The Dark Demon Lord - Chapter 75

“ARG! MY EYES!” Arnin screamed in agony. Although he had extremely high tolerance towards pain, to the point that torture had no effect on him, however the current pain the was going through his body was intense, especially the pain in his eyes.

He had lost so much blood that even his body was skinnier than before. He looked like a shriveled, bloody corpse that had just been drained.

‘Blood! I need blood, or I will die! But how?!’ Arnin was in a state of confusion. He didn’t want to begin drinking others blood because of the chance of his own body being contaminated and causing further damage.

‘W-wait! Blood Cultivation! I can cultivate blood in order to heal!’ Arnin came to sudden realization and stopped panicking. All he needed to do was absorb blood essence which help to heal his own body. Plus, with such a battlefield, Arnin knew that obtaining what he wanted would be as easy as breathing. Blood riddled the whole place.

Calming his mind, Arnin brought his hands beside him. His body was still trembling under the pain of his eyes, however he was much more relaxed the before.

The group of boys looked at Arnin with some fear, however the spiky haired boy calmed down and slowly walked towards Arnin. He ignored Jisk, who was on the ground controlling his breathing.

“What the hell are you doing? Since you want to die so early, I will assist you.” The spiky haired boy then launched himself towards Arnin.

Although Arnin was in extreme pain and also found everything hard to see, that didn’t mean that he could not fight. He had fought many battles in the past with various handicaps, one even being him not being able to see.

As the spiky haired boy rushed towards him, Arnin began to circulate the Demon Cultivation Manual. He needed to absorb blood essence and the best way was through the Demon Cultivation Manual.

The spiky haired boy fist flew towards Arnin’s face, and unlike last time, Arnin did not dodge. Rather the fist met with Arnin’s face.

“Weak! Just too weak!” The spiky haired boy had expected Arnin to be sent flying, unexpectedly Arnin was holding his ground. Just as the spiky haired boy was going to retract his fist, Arnin used both of his and quickly clutched onto the boy’s wrist and forearm.

This locked him in place, unable to do anything. “What are you doing!? LEt go of me, you little sh*t!” The spiky haired boy was not scared, rather he was surprised at Arnin’s actions. Plus, he was angered at Arnin’s audacity to grab a hold of him.

“Let go? Why should I do such a thing? Let me just take some of” Arnin’s voice was shaky, however the weakness in Arnin’s voice caused the spiky haired boy to feel some horror. It was as if he was listening to the words of a devil that crawled from the depths of hell.

He struggled to pull his arm, however all that struggle was useless. Arnin’s hold on him was just too strong that the boy was unable to release himself. Quickly, the boy decided to use his other hand to attack Arnin, and so he released a lightning speed punch.

Noticing the fist nearing, Arnin used his thumb to dig deep inside the flesh of the boy’s wrist.

“UGH!” The boy grunted, as his fist slowed down and even became a little unstable. Taking this chance, Arnin used the hand that was holding onto the boy’s forearm to get a hold of the second arm.

The spiky haired boy panicked when he felt his other arm being grabbed by Arnin. “Sh*t! What the hell are you guys doing?! Kill this kid!” The rest of the boy’s finally reacted. With Jisk in the lead, all of the boy’s quickly rushed towards Arnin.

A smirk appeared on Arnin’s face. He looked menacingly at the spiky haired boy as his blood masked face became extremely ruthless. “Do you think that escaping will be so easy?”

Hearing Arnin’s words, the boy panicked and struggled more, however he suddenly felt a tearing pain from his shoulders.

“AHHH!” With a tragic scream, the boy walked backwards as tears and snot began to appeared on his face.

The rushing boy’s stopped running and looked over at their boss with fright. “B-boss, y-your arms!” Jisk spoke out with a trembling voice.

In Arnin’s hands, he was holding onto something that the spiky haired boy was extremely attached to. His arms. Not only that, but Arnin was holding onto both of the arms, not only one.

On the other side, the spiky haired boy was already on his knees. On his left and right, blood rained to the ground.

“No! No! Give it back! Give me back my arms!” The boy yelled at Arnin with a tearfilled face.

“You want these arms back? Alright, but let me clean them up for you first.” Although no one could completely see Arnin’s face since it was covered with blood, everyone was able to make out the terrifying smile that appeared on his face.

As everyone watched Arnin, the latter lifted both of the arms and directed the blood part towards his face. Clenching with great strenght, blood squeezed out of the arms. It was as if Arnin was squeezing lemons or oranges. There was only a sinister smile plastered on his face.

Blood fell onto Arnin’s face. He showered in the blood and allowed to go onto his whole body.

