Bloody Euphoria

A skill activated by the amount of blood in the vicinity. The more blood the user can smell, taste, or see, the more the user’s Health recovery will increase. Dealing damage and causing blood to flow will heal the user by 1% of their Vitality

Strong, but not as strong as the ogre.

“Shraaaaaaek!” The gnoll roared out before picking up a wagon and throwing it at us, all while the previously demotivated grimgarians regained their confidence upon hearing the gnoll’s warcry.

With vigorous “Niakash Baal’ak” and “Gliedda yuf vernohn blieck, Marsven” — or whatever my parallel minds tried to understand from their gibberish — they raised their weapons and reformed their formations. The troll shamans pounded their staves on the ground before pointing them at us, invoking two black magic circles.

“I got this! Sanctuary!” A barrier of iridescent light manifested around us as the wagon and four concentrated balls of dark mana crashed against it, exploding in the process as they left cracks where they hit.

Higher Intelligence, better spells. Good.

“We can’t stay defensive! One B rank gnoll, two C rank troll shamans, a platoon full of orc knights, a C rank hobgoblin mage, kobold tamers, and too many goblin and kobold fodder!” Renee quickly summarized her report after appraising everything with her appraisal ring. “Miss Tasianna, we need range support. That blue rat is priority number one! It’s speaking something in its Goddess-less language.”

Renee was right. That blue hobgoblin carrying Renee’s medallion was shouting something as she was buffering herself with spells. Either she was the commander of this group, or she was the tactician. Either way, she had to go down, but that was easier said than done with the giant B rank bodyguard in our way.

“Shraaaaaaaaaahk!” The gnoll roared again, spinning his flail above his head.

“C-Chiksu yuf shariyk!” The hobgoblin mage stumbled on her words, a speech impediment most goblins had which usually disappeared once they evolve into a hobgoblin. At least, that’s what I heard from some adventurers.

“Rajah, keep your eyes on the archers and mages. Fargryneill, Priestess Hestia, you’ll be our vanguard!” Renee kept ordering us around, but everything she said was quick and to the point with zero hesitation. “I’ll be the mid-guard, keeping the orcs and other things away from your fight! Aim for the gnoll and troll shamans, priority two and three, respectively. Everybody, create an opportunity for Miss Tasianna to take priority targets down! Understood?”

“Fight the big one, got it!” I nodded while Rajah slipped back into my shadow to await his moment to strike.

“I can freeze the rear, leave them to me. I’ll shoot when needed,” Tasianna turned her attention and cast [Fairy of Winter] for her ice wings and an aura of cold. Her large [Winter’s Golem] was also ready, towering over orcs in an intimidating fashion.

“Time to level up, ladies!” Neill said in the most bloodthirsty fashion possible, even licking her lips as her slit eyes locked onto the gnoll. I knew that expression very well — the look of a hunter who found her prey.

It also helped that she made that face when we went to the dungeon yesterday. Her draconic instinct had taken over. She was hungry for experience.

“We’re in a cave! Don’t go wild, Fargryneill!” Renee warned Sis, but I had an idea for that part.

I slumped onto the ground and laid my hand on it, invoking a brown magic circle to cast [Terra Wall] to solidify the ground and the walls of this tunnel. I would always appreciate my wind and earth spells for being extremely useful for supportive and utility reasons. Still, even if the place wouldn’t break down from an explosion, I probably shouldn’t use my fire attacks too much to drain all our oxygen.

“Wonderful! Your sister is once again a true gem, Fargryneill! You should have introduced me to her sooner!” Renee complimented me after my explanation before waving her flag around and planting it right into the ground. “Everybody, charge!”

Flag of Valiant Hearts

A wind blessing invoked by [Gem of Valiant Winds]. Increases Agility by 5% of the base stat

She can buff, too? Small Agility boost, but at least it’s something.

