All five elders were looking at me while Sikaw waited on the side.I made myself look as humble as possible as I started telling them what had 'happened':"I was making my way to the border of our forest after I had volunteered to be one of the people that remain back to stop the pursuing assassins when I encountered one of the dark elves' scouts, I was able to make short work of them after I used the blood hardening ability to clog their arteries briefly before killing them in one go."After that, I moved away from the forest, making my way through a plain where I met a group of assassins that almost claimed my life, I won't go into details about this fight as it would look too trivial to your highnesses, but in the end, I was able to escape with my life while also delaying the assassins from catching up to the civilians.""I was able to gather some information about the dark elves, but I'm not sure if it's news for the elders."One of the burly male elders said with an annoyed tone:
When I arrived back at Nua's home, I was greeted by Nua's father, who approached me slowly, and then patted my shoulder before saying:"Hey there, Minato. I heard quite a lot of gossip about you and my wife. You didn't even taste the daughter, and you want the mother now?!"However, his words came with a joking tone as there was no malice in his eyes, it was quite obvious he didn't put the gossip into his heart, but he still had the time to joke around about it.He was a funny guy, I chuckled awkwardly and shook my head, making him laugh as he said:"Nua is inside. she said that if you are hungry, she will provide you with more blood."I nodded at him and decided to drink some more of her blood. It would be needed to get more memories about the blood elf tribe without having to ask around. That would lead to my cover being blown.I went inside the house as the father decided to leave us alone, her mother was nowhere in sight as we were the only ones in the house.Oh, they were already
Narwa had just finished the story when her husband walked in, seeing us talking to each other with no Nuwa in sight made him understand that she got quite exhausted after our 'actions'.He made a serious expression as he wanted to listen to the conversation, but it had already finished."What have you two been talking about?"Narwa looked at her husband and then told him that she had informed me about Nuwa's situation."Oh, so now you know why she had chosen you this quickly?"I nodded, and responded:"It seems like she is on the rebound after losing her former boyfriend, and she is now leaning on me for support because I'm one of the survivors, she is most likely projecting his image over mine."Narwa's eyes widened as she listened to my logical and mature response. Even though I was young, that didn't mean the bandits didn't teach me how to seduce, it all came in the same pack with acting!Getting a heartbroken woman on the rebound was rather easy, but it wasn't going to be a long o
The guards listened to me and decided to come to my house a few days later, just as I instructed them.It was most likely that they would report what happened to the higher-ups, but they would see it as an opportunity to use the blood elves' infighting to get rid of them!It was hard to sleep with a wolf as your neighbor, the rumors about the blood elves' hunger and instability made them enemy number one in the humanized elves' eyes, combined with the fact that they became more and more distrusting, paranoid and hateful as they accepted the human lifestyle made them as unstable as the blood elves!The humanized elves accepting human nature was the worst thing that could happen to the elf race, but it was a very good thing for me!I found an empty house and decided to rest there, sometimes doing simple shadow-boxing matches with imaginary opponents to keep my wits sharp, other times experimenting with the blood-hardening technique.I would need to become quite proficient with it to con
Even though he wasn't fully conscious during this 'rage mode' he was using, Zichi could still follow me around and recognize me.Did I strike such an intimate cord to the point his hatred was this intense?Despite his recognition, he was still as uncontrollable as ever, so even though he could follow me around, that didn't mean he didn't create mass destruction everywhere he went by. It got to the point that the training troops of the blood elf tribe had to be summoned to retrain him, but as soon as they arrived, the humanized elves' reinforcement came, and they started fighting with the blood elf's troops!It was pandemonium, the children were crying, and the elderly were shaking as they tried to protect their grandsons and granddaughters.The able-bodied men tried to fight it off with the humanized elves while protecting their weaker compatriots, the troops were trying to take the fights away from the living areas, but the humanized elves didn't care!They used elemental magic combi
I could feel the energy I got from eating Narwa settling inside my body, even though the changes in my body had been finished, there was still quite a lot of energy that needed to be digested, and my body still had room to improve from this meal.The energy inside Narwa's body was immense, and even though she was diseased, the energy in her body didn't disappear, she was just unable to use it!The bone disease would flare up, and injure her marginally every time she tried to use her energy, thus she was unable to compete as a fighter in the army anymore.The bone disease came from a fight against one of the dark elves' generals. Normally, such a disease should be easily healed by the elders of the tribe, but from her memories, I learned that the procedure was too dangerous for her, she would need to keep her consciousness while her bones were all removed and replaced, enduring the pain of having her bones removed while conscious wasn't something that Narwa was able to endure, regardle
The further we went up on the tower, the higher the gravity became. The first time when I entered, the higher level of gravity had been turned off, so I wouldn't be turned into paste, but by the time we reached the 4th floor, I could feel my internal organs shake due to the immense amount of pressure that was put on them.My will was tenacious, so I was able to endure, but the pain of having such a huge load put upon your shoulders, then on your internal organs, muscles, bones, and even brain was something that I could barely endure.It was somewhat similar to the feeling of disintegration I had when I ate too much.To be frank, gravity also increased the body's heat, making me sweat buckets, thus affecting my balance and almost crushing me under my weight.No matter what type of gravity we experienced, Sikaw looked nonchalant as he meditated and waited for me to adapt.It looked like his body had most likely adapted to the same level of gravity as the elders.Blood magic was only ten
In the dream, my parents were happily teaching me how to milk a goat, when all of a sudden, everything trembled, their faces turned dark, and they pointed at me saying:"Run! Run!"They told me to run, and I did, but I seemingly couldn't move. My parents looked at me with horror as my mother was snatched, and my father's head flew into the sky, then a geyser of blood came out of his cut neck.It was just like 9 years ago... I was 16 now, and I was 7 back then.Life had changed so much...I closed my eyes for one second as the dream changed how I saw fit, the decapitated body disappeared as the corpses of all of the bandits appeared around me, all of them with their heads cut off and impaled on spikes.I had gotten my revenge, but I was still feeling empty, this dream reminded me that my mother was still out there, but even though I was empty, I also did not care about her, or her wellbeing, it was strange, almost contradictory, my consciousness wanted me to see her, but at the same ti
