Scarlet
After a period of ti completely unknown to , since it felt both like just seconds pass but also as if entire days passed both at the sa ti, I find myself reappearing on a cliff with so sort of strange red ground beneath us, feeling very disoriented. To the point of stumbling out of Gramps arms and vomiting on the ground.
Fucking hell, please, lets not do that again I mutter, only to realize what I just said and look back up, not that Im not appreciative of your help.
Gramps just laughs while waving away my words, I wouldve been surprised if you didnt react like that.
I narrow my eyes on the man for a mont, only to act like he didnt just say he expected to vomit as I look around our new surroundings.
The terrain here is very much what I rember seeing when I was flying through the air before over the central continent, but unlike then, I find us on top of a large cliff overlooking a wasteland. One filled with, in simple terms, nothing but chaos.
Everywhere I look, all I can find are demons fighting each other. So intelligent, so not. All of them are Class III or Class IV, with the Class IVs closer to the center and the Class IIIs at the very edges.
The majority of the demons are Class IV though.
And theyre of all different kinds. Literally just thousands and thousands of different species all battling it out here.
This is the Battlefield of Blood and Ruin, Gramps says in explanation as he steps up to the edge of the cliff, bringing my attention back to the ground beneath us as I hear splashing sounds. And the ground itself is covered in puddles of blood with dead black soil stained in red all over it. Its a place where demons go to either die or grow stronger. He glances at . The only people who co here are those who are aware that they may very well die in this place yet co anyways in the search of power.
Ive never heard of this place before, I tell him honestly as I step up to the edge of the cliff as well.
Gramps snorts before looking back out over the battlefield and saying, Of course you havent. All of the information the human world has on Tartarus ca from those irritating Knights, and there was no way they would ever co anywhere near the central continent.
I blink at that, only to realize that hes right.
The only reason I wasnt able to track them when they first arrived here was because of those damned Purple and Black Knights hiding their presence from and my seers, he continues, sounding rather irked by the Knights in general. And right before I found a solution to find their locations, they retreated back to Earth.
Huh. Was wondering why he let them run around through Tartarus killing his people.
Turns out he didnt.
Anyways, I transform back into my beast form, bringing his gaze to for a mont until he looks out over the battlefield again and says, My dear pup, please keep in mind that the demons down there are stronger than any of the other demons at the sa level than youve faced thus far. Theyre also perfectly willing to die out there in their hunt for more powerful achievents. His voice grows slightly darker. So do not let your guard down. And if I see you going after sothing too powerful, I will not hesitate. I will pull you out of there myself before erasing the one you try to fight personally in order to clear the slight.
While his words do surprise a little, Im far too focused on searching the battlefield below for a target to care about his warning.
I dont need sothing that high a level to bring up an extra nine levels.
Just sothing maybe about a hundred levels above ?
Rember that theyre Class IV, so theyll have the multiplier of one, Tar warns . These are also more powerful demon species as well. Ones with higher capabilities in general.
I nod my head at that, deciding to lower the bar a bit to seventy levels above this ti.
Strictly because I dont need to kill sothing as high a level above as Ive done before just for nine levels.
So instead of searching deeper into the battlefields, I look to the outer edges of it for Class IVs. And after searching for several minutes, identifying one demon after another after another, I eventually manage to find a Class IV demon at about level five hundred and sixty. Which will probably give enough EXP to reach level 500 myself.
Hell do, I mutter, bringing Gramps attention to where Im looking. And as soon as he nods, giving the go-ahead, I imdiately burst into action, jumping straight off of the cliff and soaring through the air towards the demon I am targeting.
A revenant, which is a type of demon that uses spectral magic. One that lets them go in and out of the physical world and into the ethereal world where ghosts and phantoms live.
But a revenant, unlike ghosts and phantoms, can only stay fully on one side of the ethereal barrier, not being able to fully traverse it at will and only when theyre outside of combat. With the exception of its ability to partially traverse, making a hand or claw partially ethereal.
Which makes it the perfect target for as while they are powerful, theyre also weak to blood magic.
All stuff I learned from my ti at the kitsunes castle. A rather unpleasant ti, to say the least. If for no other reason than the kitsune in general, not to ntion their leader.
I push that out of my mind as I continue flying through the air straight towards the demon in question.
Ti to hunt.
