The Blood King 93 Demonic City

Over the last two days, Levi practiced the wind commandment.

At first, he wanted to blow off steam by going along to kill some mutated beasts.

But after thinking about it, he realized that he shouldn't do that.

Since he was pretending to be some kind of powerful being, if he struggled while killing a mutated beast, the whole situation would become more troublesome.

" Kek!" He stopped, as his feet landed heavily on the ground.

' Dammit! It feels like my lungs are being crushed! How the h.e.l.l am i supposed to step lightly on the ground while trying to move fast?!' Levi thought, as he panted.

With every breath, he felt a slight electrifying pain going though his chest.

' They are still a good distance away, fighting some beast.' The demon saint's voice exhoed in Levi's head.

During this time, he helped Levi keep a certain distance from the group of people by reporting their distance.

With this, Levi didn't go too far or stay too close.

But because he had just ran off after saying that he would help them kill the mutated beasts, their bad impressions of him got worse.

They of course didn't say anything to his face, in fear of loosing their lives, but they all cursed him in their hearts.

' By the way, why are you torturing yourself? Are you a m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.t?' The demon saint asked in a joyful tone.

It was always him who got tortured by Levi.

It was nice to see the latter going through h.e.l.l for a change.

"....Shut up..." Levi said, still gulping down air.

' Tch! Humph! Only calling me when you want something! And even after i help you, all i get is 'shut up!', not even a half-a.s.sed thank you!' The demon saint snorted unhappily.

"..."

".....This is an agility technique that i am practicing. Do you know if i am doing something wrong?" Levi asked.

He didn't like asking things of people.

This was a scar from when he was kicked out from his family.

How people reacted when a dirty, homeless child asked for things, he knew all too well.

But since the demon saint was behaving this way, he a.s.sumed that he knew a thing or two.

'.....Hmm, agility technique? Tell me, in the description of this technique, did it say that it should be used with or a.s.sisted with qi when used?' The demon saint asked.

" Hmm." Levi nodded.

' Then, it is a trash skill. For things like agility techniques, if they need to be a.s.sisted with qi when used, then they aren't worth learning.' The demon saint said.

' But then again, i guess it was a great fortune for you to aquire a skill like this on this tiny continent.' He continued.

"..." Levi silently waited for him to explain.

' Think about it.'

' If you were running for your life with a bunch of people behind you, shooting different kinds of skills at you, your qi depleted, how would you get away with such a skill?' The demon saint asked.

' If you ran out of qi before your pursuers, you would be screwed. Since these kinds of skills rely on qi, without qi, they are useless.' He said.

' but, if there was a skill that was on the same level or better than one that needed to be a.s.sisted with qi, what would that mean?'

"....that you would be able to run almost indefinitely?"

' No you fool! It would depend on the stamina of the person in particular.' The demon saint snickered silenlty.

He had purposely directed the question that way in order to insult Levi.

' But if you had such a skill, while running, if you wanted, you could launch your own attacks.'

' Or better yet, you could just keep running until the people chasing you exausted their qi, before launching your attack.' The demon saint explained.

' People seem to think that when qi is involved, everything becomes stronger or better.'

' Hehehe, but fools like that are not using qi the way it should be used.'

' Qi should be used to a.s.sist you, at best. You shouldn't rely on it for everything.' The demon saint said with a dark laughter.

" Then, do you know a better agility technique?" Levi asked.

' Huh? Why would i know something like that?' The demon saint asked with a puzzled voice.

" Huh?" Levi said, confused.

' My research on the human soul made it possible for me to tamper with them whenever i pleased!'

' With this kind of ability, why would i need to run?'

' Bwahahaha, this demon has no need for something as useless as an agility technique!' The demon saint laughed arrogantly.

"..." Levi breathed weakly, as he suppressed his anger.

Did the demon saint just like playing with him?

He knew the answer and it just angered him more.

After calming himself down, he shut off the demon saint's voice, and went back to practicing the wind commandment.

...

Night time.

"...So you couldn't kill any mutated beasts?" Levi asked, as he looked at the 13 people.

"....Yes..." Their voices were soft, as they tried to burry their heads in their chests.

The group of 15 people was now down to 13.

They sat around a small fire, with multiple large, red swells on their faces and arms.

' Its not that we couldn't kill mutated beasts, it's that you picked one that couldn't be killed!'

' How are we supposed to kill the brainwas.h.i.+ng mosquito king?!'

' That thing controls seemingly normal mosquitoes from a safe distance!'

' It might not seem like anything speacial at first, but have you ever tried to fight a swarm of mosquitoes?!'

They thought angrily.

"..." Levi looked at them silently.

He had wanted to get a bit stronger before leaving desolate mountain, but since things were like this, he would just forget it for the time being.

" Go back to the village." Levi said after some thought.

" Huh?" The people asked as they raised their heads, their expressions brightening considerably.

" I will be gone for a few days, so tell the rest of the villagers to catch some mutated beasts in that time." Levi said, causing the expressions of the people to dim immediately.

" It doesn't matter which ones, just catch a lot and keep them alive until i return." Levi said as he got up from the log he was sitting on.

" Ah, um, yes....Wh-Where are you going...sir?" One of them asked.

"....To take repay an old debt." Levi said simply.

He turned around and walked until his figure could no longer be seen.

"..." The people watched this silently, before getting up and going in the opposite direction.

Only they knew what they were thinking.

...

Morning.

