《Dragon God of Blood》


 1 Rushu flowers

    In a remote place on the continent of the Dragon Gods, where there shouldn''t be any kind of intelligent life. From the distance you can see a completely red mountain: in the mountain, there are innumerable flowers as red as the blood that sways with the wind, many petals scatter floating around the place as if it were a rain of blood.


    Rus is digging with his hands on the soil, quickly removes all the red petals that fall into the hole he is digging, since he sees something that glows red, slowly grabs a small stone that emits a soft red glow like blood, he sees the stone the size of his little finger with a small hint of desire reflected in his eyes, if he takes that stone for himself he could escape from this damn hell he has been in since he was born, although he really only realized that it was hell when his parents were killed when he was only 10 years old, now that he is 15 years old, the only thing he has left in his life is to try to survive to look for these stones every day for 12 hours in a row, but he doesn''t keep any stone, he has to give him all the stones he finds to the tribe... and if he does not, they will kill him as they did with his parents.


    The reason he wants these red stones is because Rus remembers that the stones are used to prepare special concoctions that serve to better refine the magic of any type of dragon god on the continent. Obviously, he does not know how to prepare that kind of concoctions, Rus only wants to sell the stones. 1 month ago a man appeared in his house when he slept, that man was covered in black clothes, the only thing he could see of the man was his face, he thought that the man arrived like this late at night to kill him, but that man just smiled and introduced himself as Goro. Goro told him he could buy the red stones, he even told him to help him escape the tribe! With the money he will get selling the stones to Goro, he can flee the tribe without worrying about starving on the road. Rus is even thinking of using some of the money to enroll in a magic academy in the country closest to his tribe, the country of the dragon god of light!


    With shaky and sweaty hands, Rus doubts if he should put the stone in his pants, look at his pants that really are only a torn fabric of the worst quality in the tribe that covers his butt, the pants give the impression that they cannot contain anything because it would fall immediately due to how torn it is. But Rus has a little secret, he has a secret pocket in his pants, it is a pocket that is very difficult to see.


    For 2 weeks, Rus has been knitting this pocket, although it may seem like a long time to weave a pocket, the truth is that he has had to suffer a lot to do it, he had to look for a very special fish bone that is always eaten in his tribe, the fish is very special due to its incredibly sharp bones, he had to go find the bone in the tribe''s dump to use it as a sewing needle, there have been times when he is almost devoured by some Habus in the dumps, the Habus are flying beasts, their appearance is really scary: they have white and black feathers, their head is covered with black feathers, while the rest of their body has white feathers, the Habus'' eyes are totally white, without pupils and the worst part are its beaks that measure more than half a meter long! If it weren''t because the Habus are so big they make them incredibly slow, he would have died after being traversed by the beak of a Habu.


    Rus has no choice but to look for the fishbone in the tribe''s dump since the only meal he has on the day is a bowl of viscous soup made with leftovers from the tribe''s day meal, he wants to vomit every once he remembers that disgusting soup! For him, fish is a luxury he cannot afford, nor does he have friends or acquaintances to help him, so he only had the option of going to the dump to get a bone.


    After spending several days looking for a fishbone of the correct size to use as a needle, he ran home hiding from everyone so as not to be discovered. At home he took a piece of cloth from his shirt, then very patiently, during the nights he removed off the threads of that cloth until he obtained the necessary thread, he ripped out another piece of his shirt fabric and sewed the secret pocket of his shirt pants.


    Finally, he stops doubting and puts the stone in his pants. Continue searching for more stones on the mountain, leave most of the stones to deliver to the tribe and put 5 stones in his secret pocket.


    Rus looks at the completely red sky, when the sky is blue, he leaves his house to go to this mountain to look for more stones, he returns when the sky turns completely red, which means that it is already night. When he was only 8 years old, his father told him that at night the sky is red because a dragon god died on this mountain a long time ago and that since then Rushu''s flowers appeared all over the mountain. Rus has a half-smile on his face, at that time he believed in all his father''s words, but years later he learned that they were only legends, the sky has always been red when it is night and Rushu''s flowers only serve to produce those red stones that he looks for every day.


    "Sigh, my dumb parents... why did they have to call me like those flowers?" His parents thought of his name based on the Rushu flowers, although they only eliminated the ''hu'' and left the ''Rus'', which is his name.


    "Hurry up, you know what to do" Says a muscular man in green armor that only covers his chest and legs leaving his muscular arms uncovered. He is Fatri, one of those in charge of collecting the stones that the slaves of the tribe find on the mountain. Fatri looks with a cold look at the thin boy to the bone with the greasy black hair that covers his face and with ragged clothes.


    Rus descends the mountain until he reaches the doors of his tribe, large black wooden walls, some guards with armor made of vicious beasts around the mountain. He swallows some saliva nervously. It is the first time he tries to keep some stones for him, he takes a deep breath and walks towards the tribe door.


    Fatri looks at the bag for a few seconds, he looks at Rus and says "Why do you have so few stones today?" He is used to this child bringing about 20 stones, since he is the only one in the tribe who, despite not being a slave, works many more hours on the mountain than slaves.


    Rus nods shyly and hands Fatri a bag of good-quality cloth. The bag is something that Fatri gives him every day to put the stones, but the bag is only for storing the stones, they always take it off when he returns to the tribe. In the ball, there are 10 red stones, in addition to the 5 he has he could not find more stones.


    With his heart beating strongly with the sound of "thump thump" resonating throughout his body, he says with his head bowed "...Today I had bad luck, I couldn''t find more stones"


    He put some Rushu flowers wrapped in the stones so that the stones do not sound when he walks, Rus has heard some things from Fatri in recent days, that he has quarreled with someone from the tribe who has a somewhat high position and that is why he has been behaving strangely. But Rus sees that Fatri remains the same, inexpressive and that he only asks a few things about the stones.


    "Stop bothering that child, don''t you see those clothes? How can he keep something with all those holes? You should know what happens when the stones come into contact with the skin for more than 5 minutes" Says a bearded man with a very fat body with a confident smile, he is Nacus, a tribe guard, he has a black armor that reflects the light of the torches that are on the black wooden walls. Blackwood is impossible to burn, it is a magical wood used by large countries to make wands, although here they only use it for simple structures, since nobody in the tribe knows how to use black wood to turn them into wands. Rus sees that Nacus''s armor seems to be made of scales of some snake beast.


    Fatri nods slowly "You''re right, go, rest guy, you gotta be here early tomorrow to find more stones in the mountains" Rus feel that your body is calmer, look at Nacus with gratitude and with quick steps running toward home.


    The two watch Rus leave until he disappears between the houses of the tribe.


    ...


    In a house so old that even the wood seems to be full of holes, Rus is sitting on the dusty floor and cheerfully looks at the stones that emit a slight red glow. Then he looks carefully around him, keeps the stones under his bed made with the old clothes of the people of the tribe and with a look of hope, he thinks of all the good things that await him.

    Rus thinks about what his life would be like in a white-walled magic academy with many runes everywhere, thousands of students entering and leaving the academy. Many incredibly tall and luxurious buildings... All he is thinking is not his imagination, he heard all this from his Mother. Before he was born, his mother was a student of the most important magical academy in the country of the dragon god of light, unfortunately, she did not meet the expectations of the academy, which caused her to be expelled, her family upon hearing such news, immediately cut off any relationship with her, even her father told him that he did not want to see her again. She had nowhere to go, she was completely alone until her father appeared, at that time he was doing a business trip to get some precious metals for the tribe and by chance, he met his mother. In the end, the two fell in love after many interesting adventures and 2 years in the future she gave birth to a baby.


    Rus has a happy expression when he thinks about the moment his mother told him about the epic adventures he had with his father, but his expression quickly changed to a bleak look, he remember how his parents died in front of him... With a look of hate, he promises that he will take revenge on the tribe that killed his parents, exactly the tribe in which he now resides practically as a slave, the Kellai tribe, his father was the chief of the tribe, one day everyone in the tribe joined by a thing, kill his father and take away his power. His father tried to resist the continuous attack of the best warriors of the tribe, but he was not strong enough, even his mother who had some magical skills died with his father ...He is not dead because the person who took control of the tribe wants to make him suffer incessantly as a type of slave who will have to look for red stones all his life.


    He knows many things that any child would only discover when he is older because he has received the best education from his parents'' tribe. Although that knowledge was useless when his parents were being killed in front of him.


    Rus stops thinking about all those things of the past, the most important thing for him right now is to sell the stones to Goro and then come out of the tribe without anyone knowing. He is sure that Goro will help him without being discovered, although he already has other plans in case Goro cannot get him out of the tribe.


    "Ouaah" With a yawn, he approaches his bed and lies down. Rus expects Goro to come later in the night to buy the stones. Lying in bed, he feels the roar of his empty stomach, he tries to fall asleep quickly to avoid thinking about the delicious meals he ate when his parents were alive.


    A few minutes later, Rus falls asleep deeply protected with rags full of holes, but even so, he seems to be sleeping peacefully, as if he didn''t mind sleeping with that blanket attempt that shouldn''t protect him from the cold of the night.

 2 Race skills

    Rus was sleeping peacefully, until he heard a small noise in his house, for some years he has had a habit of being very alert to the slightest noise, even if he is sound asleep. The day they entered their previous home 5 years ago was night. He was completely asleep without worrying about the outside world, but he was forced to wake up by the cries of agony that resounded throughout his house, the scene he saw just after waking up makes every night have nightmares, he saw all the corpses of the servants and trusted friends of his father thrown throughout the house covering the floor with blood.


    He immediately thinks that it is Goro who came to buy him the stones, slowly opens his eyes, sees the figure of a person in the dark, Rus is instantly surprised since the figure he sees is not from Goro! the difference is too big, remember that Goro''s body is thin and the person you are seeing is from someone very fat! Rus'' heart begins to accelerate at a very high rate, since he does not know who the person is in the dark, he will try to pretend that he is still asleep to prevent the person in the dark from doing something malicious. He doesn''t care about other things in his house, as long as the person doesn''t look at what''s under his bed, which is where the red stones are. Rus realizes something, why would someone from the tribe go to his house to rob him when everyone in the tribe is aware that he has nothing of significance?


    The person with the fat physique walks around the house checking every corner of his small old house. The light in the house is very small, there is only a soft red light that can barely illuminate the surroundings of the tribe since almost all the moonlight is blocked by red clouds that only appear at night covering the colored sky Red. Rus doesn''t need much light to see in the dark, but he doesn''t know why he can see in the dark, he never told his parents that he can see in the dark for fear of being seen as a monster, but now they are dead... Rus sees that the person suddenly stops moving, with his back to Rus, the person says "Hmmm, Oh? You woke up boy, well, that makes things easier for me since I don''t have to search randomly in this dump, although I think I know where the things I want are.


    "!!!" Rus'' pupils tremble with fear, his breathing is accelerating rapidly, he does not understand how that person discovered that he was awake, but he feels that he has heard that voice somewhere, then he thinks of the person who helped him a few hours ago to prevent Fatri check his clothes "T-that voice... are you Nacus?" He asks in a trembling voice, his expression is full of disbelief.


    "At that age, you are still calm enough to try to recognize the voice of the person who entered your house so late at night. As expected from the son of the previous chief of the tribe, you are very different from the other children in your age" Rus hears the voice of someone else in his house, before he can even try to find the origin of the voice, he hears a whisper in his ear "I''m here" With his mind in disarray for everything that is happening, he turns his head slowly in the direction where that voice came from and with wide eyes he sees with surprise the person who is only a few inches away from him "...Fatri?" Rus sees that Fatri is in his bed, Fatri is looking at him with cold eyes, he does not understand how he did not realize the moment when Fatri got into his bed.


    "Boy, you really surprised me, I didn''t expect you to listen to me since I was using one of the Nyrai breed''s skills and it''s not a weak skill since all the races that belong to the dragon god of darkness are born with the talent of becoming assassins where stealth is very common" Says Nacus, approaching Rus'' bed with small steps.


    "Pff, with that fat body I doubt that our race''s skill works for you" Fatri says with a snort looking at Nacus. then look at Rus and see that he has an expression of confusion as if he did not understand what they are talking about "Of your expression, it seems that you don''t know what we are talking about, could it be that your father has never told you the skills that the Nyrai race has?"


    With a look of mockery, Nacus says "Surely his father did not want to tell his son that he would never have the opportunity to inherit any of the skills of the Nyrai race, boy, if you have to blame someone, blame your mother for being of a race of another dragon god and the worst part is that she was from the race of the dragon god of light! Sigh, really, what did the former chief of the tribe think when he married a woman from one of the races of the dragon god of light? I think I understand a little because the current boss decided to kill him and his wife, he should have known that in the tribe we hate the other races of other dragon gods, the only races we accept are the races of the dragon god of darkness!"


    Rus has a puzzled expression, his parents never told him about the skills of the Nyrai race and nobody from the tribe said anything to him since all the people of the tribe avoid him as if he were a plague. Now that he thinks about it, the reason he sees in the dark is probably because it is a skill of the race of one of his parents, listening to what Nacus says, the safest is the skill of his father''s race, since It is logical to think that seeing in the dark is related to the dragon god of darkness and not to the dragon god of light, or so he believes.


    He already knew something about the races of the different dragon gods, although he only discovered it by chance because he heard it from some servants, when the servants discovered him, they stopped talking and even when he tried to ask the servants what they were talking about, none of the servants responded to nothing he asked. Rus does not understand why his parents hid all this information about the races of the dragon gods and the skills that each race has. But listening to Nacus that he can''t use Nyrai''s race skills makes Rus understand that maybe his parents wanted to protect him from feeling excluded because he couldn''t use race skills, although for some reason he can use a skill that is to see in the dark...


    Rus knows it''s not time to think about those things, looks at Fatri and says nervously "W-why are they here?"


    "How stupid you are, do you think we wouldn''t realize that you were hiding something? Even if we don''t check your clothes, we can still say that you were hiding some stones because of the way your heart was beating, maybe you underestimate the skills of The Nyrai race? Not only are we good for stealth, we have always been good at having a very good sense of hearing, but a mixed-race will never understand it" Nacus says in a insulting tone of voice.


    "Y-you!" Rus was going to shout to try to attract some night guard from the tribe since the stones are too important! But his mouth is quickly covered with Fatri''s hand "There is no need to scream, we will not kill you or anything, we just want the stones you have hidden" Says Fatri, then look at Nacus "Stop wasting time, surely this boy he hid the stones under all this crap" Fatri points to Rus'' bed.


    "Who wouldn''t know something so easy to deduce? I just wanted to check the rest of the house, I was leaving the bed for last" Says Nacus, looking angry at Fatri.


    Fatri is not interested in hearing Nacus'' excuses and dragging Rus out of bed so that Nacus can search the entire bed without losing a single corner where those stones can hide "Don''t resist, let my friend verify the existence of those stones" He sees that Rus tries to resist trying to remove the hand with which he covers his mouth with his small weak hands.


