Chereads / In A Game As A Blood Mage / Chapter 32 - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 - Chapter 32

Lily immediately stops as she hears Alex call out, she then sees him take a deep breath and calm down. He then just gives a side glance to the small creature sitting on his shoulder, a slight nervousness is apparent in his eyes.

The creature is small, even in comparison to Alex's childish size. It is wearing a miniature dark magician's robe and hat. There is no skin shown and in its face is a pumpkin head, and it has two hexagon-shaped eyes carved and a smile carved on it too.

"Hello Hello~" Says the creature, its voice soft and childish. Alex looked away from it and looked back at Lily.

"Don't answer it, nor attack it." He warns her with a calm voice. "This is the most dangerous and tricky creature that we have encountered up to date."

Lily grimaces at that, understanding that by what he said that includes the mages too.

Alex then goes towards his backpack and the creature still sits on his shoulder, rocking itself around laughing childishly as it does that. He takes out a carrot and gives it to the creature while saying. "HelloHello, close that portal." He points at the portal to hell.

"HelloHello~" The creature exclaims in excitement as it jumps from Alex's shoulder and the carrot on its hand disappears. It then goes towards the portal and touches it.

*fwop*

Immediately, the portal disappears like it wasn't there and the creature says. "HelloHello~" as if there is no care in the world from it. Lily is amazed by this as she looks at the seemingly 'harmless' creature with eyes filled with amazement and a slight trace of fear.

*cough* Suddenly she hears a painful cough, she turns around and looks at Alex, he is on his knees and he has coughed some blood on the floor. She looks at him calmly and asks. "Is everything ok?"

Alex doesn't say anything at this, instead, he coughs even more blood. *cough* *cough*...

Out of every one of his coughs, blood came out of them and Alex's eyes are bloodshot. Lily glances back towards the little creature, only to see it gone.

'What? Where did it go?' Questions Lily as she looks around the room, but the creature is nowhere to be found. Alex on the other hand is not worried by this, he just gets up and sits back on the chair and keeps looking at the door.

Ding!

[You have lost life span: 1 Year.] reads the system notification as it appears in front of Alex's face.

'So this is what it feels like to lose one year of life span.' Contemplates as he thinks back on the creature from before. 'HelloHello, or at least that was the name the players gave to the creature from hell. Give it some food and one year of life span, after that, it will complete one of your wishes. The more complicated and harder the wish to be completed is in correlation to the victim's strength, the more life span it takes. It is considered as a strong curse on the victim, because if the victim hasn't wished for something within 24 hours, then the creature will drain all of the victim's lifespan. The worst is that if the creature is attacked, the damage is all transferred to the victim. I was very unlucky to meet a creature like HelloHello, as they are relatively rare even in hell. Now that creature can go and terrorize some other creatures in the Human Continent… damn… I will need to take care of it one day. I will need to learn some special spells on how to deal with it.'

….

But at the same time that Alex suffered, he wasn't alone, as in one of the upper deck rooms, they were more luxurious and in the room with the letter 'G' in front of it. Inside the 'friendly' middle-aged red-robbed magician is coughing blood on the ground too as his hair starts graying at a speed visible to the eye.

..

After a couple of minutes, the man's coughing stops and he stands up, wipes the blood from his lip and an enraged look is apparent on his face. "Fu*k… one decade! SH*T!!"

He was the one who had opened that portal to hell in Alex's room, even though he is a Hell Mage, he is still only Rank 2, so having his portal closed like that forcefully cost him a lot. He was currently in a weakened state as he can feel that his link with Hell has been severed.

'Sh*t, I will need to connect with the dimension again or I will be weak like this.' Contemplates Gon as the annoyed look on his face calms down and he takes a deep breath.

{Wind Blade}

But suddenly, out of nowhere and before he can react, his door is broken through and his eyes widen as he feels as if some invisible swords hit him.

Baam!

He is smashed in the wall by the power and starts bleeding profusely as countless dep cuts appear on the front of his body. In one hit he is almost taken out as he can feel the dizziness as blood spews from his body.

But before his consciousness fades away, he sees an old man in a dark robe with a long white beard and a friendly smile on his face come inside, he has his hands folded behind his back and has a relaxed posture. He is Van, the Rank 3 Mage in the ship. "Hello~ you seem to be in quite a pickle here Gon."

The bleeding man doesn't answer, but Van doesn't take this to heart as he continues. "I must say, even though you were one rank below me, I never dared mess with you due to being a Hell Mage."

*cough* Gon coughs blood as he hears this. "Bas-"

{Wind Blade Barrage}

A big green circle, half the size of a human body appears in front of the elderly man who still has a friendly smile on his face.

Fwish!

Gon's body is cut up into numerous pieces by invisible wind blades. The old man then approaches the now dead Hell Mage and looks through his clothes, patting the man down, he only finds a pouch of gold coins. But then he looks at the silver ring with strange runes on it, in God's finger, and he takes it.

As soon as he touches the ring a magic circle appears above it and he disconnects the trace that Gon had with this ring and drops a little of his own blood on the ring and then puts it on.

"Oh~ that is some nice stuff." Exclaims the old man out loudly as he still has a friendly smile on his face. "Gon, you really were a lucky bastard, you had Hell King's inheritance on you and didn't say anything. You dog~"

He then casts a floating spell and brings Gon's corpse to the bathtub and then casts a spell which conjures some red liquid that dissolves Gon's body.

"I am really feeling lucky today~" Says the old man loudly, almost as if talking to himself. He wonders if he should go and kill that kid today as he is feeling quite lucky. "Nah, I will let him tire himself a little bit more… just to be sure."
