Out of anger and desperation Michael was barely able to reach for a nearby rock and used it to hit Raphael over the head, Raphael was very surprised because Michael was never able to sum the courage to fight back .in the past he just stood and took the beating but now he actually hit back which left Raphael momentarily stunned and Michael used the opportunity to hit him again which caused a trail of blood to run down Raphael's forehead.
When Michael saw the blood trail an urge was birth and he felt his teeth elongate ,he could strangely hear Raphael's heart beat ,he could hear the blood flow through his blood vessels he could almost taste it.
All of a sudden the wheel in his soul started spinning fast the more it spinned the more he felt drawn to the blood flowing through Raphael's veins.
He felt a surge of strength from his inside
And his instincts told him he had to have the blood by all means he picked up Raphael while all Raphael's struggles were futile in front of this being Micheal held Raphael and bit his neck almost like a muscle memory like he had done it a thousand times and slowly drained him while the wheel kept on spinning absorbing the mana from Raphael and draining him dry of his essence,life force strength.micheal came back to himself but it was already dead . Michael then dropped him And he broke into powder and scattered with the wind like he was made of clay,
By Then the wheel had slowed down but something else was strange he felt stronger,far stronger than his former self when he checked his soul he noticed two golden rings slowly rotating around the wheel in his soul.he was surprised he had gone up two ranks.what am I
The closest thing he could think of was vampires but he never heard of vampires turning people to husks and them shattering like clay they could empty a body but not like this ,or the fact that a vampire can not hust go up two ranks it was a gradual process and besides they could not drain the blood of a being stronger than them or they would explode at the spot and die.
But Micheal was an exception he felt excited at the same time scared he had found the way to grow stronger but he couldn't hide Raphael's death forever after all he was the son of a rank 5 one of the perks of being strong in this world , not only would Raphael's death be investigated by the police but also by the army after all he was one of the most talented recruits this year.micheal smelt trouble
