Sir I don't like this place, this place is below our standards. You have to get rid the intruders if you ever want to leave this location, with your sufficient experience it won't be a problem right! This was discussion between jake and his subordinate at one part of the capital. The blood fiend sect... Meanwhile Lucinda who received the order the day before was just arriving at the departure point, she had on a pair of tight jean trousers which showedof her beautiful curves, a scarf was around her neck, and a red leather jacket which she wore. She looked battle ready, but in truth she didn't even know why she had worn these, the idea of the glasses was to hide the colour of her eyes, she didn't think she'll be able to explain to the group how they just came up. "Great" Jake exclaimed. "Lucinda's here, we can set off now" And so the team set off on their journey into the woods to catch the intruders that were camping at the outskirts of the town. Lucinda!!! Jake called. "I
Sara breathed roughly as she arrived at the gates of the capital. Now that the battle was over she was overwhelmed by the tiredness of her body. Even if she decreased the amount of "Aura" as she got used to killing the vampires she still had almost none left. She constantly had her aura wraped around her legs to boost her speed and agility and still used a bit of the one in her arms to activate the perforating ability of her claws. She sat on the bloody ground to rest a bit and allow her body to regain her lost strength. "You did a good job for your first time." Lane arrived from behind her, smiling and carrying a plate of delicacies in his hand. "So now you know why I told you that it was too dangerous?" Sara nodded and answered shortly. "If I had waited till when I had grasped about 10 percent of my bloodline powers I would have been able to take em' all on with ease". Lane nodded. Sara reviewed the battle she just had in hes mind as she was waiting for her body to recove
"huhhhh" Lucinda felt her chest ache, it felt like someone was pulling her soul out of her body. Maybe it was just her mind playing games but she felt she could hear Alex speaking with someone who was covered in blood, the Aura around the person was just so filled with death even Lucinda who had already began her journey through the cultivation world felt weary of the hazy figure....... " I feel like the connection between Shin can be broken, although it'll come with a severe price, I want to be with Jack, even though Shin is my mate and I shouldn't be able to live this far apart and away from him, I've been able to sustain myself, probably got something to do with this bloodline." Lucinda had began to brainstorm on this particular issue that had been on her mind earlier, now that she was just heading to the sect's location she felt that she could put her mind at ease and look through herself... Emmm.... Jake is it possible for one to be so far off from ones mate for so long; Lucin
Yaoyao had nearly killed all of the beast sent into her private room, and the elders discussion had already led to who or whom would be taking her as his/her disciple. As the elders watched Yaoyao's display a howl was heard from the next chamber, it was a howl filled with pain and rejection, whosoever was howling wasn't feeling to good. Upon turning to the direction of the howl they found Lucinda switching back to human form as she was covered by a red cloak that nearly seemed ethereal, but couldn't be seen through.. "Awhoooh" Lucinda's bloodline had been activated, she couldn't take the humiliation anymore, to put it in a way the bloodline activated itself while using Lucinda as it's vessel to express it's anger on being bullied by beast which it felt it could take care of by itself. "Let me lead you to victory child, if you keep up with this your doggedness you'll end up losing" It was Amelia speaking to her, she seemed pissed at her as she kept on trying to restrain it.. 'List
Cleopatra had acknowledged the mysterious individual as her master and had hardened her mind to follow this path as this was her destiny. "Now that you've accepted me I'll tell you about your past" We are a special breed of queens in the outer realm, as the mysterious individual spoke she took of her mask and showed her face to Cleo. The mysterious existence was a woman not only was she a lady she was quite beautiful and she looked young, Cleopatra felt like she'd rather call her 'Big Sister' than 'Master'. "Don't let my looks deceive you I'm way older than you with more than 700yrs" Uhhhhh! Cleopatra gasped as she took a glance at the magnificent figure before her. 700yrs couldn't be seen as much in the life span of their kind, if anything this mysterious Lady and Cleopatra could be seen as members of the younger generation.. I need to understand something, if you're here from another realm, how in the world are you a wolf witch? Not only that the records from my father said t
Lucinda landed on the pack of magical beasts. The snakes were already awakened by the noise coming from the wall and immediately attacked her. A two meters large head with the mouth open came in his direction but was instantly cut in two halves by a vertical slash. The snakes grew restless when one of their pack died and madly pounced at her, she was forced to block the incoming blows. She was sent flying on the wall where she came from and brutally crashed on it. She could not waste any time as the rank 1 snakes were jumping at him from the holes above and the rank 2 ones were encircling him. Generally speaking, a group of rank 2 magical beasts could not hurt Lucinda in a normal situation. However, she had to jump straight in the middle of their pack due to the fall and the snakes were already prepared for her arrival. There was also the problem with the type of magical beasts they were. Snake-types magical beasts were usually very resilient and had a strong body with few wea
