《The Aria Chronicles》Blood Burn IV

CLANG!
Our weapons clashed so loudly, and as they did, I felt an immense force coming toward me with a bloody energy. It came from my Saber and touched my body where it clashed with Mystic Layer before breaching it a little and coming into my body which shocked.
I shook a little as I came in contact with the force, I felt like something big had hit my body and bloody energy. That bloody energy entered my body and started going after my cells but soon the force and bloody energy found out they could not do anything to my cells.
Most of the energy than came at me was minced by the layer of Mystic that is covering me, and little of that had entered inside me poses no danger to me despise it being very threatening as the quantity of it is too small to harm me.
My body is very strong; it is comparable to the Viscount Vampire blood I had fought yesterday and slightly weaker than this Orc Blood I am fighting now.
So even if it had hit me with the full blast of its attack, I would have been injured somewhat by it and would have to take a step back at most.
“Bitch, that was just a trailer, this will be a complete picture; lets see how long you last under it.” It said blood fog on its ax has become denser, and it started to give off more threatening feelings than before as it came at me.
It seemed to forget that it had to keep me alive completely. Well I would have forgotten if someone level lower than me started to suppress me, I would have definitely lost my mind like it.
Seeing its powerful, I swung my Saber with all my strength, seeing such a powerful attack coming toward me, I did not dare to hold back on anything. As holding back anything under such an attack but would be serving oneself on a silver platter to the enemy.

So I did not hold back on anything, I attacked and attacked with full power, and soon my slow looking Saber reached the Bloody Axe.
CLANG
The clash was powerful, so powerful that it shook my body and nearly forced me to take a step back, the bloody energy that had energy inside me started to get on a rampage, but all it was able to do is injure them slightly before they began to heal on their own again.
I had barely stabilized myself when I sensed another attack was coming; without hesitation, I moved my Saber to counter against that Bloody Ax.
CLANG CLANG CLANG…
The intense clash between my Saber in Axe started, we were moving so fast that one could only see the bloody glow and not it ax while on my part my Saber has slowed down even slower than even a child could watch it would without a problem.
Despite its slow speed, it was able to clash against every move of the Orc Blood, but it is not enough. With every move, the power of its Axe went higher and higher and it had become getting harder and harder to counter its ax perfectly.
Now not only am I taking a step back with every attack of it, but I am getting injured by the bloody energy that is coming inside me with each clash.
First, it was not any problem, but now the quantity of the bloody energy is getting greater and greater, I fear that it will soon become capable of seriously injuring me.
It would have already become capable of doing that if not for me using my blood energy counter against it. My colorless blood energy with tiny moondust in it is stopping the Bloody energy from seriously injuring me.
Though my energy is quite weaker than the Bloody Energy, it is quite tenacious especially that tiny moondust present inside, with the help of it I was able to hold back the blood energy till now but I don’t think, I will able to do that for much longer as it had started to grow stronger than I my energy barely able to resist against it.

The clashed continued, and I was getting more and more suppressed, and this fucking Orc is not giving me a single chance to attack. Its attacks were like bullets of a machine gun that came one after another.
Fuck! I cursed inside my mind as I saw the cover of my blood energy, which confining the Bloody Energy blasted apart by Bloody energy, and it started to move toward my cells like a blood demon with huge jaws.
Buzz!
Suddenly I heard the faint buzz inside me and next moment, the small swirl appeared above the Bloody Energy, and next second all the bloody energy was sucked apart by that swirl, I was so shocked by it and that I was barely able to react to the ax of Orc Blood that was coming hacking toward me.
But as I shock disappeared, a smile came over my face as I knew where this swirl came from.
It is from my bloodline ability, it sucks up the bloodline energy and to confirm that I even sent a strand of my consciousness into my heart space and found it was true.
Seeing that a small smile couldn't help but appear on my face before a daring Idea came to my mind and without hesitation I acted on it.
I started blocking the raw energy; I even opened the gap in my Mystic cover for Bloody Energy to get inside.
It is a very dangerous idea, but I still did it and tens of clashes later; when bloody energy inside became a threat, it got sucked by my bloodline ability, which couldn’t help but make me happy.
“You still have time to smile; let's see if you smile when I butchered you.” Said Orc Blood as he covered its Saber with more bloody fumes, which made its attacks even more powerful, but this time I did not dread them but instead invited them.
I kept letting the bloody energy inside me, and sometime later that was not enough for, I started to suck it on my own from its Saber, as I began to do that loads of Bloody energy started entering my body before getting by swirls.
I continued doing that for a few minutes when I noticed that Orc was getting weaker, seeing that let loose all the restraints that were holding me back and sucked the energy unscrupulously.
The Orc Blood was happy seeing that at first as it thought, I was gone mad as more bloody energy inside me more injured I would become, but soon it noticed something is wrong, but that time it was already later for it as I had already sucked one-fourth of the bloody energy it had.
“What did you do with my blood energy?” It asked an emotion of fear is apparent in his voice. I did not answer his question instead of getting attacked, it is finally time to launch the counter-attack.
In the clash, I was being suppressed, but I was also learning very speedily, but I did not use that understanding I learned, I kept accumulating as I wanted to collect enough that I could directly start to suppress it when I fight with my newfound understanding.
CLANG CLANG CLANG… Slice
It is, it's time to get suppressed; I launched attack after attack, and this it started defending while taking a step back repeatedly. I continued to intense attacks when I finally, I was able to injure it.
“Hehehe:”
Seeing that a bright smile couldn't help but appear on my face as now that I was able to injure it, it won’t be long before I could kill it.

8 247Summoner's Journey
[Before you read - the story is officially dead. The reasons behind it are posted in the last chapter.] In a magic world on the verge of an industrial revolution, Ari Ragnarsson must uncover the truth behind his parents' disappearance. They were part of an organization known as the Order, which protects mankind from various threats - both human and supernatural. Now, after Ari's brands finally manifest, he leaves the safety of his village and travels to the continent. Strength is all that matters in this world and he must learn how to control his powers. There, he meets a man from another world, who's being hunted for merely existing. Their fates become intertwined, but not in a way either of them would appreciate. Author's note (contains minor non-story related spoilers about the MC and setting) This is a progression fantasy with LITRPG elements sprinkled on top. The main character is not a spellsword, but a summoner/support mage hybrid. Since he wasn't ambushed by a random god, there's no cheat item/spell and he has to rely on his skills and wits to survive in a world full of monsters. The story tries to show the moment when the old starts to be replaced by the new, with a healthy dose of magic and a little steampunk in the background. Also, it revolves around a party dynamic akin to RPG sessions. No health/mana bars. Numbers are secondary and the LITRPG elements focus more on classes/spells/runes and their evolutions. Tables are sparse at the beginning, but from chapter 7 onwards they appear more often. Still, I won't be copy-pasting the whole character sheet dozens of times per chapter.
