Chapter 8-What is the Ghoul?? Journey to the Grave...18++

Old site with old formatting is back so here’s the chapter I took down. Chapter 9 will be later tonight. New site gave me a ton of new readers with the “rising star” thing so i’ll miss ya buddy.

Sorry to the few readers who managed to read this chapter already(ya fast bastards it was up for like 2-3 minutes) before I took it down.

Authors Note: Authors Note: Will be in POV so thoughts are just text, Skills are in Italics, and Character: “” will represent dialogue, Character: ‘will represent thought transmission, cultivators are special creatures that require two types of dialogues’. ->Character B.

**The Ghoul POV**

If there's no Character: “it just means the person who just spoke is speaking”

“Just in case that was confuddling”

“You could see it as the Ghoul who’s POV it currently is, but it's not”

4-5,000 Words seems to be the standard chapter length I’ll be going for, so chapters will pretty much always be the same length.

Thanks for reading this far and comments are as always will be responded to/appreciated.

**Sandro POV**

While the Ghoul is resting off the aftereffects from the poison I’ve taken her ring and decided to look through the martial skills she grabbed. Hopefully Reliea and me will find something even remotely useful from that school. Not that I’d ever learn one of these complicated things, why fight with some technique when I can just create Evil Qi Constructs and have my undead fight for me. 1 Spear technique can’t really compete with 10 spears….at least I’d assume….fucking cultivators you never know.

Though I have been working on something similar to a rocket. I create a hollow spear with several compartments of compressed Evil Qi,making sure the point of spear can take the blast, setting off a chain reaction creating a super sonic Spear!, or at least that’s how I think it’ll work if I wasn’t too afraid of blowing myself up again to try it out.

Looking through I find a technique book that doesn’t seem to have been opened in years judging by the cloud of dust that smacked into my face…

Sandro: “*cough* fucking dirty cultivators *cough* what the point of having *cough* disciples if they don’t*cough* clean properly*cough*”

Hmm?? Fall..of Nemean?

After reading through some basics…

OOOOO, this’ll be perfect for that lovely masochist.

Sandro: “Oi maso.. Reliea check out this one, it’ll be perfect for you.”

After reading it for some time…

Reliea: “master what kind of woman do you think I am!, to think I would want someone other than you to punish me.”

She stormed off pretty mad...huh...her ass got nicer recently is it from all the training with the Ghoul? But she’s also undead so i don't know….Of course the Ghoul still wins in that regard, it's not a fair competition, how can it be, I could recognize the Ghoul in a crowd just from that rounded ass. There's also the silver hair but that's just extra identifier.

I guess I’ll leave this one for the Ghoul, both have a good enough healing factor for it anyways, and the Ghoul’s has always been higher. Speaking of the Ghoul what's with the Venomous Ghoul title? Should I find a poison for Reliea? I have no idea if it’ll react the same way though, plus even if she’s like she is no one could enjoy that. I could start with something lighter, that would only kill a mortal at best and see the effects…

I keep getting very small amounts of exp from Reliea at the moment, looks like she’s letting out some steam on some poor animals…

Quest :Natural Evolutions are pure luck and often just follow similar conditions to rituals. In order to evolve the Ghoul from the Flesh Realm to the Devouring Realm the Ghoul must become the essence of Devour.

Objective 1: The Ghoul must devour 100 hearts of Profound cultivators, level is irrelevant(completed)

Objective 2: The Ghoul must devour 1 heart of a Spirit Realm Cultivator, level is irrelevant

Results Unpredictable.

The Results Unpredictable is disconcerting, but the Ghoul already isn’t under the same loyalty to me as Reliea is, well I’m not even sure with Reliea after that cave incident but I’m sure enough otherwise to trust her in any case.

The Ghoul was always a different zombie and her disconnecting from me completely was odd. Plus the blue screen….haha...crash she experienced means even the so far all knowing system is clueless with her to some degree. Maybe it has to do with the Venomous added to Ghoul? I mean she devoured the poison technically speaking, and the quest is about devouring…..fuck it, we already have the heart no sense in worrying now, we should definitely move to the cave we’ve been using though, especially if more cultivators came after that flying old man.