“Hey, head’s up, Hestia!” Neill kicked the ground, sending dragon paths towards the grimgarians standing before the barrier, before they ruptured forth as blue streams of lightning. “You mind supporting? Like during your match?”

Neill was probably pointing out my stunt in the battle royale, where I acted as the distraction and support for the main breaching crew for that castle. Well, even if Sis saw me more as a support than a frontliner, I couldn’t disagree. My support through my music and white flames was one of my best traits as an adventurer.

“Sure, break something like you did during your match. I’ll keep this place intact!” I replied as I blasted a few hobgoblin spearmen with [Sacred Smite] before playing my music again.

Full buffs, now! Halo of Consecration. ‘The Heir of Hope’ probably would work here, I hope.

“She was the ideal for me ♫

The bringer of children’s smiles ♫

Alas, the world seemed bleaker without her ♫

But all wounds must heal, we must force back the tears ♫

Her legacy remains for everybody to hear ♫

All these wounds will heal, mourning must end ♫

Our path is made clear through the loss of a friend ♫”

[Music Resonation (Major)] [Various Spell Buffs] [Shield of [The Light]] [Sanctified Blaze] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Nice!

[The Heir of Hope] was probably my strongest spell song, but it had the caveat that it wouldn’t work if there was neither an opponent of terrifying proportions and strengths around or none of my allies were scared or terrified. It had a pretty bad condition for everyday use, but not only did it give everybody a 10% increase in their stats but also other incredible bonuses like a self-regenerating shield and such.

I was afraid it wouldn’t work in the battle royale, as I wasn’t afraid or wary of the poison brothers, nor was my temporary alliance. Most likely the castle with its array of demonic weaponry was the trigger. Which meant, even inanimate objects or non-living foes counted towards the spell song’s condition.

I was worried the gnoll wasn’t much of an opponent with Neill around, but I guess my body still remembered how that B rank high ogre nearly killed me. I expected a fight with this guy.

And with all these preparations only gained by my [Sanctuary] buying us the necessary time, we were fully prepared the moment the trolls destroyed it with another blast of spells. As the barrier shattered like glass before dissipating into light, Renee and Tasianna began our counterattack.

With her catalyst glowing green, Renee wrapped her flamberge in a whirlwind and shot it out as a slash, blowing all echikobolds and hobgoblins in front of the gnoll away like leaves. Meanwhile, Tasianna’s snow golem began pounding its massive fist into the orc, preoccupying them while Tasianna buffeted anything in the opposite direction of Renee’s slash with [Torrential Rain] before blowing a cold breath to freeze them.

Bodies were building up on the floor, and shards of frozen flesh and bones were littered everywhere, making the ground as treacherous to traverse as the battle happening around Neill and me. The both of us couldn’t move just yet, as the shamans and mages of this group kept shooting spells, forcing us to rely on ranged attacks to keep at bay. I was admittedly a bit surprised that Neill knew [Inferno Magic], but at the same time, she was my sister.

Renee was sweeping through bodies like a whirlwind, only having to stop and slow down when she faced an orc or a tamed beast. The lumbering, armored gwunceroses and equerochsen required a more precise attack to kill. On the other hand, Tasianna spread fear. Chilly, icy death caused the cowardly hobgoblins and echikobolds to flee, pushing their comrades and interfering with the orc knight’s attacks.

“Grooouuugh!” The gnoll roared out as he watched his troops flee, or he was furious it was taking so long for them to defeat us. Regardless, he swung his flail down, crushing two goblins under him into a bloody mess, before launching his body forward in a stampede.

Neither his allies nor the tamed monsters could evade his rampage, as he was ignoring friendly fire to kill us. However, he was arrogant, if he thought he could fight us head-on like this. Two B ranks who out leveled him were right in front of us, and he was going head-on with us?

This proved none of them used an [Identify] on us.

Terra Wall! Terra Wall!

I constructed two walls of earth right in front of the gnoll, closing up the tunnel. However, I knew for a fact he would break through since I knew his profile. They were just there so I could humanize while allowing Neill to get in a sneak attack.

