Chapter 26 - CHAPTER 26: BLOOD-LORDS

At that time, almost thirty blood servants had surrounded Wallace, and they looked at him with hostility. "Answer us, who are you?" The guy's voice boomed as he looked at Wallace. Wallace looked at them and slowly brandished his halberd, raising his middle finger at the man who asked the question.

The latter looked at Wallace, but there was no emotion on his face.

"Interesting," he said and raised his hand up. Wallace's sense tingled as he quickly retreated with the help of his fully engaged thrusters. He saw a red sharp line in his sight, barely an inch away from him.

"Attack," the guy instructed. Mental energy rushed out from his body and formed a film around him. Multiple blood-red lines stopped a meter from him.

"What's that ability?" he thought as he felt minor impact in his brain due to the force those were carrying.

With the help of his thrusters, he arrived in front of one of them and thrust it out; the axe swept through his neck and beheaded him. He reverse-held the halberd and thrust it backward, making it enter the body of one of them, while his fist collided with another fist, and the hand of the attacker was crushed while he was thrown back.

At that moment, multiple fists broke through the psychic energy shield around him and landed on the mecha. Multiple dents appeared on the mecha as he felt a violent reaction in his brain due to his psychic shield being forcefully broken. Purple blood seeped out from his eyes while his body rocked in the mecha as force was transmitted into his body through the mecha.

The mecha was now a hindrance to him because of its massive size, but he couldn't leave it because his face would be exposed if he left the mecha, and he couldn't use the spatial ability in front of these blood servants, so he had to rely on the durability of his mecha to fight fifteen of them, and the situation was getting worse because he could see that the two of them he heavily injured in the fight earlier had already recovered.

Engaging the thrusters, he moved in high speed as he performed a series of forceful maneuvers, and he arrived in front of one blood servant. His halberd thrust into the head of the servant. At the same time, his body rocked immensely, and the surface of the mecha dented a little bit as the red lines hit him.

Within two seconds, another one was taken down, but he spat out a mouthful of blood due to the massive force creaking through his body. Three minutes later, he had taken everyone down except the guy, but it felt as if his internal organs had been displaced, and his face was pale with blood at the corners of his mouth.

If it had been another person, they would have died earlier, but his body allowed him to forcefully withstand the force, and his strong physique tried its best to alleviate the pain, and he even had to use blood amplification. The surface of the mecha was unrecognizable anymore as it had been dented in many places; he reckoned that it would take some time for the mecha to recover from this damage, and its quality would reduce by then.

He walked towards the guy,

"Tell me who you guys are," he asked the guy, who wanted to move but found out that his leg had been frozen. The guy's face changed when he found out that he was trapped, and he knew that this mecha in front of him was stronger than him.

"Do you think that I will tell you?" he smiled mysteriously. Wallace's sense tingled as the hair on his body stood on its end, and

"Boom" - the whole place, including the base, exploded. The guy was incinerated while the mecha surface melted before it was submerged in the debris of the ruined base.

Everything only happened within a second.

"Puah" - Wallace knelt on the floor ten meters away from the base, and blood streamed from his mouth. Streamlined cracks had spread throughout his skin, and blood was occasionally streaming out from them.

The area around seven meters of the base had been incinerated; he sensed the danger earlier and without hesitation, he used spatial teleportation, but the instant it exploded, and he was about to walk out from the other end of the passage, the space suddenly turned chaotic, and countless spatial cracks appeared, and the passage almost closed.

He quickly jumped out from the passage because he knew that if he was a second late, he would be doomed, but he was still hit by the terrifying chaotic energy of the passage, which severely injured him, and upon getting out from the base, he was hit by the terrifying shockwaves from the explosion.

He barely escaped death. Forcefully picking himself up, which aggravated the injury, he quickly left the vicinity of the ruin because he knew that it would soon attract some people. When he was some meters away, he utilized spatial teleportation and soon left the space, but he was now in the forest, where there were occasional wandering beasts.

