Chereads / The Blood King / Chapter 85 - Past Aquaintence

Chapter 85 - Past Aquaintence

Blood energy coursed through his wings and fingernails, giving him the pleasurable feeling of strength. With a flap of his wings, the small pesky spiders were killed easily, but the main spider began creating more distance between them instantly.

"...i only have a few minutes, so..." He stepped hard on the ground before shooting off, using his wings to propel himself, as he closed the distance between him and the spider swiftly.

He slashed out, as poisonous wind blades shot out, and while most were dodged, the rest were blocked easily by the spider's legs. " I think those eyes are a problem!" Levi shouted, as blobs of poison shot out after the retreating spider. Although he could only see a cluster of different colors, he could still vaugely see the outlines of things.

"!!" Puchi! He chased behind the spider easily, but then, it abruptly back towards him, before stabbing him through his chest.

" Hehe!" A sinister laughter rang out, as he exploded into smoke. Kri! The spider cried out unhappily, as it stopped levi's sparehead shaped hand with it's fangs. " Ahh! Don't touch me with that nasty mouth!" Levi shouted, as ant acid shot out.

kriiii!!!

The spider screeched loudly, as it's fangs began desolving in the ant acid. grushu! The sound of liquid being sprayed rang out, as a dark green liquid was spat into Levi's face.

" ahhhh!" Levi screamed, and without a second thought, he sent ant acid toward his eyes. " you..." levi spoke coldly, as tears of blood flow from his eyes, before they gradually healed.

"....Tch...acting up again!" Veins bulged on levi's body, as he furiously suppressed his bloodlines. ' I have to finish this now!' He thought, as the ends of his wings split into 5 parts each, before shooting out towards the spider's body.

Seeing this, the spider instinctively tried to create some distance between itself and Levi once again. " Don't run!" Levi shouted, as he grabbed onto one of the large fangs. ' I can't compete with it's strength!' Levi thought, as the fang slipped from his hand.

" But those few seconds were enough..." He said softly, as his wings successfully stabbed into the spider's body. KRIIII!KRIIII!!! The spider released a blood curdling screech, as black silk shot out from the leg under it's body.

Puchi! sphu!

The sound of flesh being peirced and blood spraying rang out, as multiple spiders the size of small buckets covered levi, biting and stabbing their legs into his flesh. Ignoring the pain, Levi stopped using all of his bloodline abilities except for his wings and fingernails.

The red and black lines on his wings began to fade, as the red lines on his fingernails became brighter. Puchi! " ...!" Levi ignored the pain, as he lifted his arm, directing it towards the spider's black, slightly hairy head.

Teng!

Before his fingernails could peirce through it's head, the spider lifted it's head, catching his hand with it's large fangs again. Sphu! chi! The spider spat a green liquid at levi's face once again, but before it could touch his face, he turned his head.

Blisters and blood appeared on the side of his face, as the spider's venom ate away at it. " humph!" Levi snorted coldly, as he turned his head and looked at the spider once again. " You are putting your life on the line to survive...but so am I!" He shouted coldly.

Crack!

The spider's large black fangs cracked, as levi put more strength into his arm. Crack! His fingernails broke through the spider's fangs, as a goopy green liquid dripped out. kriee!! The spider screeched weakly, as levi once again lifted his arm.

Puchi! KRIII!! puchi! KRIIIIEE!!! PUCHI! kr--iii..kri..iii...The spider screeched softly. Puchi! After a few seconds, it's large body dropped to the ground, pulling Levi down with it, as his wings were still stuck in it's body. He pulled his wing's from the spider's body, as they fused back together, before disappearing back into his body. Afterwards, he got up and looked down at the spider, who's head was riddled with large holes.

" Aghhh!" Levi suddenly started shouting, as his fingers bent backward weirdly. His face streaching forwards, as his back bent. " Behave!!!" his voice boomed as he shouted, forcefully suppressing his raven bloodline.

" Huff! huff! Is that yin yang seal even still working to suppress these bloodlines?! Did i siphon off too much of the extreme yin and yang to open my primordial meridians?!" Levi shouted to himself, as he covered his ears with trembling hands. His ears were ringing loudly, as blood flowed from his nose.

" I-i have to leave here! If i stay, something else might show up!" He shouted, still covering his ears as he got up unsteadily. "...Not there!" He shouted, as he looked in the direction of the village.

Now that he was so out of energy, going to that village would be akin to tying himself up and waiting for the pack of wolves surrounding him to leave. Would they leave? Sure, but not before eating him! "Cave! That cave! I should still be able to find it!" Growl! He shouted, before a loud growling sound rang out.

" Huh..." He suddenly lowered his arms, looking agound cautiously. He was out of blood energy, and he was sure that if he used any of his bloodline abilities before resting, that he would turn into some kind of monster, so he was on edge.

Growl!

He heard the sound again, as his head snapped down. " Was it my stomach?" He spoke a little softer, as the ringing stopped. Puchi! puchi! "....fucking hell.." His eyes darkened, as he looked at the supposedly dead spider. Something was moving around under the spider's skin, as if trying to escape.

