Chương 98: Savage Red Raven
'...So, which of his skills did I absorb?' Levi looked down at the ball of light.
'.....Sigh, nothing is ever easy.' He sighed.
"..." He found himself back in demonic city as he opened his eyes.
Step. Step.
He walked from the destroyed house.
"...Kept me waiting long enough." Elder rock snorted.
"..." Levi looked around.
'....Something feels off.' He thought.
' The sky looks kind of....dark?' He glanced up.
"....What did you do?" Levi asked without emotion.
" Hehehe, wouldn't you like to know." Elder rock laughed.
Puft!
A Semi-Transparent wave of black mental energy emanated from Levi's mental energy flame.
"...His qi is spread all over this place....what is that bastard playing at?" Levi mumbled to himself.
"....Whatever." Levi said.
Boom!
His foot slammed heavily into the ground.
Blood energy coated his right arm, as his left hand became black and doubled in length.
' Are you planning to fight with your arm broken?' The demon saint asked.
"....I don't have enough excess blood to heal it, so I don't have a choice." Levi said softly.
' Hmm? But didn't you just heal your other arm?' The demon saint questioned once again.
" I don't know how it works in detail but, if I use more than the leftover blood for anything, my blood energy level will drop."
" This happened not too long ago." Levi looked down at his arm.
' That guy is planning something, but....' Levi paused.
"..." He kept silent as his leg muscles bulged under his robes.
"!!!"
Levi shot toward elder rock swiftly.
" Humph!" Elder rock snorted, as black qi surrounded him.
"..." Levi silently punched out with his right arm.
" Black vortex!" Elder rock shouted.
The black qi spiraled around Levi's fist, stopping it in place.
" Humph." Raising his left hand, Levi snorted.
Glowing red lines adorned his hand, as he slashed down.
Elder rock lifted a qi sword shape to block Levi's attack.
Crack!
"..." The sword shape shattered on contact, causing Elder rock's expression to dim.
Levi's fingers tore through elder rock's robes, along with his flesh, leaving 5 deep gashes across his chest.
Elder rock jumped back, opening some distance.
" You are not getting away." With a flap of his wings, Levi appeared before elder rock once more.
He stabbed out with his left hand at full force.
Deng!!!
" Hmmm?!"
A black wall without a fixed shape appeared in front of Elder rock, blocking Levi's attack.
" Black Demon Domain!" Elder rock shouted from behind it, his eyes glowing a deep red.
"..." Blood energy gathered around Levi's leg, as his body spun.
Boom!!!
A shockwave rippled out.
Levi kicked out at the wall with all of his strength, but it just changed shape, blocking him seemingly effortlessly.
" You've lost your momentum." Elder rock sneered.
The black wall warped to allow Levi to see Elder rock's face.
" You've also lost your chance to kill me...." Elder rock paused.
" Black giants..heed my call...As the supreme ruler in my domain, I order you...come out and kill for me!" Elder rock shouted.
Rumble!!
The ground trembled as a ghastly black qi rose from it.
" You! How can you use such a large amount of qi?!" Levi shouted as veins bulged on his forehead in anger.
" Humph!" Elder rock snorted as he glared at Levi, ignoring the line of blood flowing from his mouth.
" I would pay attention if I were you!" Elder rock sneered.
" Hmm?" Levi looked back through the corner of his eyes.
Behind him stood 5 black humanoid creatures with glowing red eyes.
These creatures were twice the height and width of regular adults, easily towering over elder rock himself.
"....ah?" Levi glared.
4 of the giants collapsed into formless qi, rolling like fog towards Levi.
They materialized once again after closing in on Levi.
The air around Levi trembled as he blocked the attacks of the four giants.
His wings blocked a punch and a kick respectively, while he stopped a kick with his left hand.
His blood energy coated leg stopped the last giant's punch easily.
"!!!"
Alarm bells went off in his head as the final giant appeared behind him.