There was a very high chance that he would run into a beast. The space in front of him cracked open, and Little White, who had transformed into a massive tiger, appeared in front of him. It carried him and quickly journeyed through the space back to his house.

The tiger transformed into Little White and quickly fell asleep. It had used up a lot of its energy to utilize the teleportation to get to him. "Ah" - He groaned as he went to the plant inside his room; ever since he learned that he could control water and wood elements, for now on the surface, he had started to accumulate plants in his room, and even the third room in the villa was full of them.

He closed his eyes as mana quickly left his body, and he connected with the wood element; the energy from the wood quickly entered his body, and he quickly directed it to the most severe part. After almost one hour, and five pots of plants in his room had withered, the cracks on his skin had reduced, but not as much as before; it still looked severe on the surface, but underneath them had already been crudely reattached.

Internal injury to his body had been healed to ten percent, and that ten percent were the most severe ones that were enough to threaten his life. His mana had been exhausted, and he felt fatigue hit him before he laid on the ground and slept off immediately.

**************************************

Inside a dark room in an unknown space, a man who looked like he was in his twenties, and a beautiful lady stood beside him. They looked at the map projected on the screen with countless green and blue lights. One of the blue lights had been destroyed.

"One of our bases has been destroyed," the man said as he looked at the red light. "Who has the gut to do this to the League of Shadows?" he asked. "Is it the Holy Cult or the League of Assassins?" the lady asked.

"No, we three are working towards a main goal, and humans are just our livestock in this aspect," the guy answered. "Hmm, then who can do this?" he asked. "I've called someone from the city the moment I got here, and he talked about a new mecha moving around the city some weeks ago, so the attacker must have been from the city," the guy answered.

"What should we do now?" he asked.

"We are the League of Shadows, and since a person has found out about us, it's like bringing us to light, and the person is quite strong; the informant himself does not know that there is someone inside the city except the various leaders that can match the blood servant who can deal with rank thirty warriors with ease.

"We will take the city down, it just so happens that we need more livestock and the otherworldly are pestering us to get access to this world. We are given ten years to allow them access, by then we must have been powerful enough to be able to resist them," he answered.

"How many rank 1 blood lords do we have at the moment?" the guy asked.

"I think that a rank 1 blood lord is too much to deal with these people, after all, our rank 1 blood lords are stronger than rank 60 magico," she answered him.

"Hmm, we have close to ten thousand rank 1 blood lords plus the fifteen we are manufacturing from the good seedlings now, they will be rank 1," he answered.

"We havea little more than five thousand rank 2 blood lords, three thousand rank three, a thousand rank 4, six hundred rank 5, four hundred rank 6, ten rank 7, and we are the only two rank 8 blood-lords," the lady answered.

"It's enough to go on a full war with the humans now, we are far strobger than them and coupled with skull and holy cult, we can make them submit" the guy said.

"What are we going to do then?" the lady asked.

"Try to infiltrate the two empires and throw them into chaos while we stabilize the empire " he asked.

"Talking about chaos, how long will it take the rank 6 blood lord closest to reach the city.

"It will take two weeks," he answered.

"Have the blood servants there hibernate for a little time, we will commence with a fast attack on the city at night, and we will finish everything that night without giving them a chance to react.

"They'll think it's the Skull Terrorist attack, and we will get more seeded live-stocks to continue getting blood-lords that are more than rank 1," he said.

"But there are usually supreme magus in a big city like that, and any loss we incur is permanent because there's no more catalyst to induce the creation of more blood-lords" the lady answered.

"Even though I can't make a move now, we can still work with the Skull Terrorist group to take care of them, so if we succeed, we'll get what we want, and if we don't, we'll just lose a little reserve force. We'll go back into hiding then,and there's still the origin tree, if we can get it we can take control of the planet" he said.

The lady nodded in agreement. "Let's start making preparations. We can't let our plans be ruined by a single person," she said. The man nodded and started giving orders to the other members of the League of Shadows.
