As I approached the group of 20, they began to launch their attacks, most carried swords only a few axes, but no matter how they tried to attack, most were not cultivators, and only a few had begun to strengthen the bones, their speed was a joke in my eyes. I danced through the different swords as the Blood Qi expanded the range of my spear, I threw a diagonal cut and the bodies of 5 bandits fell apart in pieces, blood flew from broken arteries, panic faces could be seen in the others.
I couldn't help laughing at their expressions, they had been killing people for a long time, and sure they didn't feel guilty before they could escape, I had an idea, I could use the same spell that Rin used before? The Blood Qi did not have so much turbulence, although it could only be used in uncomplicated ways for now, because it was not as dense as the Elemental Qi as well, Rin's attack was quite simple...
Curiosity burned in my heart, so I stabbed my spear in the ground remembering the structure that Rin made for my Qi, making a structure oneself was much easier than making it for others, for that reason Rin ended up collapsing the last time.
When the Blood Qi began to soak the earth, the structure took advantage of the blood of the 5 cadavers that I had not yet absorbed, blood lances began to come out from the ground, the result was devastating, but all the blood that was in the ground previously had evaporated without me being able to absorb it.
So the blood I use as a catalyst cannot be recovered... I whispered unintentionally, even so, it was not a great loss, the blood of others compensated for the loss, the greater the cultivation of the person, the more Blood Qi created, with the blood of 15 people I reached the Bone strengthening 3-stage.
The fat man was on the ground lying down, a spear pierced his knee, screamed like a pig, I pierced his other knee and elbows, it was not worth absorbing the blood of people who did not fight, the benefit was minimal.
The families of the bandits, those who were loyal to them stayed inside the settlement, those who were prisoners already escaped a long time ago, I killed the 10 people who were on one side watching the battle, they were already on their knees begging for forgiveness, but there is no medicine for regret in this life, at least not for them.
With the blood of the 10 people, I did the spell again, this time I widened the range, and made the lances thinner, the size of a finger, the whole central area was plagued with lances, although they did not have much strength was enough to kill the non-combatants.
"Next time, make wiser choices..." I sighed, maybe there was some innocent person, but he can only blame his bad luck, he had enough time to escape. I went out to call Rin, but she had already been gleaning booty all over the camp, this time we plundered 9 silver coins before I left I didn't forget to finish off the fat bandit, it was better to ensure the death of bad humans.
Without any more distractions, we continued our way towards the mine, just when the sunset arrived, we camped, the mine should not be too far away, about 40 minutes walking.
We quickly set up a small camp, had dinner and slept, this time Rin returned to her bestial form, her evolution had made her size as a wolf, smaller, but her silver hair sometimes reflected the light completely, causing flashes with the colors of the rainbow.
"Rin you're beautiful even when you become a wolf!" I said before going to sleep, thanks to that comment I won a bite on the arm, after doing a couple of twists in the bed I fell asleep, tiredness always helped at bedtime.
Rin's hug in the morning woke me up, she returned to her Half-Best form.
"Wake up, you have work to do..." She whispered in my ear in a soft voice, I couldn't help hugging her tightly, meeting Rin, it was my biggest stroke of luck.
We had breakfast patiently, and before the light of dawn came again, we left for the mine, this time Rin entered with me, it was almost impossible to be ambushed from behind, to get Rin they would have to kill me.
"The mine is only 300 meters long, it's a natural mine, so just follow a slope down, it's full of kobolds, we don't know if they're strong, or if they're numerous...". Rin explained, the mission did not add any more information either, only that they wanted to recover this mine.
"Okay, let's just go forward, it would be great if you could light the way for me, otherwise it will be more problematic..." I said I was hoping Rin could do something with the enlightenment it would be a waste of time to have a hand occupied with a torch.
"Worry about killing, leave the rest to me..." Rin said with a confident smile, the next moment a ball of flames bigger than a human was flying over us...
"So you like to brag..." I muttered, laughing.
Rin could only smile as we moved forward.
It didn't take us long to cross the first group of Kobolds, they were 11, they were about a meter and a half long, and they were full of green scales, their nails were quite sharp.
"Be careful with its poison, although I can detox it, it's better if we save ourselves problems," Rin remembered in a serious voice.
Although the battle instincts of the Kobolds were better, they didn't suppose any challenge, the blood splashed the stone walls, the group only endured 11 seconds, we continued advancing, this time we found almost 40 kobolds, this time I had to use the Blood Qi, with a horizontal cut, they fell in dozens, only some that were more agile jumped or bent to avoid the cut, but the sure death awaited them anyway.
Kobold's blood was also absorbed into me, but it seems that his purity was quite bad, he had killed almost 150 kobolds and only 4 bones had improved...
"Rin, how many meters remaining? These guys are too boring..." I asked this fight didn't have any emotion, most of them couldn't take a blow.
"There should be 100 meters left, there may be some evolved Kobold or even a King, so don't let your guard down. Rin scolded me for my childish attitude, but I expected a good battle.
When there were only 50 meters left, a new species of Kobold appeared, his skin was darker, and they carried axes or different weapons, probably from humans who had killed, there were only two guards on both stone walls, and they threw themselves at me as soon as they saw me.
My response to their charge was another broad attack, they both dodged it, it seems that the agility of these guys was quite better, with a smile I left my spear on the ground and threw myself towards them body to body, I wanted some emotion, the passion of the Berserker was to fight.
Although I had never done boxing, Berserker's soul had an innate talent to all styles of fighting, since it was his role to be the king of the battlefield, in addition, the Blood Qi in my fists could hurt them.
After 10 minutes of dancing both were on the floor, blood leaked from their body, the Blood Qi had destroyed all the internal organs of Kobolds.
"Ahhhh, it turns out that my fiancé is a barbarian..." Rin said in an ironic tone as she laughed at my little battle.
"Only a barbarian is suitable to marry a wolf..." I replied while laughing out loud, the situation was always ironic, maybe I could make relationships with Half-Beast popular in this world?
Between joke and joke, we cleaned all the way to the end, there waited 40 Kobolds evolved, and a blood red Kobold, who was sitting on a small hill of bones, measured 2 meters and carried a battle ax.
"This time it's problematic, it's a Kobold King, but the problem is the evolved 40 Kobolds..." said Rin. Rin said.
"Let's try one thing, I'm going to do an elemental construction, add as much Elemental Qi as you can, but be careful with your state of health don't exceed your limits...". I proposed, I was a little worried but my curiosity was unbeatable.
"Uhm, if it goes wrong don't blame me! Rin said as she began to gather as much Elemental Qi as she could.
I shouldn't waste my time, so I started to focus on the Blood Qi, even though there wasn't much blood the Elemental Qi of Rin would make up for it, I didn't know if the effects would be as good as in the settlement of the bandits, but we could always try and improve it from our results.
When I nailed the spear to the ground and transferred the entire Blood Qi, a new force flowed through the spear with an unstoppable impulse, it seems Rin was not joking...
But the result of the experiment left me speechless, how could this happen?
"What the hell happened? Rin said while seeing the result of the dual cast.
