Blood demon leveling

Chapter 155: Protagonist

The horde of Wind spirit's moved like a swarm of locusts across the land, killing and eating any person, animal, or magic beast they found, the small villages and settlements were wiped out by them and Mike performed a blood sacrifice at every one of the villages, after all, who would say no to free blood?

'...We should be reaching the next city to the north within a few hours'

Mike showed a smile, he was matching along with the rest of the regular army, he chatted with the Wind spirits to boost their morale, something which proved to be very effective

'...Well as long as they're happy'

Soon the horde approached the next big city, or rather Mike did, he had decided to do a sneak attack on the city with the level 7 Wind spirits and that was easier to do when the gates already were open, they flew close to the ground, and when they were about 3 kilometers out they were spotted by the guardsmen on the walls

"But that's too late!"

Mike flapped his wings hard and created a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier, then a red half-transparent barrier formed around his body before he smashed into the almost closed gate, breaking it apart, then he sent out a few metal messages to the Wind spirits behind him, the flying horde spread out and began surrounding the city while the non-flying horde that was waiting out of sight of the city began moving in, in the meantime Mike was busy fighting the lord of this city, but only for about a minute since that was when he managed to land a shallow cut on his arm

"[Drink]"

Watching the former level 8, now drained corpse fall to the ground Mike showed a slight smile, then a sorrowful scream came from the lord's mansion

"Father!!!"

Mike showed a smile before he sent a series of mental messages to the Wind spirits that were near the lord's mansion as Mike himself slowly descended in front of the lord's mansion and locked eyes with a teenage boy around 16 years old, he bore a striking resemblance to the person Mike had just murdered

"...Yes, you'll do nicely"

Then before the servants and guards managed to react Mike landed right in front of the teenager and reached you to grab his face covering his eyes before he lifted him up from the ground and spoke

"Do it!"

The nearby Wind spirits sprung into action and for the next 2 minutes the lord's son struggled to get free from Mike as his servants and guards were slaughtered around him, he could only listen, as he was powerless against Mike half an hour later the final scream sounded out, Mike showed a smile and sat the lord's son down again before he removed his hand Mike asked

"Do you know why you are still alive?"

Only sobs sounded out from the lord's son, still, Mike continued speaking as he didn't really care for a response

"...Because I'll feast on your dispair later if your capable of surviving that is"

Mike let go of the lord's son, he sank down as despair got the better of him as he looked around at the slaughter around him, screams sounded out constantly from the city as the city people were slaughtered in the cruelest ways possible, some were eaten alive even, the lord's son looked at Mike with empty eyes

"What the fuck are you looking at!? RUN YOU CHICKEN FUCK!"

Mike released his blood lust spurring the lord's son to stumble to his feet and run, as soon as he was out of sight Mike sent a mental message to the WInd spirits as a smile formed on his face, Julie landed beside him and asked

"What's got you so cheerful?"

Mike shrugged before he spoke

"Nothing, I just found my protagonist"

"Protagonist..? Oh right, that plan you spoke about Are you really sure that's a good idea?"

Mike paused for a moment before he nodded

"Well it could backfire spectacularly"

Julie sighed before she shook her head and muttered

"I can't tell if you're getting more and more confident or if you're just plain cocky"

"Well That's why I love you so much Julie, you always tell me thees things straight"

Mike hugged Julie suddenly as he spoke, the two of them shared a moment among the screams of terror and despair that sounded out around them in the city that was in the process of being sacked

Over the next month, Mike and Julie razed another 2 cities to the ground along with countless villages, Mike made sure to do a blood sacrifice at each one of the places that the horde of Wind spirits stopped, soon they were about 15% there in terms of blood required for the elder demon to materialize permanently in this world

'Things are progressing smoothly But I think it's time'

Mike nodded before he spoke out loud

"We're pulling out"

Julie nodded

"My gut feeling is telling me the same, we need to leave"

"Well then, let's get going"

The entire horde suddenly turned around and began heading back towards the forest, after 3 days of matching they had left the human lands, but the destruction they had left behind remained, so did the resentment towards the non-humans.

Over the next 2 months, the non-human advance into human lands halted before they began suffering defeat after defeat and then finally after general Hannibal was killed in action in the city Heilmark after being besieged by 5 level 8's for an entire day the attack into human lands was pushed back to the original border between the cities Helem on the non-human side and Jular on the human side respectively, the war seemed to have come to a standstill and the Fire iron noble's wanted to cut their losses and sign a peace deal with the humans But none of the messengers ever returned, clearly the humans wanted more blood out of this war

"Things are proceeding as planned"

"What's that Mike?"

"Well I've just been informed by one of my human servants that the humans rejected the peace offer sent by the non-humans, most of them are burning with righteous fury and there have been some talks about eliminating the non-humans entirely Things are proceeding towards a total war of annihilation"

"That's good... "

"Yeah, things are moving as planned"

Mike's plan was rather simple, he wanted to start a long and bloody war that would generate enough blood for him to summon the elder demon to this plane of existence permanently

"... And that would be the end of the humans on this continent"

Julie nodded before she sat herself up in the bed and looked over at Mike that was still looking up into the ceiling before she asked

"And then we'll live happily ever after?"

Mike nodded

"That's the plan"

"...And then you won't object to having a child?"

"....No"

"Yay! I luv you Mike~"

Julie snuggled up to Mike, they had been discussing having children for the past half year now and this was the first time Mike had given a definitive answer, normally he would just say "I'll think about it" or "now's not the time" so understandably Julie was rather happy and quickly snuggled up to Mike, for a bit the two of them looked up into the ceiling before Mike suddenly muttered

"I wonder if I'll be a better dad than my dad was Or if the circle will continue..."

"I'm sure you'll be a great dad Mike"

"You think so?"

"Yeah, of course"

"I see Then do you want a boy or a girl?"

Julie thought a few moments before she answered

"...Why not both?"

Mike smiled his smile was nothing like the usual slight smile he showed, this was a smile he only showed when Julie was around before he spoke

"Yeah Why not both?"

While Mike and Julie was flirting the atmosphere in the capital of the Fire iron race there hang a particularly heavy air, especially in the castle that stood in the middle of the city, this heavy mood came from the king that listened to a report that was being read to him by a messenger

"---And on the 63rd day of the occupation our army was forced to retreat following the death of general Hannibal"

The king remained silent for a bit, he was an almighty level 9, his every action seemed laced with power, and even though he wasn't actively circulating his mana an oppressive feeling was still felt in the entire castle, after a period of silence the king spoke

"...And what of the Wind spirits?"

"...They seemed to have pulled back to their lands after raiding a total of 3 cities"

The king nodded before he ordered

"Send a delegation to the Wind spirits along with payment for their previous actions, I'll personally speak with the leader of the delegation and inform him of his purpose for visiting the WInd spirits"
