The Blood King
/ The blood king 2 Leaving star city
"ehhh? but if he doesn't have anyone to rely on, shouldn't i do something? i know! i'll adopt him as my little brother!" she said excitedly. noah looked at his junior sister and smiled helplessly. "what ever makes you happy, ava." they got out of the forest after a few more minutes.
when they got into the city they saw a lot of people wearing azure robes, running around looking for something. "find that bastard! an outcast like him dares to beat up someone from the azure clan! find him and beat him to death!" a middle aged man shouted angrily.
Ava and noah walked up to a stall that had yet to close up. "what's going on?" noah asked. the stall owner looked at them but said nothing. noah took out few of copper coins and repeated the question. "those people are from the azure clan. they are looking for a boy they exiled a few years ago. apparently the boy beat two twins savagely, now both of them are crippled and the girl can't even have children anymore." when the stall owner finished, he looked to Noah's hand expectantly.
ava and noah walked off. "hey noah, do you think that cute kid we met is the one they are looking for?" ava asked. "it's a possibility, but i don't thing that's the case. and didn't i tell you to call me senior brother?" he replied. "noah, noah, noah, i will never call you senior brother! stupid noah!" she stuck out her tongue.
noah sighed helplessly and said nothing more about the matter.
in the forest.
levi was sleeping in the tree, when he heard a group of people walking towards his direction. he opened his eyes and hid in the shadows of the night. "do you really think that waste is in this forest? i don't think he could survive a single day out here!" one man said. "well, he wasn't in the city, so where else could he be?" another one said.
"tch! this is so annoying! split up and search! if you find that brat, kill him and bring back his head!" the leader of the group said impatiently. the group of 5 men split up, 4 going in different directions and the last stayed to search the area.
levi, who was hiding in the tree heard everything the man said. his heart becoming increasingly cold. 'want to kill me? very well then! i will kill all of you first!' he thought. stalking the man with his eyes, levi was just waiting for an opportunity.
the man came under the branch that levi was sleeping on and paused before a splashing sound disturbed the quiet forest. levi silently walked across the broad branch, and waited. when the man was putting his third leg back, levi jumped from the branch and landed on the man's shoulders.
levi stabbed at the mans head with the sharp rock, but then got thrown off of the mans shoulders. "you bastard! i'm going to kill you!" the man screamed in anger. how could he not be angry? he was almost killed with a sneak attack.
the man pulled out a dagger that he had around his waist, and rushed at levi. levi dodged to the side and quickly punched the man in his side. "hahaha, you trash think you can hurt me with a punch like that? dream on!" the man sneered, then ran towards levi again.
this time levi didn't dodge, he stood still and waited. oh and in case you forgot, this man is swinging around two daggers at the moment. when the knife was about to stab into his chest, he lifted his hand. the knife pierced through his palm.
"agghhhhh!" levi kicked the mans second dagger with all of his might, which caused him to scream in a high pitched voice. taking this chance, levi pulled the knife out from his palm and stabbed the man in his throat. and just to make sure he would die, he stabbed him in the heart.
the moment his hand came in contact with the blood of the man, it was absorbed into his body. although he didn't get a bloodline or a skill, his body was filled with energy. it seems that even if he doesn't get bloodlines or skills, he would at the very least get some energy and nutrients. the cut on his hand healed at a visible speed.
levi kept the knife and ran of in the direction of one of the men. just as he left, another man came back. when he saw the body of one of them, he was startled. "which bastard killed him!" he screamed. at this moment, levi was stalking another one. like a beast stalking his prey, his figure flashed and he hid behind trees.
the unsuspecting man carelessly bent over to check a bush. at this moment, levi struck. stabbing the man in the back multiple times as he screamed from the pain. even after the man fell to the ground, levi kept stabbing. stabbing until the man stopped moving, at this point he was covered in blood. but have no fear, all of the blood was absorbed into his body.
the mans body shrank when all of his blood was absorbed. levi took the short sword that the man had and his money pouch. he then ran back to the direction he came from. when he got close to where he killed the first man, he slowed down and hid.
why? because the other 3 were together. 'shit! i should have hid the body!' he thought. he hurriedly thought about how he would deal with situation, then he had an idea. at this moment a knife flew out and pierced the back of one man's head. he was still standing but stopped what stopped what he was saying. the other two didn't even know that he was dead.
levi's body flashed as he moved in the darkness and pierced through another man in the back with the short sword. levi pulled out the short sword and ran towards the last one, the leader. before the sword hit him, the man used a weird movement technique. he then attacked by slashing his sword towards levi.
the impact caused levi to stumble to the side. " You bastard! how dare you kill the people of the azure clan!" the man shouted. he chopped down to wards levi, who barely blocked with the short sword. the man pushed down on his sword, seeing that he couldn't match the man's strength, levi jumped back in an attempt to dodge.
but he was still to slow. a long gash appeared on his left shoulder, blood rushed out before receding back into the wound. "monster! you monster! what demonic technique are you cultivating?! the heavens will punish you!" the man screamed. in fact, the sight of levi's blood going back into his body caused the man to be scared shitless.
