246 The Power Of {Blood Judgement}!
—–
Despite always holding an expressionless face, I couldn’t help but smile now. How long has it been since I bathed on so much blood? How long has it been since I could go all out? After all these years of being a child, I’ve finally accumulated and cultivated enough power to at least do a small carnage such as this one. And oh, how much nostalgia does this brings to me! This side of me had been dormant for so long that I couldn’t help but believe I have turned into someone else… But no, it still there, the side of me that craves destruction and blood… And it makes me so happy to remember it!
While facing this challenge, I directed my hand into the corpses lying around, in a second, dozens of streams of blood flew to my hands, being refined instantly into Blood Ki. I had spent most of it after using Blood Judgement twice, but I knew that I could get it back like this. I quickly drank two Mana Potions and felt my Mana quickly refilling, as the Grimoire showcased how my MP Stat was filling to almost 90%! With this, it was more than enough.
[0)ᴠʟ If it could be calculated in numbers, I currently had refilled over 10k Blood Ki, each Blood Judgement cost 3k, so I can use this up to three times. However, brute forcing my way through would be unwise, as much as I like carnage, I am not brainless, and I like the gratification of victory through any method, not just brute strength. Therefore, I decided to move forward, fusing [Fireball] with [Gust] and then Blood Ki, forming a brand-new Spell composed of three elements, still being within the Tier 1 Magic Realm, but so strong it could slightly and temporary rival Tier 2!
FLUOOOOSH!.
Within my hands, crimson red flames, as red as blood itself emerged, dancing like blazing winds as they suddenly grew more and more in size as I infused large quantities of Blood Ki… I called this Spell [Crimson Blood Flames]!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
I directed these flames towards the Soul Fire conjured by the Demons, impacting them and destroying them before they could reach me, all while I ran straight towards them. I commanded by Crimson Blood Flames to form a protecting layer around my body, which allowed me to easily fend off the smaller soul-damaging flames that the demons conjured! But that wasn’t all…
FLUOSH!
I unleashed a fireball using these flames and hit one of the Imps closest to me, who had quickly dropped all of his fighting will when he saw hoe easily I fended off his superior’s magic, but it was too late. The flames quickly took over his body but didn’t simply burn through him, they absorbed his blood, drying him up like a mummy.
“Gryyyaaaaaahhh…!”
I couldn’t help but smirk before the scream of agony of the Imp, I laughed afterwards, I couldn’t help but find the sight before me as hilarious! This was the power of these flames; I’ve finally attained enough mastery over Blood Ki to generate them once more… With these flames, I can consume entire armies. They have the power to absorb the Blood of the beings they burn, instantly refining the blood into Blood Ki as well, and therefore, leaving their corpses like dried up mummies. This Blood Ki helps the flames grow larger, spreading out. Just as they did right now, as they began to engulf the rest of the Imps and two unfortunate Red Onis that thought they could brute force their way through, hahaha!
“Burn all of you! Go back to the hell you came from! Crawl to your fiery abyss, and don’t dare come back!” I proclaimed, rushing into the Onis and slashing their bodies into pieces, they attacked me of course, but my flames fended most of them. Though some weapons pierced my shoulders and arms, it was calculated. I quickly pierced the heads of those that got some lucky hits, burning my wounds through my flames, and easily cauterizing them in the process.
SLASH! SLASH! SLAAAASH!
I slashed through using Gluttony, as my spear seemed to be enjoying the thrill and bloodshed of battle. I pushed forward while constantly being attacked, as I burned my own wounds countless times to minimize damage and purify any infections. The Crimson Flames spread out like the plague, burning through dozens of Imps. The Onis were smarter and evaded them, directing their magic and physical attacks at me. A rain of arrows suddenly reached me but I unleashed a storm of red flames into the sky, turning the arrows into ashes. A few hit my back, but didn’t pierce through my lungs.
Receiving too many wounds was still exhausting, but I was able to recover my exhaustion by consuming the Blood Ki I extracted from the corpses, refilling my Stamina and giving me further Vitality, as long as my body could bear the burden, I could fight more and more. And I did, reaching the magician Onis and quickly unleashing the power of my Vampiric Eye of Paralysis, quickly stopping them from conjuring magic!
SPARK!
“G-GRAH…!”
“GREAH?!”
It was as if red lightning hit their bodies and stopped them from even reacting or speaking other than groaning in the moment of shock. Hopelessly, the Onis saw as I sliced their throats with my bare hands, using the [Blood Claws] Blood Emperor Technique, as my spear was launched seconds ago, reaching the head of a Blue Oni that was trying to sneak attack me from behind.
SLASH! SLASH!
I swiftly absorbed their blood, refining it into more Blood Ki. Without realizing it, dozens of corpses laid around my surroundings, as I continued slaying more and more demons, there was an endless carnage. It wasn’t completely one-sided as they kept inflicting wounds on me, but I made sure they were not lethal, nonetheless, I had to admit it, I was being reckless. But where would the fun be without going straight towards your enemies once in a while? Well, I don’t have to worry much, as always make sure to be several steps ahead of them.
“Blood Judgement…!”
