Chereads / Blood Warlock in Danmachi / Chapter 8 - The second step

Chapter 8 - The second step

Going past the upper Floors back to the surface it becomes extremely clear to Sanguinius that his Aura seems to be different, people dare not approach him and he is scaring off everybody around him as if he is some wild beast

Confused he quickly travels to the top Floor of babel to find Freya which almost makes the guards protecting the Gods rooms attack him because of his threatening aura 

He walks into Freya's room making even his own Goddess think she was being attacked "what happened why are you like that" she asked in alarm while holding a slightly defensive posture 

"I don't know, it happened after killing an infant dragon in the dungeon" he answered with an equally confused expression making Freya fall into deep contemplation 

"It might be a new skill lets update your status before doing anything else" proposed Freya before proceeding to drop her blood on his back but this time it doesn't get absorbed like usual instead it lingers on his back before abruptly starting to hungrily suck more blood from her finger

Freya pulls back making the suction stop and looks at him intrigued at what's happening, she can see his body glow in a bright crimson colour that radiates out of her rooms window before pulling back and and transforming into a blood red cocoon around his body like the one he appeared in at the beginning 

Putting her hand on the cocoon she can feel his heart beat and lifeforce still rigirously beating meaning he is still alive along with an unknown familiar sensation that she cant quite put her finger on

She sits down on her bed and observes the cocoon deciding to wait until whatever is happening to him finishes 

For the next 3 days Freya doesn't leave her room making Ottar and her Familia concerned about what could be happening but she dismisses their concerns and instead just focuses on his cocoon, waiting for him to finish his transformation

After 3 days the cocoon finally shows some change revealing Sanguinius inside but in a entirely different form almost like he became a different person

His hair and eyes have transitioned into an entirely Blood red colour along with his body becoming significantly larger by around 15 centimetres reaching 205 centimetres almost reaching the same height as ottar

His musculature has become almost inhuman with muscles large enough to cause great violence but small enough not to hinder movement while fighting, even his face has seen some change becoming a mix of unholy handsomeness and intimidating

Standing proudly in his birthday suit as his previously worn clothes got torn apart by the transformation he smiles arrogantly feeling invincible like he could fight the world and win dominantly 

"Sit down I need to look at your status" said Freya while eyeing his nakedness hungrily before revealing his now updated Status

"Damn" said Sanguinius while looking at his status "I'm not even human anymore" 

Causing Freya to reply " you really are an abnormality in every way, I didn't expect your skill to actually evolve you into a entirely different race as part of its evolution" 

"But at least we now know why you were releasing so much killing intent earlier" added freya pointing to his Blood wolfs aura skill

Nodding at her he takes another look at his status making Sanguinius feel like the description of his skills doesn't describe the skills full potential accurately, almost like he can do more now after his level up but leaves it for later as he has different plans for today 

Parting ways with Freya while ignoring her advances at him, he walks through the streets of Orario getting the gazes of the surrounding pedestrians because of his now larger stature and unique features

"At least now I don't terrify everybody I meet" thought Sanguinius after being able to now control his bloodlust because of his new Blood wolfs aura skill holding it all together 

Walking past an alley way near the adventures Guild he coincidently locks eyes with Rose making her take a step back and thoroughly examine his face before coming to the conclusion that it was him 

"What happened? you look so much different" asked Rose with a sceptical tone in her voice, still not 100 percent sure if it was actually him

"Yea I had a "little" change because of a skill" answered Sanguinius trying to be unclear about what actually happened making Rose curious but eventually relenting to his sudden and abrupt change not just in appearance but also personality 

"So what made you come to this part of Orario" questioned Rose making Sanguinius respond that he came here to buy a house for himself after saving his earnings in the dungeon the last months

Understanding, Rose offers to help him find a good place as she has some experience in this particular subject

"Sure, I would appreciate it if you helped" spoke Sanguinius happy for getting her help before setting off to the residential district where the most homes are naturally gathered 

Spending half of the day together they eventually find a suitable place that isn't to far from Folksvangr so that he can get there in case of an emergency and is also spacious and large enough to handle his now increased body size

As for Negotiating with the estate agent, Sanguinius leaves it to Rose as he trusts her with this which eventually leads to her dropping the price of the estate from over 1 million Valis to just under 800 thousand 

Satisfied he completes the contract with the agent paying a sum of around 800 thousand Valis which almost depletes most of his savings that he was storing the last few months

The house is set up with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with multiple storeys, a large garden and backyard along with other necessities of a good house

Looking through the rooms Sanguinius thinks he should furnish it before the day gets dark once again asking for Rose´s help, mostly allowing her to choose the furniture which consists of predominantly red or crimson coloured chairs and beds which is her favourite colour and also his making him not really mind it

After using the entirety of the day they finally finish and admire their handywork which is mostly Rose´s

"Make sure to visit whenever you want and sleep over if you need it" offers Sanguinius as thanks for her help

"its nothing, I just enjoy helping my adventures even if it isn't related to the dungeon" says Rose with a cute smile

Looking at the time Rose leaves, leaving Sanguinius alone in his new home making him think "its been 2 months and I finally have a home to call my own" before settling down in his new bed and falling asleep
