The whole mountain starts to tremble, soon a beast awakes from under it. The beast has huge green eyes, a lizard like head and a turtle like body covered in huge, rough rock scales, with trees growing on top. As the beast’s tail moves out of its place, a creek is created.
“What do you want [Bloodline Thief]” The beast speaks. The beast’s sound is deep and surprisingly quiet, but it is still intimidating and filled with concentrated /Life/ [Ewa]. The [Blood Thief] in front of it, is a handsome looking, middle age man, with long grey hair and a pair of ruby red eyes. He is dressed in a white band jacket with golden edges, on his belt is a fancy looking dagger and a pair thin long swords.
“Waiting.”
With a sudden explosion, a woman lands, she is covered from head to toe like a mummy with sheets of old yellow fabrics. “Lady Monica, [Guardian] of the {Blood Tomb}” the [Blood Thief] mutters. Bitting his lips.
{1st Blood Tomb} is the most sacred place in the land of {Cuood}. It is the place where all the dead bodies of the [Pre-Legend] tier [Blood Warriors] from all races are stored in. The bodies of [Pre-Legend] tier [Blood Warriors] contain immeasurable amount of [Ewa] inside their veins, therefore are extremely valuable and dangerous both dead and alive. In order to make sure those dead bodies are not being misused for unsuitable purposes and create conflicts between races. {1st Blood Tomb} is created and [Guardians] are being trained in the {Blood Tomb}, from the orphans gathered across {Cuood}. The training is extremely cruel and most of the orphans dies before they turn 18 and those who are alive are rid of all emotions and turned into a perfect weapon for killing and protecting the tomb.
If there is one party the [Blood Thief] that do not wish to mass with, the [Blood Tomb] and its [Guardians] is definitely the one.
“Shall we begin.” Lady Monica says. Her voice is emotionless and almost feels mechanical.
“Yes.”
“How could you start without me, that’s a bit rude.” with that phrase, the ground of the nearby areas begins to vibrate, but not like an earth quake. The vibration comes from the particles and molecules of the matter itself. Soon black clouds also gather in the sky, spiralling into the pattern of snail’s shell, claps of thunder can also be heard from time to time, along with some occasional lightning sparks in the cloud. All the suddenly the day turns darker then the night itself. Time and space around the area are cracks. [Ewa] residents in the area also materialises into their physical state. Hovering in the air in the form of a rainbow coloured fog. Out of nowhere the white image that talked with Erhart seven years ago appears sitting on top of the turtle like beast’s head.
“You, ou, ou , ou arrrreee…” The [Blood Thief] asks, his voice is shaking and his whole-body trembling as he witnessed the area’s time and space collapsing caused by the single appearance of someone, there is no doubt about it, the white image he sees before him is the man that ended the great War. The only [Legend] tier [Blood Warrior] in the {Cuood}’s history.
“Hello, I am Arnold Drakia, also you may call me “the man” (refer to chapter 0). How rude of you, after giving me an invitation, yet still tries to start the meeting without me “
The turtle like beast, [Bloodline Thief] and the [Guardian] are all of the sudden becomes speechless. The man that ended the great War. The legend in all of the child’s bedtime story. The warrior mimicked by all teens in {Cuood}. The perfect standard for a husband, wished for by all maidens across the land. He is not just one of those [Human] [Hero]. He is the true hero of {Cuood} and he Is standing right in front of them, maybe it is just a projection of him. But it is more than enough for those three to be stunned for a few minutes.
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
“Hmmm, hello? Is anyone still here.” The Arnold’s image asks jokingly.
“Oh!! Oh YES, Sorry, sir.” The [Bloodline Thief] recovers first from his shock and replies in a hurry.
“So shall we begin?”
“Of cause.”
The [Bloodline Thief] clears his throat and says, “We are facing a crisis! A complication that all Ten.. Nine Great Races will be facing soon enough, the [Blood Drainers] are coming. According to my spies’ most recent report, [Blood Drainers] have doubled their armies’ numbers in just three years. And will be able to rival us in about ten years or so, by us I mean the whole [Nine Blood Alliances], the whole combination of all Nine Great Race’s elite along with special officers sent to join from minor races and ancient races.”
“What are these [Blood Drainers]? If I was you, I have dealt with them a long time ago, GOD! You [Bloodline Thief] are just thief aren’t you. You are no warrior!” the beast shouts arrogantly.
“He~ He~! Emperor Twava of [Beasts], excuse my rudeness but first, you will not to be able to fighting those [Blood Drainers], neither will you be any good against them. [Blood Drainers] are not like us Great Races or any of the other races. They do not need [Bloodline Awakening], so even their children when necessary can be sent onto the battle field. And unlike us, in which gains ability from training and awakening. They can gain OUR abilities by drinking the blood of those who died fighting them. Some We [Nine Blood Alliances] will not fight them or lose asingle man pointlessly unless necessary. And according to my spies, these [Blood Drainers] can also take abilities off [Beasts] as well! THE [Jade scale] ability that you beasts are so proud of, is already taken by one of the leader of the [Blood Drainers] army!” the [Bloodline Thief] replies coldly.
“We can grant our soldiers a self-destruct abilities or inject poison into their veins before battle.” The [Guardian] speaks such heartless words in a light and almost normal tone.
The [Blood Thief] sighs and closes his eyes, after a second or so he says,” When the time comes, if that is the only thing we can do, then so be it. But I do not want to see our warriors forced to do that. If those [Blood Drainers] are just another peaceful new race. We have no need to conflict with them.”
“That’s not possible.” Arnold, the white image finally talks. He shakes his head and adds on,” And [Blood Drainers] are not new at all. Before I come back to stop the war. I was fighting them alongside of some [Human] [Heroes] near the border of the former [Human] Kingdom. But back then they are easily dealt with, as they are not united and often conflict with one and another. The ability to steal our [Blood Awakening Abilities] is called [Looting] and this ability is far from what makes them truly scary. They can also use [Hunt], an ability that track a person by just tasting their blood and [Blood Control], an ability that controls a person’s blood within range, in which can cause blood to clot as well as many other blood related problem, in which ultimately kills the person even if the person is in the [Pre-Legend] tier. They are our natural enemies.”
“What is Blood clotting?” The [Guardian] asks.
“That’s not important.” Arnold replies, “Due to one of the rules in the Realm of Legend. I cannot help the Ten Great Races directly, but don’t be fearful, there will be three children born into {Cuood} possessing the [Perfect Blood]. They superior knowledges, that hopefully will allow us to survive this disaster.”
“Hmm, by any chance is Alinakin’s apprentice one of them? Or nah?”
“what?!” Arnold after hearing a foreign voice, he turns back and sees a young man in black cloak, with long jet black hair that covers his eyes standing behind him.
“Who are you? Where did you come from?” [The Bloodline Thief] Shouts, he is absolutely sure seconds ago there isn’t a man there. Despite not sensing any danger and immense power coming from the black haired young man like he first did when Arnold first enters. He cannot allow himself to believe just a normal, from the looks of it, [Human]. No [Human] can just appear out of no where without anyone of them detecting him.
“Me? Oh, you know, Just A Wizard Passing By.”
