Life Is A Game : Rise Of The Bloodvolva

"- Giii ..."

Suddenly I hear a sound that hurts my ears ... the kobolds and I turn to the forest ... and we see a troop of goblin.

"- What ... how did they come in?" I say, incredulous.

I then catch the neck of one of the men:

"-How did you enter my property ?"

He trembles from head to toe without understanding, so I shake him a little ...

"- HOW ?!

- A ladder ! We installed a ladder on one of the walls in the forest!

- And you left it there right ! Now look !"

And I throw him on the ground, towards the goblins who are starting to approach. He gets up with difficulty since he's tied up and when he sees the little green monsters coming towards him he starts screaming. The others finally see why the kobolds growl and why I ttrhew their comrade, thus they start to panic and tried to back down.But, like the other, this action is difficult because they are attached.

"- Mom, Marie, in the house ! Close everything ! Protect Alyssa and my cat ! Inukami, Inuyasha, Inuyama! Protect my grandfather! And you Grandpa, shoot them down!"

Once my orders are shouted, everyone gets in position : the Inu put themselves in front of my grandfather, leaving him enough space for him to shoot, my mother and the redhead run in the house and the other eleven screams and begs to be untied. But I have neither the d.e.s.i.r.e nor the time to take care of them, there are more and more goblins who appear from the forest what really worries me is that ... They know where I live! They will attack even faster now !

(Or they are just scouts who have just followed a band of stupid human ... in any case I must kill them ... all! )

My grandfather is aiming at the leading goblins and sends out the three mana spheres he summoned before. The targeted goblin is unfortunately not touched but the one next to it is. And there is something amazing that is produce then : the big sphere explodes, killing the goblin, and the two other spheres then leave on the sides and touch two other goblins, wounding them. I then realize that just like my blood magic, my grandfather's magic is much more flexible than I thought and can be used in amazing ways! My grandfather also notices it and then starts to produce lots of small projectiles that he starts to throw a little randomly on the goblins. The damage is less important but all those on the front line end up wounded quickly instead of killing one or two. I smile as I see him adapt like that, and I activate [Blood Manipulation] and throw myself at them. The skill is increased when the king's aura is activated, automatically drawing the blood to me, bleeding them even more. My sword begins to dance, cutting limbs and heads, increasing the blood flying around me even more. However the more there is the quicker my mana decreases... I then start to absorb it directly. The cycle is repeated as follows: the blood gushes, it floats around me and begins to be absorbed by my skin, making my Hp, mana and endurance goig up. I realize that my class is made for mass combat, the more enemies I have around me, the more I hurt them, the more I can fight and strengthen myself. The Blóðvölva really had to be a terrifying clan when they appeared on the battlefield ... they are not just a kind of vampire, they are warriors born for war and carnage ...

I feel myself bubbling, my thoughts are becoming more and more simple even to the point of disappearing. I'm fighting, that's all. Around me, I only see green and sometimes a blue flash. Suddenly I scatter the blood around me and activate [Blood Implosion]. Almost all my mana disappears suddenly, making a black curtain fall before my eyes. I throw myself back and then see all the goblins touched by the blood deforming by folding on themselves and implode.

"- Blóðvölva! "

Inukami rushes on me to help me, he hold me up and offers me his blood and a slaughtered goblin . I completely absorb the goblin and some of Inukami's blood. Why also from Inukami? I do not really know why but the blood of the goblin does not satisfy me ... I have already absorbed so much, it does not interest me anymore I think, while that of Inukami is ... more powerful. More ... "tasty".

I know that I change more and more but here I do not care. I look around and see where we are:

The goblins are either dead or dying, my grandfather is out of breath and is supported by Inuyasha while holding his skull, and there are only four of the eleven people who attacked us. The rest is spread among the corpses of goblins.

"-Inukami, bring me among the goblins. Kill those who still move and release me a place in the middle. I will empty them "

The kobold runs immediately and clears me a place. I put myself in a meditative position, the mind still foggy, and slowly activates [Blood Manipulation] while absorbing a little and meditating. Little by little I feel myself leaving, my mind drifts but my skills remain active, the blood that covers the grass of my garden is slowly attracted to me. During the fight I had many blue panels that appeared but I ignored them, just like those appearing now. I do not know how long I stay without moving, making the blood around me float. When finally I open my eyes, I see that the bodies around me are totally desiccated and shriveled, and the blood has formed a ball big enough above me. It's a strange mixture of green and red, a little as if the green was slowly turning to dark red. I must admit that once out of meditation I have no d.e.s.i.r.e to absorb the blood there, the goblin blood does not attract me in the least. So I'm going to look for an object that my mother found in a flea market: a barrel, to leave the blood inside.

(Of course I do not want to absorb it but it is nonetheless useful ...)

Inukami and Inuyama go out into the forest to check where the goblins have come in and see if there are any more lurking around. My grandfather is gone, as well as the four survivors. In fact I was alone with the Inu, so I guess my meditation lasted a while. I get up, invigorated, and stretch a little, cracking my bones noisily. Finally I start with Inuyasha the appetizing task of clearing dried corpses. There are many and most of them are in pieces, it takes me a moment to take them to the forest and get rid of it in the wild, but hey I do not really have time to "tidy" properly. Inukami and Inuyama finally come back carrying not one but two ladders.

(This was used by the goblins and humans to come into my home and had to be used to get out, I just hope the one to get out was not used by anybody...)

I sigh and then we go back home ...