Puchi! Rip! The sound of ripping rang out, as multiple tiny white legs ripped through the the spider's skin. " Oh god...please no..." Levi said softly, as tiny bumps appeared on his skin. Rustle! A small white spider the size of a palm crawlled out from under the black skin, before running off.

This spider was followed by 10, then 50, then 100. " NOOOOO!!!" Levi screamed with a pale face. He thoroughly hated spiders at this point, but because he was unable to kill them at the moment, he could only shout, and hope that none of them would come his direction. " Spiders....everywhere.." All hope left his eyes as he watched hundreads or possibly thousands of spiders run off in different directions.

" Blood...first i should find a source of blood to absorb..." He clenched his fist, his face still pale. At the thought of blood, his gaze drifted toward the spider's corpse.

" bleah!" He almost vomited at the thought, but forcefully kept his stomach acid in his stomach. He walked up to the corpse hesitantly, before taking the sabre from the spatial ring.

"....I have to be strong....if i don't hurry, more things might appear here!" He shouted, as if to convince himself. Crunch! The sabre stabbed into the spider's body, as a crunch rang out. A green gooey liquid poured out, but Levi ignored it.

" There!" He was silent for a few seconds before shouting, as an almost glowing blob of green blood poured out of the spider before floating. Growl!!! his stomach growled again in protest.

"...." He silently eyed the corpse as if he was conflicted about something. He was both hungry and tired, and it would be dangerous for him to go sightseeing on this mountain in his condition. And no matter how injured he was, he was not going to absorb that nasty looking green goo.

So his only other option was to eat. Crack open that hard exoskeleton and see if there was any flesh. " ugh..." He groaned in discontent, as he grabbed onto the spider's two front legs. '...was this thing always so light?' He thought, as he pulled along the spider's body, which was surprisingly light, as dragging sounds rang out.

...

Night time.

Levi dragged the spiders corpse for a long time. Although it was light, he was still worn out as he arrived in front of his old home. He was currently standing in front of a cave's opening, with what used to be a spider's corpse, while the blob of green blood still floated over his shoulder.

" Damn this place!" Levi muttered under his breath. The other reason he was worn out was that, while dragging the spider, the sun went down, which mean that certain things came out to play. And, these things were more lively than when the sun was out.

Multiple carnivorous vines and plants wraped around the spider's corpse, ripping off the sack that the tiny spiders crawlled out of, along with all other legs except for the ones he held. He himself was almost caught by these things multiple times, only escaping by the skin of his teeth.

Without wasting any time, he walked into the cave, but instead of stopping right away, he walked a good distance in. He then proceeded to try using the little bit of qi in his primordial meridians to make fire, so that he wouldn't freeze to death.

He found some scattered coals on the ground, and after multiple attempts, finally lit a fire. "....I have no apatite.." Levi said, as he eyed what was left of the spider's corpse. ' Of course i don't have an apatite. who would, while looking at this thing?!' He thought.

" Sigh..." Crack! He got up and used the sabre to cut a large circle in the spider's body. A dull thud rang out, as he dropped a circular piece of exoskeleton on the rocky ground. He then stuck his hand in the hole and fished about, until his hand met a soft and squish substance.

When he pulled out his hand, a piece of pale greenish, veiny flesh was in it. After convincing himself, he went back beside the dimming fire, before growing out one of his fingernails and sticking it though the soft spider flesh, as he held it over the fire.

" Is it done?" He mumbled, as he brought the meat to his nose and sniffed, before taking a reserved bite. "..." He chewed silently. Gulp! He swallowed. "....Disgusting...absolutely...disgusting..." He said with a straight face. Despite saying this, he brought the meat to his mouth again, as he bit off a larger piece. It's texture was like that of scrambled eggs, but the taste was horrible, inexplicably horrible.

The sound of a person chewing, while weeping echoed through the cave, as levi ate the disgusting spider's, possibly, organ meat. Step! drip! drip! Heavy steps along with a dripping sound rang out at the cave's opening.

" Hmm? I somehow feel strangely full of energy, even the small bit of qi i used up is replensihed....my wounds are healing fast as well...infinitely slower then if i healed them myself, but, healing....i guess with every sacrifice, there is a reward...." Levi mumbled with a tear in his eye, as he got up to fish about in the spider's insides for another piece of meat.

Drip! step!

"..." Hearing steps, Levi lifted his head, as he looked towards the cave's opening. "..." He silently held the sabre in his hand, as he waited patiently. " H-huh? smoke? light? a fire! is someone th- wait..if someone is there, they must be from that damn place..." The person shouted, as their figure came to a stop, still cloaked in darkness.

Levi said nothing, as he watched and waited. Silently, a forcefull killing intent spread through the cave. Feeling this, levi released a cold and gloomy killing intent in response. Step! The person's killing intent was little, but thick, while levi's was vast, as it spread to the depths of the cave.

Step!

"....You...." The person stepped into the dim light, his sleeveless robe stained with blood and dirt, as one of his muscular arms hung limply by his side with multiple scars on it. " Aren't you...levi?" The person looked at levi with shock in his eyes, while levi looked back at him coldly.

' Isn't he....Noah? From the demonic god sect? Why is he on desolate mountain...' Levi thought silently.