"the heavens? then let them come!" levi, who was silent, spoke for the first time. sneering at the heavens he thought ' if they annoy me, I'll kill them too! where were the heavens when i was suffering? and now that i've found a road to power, they will appear to take it from me? then let them come but never return!'.
when the man saw levi's cold and twisted expression, his heart leaped into his throat. when levi saw the mans legs trembling, he attacked. the man who was startled by the sudden attack couldn't block in time. the short sword cut through the place where the shoulder meets with the neck, causing blood to spray out.
the man dropped to his knees and tried to stop the blood from coming out. "you..." he didn't get to finish his sentence before he fell to the ground, dead. levi fell to the ground in exhaustion, the wound on his shoulder was healing very slowly. he put his hand on the mans neck and the mans body gradually shrank.
he then did this to the two other bodies that were there. the gash on his shoulder wasn't completely healed, but it was much better than before. he was feeling rather pissed, the new cloths that he just robbed were gone just like that. he walked up to the corpse with a knife stuck in it's head and took off the cloths.
right after putting on his cloths, he heard some more foot steps. he pulled out the knife and picked up the short sword before hiding in the darkness once again. "cute little brother, are you here?" he heard a familiar voice and peeked out, only to see the two clowns from earlier.
"why are there so many mummies on the ground?!" ava hit noah's shoulder angrily. noah, who felt wronged asked "how am i supposed to know?!" he was this " close to bending ava over and spanking her ass. you never know she might lik- cough cough, going off topic again, i apologize.
levi walked out from behind the tree and pointed to the bunch of corpses. "i did that." he said coldly. "so you are the kid that they were looking for? see! i told you so noah!" ava hit noah shoulder again. "in that case, good boy! you shouldn't let people that want to kill you live!" ava said in a praising tone.
levi was startled. 'was this how people were supposed to be? or is this girl stupid?' levi looked over to noah. seeing levi looking at him as if asking for the truth, he answered. "yes, what junior sister said is right. you shouldn't leave potential risks alive." he said.
levi felt like the world was going mad. "you two, are not normal are you? because if you were, you would spout some righteous nonsense by now." levi said with a strange tone. noah and ava looked at each other and then burst out laughing. "righteous? how can you expect righteousness from disciples of a devil sect?" ava said wiping tears.
"devil sect?" levi was shocked. he knew that they were from a sect but what he didn't expect was that they were from a devil sect. "ah, i remember telling you that if i pass back here and find you, that i would take you hom-" before she could finish, noah's hand met the back of her head. "No, you didn't! you said you would take him to the sect!"
"alright, ok? i will take him to the sect. jeez noah, this is why you don't have a girlfriend even at your age!" ava pouted. "what "at your age" are you talking about!? i'm only 20!" noah retorted angrily. "hahaha, ok. whatever you say noah!" ava laughed.
levi couldn't help but to smile when seeing this silly scene. "ahh! he's smiling! so cute!!!" of course ava wouldn't miss the smile of a cute child. levi blushed then turned expressionless. "little brother, what's your name? do you want to come back to the sect with us? no, scrath that! if you don't want to, i'll just kidnap you!" ava said.
"no, i'll go. i don't have any reason to remain here. my name is levi, no last name." levi said. "ehh? no last name? well, why not call yourself levi crimson. your hair is blood red after all." ava said. levi looked at his hair, it was indeed blood red. "levi crimson." he mumbled.
"alright, from now on, you are going to be my adopted little brother." ava said, eyes sparkling. levi's eyes frosted over. "family has no meaning to me." he said coldly. "i know that you were abandoned by your clan at a young age, but don't worry! i will spoil and pamper you enough to change your views on family!" ava said happily, completely disregarding levi's cold tone.
"alright you two, lets rest first. if we want to get back to the sect in under 4 days, we'll have to wake up early tomorrow!" noah said. "ok!" ava shouted. she seemed to always be happy and energetic, noah looked at her like a father would look at their child.