Reliea comes back and I tell her to go grab the still semi-present Ghoul. Reliea still seems mad so I’ll be taking the Ghoul’s boots and using my massive Evil Qi reserves to fly along. We’ll be flying pretty low though, don’t want anyone chasing after us.

After a day of flying the Ghoul finally was completely lucid.

**The Ghoul/ Yu Lily**

Dammit the last thing I remember was getting hit by the poison and Sandro rushing over to me...why would he risk his life like that….and then there was just pain and Evil Qi, nothing else nothing more. The Evil Qi didn’t seem to affect my mind like I thought it would after resisting it so long, it just made everything….more….I resent living in that shitty town, with that shitty father even more. I love the power and Evil Qi I feel even more and I…..I love....him…... Never once has he really judged me for anything I’ve done, or cared that I was from some backwater city and backwater clan, he even treats me eating flesh like it's just natural….even described how I ate it...in such a...fuck….

He’s walking over to me

Sandro: “Oh good morning Ghoul”

Giving him an uncertain look...

“Hey stop looking at me like that, you can’t have me for breakfast you know.”

Looks like we're back to normal….why did he even want me to leave if he was going to through all that to save me...I need to make it clear I’m on his side….

Yu Lily: “I...uhh…need...to.”

Sandro: “Dammit Ghoul that was a joke, did you really want to eat me that much”

Yu Lily: “Shut up you fucking bastard, and stop calling me Ghoul, why does that woman get to be called by her name!”

“I just wanted to say there’s no fucking way I’m going anywhere so deal with it! You're going to keep helping me get strong. I was just worried about what would happen to me back at the cave but I was just washed in your Evil Qi and I’m still me, so I’m staying and that's final!”

Sandro: “huh...didn’t realize you're such a tsundere, If I had known that I wouldn’t have wanted you to leave in the first place”

Yu Lily: “tsundere???”

Sandro:”Hahaha don’t worry about it, let's head to our usual cave and have you eat that last heart, make it extra special for me, it’ll still be fresh and I’ll be watching..”

Fucking bastard sauntering away all confident after that line...ha..I’ll make you blush when I’m eating that heart...

**Sandro POV**

Reliea: “master is a “tsundere” someone who isn’t honest with their feelings?”

Sandro: “Hahaha yep that fits her right, she could've just asked to stay because she wanted to instead she’s “forcing” me.”

“Plus the whole “call me by my name”, how great.”

Reliea: “you have so many strange words….”

Reliea seemed to forgive me when I told her I thought she would enjoy the self harm rather than other people hurting her as we traveled another month to the cave. She still didn’t want the technique, the Gho..Lily..seemed to like though.

There weren't any sigils to prepare this time so we just took the body out of Reliea’s ring and with Reliea standing guard outside me and the ghoul went to the back of the cave. Lily seems to be more careful taking the heart out than usual…

She’s slowly licking it staring at me in the eyes….Oi oi Ghoul just cause it doesn’t gross me out doesn’t mean I actually enjoy watching you eat hearts….

Taking far more time than necessary licking the blood off her fingers...hmm that part was pretty nice….

Objective 2 Complete calculating next action…….

Quest :Natural Evolutions are pure luck and often just follow similar conditions to rituals. In order to evolve the Ghoul from the Flesh Realm to the Devouring Realm the Ghoul must become the essence of Devour.

Objective 1: The Ghoul must devour 100 hearts of Profound cultivators, level is irrelevant(Completed)

Objective 2: The Ghoul must devour 1 heart of a Spirit Realm Cultivator, level is irrelevant(Completed)

Objective 3: Lily must devour the heart of her maker

Results Unpredictable.

Hey you fucking system the fuck does that mean!

no…….I don’t wanna die again, I took a soul from one of the people back at the school to replace than one I lost playing with Evil Qi Construction compression but….Nooooo, there's no way having my heart ripped out of my chest is going to fun, in fact it’ll probably be the worst so far! With my vitality who knows how long it’ll be before I actually die…..

Sandro: “Uh gh...Lily the next part I need you do it quick alright…, make sure to kill me after so I can heal back up quicker”

Lily:”What do you..?”

