The blood king Chapter 78

The north gate .

" halt! identify yourself!" a line of soldiers stood before the city gate, as they watched Levi cautiously . " i am just returning to the city . please let me through . " after thinking for a while, Levi said . ' donk! why did you hit me?- haha! you need to learn how to speak more politely! otherwise, you will get yourself into a whole lot of trouble, whether you want it or not!' Levi rememberd old gray saying this during one of their training sessions . " Returing to the city? from where?!" the soldiers asked again . " you see, i went into the forest to look for some mutated beasts, since i heard that you might see one or two if you look hard enough . . . " Levi forced a friendly smile as he explained . " but after searching for a while, i-he's lying!" before Levi could finish, a soldier shouted . " what do you mean?" one of the soldiers from the line asked . " He was there! he was one of the angry general's, one of general Eli's soldiers! i know because our general found him in the forest a little while after general Eli had been forced back into the city by the group of archers!" the soldier eplained, as the looks on the other soldiers faces became grim .

The west gate .

" you will kill my little brother? don't fucking joke around!" bzzt! she reappeared before the soldier's face, sending a surprisingly powerful punch into his face which knocked him from his horse . " i don't like people talking about my hight or my size, but i hate something even more . you will kill my little brother? hahaha!" Aliyah laughed crazily . " i will make you experience the most terrifying death . " she said, as she stomped on the man's chest, her wooden slippers knocking against the metal armor . " oh?" although he was pinned down, the soldier still had time to look underneath her violet robe, causing his cheeks to turn red . " look as long as you like, because it will be the last thing you will ever see . " bzzzt! bzzt! bzzt! a blue, lightning-like qi appeared around the girl's leg, before going down towards the man's armor .

" do you think these little jolts will do anything? i'm just waiting for the numbness to dissapear from my arm, because when it is, i will have, and enjoy my way with you . " the soldier remarked . " still so horny even when death is creeping up behind you . " bzzt! bzzt! " hu-huh?" the soldier suddenly had a panicked look on his face . " hehe, are you starting to feel it? the weight of your body? the numbness spreading throughout it?" Aliyah asked with a frighteningly cold smile . " does it make you scared? the fact that you can't even talk right now? the fact that, no matter what i do to you right now, you wouldn't be able to fight back?" She asked again, as the color drained from the soldier's face . He tried to say something, but soon realised that even his jaw couldn't move .

" shhh! don't try to talk . look under my robe as much as you want, as the numbness slowly moves toward your heart . " Aliyah spoke, as she nelt down with one foot on top of the soldiers chest, her finger on his lips, the size difference becoming apparent . " think about the color of my underwear as your heart slows because of the electric currents . is your body feeling cold now? hehe, that's no good . do you know what that coldness means?" she used her arms to prop herself up as she spoke directly into the soldier's ear with the voice of a cute little girl . " it means death . " She then said coldly, as the man's eyes suddenly widened, multiple veins visible, as he struggled to open his mouth in vain . tears flowed from his eyes as he struggled to open his mouth, before, slowly, he even lost the ability to keep his eyes open . his heart stopped, and his eyes closed soon after .

" . . . . did you have to kill him?" Kaiden asked softly . " . . . . . ahhh? what did you just ask me?" Aliyah turned around, a cold look on your face . " . . . D-did you . . . really . . . . have to kill him . . ?" Kaiden asked again, through chattering teeth . " what kind of nonsense are you asking? if anything, i should be asking you . why didn't YOU kill him?" Aliyah got up from the soldier's still twitching body, before walking up to Kaiden and looking up at him with a frighteningly cold expression . " he woukd have killed you, before doing as he pleased with me . so, why didn't you kill him? answer me . " she asked again . " I-i . . . " Was all that came from Kaiden's mouth . " You were scared, right? Why were you scared? Every time you say you are scared, but what are you scared of? hmm?" Aliyah asked as she tilted her head . " I . . . . What i am scared of . . . . is you . . . . how you act sometimes, it really frightens me . . . " Kaiden said, as he looked down . " . . . " Aliyah kept silent . " I am also scared that, if at some point i am strong enough to protect myself, that you will leave me, just like everyone else . . . everyone leaves me in the end . . . even our parents- let's go . " Aliyah interrupted . "ah, wwait for me!" kaiden shouted, as he ran after her . " like i could ever abandon you, you fool . . . " Aliyah secretly wiped some tears from her face, as her lips formed a sorrowful smile .

At The North Gate .

" Surround him!" one of the soldiers shouted, as the line of soldiers slowly surrounded Levi, one step at a time . the stifling tension causing some of them to sweat profusely . ' so even after speaking politely, i still end up in this kind of situation . ' Levi thought . " how annoying . " Levi said, as blood energy rose from his body . "whwhat is that?!" a soldier asked . " stay on guard! don't lose focus!" another one shouted, as they halted their steps, breathing heavily . " you . . . " suddenly, the voice of general Luca, the cold general drifted into the people's ears, including Levi's . " . . . was it you?" the cold general asked . "?" Levi looked at the general, not understanding what he was talking about . he only saw the genreal trembling . " . . . . was it you?! did you betray him?!"the cold genral shouted, as his cultivation pressure erupted . " ugh!" The soldiers surrounding Levi, and levi himself was almost pressured into the ground . ' spin!' levi thought, as his blood energy began spinning and rising up . " huff! huff . . . . so that worked . . . " levi mumbled . as mentioned before, he had thought about more creative ways to use his blood energy as he walked through the forest, and since he was always being pressured by people stronger than him, finding a way to stop or disrupt that pressure was a must for him .

since he couldn't stop it, he resorted to disrupting it instead . his way of thinking about the pressure was simple . think of the pressure as water, if one were under a large body of water, the pressure would be unbearable . but if you were to somehow find a way to spin this water, and always stay below the gap, then you would be fine, that was how levi's theory worked at least . so since he wasn't strong enough to simply lift or evaporate the water, he would disrupt it . " humph! since you are not answering, then i will have to assume that what i am thinking is right! impact! " boom! " Levi looked behind him, where a small hole appeared . when he had first met the cold general, he was blasted away before he could do any thing about it . but the reason for that was because, he was fighting to control his body, so even though he felt something speeding toward him, he couldn't react in time to do anything about it, but now was a different story . if it was back then, even if his body was fully under his control, he still wouldn't have been able to counter or dodge the strike . but now, his body was under control, and his blood energy stage was higher than ever . he looked at the general coldly, with annoyance and irritation written all over his face .