[Humanize (Minor)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

“Grruuuu!” The gnoll busted through them as if they were nothing, splintering stones and so on everywhere. The hole he left was large enough for the trolls and mages to look out from, but my wall also had the secondary function of blocking their range support. “Yoo— Grukkk!”

And without support, Neill could go wild.

With a devastating kick right into the gnoll’s jaw, the massive beast was flung right into the ground, barely in range of being blasted by my [Sanctified Blaze: Halo of Consecration]. Sure enough, all of this cleared up our way by a ton.

And since their giant gnoll was just kicked away, the trolls and mages behind my wall were naturally agitated. And the moment all of them moved in view of the hole the gnoll conveniently made, I struck.

[“Rajah!”]

“Grouh!” Rajah jumped out from the shadow of one of the troll shaman, cast by my flames, and climbed up the beast. Although the troll tried to throw him off, with one quick strike, Rajah landed a perfect claw attack on the troll’s eye, injecting the poison coated on them.

“Urwaaaaaaaahhh!” The troll stumbled back with a roar as Rajah dived into a shadow to escape. This cry of pain attracted the attention of the all the back-row crew, opening a window for me to throw my glaive at the second troll.

“Uwwuurgh!” My weapon lodged right into his chest, relaying the excruciating pain he was feeling with cry.

Dragoon Jump!

I left Neill to her own devices as she began her fisticuff match with the gnoll, and rocket boostered myself right onto the second troll. Grabbing my glaive, I performed a [Spark Crescent], slicing off his arm before using my searing hot tail to split his head in half. For some trolly reason, his Health didn’t drop to zero from all of that, so I had to finish him off with a fire bullet right into his face.

Okay, now—

“Taun—”

“Silence, orc!” With perfect timing, Renee created a small silence field around an orc’s mouth, preventing him from taunting either Neill or me. That could have been bad, even with my mental protection skills.

And it seemed Renee was keeping her support up whilst fending off the enemies in front of her. She stuck to her word with being our support.

Sweet. Now for the mages.

My head snapped around as I was floating in the air from the fire bullet’s recoil, locking onto all the mages and archers below me. WIth my ten parallel minds, ten white magic circles appeared around me. If this tunnel was larger, I probably could have blown everything up with my scale-dust, or assumed my dragon form, but my minor humanized form was enough for all of this, even almost equalizing the stats between the gnoll and me.

There was nothing to fear from these grimgarians.

And with that thought, ten [Banishment Beam]s shot out from my magic circles, instantly killing ten grimgarians before rotating around me like a disco ball. Suffice to say, nothing in my close vicinity survived that attack, and anything that did, was now running away. Even the troll, who probably would have died from the poison in his eye, was cut into pieces by all the lasers.

In a mage duel, the one who can cast spells faster would win. In a magical fight to the death, the one with more ingenuity and firepower would win. Master Kush’s lessons still remained in my head.

… But, that small moment to feel proud of myself quickly disappeared as Neill slung right through a section of my wall, landing a bit away from me while covered in her scales. Following that, the gnoll bust through the remaining section while brandishing its bloody flail.

Neill slammed the ground and jumped up, snarling out like an angered horse. “GrieeeeHiekeeeeerk! Killing all of them just heals the bastard up! Hey, all of you, stop making them bleed! Blast them with fire or ice, or something else! Just stop making everything in this damn room bleed!”

“I don’t have anything else but bleed damage!” Renee’s distant voice was barely audible from all the fighting. “Smash the head and it will bleed, too!”

[“I’ll think of something. However, can you stop the orcs from taunting me?”] Tasianna voiced her annoyance at the fact the trolls were using [Taunt] on her.

From the look of it, only one of Renee’s silence fields could be active at once, and as she was protecting Neill and me from being taunted, she and Tasianna received the full brunt of that annoying skill. Thankfully, my halo was healing them and dealing with them, as they were still within its area of effect, but I could see why this would be bad.