Booom!!
" Kuh!!"
The ground quaked as Levi's blood shield barely held up against the giant's powerful attack.
"...That bastard!" Levi forced out.
' Ahahahaha, he gave one of them all of the power, and baited you by having the weaker ones attack first! I love it!' The demon saint laughed out happily.
" What are you laughing at?!" Levi shouted.
Even under the blood shield, he was still pinned to the ground by the pressure of the fist.
" AAAUOHHHHHHHH" The giant roared.
' Now!' Levi swiftly shot out from under the blood shield as the giant retracted its fist.
The giant dematerialized before reappearing beside Levi almost instantly.
" Fool! Did you forget where you are?! As long as you are in this dome of qi, no matter where you go, my giants will follow you!" Elder rock shouted vehemently.
' Tsk!'
Booom!
Levi was knocked from the sky by a large fist.
His body was pushed to its limit as he landed on his feet.
" Ugh!"
Veins bulged on his aching body, as he swallowed a mouthful of blood.
' Hmm?' Levi reached into the spatial ring before pulling out a dagger with a golden handle.
He lengthened it with blood energy, using its blade as the foundation.
" Heheh..." Levi laughed.
In an instant, the giant appeared before him.
Levi moved to the side in an attempt to dodge, but it was pointless as the giant kicked out.
Using his wings as a shield, Levi was once again knocked away.
" Humph." Levi snorted softly, as he flapped his wings backward, stopping himself easily.
"I thought you were smarter." Levi said as he lowered himself from the sky.
" Hmmm?! there is...." Elder rock mumbled.
" Giant! Kill him now!" Elder rock shouted with bloodshot eyes.
" Stop." Levi spoke coldly, as the tip of his wing curled around a girl's neck.
" Youuu!!!" Elder rock bellowed as the giant stopped in its tracks.
" If these things were so important to you, then why didn't you move them to a safer place?" Levi glanced down at the 4 girls.
" What kind of man are you? Despicable!!"
" Coward! Coward!! Coward!!!"
" Save me!!"
"..."
The girl with Levi's wing around her neck kept silent.
" Let them go. They are not part of this fight!" Elder rock trembled with anger.
" Oh? But I beg to differ!" Levi shouted with snide laughter.
" Now stick out your neck! You DO want to save these girls, don't you?" Levi sneered disdainfully.
" If you don't let them go-" Elder rock was interrupted.
Thump!
A head fell to the ground.
" My hand slipped." Levi said in a regretful tone.
" Kyaaa!"
" Hurry and save me!!"
Two of the 3 remaining girls shouted.
"..." Veins bulged on elder rocks face, but he kept silent.
".....I'm sorry. I can't save you." He suddenly spoke.
" What? You-" One of the girls shouted as all hope drained from her face.
" Please, die for my sake." Elder rock said as he looked up, his eyes red from anger.
' It seems negotiations have broken down! hahaha!' The demon saint laughed.
" So it seems!" Levi smiled.
In the end, people would still choose themselves over others.
This firsthand experience put him at ease.
" Black demon domain; Weapons world!" Elder rock shouted.
Black qi rose from the ground, forming weapons of different sizes and shapes, mainly blades.
" But what can you do?" Levi said as the blood beside him was sucked into his body.
His wings disappeared into his body.
Threads of silk grew out from his hand, as thick smoke rose from his body.
Two copies of himself were formed quickly.
" Cheap tricks!" Elder rock shouted as the giants shot out.
The four weaker giants dematerialized and formed one stronger one, wielding two greatswords.
Boom!
" Is that the case?" Levi grinned as he and his copies simultaneously blocked the two giants.
'...Why do I have to do this?!' The demon saint protested, as he moved Levi's copies with mental energy.
" Did you forget that if I die, you die?" Levi asked.
' I don't care! I'm resigned to my fate!' The demon saint said in a spoiled tone.
