Blood demon leveling

Chapter 102: The plan

The [Baseker] paused for an instant before he continued attacking Julie along with the [Fencer], but to their surprised Mike quickly returned to the fight having used [Drink] to heal himself, the four of them all went all out and the [Fencer] and the [Baserker] quickly found themselves with cold sweat down their backs, finally the [Fencer] yelled out

"What the fuck are you!?"

Mike showed a thin smile as he continued pushing back the [Fencer] eventually landing a shallow cut on his forearm before he quickly used [Control], thus the stage was set as Mike and Julie continued pushing back the two level 6's until finally one of them, the [Fencer] yelled in desperation

"Angus, Paul, Katrina, Anna help us already!"

The remaining level 6's exchanged looks of wonder, they were clearly not expecting their comrades to be pushed back, then after a brief moment of hesitation they quickly agreed and joined the fray, they were a [Water mage], a [Sun priest], a [Swordsaintess] and a [Ranger], they quickly joined up with the two level 6's that were struggling against Mike and Julie

'Just as I expected You can all go all out now that we have baited the rest of the pray'

""""""Yes master!""""""

As the six level 6's joined forces Mike and Julie were gradually pushed back as injuries kept mounting on their bodies, still, calm thin smiles were on their faces as if the two of them were watching a script play out in front of them, soon the [Ranger] planted an arrow in Mike's chest just barely missing his heart which made him cough up blood, then when the [Ranger]'s and Mike's eyes crossed the [Ranger] suddenly felt cold and yelled

"Watch out!"

Her warning however came just a little too late as just before she yelled the [Fencer] and the [Baseker] both turned on their allies and if that wasn't bad enough the six demonic servants also joined the fray instantly turning the tides as both Mike and Julie explode forth with previously unseen levels of speed and ferocity, in the ensuing melee Mike managed to land wounds on every one of the remaining level 6's, mostly thanks to Julie and the demonic servants that disabled them beforehand, then looking at the four kneeling level 6's Mike's smile widened just a bit as a red light flashed in his eyes

"[Control]!"

The news of the war that spread all over the island told a story of how a little over 50 people had managed to capture six level 6's nobles and kill about 4.500 soldiers in the ensuing panic, most people of course didn't believe this as it was simply too much of a tall tale in their ears, only a few higher-level noble's took the tale to heart, as for Mike and Julie they simply returned to their city and rested for a few days, after a week the noble's they had captured during the war was ransomed for a hefty sum, adding that to the sizable war reputations they received Mike suddenly felt dizzy from looking at the 0's on the document that totaled the entire sum they received

"This should be enough for the next part Once I find out what it is that is"

Julie narrowed her eyes slightly, she was sitting on Mike's lap tapping his horns so of course, she heard his mumbling

"What do you mean once you find out what it is?"

Mike gave a sigh and looked at Julie blankly for a few seconds before he asked

"Do I look like a guy with a plan?"

Julie gave a sigh before she complained

"Why did I fall in love with such a guy Tell me you at least have some kind of overall idea of what to do?"

"Sure, step one: take control of the lower class nobles. Step two: drive out Hector of his hiding hole. Step three: Kill Hector in a suitably painful way. Step four: Marry this beautiful demon in my embrace"

Julie showed a bright smile and patted Mike on the head

"So you do have a plan after all By the way, I want my mother to vow us"

"Sure I don't see a problem with returning to your home town for that, you can have it just as you like it"

"Yay! Thanks Mike I love you"

Julie gave Mike a quick kiss before she spoke

"So when you say that you're planning to take control of the lower class nobles do you then mean in the local area or..?"

"I mean all the lower class nobles on the island"

Julie's jaw dropped before she asked Mike in a rather flustered way

"B-but why?"

"Because of the yearly noble assembly, there the nobles gather and vote on a few things including revoking titles"

"So you plan to have Hector kicked out of his protective shell?"

"Yup"

"That's evil"

"Well I am a demon"

Julie giggled a bit before she kissed Mike, she was over the moon that she would have her own mother wed her to the man that she loved the most in this entire world and when the 'wife' is happy Mike would naturally also be happy

'Oh well It's nice that it's peaceful once in a while'

Mike, now joined by Julie continued their hellish training meanwhile a series of wars started all over the island with lower-class nobles being captured if not outright killed, all the captured nobles were brought to a particular city in the north-west before they were ransomed, thus half a year passed as the island was ravaged by pointless wars Mike and Julie trained, as usual, Julie having received the [Lesser blood demon] skill, or rather secondary class which included the skills [Drink] and [Blood body enhancement] also took part in Mike's insane training and over the half-year the two of them improved by a sizeable margin

"Well then Let's move onto the next item on the menu"

Both Mike and Julie stood in the inner courtyard, Mike wore a pair of training boxers that so his upper body was on full display, his entire body structure seemed to be nearing perfection with lean muscles packed with power perfectly arranged over his body, giving him an overall slim build that seemed to prioritize agility over brute strength, still, he would be able to outperform any strongman in his previous world, Julie that stood next to him wore a set of tightfitting sports underwear, through unlike Mike's previous world the underwear was made from natural fibres, not the synthetic material, she also had a slim build with lean muscles packed with power, that is to say, that she had a build like that of an Olympic athlete, only Mike knew she was many times stronger... they had just healed from being beaten half to death so both of them were in top shape

"Yeah, let's get this over with"

Julie sounded like she was complaining but the wide smile she had on her face showed otherwise, the two of them sat down cross-legged facing each other before they began churning thair mana, gradually it neared a mind-blowing 250 circulations per minute, this was given that a 'normal' level 5 would only be able to do about 130 circulations per minute, while a 'normal' level 6 would only be able to do about 230 circulations per minute, now what were the advantages by circulating mana faster? There were a few things, fist the most obvious which was casting speed, the faster you could circulate mana though you paths and points the faster you could cast a spell, then came the powers of the spell which was also affected by circulations speed (though in a lesser degree than casting speed) and finally thought to an even lesser degree than the other two points were casting efficiency, which is to say that the faster you circulated your mana the better you milage would be and the more spells one would be able to cast without running out of juice

"And we wouldn't want that now would we..?"

Julie gave a sigh, she was used to Mike muttering to himself but she still spoke out to remind him

"Come on Mike, focus You don't want your chest to explode like last time do you?"

"Nope. I am focus itself, don't worry my fair lady"

Julie closed her eyes and shut out the outside world as her mana circulations increased at a drastic rate, Mike's did too, the two of them raced each other all the way to the 250 circulations per minute, there the curve flattened out for a moment before Mike pushed it further until he reached 270 circulations per minute and he spewed out bloody mist from his mouth and nose and then he activated his failsafe

"[Drink]!"

The sphere of freshly drawn blood floating above Mike's head shrunk a size before his breathing began to stabilize, from there he simply slowed down the circulations until they reached about 100 circulations a minute which was his resting point, Mike let out a sigh and looked over at Julie that still held the 250 circulations per minute for a few minutes before she slowed them down again and breathed a sigh as she opened her eyes and spoke ina tone like that of Mike

"Well then, let's move onto the next item on the menu?"

"Yeah sure"
