. " Huh? I can"t hear what you are saying." Levi said. " You...you....you! You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! HOW CAN YOU LOCK SOMEONE IN YOUR HEAD AND THEN FORGET ABOUT THEM?! HOW HEARTLESS, YOU DEMON!!" The demon saint"s pained voice rang out. "...How ironic. Why are you acting like you couldn"t call me?" Levi asked. " What do you mean, " acting"? These letters only light up when you call out to me! I was in this dark place with creepy letters without anything to do! It"s a miracle that i remained sane!" The demon saint shouted, sniffling ocasionally. " Were you ever sane?..." Levi thought silently as he ignored the Demon saint"s existence.

"....What....is this?" Levi"s eyes widened, as he looked down at a small village. Unlike the gloomy mountain he was on, this village had a small stream right beside it, with clear water flowing down it. They were some small fields growing what looked to be rice, and small wooden buildings, with a big one in the center. Surrounding this village, were multiple mountains. " I remember something about a village in desolate mountain...it was called...desolate village? But this village looks like it is doing as good, no, even better than normal villages? What exactly is-" Levi stopped talking and swiftly turned his head, as he took the saber from the spatial ring.

He stopped using mental energy, as he looked around. "..." He looked around silently. " Someone...or something is watching me, but where are they..." He thought, his golden eyes s.h.i.+fting swiftly. "!!" Swos.h.!.+ He quickly slashed out, but found that nothing was there. Puchi! " Hmmm?!" Looking down at his leg, a tiny black spider was biting into his leg through his robe. " Rise!" Blood energy rose at his thought, before surrounding the black spider, grinding it into nothingness. " What was that? Something told me to destroy it completely....that creepy pressence couldn"t have come from that tiny spider." Levi thought as he continued to look around cautiously.

Drip! Drip! Chi..

" What is that dripping sound? Hmm? Water is dripping from above?" He thought as he looked up. drip! chi! "....What...the f.u.c.k...is that...?" Levi looked up, only to see a large, pitch black spider with multiple mirror black eyes, standing upside-down on a large black web, while a grotesque liquid dripped from it"s fangs as they twitched. " Hmm?" A cizzling sound caused levi to look at his shoulder, as holes appeared in his robe. Drip! chi! "!!" Ting! The spider moved swiftly despite it"s large body, as it appeared beside Levi, who blocked it"s sharp legs with the sabre. " Disgusting..." Levi thought as he looked at the two fangs the size of human legs, along with the dark green liquid secreted by them. Puchu! A large line of black spider silk shot out, before landing on Levi"s chest.

" An extra leg underneath?!" Levi shouted with surprise as he jumped back. " Get off me!" He shouted, as he grew out his fingernails, ripping the silk from his chest. The pieces moved weirdly, as they became small black spiders the size of a palm. Puchi! " s.h.i.+t! So when i slashed out earlier, there was something coming at me! A thin thread of silk that somehow turned into a smaller spider! And cutting doesn"t kill them!" He thought, as all of his blood energy rose from his body and surrounded the spiders. " Ah...do these things also have venom? I"m starting to feel dizzy..." Levi held his face as he controlled his blood energy, making his spiraling blood s.h.i.+eld. Krigrigri! The spider released strange sounds.

" Are you laughing...you creepy f.u.c.ker..." Levi mumbled. Puchu! More black silk was shot out from the spider onto Levi"s blood s.h.i.+eld, before moving weirdly and turning into spiders the size of small buckets. Rip! Their sharp legs began ripping through the s.h.i.+eld slowly. " I can"t kill them by slas.h.i.+ng, so the sabre is useless...The best way to get rid of these things is to kill that big one, but it always keeps a certain distance, only attacking when i am not paying attention...ohh, that blood flame would come in handy right now, but i don"t know how to make it...maybe if i open up the s.h.i.+eld a little and look away it will come and attack me?" Levi thought, as he slowed one of the spirals, causing that part of the sheild to become thin. Krigrigri! Teng! "....Obviously that wouldn"t work...." Levi mumbled, as he looked at the blade like spider leg that was just inches away from his face.

" Come on..think, how to make blood flame...umm, burn!" Levi shouted, before waiting silently as nothing happened. " Blood flame...flame...you can make a fire by compressing qi a certain way, is it the same for this?" He mumbled as he gathered some blood energy above his palm. Riip! The spiders continued to rip through the s.h.i.+eld, as he compressed the blood energy in his palm. Rip!! " Hurry up!" He thought, as sweat dripped from his face. Puft! A tiny flicker appeared for a few seconds before disappearing. ".....Are you f.u.c.king....JOKING!?" Levi shouted as he looked at his now empty palm. "....On the bright side....at least i learned how to do it..." He said slowly.

Rip!!!

The s.h.i.+eld was full of holes as multiple black legs wiggled through them. " Alright....i just have to compress the blood energy of the s.h.i.+eld and turn it"s surface into blood flames, that should get rid of these things..." Levi himself didn"t notice, but he was begining to feel disgusted by the meer thought of spiders. boom!! krei!!! The sheild exploded outwards into blood flames as the spiders screched before burning into nothing. " c.r.a.p! I just wanted to turn the surface into blood flames, not the whole thing!" Levi looked at the spider, dark-eyed as if pleeding. Krigirguri! the spider made weird sounds, as it"s fangs twitched sinisterly.

Puchu!

Without moving, it shot more silk out, before panting lightly. " d.a.m.n, this spider is not taking any chances...it wants to make sure that i am dead before coming close to me.....i only have a little blood enegry left, not enough to make an adequate amount of blood flames to roast that spider, plus, i wouldn"t use blood flames to kill it either way, since nothing would be left of it." Levi thought as the spiders crawlled closer to him. " Then, i have to make use of my bloodline abilities and what little blood energy i have left, to kill this thing.." As he said this, a thick white smoke rose from his shoulders and legs, before forming two figures on either side of himself. Red lines appeared on his black fingernails, as they became pointed. Ant acid and venom dripped from his hands, before floating into the air and foming multiple blobs. Blood wings sprouted from his back, as black and red lines spread all over them. His vision blurred, before returning as different colors, as his infrared vision activated. " I don"t think i can use all of these at once for a long time, but...i want to kill this thing as soon as possible, it"s d.a.m.n creepy." Levi mumbled as he kept his eyes on the large red light.
