Blood demon leveling

Chapter 98: Mort

Mike looked at his severed left arm leaking blood on the ground and wondered if he had well and truly gone insane

"No this is Patrick, I mean this is training"

Mike picked up his severed left arm and pressed it against where he had cut it off a moment ago before he spoke

"Drink"

The sphere of blood above him lessened slightly as he reconnected his arm, gradually feeling began to reappear in his left arm and a mere 30 seconds later he flexed his fingers and curled them into a fist

"Well, that was easier than expected Again"

Half an hour passed in this way as he consumed blood to reconnect severed body parts, this taught him benefited him in two ways, first, he was consuming blood so [Blood body enhancement] was working its magic gradually enhancing his body and secondly, he gradually got used to reconnecting his own limbs

"Which will prove a useful skill in the upcoming conflict"

Mike didn't expect the nobles that were allied to the noble he had killed in the academy to keep quiet, nor did he expect that a non-human suddenly ruling a city would be very welcome among other local nobles, that was the reason he was going so ham with inhuman or shall we say demonic training (see what I did there? No? I'll see myself out then)

"Well then, next on the menu let's start with ten at a time..."

Mike raised his control over ten servants and had them spar with ten other non-controlled servants, in other words, he was fighting ten battles at once training his ability to use his heightened control, after a few moments he had a headache coming on, after a few minutes blood slowly trickled out of his nose and then finely after about ten minutes he momentarily blacked out losing control over the servants, thus ending the so far shortest training of his near masochistic session

"[Drink]"

Mike felt refreshed after using drink as he consumed the rest of the blood sphere above him, then he walked into the mansion and took a quick shower before he dragged his tired body to bed and soon fell into a deep sleep, in every one of the four corners of the room stood a demonic armored servant, watching over their beloved master in silence as he slept

The next morning Mike woke up with a set, he vaguely felt that he had a nightmare but couldn't remember what it was about

"...Good morning"

""""Good morning master!""""

The four servants bowed down as they greeted him, Mike got out of bed and put on some clean clothes before he stretched and walked out of the room, the four servants formed up on him and escorted him downstairs as he sat down at the dinner table and ate his fill

"Now then next on the menu It's a repeat of yesterday of course"

Mike walked along and out into the courtyard where he began the same insane training routine from yesterday, first, he was beaten half to death, then he overburdened his paths with mana circulation training, then it was reconnections of his severed limbs and finely it was manipulation of his servants until he blacked out, then after a quick dinner, it was the same over again before he then went to bed late in the evening

As Mike was training at home Julie was heading towards the provincial capital, besides the central capital it was one of four on the island, it was the center of trade as well as the seat of power of the middle class nobles

"More like a den of debauchery Still, we need to do this and since it's likely that the enemy will target Mike I am the only one that can do this"

Julie lowered her body slightly, she was riding on Serina while four demonic armored servants followed closely after her on horseback, after about a week worth or ridding the group arrived at the provincial capital: Mort

"Finely here Now the hard part begins"

Julie and the others swiftly passed the inspections and with a minor bribe they were let into the city or Mort, speaking of Mort it was about twice the size of the academy city and besides the capital, it was the largest city Julie had even been too

'If I still were a naive level 3 [Paladin] I might be very impressed right now'

Julie tapped her foot against Serina signaling her to kneel down which she swiftly did, then Julie got off and began walking further into Mort followed closely by the demonic armored servants

"Kathy"

"Yes, mistress?"

"FInd us some accommodation, Heinrich begin making the rounds I want out of this shithole as soon as possible"

""Yes mistress""

The two demonic servants swiftly went about their tasks while Julie found a cafe to sit down to drink some tea, while she sipped the tea she felt numerous gazes on her

'It sure is hard being drop-dead gorgeous Here comes the first fly'

The fly Julie was referring to was a young man that looked like a servant, he wore a butler uniform and a thick metal collar around his neck, Julie faintly smelled fresh blood from him

"Excuse me miss, my master would like to buy you a meal if you're willing?"

Julie showed a thin smile before she spoke two words, not even sparing the young servant a glance

"Not interested"

The young servant trembled slightly before he began to churn his mana and a small flame appeared above his outstretched hand

"My master insists"

Julie finally looked at the young servant and narrowed her eyes slightly before she began to churn her mana along with the two servants behind her before she spoke a single word

"Scam!"

The servant trembled slightly, clearly, he wasn't used to being rejected and he opened his mouth to speak again

"Miss I represent the house of the flame, my master, the young master of the house has specifically shown you a great favor by inviting you to a meal Please follow along"

Julie gave a sigh and right before she was about to call out to Lina to end this pitiful fool but then mana suddenly churned in a carriage nearby as suddenly a scorching hot fireball was shot out from the open window, the fireball near-instantly landed on the young servant that then went up in flame with a scream, he soon regretted screaming however as the flame traveled down his throat and into his lungs, Julie watched with a cold look as the young servant clutched his melting slave collar with both hands and collapsed on the ground, the amazing fact in this context was that faint wheezing could be heard from him still as he was still somehow alive, at the same time a young dashing man stepped out of the carriage and walked over before he gave a bow to Julie

"I apologize for my servant's rudeness, my name is Gelvin of the house of the flame, I sincerely offer this rude servant for you to kill as a token of my apology"

Julie let out a faint smile as she waved her hand calling forth a small blue flame which quickly devoured the near-dead servant, even reducing his metal collar to a molten pool of metal in an instant, the young noble's eyes flashed with greed and astonishment for a moment before they returned to normal as he gave a cheerful laugh and praised

"Those flames are truly amazing I would truly love to compare them with my own flames someday May I have the honor of knowing your name miss?"

Julie swallowed down her mild disgust and showed a smile

"I am Julie, leader of the bloods"

"I see, an adventure I will remember it"

Galvin let out another cheerful laugh and sat down on the chair across from Julie before he asked

"So what is a pretty lady like you doing in a place like this Julie?"

Julie kept her neutral smile on her face as she sipped some tea before answering

"I am here to get some manpower, we are expanding our family Plus I need a set of custom made leather armor made"

Galvin gave a nod and summarized

"So high-level slaves and custom made leather armor Hmm Oh I know the perfect thing, there will be an auction in a few days, why not join me there?"

Julie suppressed her rising disgust as she kept her neutral smile and looked slightly surprised as she exclaimed

"My, an auction... that's perfect, I would love to accompany you, mister Galvin"

Galvin's face lit up with joy as he let out a cheerful laugh

"That's wonderful, the auction is in two days, how about I show you around the city until then?"

Julie gave a nod as her smile almost flinched

"Sure that would be lovely"

The two days passed with touring various places in Mort, from colosseum to theaters and cafe's and then finely the evening arrived Julie looked herself in the mirror as she muttered as if possessed

"Just a little longer Just a little longer Mike, I am coming home soon, wait for me"
