Blood demon leveling

Chapter 136: Arrival

Mike stretched and cracked his neck before he stood up from the bed and walked out into the sunlight of the deck, then he looked over towards the pirate ship in the distance and then lightly jumped into the air, as he reached a height of about 35 meters into the air he summoned his wings and flapped them once before he landed on the deck of the pirate ship and looked around before he nodded

"Good work people"

The crew of the pirate ship had been subjected or rather captured, some of them had wet clothes as they had tried their luck by leaping over boards to escape, but alas they were quickly fished up and brought to their knees in front of where Mike was standing, Mike dismissed his wings as he looked around before he asked

"Who's the captain of this ship?"

The pirates remained silent, Mike sighed before he asked again

"Who is the captain of this ship..? I won't ask again"

Mike began to let out his bloodlust which was so dense that it was practically a physical phenomenon, the atmosphere grew heavy, many of the young pirates seemed to be struggling to breathe under the heavy pressure, until finely one pirate, one of the only women spoke up

"I... am... the... captain..."

She struggled to breathe under the heavy pressure, but still, her gaze was determined, Mike nodded and pulled back his bloodlust before he asked one of the horned werewolf servants

"How many seconds passed before she answered?"

"...16, master"

"Good, give her 16 cuts on her back"

The horned werewolf servant nodded and extended his claws as he walked over and grabbed her by the shoulder and lifted her up, she kicked and punched at the horned werewolf servant as she struggled, but soon the sharp claws struck out and cut the captain across her stomach as she let out a scream of pain, then he turned her around and slashed out with his claws again, leaving another 5 cuts on her legs which resulted in another scream, then the horned werewolf servant slashed out again this time leaving another five cuts on her back, this resulted in another scream of pain, then the horned werewolf servant turned her around again and was about to slash at her face when Mike called out

"Not on the face dude Don't you have any sense of how much a woman values her face?"

"Sorry master Then where should I leave the last cut?"

"Hmm Bring her here"

"Yes master"

The horned werewolf walked over to Mike and held the captain that was barely conscious at this point towards Mike that drew the knife and spun it around before he left a cut on her neck, just barely not deep enough to end her suffering, Mike looked at his handiwork and nodded before he sat down on the deck

"Put her down"

"Yes master"

The horned werewolf put down the captain who fell over onto the deck, she was breathing still, she was just passed out, Mike looked at her for a few moments before he muttered

"Don't want her to bleed to death"

Mike waved his hand and the blood on the 16 cuts froze over, then he waited for her to wake up, a few hours passed and then eventually she woke up just as Mike was eating his meal, the rest of the horned werewolves, Skull whales and crew of the ship was still in that same place as before and Azroth was circling overhead, when the captain woke up she looked at Mike and heaved a long sigh and muttered

"So it wasn't just a bad dream.."

Mike chewed for a while before he swallowed and spoke

"Yeah I am very real and very angry to be distribed"

The captain sighed before she spoke resolutely

"You can kill me now"

"Nah I won't kill you, I'll add you to my soldiers, along with the rest of your crew"

The captain paused before she asked

"You won't kill us?"

"Nope~ You lot are far too useful for that, by getting you guys as my soldiers I will have over 50 servants to bring with me to the continent, specifically 56 if I counted correctly"

"And what makes your entitled ass think we'll cooperate with you?"

"A hunch [Control]"

From there the journey continued, now there were two ships in Mike's fleet, which mean more cargo space for food, and even though they had increased the number of people that needed to be fed this still increased their range by a bit, during their next stop Mike sold off all the pirate's loot and received a handy 3.000.000 for it bringing his total (minus the previous expenses) up to around 11.000.000

"With this, we should be able to reach the continent without any new stops on the way"

Mike looked into the horizon in the direction of the continent

A knock sounded out on the door which made Julie slowly open her eyes, as she did she reached out to the covers beside her, her hands searching for her husband, but only for a moment as she remembered and was filled with sadness After readjusting her feelings for a moment she called out

"It's open"

The door was swiftly opened as a servant walked in, she had a slightly disdainful expression on her face when she looked at Julie, but quickly hid it away as she spoke out with all the fake respect she could muster

"Misstress, good morning"

Julie sat up on the bed and scratched the back of her head as she asked

"Remind me, what's so special about today?"

The servant thought for a moment before she shook her head

"Nothing comes to mind mistress"

"Oh, I see You can pack your bags and leave the mansion, you failed"

"...What?"

"You heard me, pack your bags and leave the mansion, you're fired"

The servant narrowed her eyes and spoke arrogantly

"You don't have the power to decide whether I leave or stay, you filthy half-blood---"

Before the servant managed to insult Julie further her head left her shoulders, Julie looked at her body and spoke

"[Drink]"

Then ignoring the dried-up corpse in her room she got dressed as she muttered

"Today it's been 2 years since I returned to the Helia family And my suffering began"

Julie sighed, she dearly wished that she had not come to the continent, when she arrived she had lost half of the servants Mike had created to conflicts as they made their way towards the city of Helia that was ruled by the Helia family which was the same family which her mom had fled from when she eloped with Julie's dad, when she had eventually arrived in Helia she had to struggle to get them to accept her as a member of the family, she had naively thought that once that was over she would receive better treatment, but alas here she was, about to be turned into a surficial pawn with the rest of the servants Mike had created drafted off to do the families dirty work she was essentially powerless even though she was level 6

"I really wish I had leveled up to level 7 before I arrived in this godforsaken land"

Though there was one positive thing, her grandfather doted on her immensely, this she had, so far, believed was a good thing but now it seemed that this grandfather of hers wanted to marry her off to another family to secure an alliance with the Poxia family even though she had made it clear that she wasn't going to marry ever again

"I really wish I could die right about now"

Alas she was somewhat immortal and thus she had to keep on living, at least for a bit more

'If only Mike was immortal too like he said he was'

Julie sighed yet another time before she stepped out of her luxurious room, she was dressed in some training clothes and was heading towards the courtyard where she would do her daily training

"So this is it huh Well, it certainly does seem to have denser mana than other places"

Mike looked at the landmass in front of him, this was the continent, they had finely arrived after sailing for about 2 months, Mike closed his eyes and tired his connection to his servants for a bit before he sighed

"Seems they still are too far for me to reach themOh well, Frey complete the docking procedures for us please, and then once we have dismounted sell off the ships, we won't be needing them anymore"

"Yes master"

Frey nodded, she was the previous captain of the pirate ship which Mike had captured, by now she had a red star symbol on her forehead like the other members of the crew this was of course a result of Mike having used 3 drops of elder blood on her

"Well then, Julie here I come"