Lucinda kept on her movement till she passed the entrance and entered the innner part of the cave. The insides were slightly more intact than the outsides and from some of the remains, you could imagine how luxurious it should have been before. She moved quickly and stopped only after he found a small metal door still closed in one of the rooms. She became excited and pushed the door open. The door was heavy and scraping sounds came from the ground as it opened. Lucinda took a look at the other side and saw a small room almost empty except for a skeleton sitting on a throne with his limbs crossed. Hmm!!! This is quite weird, how'd the creepy woman get to move a whole mansion and place it deep in a cave, this is basically kidnapping. Lucinda focused all hee mental energy on the skeleton but she found nothing wrong with it, so she decided to examine the room. The room was clean and completely empty, its walls seemed more resistant than the others of the building. 'This should h
Lucinda stretched her claws and pointed its tip to her chest. She pushed firmly and the blade stabbed her skin. The dark blood poured in the wound and mixed with Sara's body leaving a black mark. 'Again!' She took out the saber and dipped it in the cask and then she stabbed her chest again. As she repeated the process, a figure began to appear on her body. Lucinda took two hours to complete the drawing and when it was over it covered her entire right chest area and a half of her shoulder, as for the pain she felt during the process, it didn't even make her tremble. Next, she used the remaining dark liquid in the cask to add details to the snake figure which took her another hour. When the blood was over, the drawing on her body began to feel heavy, like some sort of burden was added there. Lucinda stared at her shoulder and nodded in satisfaction. 'The first part is complete, now the heart.' The heart of the snake appeared in her hand and Sara closed her eyes to concentrate
Peak of the third rank of the body at the age of nineteen and a half!That was an incredible feat!Most of it though was due to the Forging of the Seven Hells in which Lucinda had trained in his childhood.Unorthodox techniques had a faster pace of training but required for the cultivator to undergo risky procedures.The Forging of the Seven Hells had endangered Lucinda's life many times, it was no wonder that he could reach the peak of the third rank at such a young age.'Now, I need to store "Breath" through my whole body.'A lot of energy was required for the reconstruction of the body and, of course, the best source of energy of that world was the marvelous "Breath".Lucinda resumed her cultivation, she had to be sure that her body was filled with "Breath" before she attempted in the reconstruction.One week passed uneventfully, with Lucinda focusing each night concentrating on the Yin body and using the rest of the day to sleep.Rest was necessary during that process, the body ne
Lucinda's life became quite engaging. She would still maintain her usual training routine most of the time but, at specific intervals, her presence was requested in Kurt's hunting group to organize and plan their next mission. They would usually hunt twice a month and only in danger zones where they were sure that the number of rank 4 magical beasts was not too high. Lucinda was a burden for them after all, they couldn't risk being ganged up by several strong creatures. That's why their focus was on the lone packs in specific areas, they had to be sure that nothing unexpected could happen. It had to be said though that Lucinda wasn't completely useless. The group of hunters soon discovered that, during the planning phase, her insights on the behavior of the magical beasts were extremely valuable, so much that Ada would often ask for her opinion. There was a time when they had to face two packs of Hellish hounds both led by a rank 4 magical beast. Lucinda suggested for the two s
Another wave of attacks crashed on the Shrinking elephant once it was on the ground, when dealing with a rank 4 creature, it was better not to take any chance.The magical beast was laying on the ground, its skin was torn everywhere and its gray flesh sprouted blood on the terrain.Newton and Kurt hit repeatedly its head for a while before they stopped seeing that life was abandoning it."Lucinda, it's safe now!"Kurt shouted seeing that the elephant was about to die.Lucinda didn't hesitate and ran at full speed toward the battlefield.She had come prepared: she was wearing a black robe that featured long and large sleeves that completely hid her hands.That allowed her to perform the Blood drain spell as she ran without being noticed by the others in her group."Turn."Lucinda ordered once he arrived next to Kurt.Snorts could be heard coming from some of the hunters, yet, under Kurt's admonishing gaze, they all turned and left Lucinda alone with the beast.Only when he was sure tha
Recognizing the danger before it was too late was one of the key aspects of survival.Hunters generally relied on reports and on their senses to understand if an area was too dangerous or if a pack had rank 4 magical beasts among them.That's why many of them just ignored the study of traces or weren't adept in that field, the senses of a cultivator were generally enough to recognize beings of such might.Yet, having more information could only be considered an advantage, no matter how small it was."This is indeed surprising, I had to hunt in this area for a month before becoming able to recognize the rank of those beasts by their footprints. The academy is worthy of its fame."Ada praised before continuing with her questions."And, what do you think will it be the best approach against them?"Lucinda's answer came immediately."In their reduced size, they are too dangerous because they can maintain the same strength behind each attack while removing the weakness of their huge frame.