" Stop complaining! Just have them dodge its attacks!" Levi shouted.
Crack!
The giant Levi fought now wielded a large glaive.
Levi's blood energy sword cracked from its heavy attack.
Puft!
" Humph! Annoying!" Levi snorted.
Large fist-sized balls of mental energy formed around him and shot in all directions.
Levi parried another attack as he repaired the crack in his sword.
" Hmm? One of my copies were destroyed. Are you doing your job demon saint?" Levi questioned.
' Since when was this my job?!' The demon saint retorted.
" They are just distractions anyway." Levi glanced through the corner of his eye.
' If you ask a question, listen to the answer dammit!' The demon saint shouted.
' Ahhh!!' The demon saint shouted.
" What now?" Levi sighed.
' Shut up! You don't know how it feels to have your mental energy disrupted by a goddamn qi giant!' The demon saint shouted.
" Alright, alright." Wings appeared at his back once more as he shot into the sky.
" Flying is pointless!" Elder rock shouted.
Multiple weapon shapes shot towards Levi from all directions.
"...Give me a break." Levi cursed under his breath.
The blood gate behind him dematerialized, as blood energy exploded from his body.
It spiraled, shielding him.
The blood energy then spread out thinly.
" Fool!" Elder rock shouted.
Black qi began climbing up to the sky.
"..." Levi looked down at him from the sky.
" What happens when you mix mental energy and qi, do you know?" Levi shouted down at Elder rock.
"?!"
" Boom." Levi said softly.
Booom!! Booom!!!
Multiple black and white explosions rippled out.
The ground quaked as shockwaves tore through the air.
' You are crazy, do you know that?' The demon saint laughed.
" Hehe, more so than you think." Levi mumbled.
Booom!!!!
The blood energy withdrew slightly before exploding into blood flames, engulfing Levi.
Some buildings were destroyed from the force of the explosion, swept away like leaves in a breeze.
...
A few seconds later.
" Cough! Heuk!" The sound of uncontrollable coughing rang out.
" Fuck! If he wanted to blow himself up, he should have done it alone!!" Elder rock shouted.
His robe was now tattered and torn.
He had multiple wounds on his body causing blood to stain his rags.
" Where are those sect elders anyway?! A fight of this scale so close to the sect and those bastards don't even bother to show up? When I get back!!" Elder rock said grumbled.
" Get back? Where are you getting back to?" A weak voice rang out.
"?!" Elder rock swiftly shifted his gaze.
" You are still alive? Can't you even kill yourself right?!" Elder rock shouted.
" Me? Kill myself? I don't have time for that kind of nonsense!!" Levi shouted.
His skin was pale as sweat poured down his face.
His breathing was rushed as he stood in the sky.
' That took a lot out of me, but I achieved the desired result.' Levi thought.
" You are barely hanging on by a thread! Why don't you just let me kill you?" Elder rock grinned.
" Take a look around you before you speak." Levi said coldly.
" What?" Elder rock's eyes narrowed.
"..." He looked around silently.
" What?! My domain?!? It's gone?!" Elder rock shouted.
" Did you think I was just randomly blowing things up? Haha, maybe if it was the me from a few months ago." Levi began to slowly lower from the sky.
" Since that domain of yours was just a giant ball of qi, then all I had to do was disrupt it enough for the qi to scatter."
" And since you just used such a large scale technique, I'm guessing that you can't gather that scattered qi. Hehehe." Levi laughed lightly.
" I outdid myself this time. I feel like I could fall over at any moment. But, do you know what keeps me going?" Levi asked as he began walking.
" The thought of killing you, such a satisfying thought. The thought of my strength increasing after I absorb your blood." Levi said.
" I would love to go and slaughter the sun and cloud sects too, but I don't think I will do that."
" I mean, I was reduced to this weakened state by just YOU." Levi said.
" This game was fun, but it's time for it to end." Levi said as he stopped before elder rock.