    "Hahaha, I found them!" Nacus takes out some stones that glow slightly red and also says "There are even some Rushu flowers next to the stones, but these things are useless, it''s just poison"


    Fatri looks at the stones ignoring the Rushu flowers "Great! If I can sell these stones I will no longer have to worry about that Yurum bastard, with that money, I can get Arald''s favor, he has always been a money addict, If I can persuade Arald with a lot of money, I''m sure he will help me kill that bastard of Yurum" Fatri has an expression of happiness at the thought of Yurum''s death" I can even stop being a useless guard who has to spend the whole day standing still next to that damn door"

    "Don''t forget what you promised me" Nacus says with a frown at Fatri, there''s even a hint of doubt in his eyes as if he was deciding to do something drastic if Fatri doesn''t keep his word...


    Fatri stops smiling and looks seriously at Nacus "Sure, I don''t forget my promises so easily"


    Rus has his eyes covered in tears, he can only look helplessly at the stones in Nacus'' hands that cost him so much effort to get. With much anger in his eyes, he bites Fatri''s hand with all his might "Ahhh!" Fatri momentarily releases Rus, but grabs him again and this time from his neck.


    "Cough cough!" Rus coughs dryly, Fatri is holding his neck too hard, with a somewhat manic laugh, he says "Hahaha and think that you would dare to bite my hand, although you are important to my plans if you keep doing that nonsense, I assure you that I will kill you" He was about to break Rus''s neck, but he calms down and says "You will wonder why I need you to get the stones if it seems easy enough to go to the mountain and take some, right? You know that my job is to collect all the stones that the slaves of the tribe find in the mountain of flowers Rushu, I always wanted to have some stones to be able to sell them since in the countries of the dragon gods they are sold at a very good price. As you know, slaves can''t steal anything, since everyone has a magical seal of obedience. Even I, who is the guard in charge of collecting the stones, I have to take off all my armor, including my underwear before entering the tribe, so that other guards can verify that I have not stolen any stones, because if they find out that I am stealing something, they will kill me immediately! The chief of the tribe does not want anyone to steal the stones, but for some reason he did not put any magic seal, it seems that he is not interested in other guards checking your clothes to enter the tribe, the chief of the tribe treats you like you don''t exist, which makes you unique, now you understand? If you choose to help me with sincerity, I promise you that I will let you go from the tribe later so you can be free and not live in this deplorable place"

 3 Red fog

    Rus can barely breathe well since Fatri is squeezing his neck very hard. He doesn''t know what to do to get out of this dangerous situation. Rus never thought that Fatri hid such an unpleasant personality behind that serious expression he always had when he handed him the stones. Trying to breathe hard, think of Fatri''s words, although Rus wants to leave the tribe, he is not dumb enough to think that Fatri will let him go after tasting the taste of money.


    With his eyes covered in tears, Rus sadly thinks about his family and those happy days that will never come back. Since he cannot do anything to defend himself against Fatri, he prefers to die rather than work for Fatri as a slave. Rus already suffered too long being treated as if he did not exist for everyone in the tribe, all he was obliged to do was look for those stones every day, if he did not go to the mountain every day to look for stones, the guards wouldn''t give him food. With his decision made and without fear of death, he says "I-I will never help you... Cough!"


    "Will you never help me? Are you sure that will be your answer?" Fatri asks with the veins sticking out of his forehead, verifies that Rus does not seem to mean anything else, he only sees that the boy has an empty look as if he were waiting for his death! He looks at Nacus and in a chilling voice says "Put the Rushu flowers in his mouth"


    "B-but if we do that, the child can die and we need him alive to make our plan work" It is the first time Nacus sees Fatri acting strangely, he even feels some fear, suddenly a chill runs through his body. Nacus feels that Fatri looks at him as if he were going to kill him at any moment "I told you to put the damn Rushu flowers in his mouth!" Fatri says loudly with his spit splashing everywhere. Nacus did not expect Fatri to be so blinded by anger that he even forgot to lower his voice to prevent the tribe''s night guards from discovering them!


    With sweat all over his body, Nacus nods, takes some Rushu flowers from the bed and approaches Rus "If you''re lucky you can survive..." He looks at Fatri to see if he truly wants to do this to the boy, but he doesn''t seem to change his decision. Even he feels some sympathy for this child who is about to suffer pain that no child should endure, even adults can die from that pain. Nacus knows very well what happens when Rushu''s flowers come into contact with the mouth or, to be precise, with the saliva that is still in contact with the skin: the eyes, nose, ears, and mouth begin to bleed after 5 seconds of contact with the mouth, while the person loses a lot of blood, from one moment to another unimaginable pain travels throughout the body to the point of wanting to die to avoid feeling that pain. He has even heard that there are some people of the races of the dragon god of ground, who have very resistant bodies that died from the shocking pain.


    Rus sees that Nacus slowly brings to his mouth the Rushu flowers he used to wrap the stones a few hours ago, he does not know the effect of the Rushu flowers when entering the mouth, but he does not care, since due to Nacus''s behavior, it is very likely to cause death. Rus suddenly remembers some words that his mother said when he was 9 years old, a year before they died, her mother told her that what she regretted most in her life was not being able to graduate from the magic academy and that is why her family came to hate her. After saying those words, she smiled and said that she is also grateful that those things have happened, because thanks to that she was able to meet his father.


    With the words of his mother resonating in his mind, his will to live that once was a small flame that seemed to be extinguished at any moment rapidly expands to become a great flame. His eyes that were previously empty seem to regain their brightness and, with all the force that can be accumulated in his jaw, he bites Nacus''s hand that is putting the Rushu flowers in his mouth.


    "Ahhh!" Nacus quickly withdraws his hand with a cry of pain, looks at his fingers and sees several teeth marks, even sees some blood coming out of the wound, looks angry at Rus, but sees that the boy is smiling while his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth begins to bleed. Nacus'' anger at being bitten in the hand decreases when he sees that the child''s suffering is beginning.


    Rus smiles as he rejoices that he has at least made one of them suffer before he dies, although, honestly, he is no longer willing to die, he has to take revenge on the tribe for killing his parents, teach his mother''s family a lesson and, of course, until he graduates from a magical academy! With the taste of blood all over his mouth, he clenches his teeth, as he feels some bursts of pain running through his body little by little until the pain becomes incredibly intense.


    Fatri looks with surprise at the boy who previously seemed to have abandoned his will to live, since for some reason now he seems not to want to die for anything in the world. Then he realizes what he has been doing, looses Rus''s neck immediately, does not understand why his anger increases so much for the actions of a child, his original plan was to hit him a little for him to cooperate, but now things they got out of his control... "Huh?" Fatri sees a lot of red fog coming through the many holes that Rus''s old wooden house has "... What''s going on?" Then he feels that something warm slips down his cheeks, touches his face, looks at his hand and sees that he has blood.

    Nacus stopped looking at Rus since he does not like to see people suffer, he is looking at the red stones in his hand, he has always wanted to stop being a guard, live his life surrounded by beautiful women and have one of the best houses in the tribe! He look with a silly smile at the red stones, suddenly he sees something strange in the stones, a red smoke starts coming out of the stones and in just a few seconds each of the 5 stones in his hand turns into smoke!


    "What!?" Nacus not only sees the stones turn into smoke, but he also sees a red mist that comes out of the bite wounds that Rus made him, he tries to cover the wounds with his clothes but the fog passes through the clothes! He looks at Fatri nervously, but what he sees is a lot of red fog that covers the entire house! Suddenly he feels intense dizziness that causes his body to lose his balance, tries to stand, but finally falls to his knees, looks at the ground and sees that many red drops fall to the ground "B-blood?" Nacus says with a trembling voice, he remembers the symptoms that appear when a Rushu flower enters someone''s mouth, then he feels that his stomach is somewhat strange and that something hot is going up to his throat "Blergh!" Nacus vomits a lot of blood, with blurry eyes, his eyesight darkens and falls on his blood.


    Fatri, who is very close to Rus, feels that his body is surprisingly weak, the blood does not stop leaving his body, he believes that everything that is happening is due to that child, he looks at him and sees that all Rus''s skin has veins red, but the boy no longer bleeds anywhere, in fact, he sees that the fog is being absorbed by Rus''s body. Fatri tries to stretch his arms to touch Rus with the intention of killing him to try to stop the blood that leaves his body, but as soon as he moves his arms, his body stops responding and falls to the ground with a sound of "Plaf" With his last breath left he says "N-not, this was not what had to happen..." Everything around him darkens to never see the light again.


    Rus''s mind is full of his inner screams, the pain he has been feeling since Nacus put Rushu''s flowers in his mouth is too unbearable! He has been about to lose consciousness several times, but every time he feels like he is going to pass out, he bites the tip of his tongue, which makes him recover his mind.


    While enduring the pain, he sees that without warning a fog enters his house, he can barely keep his eyes open, but still he sees that the fog is approaching him and, without delaying a second, all the fog begins to enter his body. Surprisingly, the pain he was feeling disappears just when the fog enters his body, but his sight turns completely red, his body that until now could not move due to the intense pain begins to tremble aggressively, when Rus thought the pain was gone, a wave of heartbreaking pain suddenly invades him, the pain is so strong that he can no longer contain his scream!


    "Grrrroooowwwwww!!"


    As if a dragon were roaring, Rus breathes heavily, all the surrounding mist finishes entering his body and, as if all his force had been drained, falls to the ground on his back. His sight recovers, seeing everything normally, he looks at the body at his side with an expression of confusion, since he can barely recognize what Fatri body is supposed to be, since the condition of the body is very unpleasant! All of Fatri''s skin is attached to the bones as if he had no flesh in his body! Rus looks at Nacus'' body in the distance and also sees that he looks the same as Fatri.


    With great effort he tries to stand up, Rus has some fear about everything that is happening, he does not know how Nacus and Fatri died, but one sure thing is that if they find the corpses of the two in his house, the chances are that he is sentenced to death!


    Just when he was getting up, he sees that his hair is a different color, it''s red! Since his hair is so long that he can even cover his eyes with it, it is not difficult for him to realize something that is too obvious, Rus quickly thought it was blood stuck in her hair, but after a little thought, it makes no sense that all your hair is so red! With his right hand, he touches his hair and feels that it is not wet at all! In fact, he feels that his hair is very dry and soft as if he had washed it, it is completely different from how he had it before, since his hair was very greasy due to how dirty it was.


    "What exactly happened to me?" Rus wonders with much confusion marked on his face.


    ...


    In another place of the tribe, far from Rus'' house, in the largest house in the whole tribe, where there are many incredibly detailed black dragon statues placed in each part of the house, inside the house there is a large hall, In the middle of this hall there is a man sitting majestically looking at all the people who are kneeling in front of him with cold eyes. This man is Krum, the head of the Kellai tribe. He has long black hair that reaches his back, his pupils are black like obsidian, all races of the dragon god of darkness have these same characteristics, but Krum looks much more imposing than the rest of the Kellai tribe who They are in the hall.


    "Have any of you found the cause of all that red fog that covered the entire tribe?" Krum says while his finger constantly touches the chair with small black dragon statues on the sides.


    A man in robust armor with metal parts says "We only know that it is probably caused by the mountain of Rushu flowers, but what I can''t explain is the roar of the dragon that was heard just now."


    "I understand... Keep investigating the cause of everything, including that roar" Krum doesn''t want to let this matter go by, it''s been a long time since a dragon was seen near the tribe since all the pure-blooded dragon are too proud to be close to the races of the dragon gods.

 4 Drop of strange blood

    After resting a few minutes, Rus looked at his body with emotion. Before he had a very thin body because he ate almost nothing during the day, only the soup that the guards gave him every morning before going to the mountain. Now he has a muscular body as if he had been training his body for years to become in a warrior


    Although he doesn''t know what happened in the last minutes, he has something else to worry about and that is what he is going to do with the corpses of Nacus and Fatri. Anyway, Rus does not understand what made them become such dry things devoid of flesh and blood, although he believes it is probably due to the red fog.


    "Let''s see... it''s still dark outside and after such a long time I doubt the night guards are coming" Rus says pensively, walks slowly from one corner to another thinking about what to do "Hmmm?" Then Rus realizes something! The red stones that he was going to sell to Goro he does not see anywhere in his house, with some hesitation he decides to check the armor of the two corpses, but in the end he finds nothing, not even weapons or money "What did they think to decide to come without weapons to my house?" Rus wonders, his expression changes to one of understanding when he realizes that perhaps the two did not think that something dangerous would happen when they came to his house, although even if they had come with weapons it might not have been of any use.


    "Why aren''t my stones?" Rus tries to think where the stones can be, he remembers the red fog and then thinks of the stones that are also red... "C-could it be that the stones have also become that red fog?"


    "Sigh, at least I''m alive, I have to be grateful that it''s very rare for someone from the tribe to come to my house since it''s in the most desolate part of the tribe..." Rus used to hate walking for more of 10 minutes to get to his house and not only that, but he also has to endure the eyes of the people of the tribe who look at him as if he were a strange beast, basically as if they were of a different species.


    Given that he does not have to worry about someone coming to his house, he decides to bury the corpses under his house. The reason he buries them in his house is because although he lives in a desolate place, There is still a chance that a guard may decide to appear suddenly and discover him just when he is burying the corpses! Anyway, the wooden floor of his house has boards that can be removed very easily.


    Concerned that a guard by chance comes to check his house, he rushes to find a place in his house that is suitable for burying the corpses, after taking a quick look. He approaches a corner of his house and tries to remove a board from one of the corners where he can put his hands. Rus uses all his strength since although the boards can be easily removed, he remembers that they weigh a lot "Haa!" With a little shout. He lifts the board, Unexpectedly, the board nailed to the wall causing a lot of noise.


    "???" With a puzzled look, he looks at the board that is nailed to the wall for a few seconds "Seriously, what happened to my body?" Rus swallows nervously since he doesn''t know if with all the noise he is causing he can really attract a night guard.


    He approaches the board that is nailed and he sees that it has something strange, there are bloodstains on the board, he looks more closely and sees that the spots have the form of palms, Rus is totally convinced that he didn''t see any blood stains when he looked at the board before lifting it and nailing it by mistake on the wall. He also looks at his hands in case there has been an injury while lifting the board, but sees that his hands are intact.


    Hoping there are no more surprises, he sees with a blank stare that suddenly the blood that is on the board begins to move as if he were trembling. He steps back a few steps with fear of the board because he doesn''t want something dangerous to happen again. Rus sees the blood stop moving when he goes back more than 3 steps. With a look of doubt, he gets a little closer to the board, he sees that the blood begins to move again, he goes back 3 steps again... Rus continues to do the same for a minute until he is convinced that the blood it has something to do with him and that only when he is less than 3 steps from the blood does it move as if it had life.


    With some hesitation, he decides to bring his hand to the board because there is something inside him that tells him that the blood will not hurt him, even so, he will be very careful in case he sees that the blood does something strange. As soon as his right-hand approaches only a few centimeters from the board, the blood that was shaking a little suddenly jumps into his hand, he withdraws his hand as fast as he can, but in the end the blood manages to fall into his hand, Rus freezes in fear while breathing hard, he looks at his hand and sees that the blood accumulates in a small drop in his hand. He stares at the drop waiting for what it will do next, but the drop does not move at all, unable to bear to spend more time watching the drop of blood, slightly deflects his eyes, but feels that something slowly slips into his hand, he approaches his hand to his eyes and observes that the drop stops moving just when he looks at it.


