Survivor Evolution: demonic system

Otherworldly

The meridians which were about to dug into Fey Wesonga stopped midway. The vague images of Lazy Wafula and Fey Wesonga started coming back into this being and as he continued to hear Fey Wesonga's voice, the vague images became even more pellucid. The meridians then slithered back to his chest retracting while his red inferno eyes dimmed, turning back to their usual black color. The air of divinity also cancelled out...

The air of divinity calmed down and dissipated utterly as if it was never there in the first place. The coldness and emotionless on his face still lingered. It seemed like the air of divinity was deeply rooted in his essence in that his already cold nature was upped even further. His face was as if was not meant to smile let alone laugh. Previously, Lazy Wafula might have at least afford a slight smile but right now, that was not even something that can be possible. He had become an entity out of this world, an entity that knows no emotions. To him, this world was puny for his existance. The people on it were like ants in front of him that he can just crush if needed. Allowing them to live was like him being merciful to their pity existance or else he would have swept all of them out.

Lazy Wafula released his grip on Fey Wesonga's neck making him fall on to the ground.

"Man, what is wrong with you? You became like a beast from hell and I was so afraid that you were going to eat me up." Fey Wesonga tried to sound him out though he was respectful not daring to anger the beast in front of him.

"You can take that beast and I will take the other one." Lazy Wafula said to Fey Wesonga nonchalantly and waved his hand dismissively.

"I won't dare! You are the one that killed them, I didn't do a thing and only stood here like a fool. I don't deserve the spoils." Fey Wesonga quickly said fawningly. Who would dare stand before this beast? The guy almost killed him. He feared that a slight mistake of his will make Lazy Wafula displeased and then his head will roll the next moment.

"Just do as I said. I will be needing your help to show me around, so you need to be powerful to do that." Lazy Wafula said before walking towards the corpse of the smaller Wood River. 

Fey Wesonga stood there petrified. He didn't knew what to do, if he should go on with what Lazy had just said or not. "Are you sure man with what you have just said?" He wanted to confirm. But Lazy Wafula remained quite not wanting to be perturbed.

Lazy Wafula allowed his meridians to extend and just like earlier, they wriggled around the bone of his arm up to his hand and dug into the soft skin of the Wood River. Like a chain, they parted and distributed themselves inside the body of the Wood River and started absorbing its blood energy.

"Beep"

[ Blood energy of mortal Wood River absorbed +2 ]

[ Blood energy of mortal Wood River absorbed +2 ]

[ Blood energy of mortal Wood River absorbed +2 ]

[ Blood energy of mortal Wood River absorbed +2 ]

"Soul of Wood River available do you want to enslave it?" 

"Yes or No?"

"Yes!" Lazy exclaimed without thinking.

"Beep"

"Soul of Wood River gained"

[ Nature of the soul gained - Wood ability enhancement ]

Lazy Wafula then willed his interface window to see his gains. Unlike the little Wood River which gave him seven blood energy, this Wood River gave him eight blood energy.

He saw that his mortal level one blood energy bar had increased from eight to sixteen while his state of health had gone all the way from excellent to wounded. On the other hand, his strength had increased to sixteen from eight while his energy points had increased from ten to thirty. He had killed three Wood Rivers, so his energy points after the kill became thirty because he gains ten energy points for each level one mortal beast killed.

After seeing his gains, he shifted his gaze at his wound where the Wood River had pierced through with its tongue. Because he has cut its tongue in to two previously, the part that had separated from the Wood River was still stuck in his shoulder. Due to gaining that dark soul wisp of attribute enhancing, his constitution had underwent a transformation and thus, the corrupting ability of the tongue was no longer effective to him. The blood energy of the several Wood Rivers that he had killed run through his meridians. It made him feel like a Wood River when the air of dark divinity was no longer active. One should know that cultivators needed to cleanse themselves of the beastial aura in their blood energy that they absorbed from beasts so that their blood energy can condense. They cleanse themselves using the spiritual energy that is found in their home planets as the cultivation planes didn't have this spiritual energy. A cultivation plane like the undead cultivation plane where Lazy Wafula was, had dark energy as opposed to spiritual energy found in planets. Of course if the cultivators of undead cultivation plane absorbed this dark energy from the earth, the energy will be pure without the beastial aura and they will not be required to cleanse themselves but that process was too slow and tasking for the mind.