*BEURG*

Some of the boys were unable to handle Arnin’s terrifying action and vomited. All of them had seen death and even killed some people themselves, but they had never seen someone showering in blood.

A few minutes passed and the arm was devoid of any blood. Arnin was able to squeeze out every last bit of blood all over his face and body. This made him look even scarier.

“What the hell is wrong with this kid.” One of the boy’s couldn’t help but whisper to another. The later only shook his head and watched on with terror in his eyes.

Arnin ignored the people in the surrounding and quickly absorbed the blood essence into his body.

Another minute or so passed. Everything was silent. No one dared to move and they continued to watched Arnin. Even the spiky haired boy was silent. Rather then quiet, he was just unable to speak. He was lying on the ground, covered in his own blood. His face was pale and it looked like he would die at any moment. He had lost too much blood.

Finally, ten minutes passed and Arnin finally opened his eyes. ‘My vision seems to have returned and I even stopped the high leakage of essence.

Arnin smiled when he found out that his body was almost back to the state before his eyes had gone bad. Although that state was very dangerous, it was still better then him bleeding from all over and losing an insane amount of essence.

Right now, Arnin’s essence was much weaker than before. Some would even question whether Arnin could be considered an Orb Birth – Earth cultivator or not. There just wasn’t too much essence left in Arnin’s body.

One thing that Arnin was able to find out was that there was a way to increase his essence. Blood essence. Blood essence was one of the ways that would allow him to slowly increase his essence once again and even allow his body to heal slightly, however that did not completely fix the leakage problem. Arnin still had to go and find a solution for his leaking essence.

Arnin threw the two arms onto the ground and smile. He ignored the boy’s in the surrounding and directly walked towards the laying spiky haired body. Using his right foot, Arnin tapped the boy’s head.

“You still awake? You can have your arms back now. Hehe.” Arnin slightly snickered as he watched the quiet boy.

Seeing that he didn’t get an answer back, Arnin crouched on the ground and leaned over to boy’s face. “Didn’t you hear me? You can have your arms back now.” Arnin continued to speak with his causal tone, however there was a bit of demonicness in his tone.

Arnin shook his head and got up. “Since you don’t want your arms back, would it be ok if I take something else from you? As you can see, I am still in dire need of some blood, so if you wouldn’t mind, I am just going to” In front of everyone’s widened eyes, Arnin grabbed onto the spiky haired boy’s head and lightly tugged it.

The tug did not break the neck, rather Arnin was able to pull the whole head off the body. “Thanks for the patronage friend.” Arnin lifted the head and looked at the face and spoke. This scene caused everyone to tremble in fright and horror. No one showed any sorrow, rather they were just frightened beyond compare.

Every action that Arnin made so far was extremely terrifying and demon like. “T-this kid is too much. I have to get out of here.”

“Y-yeah, me too!”

“Let’s get out of here!”

Many of the boys began to quiver and their legs weakened. They wanted to run and escape from Arnin, however just as they were about to move, Arnin turned his head and look at the boy;s that spoke.

“Did I give any of you permission to leave? Stay right there, I am still going to need some donations from you guys.” Arnin spoke with his mouth, but used his hands to move the mouth of the head in his hands. This act made the boy’s fall on the ground. They didn’t have enough courage to move. Arnin’s was just too horrifying.

“Now then, let us continue.” Arnin turned and looked at the head in his hand. He smiled and began to squeeze once more. Blood rained down onto his face. In turn, Arnin absorbed the blood essence into his body in order to replenish his lost blood and also help to increase the decreasing essence inside his body.

A few minutes flew by quickly, however to the group of boys, the minutes were like hours. They didn’t even dare to breathe. Although they believed themselves to be stronger then Arnin, if not individually but as a group, they just didn’t have the guts to do anything.

“Now then, I need a donation from you guys as well.” Arnin looked over at the other boy’s and smiled. The way he spoke made it so that Arnin was commanding, rather than asking. Many of the boy;s were also dumbfounded by Arnin’s word usage.

He said donation, which would usually be optional, however Arnin was not giving them an option at all. Arnin was forcing them, threatening them with his actions.

The first person Arnin walked over to was Jisk. “Let me start with you.” A sinister smile appeared on his blood face, causing Jisk to tremble.

“N-no, please s-spare me. I d-don’t want to d-die!” His body trembled as tears poured down his cheek. He could see death when he looked at Arnin and he knew that the death was not going to be pleasant.

“Spare?” Arnin walked over with a confused look, however no one was able to clearly see what kind of expression he had.