    "Could it be that this drop of blood is playing with me? Does the drop have a life?"


    He looks back at the drop without moving his eyes, as he expected, the drop stops moving, Rus slowly moves his eyes to check his suspicions, with his eyes moving to the left, the drop moves to the left at the same rate he moves his eyes "...Interesting" Says Rus looking at the drop of blood with interest.


    Rus already has a small indication that gout has no life, but he thinks gout moves as he wishes. In one last attempt, he thinks about moving the drop to the tip of his index finger, but this time he looks at his feet, when he feels something slips in his hand, he quickly looks at his index finger and, as Rus expected. The drop of blood really moved to the tip of his finger like if it followed his orders!


    Concentrated totally on the drop of blood, suddenly a very dazzling red light illuminates his entire house, causing Rus to have to close his eyes due to the sudden strong light.


    Rus opens his eyes again, does not understand where that red light comes from, looks at his finger and sees that the drop of blood is nowhere.


    "Kraaaa-kaaa Booommmmm!"


    An extremely loud sound resonates everywhere, he felt for a moment that his heart stopped beating due to the unexpected sound, Rus soon remembers that it is the sound "A roar of the dragon god of thunder?" He then remembers something that has made him suffer for the past 5 years! "I-it can''t be, it''s rain!"


    Since he started living in this house, the biggest problem he has had is when the dragon god of thunder decides to make it rain throughout the area, since his house has many holes that allow rainwater to enter without obstacles. That''s why although Rus says "house" it is really the place where the people of the tribe threw their old clothes, there are only 4 walls with an old wooden door that definitely does not serve to protect the house against any kind of intruders, the best example is that Nacus and Fatri entered his house without him noticing...

    "Plic Plic Ploc!"


    In fact, it starts to rain heavily, many drops of water enter through the holes in the roof of his house. Rus frowns, he sees how all things get wet inside his house, with a bitter look, he observes how water begins to accumulate on the ground, thinks about the corpses and with quick steps he approaches the corner of his house where he removed the previous board. As he knows, he is much stronger than before, he carefully lifts the boards, after removing some boards, he looks around to find something to help he dig a hole where he can place both corpses.


    But instead of finding something to help him dig a hole, he sees a figure completely covered in black clothes...


    Rus is not going to lie, he almost passes out when he sees the figure until he remembers that this figure belongs to Goro, who is the one who told him that he wants to buy the red stones from him.


    "...What did you happen?" Goro says he has a very serious voice. A moment ago he entered Rus'' house to buy the mana stones of blood, since he cannot steal them from the mountain of Rushu flowers because strangers who are not from the Kellai tribe cannot enter due to a very annoying magic barrier which makes those who try to enter the mountain is attacked by a wave of beasts with a power comparable to that of a dragon magician''s apprentice.


    The source of his question is that Goro saw 2 things that left him speechless, the first is that there are two corpses on the ground and the second is the appearance of Rus. He clearly sees that the boy has red hair and eyes. Goro is sure that he is not mistaken because of the darkness because although he cannot see in the dark since his race is not from the dragon god of darkness, he can still use a simple spell that allows him to see in the dark.


    Rus does not know what to answer to Goro, he is not convinced that Goro believes him if he tells him that it has nothing to do with everything that happened and, of course, that he did not kill the two people who are on the floor of his house...

 5 Water spell

    With the sound of raindrops falling all over the house, Rus finishes explaining to Goro what happened in the last minutes, deliberately omitted everything about the drop of blood, since he feels that it is something very important and that he should not tell him to anybody. He still needs to investigate much more about that drop of blood. The only thing Rus told Goro was that due to a red mist that came out of nowhere and entered his body, his hair changed to red. Another thing he said was that his strength improved a little, making his body go from being very thin to what it is now.


    Goro silently looks at Rus'' face to see that the boy is not lying to him, sees the sincerity in his eyes, although he believes that there are some things that Rus is not telling him, he does not care much about Rus''s affairs. Goro can see that it is true that the body of the child changed a lot, something he did not realize when he entered the house a while ago "Then you say that thanks to you, the whole tribe was covered by that red fog that then entered your body... I guess you can never predict what will happen on the continent of the dragon gods" Says Goro with a tone in a thoughtful voice, he points to his dark blue eyes of his face full of wrinkles and scars with a messy white beard and says "There is something you did not include in what you told me and that your eyes are also red"


    "Are my eyes red?" Rus blinks confused when he hears what Goro says, then he realizes that he lost all the characteristics that relate him as one of the races of the dragon god of darkness "Ugh, if I have this appearance, it is possible that the tribe decides to treat me as an invader of another race of an unknown dragon god and if that happens they may end up killing me..." Although it may seem silly to be killed for having the hair and eyes of a different color, Rus knows very well that he is not welcome in the tribe, although they act as if he did not exist, at least they do nothing to him because he inherited the traits of the races of the dragon god of darkness, if they see that he has different traits than those of the races of the dragon god of darkness the least they will do is throw him out of the tribe!


    "That may be possible, I have long heard that the people of the Kellai tribe hate the races of other dragon gods and that the only races they accept are the races of the dragon god of darkness" Says Goro. He looks at Rus with curiosity, he realizes that this child is very interesting. Although he seems to be under 16 years old... No, now he seems to be 18 years old with his current appearance. With the few words he heard from Rus, he noticed that this child is very different from children of his age, he is very intelligent, that is really rare for children of his age and more if they are children of a tribe where education It is much more combat-oriented. He already researched some things about Rus''s past because he was looking for someone useful for obtaining the mana stones of blood and Rus proved to be the perfect person for that job. According to his research, he knows that Rus had a good education because he was the son of the former chief of the Kellai tribe. The only children who have seen that they can beat Rus in intelligence are the children of the different magical families in their country, they all receive the best education after their third birthday.


    Rus removes the rainwater that slides down his face and says "Sigh, I guess I can only prepare for the worst. For now, I have to get rid of these corpses, oh, and I don''t know if I can look for more red stones from now on... "He smiles helplessly for not being able to sell the stones to Goro since if he doesn''t have the money there is no way to survive in another country without money.


    "Hmmm, the rainwater that enters your house is bothering you, isn''t it? Let me take care of that." Goro raises his right hand until his hand is at chest level, he opens his hand completely and a blue light suddenly appears in the palm. Rus sees that the light is a very beautiful blue flame, from the flame come small blue lights that float towards the ceiling. Rus sees that the light is a very beautiful blue flame, from the flame come small blue lights that float towards the ceiling. Rus notices that the raindrops stop falling from the ceiling from one moment to the next! He looks closely at the ceiling and sees that all the holes are covered by semi-transparent blue stones, but the interesting thing is that he sees that the stones have ripples that appear from time to time, such as when he sees a drop fall on a puddle of water "Finished, the rain won''t bother you anymore" Goro says as the blue flame disappears in his hand as if he had never been there.


    "Is that a spell? Are you a magician!?" Rus says with bright eyes of emotion. He remembers that the only time he saw magic was many years ago when his mother used some basic spells that taught her in the magical academy of the country of the dragon god of light.


    Goro smiles and says "Hahaha if I''m a magician? They are just basic water spells, anyone can learn any magic shop in my country, if I were a magician, I promise you I would not be in this place"


    "Spells that can be learned without going to a magic academy?" Rus says with an expression of disbelief, he continues speaking "Can you cast spells but you''re not a magician?"


    With a bitter smile, Goro says "Becoming a magician is more than learning some spells... Let''s put that problem aside because it doesn''t seem appropriate to have 2 corpses in your house, right? Let me take care of them and I''ll also give you some things I should have given you a month ago, it was my mistake not to have thought of some details"


    "Eh? Are you going to take care of the corpses and also give me some free stuff?" Rus says looking at Goro with surprise and hesitation. It''s not that he hasn''t thought about asking Goro for help, but after all, Rus doesn''t want to owe anyone any favors, since the death of his parents because the tribe wanted his father''s power, he had no contact with other people. In addition to some guards who did not treat him particularly well. For that reason, he prefers not to have much contact with people, he fears that they will end up betraying him for greed and he thinks that favor is almost the same as having something very valuable that could incite Goro to betray him one day.


    Goro looks seriously at Rus and says "It''s not free, your priority is to get more mana stones of blood, they are very important to me, although I will still buy you all the stones you get and before you ask. I know you want to know the which is why I don''t buy the mana stones of blood of your tribe, it''s because they can''t do it, they are only allowed to sell the stones to the country of the dragon god of light and the price of a mana stones of blood in the country of the dragon god of light is too exorbitant!"


    "Mana stones of blood?" Rus asks with doubts, until now he always told him red stones because there was never anyone to tell him the name of the stones, not even his parents when they were still alive and the guards also called him red stones. Could it really be that the name of the stones is something secret? Or is it just that those guards are so dumb that they don''t know what the stones are called? He will never know since those guards are dead in his house... That the stones can only be sold to the country of the dragon god of light is something he did not know and also the high price they can have. But at least that solves a question he had for weeks.


    "This is how they tell the stones produced by the Kellai tribe in my country, in other countries it may have a different name" Goro keeps talking "It''s time for me to go, boy ... No, Rus, you seem like an interesting person, so I''ll lend you something that I consider precious, I hope you can return it intact later" He puts his right hand on his forehead and slowly removes it. From the front of Goro slowly an object of rectangular shape comes out, the rectangle is flat, it only has 4 corners "This is a magic card, there are only 3 countries that sell it, they are incredibly expensive, it was given to me by an old friend who died a long time ago and it is used for what you are about to see" Rus looks curiously at the magic card, then sees with daze that Goro''s face melts "W-what!?" He is so surprised that he shouts involuntarily but sees something else that leaves him speechless, Goro''s face that once was that of an old man who seemed to have gone through countless battles now is the face of a man who seems to be under 30!


    "Surprised? This is my true appearance, this card serves to hide the person''s appearance, changes all the traits of the head and, of course, that also includes the color of the hair and eyes" Goro takes off the hood that covers his hair Rus sees that Goro''s hair is dark blue and, combined with his dark blue eyes, Rus understands that Goro is one of the races of the dragon god of the storm! Of course, that means that the country of Goro is the country of the dragon god of the storm, one of the 3 strongest countries on the continent of the dragon gods.

    "With this magic card you no longer have to worry about your changes being discovered, the only thing I can''t do anything for is your body that has expanded a lot" Goro puts his hand in his black clothes and takes out a small ball from a nail size.

 6 Losing the magic card in less than 1 minute...

    Rus looks curiously at the ball that Goro has in his hand. The color of the ball is green like the scales of some beast snakes that are very common around the mountain of Rushu flowers.


    "This is a pill that is only 1 step away from becoming a magic pill, unfortunately this type of pill can''t become a magic pill, its name is Nahiss, it is made with blood, bone dust and heart of a Nahiss marine beast" Goro''s deep dark blue eyes look at the pill as if he remembered something from a long time ago "The Nahiss are sea beasts without any magic in their bodies, the only thing that makes them important is every part of their body that contains a potent poison that makes the heart of a person who consumes a part of a Nahiss''s body stop beating forever"


    "Amazing! It''s a very dangerous poison! W-why do you want to give me that dangerous pill?" Rus looks with fear at the pill he once thought was something magical like the magic card. On the other things that Goro says, he prefers not to ask, Rus knows that in the continent of the dragon gods there are many incredible things and it is not always good to ask what each new thing he hears means.


    Goro looks at Rus'' face with fun, he wonders what this child thinks about the pill "The poison in the body of a Nahiss is indeed dangerous, luckily most of the dangerous properties disappear when the pill is created" Goro stretches his arm and says "I give you this pill, its effects are to make the heart and mind of those who consume it always in a state of tranquility for more than 5 days, I don''t have any more pills, so do your best to get at least 10 stones before the end of the 5 days "With a guilty smile, he continues talking "Hmmm, I don''t know why I didn''t give it to you before if I already knew some racial skills of the races of the dragon god of darkness, in fact, I brought this pill specifically to avoid being discovered due to my heartbeat when I tried to steal the mana stones of blood. Sigh, I always had the problem of forgetting some important things..."


    Rus looks at the pill in Goro''s left hand, he then looks at the magic card in his other hand, in front of him there are 2 different objects that can help him get out of here easily, he closes his eyes thinking about what to do, then a few seconds, he reopens his eyes with a determined look, he then says "I will take the 2 things, although I cannot allow you to also take care of the corpses, I promise you that I will pay you the pill in the future and I will return the magic card in 5 days without a single scratch" Rus understands that he can be a bit stubborn by not accepting all of Goro''s help, but he still doesn''t want to owe Goro too much, he takes the magic card and the pill from Goro''s hands.


    "Oh? You don''t want me to help you with the corpses? The truth is that no matter where you hide them, it will be useless and much less if you try to hide them under your house" Goro walks slowly to where the dry bodies of Fatri and Nacus are and points to them "The body of each member of the Kellai tribe has a tracking spell, although it is only a tracking spell of the weakest and easiest level to destroy that can be found on this continent. Anyway, even if it''s a tracking spell that is easy to destroy, I still need a lot of time to destroy it, since I''m not even an apprentice magician dragon"


    With an expression of disbelief from what he just heard, Rus says "If all the members of the tribe have this tracking spell on their bodies, does that mean I have it too?"


    "No, at first I also thought it was a strange thing, I know they treat you like you don''t exist in this tribe, so it''s normal that they didn''t think about putting a tracking spell on your body. You probably had a strong tracking spell before, but the spell It disappears when the person who put it dies" Goro shakes his head, prefers not to continue talking about that issue "Since you understand the consequences of what can happen if you leave the bodies here, you don''t care if I take them away, right? Oh, and what you told me about owing me something, don''t worry about it, you just need to bring me the stones, that will be enough" He lifts the 2 corpses, one on each arm "It''s amazing how these corpses weigh absolutely nothing, I guess that''s how a body that has no flesh and is just skin and bones weighs"


    "Well..." Rus can only clench his teeth as he can''t do anything to avoid owing Goro a favor "Sigh, are you going out with those 2 corpses in your arms? Don''t you think it''s dangerous if they see you?"


    "If there were a rank 1 dragon magician, it would surely be impossible for me to hide with 2 corpses in my arms" Goro approaches the door and opens it without any difficulty. Rus looks helplessly at the door that should protect him from intruders, the worst thing is that Goro opened the door without making a single sound and with 2 corpses in his arms! "I will come in 5 days, I hope everything goes well. You asked me how I was going to hide with 2 corpses in my arms, right? Well, here is the answer" He leaves the house and drops all the rain on his body "It really is a stroke of luck that it is raining today since it is the only condition to use this skill of my race"


    Rus sees with surprise how the rainwater that falls on Goro''s body accumulates in his body and begins to glow slightly blue, soon Goro''s entire body, including corpses, becomes completely invisible!


    He looks enviously at Goro''s incredible racial skill, which is to become invisible on rainy days, although he seems to have contact with the rain.


    Shaking his head quickly, Rus closes the door of his house and looks around silently.


    "What do I do now?" Rus feels somewhat strange to see that everything is calmer, he can barely process everything that has happened in less than 1 hour.


