Blood demon leveling - 139 Adventurers faction

“So… How exactly have you been treating my wife?”

“O-O-Of course we’ve been treating her with respect and dignity—”

“You call drafting my servants, thereby making me powerless and then trying to marry me off to another man that I have never met treating me with dignity and respect!”

Mike heard what Julie said, he really did, he could feel her frustration and helplessness, no doubt this had driven her to her breaking point unknowingly his mana began churning as a near primal rage took over as he appeared before the old man and grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up into the air

“Give me one reason why I shouldn’t end you right now”

The old man struggled to breathe, but eventually, he managed to stammer out

“I wasn’t… The one that… Made the decision…”

“Oh? Then who, pray tell, is it I have to slaughter today?”

Just then a strong pressure descended over Mike as an aged voice spoke out

“Now now young man, why don’t you calm down a bit?”

Mike looked over and saw an old woman that had appeared, she was floating mid-air, but that wasn’t what made Mike’s instincts ring, it was the fact that he had not noticed her before she spoke, it was like she was one with the world around her, even as she was just floating there and breathing it seemed that the entire world was breathing with her, still, Mike kept his angry expression and spoke

“And why would I do that? Do you think I brought a dragon for a friendly visit?”

The old women narrowed her aged eyes before she asked

“Then why did you bring a dragon?”

“To get an explanation. On. How. You. Treated. My. Wife.”

“I see… Well the Helia family will explain, but first, we need to know who we’re explaining ourselves to”

‘Danm nobles and their pride…’

Mike narrowed his eyes and began churning his mana, as he did his horns glowed in blue light as the edges of his irises gradually began turning blue, however, he didn’t notice this, nor did anyone else he simply kept raising his circulations, soon they climbed to about 300 circulations and finally the expression of the old woman changed slightly before she spoke

“I am pleased to see a bright youngster, but that didn’t answer my question, who exactly are you?”

“Mike”

“Mike? No family name?”

“Not one that matters to you anyway”

“Heh… And you think you can demand an explanation from the Helia family just by bringing a dragon to our home?”

“yep… that I do”

“Ehehehe! It seems your dragon is real… I would rather not confront a dragon by myself, state your demands!”

“I take Julie with me”

“Is that all..?”

“All that matters”

The old woman let out another creepy laugh before she spoke

“Fine, leave, and never return!”

Mike didn’t waste time he took Julie into his embrace and flapped his wings bringing him and Julie up into the air over the city as he grit his teeth while giving one last look at the old woman as he swore in his mind

‘I will kill you, you old bitch!’

Then he flapped his wings and flew away, Azroth let out a final roar before he followed after Mike, down on the ground the old woman stood with a nasty smile on her face as she spoke to Julie’s grandfather

“Sebastian dear, send word to the Uglalian family that their bride to be has been kidnapped by one Mike”

“Yes matriarch”

The old woman let out another laughter before she disappeared from view leaving behind an eerie voice

“You should have thought of this boy, now the Uglalian family will come for your head!”

Mike flew with Julie in his arms, she was snuggled up to him with her arms around his neck as she suddenly asked

“Where did you go, Mike?”

Mike thought for a moment before he began speaking on how he returned to his old world

“—And so when I left I took the lives of a couple of hundred million people, bringing me to level 7”

“I see… Well, it’s good that you are back to me now, what about the servants I bright with me to the Helia family?”

Á cold glint flashed in Mike’s eyes

“They’re dead to me, they didn’t protect you so they failed, I have just ordered them dead”

“I see… What a waste”

“Yeah, though don’t worry I have a new force building”

“Why didn’t you say that to the matriarch of the Helia family?”

“Well… One should not show all of their cards at once”

“Hehe… Mike…”

Julia snuggled further into Mike’s embrace like a spoiled kitten as she muttered his name, she was over the moon, after all, she had just gone from a potentially bleak future to benign reunited with the love of her life, one she thought she had lost…

After flying for a few days the three of them returned to Mike’s main force, Mike introduced Julia to them as their mistress, then the two of them retreated to their own tent where they just lay on the bed for a few hours in each other embrace in silence as the night passed, it was only by the next morning when Julie opened her eyes again Mike began talking to her about the plan henceforth

“So… You already managed to piss off a faction?”

“They pissed me off first”

“Yeah that they did, scum, they deserve to die painful deaths!”

“Yeah so let’s work on that shall we?”

Julie showed a smile, a wide one at that before she spoke again

“Fine, but can I get some blood first? I’ve been surviving off animal and monster blood for the past half year and I am dying for some human blood”

“Sure, let’s find some blood for you then… I was thinking of heading to a dungeon to get you up to level 7 first though?”

“Yeah let’s do that… I don’t like being behind in level”

And so with their plan for the further set, the convoy began moving towards the edge of the continent again, back out of family-controlled territories and out to the faction-controlled territory, as for why they didn’t stay in the family-controlled territory it was simple, the families controlled all the dungeons in the area and monopolized them, they needed to west to the Adventures factions territory where they would join their faction and use their dungeons to level up Julie while slowly taking over the Adventures faction while chipping away at the Slaverunners and so about a month on the road later they arrived in the center of the Adventures factions controlled territory, a dungeon city know as Allmark, Julie jumped down from the carriage and stretched before she looked around, the city was bustling with adventure types, all heading towards the center of the city where the dungeon was, it was understandable, they had after all arrived in the morning in the middle of the morning rush, Mike stepped out of the carriage and looked around before he muttered

“Now where does one register…”

Mike sent a mental message to his servants that soon set off to gather information, but soon after someone walked up to him and spoke

“You must be new here, are you looking to register?”

Mike looked over the person, he seemed like a swordsman around level 5, Mike nodded as he spoke

“Yeah, know where I can register?”

“Oh that’s in the west end of the city, you have to head that way down the main street, then it’ll be on your left-hand side, big building with a sword and shield sign hanging off the side, can’t miss it”

“Oh… Thanks”

Mike gave the adventure a few coins for the trouble before he walked off towards the guild together with Julie, arm in arm, Julie looked around the streets with curious eyes, all this seemed very new to her, Mike asked

“Didn’t you have time to sightsee when you arrived?”

“No, besides this is the first time I’ve seen it with you so it’s all new to me”

“I see.. Looks like it’s the building over there, let’s head inside”

“Sure”
