Cztery, the fourth elder of the Red Moon Organization, who would have thought that he would be in the Kingdom of Freies. He attacked using explosive devices in their inn. It was easy for him to sneak. In this attack, he used the Slavery Necklace Mod Version, a tool to curb and control the target's mind, to Sophia. The Slavery Necklace Mod Version developed Szec before he went to another world. Some of them are still stuck in the Organization's warehouse.
Alex and Noctis sent Yovanca to rescue civilians and minimize the impact. Yovanca and Theresa are left to defeat Cztery.
“Muahahaha. Today is a beautiful night, ya~.” Cztery floated in the sky. His black robe fluttered in the wind. He looked down on Yovanca and Theresa below him.
Yovanca stood on the 2nd floor of the inn with the roof destroyed. He looked at the hovering Cztery and Sophia. “Let me guess. You must have subordinates. You will not be that determined to fight the Spirit King of Darkness, Noctis.” He prepared both daggers in both hands.
“It's as if I'm an overpower who can slaughter the protagonist. We are very weak compared to him. Then of course we'll use the hostages. Royale Spirit of Blood, no, but the entire city. They are all our hostages, muahahahaha..” Cztery laughed loudly until he added, “Well, this is only until the Spirit King of Darkness gets here. That's why I have to be fast.”
*crack!* *Crack!* *Crack!*
Cztery pointed his palm at the two women below. Streams of gold emerged from the void and gathered in front of his hands. A cube with 2 circles orbits it. They rotate on their path.
“Dodging!” yovanca Shouts.
Theresa. They both jumped to escape. Then,*Boom!*. A loud explosive sound was heard as the Cztery attack landed and destroyed most of the inn buildings. Dust is lifted and construction materials are down.
Yovanca looks for Theresa and finds her after the smoke disappears. “Are you okay, Theresa!”
Theresa's a little slow. His left arm was cut to the base of his shoulder. “Um, I'm fine.”
*blop!* *blop!*
Blood bubbles sprang from the cut arm. Theresa's left arm was then re-formed.
“It's a shame that your contract with Royale Spirit of Blood did not disappear,” muttered Cztery seeing Theresa. “But too naive to think regeneration ability can beat me!” Cztery dripped his blood to the ground. “Rise Cerebrum!”
*shelf!* *Shelf!*
Cztery's blood drops touched the ground. Then it began to churn like it was about to rise. Furthermore, the size becomes increasingly large accompanied by a deafening creaking sound. Until finally one drop of blood was transformed into the figure of a new creature.
“YOU MUST BE KIDDING!” shouted Theresa.
It looks like a lizard. The size is gigantic, the length may reach 30 meters and the height is 7. His entire body was made of gold,
“Graaaaa...!!!” The Golden Lizard shouted. The gust of wind from the roar made the objects gold-coated.
It was fortunate that Theresa was able to control the blood to become the kind of ball that protected her and Yovanca. That layer of blood turned into gold on its outer part.
“Nee, Theresa, you definitely can't use the creature's bloodbending, can you?”
“If he has no blood, I can't do it.”
“Cerebrum, or so I call it. He is the creature I created from my gold and blood. It was not in vain that I learned the magic that the second elder gave me.” Cztery told them. “I'm sure you can't hurt him, but.. This must be a different story if his opponent can't be killed.” He looked at Theresa. “Then I will hand you over to the master of bloodbenders. If it's not wrong who you call it?” Cztery looked up while holding his cheek. “Sophia, right? In that case, go ahead and lose the girl, Sophia!”
Sophia's face was flat expressionless. His pupils were dark red with no fixed gaze. She was wearing her casual black dress. From his back, he made a pair of wings out of blood stick out. It looks like a pigeon wing with a dark red color.
*Syut!*
Sophia is fast. In an instant he was already in front of Theresa. He held a blood red sword using both of his hands.
Theresa canceled the intention of making a blood bow and she jumped backwards. But he did not get to make both arms cut off. In addition, Yovanca also reacted quickly. She swung her dagger to cut Sophia's body in half, up and down.
“Hmph!” Theresa manipulated both of her arms that were cut into blood. Blood became blades, blades slashed Sophia. Theresa's eyeing the neck.
Sophia dodged just by moving her upper body. The blade cut off half of his neck. Then he expressionlessly swung the blood sword at Theresa.
Before hitting it, Theresa turned her body into a blood mist and retreated a few meters. He reconstructed it in perfect body shape. Using both of his hands he held a bow and blood arrows eyeing Sophia.
“Wake up, Sophia!”
\=\=\=
‘How long have I been here?’ inner Sophia.
It was in Sophia's subconscious. He was in the deep ocean. All around him was the sunlight that was starting to get darker. His body kept coming down. The red pupils in his eyes had a darker color in the middle. He has absolutely no life expectancy. It was as if all the bitter memories he had seen in a dream hit him.
‘Now I've remembered it...’.
‘Karina…. When I was still a medium-level spirit, you were the only one who would accept me.
‘Haha... This reminds me of that time…. I used to have a hamster form to exist when at a low level. Some kids took me and made me a friend, I played with them…. But...’
‘I killed them all...’.
‘I used the power of my blood manipulation on them. I thought I would become a water spirit that could make them comfortable. But I killed them all...’.
‘Wandering alone in the forest, I managed to reach the Royal level after ten years or longer, huh? Never mind, who cares. I had a human form at that time. A little girl with silver hair who was standing in the middle of the forest…. Alone in confusion..’.
‘Until you finally find me...’.
‘From now on we are friends, huh?—that's what you said after bathing me. At that time I was very happy. At that moment I was confused by the feeling of pleasure. But together with you, it feels so much fun.’
Sophia closed her eyes. He remembered the days in the past. He was in a simple family. Food is obtained from hunting in the forest. Sophia had always come forward to protect Karina when there were beasts and monsters. Karina taught Sophia when she was at home. Peaceful days that keep repeating. Suppose it could be repeated until now—Sophia's little hope.
‘Until the incident happens, right?’ Sophia looked at the black empty sky. One by one the threads of red memory.
The blood elemental spirit was the natural enemy of all beings that had blood. They will not be able to fight other spirits that are of the same level or higher than him and are very weak to other spirits. But for humans, they are a terrible specter.
People came to the Karina family home. They killed them cruelly. Stop it!— shouted Sophia that time. No one cared about that scream. They thrust a sword into Sophia's heart. He's shaking. It just stirred up his anger and killed everyone using blood control.
Sophia was crawling with 2 swords still piercing through her body. He held onto the corpse of Karina who was walled in blood.
‘If I were there now, I might be able to save you. But this power I also did not get with pleasure. I was enslaved by and from Red Moon, massacred, and committed genocide. That's where I got the ministerial rank as a blood spirit.’
‘Spirit is cruel like me, I better not be in this world alone, ‘kan?’
“That's not true at all, kok!”