    He looks at the magic card and the pill "Is it a good idea to use them now?" Rus sees the magic card in detail: the back of the card has the symbol of an eye and the front of the card has the drawing of a face without characteristics "Wait, Goro never taught me how to use this card! Should I try to put it on my forehead? ...eh?" He sees that where his fingers touch the magic card, some thin red lines move slowly across the card.


    With an empty look, Rus sees how the magic card fills with red lines until it turns completely red, and he easily deduces that those red lines have to do with the drop of blood from before.


    As if that wasn''t enough, the magic card that is now red melts in his hand and disappears along with the red lines.


    "..."


    Rus'' eyebrows tremble at not knowing how to react to what just happened with the magic card, think about what he told Goro, that he would return the magic card without a single scratch, just when he was about to start hitting everything around him in frustration. His red hair changes color and turns completely black. That''s not all, Rus feels some pain in the bones, with a dazed look he sees his limbs grow a little.


    He can already say that it is the strangest night he has had in his life, he looks at his new height "I probably grew about 5 centimeters, I think my height was about 1.75 m" Rus does not remember very well how tall he was before, he never really cared to know his height.


    Rus thinks about the effects of the card, it is supposed to be used to change the characteristics of the head, but he sees that his body also changed and he has another very important question. Can he return to his previous appearance?


    The pain in his bones comes back when he finishes thinking about returning to his previous appearance, his height returns to what it was before and his hair is black again "I think my eyes also change color, I just can''t see it" Rus thanks his hair for being so long, because that is why he realized almost all the changes he has had in the last hour.


    Knowing how the card''s skill works, Rus can only shake his head and think at another time how to return the magic card to Goro. He looks at the Nahiss pill in his left hand, he doubts if he should swallow it now or tomorrow.


    "Boy, open the door, we have to ask you some things!"


    Thinking about what to do with the pill, he suddenly hears the voice of a man outside his house, his heart starts beating rapidly from his nerves, Rus does not understand why someone is knocking at his door at this time, he thought that already It was all over for tonight, but... Could it be that more things will happen on this crazy night?


    Without hesitation, he swallows the pill, he immediately feels something hot in the stomach. His heart that recently was beating at a very fast pace, now beats much slower, to the point that it almost seems to stop beating, his mind also feels calmer, as if there is nothing that makes him feel nervous.


    "Pom, pom!"

    "I told you to open the door, if you don''t open it I will destroy it!"


    Rus breathes deeply and walks slowly to where the door is, looks at his body for the last time and sees that everything is in order, the only thing different in him is that he is not as thin as before, but that is something unimportant and he doubts that there is someone from the tribe who notices.


    He open the door and look at the person who is screaming; a middle-aged man, the man is bald, but has a very neglected black beard, the man has a black armor like the one Nacus had, only this man has a spear on his back. With a calm mind and heart. Rus says "What do you need so late at night? Maybe you want me to go to the mountain to find more stones?"

 7 Ceger

    The man in front of him with drops of water sliding all over his body due to the rain is Ceger, one of the guards who are responsible for giving him some food every day and telling him when Rus should go to the mountain. Although there are times when he does not bring food for a few days and it has already happened several times that Ceger decides to come earlier than usual to force him to look for more stones.


    "Huh? How weird, I didn''t think you''d talk to me and more with that calm tone. I thought you only talked when you needed us to give you something to eat, whatever, that doesn''t matter right now" Ceger looks at Rus with a look. disinterested "It would be good for the economy of the tribe if you go to the mountain to look for more stones and stop wasting time sleeping. But this time I am here for something more than just bringing you food. There is a pure-blooded dragon that is apparently close of the tribe or within the tribe"


    "Pure-blooded dragon? What is that?" Rus asks with confusion, it is the first time he hears something about a pure-blooded dragon. Another thing that his parents did not teach him... Rus, who now has a calm mind due to the pill, he realizes a very important detail regarding his current situation; The roof holes are still covered with the magic of Goro! If Ceger enters his house and sees the roof, it can be really problematic. Rus does not know how he will explain something like that and it would be even worse if he is associated with something related to that pure-blooded dragon that seems very important to the tribe.


    "A useless slave like you who is only alive to look for stones does not need to know what a pure-blooded dragon is" Ceger looks inside Rus'' house, he came to this place only by obligation, but he doesn''t think there''s anything like a pure-blooded dragon hiding in a house with only 4 walls like this "Hmmm? Since when is this place so good is it capable of preventing rain from entering?" He was going to look at the ceiling, but suddenly he feels that something hot comes out of his nose. Ceger touches under his nostrils with his right hand, sees that his hand has some blood.


    Rus was thinking of a way to prevent Ceger from looking at the roof of his house, but from one moment to another his body begins to feel very hot. Knowing that it is not time to worry about another strange change in his body, he looks at Ceger to talk to him and try to convince him in some way not to enter his house. But he sees that Ceger''s nose is bleeding and the most curious thing is that when he looks at the blood, his body gets even hotter.


    "...What the hell?" Ceger does not understand what happens to his body that makes his nose bleed suddenly. Anyway, his body has always been the most important thing for him, so he will not waste any more time in this place "I already verified that there is nothing here, I need to go to the tribe doctor to check me, damn it. Now I have to pay that annoying old man 10 solyss! That''s half of what I earn in a month... "He turns around with quick steps as he talks to himself ignoring the presence of Rus. Then he stops, turns his head and tells Rus "I already noticed that your body has changed a little, it seems that you are eating well elsewhere, so do not expect me to bring you more of that soup, it is very annoying to make that soup" With those words, Ceger walks away in the middle of the darkness and the rain, disappearing completely from the sight of Rus.


    "Okay..." Rus says while watching Ceger leave, he doesn''t understand what just happened, he closes his eyes to think about everything that happened "Yes, it''s definitely something more related to the strange changes that happened to me in the body" Regarding his more robust body, he can''t do anything, before opening the door he tried to change his physique to be thin as before, but unfortunately it had no effect, the only thing that changed was his height and the color of his eyes and hair


    "Sigh" With a sigh, he closes the door, he takes a few steps around his house while thinking about some things. Rus understands that his body has changed a lot and for some reason, his blood has something special. He thinks of Ceger''s nosebleed when Rus was thinking about what to do to prevent Ceger from seeing the ceiling, he started to bleed from his nose, that means that at least the blood inside his body follows his will and desires, or so he believes.


    Suddenly he feels some pain in his body, his complexion becomes pale, while he tries to stand up, Rus sees that his hair recovers its red color like blood, then, without enduring more, he throws himself into his bed without energy in his body "Ugh, how lucky I was near the bed..." Rus says with a tired expression, he really didn''t want to fall to the floor. He then feels very sleepy, but before he succumbs to the dream, he thinks about the reason why his body is in this state, after thinking a little, he quickly concludes that he cannot use the magic card''s skill for a long time, he can probably only use the skill for less than 5 minutes "What is the use of using the skill for only 5 minutes?..." Rus wonders while closing his eyes and falls asleep.


    ...


    A few hours later, Rus opens his eyes slowly, sunlight enters through the holes in the ceiling, he has to raise his hand to cover his face due to the strong light. He sits on his bed with an unfocused look, he clearly remembers everything that happened at night, but he also doubts if everything was real "Could it really have been a dream?" Rus looks at the board that is on the wall nailed "No..." Knowing that everything is real, he organizes his goals in his mind, he needs to gather the mana stones of blood. Yesterday, Rus failed in his plan because Nacus and Fatri noticed that his heart was beating very fast, proving that he was hiding something, but now that Rus swallowed Nahiss''s pill, he no longer has to worry about something like that.


    Another thing that Rus wants to do is to know the secrets of his body, he knows that for some reason he can absorb objects such as the magic card in his body, there is also the skill that made Ceger''s nose bleed, helping him prevent Ceger from seeing the ceiling and discovering the magic of Goro.


    "Magic of Goro..." He quickly looks at the ceiling and observes that there are no more traces of the spell cast by Goro "So a spell does not last forever, I understand" Rus gets up from his bed, he feels some weakness in his body, It seems that he did not fully recover from the consequences of using the card''s skill.


    He is surprised that although he feels that his body is weak, he is still not hungry and he remembers that he was very hungry before all these strange things happened. Without thinking about it, Rus knows that he has to get out fast and go to the mountain, he doesn''t know how much he slept, but he doesn''t care, he remembers that once he woke up too late, as such, some guards beat him up, among those guards was Ceger...


    Without bothering to change clothes, since he always uses the same thing, with quick steps, he approaches the door, before opening it, he realizes that he cannot leave with red hair and eyes. Knowing that he has very little time to use the magic card''s skill, he thinks about changing his hair and eyes to black, Rus sees that his hair changes to his previous color, black like his father''s.


    He quickly leaves his house, runs through the streets of the tribe with agility, runs at full speed, Rus is surprised at his speed, was accustomed to his previous speed and would obviously realize that his current speed is at least twice as fast.


    The people of the tribe who walk around see it as usual, with a look of disgust, but now there is something more than disgust in their eyes, there are curiosity and surprise. They do not understand how that child can run so fast, they are used to seeing that child run through these places every morning to go to the mountain of Rushu flowers, but it is the first time they see him running so fast that they hardly recognize Rus because his figure is somewhat blurred.


    Rus smiles smugly when he sees the expressions of the people of the tribe who always despise him. Then he sees many people running in a group towards the mountain. All are slaves who serve the tribe, every day they must go up and look for stones for 5 hours. Rus, who was in a good mood before, now he has an expression of helplessness to see that even slaves are better treated than he who has to look for stones for 12 hours a day!


    The slaves who run in a group in silence, see that Rus runs very close to where they are, suddenly they look at him with fear, they move away as much as possible from him and let him pass without even daring to look at him.


    Rus smiles bitterly, he is already accustomed to the slaves being afraid of him, 3 years ago they were nicer to him, there was even a slave with whom he got along particularly well, a 13-year-old boy with short and messy hair. That boy was called Huriz, a boy with a cheerful personality who always smiled when he talked to him, one day, the guards realized that Rus was too friendly with Huriz, they only told Rus to stay away from slaves, but to Huriz... The next day that boy of only 13 years did not return to the mountain again, he died, the guards killed him in a terrible beating. Rus was not very affected by Huriz''s death, he was not a friend of Rus or something, he was only a child with whom he spoke from time to time, but that increased his desire to leave the tribe and also made his desire to take revenge on the tribe even stronger.


    Stop thinking about things from the past and increase your speed since you don''t have much time because your body feels increasingly tired, indicating that the magic card''s skill is running out.

    In just 3 minutes, Rus arrives at the door of the tribe, where some guards are handing out the bags used to store the stones. One of those guards with an imposing figure sees Rus who has just arrived and with a somewhat cold tone says "Boy, since yesterday there is no trace of Nacus and Fatri, do you know anything about them? I''m sure you were the last to see them, then you must know something"

 8 Clafall tribe

    With the gaze of the other guards on him, Rus does not hesitate to respond quickly, as he may seem suspicious if he takes a long time thinking about his answer, in a somewhat low voice, he says "I don''t know anything about them, I just remember to give Fatri the bag of stones and go home quickly. That''s all"


    The guard who asked Rus about the whereabouts of Fatri and Nacus, approaches Rus looking at him with narrowed eyes, with less than 10 centimeters between them, he asks again "Are you sure you don''t know anything?" Rus nods slowly, he does not know what would have happened if he had not swallowed the pill, because he is sure that his heart at this moment would be beating very intensely.


    "Hahahaha stop playing with that useless and come fight with me because I know you wanted a rematch duel since you lost the previous one very quickly!" One of the guards says with a smile, he seems to be very friendly with the guard who is questioning Rus.


    "Oh! Are they really going to fight again? This time I''m going to bet 2 solyss on Rukbo!"


    "Are you an idiot? Obviously, Shail is going to win, the last time he lost was because Rukbo took advantage that he was sick that day!"


    Soon, almost all the guards began to talk hotly about the fight between Rukbo and Shail.


    "...Well, take" Seeing that he can no longer escape from having a duel with Rukbo again, Shail gives the bag to collect the stones to Rus and says "If Fatri still does not appear for when you leave the mountain, give the bag to Jabbe" He points to a tall man with many muscles and a serious look. The man is standing with his eyes closed without showing the slightest intention of wanting to join the other guards to speak.


    Rus, who feels that his body feels more and more exhausted, takes the bag and runs as fast as he can without looking a second time at the guards who are talking without worrying about his presence.


    Running along the road that leads to the mountain, Rus already begins to see the petals of the Rushu flowers that fall from the top of the mountain. Breathing hard, he climbs the mountain, he looks closely at the surroundings to avoid being seen by someone, after verifying that there is no one, he throws himself on many flowers Rushu "Ufff, arrive just in time" Rus says as his hair turns red again


    With a pale complexion, he was going to close his eyes and get some sleep. But suddenly his body begins to warm up again as if his skin, flesh, and organs were burning slowly! Rus grimaces in pain, he does not know if it is because of the pain that he is imagining things since he feels that his mind is telling him to look at an exact place under the soil, with effort he looks at the place that points his mind, slowly brings his hand to that place, as if he was putting his hand in icy water, he feels that his whole arm that is close to the place that points his mind cools, giving him a feeling of tranquility that he had never felt before.


    Wanting to feel the same sensation throughout his body, Rus crawls as fast as possible to the place that gives him that feeling of tranquility and causes his body to stop feeling hot "Wooaa, it feels amazing..." His pale complexion disappears, regaining his normal state that he had a few minutes ago, his body that was previously very depleted, now feels as if it is full of energy.


    Knowing that there is something under the soil that helps him recover his energy after having used the magic card''s ability, he quickly digs with his hands where that thing should be, after a few seconds, Rus sees something familiar, the red stone or the mana stone of blood.


    "I should have known, it was more than clear that only this could be under the soil of this mountain" Rus grabs the stone, sees that the stone emits a red smoke that is barely visible, he looks more closely at the stone and he realizes that red smoke is being absorbed by his hand!


    "I think this time I will choose to look around these sides..."


    "Okay, I will climb the mountain a little more to see if there is more luck"


    Rus suddenly hears the voices of some people, he knows that it is the slaves who have already reached him and are already here to look for stones.


    "Problematic ..." Rus says quietly, then remembers that he no longer feels exhausted, so he quickly thinks about changing his hair to black.

    "Hmmm? Ugh" A thin man appears before Rus with completely white clothes that has lost any other color because he has washed too much and with some patches. As soon as that man sees Rus'' face, he walks away with quick steps without giving him a second look. Rus sees that the slave almost falls out of the rush of wanting to get away from him.


    Rus smiles bitterly, from the day he became a stone picker for the tribe, he thought that the tribe treats these slaves better than him, although they are easier to kill if they are wrong. Even so, they have better clothes than he has, another thing is that they only have to search for stones for 5 hours, then they have the rest of the day off, for those reasons he feels some envy, although very little envy, since he does not intend to have a magical seal on his body that totally deprives him of his freedom.


    Apart from that, Rus is surprised that his body that was previously easily weakened by activating the card''s ability, still doesn''t feel fatigue. With the stone in his hand, he looks around the mountain, there are several places near him that his mind indicates that there are definitely buried stones.