Sandro: “haaahhh…….you’ll be having me for breakfast afterall….”

18++(as usual nothing plot relative and kinda short)

Spoiler :

**Yu Lily POV**

Hah I’ll get ahead of you right here you damn vampire, I remember what you did to him when you needed his blood, this’ll be much more fun for him…

Jumping onto him before he has a chance to react I begin kissing him, the blood from my meal still dying my lips red….

**Sandro POV**

Watching her pull her mouth away as she’s straddling me..

Sandro: “I can’t say I’m not looking forward to it Lily but you sure you’re okay with Reliea hearing us?”

Yu Lily: “What and you think I couldn’t hear you two freaks with all her screaming...we live in the same fucking house you bastard, the forest is only so big I’d have to travel back to the city to avoid hearing you two when we're traveling.”

We return to locking our lips as my tongue invades her mouth, she’s clumsy, but it doesn't matter...I can feel the Evil Qi fluctuating between us increasing the pressure..Activating Evil Qi Transformation I try to get on top, but she pushes me back down pulling down my pants and opening up her black dress....already naked underneath she slips my cock in giving a quick tiny scream, but with her constitution the pain is irrelevant as she starts vigorously riding me with a mix of several fluids as a guide. She holds down my arms to the ground and begans kissing me again this time with more force....

Taking her in her moment of weakness as she came, I push her off and get behind her. I flip her dress over her back revealing her plump bottom and pale flawless skin, Once more inserting myself inside i enjoy the sound of her ass as I hit against it, Her moaning getting stronger and louder as our speed increases far beyond human levels.... I finish inside her as she gives a final loud moan...Turning around she pushes me again onto my back, fully removing my pants,  

Lily: "You forced me last time, but now I won't stop until I'm satisfied..."

she puts my dick in her mouth and in a motion similar to how I had ordered her, begins moving her mouth up and down with vigorous suction force....

As I finish for a third time in a row of this now slightly tortuous, extremely arousing event, she straddles me once more and reaches for my chest....

18++ END

**Sandro POV**

Watching her rip my heart out while I’m at the peak of ecstasy it all goes dark as I see her hand swipe at my head….

I wake up to screaming...Lily….she...what is she??

Black scales tinted with violet are growing on parts of her body….her hands are covered with scales, her nails turned a deeper blackish violet. A...Tail??is growing out the end of her spine covered in a smooth snake-like skin, two white horns spread apart her silver hair appearing on her forehead…

What the fuck….

Yu Lily: “Arrrgahh dammit help...it hurts...so much….please!”

I start channeling some Evil Qi into her hoping to alleviate some of the pain, it seems to help but in the end she’ll have to deal with….the transformation.

It's been two months since Lily finished her ritual. I heard an interesting rumor about a desert to the north of Blue Fall City. Apparently it was once the home of a small but powerful kingdom of people described as cultivators who used the blood of others to empower themselves. Many people have tried searching in the past, but the desert is completely devoid of world Qi. There are also strange monsters that, since cultivator don't have world Qi at their use, could even kill Cloud Realm cultivators given enough time and number.

After spending these two months in Blue Fall City I came across something interesting from one of my zombies. I’ve been sending out my zombies once more after I raised former test subjects, It's extremely difficult for anything to survive the conditions of the Moryun Desert to the north of Blue Fall City sure, but when they’re immortal zombies that can be supplemented with my own Evil Qi, its a huge advantage. The beasts in the desert seem to ignore them to a degree unless they get too close.

We are currently traveling towards where my zombie found the point of interest. Using my zombies as forward scouts I’m able to avoid any of the dangerous beasts. Over the past two months I’ve reached the 9/9 Blood Soul Realm but still need a decent amount of exp before I get any advancement quests I’d imagine.

Her skills that she chose from when I let her access the system, she only choose to increase the 2 the system had innately given her.