In the main hall of the Hunter's guild, a dozen cultivators were sitting around Lucinda's.Some of them were shouting and pointing at him, others were angrily drinking from their jugs, it didn't seem that the conversation was peaceful."No, I won't stop. No, I don't care if you can't gain Credits due to my behavior. If you can't match my hunting speed, you should just consider changing your profession. Is this clear enough for you?"Lucinda said calmly.She had sold the magical beasts' corpses and then joined the other hunters on their table.Yet, as soon as the conversation started, she was asked to slow her killing of rank 3 magical beasts.It was obvious that there had been a lot of complaints after her initial refusal for the conversation to reach that point."Impudent! We have families here in the capital! We have maintained ourselves for decades hunting magical beasts! I won't accept that a new hunter, that gained his entry with the help of the Royals, will ruin my job!"Many hu
Lucinda's biggest issue in using the Blood drain spell to boost her body's strength was that she could only use rank 3 magical beasts in the process.Rank 4 creatures gave more nourishment but she simply didn't have the power to fight them.What happened with Abel was a fluke, his physical strength was in the third rank and he was also injured, making him the perfect target for Lucinda's spells.However, magical beasts had a far stronger body than cultivators, Lucinda didn't have the confidence to beat the latter let alone the beasts.'I guess, I'll be forced to strive for quantity over quality.'Lucinda thought.She was inspecting the various boards listing the hunting zones in the Hunter's guild.'They are quite crowded, as expected.'She sighed internally as she inspected the low-danger areas featuring large numbers of rank 3 beasts.'Basically, all the hunters that can't join parties hunting rank 4 creatures are here.'There were a lot of names next to those zones, Lucinda guessed
Eliminating the unstable parts would reduce the effective power of the item but it made possible for the forging to continue.Lucinda's attention was completely on the internal composition of his creation.Every time she saw signs of instability, she would manipulate that specific part to separate from the core.Little by little, the item in her hands reached the length of a Moon needle.Yet, the forging was not complete.The toxic smoke continued to corrode the bone, forcing Lucinda to cut even more pieces from it.From the size of a needle to the one of a small shard.From a shard to a fingernail.From a fingernail to nothing.The item completely turned into dust, the forging had failed.However, Lucinda was excited.'Finally, it didn't explode! This is the right method to forge with my current materials, I just have to accept that I can't create a complete weapon while I have a rank 3 body.'What she was aiming for with those processes was to gather experience toward what would eve
On one side, there were the nobles that wanted more power and wanted to dethrone the Elbas family.They tried to probe a reaction from the Royals to understand their line of rule and sent one of the heirs of a large-size noble family for the mission.One the other one, there were the Royals that wanted to maintain control over their subjects.They could not personally attack Samuel's group because doing that would lead to a public uproar but they also wanted to limit the growth of the other noble families.That's why they used the criminals that they were gathering for the creation of a hidden army.In a world where birthright decided most of your future, there was an overabundance of individuals that broke the rules in order to become stronger.Those individuals were under the control of Lady Chen's' branch of the Royal family.Lucinda clearly understood why the Royals needed to create such an army.'There are too many noble families. No matter how strong they are or for how long the
'It's over.'Lucinda heaved a sigh and looked around her.The signs of the battle were clearly shown on the terrain.Large red puddles covered the ground and corpses filled the environment.The mountain path had been ruined, holes and marks were everywhere on the terrain, normal carriages could not cross that road anymore.'I should first gather all the valuable things and then rest. Even with a rank 2 dantian, I'm almost out of "Breath".'Lucinda went to every corpse on the ground and searched for storage devices or valuable items.The soldiers of the Calhoun's family had no space-rings and their weapons could only be sold for pieces of gold so he simply ignored them.By selling one Obsidian Credit, one could obtain a large amount of gold, that currency had completely lost any value in Lucinda's eyes.The only exceptions in that group were Abel and Samuel from whom Lucinda obtained three space-rings.As for the cultivators recruited by the Royal family, their situations were poor.Mo