    Without deactivating the ability of the magic card in case another slave decides to approach, he spends 1-hour searching in the places that his mind indicates. Rus looks at his bag with joy, he already counted about 20 stones and he only needed 1 hour of searching! It usually takes 12 hours for him to search for those 20 stones.


    Rus grabs one of those stones in his hand, he''s doubting if he should keep the stones in his secret pocket... From what happened with Fatri and Nacus, Rus doesn''t feel very safekeeping them there, but he has no other place to store the stones.


    "...What?" Rus sees that the stone in his hand is covered in blood and in less than 1 second the stone gets into his palm! "No, no, now is not the time to absorb more things!" He did not expect that now the stones can also be absorbed by his body, thinking that he has another problem, he sees that the stone that he thought he would never see again, it comes out slowly from his hand, it almost seems as if he had a hole in his palm!


    Surprised that he did not lose that stone, he quickly realizes the incredible ability he has! To verify his ideas, he thinks about putting that stone inside his hand, as Rus thought, the stone is slowly covered with blood and absorbed by his hand.


    With an expression of surprise and happiness, Rus was going to say something to express his emotion, but an incredibly loud sound suddenly resonates on the mountain!


    "Hoooonnnnkkk!"


    Rus immediately recognizes that sound, it is the sound that the horn makes that warns when there is some kind of incident in the tribe, depending on the tone the horn makes are the different situations that are happening in the tribe, Rus tries to remember what the tone that has just sounded, after a moment, he remembers that it is the tone that occurs when there are many wounded or dead warriors of the tribe.


    He only knows 2 reasons why there can be so many wounded or dead warriors, the first reason is when a pack of very strong beasts attacks the warriors who went out to hunt some beasts so that the people of the tribe can feed. The second reason is when the neighboring tribe decides to launch a surprise attack against the warriors of the Kellai tribe.


    The neighboring tribe is the Clafall tribe, a tribe that is hundreds of meters from the Kellai tribe, they feel a deep hatred for the Kellai tribe because they are envious that the Kellai tribe owns the mountain of Rushu flowers. It is a story that goes back many years, where the 2 tribes have fought many times for the conquest of the mountain.


    And the worst part is that the Clafall tribe is a tribe formed by one of the races of the dragon god of fire, who has always felt a lot of hatred for the races of the dragon god of darkness. It''s basically a very complex dispute that is impossible to resolve, Rus thinks, shaking his head at the thought of all those things.


    Rus knows that he is not someone who should worry about those things, so keep looking for more stones, occasionally he keeps some stones in his body, leaving at least more than 15 stones in the bag so that the guards do not suspect anything.

 9 Elite warriors of the tribe

    In a street that has several stores of black wood, with different types of objects sold in each store. Among all these stores there is a store with simple clothes with some decorations that are carefully placed on the outskirts of the store waiting to be sold, in front of this store there is a boy and a woman who seem to be discussing something.


    "Come here, don''t go near the big door!" A middle-aged woman says with an expression of fear. Her hair is black and gray with some barely noticeable wrinkles on her face. She grabs the hand of a boy who seems to be no more than 12 years old.


    "B-but mom! I want to see the warriors of the tribe who came from hunting beasts. You know that my dream is to be a warrior respected by everyone in the tribe!" The boy says with a serious look as he tries to resist his mother''s grip. Recently he heard the sound of the horn. 2 years ago he was near the big door that leads to the outside accompanying his mother. His mother has a small clothing store that she does herself, his mother''s shop is very close to the big door. At that moment the horn also rang. Only a few minutes after the horn sounded, he saw how the warriors of the tribe entered with an incredibly large dead beast and an intimidating appearance that made him feel very nervous. But that fear disappeared instantly upon seeing how the surrounding people applauded and praised the warriors. Since that day, he has wanted to be like them and be praised by the townspeople after hunting a very big beast.


    People who shop at the other stores look at the mother and boy couple with a confused look, they don''t understand what they are doing and why the boy insists so much on going to the big door.


    "I told you to come here! I had not told you before that this is not the sound to celebrate a good hunt!?" The woman yells at the boy with a nervous tone of voice, she regrets that her age has taken away almost all the strength she was when she was younger because of her low strength, she cannot prevent her son from approaching the big door. The main reason she does not want to approach the big door is that she is afraid to go see the same scene she saw 9 years ago when her husband came to the tribe like a corpse...


    The boy turns his head to look at his mother, with clenched teeth and a determined look, he says "I know it''s not the sound to celebrate a good hunt... But I still have to go and let them know with my presence that even if some of them don''t return to the tribe or if they are so hurt that they can''t go hunting again, that I''m still there to take the place of those brave warriors when I''m old enough to join them!" He manages to release his mother''s grip and runs as fast as he can near the big door that opens slowly.


    The words of that boy made nearby people, whether men, women, and children, be surprised. Soon, some of those who once feared to approach the great gate, since they did not want to see the warriors of the tribe dead or wounded, changed to a certain expression of bravery and walked with quick steps toward the great gate.


    The boy''s mother is surprised to hear her son''s words. She sighs and also walks in the direction of the great door. She wonders if her son would continue to think alike if she had told him that his father was a warrior before and that the same sound resonated throughout the tribe on the day of his death. Her son still doesn''t know the truth because until now she has been trying her best to convince her neighbors to avoid telling her son something related to his father. She only told her son that his father died of an illness 3 years after his birth.


    ...


    The boy sees that the door has finally finished opening, he was prepared to applaud the returning warriors, but what he sees makes him unable to move his hands, even his voice cannot come out, in front of him, in the great door where At least 30 warriors were supposed to enter, there is only 1 warrior who can barely move due to the wounds he has, the wounded warrior walks with the help of 2 guards...


    "Everyone get out of here! It''s a direct order from the chief of the tribe, nobody can be here!" A man with a very imposing red armor and a spear on his back say. The armor seems to be of better quality than the armor that the guards accompany the wounded warrior have. In the armor, there is an emblem of the head of a black dragon. Behind him is a group of at least 10 men with similar armor.


    "T-they are the elite warriors of the tribe!" Suddenly, someone shouts from the crowd, when everyone hears the words ''elite warrior of the tribe'', their expressions change to one of alarm and fear, parents carry their children and walk away quickly, other people also run without thinking twice.


    The boy looks angrily at people who call themselves elite warriors, but he knows very well that these people are the worst that could have existed in the tribe since the previous chief of the tribe was killed 5 years ago. They treat any of the tribe as they want, they beat the women, they demand the people of the tribe to give them money every month, since they supposedly do too much for the tribe and, therefore, must be rewarded... He wouldn''t care much if they are only asking for taxes, but that money is only used by them.


    The boy''s mother sees that her son has an expression of anger, shakes her head and takes her son''s hand "...Reo, come, we can''t stay here any longer or we''ll be in trouble" The boy''s name is Reo, look at his mother and nod. Reo looks for the last time at that warrior who can barely stand up. With a look that shows he is thinking very deep things for someone his age, he clenches his fist tightly. Reo promises that he will become strong enough to avoid a disaster like the one that happened today in which more than 30 warriors died.


    ...


    The elite warrior who has just spoken that seems to be the leader of the elite warrior group approaches the wounded warrior with a grim look, looks at the 2 guards and says "They no longer need to be here, we will take care of the rest" The 2 guards stop holding the wounded warrior, nod their heads, turn around leaving the tribe and slowly close the great door.


    "You 2, carry him to the boss''s house" Says the leader of the elite warriors to 2 of the elite warriors of the 10 behind him.


    "Yes!" The 2 elite warriors walk with quick and orderly steps until they are next to the wounded warrior, they try to lift the warrior with their arms, but the warrior uses his arms to keep the 2 men away. "N-no, I-I can walk alone..." He says with difficulty while his complexion is incredibly pale and his body sweats everywhere in large quantities.


    The leader of the elite warriors looks at the warrior without expression, sees that the warrior''s black armor is very broken, he also sees that he has many deep wounds that still have fresh blood, the emblem of a two-headed black dragon that all warriors have on their chests is totally destroyed... "We can''t waste any more time here, the chief of the tribe wants to tell you quickly about what happened out there"


    The warrior frowns at this man who is well known among the warriors of the tribe, Onsul, the most tyrannical leader among all elite warriors. It can be said that it is the right hand of the chief of the tribe and one of the key people who helped in the murder of the former chief of the tribe "Sigh, it''s fine" He lets the 2 elite warriors carry him to the house of the tribal chief.


    Onsul walks quickly to the house of the chief of the Kellai tribe without looking at his men, he has always followed Krum, even before he became the village chief and that will never change. If that warrior continued to refuse to be carried, he would knock him out and stop wasting time.


    ...


    In a spacious hall, this Krum, the head of the Kellai tribe, is looking without emotion at the man who is kneeling in front of him. His finger touches his chair repeatedly, it is a custom he has that everyone in the hall has known for years.


    "So that''s what happened..." Krum says that with a tone of voice that makes it hard for everyone to breathe well, his tone is full of anger. It turns out that all his warriors that hunted beasts were deceived by the plan of someone from the Clafall tribe. From what he heard of the warrior before him who is covered in wounds, they met a woman with black hair and black eyes, the woman''s body was very malnourished to the point that she seemed close to death, the warriors at seeing the condition of the woman helped her immediately, also what led the warriors to help the woman was her hair color and black eyes, making them think she was a woman of one of the races of the dragon god of darkness. The point is that the woman managed to convince the warriors to follow her to help other people who are also from one of the races of the dragon god of darkness. When the warriors arrived at the place the woman was saying, they were surprised to find a pack of more than 50 beasts! They did everything possible to defend themselves, after a few minutes of a cruel fight, they managed to kill many beasts and scare away the rest of the beasts. They thought that was all, but suddenly the woman''s body exploded, releasing a green smoke that spread everywhere, all the warriors who inhaled the smoke went crazy and the rest was ambushed by a group of enemies of the tribe Clafall


    Krum looks at the man who managed to get out of that attack alive, after a few seconds in silence, he closes his eyes and says "Take this man out of the tribe and kill him. May his death be with a ranged attack"


    "Yes!" Onsul says that without questioning Krum, he appears behind the shadow of the warrior who has a lost and confused look "Wai-!" Before the warrior could say anything, Onsul knocks him out, touches the warrior''s body and immediately disappears into a shadow that is close to him along with the warrior''s body.


    The other people in the hall say nothing about the sudden appearance and disappearance of Onsul, as it is an advanced racial skill of the races of the dragon god of darkness, which makes it possible to move freely anywhere while there are shadows. Although he seems that can move freely regardless of distance, the skill has a radius of 100 meters away.


    Krum prefers to avoid future problems by having that warrior in his tribe if it is true that that woman exploded and threw that kind of green smoke... Then it is possible that this warrior can also do the same since he does not believe it is possible to escape from that situation in which they were surrounded by so many warriors of the Clafall tribe.

    He would understand if that warrior had advanced racial skills, but that is impossible considering that it is quite simple to see when someone evolves to the point of being able to use advanced racial skills, since the most obvious part is that people develop dragon scales on a part of their bodies when they evolve and all people have to pass a weekly check of the whole body to avoid anyone who wants to impersonate a normal warrior when they should being elite warriors. Another reason is also to prevent them from being without proper vigilance since they can try to rebel trying to kill him with their advanced racial skill, as he did 5 years ago...


    Krum opens his eyes and says "In 3 days we will make an attack against the Clafall tribe, I have had enough to tolerate their constant provocations of war" Look at his strongest and most reliable men, among them is also Onsul, who appeared a moment ago from the shadows, clearly Onsul has already taken care of killing that warrior "Gather all men, whether children and adults, even if they only serve as shields of flesh, that is enough and that all warriors are prepared in 2 days at the great door" Krum says while closing his eyes again.


    The people in the hall nod and soon all disappear into the shadows leaving the place in absolute silence.

 10 Country of the dragon god of darkness

    Rus looks at the stone in his hand that has a red glow with a frown. Some time ago he was in a good mood searching for stones since it is very easy to find them because his mind tells him where the buried stones are. Rus kept 25 stones in the tribe''s bag and the rest of the stones he found absorbed them in his body or that is what he planned to do. The reason he frowns is that his body doesn''t want to absorb more stones!


    Find authorized novels in Webnovel£¬faster updates, better experience£¬Please click www.novelhall.com for visiting.


    After his body absorbed 8 stones, he tried to get his body to absorb the stone in his hand, as always the blood covered the stone as he did with the other stones, but after a few seconds, the blood re-entered his body without absorbing the stone.


    "Sigh" Rus stops trying, he is glad to have 8 stones in his body. He looks around with boredom, it''s only been a little over 2 hours since he started searching for the stones. Rus has no plans to collect more stones for the tribe "Hmmm, I think I could find some stones and save them for tomorrow..." Rus says quietly in a thoughtful tone. He still has to wait 10 hours to be able to return to the tribe...


    With the idea of continuing to search for more mana stones of blood so he doesn''t have to waste time searching for them the next day, Rus looks around for a moment "There is nothing here" He is already accustomed to using the ability to search for stones quickly, he knows that where he is, there are no more hidden stones or perhaps they are buried much deeper than his ability can detect.


    Walking among Rushu''s flowers occasionally stepping on some of them, he climbs to the top of the mountain to find a place that has many buried stones. Occasionally, Rus met some slaves who fled shortly after seeing him.


    "It should be fine here..." Rus found a place near the top of the mountain where Rushu''s flowers are most abundant, the wind is stronger than normal causing many petals to float everywhere, there are even petals that stick to his face from time to time.


    Ignoring the petals that fall on his body. Rus bows and begins to dig in a place where his mind reacts very strongly, in fact, he feels that his body heats up more and more as he deepens the soil. Rus looks with surprise at the stone he has just unearthed, the stone is at least 4 times larger than the stones he has always found!


    With a smile forming at the corners of his lips, Rus thinks how much money he can get by selling this stone to Goro, as a child he was taught the value of the different currencies that are handled on the continent of the dragon gods, when his father still he was alive, the currency that was handled in the tribe was the dugor, the main currency used in the already destroyed country of the dragon god of darkness, the dugor was the most expensive coin that could be found in that country.


    When the current chief of the tribe killed his father and took the power of the tribe. The dugor currency ceased to be used and now the currency used in the tribe is the solyss: the solyss is the least valuable currency used in the country of the dragon god of light. At that time, Rus found the sudden currency exchange strange when he saw the guards use them for bets, but he was too sad for the death of his parents to think about that and he also spends half the day on this mountain to investigate that type of changes.


    Remembering the glorious country of the dragon god of darkness, Rus sighs for the devastating fall of that imposing country that now remained in the vestiges of the past. 10 years ago, the most militarily powerful country was the country of the dragon god of darkness. In just one night, the country was destroyed, leaving only a few people who managed to save themselves, since they fled before the country was attacked by the alliance of the 20 countries of the dragon gods, an alliance formed by the 20 most countries powerful of the continent, only to destroy the country of the dragon god of darkness!


    Those people from the country of the dragon god of darkness who was left homeless only had the option of joining the tribes of the dragon god of darkness races. Rus believes there are more things he doesn''t know about what happened that day 10 years ago, but his father, who told him all that, said that was the only public information that can be obtained.


