Bloody Emperor - Chapter 4 Darkest Days

Nero would like to kiss Sarah for days. But they had a vengeance to launch on two worlds.

A long way where they will have many moments to enjoy each other. But now Nero had to suck the rest of Sarah’s blood and absorb her soul.

Sarah couldn’t help but smile as Nero sucked her all over. Sarah had an extreme sure that Nero as a vampire with the Dark Soul Stone, could one day throw the whole Endless Divine Kingdom into hell. And then they will kill all those who participated in the fall of their race of Dragons.

Sarah began to pass her soul into Nero’s body. Her conscience entered his heart, and of course, that would not be possible if Nero resisted, but his body would never be hostile to her, courtesy of her Spirit Qi.

Sarah soon found herself in a red world, and the view seemed endless, a dark red floor, and a bright red sky. Dark Soul Stone, it is worthy of a ‘Cursed Relic,’ was among many things that are also the greatest spacial treasure in the universe. With this world of space, Nero could store kingdoms and even other small planets like the Earth.

While Sarah marveled at the red world, Nero finished sucking her body. He looked down at that perfect body, now so pale with no more blood. She had closed eyes and a silly smile on her face. Nero was sad for a moment before remembering that is just the beginning of their partnership that would last forever.

Nero kissed Sarah’s body cold lips, and she blushed in the red world. She could feel his sadness, even if it was only the loss of her mortal body. There were many ways to get a new body in the Endless Divine Kingdom. But she respected Nero’s feelings, and she couldn’t be happy herself seeing her own lifeless body.

“You can control the space of Dark Soul Stone with the mind. Just tap and think of sending something in or think of something that is inside, and it will instantly transport to you.”

“Send my body inside, when you have time, can give me a tumble.”

Nero followed Sarah’s instructions, and with the thought, Sarah’s body entered the red world.

“I’m going to give your body a good tumble Sarah, jus-”

Nero stopped talking, surprised. He was focused on Sarah’s body as he sent it into red space when he realized that upon entering it, it had stopped deteriorating. Of course, the Dark Soul Stone is fantastic. In this ample storage space can not keep living creatures, but all else, and nothing ruins there as if the time did not affect things there.

“Yes, I see. The poison does not affect my body here. That’s great, but still, I can only get back to this body when we cure this poison. It’s a seven-color poison, one of the strongest of Endless Divine Kingdom.”

Sarah was happy, but Nero could still feel in her voice that it would not be easy to cure this poison.
for visiting.

“Sarah, don’t think about it too much. A stupid poison can’t stop our partnership. Soon you will be in your body again. and we will continue from the kiss.”

Sarah blushed profoundly, listening to Nero. But she couldn’t help but have that silly smile, she had lived for 400 years herself, but she was like a little girl with her first love. Waiting for a few more decades would be no big deal.

As a flushed Sarah thought of a thousand things that were not about revenge, Nero walked through the rubble of what was left of the castle. The sun had already risen with lightning penetrating the broken places in the ceiling.

Nero tried to find parts of his family’s bodies, but the silver attacks were too brutal for ordinary vampires. After losing a large part of the body, the silver still corroded them until nothing remained.

Nero kept walking through the broken castle until he reached Amelie’s room, even with some broken walls, her bed still complete, with her sweet smell on the air. Smelling his beloved sister scent, Nero burned with fury. His eyes went from red to black.

Sending her bed, wardrobes, and other Amelie’s stuff to the red world, Nero left the castle. He also got a bed for Sarah. Even though she was a spirit, he wanted her to feel the best she could in the red world.

“Sarah, tell me all I can do with my new body and this Qi that you gave me.”

Then Sarah began to explain the basic knowledge of the cultivation world. She said that Qi was a mystical force that could be used in infinite ways. No one could claim to know all kinds of Qi or know all about it. Every second, some cultivators somewhere in the universe made new discoveries about Qi.

To get revenge against these normal humans, he didn’t need much knowledge. Sarah began by talking about how Qi improved his entire body, increasing his strength, speed, and senses several times. Since Nero’s body was already much stronger than any race, even in the second layer of Qi Refinement, it already had an explosive force more significant than a normal human of Qi Refinement sixth layer.

Sarah said that each cultivator was more compatible with some attributes, some genial cultivators are compatible with more than one attribute, but it all depends on their level of compatibility.

“I am fully compatible with fire and light, like my father…”

Nero could feel the sadness in Sarah’s voice, and that was his sadness as well. He will wait until she is comfortable to tell her story. There are no secrets between them, but some things are still too painful for Sarah to remember.

Sarah continued, she said that Nero would have to plunge his conscience into his Dantian to understand what his main attribute was. When cultivators absorb Qi, from nature or otherwise, that Qi passes through their meridians and becomes the Qi of their main attributes.

