《The Demon Child - Awakening》Chapter 18 - Blood

Advertisement

I was surprised at what I saw; the clear flat ground was now a red lake. Rubbing my head, I remembered being swallowed by a red lake, which was probably that. I turned my head back to Lucyfer so I could ask her some questions.

"I've never seen a reaction like that," She grunted.

"Uuh, what happened?" I coughed.

"Your test ended up destroying the entire field,"

"Is that normal?"

"Definitely not, you only have a one in a hundred thousand chance of getting a reaction like this…,"

"So what will happen to me?"

"Krayme will decide what to do with you,"

"Indeed I willlllllll," Krayme said with a creepy voice outside.

Kraymes head then appeared inside the tent, although it seemed like he just entered since he was the farthest away from us. Lucyfer got up in front of me and created flames with laid in her open hands.

"Back off Drayme, let Krayme take over again," Lucyfer yelled at him.

"Drayme?" I asked Lucyfer.

"He's the snake-like version of Krayme. His soul ability is that he has three souls, each with a different personality. Krayme is the original and the soul of reasoning, Drayme is the soul of despair, and the one you haven't met, Sayme, is the soul of harmony,"

"Thanks for the information, but why are you so worried about Drayme?"

"He has the habit of stealing other peoples sources, right down till they die, I've seen it, his victims look like a mummy,"

"Indeed I willll try to take his source for my own," Drayme sighed.

Lucyfer took a deep breath in as her aura dropped massively. She put her index and middle finger underneath her lip and breathed out a massive wave of flame. The fire engulfed Krayme and burnt the tent, spreading to the outside as well. After a minute, Lucyfer stopped and looked at the charred ground she had made, with a burnt Drayme carcass lying in the middle, still alight.

"You idiot! Didn't you say that he was your leader!" I yelled at Lucyfer.

"Wait for it..." Lucyfer said with a harsh tone.

After Draymes body stopped burning, a hand appeared out of his charred mouth. The hand pushed out another until a pale and naked Drayme had appeared. As the perfectly fine Drayme was finally out of the Crisped one's throat, he covered himself in a fire which gave him the same clothes he was wearing moments ago.

I was staring in disbelief as I turned to Lucyfer and asked her.

"What just happened?" I questioned Lucyfer.

"I just forced one of his other souls to take control of his body, and since he covered himself in his fire, I would say Krayme is now in control.,"

"But how did he survive that fire?"

"His demon ability is that he can shed like a snake, negating all physical damage. Although this does not make him immortal, it allows for us to intervene when Drayme takes over,"

"So Krayme is in control?"

"Most likely,"

Krayme then started to walk towards us, and I already noticed he was walking like usual again. He stopped about one metre in front of Lucyfer and me. I could see his eye colour had turned back to a pale white, which was like Kraymes.

"So sorry about that Dyestral, hopefully, Drayme doesn't come out again before the end of the introduction," Krayme said in an apologetic tone.

"What Introductions?" I asked, "Since when?"

"Since you got here, now all I have to do is tell you your demon ability, then give you a demon identity, now let's see here,"

Krayme took a black book from his pocket, about the size and width of a diary. He started flicking through the pages and finally settled on one page. As his eyes went further down the page, he began to shiver.

"O-oh my," Krayme stuttered.

"What is it?" I questioned Krayme.

"Your demon ability is ancient, thought to be extinct,"

"Don't tell me that blood ice is that scarce,"

"No, it's not blood ice, that was just the surface of your ability,"

"Then what is it,"

"Y-you have the blood sacrifice demon ability,"

I turned towards Lucyfer, seeing that she was also beginning to shiver herself.

"Why is that special,"

"Only high ranking vampires since birth had this ability thousands of years ago, but you have no vampiric traits, the only thing close to a vampire is that you're near Jododam for some time,"

"So what does blood sacrifice do?"

"It is what it sounds like; you can sacrifice your or others blood to do something, if you sacrifice enough, what you wanted to do will come true, like a wish,"

"So if I sacrifice enough blood, the... "Wish" I wanted will come true?"

"Correct, an example would be increasing your strength for some time,"

"That is quite strong, and I only knew I was a demon until a few months ago,"

"That's why we'll put you into a group which will be average,"

"And what group would that be?"

"The Dark Grimoires Junior elemental five, you will be their new source of water, your source of ice is as close as we can get, as your the only demon with one here,"

Lucyfer immediately stomped her foot into the ground. I looked at the impact to notice that the land around it has turned to a red hot mess. Instinctively, I cooled around the surrounding area, battling the heat Lucyfer was emitting.

"I will not work with a beginner like Dyestral!" She yelled. "He got lucky to get ranked as a level one demon, and I had to claw my way up there from a ghoul with a mother! He'll just slow us down on missions because he is weak. Even a rank five ghoul could beat him!" Her outburst had left her breathless and fuming with anger as she stared at Krayme.

"I'll put him under extensive training, after that, he'll be able to keep up with you on missions,"

Lucyfer turned her head away, "Understood, but he'll never be like kappa, now please excuse us."

Lucyfer grabbed me by the neck and dragged me towards another small tent; this time, the colour was black. Inside were Xirax, Astar, and Abaston lounging around on some cushions surrounding a low black table. They all looked up as Lucyfer hauled me inside and abruptly let go. For a moment, we were all just staring at one another.

"Listen up, Dyestral here is now our water source, and he's now part of our team, say hi Dyestral," Lucyfer grunted.

"Greetings, I am Dyestral Copper, I will now be joining your team from this day forward," I said as calmly as I could manage.

"Tch, what's so special about him, he's probably weaker than all of us," Astar quickly said to me in an angered tone.

"Well, I am a first rank demon, and why do I have to be special? Is there a rule?"

Everyone in the tent gaped in awe. It seems that being a higher rank than Lucyfer also meant more respect. As their shock subsided, Lucyfer then started to speak.

"Each one of us has something irregular, for example, I am a succubus, but don't possess the related powers. Abatson can split into two mud clones even though it's not his soul or demon ability, but something that is in his bloodline. Xirax is a harpy but has her wings on her back instead of on her arms. Astaroth's demon ability was long lost and was only known by very few demons'. So again, what's your irregularity?" Lucyfer told me.

It was clear that I would need to make a point of fitting in, but I did not want to give too much away. After a short pause, I said:

"I also have an extremely rare demon ability of blood release… and I am an only half-demon,"