    Rus knows from his mother that the cheapest thing in the country of the dragon god of light is worth more than 5 solyss, although he does not know what the price of the mana stones of blood is, he is convinced that the stone in his hand It is very valuable.


    He keeps the stone in the bag with the idea that tomorrow he will let his body absorb it. Rus keeps looking for more stones for 3 more hours, after a long search he found more than 30 stones! Rus already found a perfect place to hide the stones, with an expression of happiness, he buries all the stones.


    "...What do I do now?" Rus wonders, he has nothing else to do for the next 7 hours. He thinks it would be good if he could return to the tribe with the 25 stones in the bag, but he knows that even if he goes with 40 stones before the end of 12 hours, the guards will make sure that he doesn''t enter the tribe and threaten him with hitting him if he doesn''t keep looking for more stones.


    He is not sleepy or tired, but the best way to spend time is to sleep, although he does not know if he can fall asleep without feeling sleepy. The main reason why Rus is not sleepy is that he has 8 stones in his body that constantly provide him with that red smoke and there are also stones in the bag that do the same. Before, using the magic card''s ability made him feel tired in a matter of minutes, but now the ability is always active without feeling tired at all!


    Rus throws himself on the flowers of Rushu without thinking too much about things like the red fog that comes out of the stones that is something he still does not understand, he looks at the blue sky with a lost look, he has not been able to go to bed looking in the sky without worries for a long time. Although Rus indeed has some important things to do, it is something that will be done over time, not now.


    "Hmmm?" Rus takes a petal of Rushu that fell into one of his eyes, he looks at the petal with a somewhat strange expression. He remembers something that has had him with some doubts. Yesterday, when all his transformation happened because the Rushu flower was in his mouth, it makes Rus think it''s weird that all this happened just because he had the Rushu flower in his mouth, since he is convinced that there are many more people who they have gone through the same thing and they have not had such changes in their bodies!


    "It could be..." He begins to connect several things that were there that night that made his body change. The main factor is the Rushu flowers in his mouth, the next things that could have served to boost the events of that day are the mana stones of blood, the fact that everything happens at night is important since at night it is when the sky is covered with red clouds that are surely the same red clouds that looked like fog that entered his house to finally enter his body.


    Rus thinks about the other things that were there that night "Let''s see. Some Rushu flower petals, 5 mana stones of blood, the fog... Ah!" Then Rus realizes something extremely important, the corpses of Nacus and Fatri, the fact that the bodies of the 2 ended up dry as if all the flesh and blood of their bodies had disappeared is possibly what made everything happen! In principle, Rus has noticed that the biggest changes his body has had are that his eyes and hair are red, he used to think it was because both the flowers and the fog are red, but now he thinks that it is related in some way to the blood, since that day he bit the hands of the 2 causing minor injuries that bleed a little and considering that the bodies of the 2 had no blood when he finished all his transformation, possibly all the blood of the 2 has been absorbed by his body!


    Although for now they are only guesses that he himself created from the little he saw that day, possibly some kind of strange ritual was activated when he combined all these events one after another.


    "Wait, I may indeed have completed some kind of ritual by chance, but there is something I can definitely not pass up" The little he knows about the continent is that intelligent living beings on the continent of the dragon gods have different colors of hair and eyes depending on the race of a dragon god that is that race. The fact that he has red hair and eyes means that his race has changed to that of another dragon god that nobody knows!


    Then Rus remembers the story his father told him about a dragon god dying in the mountain of flowers Rushu! "How is it possible that something so important has become a myth!?"

 11 Experimenting with blood

    With bright eyes, Rus thinks about the racial skills of each race, he knows very little about the different racial skills, but he has the feeling that he may have acquired skills that perhaps no one on the continent of the dragon gods knows!


    Rus looks at his hands with a curious look, he remembers the blood on the table that seemed to have a life of its own that took the form of a drop, although Rus still does not know if the drop of blood really has life, at least he is sure that the drop of blood followed all his orders at will.


    "...Can I make that drop of blood reappear? Hmmm, I think I shouldn''t think only of that drop of blood. If I remember correctly, last night when I wanted to try to prevent Ceger from seeing the ceiling, his nose suddenly began to bleed... Then it should be easy to deduce that I probably have some kind of blood control, but I''m not sure how far I can control the blood. For the moment, let''s try to verify if I really have control over the blood and I''m not getting hasty conclusions" Rus says that while looking at the petal of a Rushu flower in his right hand, he releases the petal, letting the wind drag it everywhere, like the many petals that also cover the skies of the mountain, creating an impressive red rain that can only be seen on the mountain of flowers of Rushu.


    With a determined look, he gets up leaving aside his desire to fall asleep while looking at the landscape of the mountain of Rushu flowers. Rus needs power, even if he manages to leave the tribe with the help of Goro, there is still a chance that he will die due to some beast. Also, as far as Rus knows, his mother told him that the exam to enter the magic academy is very difficult and that a certain amount of strength is required. He would like to know more details about the admission test, but that was the only thing his mother told him at the time.


    Then to know more about himself. He looks at the palms of his hands with a serious expression. From the center of each of his palms, a red dot appears, those red dots slowly increase in size until they are as large as the drop of blood he saw at night.


    Rus has a smile and bright eyes on his face because he has just checked that he can really control his blood. He stops smiling and changes his gaze to a serious one again. Rus has no plans to stop yet, he looks at his hands and in a short time his palms begin to appear several red dots that eventually turn into drops of blood, with approximately 10 drops of blood in each hand, Rus thinks what to do with the drops of blood so they can be useful in a battle.


    There are several things that concern Rus, the main thing is that if he can make his blood work for battle, the blood in his hands is liquid and he knows very well that if he wants to hurt with something liquid he needs much more than a few drops of blood. Another thing that Rus worries is that he feels that every time a drop of blood get out his body, his body feels heavy as if the energy of his body is draining quickly, the strange thing is that even the red smoke from the stones that enter his body constantly does not seem to work to recover the energy he is losing!


    "Sigh, I think I should be able to get another 20 drops of blood from my body, but more of that is my limit" Rus feels that if he exceeds the limit of 40 drops of blood, he will not be able to move his body at all due to how tired he will be.


    Rus puts his hands together and thinks about putting all the drops of blood together in a small red ball that reflects a little sunlight. At the moment he will not take more than 20 drops of blood from his body since it is not necessary. Rus looks at the blood ball in his right hand, is thinking about what he should do with it, in the end, he shakes his head with disappointment "...I can''t think of anything I can do to make this blood ball serve as a weapon in a battle, ahhh, if I could only make this solid ball, I would at least use it to throw it at my enemies!" Rus says with a joking tone, he understands that even if the ball is solid as a rock, it will do no good against the weakest beast in the vicinity of the mountain.


    Then, suddenly, Rus feels something solid in his right hand where the blood ball is, he immediately thinks that the blood ball fulfilled his wishes and is now solid! But those thoughts only last 1 second since a great weight appears in his right hand!


    "W-what!?" Rus feels that his legs will not be able to resist the weight, his legs are slightly bent while they tremble at the force he exerts on his legs. He is firmly grasping the blood ball with both his hands, Rus is surprised and happy at the same time, although it is true that he wanted the blood ball to be solid, he did not expect it to be so heavy! Even with his current strength, he still finds it difficult to lift the blood ball, but thanks to the pill are that he is still calm in this kind of situation, Rus thinks about converting the ball from solid to liquid without hesitation.


    "Uff" Rus breathes calmly when he sees that the blood ball becomes liquid again. With sweat on his forehead, he promises to be more careful when experimenting with his blood. Rus already has some ideas about what he can do to make his blood serve as a weapon. It is true that the weight of the blood ball is quite a lot when it passes from a liquid to solid, but that only suggests that it is possible that if the size of the blood ball decreases, the weight can also be reduced!


    Carefully, Rus shrinks the blood ball. The blood ball that was originally a ball composed of 20 drops, now only has 15 drops of blood. When the 5 drops of blood entered his body, Rus''s body felt immediately revitalized and energized "Now that the blood ball is smaller, it''s time for it to be solid" Rus is already in a more comfortable position to better resist the weight of the ball and that his legs are not in danger again due to poor posture when resisting the weight.


    While he holds the blood ball with his right hand, he is also using his left hand as a support in case the weight remains the same. Rus see with interest how the blood ball changes from liquid to solid, he thinks it is something very strange to see, but it is really worth witnessing something so surprising.

    "Oh? It really worked!" Rus says with joy since he feels that the blood ball does not weigh as much as before, now that weight is not a problem at this time, Rus has already thought about what to do with the blood ball. He looks around, Rus has not forgotten to concentrate on listening to any kind of sound other than the petals of the Rushu flowers that fall to the soil. It would be really problematic if a slave suddenly appeared and saw that he is using such strange skills.


    Rus wants a place to test if the blood ball is useful to be thrown, but unfortunately, the mountain of flowers Rushu does not have huge rocks or a stone wall that serves to see if he can do any damage with the blood ball. Seeing that there is nothing, Rus can only try to throw the blood ball to the soft soil, at least the depth to which the ball sinks into the soil will help him know if the force he used is sufficient.


    He squeezes the blood ball tightly, with a posture that makes his waist turn a lot and with his arm fully stretched. Throw the blood ball with full force to the soil near him!


    "Plaf!!"


    Rus approaches where he threw the blood ball, he sees an incredibly deep hole, he tries to put his arm to grab the blood ball but his arm does not seem to be long enough to reach the blood ball! Rus pulls his arm out of the hole, he has his eyebrows furrowed, he doesn''t know what to do to retrieve the blood ball, just when he wondered if he had to dig nonstop until he found the ball, he sees a red liquid that creeps quickly through the hole, the blood that was supposed to be a solid blood ball seems to have turned into a liquid by itself and quickly came out of the hole "Amazing!"


    Blood crawls across the soil to touch his feet and re-enters his body, causing Rus to recover all his energy.


    ...


    Rus spend all the remaining hours experimenting with his blood. He already knows several things that can be quite useful in a battle, he has managed to change the shape of the blood ball, now he can make it take the form he wants, the most useful form for him is a small knife, it is incredibly sharp! The only problem is that the knife is very small due to the little blood he used, he also did something very interesting, he got the ball to have many spikes, if before it was heavy enough to leave a deep hole in the soil, now that it has spikes, it is a weapon that is likely to kill some beasts! Although only the weakest beast... The strange thing is that Rus can make the spikes not affect him at all, it''s the same with the knife.


    He tried other things, but only those 2 ways are the only ones he finds useful at the moment. Rus sees that the sky is already very red, so he descends from the mountain in the direction of the tribe.

 12 Smell of blood

    Rus looks at the door of the tribe with a look of confusion. He remembers that the guard told him to look for Jabbe, but the problem is that he doesn''t see anyone anywhere! Although the one who was always waiting at the door late into the night was Fatri, that does not mean that now that he died, there is no need to stand guard in this place "That Jabbe man seemed very serious and responsible. What could have happened so that he wasn''t here to receive the stones? Or maybe he really doesn''t mind being here since he doesn''t even consider me necessary, even if I have stones for the tribe?"


    He is right next to the door, just one step away from entering the tribe. Rus was about to enter the tribe since there is no one watching the door. Even if the guards tell him something tomorrow, he can only tell them the truth that there was no one here to receive the stones.


    His foot that was about to pass the door stops in the air, he felt a strong wind in his direction but does not stop due to a strong wind. The moment the wind blows in his direction, a smell that he recognizes and is familiar to he enters through his nostrils, a smell that makes his body feel warm as if it were burning...


    "Blood..." Rus has just smelled a strong smell of blood, the same smell that his body emits when he uses his ability to draw blood from his hands. At first, Rus thought that the reason there was not a single guard at the door was that none of them wanted to come and deal with him. But now... Something dangerous may be happening in the tribe.


    Knowing that something strange and dangerous may be happening in the tribe, Rus uses his ability to draw blood from his body. What he is going to do is not a knife or the blood ball, there is something else that is not very useful for a battle, but is essential in case there is a surprise attack!


    Several drops of blood come out of his right hand that comes together on his index finger to create what looks like a ring! One of the several things that Rus learned by experimenting with his blood for more than 5 hours is this blood ring. Although it is a ring that does not serve to cause any damage, that is not the purpose of the ring. If Rus wants to hurt, he can make a knife. What the ring does is that he can use it to create anything at a very high speed, it is really useful in case some enemy decides to appear suddenly since he will not have time to collect all the drops of blood until he takes the form that Rus wants. But with the ring in his hand, all he needs to do is think about the shape of the weapon he wants, although the only problem is that he can only create very thin and small weapons. Anyway, he managed to reduce the reaction time to a surprise attack and another good point is that the ring weighs almost nothing.


    With the ring on his index finger, he feels a little safer to enter the tribe, anyway, he won''t make much noise to prevent the one who created that blood smell from finding it. Rus has lived in the tribe since he was born, although he has only been walking through this part of the tribe for 5 years, it is enough for him to know all the shortcuts to get home safely, there are still some places where he cannot avoid encountering people, but he is unlikely to find himself to someone most of the way.

    "Ughh, but I can''t enter the tribe in silence with this bag" Rus looks at the bag with the 25 mana stones of blood, if he could make his body absorb more stones it would be great, but unfortunately that is impossible. He knows that if there is an attack on the tribe, the worst thing he can do is walk the tribe with a bag full of stones that make a lot of noise when the bag is shaken.


    After considering it for a minute, in the end, Rus decides to keep carrying the bag. He doesn''t think it''s a good idea to leave the bag out there or buried... All he can do is walk very carefully to prevent the stones from making too much noise.


    Rus enters one of the alleys that are very useful to go from the door that leads to the mountain of flowers Rushu to his house without many people noticing. In fact, it is quite rare for someone to be in this alley since it is covered in garbage and with a very bad smell. Previously, this alley was the same as the other alleys, but since an accident occurred where several people''s corpses were found, The only use of this alley is to be a dump of people who are too lazy to go to the tribe''s dump.


    The smell of blood is becoming stronger, Rus believes that perhaps those of the Clafall tribe made an attack when he was on the mountain, but even if that happened, it is still quite rare that there is no one who has climbed the mountain, since that is what motivates the Clafall tribe to continue attacking the warriors of the Kellai tribe or that is what Rus believes...


    Rus is about to leave this alley that smells really bad. The strangest thing is that even with that smell of rotten, he can still detect the smell of blood in the air. After reaching the corner of the alley, he stops, he does not want to move forward because, although this road is indeed very good to avoid people, it is mandatory that he has to follow the next path that is where there are always people around. In addition, there is something else that bothers him and that the smell of blood is much stronger in that place.


    Clenching his teeth, Rus decides to continue. With slow steps, he slowly approaches where the smell of blood is strongest. Making sure the bag doesn''t make noise. Suddenly, he sees something that makes him stay without knowing how to react. If Rus had seen this same scene before consuming the pill, he is sure that he would already be vomiting!


    In a wide street with many houses made of black wood, wherein each house there are clothes that hang from sticks that have a rope that is used to hang clothes. This street is where Rus normally has to endure the look of disgust of people when it passes. Rus sees numerous bodies covered in blood, some are missing limbs, cut in half or beheaded!


