Blood demon leveling - Chapter 152
“[Hellsword]!”
Julie opened her hand as she was plummeting towards the ground, soon she felt her faithful companion in her gasp and tightened her grip on the [hellsword], then she flapped her wings once adding a spin to her fall which continued for about half a second before she slashed into the enemy soldier in front of her, the level 7 soldier tried to block with their sword which was slashed cleanly through along with the rest of their body, Julie followed the body down, behind her flew 3 Wind spirits which she had personally trained, then a few moments later she raised her sword and slashed down on another opponent, the enemy general, he managed to block the first slash with his magic artifact sword, the sword, however, wasn’t doing so well, he sensed danger from the non-human in front of him and correctly tried to get some distance, however, the 3 Wind spirits that were following Julie blocked off his escape path, and soon he was driven into a corner, Julie showed a smile and yelled
“[Hellwalker]!”
The general’s shadow seemed to come alive and latched onto his legs as Julie’s speed suddenly increased two-fold as she suddenly slashed out and severed the head of the general, as she did she received a mental message from Mike
“How’s it coming along?”
Julie showed a smile and picked up the served head before she spoke
“I just finished”
“…Nice, then do the honors”
Julie flew into the air holding the head high as she yelled for all to hear
“The human general is dead!”
At that moment the humans faltered and silence descended upon the battlefield, this silence was broken by a distant roar, those that turned towards the sound saw it, an army, nay a horde of over 1000 Wind spirits were charging at the human forces from the east, they looked like wind animals as they charged, it didn’t matter who the first human soldier to run was, for about a minute later they were all fleeing, the horde of Wind spirits gave chase along with the swarm, no doubt the retreating human forces would have a hard time as they were being run down by Blood-hungry Wind spirits…
“…Are you sure it’s wise to give chase?”
Mike shrugged before he spoke
“My superior cursed the Wind spirits with a curse when she took over, want to hear what kind of curse it is?”
“…What kind of curse?”
“The curse of immortality”
Hannibal let out a snort as he remained silent, clearly, he didn’t believe Mike, Mike spoke
“Come, let’s inspect the battlefield”
Hannibal eventually nodded and then the two of them flew over the battlefield, at first Hanibal was calm, but after a while, his face turned ugly before he asked, or rather yelled
“What the fuck is going on here!?”
“What do you mean..? Oh, the feasting…. Well I have received the rights of any dead enemy soldiers per agreement with your king, so I don’t think it’s your right to question me”
Eventually, Hanibal swallowed the words down he was about to say and sighed before he muttered
“Is it really necessary to consume dead soldiers?”
“No, not really… They do it for fun”
Hannibal showed a disgusted look but kept silent, then Mike pointed down and spoke
“Look there”
Hannibal looked down and saw a Wind spirit that seemed to have been impaled by a spear, the spear had penetrated her heart and she was dead, soon another Wind spirit came over and pulled out the spear before she lightly slapped the dead Wind spirit in the face, then just as Hanibal had just about enough something crazy happened, the dead Wind spirit opened her eyes and began breathing violently as she coughed up blood
“What the fuck…?”
“As I said, they have been cursed with immortality”
Hannibal looked over at Mike for a bit with a complicated expression before he asked
“Cursed?”
“Yeah, have you ever died before? Of course, you haven’t, well it is an awful experience, and to heal their wounds raw flesh is needed, thus the consumption of dead soldiers, that said a Wind spirit will seek out raw flesh normally without being injured”
“…So they prefer raw flesh?”
“Yeah, human, non-human or beast, as long as its raw flesh it’s all good for them… I brought you out here for you to realize that the old Wind spirit race is long gone and I expect you to tell your soldiers the same if attacked or otherwise provoked my soldiers will fight and kill, and if they are killed they will simply just get angry”
“…What about you?”
“Well I’ve died once so far, But I have suffered more pain than you can imagine”
“…I’ll remember this… And inform my soldiers, don’t worry, you have my word”
“That’s good… I wish for the Wind spirits and the Fire iron race to have a friendly relationship…”
As Mike spoke Julie flew up and joined them, Miek gave her a smile and spoke to Hanibal
“This is my wife, Julie… She’s the one that slew the enemy general”
“That’s… An impressive feat for a level 7 to slay a level 8”
Julie showed a smile as she humbly shook her head and spoke
“It’s all thanks to the power I have received”
Hannibal’s smile waved for just a moment before he spoke
“I see…”
After most of the cleaning was done on the battlefield Mike matched into the city along with the 1600 Wind spirits, he walked in the font along with Julie as the citizens of the city cheered them on, the Wind spirits matched with a precision you would normally only find in Mike’s old-world which proved very impressive to watch when they arrived at the plaza in front of the lord’s mansion they lined up in rows before they began to release their blood lust which made the cheering crowds silent, then Mike descended from the sky and landed in front of the Wind spirits facing the lord’s mansion and yelled
“WE OFFER THIS VICTORY TO BEEL, OUR FAIR LADY AND SAVIOR!”
The WInd spirits echoed the chant
“”””””””””WE OFFER THIS VICTORY TO BEEL, OUR FAIR LADY AND SAVIOR!””””””””””
Mike showed a smile as he began chanting in an unknown language, as he did the soil around the city which had been soaked in blood over the siege began vibrating before Mike finally finished the chant with something which could be understood
“[Blood domination: Offering]!”
As he did the bloodsoaked soil around the city, as well as any spilled blood inside the city began floating upwards as if liberated from gravity, then it gathered in the air directly above Mike before a tear in space opened up and sucked in all the blood, Mike showed a smile as he collapsed in Julie’s embrace and drifted off to a peaceful sleep
In his sleep, Mike appeared in front of Beel, the elder demon, she looked very pleased, after all, Mike had just delivered all that blood to her which had made her in a good mood as she praised
“Well done child… Well done indeed; if you perform another 56 similar sized blood offerings to me I’ll be able to manifest in your world permanently”
Mike bowed down as he spoke
“It’s my honor to serve you elder”
Beel nodded before she suddenly remembered something and bit her finger which made a single drop of dark red blood float out in between her and Mike as she showed a sinister smile and waved her hand before the drop of blood floated over and landed in the middle of Mike’s forehead leaving behind a mark in the form of a dark red triangle before she spoke
“Now that you are marked you are in essence my kin… This will allow you to convert the rest of your blood to elder blood… Along with a few other things which I am sure you don’t want me to spoil for you”
Then before Mike had a chance to respond he faded off to sleep…
When Mike awoke he was inside a room on a very soft bed, he opened his eyes and blinked a few times before he sat himself up and looked around, or at least that was what he tried to do as a pair of hands covered his eyes from behind, Mike showed a smile and laid his hands onto the hands and spoke
“You’re supposed to say guess who?”
“…Guess who~?”
“Julie”
“Correct! Come collect your prize”
Mike removed Julie’s hands and looked over his shoulder at her, she wore… Well nothing and had her arms wide open with a sweet smile on her face as she sat on her legs, Mike leaned back and laid himself down into her blossom before he looked up and asked in all seriousness
“Wanna cuddle?”
Julie giggled lightly before she nodded with a light blush on her face, Mike showed a slightly ‘hungry’ smile before he spoke
“Well then… come here!
“Kya~~~!”
