Blood demon leveling

Chapter 17: Recruitment

As the sword pieced Mike's shoulder he didn't feel the usual mind numbing pain that he was used to, instead he felt a pleasant almost intoxicating rush, meanwhile the blood that flowed out form his wound seemed to not follow gravity at all and quickly formed strange sinister runes on his shoulder around the wound before suddenly Mike felt his strength rise significantly before he suddenly slashed out with the knife.

The [Paladin] reacted fast and almost managed to dodge the knife that left a small shallow cut on his right arm, what surprised him the most was that his armor was cut right through even though it was pure steel, he took some distance and spoke

"I am surprised that you managed to cut me, but it matters not Surrender now!"

Mike gave a smile before he clutched his shoulder and looked straight at the [Paladin] before he muttered

"[Drink]"

It happened in an instance soul chilling screams sounded out all over the city of Morkove as hundreds of people quickly turned into dried corpses, the [Paladin] was no exception as he also quickly withered and turned into a dried out corpse, Mike however was not in any condition to admire his handiwork as he suddenly felt a rush that made his eyes blurry and his legs weak as he almost stumbled but it all too quickly subsided and he quickly returned to his senses and turned around and ran out of the gate out into the wilderness

The night Mike escaped from Morkove quickly became infamous and known as the night of the blood demon, Mike however didn't know this he was busy doing his thing which nowadays was basic survival, well it was not quite as extreme as it sounded

'Morning huh I sure slept well'

Mike woke up, the first thing he did was that he opened his hand and the knife flew over and landed in his hand, then he sat up on the bed and looked around, he was currently in a small slightly cramped room of an inn, he quickly got dressed and walked downstairs where he quickly got served a meal and ate before he went back upstairs and packed his stuff before he checked out of the inn and walked out into the streets, it had been two weeks since he escaped from Morkove, since then he had been walking from small village to small village while killing anything he found outside the walls.

Yes that included random travelers and other innocent people but also bandits and other so called bad people, as for the reason he did this was that so he could reach level 3 as soon as possible

'Let's visit the local temple'

While Mike didn't fear being hunted down by lord Casper he decided that staying on the move was a good idea and usually didn't spend more than a day at any village and he avoided the larger named cities as they had people that were level 3 in them and while he had a [Paladin] kill to his name he didn't want to risk fighting one again. Mike soon arrived at the local temple and walked inside and met a nun that stood at the reception

"Hello, I would like a prayer room"

"Certainly may I see your adventure card?"

Mike showed his card and the nun gave a nod before she looked down at some documents and spoke

"Please use prayer room number six"

"Sure"

Mike walked down the hallway and entered prayer room number six without any problems, then he closed the door after himself and put a hand on the crystal ball that lit up with a vermilion glow for a few seconds before it displayed his status

Name: Mike

Age: 26

Level: 2

Skills: [Knife control] [Drink] [Blood body enhancement] [Blood for blood]

Experience: 46.173/ 100.000

"Just over 46 thousand almost halfway there"

As mike looked at the experience indicator the image of a certain shot silver haired woman flashed through his head before he suddenly got annoyed and gritted his fists before he muttered

"Just wait a little longer"

Then he waited for the crystal ball to reset which it soon did before he walked out of the temple as he looked at the passing people on the street he thought

'I need to kill something'

As he though so he acted quickly and left town and quickly found his mark, a pair of two young lovers that walked down the dirt road arm in arm

'Lovers should explode or was it normies..? Well whatever'

Mike walked about 15 meters behind them and spun the knife around as he looked at them flirting for a bit before the image of a certain short silver haired woman flashed through his head, as soon as it did both the knife and the shortsword flew out and with a soft sound they pieced the backs of the lovers heads before they both fell to the ground, Mike walked up and pulled out the knife and shortsword as the sound of clapping suddenly sounded out from nearby, Mike turned around and a masked person suddenly stood right behind him.

"...Who are you?"

"Oh calm too, you really are the perfect seedling Well if you want to call me anything then call me 48"

'Not 47 oh well'

Mike gave a sigh, this 48 person definitely was over level 3 and he had the feeling that he would be able to kill him in a second, thus he gave up the idea of resisting or killing this 48 outright

"So what do you want?"

Mike had the feeling that this 48 was wearing a wide smile under his mask

"Well I want two things, the first is to know how you drained the blood of your previous 56 victems"

Mike blanked and suddenly realized that this person had been following him since he left Morkove as the amount of people he had killed since he left the city was about 56, then he gave another sigh and spoke

"Watch"

Mike walked over to the corpses, on the way there he opened his hand and the knife flew over into his hand before he stabbed it into one of the corpses and spoke out clearly and loudly

"[Drink]"

Mike watched as the blood drained from one of the corpses before he turned back to the masked man after a few seconds the masked man asked

"Is that a magic weapon?"

Mike shrugged before he spoke

"I have no idea, it's been with me since I came to this world"

The masked man started for a moment before he broke out laughing, Mike listened to him laughing for a few seconds before he noticed that this was going to take more than a few seconds for him to finish so he drained the blood from the other corpse before the masked man stopped laughing and after catching his breath he spoke again

"So you're a demon too? This is perfect!"

"How so?"

"Well let me explain First off I am a member of a certain organization that Shall we say take out the trash, you get me?"

Mike gave a nod and the masked person continued

"So we clean up, sometimes silently, sometimes loudly I am in charge of finding seedlings and i have been tracking you for two weeks now and I am very impressed with your cleaning"

MIke gave another nod as a dull red light flashed in the depths of his eyes before he spoke

"Well as long as I get to kill I have no problems being paid for it"

48 gave a nod and opened his arms wide

"In that case are you willing to join our organization? It will be very profitable for you"

Mike had a feeling that saying no here would turn him into a cold corpse very quickly so he gave a nod and spoke

"I am willing"

48 gave a nod before he pulled out a metal tag with the symbol "" on and handed it to Mike, Mike received it felt the tag pull in a certain direction when 48 spoke

"The tag will lead you to a recruitment center of our organization, there you will have to pass a test, which I have no doubt you will pass with flying colors and then you will be put into active duty"

"I see Well then I look forwards to working with you 48"

"Same to you wait what's your name again?"

"Mike"

"Okay, well then I'll see you around, oh and stop with the random killing at least for a few days you have several bounty hunters on your trail well had"

48 threw a leather sack which made a wet sound when it hit the ground before Mike, Mike had no doubt what was in the sack and gave a smile

"Well thank you for that I'll buy you drink in the future"

Mike had a feeling that the smile under the mask grew wider then he blinked and 48 was gone