    There are children, women and some older people. But there is no trace of young men. Rus is not sad or angry about the death of all these people. From the beginning, everyone looked at him in disgust, now he knows that it is surely because he is a mixed-race that everyone hated him.


    But instead of feeling these feelings of sadness and hate, Rus feels that his body is boiling like never before! "Hmmm?" Rus observes how his saliva drips on the ground, he realizes that his saliva drips down the corners of his mouth without any control. Rus tries to close his mouth to prevent more saliva from coming out, but closing his mouth produces a very strong pain in his teeth, he has no choice but to continue with his mouth open while more saliva falls to the ground...


    Rus thought that he had already understood his body a little more, but it seems he was wrong, he feels very disgusted by everything he is seeing, but his body reacts as if there was something delicious near him!


    Unable to retain his body''s desire to approach those corpses, he walks with heavy steps in the direction of an old man''s corpse, Rus tries to stop, but it is impossible to do so, he completely lost control of his body. The only thing that is lucid about Rus is his mind, probably, due to the effect of the pill, his mind is still being controlled by him.


    With a look of helplessness, he looks at the old man''s corpse on the floor, right next to him. Rus throws the bag on the floor without worrying about making noise, although in reality, it is not Rus who throws the bag, it is his body that releases it. He sees that his body moves as if he moved only by instinct, ignoring all the orders of his mind.


    His arms approach the old man''s chest, without hesitation for a second, his hand crosses the old man''s chest. The moment his hand entered the old man''s chest, Rus''s entire body begins to tremble strongly.

 13 Massacre in the tribe

    As his body trembled, his hand slowly emerges from the old man''s chest, Rus sees that in his hand there is a drop of blood that shines slightly red just like the mana stones of blood! The strangest thing is that his right hand, which must be covered with blood when entering the old man''s chest, does not have a single spot, the only thing in his hand is that drop of blood that shines.


    When he thought there could be no more surprises, the old man''s body begins to have incredible changes: a red smoke begins to emerge from the old man''s wounds that constantly enter the drop of blood. While the smoke is still absorbed by the drop of blood, the old man''s body becomes increasingly thin, until in less than a minute Rus sees something familiar, the old man''s body is now similar to Fatri and Nacus''s body afterward that he completed his transformation!


    Rus finally understand the process through which the bodies of Nacus and Fatri passed to end in that unfortunate state as if all the blood and flesh of their bodies had disappeared. He looks at the drop of blood with curiosity after the drop of blood finished absorbing all the smoke, the brightness of the drop of blood changed, now it is so bright that it makes Rus have to squint when he looks at it.


    Then, suddenly, the light disappears, Rus looks at his hand, he saw how the ring in his hand melted until it turned into liquid blood again and quickly the blood crawled to the bright drop and completely covered it. After that, the blood re-enters your body, taking with it the drop of blood.


    With the drop of bright blood inside his body, Rus feels that his hand is colder than ever. Suddenly, several red veins begin to appear in his hand that extends throughout the arm until it reaches the chest where it stops. After the red veins stopped in his chest, the other veins in his arm disappear immediately.


    Rus feels something hot in his stomach the moment the red veins disappear, that thing goes through his throat until "B-blergh!" From his mouth comes a puff of a viscous black liquid! He looks at the black liquid with perplexity, Rus believes that due to the viscosity of the liquid it may be blood, but it would be somewhat strange blood that he cannot understand...


    The tremor in his body stopped the moment he vomited that black blood, even his mobility recovered, he can now move his body at will. Rus understands that the old man''s chest had something valuable that caused his body to lose control, however, there is something that intrigues him. Previously, Rus also felt the same kind of desire to want to approach the corpses of other close people as if there was something valuable like the drop of bright blood the old man had, but since the old man''s body is closer to him, the old man had the bad luck of being the first person to whom that drop of bright blood was taken. The problem is that now that Rus is done with the old man, his body is supposed to go to the other corpses to get the same drop of blood or whatever they have, but that desire disappeared completely from his body.


    He looks at his body to see if he has any changes due to the drop of bright blood, but finds nothing that is different. He still has a somewhat muscular constitution that he acquired when his body changed last night. His hair is still black due to the ability of the magic card and its height also remains the same.


    Now that Rus can already control his body, it is time for him to leave this place. He looks at the surrounding corpses, a few minutes ago, he thought that the tribe had suffered an attack from the Clafall tribe, Rus still believes that this is a possibility, but he has some doubts when he sees the absence of young men among the corpses.


    In the event of an attack, it should be normal for there to be corpses of men who tried to protect their relatives and also the corpses of some warriors and guards. Shaking his head, he stops thinking about those things that, even if he knew the answer, he couldn''t do anything with his limited fighting abilities.


    Rus picks up the bag and gets up. Just when he moves away from the corpse of the old man, he hears the voices of some people who seem to be talking to each other, however, the most interesting thing is that the voices do not come from people who are close to here. Rus is sure that the voices are approaching his direction, but the strange thing is that he feels that the voices are still too far, so far that he should not be able to hear them...


    He is not going to stay in this place to think about why he can listen so well. With careful steps, he moves away from that place, after moving away a little from that street, he increases his speed to the maximum running to the address of his house, which is where he thinks it is the safest place in the tribe, since he does not believe there is anyone who wants to go to that place where there is nothing of value. Rus is surprised at his current speed, he believed that the speed he used in the morning was the fastest he could run, that''s probably true and only his speed increased triple of his original speed due to the drop of bright blood he received from the old man''s body. Now that he thinks about it, perhaps the reason he can hear so well, even if they are distant voices, is due to that drop of blood.


    While Rus creates the blood ring again to be prepared in case some enemy attacks him, his body disappears between the darkness and the small red light of the moon that illuminates the tribe leaving only the sound of the wind in the surroundings.


    ...


    5 minutes later in that same place.


    "Sigh, then it happened here too..." says a man with a brown armor made of the skin of an unknown beast and a long spear in the back. The man''s face has several scars, it seems that he even lost one of his eyes a long time ago, his hair is short and black.


    With an angry expression, a man in black and yellow armor with a helmet that covers his head and also with a spear on his back says "Those damn elite warriors, they didn''t have to be so cruel killing even innocent children!"


    "Shhh" The man with the scars on his face looks at the other man with a worried look "Don''t say unnecessary things, you know that elite warriors have advanced racial skills to hide in the shadows, any of them may be hiding somewhere near here"


    The other man nods, stops talking and approaches the corpses that are nearby. Neither of the 2 needs a torch to see any detail in the dark, so he easily sees something that catches his attention "Hmmm?" He looks at something that looks different, he sees a black puddle that differs a lot from the surrounding blood.


    "What''s up Bithus?" The man with the scars on his face asks in a serious voice. He approaches his friend Bithus, whom he has known since he was a child who barely had the strength to lift a spear like the spear he has on his back.


    "What can this thing be?" Bithus points to the black liquid on the floor "Here there are only pools of blood and corpses, but this black liquid is too strange..." He looks at his best friend Harion to see what he says about the black liquid on the floor, but Bithus sees that his friend has his only extremely open eye, his mouth is also wide open while looking at him or looking at something behind him.


    Harion quickly regains his composure, so he says "...Look at the corpse that is near that black liquid"


    Bithus turns his head to look at the corpse that Harion is talking about. He had already seen sideways that there was a corpse near the black liquid, but he paid no attention since he does not want to see the corpses of the tribe''s inhabitants.

    He sees the corpse that surprised his friend so much "!!?" With an agile jump, Bithus away more than half a meter from the corpse and adopts a combat position with his spear. Since he jumped, he took his spear from his back and adopted his combat stance, it didn''t take him more than 1 second! A sign that Bithus has a lot of experience fighting with his spear. He saw something that scared him a lot, the corpse next to the puddle of that black liquid almost looks like a monster!


    The skin of the corpse is dry as the bark of a tree, there is no presence of blood in his body, his chest has a hole and the expression of the corpse is of despair.


    "Calm down, it''s not a monster, so there''s no need to adopt your fighting position" Says Harion. He approaches the corpse with slow steps, he can identify what is the body of an old man, but does not understand what could have happened so that the old man has that appearance "Did someone from the elite warrior do this too? Hmmm, I don''t think it''s possible, in the records of the tribal library there has never been anyone who is one of the races of the dragon god of darkness who has this kind of ability racial... maybe an intruder?"


    Bithus keeps his spear on his back again and says "It makes no sense that an intruder did this, what would he gain from that?" He remains silent for a few seconds and says "...Do you think we should report this to the elite warriors?"


    "N-no, we better not say anything, they may not believe us and try to torture us for information or something worse... They can do the same with us as they did with men who did not want to go to war or who did not allow their children to be taken to war" Harion says with a terrified expression, he really is very afraid of elite warriors.


    Bithus nods, although he is not so afraid of elite warriors, it is still difficult for him to talk to them. He looks at the corpses on the ground, all the people who are dead are those who disobeyed the orders of the elite warriors, they are so cold-blooded that they even killed children and the elderly who could not defend themselves in any way.


    "I hope there isn''t a hidden guard somewhere to listen to us or we would really be dead..." Says Harion. He was going to leave that place ignoring the corpse and the black puddle since his nose was already being lost with the strong smell of blood. But then remember something that still has an impact on him "I would like to have the same courage that this boy had this afternoon when he spoke with Onsul, he is too scary, not for nothing he has earned his fame as chief of the elite warriors who does not blink a little when he kills children, women or olds mans"


    "That boy? Ah, I think his name was... Reo, wasn''t he? He was too reckless, saying he would voluntarily go to kill the last enemy of the tribe, that boy should know that they would only use it as cannon fodder" Although Bithus disapproves of that child''s behavior, he still has a smile on his lips under the helmet, he respects the fact that a child under 15 can shout his name out loud in front of the head of the elite warriors and say he will kill To all the enemies of the tribe. What seems most incredible to Bithus is that this boy has managed to capture the attention of that cold-blooded man. Not only will he not be used as cannon fodder, but even that boy will be taught directly by Onsul himself to fight and probably teach him things that help him evolve rapidly until he can use advanced racial skills.


    "We can meet that boy later since we also have to go to war" Harion says with an excited tone of voice.


    "It''s possible" Says Bithus as he nods.


    "Anyway, let''s get out of here, I really can''t stand this smell anymore" Harion turns around and quickly walks away from that street.


    Bithus looks at the pool of black liquid and the old man''s corpse for the last time "...I hope this doesn''t mean anything bad since the tribe has too busy hands with the current tribal chief and his irrational orders" He leaves that place following Harion without thinking more about what he saw.

 14 Petal Storm

    Rus arrived at his house after running for less than 3 minutes, he found nothing more strange apart from that street with all those corpses. Looking at his house, he feels that this is the only place where he can feel safe.


    "Now let''s think about what to do with what is happening in the tribe. At the moment I don''t have enough strength to face an experienced warrior from the Clafall tribe, although I don''t know if it was really they who attacked the tribe..." Rus doubts what he should do, he knows that his strength is deficient even with his new abilities, so now Rus cannot take pleasure in going out to investigate what is happening.


    "If only I had a spear!" Since childhood, his father taught him to fight with a spear. The spear is the weapon used by all the warriors of the Kellai tribe. The tribe has been using the spear for a long time, so there are now many special techniques to use the spear. His father taught him the basic techniques of how to use the short spear and some of the techniques that only the leader of the tribe can learn. Rus was going to learn the tribe''s most powerful spear technique when he was older, it''s a special technique for long spears, but unfortunately, his father couldn''t teach him anything...


    He remembers the day his father showed him that technique "I think my father called it... petal storm" When the petal storm technique is used, the spear at the beginning looks like a petal that floats gently in the air, but from one moment to another, what seems like a slow movement without any force becomes an endless rain of attacks, the technique is perfect to face many enemies that attack from all directions. That is the explanation his father gave him at that time. Even so, Rus did not fully understand how it is possible to attack so quickly from all directions and even now he still does not understand.


    When Rus first saw the petal storm technique, he asked his father why the technique had that name. His father told him that a long time ago, there was a warrior from the Kellai tribe who only used the sword. It was known that this warrior was very strong because of his incredible talent with the sword, but in reality, that man had reached the limit of what his talent with the sword could achieve. In a matter of years, he went from being a warrior recognized by his strength to be one of the weakest among the other warriors. Devastated by his incompetence, he climbed the mountain of Rushu flowers to end his useless life on top... Or that was his intention. On the top of the mountain, he saw an old rusty long spear embedded in the soil next to many Rushu flowers. That warrior thought that the spear had something in common with him, forgotten on this mountain because it reached the limit. That day, suddenly, a storm hit the mountain fiercely. After that day, that warrior returned from the mountain with the spear in his hand and a determined look on his face. He surprised everyone in the tribe, a man who only knew how to use the sword returned with a spear in his hand and defeated all the strongest warriors in the tribe. Anyone would be surprised if that happened. Years later, that warrior became the third chief of the Kellai tribe. He made all the warriors of the tribe willingly use only the spear. That is why today, even if many years have passed and there have been many different chiefs, the tribe still uses only the spear. About how that warrior created the petal storm technique, it is a mystery, he only said at that time that everything was the work of destiny and that the name he gave to the technique was because that destiny is connected to the mountain of flowers Rushu. Of course, nobody understood what he meant, people just believe that this warrior was very lucky that the storm gave him ideas to create that technique.


    If Rus could use his blood to create a spear, he would be sure that he would not easily lose against any warrior, if it was before when his body was weak and malnourished, he is convinced that he would be defeated immediately. Unfortunately, Rus can only extract a maximum of 40 drops of blood from his body.


    "Sigh, I guess I can only be alert in case someone approaches, I have already verified that my body improved again, be it my speed, my hearing, even my eyesight is much better than before" In addition, he feels that with his current speed it should not be impossible to flee if an enemy arrives, even if he is a warrior. Rus looks at the bag in his hand, smiles at the thought of the 25 mana stones of blood it contains "Should I deliver these stones tomorrow?" He grabs his chin while thinking. He is not quite sure what to do, Rus mainly does not know if leaving his house is safe. Another reason is that when he saw that there was no one at the entrance, he thought that it is possible that from now on there are no guards to worry about him, even if he has the stones "Although it is also possible that all the door guards are dead...


    After thinking about it, Rus decides to do something smarter so as not to take a risk, he decides to keep 10 stones, which is the minimum number of stones that Goro asked for and leave 15 for the tribe. He made this decision by thinking that it is possible that no guard has really died, there is also the possibility that the tribe defeats the enemy that has decided to attack and by tomorrow everything is in order.

    Rus takes a deep breath, drops the bag on the floor, sits on the floor and looks at his hands. Think about taking out the stones in his body. Slowly, from his palms come 2 stones with a red glow similar to the drop of blood that the old man had on his chest, only that the stones have less intensity in their brightness. Rus still doesn''t get used to seeing how the stones come out of his palms, he thinks it''s a bit unpleasant when 2 holes form in his palms.


