Ethan rushed over to Ella, while trying his best to evade any attack from other shadow beasts.
Immediately he got to her, the shadow beast's claws was only an inch away from touching her chest. But Ethan arrived in the nick of time, and used his dagger to block the strike.
" Wrong person to touch buddy," Ethan raised the dagger into the air and striked it down in a swift motion, forcing the shadow beast's body to split into two, killing it.
" What the fuck are you doing here?!" Ethan said, as an angered exppression appeared on his face.
He didn't know why, but he felt attached to her, he wanted to make sure nothing happens to her. He had to make sure.
" I should be the one asking that question, what the future are you doing here?!" Ella threw back the question at Ethan, forcing him to be silent for a while.
" Go and hide behind that tree," Ethan said, as he pointed at a tree a few distance away from here.
He wanted her to go as far away as possible, but he also wanted to keep hee safe, and the only way to do that is to keep an eye on her.
" But i- watch out!"
Before she could respond, she spotted a shadow beast heading in their direction and about to slice Ethan's head off with it's claws.
Instinctively, Ethan turned around, dodged the attack, and sent a flurry of strikes at the beast which made it Yelp in agony, as it was being cut into a million pieces.
Ella was shocked at the quick response of Ethan, she was actually expecting the beast to have landed the attack.
Ethan looked like a strong battle hardened warrior that had gone through thousands of heavenly trails without a scratch. What kind of insane suffering must he had gone through to acquire such skills?
Ella was just absolutely shocked at Ethan's battle skills.
" Ella! Go now!" Ethan said, as he rushed back into the horde of beast and began slicing his way through them like a butcher if death.
Immediately, Ella ran towards the tree and his behind it, as she watched Ethan risk his life to fight off those beasts.
Normally, if Ethan had just gone through the werewolf world stream trail like any other werewolf, he would have probably died in the hands of the first shadow beast. But that alone wasn't all.
Ethan had already gotten a few fragments of his memories from what he experienced in the blood world stream.
**Flashback**
Ethan stared at the blood sovereign with confused eyes, as he explained a lot about blood. He felt as if he was back in biology class.
" The blood is a gateway to life. If you don't have blood, you canybe alive, although there are a few exceptions to this, but for most creatures, without blood, you would even be able to survive a nano second," The blood sovereign said in an explanatory tone.
" And to be able to control blood to your will, you first of all have to be able to understand it. And to be able to understand it, you have to connect with the blood rushing through your veins,"
Ethan was immediately confused by that sentence," connect with the blood in my body? How does that even work?"
" Somehow," The blood sovereign shrugged. " So here's the thing Ethan, I will show you a step of movements, which you will use to connect with your blood, once you do that, you would be able to make your body and your mind become one,"
" Become one, what do you mean by that?" Ethan asked inquisitively.
" It means, your body's natural instict would be hightened above that of a regular human, and you would be able to move in ways that no ordinary human can dream of. You would be able to fight. Although not as well as me, but you would at least be able to beat up a hundred people, give or take," said the blood sovereign with a nonchalant shrug, as if beating up a hundred people would be very determental to his status.
" Well then let us begin, because to learn this skill to the beginner level, you might take a hundred years or more. But lucky for you, you don't age in the world stream realm. Time is a concept of the mind," Sai the blood sovereign, as he got into a strange position that made him look like he was just about to release a dung.
**Flashback ended**
As Ethan cut through the horde of shadow beast, he realized that he had already killed half of them. Today, I'm officially a mass murderer and I don't feel an ounce of guilt for it.
" Ethan focus!" Amon reminded him that he was still in the middle of an intense battle. This whole time, Amon had been very quiet, he had also seen the memories that Ethan had unlocked about the blood sovereign, making many things cleared to him. He also understood why Ethan was able to fight like that.
" I can't believe it! It seems that the universe had truly not turned it's back on me. It even gave me such a perfect host!" Amon said silently, so as to make sure that Ethan didn't hear him.
As Ethan continued trying his best to cut down the horde, he realized that six of his spears had already been distroyed, leaving him with inly three, but at the same time, it was becoming difficult to control them all for he had been using his will power for too long, his mind had become exhausted.
Even though he was now a part of the supernatural world, he would always be a victim to exhaustion, no matter what he does.
But even with the odds beginning to go against him, Ethan had only one thing left in his mind.
I'M NEVER GOING TO GIVE UP!!
With that Ethan moved with a faster speed as he tried his best to cut his way through the shadows of darkness.
The beings of the void.
He wanted to end the shadow beast. He was like a one man army, one that was ready to slay the world for just the fun of it.
But suddenly, the shadow beast stared at each other. They knew if this goes on, Ethan would be able to kill them all. So much of their brothers and sisters are already dead, now only thrity-six of them is left and still decreasing.
They had no choice. They had to do it, even if he risk is big, it's either that, or death.
Suddenly, they began coming together, they disfigured body moving together to become one.
They were merging!!
" Amon, what's happening?" Ethan asked, puzzled by the current situation.
" Ethan, Run!"
Ethan didn't even want to aks any more questions, he turned around and ran, but immediately after taking not more than two steps. He saw a gigantic evil looking shadow beast right in front of him.
" Oh shit! I'm dead... it's over," Ethan said, with the pressing feeling in his chest to just cry.