Lily's Skill Draconian Transformation Level 5: Allows the user to fully transform to her Draconian heritage, covering certain parts with scales, growing a tail with fully control, and the rest of her skin becoming a tougher tighter serpent like texture. Increased levels improve the toughness of the bones/skin and speed of transformation between both forms(Ghoul/Draconian Ghoul)

Lily's Skill Poison Breath Level 3: Allows the user to breath a cloud of poison using their Venom Qi. Increased Levels increase the potency of the breath

Lily's Skill Devouring Venomous Body Level 4: the user's unknown bloodline combined with a deadly poison has allowed her to absorb Venom Qi from poisons, become immune to the damage of poisons she has already survived stronger  of, and to gain traits from strong poisons. Increased Levels increase the efficiency of absorbing Vemon Qi from poisons, as well as the ability to adapt and survive stronger poisons.

The changes for the ghoul….Her..Draconian Traits are hidden lest she activate them with a skill the system gave her.  A Venomous Draconian Ghoul, I don’t know how it explains what the system is having trouble with but it's a start. When she activates the skill her entire body becomes covered in a layer of black snake like skin with darker harder scales covering the outside of her hands and feet/lower legs. The skin part has a mix of a violet undertone going well with her current Silver tinged violet hair. It feels incredible, it has an odd smooth texture that when applied to her already fantastic ass makes it firmer yet still supple beyond reasoning...Our nights when I’m not with Reliea are always with her transformed version, her tail can be quite useful. It’s apparently more comfortable for her to be in Draconian form so she was her usual… “Humph, makes sense a pervert like you enjoy’s a form like this” happy self.

While the system is calling her a Draconian the lack of wings makes and the skin make me think of some sort of Heaven Devouring Serpent...she’s certainly gluttonous enough for that...

Reliea or Lily don’t seem to mind me being with both, but unfortunately there hasn’t been a night where they both joined in...yet.

Lower level poison and even those meant to kill spirit cultivators(this ghoul costing me so much money as usual)have no effect on her. She’s able to breath a poison similar to the one she was infected with, but at the cost of all her Venom Qi that only recharges with at least Spirit level poisons, its effects….a tiny portion hit Reliea when they were dueling and it was bad, I ended up draining Reliea of blood while feeding her some of mine and only then she managed to recover quickly. It's banned now from their spars, I don’t know why Lily even used it….it was quite deadly on our decreasing supply of profound cultivator test subjects, maybe she’s at least not as okay with me and Reliea as I thought. It does make me trust her more than she’s that jealous but the whole murder suicide thing is also a frightening conclusion. 

There’s a rumor going around the city about cultivators disappearing so we won’t be here much longer. After we return from what my zombie scout found we’ll sell the house and head out towards as far away country as we can. The port of city of Turin and the Eastern Rize continent afterwards seems like a good step, considering the large ocean that is needed to be crossed.

The sky cultivator that came to the school...they clearly are interested in me rather than the destruction of the city to send someone that strong. As silly as my ploy was I can only hope the digging I had done will distract them for a while and not search beyond that area.

**Corded Life, Sect Evil Cultivator, Sky Realm Cultivator Wang Zhen**

This damn old man….I’ve been torturing him for hours and the only thing he can tell me about the most recent undead is that three kids, one from the Black Demon Sect, were responsible.

Like Hell! Do you think we wouldn’t known about what should be the most talented younger generation member of the Black Demon Sect…...in end the he has no reason to lie...eh..another half hour of torture couldn't hurt...me anyways…

Lou Teng: “NO NO PLEASE DON’T COME ANY CLOSER I SWEAR….*sobbing* I swear that’s everything!”

Wang Zhen: “Yes yes sure it is….”

I learned from this man that the boy has some sort of ability to hide his face, the boy from that ridiculous bounty poster….It apparently flickered when he used some sort of barrier…..Not only that the man said the boy was at the peak of the Profound Realm instead of what we earlier believed was the Qi Realm for him so we discounted it as a the ramblings of a mad man…...

We had thought the responsible source was a descended immortal of some sort searching for something here...but if it truly is a boy who simply got some lucky inheritance….we’ll still “work” with him...

**Sandro POV**

We’re approaching where my zombie fell into the ground and discovered an underground passage, he came across some sort of door but beyond that I couldn’t really understand…It make sense that no one found it though, how could they, when any cultivator capable of searching this far would be flying….

Sandro: “Reliea fly me down there and let's see if we truly got lucky.”