Levi panted heavily, as a pain in his chest intensified.

' Hey, hey, hey! Listen to me!'

' Forcing yourself to keep going isn't going to help you learn the skill!'

' And even if it did, the damage to your body would be lasting!' The demon saint currently had a headache.

Levi ran for the whole night until he collapsed, and as soon as he could move again, he did the same thing until morning.

This was 10th time, as Levi collapsed on a dirt path.

'....Where are you going anyway?' The demon saint asked.

" Demonic city." Levi said.

He panted heavily, as his breath caused dust blow up.

' Oh, demonic city. Demonic city....Do you mean the demonic city that was supposed to be run by your sect?!'

" From what i know...huff!..it is...huff!..part of the sect's...huff!..territory!" Levi said.

' Are you r.e.t.a.r.ded?! Why the h.e.l.l are you going into the territory of a sect that want's you dead?!?' The demon saint shouted.

"....Why are you shouting in my head?" Levi asked in displeasure.

' You! You! You! Could it be that....you are really stupid?'

' I was ignoring the possibilities but-' The demon saint was cut off, as Levi blocked out his voice.

" I know what i am doing.'

' I will just change my appearance again.'

' Although people might already know how i look when i change my face, i have a solution for that.' Levi thought silently.

He slowly got up from the ground and sat cross-legged.

The color began to leave his hair, as his golden eyes became red.

Before all of the color left his hair, he stopped.

His hair was now a washed out pink color, while his eyes were a light red, with wide black slits down the middle.

He swept the hair covering his forehead back, before gathering the rest and trying it in a knot at the back of his head.

Although, some of it was too short and fell back down.

He didn't mind this, as a thick smoke rose from his body, before gathering around his face.

When it left, his straight, sharp nose was curved, with a large hump on it's bridge.

He had large cheek bones and his eyes were thinner.

" But, if anything touches my face..." He rubbed his finger over his face, causing the white smoke to scatter.

He slowly got up from the ground, and began running once again.

His feet hit the ground softly, as he moved slowly.

As he tried to increase his pace, beads of sweat appeared on his now exposed forehead.

".....Oh..If even sweat caused it to turn back into smoke, then things would have become troublesome." Levi mumbled to himself, as he continued to run.

The reason this was so hard was that, with every step, before his foot could touch the ground, he had to carefully place it on the ground lightly.

So if he wanted to increase his speed, he would also have to increase the force he used to run, but according to the wind commandment, he had to step lightly on the ground.

His head spun when he though about it, so instead of trying to work it out in his head, he used the only thing that he could think of.

Force.

If he couldn't find a trick or something to help him learn the skill, then he could only resort to using force.

" Huff! Huff!" Levi stopped running, as a city wall appeared in the distance.

He walked slowly to catch his breath.

' Ahhhh! Ahhhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!'

".....Demon saint, do you want me to shut out your voice again?" Levi asked with a dark expression.

As soon as he allowed himself to hear the demon saint's voice again, he was screaming in his head?

He didn't even use the letters on the demon saint, so he had no reason to be screaming.

' Ah, ahem! Humph! This demon was just practicing my singing! Do you have a problem with that?! What else am i supposed to do in this d.a.m.n place?!' The demon saint shouted.

'....Singing? THAT was supposed to be singing?' Levi thoughf silently, but said nothing.

" Hmmm?" Levi looked closely at the wall that now appeared considerably bigger.

' Soldiers wearing green armor? Who are they?' Levi thought silently.

' Are the from....' He walked towards the gate, as he cautiously watched the two soldiers.

" Halt!" A loud shout suddenly a.s.saulted his eardrums.

He walked through the gate, only to see the two large soldiers glaring at him, swords in hand.

"..." Levi looked at them silently

" What are you looking at, ugly?! Pay the fee or turn the f.u.c.k around!" One of them shouted.

" How much?" Levi asked coldly.

" 10 gold coins!" The other one shouted.

Levi reached into his robe to pull some coins from the spatial ring, but paused.

' Wait.' The demon saint's voice stopped him.

' What?' Levi asked in his head.

" What are you wasting time for? Either hand over the gold or leave! If you won't, there is always a 3rd option!" One of thm shouted, as killing intents erupted from their bodies.

' Don't react explosively to that killing and don't give them any gold coins!' The demon saint said.

' What?' Levi asked, as his expression darkened.

He wanted to get into the city without causing any trouble.

Wouldn't this do just that?

' Trust me. Hehehe, our lives are connected, so you don't have to worry about me trying to kill you.' The demon saint said.

' I know this already, but that doesn't mean i trust you.' Levi thought silently.

"..." He looked at the soldiers as he secretly grew out the fingernails on his hidden hand.

" What? You don't have the money?!" One of them exploded.

Seeing the changes in Levi's expression after he reached into his robe, the man was sure that Levi didn't have any money.

"..." Levi stiffly shook his head.

" Then get f.u.c.king lost before i kill you!" The man shouted.

" Tch, why bother killing him? He doesn't have any money so we would just be wasting our time! Lets just go." The other one shouted, as he put his sword back in it's sheath.

Levi watched the two walk away.

' Hehehe! You must be wondering why they left.'

' I am not going to explain, but i will tell you this. If you had given them 10 gold coins, then they wouldn't have let you go this easily.' The demon saint laughed.

After standing in the same spot for a few minutes, Levi began walking.

He walked around looking for a place to stay.
