I am the Phoenix Lord

Chapter 7: Astral Bloodline

Is this it? Is this life again?

BADUMM!

His heart was giving violent thumps unlike that of a regular human being. His veins were tightening up, his chest stiffening.

His lost body parts began to reforge themselves in an abstract way. The lost blood and flesh crawling up together and back to his stumps.

The wounds across his face began to colour red, not just there found this colouring but his entire skin and flesh, melting as though ice to water.

Soon enough his blood like skin began to solidify into a sort of a crimson armoured metal, his teeth had grown into large fangs and his eyes were totally blurred but he could see everything around him.

GRUCCK!

The creature that emerged from Yuka's body began to mount it's feet with a sinister presence.

It weaved it's eyes around the barn, sniffing momentarily to get a scent.

The Shintou spirit and strange figure, alongside the brutalized corpse that belonged to Ted.

This layed the question if how long he had been out.

There was a much primordial command that urged the veins in it's body to reverbrate, the look in it's face to kill, and the voice screaming in it's ears to.....

"Kill! Blood! Everyone is Blood! Kill all."

Without hesitation it hopped into action to the commands given by it's instinct racing through the barn and meeting the Shintou spirit.

The speed at which it ran was extremely quick, covering meters in seconds.

This is noticed by the Shintou spirit who weaved it's claws at the Red Crimson beast.

SHWUUUUULLLLMMM!

Too fast for the Shintou spirit to react, the Red Crimson beast caught it's hand by the wrist jerking hard on it and seperating it's hand from it's body.

The Shintou spirit shrieked dazed by this attack. The Crimson beast wasted no time lunging foward and digging it's own claws into the chest of the crimson beast.

"KEYAAAKAAA!" This screech emerged from it's lungs once more. Clearly this was a greater match than it expected, a greater grade spirit.

The strange Ryoka dude began to take faltering steps back. The amount of energy exhuming out of the monster in the environment was overwhelming.

"This kid.... Is a.... Bloodline!"

Still in the same situation, the Crimson beast doesn't hesitate to plunge it's second claw into the Shintou spirits chest urging it to begin a violent writhing and attempt to break free from the Crimson beast's grasp.

Rip! PLUUUPP!

"You bastards!" The Crimson beast muttered tearing the Shintou spirit apart from the outside into two seperate halves killing it.

"How dare you hurt my Yuka!" The Crimson beast fixated a glare on the strange man making him shiver in somewhat apprehension.

'A high grade spirit, it can even speak English!'

The man stopped hi retreat bending his knees a bit in a crouching position. If he were to move any furthermore he might instigate the Crimson beast to attack.

He still needed more time to plan things out.

'My ability to create a Shintou spirit of low grade has met it's end, I no longer have any skill to get me out of this predicament.... This is an high grade Shintou..... Rather this is a faithful....'

ZWISSSH!

A violent gale of wind passed by the strange man at the same moment the Crimson beast dissapearing from his gaze.

"What the heck...." His eyes began to bulge, hot boiling tears rolling down them, he didn't need his mind to interpret however knew.....

SPLURT!

From his neck up to his head shattered like glass however torn into a thousand chunks of flesh and brain parts alongside his cranium.

With it's bare claws, the Crimson beast had split his entire cranium to nothing useful but a decorations to the floor and hay.

"At least I died.... At the hand of a powerful.... Shintou."

The Crimson beast stood up straight letting out a monstrous growl before speaking. "Take care of him."

There was no one in the barn but it, so why did it speak this way? Another mystery to the board needing answers.

"Sure I will, we Bloodline candidates must hang together,...... What should I call you!" From the top of the barn where the light wasn't present the being answered with a cool voice accompanied with a small laughter.

"Astral Hokama!"

Let the Bloodline be passed on.
