The blood king 11 Raven

it's been about a month and a half since levi got to the desolate mountain. during this time, he found out a lot of things about desolate mountain. the tree's that tried to eat him, are called nightmare trees. to kill them, you need to destroy the core in the middle of their bodies? bark?

there are also giant carnivorous flowers. the bird that tried to fly over desolate mountain that day was caught by it's tongue, which was a vine growing in its mouth and pulled it down into it's stomach. also, the girl that was being dragged away by something, what dragged her away was a carnivorous vine.

those types of vines like to catch animals or humans and grind them into fertilizer with their vines. that poor girl, may she rest in peace. there are also beasts in the mountain, not the legendary beasts that were refined into elixirs. these beasts were normal animals which evolved or mutated due to the unusual qi in desolate mountain. the giant purple snake also changed because of the poison fog.

levi caught and 'extracted' information about desolate mountain from someone who tried to kill him. said person was 'disposed' of after the extraction, of course. apparently there is a camp of sorts in this mountain. a lot of criminals were sent to desolate mountain to die painful deaths, but the ones who survived, made a little village.

a lot of the people who go to desolate mountain to train themselves go to this village, desolate village. the villagers, who, i remind you are criminals, sometimes rob, kill or do 'other' things to their visitors. the only rule of the village is, the strong rule. so basically, you can do what ever you want, as long as you're strong enough.

the village also has a request board, where people could put up job request and the people who made the request would pay you for doing the job, if it was completed successfully. for instance, if you wanted to kill a certain beast, but you weren't strong enough, you could request for people to help you kill it.

levi decided not to go to desolate village. at this moment, levi was stalking a certain prey. he wanted the bloodline of this thing because it was convenient. in his sights was a raven, a little smaller than the sect master's roc. it had talons of iron and wings of steel. when it flapped it's wings, just the wind alone could cut down large trees.

he wanted the wings of the raven to be able to fly wherever he pleased. but he knew how strong the raven was, so he had to be carefull not to BECOME the prey.

...

in a withered land, where not even ghosts dare reside, a middle aged man sat with a hideous expression. he was facing two people, one in a golden robe and the other in a white robe. "i'll agree to your terms! that damn sect master dare to lock me up here!? i want him dead!" the man said.

"and that little brat also! you 3 should also want him dead, so help me kill him!" the man turned to look at 3 other middle aged men. "that brat has dissapeared. he has not been seen in the sect and we don't know where he went." one of the 3 suddenly said.

"so what if he disappeared? when the 5 year tournament comes around, i'm sure he'll come back! and if he doesn't, then we'll just have to hunt him down!" the man shouted. the 3 kept silent for a while before one said. "his strength grows by the day, being gone for a long period of time could mean trouble for us!" he said.

"don't worry so much! with two superpowers after him, even if he was an undying cockroach, he would still be killed!" the man said hatefully. the 3 looked at each other. "we will be going back for now, less the sect master becomes suspicious." after saying this, the 3 then left.

"according to our agreement, if any of you find him first, you will hand that brat over to me!" the man turned back to the two figures. "we already agreed to your terms. stop being so anxious, it's annoying." the man in the gold robe turned around and left.

"Rest assured, we will do our part as long as you do yours." the white robed man said calmly. he then left.

...

desolate mountain.

levi was still stalking the raven, but he was becoming impatient. it suddenly went on top of a flat rock and looked like it fell asleep. levi saw this but decided to wait a little longer. he remembered all of the painful and tragic times when animals beat him up, but when he thought about it, if this raven got angry, it would probably slice him up. there was no coming back from that, not yet at least.

after thinking for a while, he had an idea. 'since the venom in my body feels and moves like my blood, would i be able to control it like my blood too?' he thought. he held up his index finger and a small slit appeared. a purple liquid flowed out and floated. 'so i can do this!' levi started to direct the poison towards the raven's beak which was slightly opened.

just as it was about to go in, the poison stopped and fell to the ground. 'is there a limit to how far i can send out my blood?' levi thought. the raven opened its eyes when it heard the dripping sound, before closing them again. it thought nothing of it and went back to sleep.

levi sighed in relief and quietly moved a bit closer. then he sent out his poison once again, but this time he also sent poison towards it's eyes, so that if it does wake up at least it wouldn't be able to find him. he slowly started to send a tread of poison into the ravens mouth so he wouldn't alert it.

after all of the poison went into its mouth, he sighed in relief. "hah!" all of a sudden he shouted, causing the raven to open it's eyes. as soon as it opened its eyes, the poison flashed as it flew into them. the raven started to flap it's wings crazily as it thrashed around in pain and anger.

coincidentally, a blade of wind flew in levi's direction, he barely ducked in time which caused it to hit the large tree behind him. BOOM! a deafening boom rang out. levi stiffly turned his head and what he saw made him break out in cold sweat. the huge tree was cut straight through, cleanly. it fell to the ground with a loud boom.

after a while the raven stopped moving and lay weakly on the ground. levi was astonished at the lifeforce of the raven, he waited until it stopped breathing before he walked up to it. he took out his knife and stabbed its neck, which caused an almost black blood to flow out. levi absorbed all of the blood which caused the body to shrink.

suddenly, his fingernails turned black. he could grow and shorten them at will. 'the raven's iron talons!' he thought. he could feel that the bloodline was still being absorbed, but very slowly. he could only hope that he would get the wings later.

after thinking for a while, he cut off the wings and talons of the raven. because it was too full, levi took out about 5,000 silver coins from out of the spatial ring and put the wings and talons inside. because he didn't have anywhere to put it and it would be a pain to take with him, he just left the silver coins on the ground and left.