Nero focused on his Dantian. Soon he found himself in a red room, not too big, with dark walls from which dripped a red liquid like blood, but with no smell.

In the center of the room was a fist-sized orb that was made of red material that is like blood. This orb floated in a beam of bright light, red too. Nero could not help thinking that his main attribute should be blood.

Nero approached the ball of blood, and when he was less than ten steps from the red-light beam, he began to hear a beating sound, similar to a heart. Nero was startled but still, come closer to touch the orb.

When Nero’s hand was almost touching the orb, he felt that all his blood was stirring, even though his body was only a spiritual representation. He could not enter his real body into his Dantian, which is in his own body.

Before Nero’s hand touched the orb, it moved and joined with his hand. Nero felt a familiar presence from that malleable red mass. It was hot and cold at the same time, but he felt it like part of his body. As if he lost a hand and years later the re-encounter and it joined perfectly in his body, he was complete again now.

The orb, which turned into a mass, ran animated for Nero’s body. It was like a child reconnecting with their lost parents. The more it played, the more excited it becomes.

Nero didn’t know what to do with this mass, so he stopped concentrating and left the Dantian with his mind. When he found himself in the normal world, the mass was still running through his body. He didn’t know what to do, it was like having a dog that won’t stop biting you, and you don’t know how to get rid of him.

“It’s cute. You’re so lucky to have a ‘Qi Guardian,’ don’t make that bad look of who suffered a significant loss, you idiot!!”

Sarah was not the most patient teacher in the world. But she was happy for Nero. A “Qi Guardian” was much rarer than cultivators with two or more attributes. These cute little things were more than the perfection of Qi compatibility. With them, the cultivators hardly used advanced techniques, for the Qi Guardians is the very manifestation of Qi and could assume all the forms their master wanted.

Sarah continued, explaining to Nero that he had only to command by his senses, and the red mass would follow the flow. Then he wished it would disappear, and the mass entered his body as if it was nothing. There was no change in Nero’s body, but he could still feel the mass in him as if it was an additional but invisible member that was not even a bit uncomfortable.

“Only you can learn along your Qi Guardian, how to use it as a weapon, or anything else.”

Sarah wanted to help Nero in everything she could, but Qi Guardians are something only their owners can understand, and she didn’t even have one. What unfair world, as she a noble Dragon Princess, does not have a Qi Guardian?

Following the teachings of his beautiful and cute teacher, Nero thought of a sword. Vampires love swords like ordinary men love cars.

Nero swung the sword from side to side like a fool, not knowing what to do. Sarah rolled her eyes at the red world. It was clear that Nero didn’t know how to use a sword with his changed body. He trained a long time with swords, but now his body is over 100 times faster and stronger. He needs to retrain from the beginning to be able to handle a sword well again.

So Nero thought about what might be more useful now. And then he looks at his hands. Vampires had sharp and hard nails that grew longer when they get excited by combat. These nails were already an excellent combat weapon, but what if…

Sarah was surprised when Nero’s arm began to shine, the red mass rising from his elbow toward his hand, forming gauntlet that had huge claws.

“What a beautiful masterpiece!!! For behaving so well, I’ll call you ‘Little Red’.”

Nero smiled like an idiot, wiggling those giant claws that shine with so sharp is.

Sarah lost count of how many times she rolled her eyes at the nonsense of this strange vampire. At times he was so cold but at others so intense that she wants to dig a hole and hide.

Nero was happy with the monstrous gauntlet that ‘Little Red’ could turn, stronger than the best steel, and sharp as light. He didn’t need any training with this glove, as it was like moving his own fingers. He could already imagine taking a human by the neck with this demonic gauntlet.

_________________________________

A week later, Nero had become accustomed to his body in strength and speed. His synchronization with ‘Little Red’ was also more than Sarah could have expected for such a short time.

Nero at full speed turned into a shadow, and it was impossible for any human to follow him with their eyes even if he slowed to half. His strength was sufficient to break any earth metal alloy with a finger without the Demonic Gauntlet.

It wasn’t that Nero was invincible anywhere. Just the Earth as a world without Cultivation has no longer a danger to him that had learned so much about Qi from Sarah.

Nero looked up at the sky, pointing his Demonic Gauntlet and closed his fingers into a fist. In his favorite kind of black suit, which made him look like a noble steampunk prince, making Sarah blush with wrong thoughts at the wrong time and in the wrong place.

“It’s time to start my revenge. Will you still be the same about me, Sarah? Even after I kill all humans on this planet? Many of them will be ‘innocent’ and children…”

“I’m not here to judge and would never do that with you. We are a partnership, your revenge also mine as well as the contrariwise, right?”

“Yes, partner, now let’s get our hands dirty. For the damn humans, today begins their darkest days…”
