Life Is A Game : Rise Of The Bloodvolva

"-Lukas !!! "

(Shit, Marie !)

I jumped to the window, surrounded by salamander blood. My skill [Blood Rush] is still active and the world remains slow. I see that the car arrive almost in front of the house where I am. I land without effort and at the same time sense the house behind me crumble under the infernal gesticulations of the injured giant salamander. Inyasha has opened the rear door and stands to receive me: they want me to jump in!

(They thought they were in an action movie !? Well, no choice ...)

I jumped to the car after a quick calculation, and luckily my new skill is activated and that Inuyasha is there to catch me because I just almost ended up under the car more than anything else there. The salamander, however, is determined to have us and tries to catch my legs with his bleeding mouth. I then throw the blood of the little salamander into the eye of the monster who screams again, sending spatters of its blood everywhere. Inuyasha hoists me in the car while avoiding the blood that squirts near me, and Marie goes on the road without turning around ...

Finally, far from this infernal village, Marie stops. She is totally shaking while I can not even move because of the side effects of [Blood Rush]. The blood that I had recovered ended up in the window just before I faint because of the lack of mana. It takes both of us nearly ten minutes before we can move normally.

(Well for me it's just to be able to move my head and talk ... I can not even get up)

The side effects of this skill are ... as terrifying as if I had absorbed salamander blood like last time.

I am also disappointed despite the acquisition of this skill because I have not managed to recover a centilitre of blood of these saurians. It is an extremely powerful and useful skill but ... not what I expected for this trip. Worst ! We were almost killed there because of an elite!

When I was still recalling our little journey I Suddenly feel a violent pain on my shoulder. I know this pain, that excruciating burning sensation ... it's salamander's blood ! The blood of the giant salamander must have landed on the car and went through the roof when I stopped using [Blood Manipulation] when I did not have any more mana! It's only a drop though, but I already see my bone being corroded by monstrous blood. In the hope of saving my shoulder and even my arm, I use [Blood Absorption], then lose consciousness...

Eyes ... I am in the dark and see glowing eyes. They are much bigger than those of a human.

(Ah ... the salamander ...)

When I understand who they belong to, the scene changes dramatically and I see myself in the middle of a lava field in a cave ... with a feeling of belonging.

And then everything stops.

I open my eyes and see that I'm still in the car. Inuyasha is leaning over me, visibly worried.

"- Blóðvölva is awake! You are fine ?

- Mmh ... I think ... how long this time ?" I ask Marie who is there to wipe my forehead.

"- Not long, three minutes I would say. But you were shaking and your eyes fluttered as if you had a dream ... and your shoulder is fine surprisingly. "

I look at my shoulder at a glance and indeed it is like new.

(A dream huh ...)

I do not know what I have seen, in any case I am sure of nothing and can only make assumptions.

My companions then see me trying to get up but prevents me. I reassure them because I still feel in shape, and my Hp confirms my words: they are almost fully back.

(A single drop of this creature's blood gave me a skill and healed me ... what would happen if I consume everything?)

I ask myself this question and for the moment can only imagine the results salivating. Yes yes, salivating ...

After returning from the land of dreams, (in any case I present it to my companions like that), I decide to go home.

I lost a rifle but I won two skills that are attack oriented. I think it was a good day! We did not leave very long and Marie and Inuyasha could not really increase level but ...

(Oh, but they've gained levels, Marie won 6 and Inuyasha 2, it goes up to 10 and 18 respectively ... it's a rich day finally)

The discovery of their level gain is the cherry on top of the cake that this day is, I am more than satisfied with our earnings and do not even see the return trip pass (admittedly it is not long, but a moment of inattention is dangerous here ...)

We hide the car (it's my mother, mine is ruined) a little further away from the property to avoid being surprised by patrols of monsters or humans as we enter the property, and thus revealing our positions ...

We go to the wall of the house taking care to observe each time everywhere to make sure nothing is in the area, but when we lift Inuyasha over the wall, our trios suddenly hear a loud noise from far.

We look at each other and quickly enter the garden, without even paying attention if there was danger or not. We drive into the house through the back door and are greeted by a rifle, a bow, two crossbows and a mana sphere. I jump back but I realize in the air that this is my group who hold the weapons pointed at us.

Luckily Inukami and Inuyama felt us ahead and had warned my family otherwise I would have taken a flurry of bullet / arrows / magic before landing on the ground. I'm glad to see that my family is on the lookout anyway.

My trio enters the house where we can finally relax. Marie stretches out on the couch, and is quickly joined by Inuyasha. The redhead does not react to his presence.

(Ah ... is she starting to get used to them ?)

I tell the boring part of our trip, while eating because I'm hungry as rarely I have been. I swallow brioches, brownies, fruits etc ... without stopping until I arrive at our exciting party. When I finally tell them what happened with the giant salamander, I do not have the remonstrance or "you were imprudent" or "you could have died" ...

No. I only have exclamations at the most intense moments and at the end ... my grandfather even puts his hand on my shoulder, my mother and my sister cuddle me and the two Inus who remained here are congratulating Inyasha, Marie and me.

I am very surprised and ask what is happening.

My grandfather and my mother look at each other and she then smiles at me:

"- I understood that anyway, as soon as you left this house you would face the danger. I have to start accepting our "new reality" as you say. I can not be the protective mother anymore. I have to change ... you told me so and repeated it multiple time... so, I will be here waiting for your return, ready to heal and support you the best I can. It's your grandfather who talked to me a lot and made me understand that, much better than you and your awful manners! "

I smile, a little embarrassed by her criticism, but deep down I am extremely happy, if she starts to get used to it, then it will be already a victory for her and me.
