The end wasn’t considered the end for someone like the Sun Celestial. Although his Celestial body had been destroyed by David, his true body was within a secret realm where he was absorbing cosmic energies to improve his strength and recuperate from his hidden injuries.

And so it began.

“Cough!!! Ughhhh!!!”

Blood escaped in the form of a mist, merging into the surrounding energy and disappearing into the air.  The principle- energy cannot be destroyed and can only be converted from one form to another seem very true at the moment. The Sun Celestial Celestial body although made in the form of a true body, is the accumulation of various types of energies, matter, precious resources and time to create his own Celestial body.

Meanwhile the Celestial body isn’t the strongest form of a Celestial, it could be the said to be a perfect clone of the true body, and might even be stronger than the true body of the Celestial in some aspect.

In his 300 years of living, never would the sun Celestial expect his Celestial body to be destroyed by an ordinary mortal who wasn’t even in the Celestial realm!𝔬𝐕𝑙xt.𝑐𝗈𝔪

“Damn you!!!”

Fire burned from his eyes, escaping from his pores until it turned into a river filled with flames. The Meteor Sun Volcano he was cultivating at erupted even more. The lava seem to have a mind of its own as they cascaded out from the top of the lava mountain , pouring out violently into the surroundings, causing black clouds along with sparks and flames into the entire environment of a mile radius.

David had just landed at the halfly-destroyed dojo when he immediately staggered to the ground.

“David!” The shriveled old figure of the dojo master moved with a blur, catching the David in his old hands. The other dojo elders and the others still capable of fighting got closer.

“What’s wrong with David?” The eldest senior sister of the dojo was agitated as she asked the dojo master with a worried tone in her voice.

“I’m not sure but it’s probably because he’s drained of energy and is unable to gather the basic blood energy required to perform basic task such as healing Brother Bhojed, take him to the medic center in the dojo. I will call upon the best doctor in the city to look after him.” The dojo master commanded.

One of the seven elder of the dojo, Elder Bhojed was quick to speak. “B-but we do not have enough resources to bring in Master Zion.”

The dojo master let out a soft chuckle which contained both pride and a little bit of jealousy. “After seeing the battle in the skies between to supreme beings, who I this world wouldn’t answer to my dojo’s call!”

The several dojo elders nodded in agreement. One of their members had a world shaking battle with a Celestial who was renowned in this world and even sent them away, who would dare defy such power?

It didn’t take long for Master Zion to reach the dojo. Immediately his eyes touched the unconscious David, his face was filled with reverence and respect. He  couldn’t believe someone so young could have the ability to stop a being so revered and powerful as the sun celestial.

“Can you tell what exactly is wrong with him? It has been 3 hours now and he has shown no signs of waking up.” The eldest sister complained. She had trained David since he arrived at the dojo and taught him almost everything she knows. She was certain she hadn’t fallen for him, but he was as close to her as a family. What she wants to know is if the time David had spent in deceiving her was worth it. She was calm on the outside but there was a raging amount of questions about to pop out from her mouth. If he had such strength to rival a celestial, why did he spend so much time deceiving her?

“Lara, let the Master work.” The dojo master reprimanded. Then he turned towards the healing master and asked. “When exactly would David be awake?”

Master Xion rolled his eyes and ignored the two hovering over him. The energy flowing from his body transported into Davids body, scanning his system to reveal what exactly was wrong with him.

After what seems to be like forever, Master Xion’s face gradually turn pale. After two hours, his face turned white and after three hours of scanning, his entire body shook while blood started spilling out from his nose and his mouth. This phenomenon didn’t escape the sight of the people in the room and they were quite shocked.

“What is happening?”

“Wasn’t it said that master Zion could even heal a Celestial level poison? So why couldn’t he figure out what was wrong with David?”

“There’s noting Strange if you think about it. David is special. Without becoming a celestial himself, he was able to battle fairly with a celestial body, there’s nothing strange if his body is even more complicated than the body of a true celestial.” The eldest sister of the dojo – Lara, spoke as though it was normal.

In that moment, the healing master let out a violent cough. Blood staining his handkerchief as he staggered away from David. He didn’t waste a single second and popped a particularly large pill in to his mouth. Hitting a few veins in his body, he sat and started controlling his body to accumulate his lost energy and blood.

Six hours passed and finally, blood started returning in his body  and a shallow blush could be seen on his face. The blood medicine was effective.

Master Xion opened his eyes, thoroughly exhausted and drained. His eyes contained a hint of fear as he stared at David like some sort of monster. “I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong with him, but I’m certain he’s in need of massive amount of force and energy. Like how some beast go into hibernation in famine to save energy, this young man had done the same.” Carrying his backpack, the Master was in a hurry to leave. He couldn’t stay here another second.

“Master Xion! You are the best healing master most renowned in this world, surely there’s something you can do to save my precious disciple!” The dojo master growled threateningly. His energy fluctuating in a dangerous manner as his muscles spasm from their shriveled phase.

Noticing this, Master Xion gazed at him with the corner of his eyes, totally indifferent as he spoke. “It’s no use threatening me. The answer is actually simple. Feed him blood, lots and lots of blood.”

This answer startled the members of the dojo, including the dojo master.

Master Xion turned towards the dojo master with an heavy expression. “Common, don’t tell me you haven’t thought about that matter?”

The dojo master contemplated for half a minute before saying in conviction. “We touched him, including others from the dojo, he didn’t react to absorb any of our blood so you might be wrong about this,  he’s different from the others in the ancient text.”

The healing master nodded in agreement. “You might be right that he’s different from the other Blood demons from thousands of years ago, but if not for my secret technique, I would have been drained in both blood and energy and died here without anyone knowing why. Therefore, my conclusion is that he is a blood demon without a doubt. To awaken him, you would require the blood of several high  level beast, possibly humans too.”

The faces of the several people present changed hearing his last words. “You don’t mean…”

The healing Master glanced at Lara with a knowing look  and her face turned pale in the process. He actually meant it when he said preferably human blood.

The dojo master’s face turned solemn as he nodded. “Understood. Elder Luke will see you as you leave.”

The healing Master shook his head and spoke. “There’s no need for that, I only came here in respect for the new lord of the realm, no matter how flawed he is.”

The dojo master as well as the three elders present bowed their heads watching Master Xion leave. It wasn’t until he vanished from view in the horizons  did the four raise their head.

“From Master Xion’s words, it seems David might actually be a Blood demon, growing stronger by killing his fellow humans!” On eof the elder grumbled, his face one of disgust and unacceptance.

“Brother Noen, you are wrong there. For a blood demon, we the seven elders are the perfect fit to increase his strength. Which means he could have absorb our blood and the dojo masters blood to increase his strength, he didn’t. Although he basically used Blood Force during the battle, with the sun celestial, he didn’t look like he was out of tone with the blood force. Therefore, while there might be possibilities he might be a blood demon, David isn’t a berserk blood demon nor a blood thirsty demon.”