[“Renee, help Tasianna out. I have [Dread Burn] to deal with the gnoll’s healing! Create a silence field around you,”] I suggested.

[“That woul—”] Tasianna wanted to reply, probably since a silence field would mean disrupting my songs from reaching them. My plan would mean she and Renee had to deal with all the surrounding grimgarians without my buffs by themselves.

As strong as they were, a bunch of C rank grimgarians with proper training and equipment could overwhelm two lone B rank adventurers. It was normal to be afraid.

[“We don’t have time. Hraaaah!”] Neill shouted in our telepathic link before defending me from one of the gnoll’s attack before launching a counterattack. Neill’s kick to his shoulder sent him reeling, but only after a few seconds, he healed up the damage. [“Fire won’t work on him like a troll cuz of that [Bloody Euphoria]. This needs more power to overwhelm, and I can’t do that with taunting pests! Silence the field, and hang on for us!”]

[“… Yes! I apologize for showing weakness, My Princesses!”] Tasianna threw away her concerns, showing the confidence and bravery she had gained after traveling with me for nearly two years. [“I am Lady Hestia’s shield. Face the wrath of winter’s bite, grimgarians! Silence and make sure none of them escape, Dame Renee!”]

And without any delay, a barrier of wind surrounded the area behind the wall I made. Fleeing kobolds and goblins were let go, but any orcs were held back by Renee. She was acting like a bouncer, guarding the way forward. To make sure they wouldn’t get past her at all, I built a [Terra Wall] right behind her.

Now, we had to hurry.

“Yo, Sis, that form doesn’t look as cute. Change back,” Renee asked me out of nowhere.

[“Huh, wait, I ne—”]

“Either go full dragon, or stay cute, don’t half-ass it. Besides, you don’t need to move an inch right now. Leave it to your big sis~” Neill showed me a wide grin, showing her fangs. It looked like there was an eerie light in her eyes, a pressure strong enough to nearly make me submit.

She was using her [Draconic Aura].

[Humanize (Moderate)] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

“Good girl~” She closed her eyes and smiled to me, helping my instincts calm down. “Now…”

“Fools!” the hobgoblin mage shouted as Neill turned her head back to them. “Knokhut can still feel the bloodshed. Knokhut can still heal! You eliminated your chance for reinforcements!”

“Skraaaaaaaaaaaak!”

“Oh come on, why did I have to transform back?!” I shouted at Neill, now infuriated by her sense of recklessness. “My current stats are lower than that thing! Even if we fight together, why not do it in our minor forms to beat the ever-living hell out of it?!”

“No.”

“What?!”

“No need to.” She smiled in the face of the gnoll raising his flail at us. “Kramps told you I should teach you, right? I taught you how to find the gluttony inside you, now for lesson two… Watch. I will show you the true extent of a Kargryxmor’s [Battle Frenzy]!”

“You will become before presents for our King’s armor! Knokhut, kill!”

“Shrieeeek! Storm Slam!”

“Sorry, no-scales aren’t my type! Kriiark klish garfinik!”

And with those words, her mana surged from her body like a bomb.

“Kruuu?!” The gnoll’s flail was deflecting by the burst of mana, almost knocking the hobgoblin mage off his head.

“KruuuuuuuARRRRRRRRRRRRGH!”

“Urghhh!” I was blown away, only able to stop myself by using [Air Step] to stand in the air. The power emanating from Neill was far too strong, to the point the walls and cracking from the sheer pressure.

Bracelet!

Effects: [Music Resonation (Major)] [Shield of [The Light]] [Sanctified Blaze] [Flag of Valiant Hearts] [Humanized (Moderate)] [Battle Frenzy (Moderate)]

[Battle Frenzy (Moderate)]. Neill had [Battle Frenzy (Moderate)] on. Was she crazy? Was she trying to kill us all here, or what?! Anything above the minor stage was far too dangerous, to the point my senses would go completely berserk. I would lose control of my body as my natural instincts took over.

