"W-Who…?"
Azriel's body trembled in fear. He wanted to look around but couldn't do it since an unknown force was stopping him from moving.
He wasn't alone, the humans were the same, they couldn't move as well and were on their knees, some had even passed out since their bodies were unable to take the pressure.
'J-Just how strong is this person…?'
No matter how much he tried, the force binding his body was too strong, he couldn't move!
'Is he with these humans?' He thought of a possibility and couldn't help but gulp.
However, just as he thought about it, the immense pressure disappeared.
Yes, it disappeared like it was not here in the first place.
Azriel and the humans looked around with frowns on their faces. They could finally move now.
"You Bastard! DIE!!"
Seeing that Azriel was confused, one of the humans took the opportunity as he rushed toward him and beheaded him.
…or so he tried to.
However, Azriel stopped his attack middle finger and his thumb.
The human's eyes widened in horror, he couldn't believe that his attack was stopped so easily. This bastard wasn't even looking at him.
Suddenly, Azriel turned back and seeing the shine in his blood-red eyes, the human trembled.
"You Idiot."
Azriel called.
"Huh?"
"If you wanted to do a sneak attack; why were you shouting so loudly, you idiot?" Azriel questioned.
He was genuinely confused.
Not that him shouting or not shouting made would have made a difference but if you go by that logic, then this fight doesn't have any meaning either.
Azriel then shook his head, he stood up and slashed his sword.
*Clank*
"AAAGHHHHH!!"
The man screamed in agony as his arm was chopped off, the sword he was holding fell to the ground and a few seconds later, Azriel beheaded the man.
Why not behead him in the first move?
Well, Azriel did not like the big mole on the man's cheek.
Azriel then turned around, by this time, all the humans had stood up and had taken their battle stance.
The battle was about to continue again.
A wide smile appeared on Azriel's face as he rushed towards the humans and midway, he turned into blood mist and scattered.
Another round of human hunt started.
…
5 minutes later, Azriel was done killing all the humans, except one.
William Hardwick.
He was now on his knees, with one of his hands chopped off and a sword in his other hand.
"A Grand Master Cultivator? Doesn't seem like a big deal to me." Azriel commented.
"Y-You are a monster!" William commented.
"Heh. This is not the first time I have heard that." Azriel smiled.
"This won't be the last time either," William replied.
"Indeed. I will hear it a lot of times, especially after I kill other humans like I killed you guys." Azriel's smile distorted as he answered.
William felt shivers jolting down his spine when he saw Azriel's smile. However, even though he had lost, he wasn't willing to be on the shorter side in this conversation.
"You may have defeat-"
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You may have defeated me but you can't defeat this person, if you defeat this person, you can't defeat that person. Don't give me that crap.
Don't worry,"
Azriel walked towards William as he kicked the man.
"Ughhh!" William's body flew back and fell to the ground.
*Step*
"Ughh!"
Azriel then stepped on his face and smiled.
"I will kill every last one of you.
One by One."
William wanted to reply, however, Azriel stomped harder on his face and forced him to stop.
Azriel then stepped back and then placed his foot on his chin, forcing him to raise his head and look at him.
His blood-red eyes then shined as he questioned.
[Now, tell me, what is your name?]
William, however, didn't answer.
A small smile appeared on his face as he muttered,
"You will lose."
Saying that, he bit the poison pill that was hidden behind his teeth and committed suicide,
Or so he wanted to.
Azriel quickly noticed what he was about to do, although he wasn't able to save him, he could still kill him with his own hands.
He wouldn't let anyone steal his kill!
Else he wouldn't be able to level up.
*Pierce*
He then pierced his sword into his heart and then he beheaded his head just to make sure that the kill was his.
"I never thought he was determined enough to kill himself," Ithania muttered as she walked out of her hiding spot.
"I didn't expect it either…"
"I don't think your charm would have worked on him even if he didn't die." Ithania continued.
