章 26: Magical Energy Crippled
Kai tried to channel his ME to his eyes and much to his dismay and panic he discovered that had no magic energy whatsoever left in his body!
In the beginning, his thoughts were 'let's wait until some of the energy is generated after all that weird dragon absorbed all of the magical energy that I had in my body. Now I just need to wait for my body to replenish its reserve. It should take 1 minute for ME to start to return to my body.'
Kai waited for a minute and nothing happened apart from his growing loss of self-confidence and fear of ME loss. The one minute turned into 5 and Kai broke down on anger and loss.
'So, I've been learning magic for 4 years nonstop without any break and the moment I leave the country I get my years of effort destroyed!' Kai thought angrily to himself.
Kai started to rage over the fact that he had such terrible luck and was about to destroy the surroundings when he realised that his body had been immobilised.
Kai tried to fight the restraints but much to his resistance and fear he discovered that he couldn't move any part of his body.
Kai tried to calm down and assess the situation, after a few moments of breathing slowly and taking deep breaths, he calmed down to a moderate level. He was still mad, but he could control himself, without letting his emotions take control.
Kai shouted out to his surroundings "who's there?" Instead of getting a reply from his surroundings he heard a familiar voice coming from inside his body. "It's sad that you don't take my warnings seriously Kai." The voice was the manifestation of his subconsciousness, the being that created the blood orb.
"Why have you only shown up now, I could have used your assistance earlier," Kai said immaturely. "First let's talk inside the blood orb's inner world, then I will answer your questions."
Kai was sucked into the blood orb and was instantly shown the world that he had visited 4 years ago. The blood-red skies, crimson earth and endless red clouds spanning further than the eye can see.
In front of Kai was an exact copy of himself only completely coloured in red.
"Now you're complaining that I didn't show up earlier when you disturbed the dragon. But I don't think that I have to intervene every time you do something foolish. Listen up you fool you are a vampire progenitor yes, but as I told you before you aren't invincible. There are many more powerful beings than you in this world. One example would have been that dragon.
You could have easily avoided it, but no, you had to break through the many seals that were restricting it and release that dragon from its cage. Now the result is that you can no longer use magic energy. Now try and think of the reason why?"
Kai tried to think of the reason that he didn't have any ME left. Logically the only reason for his magic energy crippling was due to the dragon infiltrating the blood orb. It must have absorbed a crucial element in ME absorption, that stunted his use of ME.
Kai explained his hypothesis to his copy. "So, you do understand why you won't be able to use any magic energy anymore. It's because its related to the soul. The soul controls the ME and creates a vessel for the ME to gather.
The dragon managed to infiltrate your soul that was residing inside the blood orb, while it was only for a brief moment it tore out the vessel from your soul. That is the reason why I've awoken." The copy looked bitter and annoyed.
Kai looked at his copy and said "sorry" in a dejected tone. "Do you know of a way, where I can still use magic?" The copy looked at Kai with an intense gaze to see how he was holding up and told him you do realise that magic was the only way you could heal and strengthen your soul right. Now you're asking me to give you a miracle that will allow you to instantly use magic.
Kai looked at the copy with hopeful eyes and asked him "Do you?" The copy looked at Kai with an exasperated look and said "yes. Now first do you still have blood strands?" "Yes, why," asked Kai in a puzzled tone. "Good, that means you still aren't hopeless. You can substitute the ME with blood strands. But it will require practice and patience."
Kai looked at the copy in disbelief and asked him in a doubtful tone " you can use blood strands as ME, I thought that it could only substitute physical abilities such as strength and agility not magic as well."
"Well during the various hunts that you went on during your thirst you gained many different Magical Beasts' blood. The blood orb has been storing them and recently has absorbed all of them. I have been suppressing the evolution since you weren't ready for it. But now…"
The copy paused for a few moments and then continued " I believe that now that you have understood the severity of your actions and the experience that you have just gone through has allowed me to understand that you don't underestimate your opponents anymore."
Kai nodded in understanding and then proceeded to ask the copy to stop restricting the evolution. Kai looked at the copy but he said that he wouldn't be able to do that himself, instead, Kai had to do it by himself.
The copy beckoned for Kai to follow him and then he stepped in the air without looking back. Kai tried to do the same but realised that he couldn't, instead, he simply tried to manipulate the blood orb so that it would allow him to change the rules in the red world. Kai tried his best to connect to the orb but only managed to get a rudimentary connection.
The connection allowed Kai to condense the wind under his feet to let him have "steps" in the air and thus gain a pseudo flight. (Imagine Sanji's Geppo or skywalk). After he managed to get to his copy he was taken to a new section of the red world.
In it, Kai could see a humongous cage that seemed to reach the sky with thousands of magical beasts all locked inside it, all which he had killed and consumed their blood. Although he had to admit that most of the beasts in the cage had come from the war that was waged on the Court.
He asked his copy what he had to do, and the copy told him that if he wanted to unlock the next stage of evolution he would need to merge with each beast, and the only way to merge with a beast was to kill it and the magical beast's corpse would enter the blood orb and further the evolution.
"So, in other words, I have to defeat every single one of these magical beasts, right?" Kai asked his copy. "Yes, however before you get all cocky each of these beasts will have the same strength as you."
"What!" Kai shouted out in disbelief and anger. "Well, no point in pondering you better get ready Kai." The copy then teleported Kai into a large arena spanning a Kilometre in diameter. Kai the looked at the opposing side and saw a…

章 27: The First Fight In The Arena
Kai looked at the monster that was standing in front of him. It just happened to be a dragon, a [Common Welsh Green] to be exact.
Standing at 6 meters tall and 10 meters long the dragon looked imposing and dangerous. It had glistening green scales that covered the dragon's flesh, two thin sharp horns.