But, Neill? She just did that on purpose! She pulled the trigger of our blood and let the beast out willingly. With the amount of power she was blasting out, she could probably kill the gnoll but what about later? If goes berserker now, then I had to st—

“Huh?”

“Kriehiehie!”

The power around Neill suddenly weakened and began to turn black, wrapping itself around her like a veil in the form of flames. The purple tints in her scales and hair began to glow up before dimming, no, it was accurate to call the rest of her black scales and hair were brightening up, too.

But, the most noticeable changes from her usual appearance were her purple glowing eyes and her three horns pulsating with mana. After showing me a weird hand sign, her scaled gauntlets broke apart and returned back to her body, only for her hands to suddenly light up with hundreds, no, thousands, no, maybe even millions of blue lines.

“Dragon path!” With a clenched fist, Neill swung her fist out, hitting nothing but air. The gnoll looked at her, flabbergasted, but in an instant, his and my confusion disappeared.

“Kruuuugh?!” The gnoll was suddenly hit in its face and was flung up into the air.

“Kriehiehie!” Without a second to waste, dragon paths flowed from the ground and, somehow, into the air. Neill took them, sliding along them as if she was skating. And without hesitation, kicked the gnoll as he was flying into the ceiling!

She then snapped her fingers, creating dragon paths that moved right where the gnoll was lodged into, causing a massive explosion which sent him and the hobgoblin, who seemed to have had an [Auracoil] around her, down.

“Taste pure mana from a kirin, dog.” A mana ball from in between Neill’s hands, charging it up as it grew and grew in size. “Pulse Arcana: Maxima!”

And like the roar of a dragon, Neill unleashed the blast of pure, untainted mana forth. The blast beam caught the gnoll entirely, not even letting him scream or shout as he was completely swallowed up by the attack. With extreme prejudice, anything the beam touched was destroyed as it flew through the tunnel, dissipating into mana after a couple more seconds.

Mutation requirements acquired. [Level 30] of Job [Virulent Corrosion] was achieved. Mutation skills unlocked for acquisition. [Virulent Corrosion] have been added to the SP shop

There was nothing left of the gnoll. The wagons and everything else on the ground narrowly dodged getting hit by Neill’s attack, but looking at the clean erasure of the ceiling, now perfectly round, I couldn’t help but gulp. In the span of less than a minute, Neill erased any trace of that B rank.

Sure, it might have been weaker than the high ogre I faced, but that still didn’t account how freaking tough and probably experienced he was with his weapon. Outside, I could probably dive into the ground or blow him up, but inside a cave, I had to be careful. In the end, even without anybody’s help, I could have 100% dealt with the gnoll with the help of my flames’ [Dread Burn] nullifying all sorta healing.

However, not only did Neil beat this guy by herself, but she didn’t even do anything to counter it like my flame’s special property. She just went in and started blasting him. She overwhelmed him not with any tricks or cunning, or strategy, really. She destroyed everything in her way with unstoppable power in less than a minute, probably.

Kramp’s voice echoed in my head as a System message. I remembered when I released that mountain high fire blast when I entered [Battle Frenzy (Major)] to fight that demonkin. Neill’s attack might not have been the largest thing I’d seen — [Omnictus] or [Symphonie des Feuergottes] were larger and probably more destructive — but it honestly didn’t seem like she was giving it her all.

“Phew!” Neill flicked the hair strands blocking her eyes. She then shook her head before pulling her lion mane-like hair along her back. She then landed on the ground and walked over to me with a serious expression on her face. “This is moderate. There are two stages above it. There is also a skill designed for the power-up called [Battle Frenzy] once you break through all seven sins.”

“…” I stayed silent. Her display of power left an impression on me, just like Larent’s mana blade.

Pure mana can do this much, huh? Mhmm.

