Arriving back to the cave I saw my disciple?
The reason I didn't know was because he had grown a few feet and had the height of a teenager now he seemed unconscious until I got closer
Then he sprang up seemingly on edge
"Oh it's just you master…" he said
"I'm so hungry do you have any food?" He asked
"Yea right here" I threw the corpse of the librarian to him
"Huh?" He asked
"Your a monster like me now you gotta eat the flesh of people to survive and get stronger"
"WHAT?! YOU DIDNT SAY THIS WAS A PART OF BEING YOUR DISCIPLE!" He yelled
"SHUT UP BRAT! YOU WANT MY STRENGTH THEN YOU GOTTA MAKE SACRIFICES" I yelled back
"Now eat" I ordered
Seeing the kid instantly obey I knew the ritual had worked
After he finished I felt qi enter me
'Huh the previous owner didn't have any information on this, does the qi he gets from eating slip some to me?'
'Speaking of witch I feel a mental connection to him now'
Seeing the brat disgusted I said
"What not good enough for you, you ungrateful little shit?"
"No no just…can't believe I've become a demon" he said
"Good now tell me on this map where your sect was"I said as I pulled out the map
"Right here" he said pointing to the edge of the continent we were on
"Alright then we will go there and *borrow* some books" I said clearly alluding to stealing their arts
"Why do we need to do that we have a library in town?" The kid? teen? I need his name asked
'Forgot he was a kid for a second' I thtought pinching the bridge of my nose'
"Brat what is your name?" I asked
"Gyeoljeong Hallasan" the boy replied
"Jeong is your nickname" I said not bothering to know if it actually was
"Now Jeong we are not going to your sect for their normal books but for their martial arts books understand?"
"Why would you want my sects martial arts" he asked
"Cause they might have something useful now follow!"
We headed to a road and I checked the boys transformation
Where I had cut off his feet and hands had become the same steel substance as I had but it wasn't covered by skin like mine
'How am I gonna make these books less cumbersome?'
Then I felt a pull from my stoumach feeling it and pulling myself out came bones of those I had eaten
'That could work'
Eating the books whole I could feel I could pull them out if needed
"Uh sir why did you do that" he asked
"Storage now stop asking questions"
Heading towards the road we went towards the destroyed sect
Only moving during night as to avoid trouble and training my disciple in the crimson mutilation arts during the day we finnaly arrived on a sandy beach after a few days
"I remember where we are I know where the sect is follow me"
Walking along the beach I saw a gate in the distance will towering walls
Though the gate was destroyed leaving what would be an nigh impenetrable fortress to normal people to one that they could enter easily
Walking up to the gate we could hear a commotion
"I thought you said your people were killed" I asked
"They were" he asserted
Carful to hide behind the walls we looked in and saw
A band of bandits
