The Blood King 25 Where Am I?

three people were flying at amazing speeds, the two behind gradually getting closer to the one in front. 'they are catching up. i'm almost out of qi.' levi looked back at the two people. "Humph! Lets see how long you can keep running for!" Elder rock shouted, forming a spear from qi. Sou! The black spear whistled as it flew towards levi  at a frightening speed. As a chilling sense of danger welled up in him, levi turned his wings over in an attempt to dodge, but to his surprise the spear continued to follow him. Puchi! The tip of the spear pierced his left shoulder, before continuing closer to his heart.

"Hahaha! In a moment, my speer will destroy your heart. But before that, i have a little surprise for you!" Elder rock shouted. Levi looked back, trying to figure out what elder rock was talking about. "!!!" 'This thing is sending his qi into my body and trying to destroy my organs! I have to get it out!' Levi thought. Puff! A small black flame appeared in front of his forehead, without wasting any time levi sent a large amount of mental energy into his body. The mental energy gathered around the dark qi, before gradually pus.h.i.+ng it back toward the speer.

Sou!

the sound of whistling was heard once again as the white haired old man launched a terrifying sword light. "!!""ackk!" Levi tried to dodge in vain, the sword light left a large slash across his back. Blood flowed freely from the gash, even bones were peeking out. 'I'm almost out of qi. The moment i slow down, i'm dead.' Levi thought. 'You can try to absorb the qi that was invading your body.' The demon saint said calmly.

"!" Levi was slightly surprised. 'I am being chased right now, this is no time for a lesson.' Levi said. Although he said that, he tried to control the qi from the speer that was still stuck in his back with mental energy. "Heuk!" He coughed a mouthful of blood as the energy once again wreaked havoc in his body. 'I am almost out of mental energy....!' but them he remembered something. Without a word, a smaller golden flame appeared above the black one.

"Dammit! Why don't you hurry up and die?!" Elder rock shouted. Ignoring him, levi grew out the fingernails in his left hand and gathered some mental energy between them. 'the amount of mental energy i can get from the demon saint is limited, so i can't try to get rid of that qi.' without another thought, he turned around swiftly and slashed out with his hand. sou! five large blades of wind and mental energy flew towards elder rock.

"you think this can sto-!" elder rock stopped. the blades of wind broke apart when they collided with his defensive qi, while the mental energy seeped right through, going directly into his body. although at levi's current level, he would not be able to hurt elder rock with it. but even so, if something foreign enters your body, you would naturally try to get it out. that was exactly what levi was aiming for.

"you! what are you stopping for!" the white haired old man flew right by elder rock but did not stop, still chasing levi. '...my qi is used up. but that old man is still chasing me. i can't beat him without qi.' levi thought. seeing levi slow down, the white haired old man began to relax. 'what if i do this?' levi suddenly though of something. boom! he began to put what mental energy he had left into his wings, causing his speed to skyrocket, leaving a shockwave in his wake.

"what..." the white haired old man looked at the scene in shock. "...the first elder said to only use it if necessary, but there seem's to be no other choice." he stopped following levi then pulled a small glowing blue crystal from his robes, in the middle of this crystal was a brown liquid. pouring some of his qi into the crystal, it cracked before dissapearing.

levi was still flying at a terrifying speed, approaching a mountain with a dark aura. 'stop! if you don't stop, you will die!" the demon saint shouted in a panic. 'stop what? if i stop flying i will be killed.' levi responded. "no! if you don't stop using mental energy you will really die!' the demon saint shouted. "what are yo-thump!"what was that..." levi's body pulsated. "is it that binding crystal?....i was right not to put my own blood on it, my boar bloodline is gone. the changes it did to my body are still there but i can't feel the bloodline itself anymore...."

"whatever. that was a weak bloo-ugh!" before he could finish his sentence, he felt his entire body break. '....sigh...can't say i didn't warn you.....this is the end of the line for me i guess....'the demon saint said. levi plummeted at a high speed, breaking through the branches of the black trees. "wha..t...is...hap...pening..." in a small crater on the ground, levi tried to get up in vain. '...surprisingly we are still alive! i guess it wasn't as bad as i thought!" the demon saint shouted after a sigh of relief. "if....thi...s...is..where i...think...it is...then..i hav-" just as he was about to try to get up once again, levi found himself falling into darkness.

...

"haaahhh!" clank! the sound of metal clas.h.i.+ng rang out. "aghhhh!" a man fell to the sand filled ground, blood pouring from a hole in his bear chest. "huff! huff!" another man gasped for air while looking down at the corpse, his bloodied and torn rags barely covering his scar filled body. "what?! how did he win?!! get up! i bet money on you!!" in the distance a man shouted, his face distorted from rage. "heh heh! better luck next time! later, i have to collect my money!" another man shouted before walking away. "dammit!!" the man punched the stone chair that was in front of him.

"uhg...." levi woke up to the screaming of people and the clas.h.i.+ng of metal, causing his brows to come together. opening his eyes, he found himself in a large metal cage. there were more cages with people in them around him, from women and children, to the elderly. some banged the metal cage, tears in their eyes while screaming. while others just sat quietly, no light to be seen in their eyes, as if declaring their defeat.

"hmm?" while sitting up, levi felt his neck being weighed down by something. looking down, a large circular piece of metal was around his neck. "where the h.e.l.l am i?" he asked himself, under the screaming and crying.