“It will be hard, but don’t rely on this power-up, alright?” I nodded to Neill’s lecture. “You need to make that raging power in your blood yours. Rear it in. However, don’t forget, [Battle Frenzy] alone didn’t make Kramps the ‘Black Tyrant of the Skies.’ Never rely on it, you hear? Don’t end up like some of our brothers.”

“Brothers?” I tilted my head. This was the first time anybody really mentioned my half-brothers, specifically.

“Mhmm.” Neill nodded. “Kahalameet and Nongramus. Our eldest and youngest half-brothers, respectively. Nice bros, really, but our biggest brother is doing anything he can to make sure our eldest sister, Wendriosa, doesn’t even get a chance to be the heir if father were to, miraculously, die. Nongramus, on the other hand, has an empress-mother who glorified Kramps’s achievements, to the point he wants to become the next ‘Black Tyrant of the Skies.’”

“Uhm, but what exactly does that have with not overusing [Battle Frenzy]?” I was still confused.

“Come on, it’s easy to see.” Neill looked annoyed as appearance started to return to normal, a sign she was disabling [Battle Frenzy]. She really was fully in control of it. “You don’t know how much I held back right there just to not cause the whole tunnel to break down.”

“…”

Yup, guessed that correctly. If she wasn’t, that fight with the gnoll would have lasted longer. She stomped on him as if he was an ant before her.

“You rely too much on this damn power and it can consume your judgement and self-growth. You will want to use it whenever, instead of trying to further develop your body through evolutions and skills. Those two are the strongest [Battle Frenzy] users amongst us siblings, but that is about it.” Neill let out a deep sigh. “Also, just take it as a tip. It’ll get pretty awkward when you start hitting brick walls in the process…”

“… Like how you’re stuck at the envy sin?”

“… Don’t be so cheeky, you little brat.” Neill turned around and let out a deep sigh.

Oops… that was the wrong thing to say.

“U-Uhm, Neill, sorry!” I tried to apologize but Sis only shook her hand in my face.

“Forget it. My problem, so don’t butt into it, okay? Also, don’t listen to that flattie, Renee, about my psychological state. Fire dragon accusing a magna dragon for burning a tree. She got her own issues with how she fakes that damn voice of hers, just to appear as a man inside that tin can.”

Wait, Renee’s deep voice isn’t authentic? Wait, why does that surprise me when she’s a Yeosian?

Neill looked irritated. She wasn’t happy with what I said, even if I didn’t mean it as an insult. “On our way back, we’re training. Everyday after the matches, we train. As your big sis, I have a responsibility to help you with your [Battle Frenzy], so tail up, you hear?”

“Yes, ma’am, yes!” I raised my tail up in a salute as if it was instinct, causing Neill to cringe. Did I do something wrong, again?

“Gahak! HELP!”

But before I could question her about it, we suddenly heard a man’s voice coming deeper into the tunnel. Did the grimgarians capture somebody?

I rushed over to the voice, prompting a reluctant Neill to follow behind me. In one of the wagons, a barrel was shaking violently, clearly repeating “HELP!” all the time. When I broke up the lock holding the lid close, a man suddenly sprang out from it.

“Bwuuuah! Hahaaahaaa! Arck! Ash!- BLARGH!” He suddenly spat on the floor, causing my sister and I to jump down from the wagon. “Guhaka! Guhak! T-Thank you! Ahahak! Dust! Wa-Ahak! Water?”

The man was coughing like mad, probably caused by all the dust residue falling from the ceiling. He probably breathed a load of it in through the small breathing hole on top of the lid. He was asking for water, but I couldn’t find any around. I also didn’t want to show him my [Storage Magic] so I had to shake my head.

“Goddess Wings! Gahak! Blegh!” So, instead, he forced himself to speak through all the dust on his tongue. “Blaine. Adven- blark-turer. Thank you for saving me. Bahaak!”

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