Ahhh the excitement, what luck!...is what I would say if I didn’t have hundreds of zombies searching the desert….

**Yue Fang POV Several Months Later**

Every single fucking one them, Evil Cultivators or not they all just seek power, they lust, they are filled with greed….I swore not to let them take from me...but in the end…..

Having just watched my master give his life for me to prevent the school’s elders from taking what I discovered in the Azure Dragon Temple, I’ve come to realize once again the true nature of this world…. I’m currently on a boat heading towards the Eastern Rize Continent...What I found there, the way it altered my blood, the inheritance I’ve gained, I have reached the peak of the spirit realm so quickly...but it's still not enough! I won’t let anyone deny me the revenge that is coming...one by one...every fucking one of them I’ll destroy every single Evil Sect, every single Clan that thinks they can take what doesn’t belong to them….It’ll be MY world no one shall take anything from me!

There is also 3 damn evil cultivators on this boat...but in the end not only does the supposed leader of the group treat me well, always drinking at night, with an immortal wine that he casually shares with me improving my soul and cultivation, complaining about his two wives...bastard...I can’t seem to hate him, I even ended up telling him I was forced out of my school, though not why, and he only responding that someone as talented as me shouldn’t be tied down at a school that can’t even see greatness. He was drunk in the end so I took the compliment and advice lightly but….

Can I really enact my revenge if just spending time with an Evil Cultivator is enough to stem my hatred? No...it just reminded me that not everyone is my enemy, It’ll never be the end of my vengeance unless I can find the person truly responsible for my sister’s death...

**Sandro POV Present Day**

Running my hand across the strange door….what!....It blasts me and Lily away sucking Reliea inside. Dammit what the hell is thing...is it time to test out my spear?

**Reliea POV**

Unknown Feminine Voice: “Welcome my inheritor, my Vampire worthy of my legacy!” “Let us see….*BOOM*

Sandro: “Oi Reliea the fuck is going on!”

Master walks in after an object blazes past overhead after blowing thru the door...with...where the hell is his arm!

Unknown Feminine Voice: “*cough* Ahem, hmm?? You are??... her sire?...but your are not…..haaahh...It does not matter just come….”

Ignoring the dejected voice...

Reliea: “to think master got injured in order to rescue me!”

Lily: “yeah yeah go have your moment later, so what did that voice want?”

Pushing me away… humph that damn Ghoul has been so jealous recently...she nearly killed me with that damn poison of hers after we both agreed she shouldn’t use it….ahh but to get master’s blood as result….I didn’t bring it up with him….

**Sandro POV Moments before**

No no shit...I was so entranced by the idea of discovering something about this world's Vampires we went here just willy nilly….There wasn’t even any Qi coming from here….The Ghoul hits the door a few times but it just produces a small dent...far too slow ….

Ahh fuck it all it's time for that isn’t it…

Telling Lily to go as far back as she can, I create the spear with the image in my mind...A 7 foot black spear with red cracks and lines going across it similar to the dagger. I start compressing Evil Qi into the hollow compartments one by one with the one at the very end getting the most compression, just before it blows I launch the spear….

OHHH that was incredible!......Right thru the.....

Where the fuck is my arm!! Argghh dammit what the fuck, how could you betray me like this my beautiful spear…

Rushing in while tying my wounded stub of an arm, with the lack of Qi regeneration I’d rather not take the several hours and the massive amount of Evil Qi it’ll take to heal the arm back. Even with my improved Vitality it's not like I’m undead, that can be saved for later…

Unknown Feminine Voice: “*cough* Ahem, hmm?? You are??... her sire?...but your are not…..haaahh...It does not matter just come….”

The hell is that voice, a living Vampire??

Reliea: “to think master got injured in order to rescue me!”

Lily: “yeah yeah go have your moment later, so what did that voice want?”

Pushing Reliea away while saying as such…

Unknown Feminine Voice: “The two Vampires and their Sire may enter the other...thing...may stay here, the door will repair itself, it seems these long years have weakened it, though to think what appears to be a profound level cultivator broke through it….”

Woah woah...Two Vampires and their Sire….WHAT TWO VAMPIRES….

