Somehow water gushed out of my hand and I was able to block Zekken's Dagger, yet why is he attacking me? He said something about some jewels from hell, but I don't understand what he means.
I looked at Zekken carefully and his gaze met mine, but suddenly he disappeared.
However, I could feel his presence and I took a step backwards dodging a cut millimeters away from my head.
-Tch!
Zekken clicked his tongue in frustration and disappeared once again.
I looked to the ground and there were the 4 guys that tried to hit me before, when I tried to get closer, Zekken moved in front of them and killed them by cutting their heads off one by one.
-There are no more hindrances -
How does he do that? If it wasn't for his bloodlust directed at me, I wouldn't be able to feel it.
-What do you want with me?
I asked to the air, hoping to receive an answer, but the only thing I received was an attack from behind, I managed to dodge it jumping to the side, however a burning sensation ran through my arm and blood began to spill, I had a big cut in the upper part of my arm.
Suddenly Zekken appeared in front of me, he was about 10 meters away and the tip of his dagger had blood dripping from it, my blood,
-Not funny eh...-
Zekken started talking to me and his eyes seemed to be bloodshot.
-Stealing something that doesn't belong to you
-Steal?
I asked in confusion as more blood began to ooze from the wound on my arm.
Suddenly he began to laugh out loud, as he cut the air with his dagger, when his gaze fixed on me an uncomfortable feeling ran through my body.
-You... because of you... IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!
Zekken seemed to be losing his sanity, as he raised the dagger above his head, a kind of flare began to roar from its blade.
-Lilith Leviathan had to be mine!
When I heard those words, something in my head snapped.
-What the fuck are you talking about?
I said with a cold tone and suddenly all the tension in my body disappeared.
I felt like something was coming out of me, when I turned my eyes to the palm of my hand, a sphere of water had formed, it had little red spots because of the blood that was running down my arm, when I saw that an idea came to my mind.
I tried to manipulate the blood that gushed from my wound, when I tried to do it, a great burning attacked me, but I endured it, I thought of freezing the blood and instantly I felt how something cold formed on my skin.
When I looked back at my wound, frozen blood prevented more blood from leaving my body, when I saw that it had worked I was relieved.
However when I looked back at Zekken, he was already lowering his dagger with the blade roaring in flames.
When I saw it, instantly, I extended my arm forward and a rectangular shaped water barrier began to form as if it was following my will
Suddenly I felt a great impact against my arm, and water vapor began to release in the surrounding area obscuring all my vision,
However, I could feel Zekken moving on the other side of the steam cloud.
I kicked the ground and moved towards him, they had water floating around me as if he was waiting to receive my orders and follow my will.
I manipulated the water to form a sword and freeze it.
I don't know what I'm doing but somehow I'm managing to use this power.
When I swung my Ice sword horizontally with one hand it was stopped by Zekken's dagger, I wasn't surprised, I expected this attack to be stopped, without wasting time the tip of my ice sword transformed into water and shot towards Zekken's head.
Zekken was surprised and clicked his tongue.
-Tch!
He deflected what was left of Ice's sword to the side and jumped backwards, covering his face with a flare of fire and evaporating the water projectiles aimed at his head.
I don't know what I'm doing but somehow I'm succeeding, for a moment I almost lost my mind when I heard this jerk's garbage.
But I feel like I'm slowly getting used to using this power Is my body adapting?
-Why don't you die, why don't you die, why don't you die? They'll come and you'll die, they, they -
Zekken started mumbling, while clutching his face with his hands, he looked like a lunatic.
-Who are they?
I asked confused without understanding what was going on.
Zekken turned his gaze towards me and began to speak.
-Hunters, them, me, together, yes?
Huh? What is that man talking about? I can't understand what he means
While I was thinking, Zekken kicked the ground and jumped on me, I raised my hand out of instinct and a water blade shot out towards Zekken
His eyes opened in surprise, using his dagger he blocked the attack and fell to the ground, he managed to keep his balance, he turned his gaze towards me before looking up at the sky.
Suddenly I felt something cut my shoulder and blood started to flow from the wound, I quickly put my hand on it and froze my skin to prevent more blood from flowing out of my body.
When I looked up, a woman with orange hair and blue eyes was looking at me, she was wearing a black gothic dress and a pair of boots, I was surprised, but not for seeing her, but for the two cat ears on her head.
-Zekken, what are you doing wasting your time?
-Katrina...