Anyway, the tongue which was still stuck in his shoulder was undergoing changes. The element which it had was also inside Lazy Wafula not to mention the Wood River's blood energy in his dantian. Those two things only were enough for the tongue to think that he was a Wood River so, it was altering itself changing to a piece of flesh to revamp the hole where the flesh was torn away. Right now, the big lesion in his shoulder was covered up and the rejuvenation was stretching forward towards his hand to over up his bony arm. The process was slow yet fast. Lazy Wafula was sure that when he gets back to the shelter, he would be fully healed and maybe his health status may climb to a normal state.

When Fey Wesonga saw how his lesion was healing at a fast rate not to mention that he can even use the organs of beasts to replace the flesh that was torn away, Fey Wesonga was taken aback but he was not that too much aghast because he had now already became used to this person who was otherworldly, he can not be explained with words alone.

Knowing that his injuries will heal with no time, Lazy Wafula turned to Fey Wesonga. 

"Why haven't you still not absorbed the blood essence of that beast?" Last Wafula asked him with a scowl appearing on his face.

"Err... You may not know this, my absolution rate is a little bit slow. It takes me six hours to milk a beast dry and this is not just for me as it also happens to other people. The only thing that differentiated us is the time taken. Like some may take an hour while others three hours and so on. The only guys that are quick in absorbing the blood energy from beasts in our shelter are those guys from the top ten higher races; the demons, the vampires and the witches.

Fey Wesonga had never seen a human that can absorb the blood energy at a fast rate like Lazy Wafula. He was even having other thoughts regarding Lazy Wafula's origins. 'This guy is not a human for sure. Humans are not this talented.'

"So, what do you plan to do with the beast?" Lazy Wafula asked him.

Fey Wesonga took the beast and carried it on his shoulders. Even though the beast was huge, cultivators had a boisterous phsique in that even mortal experts can carry tons without breaking a sweat.

"I will absorb it slowly in my room." Fey Wesonga said enthusiastically. 

The injury on Lazy Wafula's arm was still healing and they were also tired so, they can not continue with the hunt with their condition forcing them to go back to the shelter. As for that smaller Wood River that escaped into the tree, Lazy Wafula had perceived all the trees around them and he didn't find its presence anywhere. It looks like the beast escaped swiftly after it saw its fellows taken out easily like chickens.

Lazy Wafula perceived his body and find out that his understanding of the Wood ability had increased considerably. He just had to kill and absorb the blood energy of a few more Wood Rivers an then he would have mastered the complete Wood ability of those Wood Rivers.

"System, what is the present percentage of the wood element in me." Lazy Wafula asked the system expectantly.

"Beep"

"Unfortunately, the value is not that big. You will need to absorb more of those Wood Rivers if you want to gain their ability..."

"Cut the crap! Just tell me the value so that I can be prepared." Lazy Wafula interjected with a displeased look.

"Beep"

"System analyzing"

"Host has 10% wood element."

'That is so small. The two Wood Rivers can only give out a meager ten percent of the element? Then I will need to absorb the blood energy of more than twenty Wood Rivers so that I can finally obtain their wood element fully.' Lazy Wafula thought in consideration.

"Beep"

"Affirmative. I agree with the host about that. Don't be hot blooded at everything, some things need to be done slowly."

Lazy Wafula was a little taken aback by the system. This system was peeking at his thoughts once again. He really didn't like the free will that system has for peeking at his thoughts. He felt like he was too naked in front of an audience. 

'I will have to think of a  way to stop it from peeking at my thoughts.' Lazy Wafula vowed to himself. He must do something about this system or else, some of his secrets can be easily revealed by the entity behind this system.

"By the way, I haven't given you a name m, What about I give you one right now?"