Unknown Feminine Voice: “HAHAHA judging by your look boy you didn’t know. You needn’t look so dejected as a child of a pure blooded it may take decades to centuries for it to be born. Even then the baby only truly grows towards the last few months, until then with the souls tied even complete destruction is irrelevant so long as the mother is alive…”

Thats better but still...what are centuries when you're immortal. Hmph she/he will be out of the house by 18!

Reliea: “hahaha did you hear that Hu-s-ban-d we’re going to be parents...Though I promise you husband if you try to marry this one off without their permission I’ll make sure you won’t be able to have anymore….”

Damn, it practically shrinked into my body with that glare...though I think this must relate back to her revenge against her clan….

Huh doesn’t this mean the Ghoul practically killed my child….staring at Lily I notice a very guilty look on her face..OI! At Least pretend you weren't trying to kill her….

Though if she feels bad about almost killing my child at least I won’t have to worry about the murder suicide anymore…

Unknown Feminine Voice: “Well then shall we head in, there are things I must give what I believe to be the last living of my kind, I am already the last that has survived stasis and I do not have much time.”

I can’t help but be suspicious but with the knowledge that I created Reliea and that this voice has a very high chance of being a vampire as well we decide to head further in with the Ghoul staying behind.

Unknown Feminine Voice: “These coffins are all that remains of my race, we used them for cultivation and for when we tired of the sleepless nights. They were also used to preserve us as we were trapped and hunted in the forest that had its World Qi removed...I...am the last….I do not know how many years it's been, we were only supposed to be in stasis until our sister sect came for us...but with no blood nor World Qi to draw from we were too weak to even attempt leaving and with time passed away.”

“But for all my kind to die...it may have been millions of years...otherwise there is no other way we could have passed in stasis.”

Then couldn’t she use us to revive in some way….

“Even if I took your blood now it would not matter, I am at most a soul still attached to a corpse. You will feel no Qi coming from my coffin as well.”

“I am in the furthest coffin at the end, please open it and assist me in handing what I need to give to my successor..”

I decide to pop open a few of the other coffins along the way to make sure she’s telling the truth...yep no signs of Qi coming from the skeletal bodies in there…

Walking to the end of what seems to be a large throne room we reach the furthest coffin and opening it after sensing no Qi from it…

Sandro: “AHHHH!!”

Valia Bloodcrest: “Hahaha did I scare you boy!

“You may know me as Queen Valia Bloodcrest, though Valia shall do.”

Damn talking bones screwing with me

Reliea : “Pffft…...hahaha husband I did not think you could….screech…..in such...hahaha...manner.”

Looking me over…

Valia: “You are truly human aren’t you? But I still sense the sire bond between you and this girl...did you create….no wonder you were able to use that strange technique to break open that door truly talented!”

Her creepy skeleton hands grabbing on to my shoulders:

“Can you truly turn humans into PureBloods, Boy this could...”

Avoiding another scream leaking out, I’m surprisingly weak to a talking skeleton considering my profession...

Sandro: “No, as far as I can tell only Reliea has been different from the other Vampires I tried to create.”

Valia: “ah…...I see truly a shame, but it does not matter now that someone has come and I can die knowing my race lives even if she will be the last truly pure-blooded. Come I will show you how the coffin works you should take my ring and take all the coffins with you before you leave they will be of use to her training and any of your future children.”

Giving her ring to Reliea she explains how to use the coffin for times she wishes to sleep or cultivate, according to her couples would often use the coffin together….no fucking way I’m locking myself in box….Apparently they are useful for any of the undead race mentioning that the thing outside could benefit as well.

Valia: “I do not seek vengeance, I only seek my race still lives, please be safe and should you ever reach the point of ascension there is a letter of the foes of our race inside the ring….there is nothing else here of use I’m afraid everything you need will be in that ring, feel free to look through the rings of my brethren in the coffins you collected…..Off you go young ones….”

The bones collapse….

Reliea appears to be deep in thought looking through the ring she was given. We head towards the entrance where Lily is…

Sandro: “AHHHH!!”

Dammit that woman...a hand touched me on the back before turning to ash amidst the cackling laugh of that Valia….I, ignoring the echoing laugh of my..’wife’, continue on.