" Humph! Do you think I will wash my neck for you? Keep dreaming. Black demon sacrifice!" Elder rock shouted.
The tips of his fingers began to disintegrate, as qi flooded his body.
Thump! Puchi!
Elder rock's arms and legs flew, as Levi's hand stabbed through his stomach, destroying his dantian.
" Didn't I say not to turn into ash?" Levi asked coldly.
" Cough!" Elder rock threw up blood with bits and pieces of his organs.
"....You were always too impulsive....Black demon'z curse...." He said weakly, with an unsteady gaze.
" Kuh..." Levi dropped him quickly.
"..." On his arm, a circular black crest began to form but disappeared halfway.
" Tsk, it feels like I lost....i wonder if I am just the kind of person who can't be happy." Levi mumbled.
" Whatever." Elder rock's blood left his body as Levi absorbed it.
Boom!
Boom!!
Boom!!!
Boom!
4 blood energy explosions rippled from Levi's body.
" My blood energy is at level 28..." Levi mumbled.
" Yo-You killed him...." A small voice rang out from a ways behind Levi.
"..." He looked back silently.
" You killed him....You killed him! You bastard, why did you kill him?!" The girl shouted.
" I was going to live a good life! I gave up my purity to that old man in return for status, but look what you did!!" The girl bit into her lip, causing beads of blood to flow out.
" Dammit! dammit! you bastard! I'll kill you! I swear I will hunt you down and kil-" Her voice suddenly stopped.
Levi flicked his wrist, causing the blood energy sword to fly out.
It stabbed right through the girl's chest.
" Are you going to hunt me down too?" Levi pointed at the two remaining girls with the sword after recalling it.
" N-No!" One of them said with a trembling voice.
"....I don't believe you." Levi Slashed out with his hand, causing 5 wind blades to shoot out.
Crack!
" Wait."
One of the girls shielded herself with qi, blocking Levi's wind blades.
" Hmm?"
' The silent girl...' Levi thought.
" I can be useful." She said monotonously.
"....Are you telling me not to kill you?" Levi asked.
" I can be useful." The girl expressionlessly said once again.
"....Accept this mental energy seed." Levi said.
She silently accepted the mental energy seed without a change in expression or a flicker of emotion.
'....And I thought I was cold..no, cold doesn't describe her....empty? Empty as her deep black hair....and I thought I was empty...' Levi thought.
'.....In any case, this is weird....my bloodlines aren't acting up, but...' He paused.
" I don't know how to explain it, but....it feels like...if they did act up at this moment.... I wouldn't be able to do anything about it...." Levi mumbled.
" Although I feel pain when they act up...I also feel like I can forcefully control them if I need to, because of that pain...somehow.."
" If that pain were to disappear, I wouldn't...I don't think I would be able to suppress them....just that thought alone...is extremely scary..." He looked down at his clenched fist.
" Not being in control of my bloodlines...would be truely, very sca...." As he said this, a wave of dizziness overcame him.
His back bulged, as two featherless wings sprouted from it.
Black feathers began growing on these wings, as his back bent.
Before his body changed any further, the featherless wings suddenly collapsed into blood.
Blood poured out from all over Levi's body.
"..." The girl watched this scene expressionlessly from a distance.
Levi was submerged in a large ball of blood many times bigger than himself.
In this ball of blood, his body slowly changed.
By the time all of the blood disappeared, Levi was no longer there.
Instead, there was a large red raven.
It's savage mirror red eyes glistened.
" AWUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!"
It cried loudly, as it flapped its large wings.
Powerful wind blades shot out in all directions.
The air trembled in its presence.
The raven then flew off.

I_Only_Sleep
I_Only_Sleep The end of the first volume, I guess. Do you think I should write in volumes or continuously? I mean, I am ending this volume with this chapter, but I should be able to change it, right? Anyway, if you think the chapter was missing anything, then tell me about it in the comments. Thanks for reading!
