A day after the incident at the academy Mike and the group arrived in a nearby city, the line up of ten level 5's was sure to attract attention, but Mike didn't plan on hiding, he was here in the city of Berm for a very specific reason, he made a few hand signals and the eight servants went on their way to complete their assigned tasks, anwhile Mike and Julie strolled the streets with Snow walking behind them, at the evening they ate at a small restaurant
"So is this city good?"
"Yeah Let's do it"
"Okay Mike, but first let's eat sothing it's going to be a long night"
Mike showed a smile, he had been thinking about how to do this for so ti all of which stemd from one question, what was the difference between him and the ruling noble classes?
'...Territory, inco but most importantly manpower That's right bitches it's ti to expand the flock Who am I even talking to..?'
As Mike wondered if he was becoming crazier than he already was his servants slowly tightened a nose around the local governor and by evening Mike had replaced him after a very public speech about stepping down and leaving his holdings to Mike his long lost son, or so such, speaking of the governor he was a level 4 bloke nad Michal that was extra chill after Mike replaced his soul with sothing darker, of course, the local powers were uneasy especially after they received reports that a large group of people was heard screaming during the night at the manor, a local snake nad Javis was sitting in his mansion smoking fairy dust along with so of his most trusted underlings while they disguised the local power change
"I don't like it"
"Co on Snake you been saying that for the past hour, say sothing new"
"Hey you know I am no good with words, I just don't like it"
Javis took a deep puff before he spoke
"I also have a bad feeling, let's bail"
"Really boss?"
"Yeah I am serious, we can always rebuild in another place"
"Okay boss let's do it"
"Now, now, now Don't be in such a hurry to leave"
"Wha---"
Four thuds were heard as the local snake fell to the floor along with his trusted underlings, when they woke up again they found themselves in the lord's mansion where the new lord of the city was spinning his knife around in boredom as another local snake were brought up to him by so guards that had a very unnoticeable cut each on their cheeks before Mike then swiped his knife over the woman's cheek and muttered "[Control]" in a seemingly bored way before he asked Julie that stood next to him
"How many are left?"
"Just the ones in the room"
"...Nice, the end is nearly in sight, what about the spores?"
"Why do you ask that? You know they could not have made it far already"
Mike waved his hand as he commanded
"Well then bring the next ones"
Then it was seemingly Javis' and his friends turn, they struggled and wanted very much to scream out but they were gagged (as Mike tired of hearing the others screams) then Mike ran the knife across their cheeks leaving a shallow cut before he muttered
"[Control]"
Then their vision went dark as their souls were forcefully dragged out of their bodies and a ***** ***** **** took over then Mike stood up and stretched before he spoke to Julie
"Let's head into the city and get so food"
"Sure"
Mike took Julie's hand and walked into the city followed closely by a group of guards that ford up behind them, they found a restaurant and ate there before they tipped their waiter quite generously and went back to the mansion where Mike went straight to bed, he had after all been using [Contorl] on all influential people of the city effectively putting the entire city 100% under his control as for the people living in the city, they only knew that there was a new governor there and nothing else
About a weeks ti passed before the 'spores', which was, in reality, small groups of controlled and evolved servants returned with so kidnapped people which Mike then used control on, of course not all the 'spores' returned so were captured and killed over and over before they were sent to research which eventually caught the attention of the upper-class nobles, the fact that they were undying was in particular interesting to them
"Now go back from where you ca and continue your lives until the ti to strike cos"
Mike then let out an unnecessary evil laugh as he ordered the sleeper agents, he would likely not see any of them again as he planned to use them for suicide missions and he had not evolved them, so they were still mostly mortal, still, Mike figured they would be sowhat useful for him to gather information in hostile territory
'...Well that's another line I always wanted to say down, being a demon is so much fun'
Mike stood up from the elevated chair and walked out towards the inner courtyard where close to 20 level 5 guards stood ready with wooden swords, a glint of red light flashed in Mike's eyes as he buttoned open his shirt before he threw it to the side, then he gritted his teeth for a mont before he relaxed
"Now then beat until I am half dead"
The process Mike was going through was not so masochistic streak, it was a well known concept in eastern martial arts, or at least Mike thought so
'Fuck Shit Fuckshit Shitfuck'
As Mike was gradually beaten blue and yellow by the wooden swords which rained down on him without rcy he gradually started to regret his decision, but deep down he knew he had to persevere, and so after half an hour Mike finally called out
"Stop"
The wooden swords, now cowered with blood stopped, then sothing odd happened, the blood gathered on the wooden swords as well as the blood on the ground around Mike as well as the blood on his own body started to gather up floating up into a ball above his head before it was filtered from dirt and impurities, Speaking of Mike he was a sorry sight, his bones were broken in multiple places per bone, his skin was flayed and broken, his eyes were blinded from repeated blows, his fingers were hanging loosely from his hand the bone inside reduced to mush, his two horns were broken off, it was a miracle that he was still standing, normally he would have been crippled for life (if he didn't succumb to his internal bleedings that is) then gradually the remains of his face twisted into what could be interpreted as a smile as he spoke
"[Drink]"
The blood sphere that floated above him gradually reduced in size as his own body gradually restored while a low howl sounded out from his mouth, it was painful, he might very well go insane from the pain of his bones, skin, and organs were forcefully restored to pri shape, but soon a low howl was heard from Mike that commanded
"I need more blood!"
The servants around him moved quickly and brought in slaves and slit their throats, as the blood flowed into the sphere above Mike that was still gradually shrinking, soon the process ended as Mike returned to his pri state, if one looked closely one could see that his mussels looked more refined than before, Mike raised his hand to eye hight before he opened and closed his fist a few tis and then he showed a smile
"It worked though the improvent is lower than expected Oh well, onto the next item on the nu"
Mike sat down on the floor and began churning his mana, gradually it neared 130 circulations per minute which was his max, then a red light flashed in Mike's eyes before he began forcefully increasing the circulations, soon it neared 140 circulations per minute, Mike's face twisted with pain as blue spots began appearing on his body, it was from internal bleeding caused by his mana ruining his organs as it ran amok, then when it neared 150 circulations per minute Mike suddenly spewed out blood mist and called out
"Drink!"
The blood sphere above his head began shrinking again as Mike grit his teeth as the broken paths inside him were restored forcefully along with the internal bleedings, all the while he kept his circulations up causing more injuries, this kept going for so ti and after a few minutes Mike gradually slowed down his mana circulations before he finally let out labored gasps as he tried his best to catch his breath as a red light flashed in his eyes
"Now for the next item on the nu"
Mike stood up and opened his hand, soon the knife landed in his hand then Mike held out his arm before he slashed down cutting off his left lower arm from the elbow down