At the base of the horns were wider patches of flesh that acted as the dragon's ears. The dragon had a mouth full of big pointed teeth like a crocodile. The claws of the dragon were flat with the edges of the talons were hooked, meant to give the dragon grip.
The last feature that created the dragon's terrifying look were its eyes. It had dead white eyes that had no pupils in them giving the dragon an appearance like the bringer of death.
Kai looked at the Common Welsh Green and tried to remember when he had killed it, no matter how hard he tried to remember he couldn't and eventually gave up. Kai looked at it and felt that the dragon wasn't strong at all, he felt like he could defeat the thing in an instant.
But at that moment that Kai had regained his confidence, he got a nasty surprise. In the opposite direction of Kai position, stood the dragon. The arena floor opened up next to him and an ethereal nearly-featureless face floated from below. The face had one feature… a mouth.
The face drifted closer to the dragon and opened its mouth, fangs extended from the mouth and grew until they were 20 centimetres long. The mouth bit into the dragon's neck and injected Kai's own vampire venom.
The dragon struggled weakly, but to no avail, it couldn't resist the ethereal face. After a few seconds, the face disappeared, and the arena floor grew back again.
The dragon's body released a fifty-meter wide cloud of red mist that cloaked the dragon's body. Inside the mist, Kai could hear screams of pain and see sudden lights of red lightning that showed a shadow the dragons struggling body.
Kai could feel the rising aura of the dragon, in the beginning, it was still weak but Kai was starting to feel danger from the large mist cloud. He tried to move towards the dragon's direction to kill it before it grew too powerful. However, Kai was immobilised to the spot by an unseen force, no matter how hard he struggled he couldn't move his body apart from his eyes.
Five minutes later the mist cleared and in the former dragon's place there stood a completely different dragon. The dragon was twice the original Common Welsh Green's size. It had large spikes running down its spine, and at the tip of its tail, it had a large sharp bone that could pierce metal.
The dragon had two more horns on its head while the original two had grown much larger. The mouth full of teeth had grown larger while two fangs at the top of its gums had grown to become vampire fangs jutting out of its mouth.
Its original green scales had turned a deep red, and its dead eyes now had to crimson pupils that emitted a terrible bloodlust. Overall the dragon was now extremely dangerous after its transformation.
Kai looked at the dragon in horror as the memory of the Dahak came back to him causing him to shiver all over. But while Kai's mind was fearing the dragon his vampiric instincts were raging at the new challenger that tried to challenge it.
The combination of the bloodlust emitted by the dragon and his own instincts had caused Kai to calm down moderately, he still feared the dragon, but he could still think logically.
Kai looked at the dragon and tried to understand why the dragon would change so drastically. In his transformation, he changed his appearance, but his own height and size didn't change like this dragon did.
Kai believed that the dragon had his size changed because female dragons were attracted to the stronger dragons and he appeared to have become a "lady killer" although he was just a monster in Kai's books.
At that moment Kai's copy appeared out of nowhere on a large judge's stand floating in the air outside the arena. He declared in a loud voice that boomed all over the arena "The preparations are now complete, let the fight begin once I finish the countdown. Three, Two, One, FIGHT!"
At the moment the copy's voice boomed the word fight the dragon flew towards Kai, letting out a guttural roar. Kai was taken by surprise at the dragon's speed because it was almost at the same speed as him. If Kai's top speed was at the peak of Mach 8 almost reaching Mach 9, then the dragon had barely passed Mach 8. The dragon propelled itself across the arena with its large wings releasing crimson flames at Kai. Kai instantly dodged the large gush of fire and punched the dragon with all of his strength.
The dragon flew across the arena and crashed into the wall, Kai instantly followed the dragon but by the time he had gotten to the other side of the arena the dragon had already recovered.
Kai was met with a berserk torrent of fire that burnt his skin causing him to dodge the rest. Luckily for Kai, he had only gotten the beginning of the fire instead of taking the brunt of the flames.
The dragon lunged forward with its maw wide open and this time Kai was to slow. His arm was caught inside the dragon's mouth and it instantly bit down swallowing the arm.
Kai yelled out in anguish and pain as he was only left with one arm his right arm. Kai decided to utilise his legs instead and leapt towards the dragon. He quickly started to unleash a torrent of blows onto the dragon's side but it was resisting Kai's blows easily.
If a normal human could see the fight he would believe that it was a fight between gods because of the viciousness and strength that was shown.
Kai unleashed all of his anger onto the dragon and for a few moments, it couldn't react to Kai's attacks. It was shot into an arena wall and was continuously pounded over and over.
The dragon's original animalistic brain had been developing rapidly since the transformation and quickly tried to think of a tactic to overcome Kai. Since he was rapidly pounding its torso into the wall nonstop, he could use his wings to try and push Kai away or use his tail.
The dragon opted for it wings since it thought that since the wigs were bigger they would do more damage. The dragon flapped its wings over and over until they created a large wind that momentarily distracted Kai.
But that was all the dragon required to break free from Kai's grip. He instantly whipped Kai's face with his tail causing Kai to be thrown across the arena. The dragon flew out of the deep hole that Kai had made using its body and flapped its wings in Kai's direction.
Kai looked down and saw the dragon making its way towards him. Kai desperately urged his blood strands into his amputated arm and saw it rapidly regenerating. A moment later the arm had grown back completely, and Kai looked at the dragon which had its two claws stretched out ready to snatch Kai out of the air.
Kai chose to dive towards the ground instead of letting himself be taken by the dragon because he knew that if he was caught then he would die.
Kai crashed into the ground and made a huge crater in the arena's floor. Kai still hadn't recovered from the fall when the dragon landed on him pinning Kai down with his foot. Kai could see the dragon open its mouth and the insides of his mouth started to glow orange while a fiery light came out of his throat.