"Yes, it wouldn't work. Someone determined enough to die must have high will power, my Charm would have failed, however,
Someone else's Charm would have worked on him for sure."
Azriel then turned around and called,
"You can come out now, Teacher."
As he called, an extremely beautiful woman walked out of the woods, she had black hair, pale skin, luscious red lips, crimson red eyes, and a seductive body.
She wore her usual red gown and a small smile on her face.
"How did you know I was here?" the woman questioned with a curious look.
A small sigh of relief escaped out of Azriel's face.
"That scary pressure…
I am sure I would have died if I had faced the person responsible for it…
I did not know it was you…
But I hoped it was…"
"Well, your wish came true." Luminia's smile widened.
"So why are you here?" Azriel questioned.
Luminia then turned towards Ithania and answered,
"This girl used a call tablet."
Azriel glanced at Ithania and frowned.
"What? Don't look at me like that, I used it as soon as your 'Mist' was caught." Ithania answered.
Luminia nodded in agreement.
"You did a good job, no need to take any unnecessary risks. Also,"
Luminia praised Ithania and then, she turned towards Azriel and narrowed her eyes.
"What were you fighting a Grand Master Stage Cultivator for?"
"I… I failed to break through after devouring a Master Stage Cultivator… I didn't want to drink too much human blood, so I decided that I will hunt a Grand Master Stage Cultivator…"
"You failed to break through?" Luminia frowned.
"Yes."
Luminia's frown deepened,
"But you were able to break through from Apprentice to Beginner Stage after devouring an Advance Stage human, shouldn't you be able to break through after devouring Master Stage Cultivator?"
"I do not know why I failed," Azriel muttered.
"Well, whatever, as long as you are safe." Luminia nodded.
"Heh. Don't worry teacher. Grand Master Stage is nothing. It was quite easy, actually." Azriel smiled.
"Don't get cocky, Azriel," Luminia instructed in a strict tone. She then turned towards William and snorted in disgust.
"Don't use him to create a general perspective. He was a disappointment in the name of Grand Master Stage Cultivator. A real Grand Master is a lot stronger than him,"
"Alright teacher." Azriel nodded.
"N-No wait, are you going to ignore that he was able to reform his body even though a part of his Mist was captured? Don't you want to know how he did it?" Ithania questioned when it looked like Luminia and Azriel were done talking.
"Didn't I tell you not to use normal standards to judge this monster?"
Suddenly, Ithania heard a voice; she turned around and saw Lilia walking toward her.
"Teacher!" Ithania greeted.
"What monster! I am a perfectly normal man! My skill is just a little different than normal!" Azriel retorted.
"…"
"…"
"…"
Ithania, Lilia and even Luminia glanced at Azriel with a blank looks on their faces.
"So, what I was saying is, don't use normal standards on him. However, you did a great job in using the Call tablet. Just as Lady Luminia said, no need for unnecessary risks." Lilia muttered as she patted Ithania's head.
"Yes, his skills are different from normal, he can reform his body even if the Mist is not completely merged, of course, there are certain restrictions to that.
He won't be able to reform his body if more than 1/20th part of the Mist is captured." Luminia muttered.
She already knew how his Skill worked.
She was the one who trained him and found all the restrictions after all.
"A-Alright" Ithania nodded, enjoying her teacher's pats.
'A monster indeed… teacher is right, I shouldn't compare myself with him.
You are your best competition.'
Ithania thought inwardly and nodded to herself.
"…You are just going to ignore me…?" Azriel muttered.
Luminia then chuckled as she turned towards Azriel and patted his head as well.
"Alright Alright. You did a good job defeating these humans, are you happy now?"
"I do not want head pats," Azriel complained.
He wanted to move back, however, Luminia held him 'gently' and patted his head.
"Get strong to decide that, kid."
"Hmph! Alright, let me drink his blood now." Azriel muttered, he then glanced at Luminia with a big smile on his face while his blood-red eyes shined with desire.
"I am out of blood teacher.
So I will be needing your help."
