When I woke up, I found myself in my room. I tried to stand up but a terrible pain traveled around all my body that stopped me to do so. Looking around I could see that I was coated in blood, there was even a tray of blood coming from the door. Due to the sheer quantity of blood, it was obvious that was more of my enemies rather than mine.
I looked at the ceiling "At least, I'm alive" my muscles inched, I could sense some of my ribs broken, with cuts and holes everywhere of my body.
At that moment I sensed someone near my door. I was exhausted to stand up, but it didn't mean that I couldn't move. I didn't even wait to see who it was, I invoked my sword and coated in Death Intent. A little push from my part and the sword shot to the door, the sword destroyed the door leaving my vision. I could listen to the sound of something crashing. I reinvoked my sword, pointing to the door prepared for another shot.
From the door entered Black, she had a scythe in her arms and 7 rings around her. I looked at her "The Slaughter King send you here to kill me?"
She looked at me coldly and her scythe disappeared "We are only permitted to attack with spirit skills to people trying to run away, if I broke the contract, it will mean my death" She threw me a glass with some red liquid, for some reason the content didn't fall.
I received and drank it knowing it was a Bloody Mary "You only came to serve me a drink?" I said grinned.
Her cold look didn't change "The Slaughter King was impressed for your display yesterday and looks forward to your next participation in the Hell Slaughter Arena" After saying this she left, behind her a brown-masked man started repairing the door.
After 2 minutes, I was alone again "Of course the Slaughter King would have an interest in me. I need to play well with my cards if I want him not to kill me. Unlike Tang San and Hu Liena I don't have a Deathgod backing me. But now is not the time. I will take advantage of my injures and don't participate anymore for the time being"
I concentrated on healing my injuries, some brown-masked woman came calling herself a nurse that helped to heal me the basic. The truth is that being near anyone in this City is mentally exhausting, you need always to be alert for an attack. Even if black and brown masks represent the Slaughter King's men and are prohibited to be were by anyone. It won't be the first time that someone tries to deceive another one with the mask and killed another. If the Slaughter King finds it you will be dead, but if there are no witnesses there's no crime.
I needed a month to return to perfect condition. It was too soon, so I decided to not participate in the Arena for the time being. I kept practicing my intents, they finally stabilized. I could completely fuse the Killing and Death Intent, without much problem. The fusion of domains was impossible, but at least my new Killing Domain was complete. The energy absorbed from Ripper really help in my comprehension. I also sensed myself closer to the Death Sword Heart, having clashed with a Sword Heart really helped, especially as it has the intention to kill me in life and death battle if it was simple spar the results will be worse.
I spent my time with some meditation and killing some idiot that tried to attack me, you won't image how leaving a blood tray to one room would attract people to attack, really a too easy to trap people, not that there was any meaning but I liked to play with people.
It's surprising how with only a little time without appearing in public, people seemed to have completely forgotten about me. Maybe, they suspected I was dead.
With this routine, another 2 months passed. I was walking around when I listened to some grunts "Oh, a newcomer, what a beauty! Do you want to play with daddy?". I looked watching 3 men surrounding a girl, I shook my head, this is part of the daily life here. I looked more attentively at the girl and a grin could help to be made [Finally! She is here!].
The girls had a long black hair combed in a ponytail, she was wearing black clothes that couldn't hide her perfect figure. Her most characteristic feature was her eyes that shined with a pink charming light. She was neat and charming, a great contrast with the women leaving her. It was Hu Liena, part of the Golden Generation of Spirit Hall that participated in the last Continental Tournament. To tell the truth, she was my type, I wouldn't mind fucking her, but there were more important things.
Liena took out a dagger, and with swiftly swung around, with precise cuts at the men's neck she killed them all. Her movement wasn't bad at all, it was normal for her in the original story to become the champion of the Arena, and that was considering she was now a rookie in the city.
After killing the three men she spun turning towards me and shot her dagger to me. I looked at the dagger movement and lifted my left hand. I only needed two-finger to take hold of the dagger between my fingers. Liena charged to me taking out another dagger. With a swift movement of my wrist, I shot the dagger to her. She easily deflected with her dagger sending the throwing dagger away.
Just as she arrived near me and was about to thrust forward. I showed my Killing Intent, this wasn't my sword one that could kill, it was simply a pressure gained by killing people. This sudden intent made her flinch for an instant. I took advantage of that instant jumping at her, holding her wrist and throwing her to the ground, me on top of her.
Being immobilized by my weight, she couldn't move anymore. I grinned at her, I just said that the mix of anger and terror in the look of her eyes was really cute. I leaned to her, chest with chest, I approached my mouth to her, stealing a kiss. My tongue invading her mouth and playing around rudely. I really liked how she struggled to be free some tears even falling her eyes.
After 20 seconds, breaking the kiss I could see her red face, blushing a lot while tears were falling her eyes, the anger in her eyes had disappeared. I stood at up, licked my lips and looked at her "Tasty. I won't mind another time. Enjoy your time here, welcome to Slaughter City" I left the place while laughing.
Liena recovered from her shock, she blushed a lot and stood up and cleaned herself, her angry look returned looking at the direction the boy who ashamed her left. She clenched her teeth and shouted with a murderous look "I'll kill you scum!" not forgetting the boy's black hair and eyes and his handsome face.
After leaving Hu Liena I went to the Hell Slaughter Arena. I went to the desk and signed for the next match, the match was prepared for 2 hours later.
When the match started I invoked my sword and started slicing my rivals little by little completely enjoying the moment. [Today was a good day, relieving myself a little]. It didn't take more than 5 minutes for or my rivals to die at my sword.
Leaving the Arena a black-masked young woman was waiting for me "The Slaughter King invites you to a meeting. Follow me" She turned around without waiting for my answer, knowing that the words of the Slaughter King were law here. I followed her, letting myself be guided.