Arnin grabbed Jisk’s hair and looked him directly in the eyes. Jisk saw Arnin’s purple Runic Eyes and almost urinated in his own pants. He could see that the purple was more terrifying than beauty. Plus, when he looked intently, he could see tiny symbols deep within.

Swaet appeared on his forehead as his mouth quivered. “D-demon. Demon. DEMO–!” He screamed loudly, however right then, Arnin separated his body and head.

“You need to learn some manners. You shouldn’t scream in another’s face.” Arnin did not showered in the blood this time. Rather, he allowed the blood collect in one spot. “Let me make a large pool for myself. Keke!” Arnin laughed as he looked at the rest of the boys.

“DEMON! RUN!” The boy’s finally had a reaction and began to stumble and fall. Arnin smiled and then vanished from his position.

An hour passed and all that was left were bodies stacked on top of one another. Each body was missing a head, while a head was missing it’s body. The pile of bodies and head looked extremely terrifying, however Arnin only smiled.

“Now then, let’s just wait until the blood collects.” Nodding his head, Arnin began to sit, however right when he was going to completely sit, he heard a sound.

“MMPPSH!” The sound was of a person breathing from their nose came from a rock a little ways away.

Arnin turned his head and smiled. ‘Seems like there is one more left.’ Arnin got up and walked towards the sound.

——————————————-

Lying on the ground was the little girl from before. She had seen Arnin come, however when everyone was distracted she took the chance to escape. However she was very injured so she could only crawl.

Because she was so exhausted she was unable to get too far. She had to take many breaks and catch her breath.

*CRAA*

The sound of rocks breaking and moving around was heard from behind. Quickly, she turned her head and found someone walking towards her.

It was a person completely covered in blood, and his height was extremely short. “W-who are you!?” She couldn’t help but shout at Arnin.

Arnin walked closer with a smile and went in front of her. He then squatted in front of her and looked her deep in the eyes. Everything was silent before Arnin spoke up. “Are you really going to talk to someone who just saved you?” Arnin said with a ‘hurt’ look. Of course, she wasn’t able to clearly see his expression, but the child like voice coming from Arnin made her drop her guard.

“You saved me? Did you really? What happened to those boy’s?” She questioned with some caution. Although her guard against Arnin was lowered, that didn’t mean that she completely trusted him.

“Do you see anyone else here? Do you really think that if they were alive, they would just leave you?” Arnin asked his own question. This caused the girl to freeze. She thought hard for a moment before a smile appeared on her face. The smile was extremely sad, almost tear jerking.

“Can you take me to see the bodies of those people? I want to personally see them dead to relieve my heart.” She now completely believed Arnin. Although she was stronger than most people her age, at heart she was still a little girl. Being able to fool her and trick her was as simple as eating for someone like Arnin.

Arnin nodded his head and helped the girl up. “I will take you to see them. They are all dead.” The girl smiled and didn’t say anything else.

Arnin couldn’t help but mock the girls intelligence. He hoped for something more fun, but the girl was so easy to trick that even Arnin was slightly stunned. She believed after just one sentence. That was way too simple.

Although Arnin felt that it was too easy, he didn’t lower his guard. There was always a chance that the girl was tricking Arnin.

Finally they reached the location. The hill made from bodies was covered with clothes and blood now and there was even a large pool around the little body hill.

The girl looked around and when she saw the hill, she couldn’t help but suck in a breath of cold air. “What the he–” Before the girl could finish, she felt pain from neck, and fainted.

——————————-

A pale face that looked heart wrenching, had its eyes closed. The lips had low amounts of blood and even the cheeks sunk in slightly. The sight was heartbreaking.

The eyes on hat very face finally began to flutter. Soon, the eyes opened and the head began to turn and look around. She panicked when she felt something odd about her body.

“W-what is going one! Where am I!?” She panicked and tried to inspect her body with her hands, but nothing moved. Looking down, she noticed that instead of her arms, there was empty air. Her arms were missing. “AHH!”

“Little girl, are you look for these?” A sound appeared from afar. The girl looked over with a tear stricken face. Sitting on a couple heads, she saw a little boy. His face had blood stains, however not too much present on his face anymore.

She looked at the objects that the boy was waving, and saw that he was holding onto two arms. She then saw him smiling brightly towards her.

“What are you doing?! Why are you doing this?! Didn’t you save me?!” She could instantly tell that the person in front of her was the blood boy from before.

“Well, I saved your life and in return I wanted something too.” Arnin spoke with a smile. A got up from the seat made from heads and walked over to the girl. He used the girls arms to touch the girls face. This made the little girl extremely uncomfortable. “Now then, fulfill your debt to me.” Arnin smile before piercing the girls arms into the girls stomach.

“AHHHHHH!”