Zekken turned his gaze to the woman floating in the air.
Did he just call her Katrina? She has a very nice pair of thighs though, they are a good size and look soft
-What a disappointment, to be left in that state, against a newborn, no, it's not even a newborn yet," Zekken said.
Katrina said while staring at me, as if she was waiting for the slightest opportunity to kill me.
-That trash! They gave us wrong information, he's already awakened his bloodline!
Zekken looked frustrated as he spoke towards Katrina, but... this situation to me, is definitely the worst possible one.
Zekken seems to have respect for her, and the only reason for that to be the case is that "She's stronger".
I have to find a way to get out of here, I have no way to contact Lilith, I will definitely die at this rate.
I looked towards Zekken and turned my gaze towards Katrina.
Her blue eyes seemed to devour me with just her gaze.
-What do you want from me?
I asked annoyed by the stupid situation I was involved in.
-Hum-
Katrina raised her right eyebrow as if she was questioning my question.
-You're a target that's all.
-Stop your bullshit!
I shouted angrily, I was tired of this, I lost part of my memories, I'm entering an unknown world and this shit wants to kill me.
-I don't know who you are and I don't give a shit, but what I do know is that this bald bastard came attacking me out of nowhere, saying that I stole some jewels from him, that I've never seen in my fucking life!
-No, you do know her.
Katrina spoke with an arrogant look on her face.
-Lilith Leviathan, it's the jewel you stole," she said pointing her finger at me.
She said pointing her finger at me.
-Lilith?
-Don't you know who she is?
-...-
I couldn't answer
-Haha Lilith Leviathan, she's the "Ruby" from hell.
Ruby?
-It seems that you still don't understand the magnitude of the problem, since you are a newcomer, I will give you an additional service.
Katrina descended and stood on the ground.
-Lilith is one of the "7 Jewels of Hell" as you were a human, you must know how important they are, and you- -Lilith is one of the "7 Jewels of Hell" as you were a human, you must know how important they are, and you-.
Katrina smiled as if she was having fun.
-You are the "chosen one" by one of those jewels -Do you understand? Whether you want it or not, this will happen regularly, of course, if you get out of this place alive.
When he said that, I felt an imminent danger, by instinct I covered my head with an arm covered with ice, suddenly I felt an impact that ran through my whole body.
When I realized, I was already embedded in the wall, I couldn't move my body and I started to spit blood.
*Coff* *Coff* *Coff*
Zekken smiled as he saw Katrina slowly approaching me.
-Don't blame me, this is just work.
Said Katrina as a jet sword spawned in her hand and a greenish glow covered its blade.
Katrina raised the sword above her head and stared into my eyes.
His eyes are cold, but somehow warm, it's strange....
Yet he never lowered his sword, he just stared at me.
-We'd better go.
The sword in his hand disappeared and he turned around, he started to walk towards Zekken.
-What--what's wrong?
Zekken asks confused
-A madwoman.
When Katrina said those words around me water started to generate as if she was protecting me.
-YOU...
Lilith appeared through the emergency door, her lifeless eyes looking at me, suddenly my body shuddered, when I realized Lilith was already in front of me and she was staring at Katrina.
-DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU JUST DID?
Lilith's voice was icy and cutting.
-It's just work.
Katrina turned around, grabbed Zekken's head and began to fly away.
-Tch!
Lilith just watched as they flew away from us, she waited a few seconds before turning to me.
-You're really hurt... I'm sorry...
Lilith started to apologize while she helped me to get out of the wall.
-Don't worry-
I said while Lilith helped me to stand up, I put my arm on her shoulder to be able to walk.
-Even so...
Lilith looked sad and dejected
-It's okay, it's nothing, it's just a couple of scratches.
-Still, we can't go in while you're all hurt, try to heal yourself.
Wait, heal me? Can I do that?
-You don't seem to have noticed, you even froze your wounds- -Lilith looks even sadder and even more sad.
Lilith looks even more sad and regretful than before...
-Then... How do I do it?
-Try to circulate your power throughout your body, it should be the same as when you use your bloodline ability.
-Ability...
I'm still not aware of how to do it, I can just do it and...
-Can't you?
I shook my head
-Let's go back to the apartment.
Lilith said with a worried look as she helped me to walk.
-Let's go back later.
I said laughing so as not to make Lilith feel more guilty.
If this is just the beginning... I don't want to think about the things that will come in the future.