    "With this, there are 4 stones" Rus sees how another 2 stones slowly come out of his palms. He looks at the whole process with a silly face of happiness. Goro said that the effect of the pill ends in 5 days, so Goro probably decides to appear at home the last day that the effect of the pill remains active. Therefore, he only has 4 days left to collect stones. The more stones, the better, since that means more money and with all that money he will be fine when he is out of the tribe.


    Rus extends his hands to take out another 2 stones, looks closely at his palms waiting for the stones to come out "..." Nothing comes out, Rus thinks again about taking out the stones, but nothing comes out! "...Where are my other 4 stones?" Rus wonders with a lost look. He thought it was safe to keep the stones in his body, but it turns out he could only recover half of what he had saved!


    "Oh, it doesn''t matter, at least I have these 4 stones and the 25 stones in the bag." Rus takes one of the 4 stones, he looks sadly at the stone when he thinks of the other 4 stones that disappeared in his body. He unconsciously squeezes the stone a little, suddenly, a little sound of "Crack!" It is heard throughout his home. Rus feels that the stone in his hand feels different than before... He looks at the stone in his hand with a dazed look. The stone that was supposed to be intact in his hand is breaking into small fragments until it turns to dust and slips between his fingers...


    With an awkward smile, Rus looks at the other 3 stones that are on the ground, takes one of them and squeezes the stone "Crack!" He hears that annoying sound in his ears again, a sound he definitely doesn''t want to hear again in his life. Rus does the same with the last 2 stones and the result was the same. All the stones that Rus let his body absorb, those stones that he thought would be more money, all turned into dust.


    Rus looks at the dark red dust scattered on the wooden floor. Frowning, he thinks about why the stones turned to dust. He looks at the red smoke that constantly comes out of the stones in the bag and that is always being absorbed by his body "Hmmm, could it be that the stones have a limit of how much red smoke they can release and when they exceed that limit they break?" Rus is almost certain of his conjecture, but there is still the possibility that it is for another cause.


    Rus opens the bag and takes out a stone. With the stone in his hand, he squeezes it, but no matter how strong Rus squeezes the stone, it does not break at all... Without understanding anything that is happening, Rus returns the stone to the bag and removes another stone. After doing the same with several stones, the result was that none broke, leaving him even more confused.


    Without knowing how to find an answer about what happens with the stones. Rus rises from the ground to concentrate on observing and listening to any enemy who approaches his house and for the moment forget the subject of the stones. But suddenly he feels that his whole body loses his strength! Unable to control his legs well, he falls to the floor with a "Puf!" Rus then sees his hair change to its original color "W-what''s going on?" He also feels that his eyelids are heavy as if he were very sleepy! With his mind in total confusion about everything that is happening, even trying to keep his eyes open, he inevitably closes his eyes, covering his vision of darkness...

 15 Investigating what happened in the tribe

    Rus slowly opens his eyes while his eyelids tremble a little, he feels the cold of the wooden floor in the left half of his face, he lifts the upper part of his body slowly, once seated, he looks around with a cloudy look. After checking that there is nothing different in his house, he looks at the floor, Rus sees that the dark red dust and the bag of stones are in the same place. That red smoke keeps coming out of the bag as he normally does, but he sees something that baffles him, the smoke that comes close to him, It is not absorbed by his body, stops only 4 centimeters away as if there is something that prevents smoke from passing that short distance.


    "...And now what happened to my body?" Rus is already starting to get used to something strange happening with his body, all he expects is that none of the changes his body experiences will kill him. Rus stands up and stretches his arms to see that everything is fine with his body. He has not finished seeing how much his body has improved since the drop of bright blood entered his body, he already knows that his speed is more than triple his original speed and that his basic senses have also greatly improved.


    He looks through the holes in the ceiling that the sky is a little red, but especially blue "How long have I been unconscious?" Rus looks at the sky in detail to know how long he has been unconscious, he knows that when the sky is completely dark red, that means it is about to get dark, when the sky is light red and the majority is blue, it means that it is still noon "Due to the color of the sky, I would say it''s noon" He usually gets up earlier to go to the mountain, but now that it is so late, he can be punished by the guards or it should be if everything in the tribe continues as usual. As Rus knows that the tribe had serious problems at night, he doubts that anyone is interested in seeing if he has already climbed the mountain or not.


    Rus does not want to stay home without knowing what is happening outside the tribe, although it is true that it is dangerous, although he thinks it is better than waiting in this place since it is possible that if he has bad luck and the tribe has lost against who attacked at night... The next one to be attacked will be him since although it is true that his house is in a very remote place of the tribe, it is inevitable that in the end, they will find his house. The biggest problem is that there will not only be 1 enemy, but there may also be many and if that happens it is impossible for him to escape.


    With an air of determination and confidence in him, Rus takes the bag of stones and takes out 10 stones. He already learned from his previous mistake, so instead of hiding the stones under his bed, this time he will hide it under the floor. Rus easily lift a board and places the 10 stones inside. He is not interested in knowing why the smoke does not want to be absorbed by his body. He feels some pity when he sees the red dust on the floor, shakes his head and walks with quick steps toward the door. Just as he was about to open the door, a roar suddenly echoes in the house "Grrrr!" "Brrrrr!" Rus looks at his stomach with surprise, he had completely forgotten that he needed to eat. He cannot be blamed since his body changed, Rus stopped feeling hungry, so he completely forgot to eat.


    "Ughh, Ceger said he wasn''t going to bring me food again" He rubs his stomach with a helpless look. Rus is baffled as to why now his body began to feel hungry. He wants to investigate the reason, but now what he really needs is to know the state of the tribe. Anyway, Rus is grateful that his stomach has sounded right now since when he looked at it, his hair covered his eyes, so he realized that his hair was still red! He quickly activates the skill of the magic card, the moment he activates it, his hair turns black again, although he can''t see his eyes, he also thinks about changing them. Rus sees that the smoke is absorbed again by his body the moment he activates the skill. He sighs in his mind and leaves his house without worrying about the smoke.


    Rus looks around cautiously, there are some houses larger than his own in the surroundings, all those houses are mostly abandoned, there are some that are occupied with some people, although these people are people who rarely leave their homes or are out of the tribe doing business or maybe they are already dead.


    Since he was forced to live in this place, he wanted to live in one of those abandoned houses, but the guards never allowed it. The only good thing about this area is that it doesn''t have to stand the eyes of the people of the tribe. Rus takes a deep breath and walks the same path he passed last night.


    His mind is calm with the pill, so he can concentrate completely on observing his surroundings without dulling his movements due to the fear of being discovered by some enemy.


    Soon he arrives at the street where all those corpses were lying "...Nothing?" Rus does not see any corpse anywhere, he cautiously approaches that street to see better, but he still does not find a single spot of blood. Any normal person would not notice anything since it really seems that no one has died in this place, but Rus is different, he still smells the thick smell of blood that is impregnated throughout this street.


    Rus walks slowly to the place where he vomited that black blood and where the old man''s body was. He leans in to smell better, in fact, the smell of blood becomes even stronger as he brings his face to the ground.


    While Rus concentrates thinking about why there isn''t a single body or at least one spot of blood on the ground, he suddenly hears the sound of a door opening! Rus quickly looks in the direction where the door opened, he sees a woman who seems to be over 30 years old who looks nervously around her, the moment she sees Rus, her face becomes incredibly pale as if she had afraid of something.


    The woman looks at Rus while her body trembles, she is incredibly scared and surprised to see a boy in this place. She wants to turn around and close the door. What prevents her from doing that is that her body doesn''t want to move from fear when she remembers the events that happened yesterday.


    Rus is intrigued by the woman''s actions. He does not remember seeing this woman the times he has passed through this street and does not want to talk to anyone from this tribe unless it is necessary. But he still wants to know what''s going on in the tribe and this woman seems to be the only person on this street he has seen for now. Rus gets up and walks in the direction of where the woman is.


    She is even more scared when she sees that boy approaching her. Her youngest son and her husband were forced to go to a sudden war that the chief of the tribe wants to make against the Clafall tribe. Obviously, she did not want her loved ones to go to such a dangerous event, many other people who also did not want their relatives to go to war gathered to go to the house of the chief of the tribe to protest. However, that was the beginning of that terrifying scene she saw and left her unable to sleep at night. Some men appeared from the shadows and began to kill almost everyone who was against the orders of the chief of the tribe. These men only killed women, children, and old men. They turned men who didn''t want to go to war into slaves who can''t think for themselves with a strange magic that she doesn''t know. She knows that the men who killed all those people of the tribe are the elite warriors who serve the chief of the tribe as his most loyal men.


    Therefore, seeing a man, even if he is still a child, causes her to lose her sanity. She is too scared to move around what she shouts "G-get away, don''t come near me, go away!" She does not know who this child is that was not taken by those elite warriors to war, but she does not want and is not interested in seeing the characteristics of that child.

    "???" Rus didn''t expect that woman to be so defensive that she even started screaming very loudly. Although this situation seems a bit awkward to Rus, he really wants to know what happened in the tribe "Calm down, I won''t hurt you" Rus is beginning to hate the fact that he has not spoken with almost anyone but his parents, some servants and the guards, so his communication skills are really bad...


    "Please go away... go away..." Rus sees, without being able to do anything, that the woman does not seem to be well mentally to be able to speak with him.


    Thinking about what to do to make the woman calm down, Rus hears the sound of other doors opening. He turns to see and sees that there are some old women and women who come out some houses with knives to cut meat and very thick sticks.


    "Eh... what''s going on here?" Rus does not believe that these people can hurt him with those weapons, but he prefers to be cautious and be prepared to run away when he sees things become dangerous to him.


    "Then this is the person who is making Driella scream!" An old woman who seems to be in her last years of life says out loud when she looks at Rus. She looks at Rus with a strange expression "Hmmm, I think I know you... Ah! You''re that damn mixed-race boy!"


    Rus feels that something inside him is boiling when he hears the old woman''s words, now he has finished verifying that these people really saw him as trash because he is mixed-race. He looks at the looks of the crowd in front of him. All these people look at him with disgust, disdain and fear.

 16 Investigating what happened in the tribe Part 2

    Rus did not expect that there were so many people on this street still alive and seeing the expressions of these people is sure that they will not be friendly with him, much less the old woman who has just spoken.


    Even so, Rus needs answers to make sure it is still possible to go to Rushu''s mountain of flowers and another important thing is to see if the people who attacked the tribe are so heinous that they can kill him. With an expression of reluctance, he asks in a calm voice "Hello... I don''t want to hurt anyone here, I just want to know what''s going on in the tribe" Although he tried to ask in a friendly tone of voice, he still couldn''t help clenching his teeth angrily at the thought of talking amicably with these people who were insulting him before.


    "We have nothing to tell you!" A woman in the crowd suddenly shouts, as if the others were waiting for the moment when one of them said something, everyone starts shouting and saying nasty things to Rus.


    The old woman has a malicious smile on her face, she looks at the mixed-race boy as if she were seeing an idiot "Are you really thinking that we will tell you something? You? An unpleasant mixed race that is the son of that scum who was easily killed by the new chief of the tribe?" The old woman''s voice becomes darker as she keeps talking "It is for your father that the tribe is in this state! Why did he have to marry a woman from one of the races of the dragon god of light!?" The old woman''s eyes have red veins, her breathing is heavy and her body trembles slightly "Now that he died, that barbarian took control of the tribe and thanks to your father, our children and husbands who did not want to go to war are now cursed slaves without their own mind that will be used as cannon fodder. Even some already they are dead! dead!!" As soon as the old woman finishes speaking, she begins to cry uncontrollably.

    Even with the active effects of the pill, Rus had so much anger growing inside him that he was about to attack that old woman who was still insulting his father, but as soon as Rus heard that their husbands and children were turned into slaves to go to war, their anger died down a bit. He sees that all women in the crowd have tears in their eyes, sobbing silently as they look at him with unlimited anger.


    "I understand... I will not bother any of you and I will not approach this street either" Rus turns and walks away from that street. He is a little in conflict about what to think about the tribe, but those doubts only last a few seconds because he quickly organizes his thoughts and clarifies in his mind that although those people are suffering for the new chief of the tribe, he is not to blame for anything, another reason is that he will not yet easily forget the appearance of hatred and disgust of everyone and the fact that, although his father kept the tribe for many years in a moment of peace where it was very rare that the people from the tribe were injured or killed, they still insult him for dying in an ambush where he had to fight hundreds of enemies alone with his mother and some of the most loyal men who were with him until his death.


    While Rus runs and reaffirms his will to take revenge on the tribe. The figure of a person appears in front of him, which causes him to stop or else he would hit that person with his body! Rus looks at the appearance of that person, is a man with a brown armor and a spear on his back. The man has short hair, a square face with small eyes that look at him with a serious look. Rus immediately realizes that this man is a guard! Although it is one that he has never seen.


    "What are you doing running around these places and not preparing to go to war with the rest of the boys and men?" The man says aloud while he speaks, he is one of the few guards who were not assigned to go to war, he was looking calmly around him when he sees this boy run from afar at high speed.


    Rus has a dazed look, thinks he has very bad luck when he meets a guard after hearing what that old woman said. It is not difficult for he to deduce from the old woman''s words that the tribe goes to war and he doesn''t believe that the Kellai tribe goes against anyone but the Clafall tribe. Rus is not going to lie that he is a little nervous since he heard that they have even made slaves to the inhabitants of the tribe just for refusing to go to war and it seems that these people do not forgive even the children! Although thanks to the pill, his heart beats at a normal rate.


    "Wait, I think I''ve seen you somewhere..." The man was thinking if he should take this guy with the elite warriors or not, but seeing this boy''s face, he remembers a certain man with a proud expression and a sure look that used to be the most important person in the tribe. That person was the chief of the Kellai tribe!


    Among the wooden buildings without a single person around, with the cold wind that grazes the skin of Rus, he was thinking about what to do to prevent this guard from taking him to where the men who became slaves are, but he never expected this man to recognize him, although Rus had never seen him.


    "You are the son of the former chief of the tribe, right? Your facial features are very similar, triangular face, straight nose and big eyes" He greatly admired the former chief of the tribe, he really regrets that the former chief of the tribe has died to hands of the current chief of the tribe. He had heard that his mixed-race son had not died, if not that he was sent to live in one of the most remote places of the tribe and forced to look for red stones every day in the mountain of flowers Rushu. Although he does not feel hate for this boy, even if he is of mixed race, he still does not understand how it is possible that the current chief of the tribe has not killed this boy...


    "You''re right, is there a problem with that?" Rus responds with a frown, he did not expect that going out to look for information about what happened in the tribe would end up with him meeting people who insulted him and his father. Anyway, Rus is somewhat confused about why this guard describes his facial features and compares them to his father''s.


    The guard observes the suspicious expression of Rus, understands that this boy has been through a lot and does not trust the guards of the tribe "I do not try to tell you anything bad, many years ago your father was the most admired person, well, even I admire a lot" He smiles when he says this, but his expression changes and he says with a serious tone of voice "You should not let any other guard see you, these days will be very bad for the tribe and if they see you I assure you they will send you to participate in the war like cannon fodder"


    Rus is surprised that this guard is treating him so well, there is a part of him that believes that this man is only making fun of him, although there is also another part of him that thinks that this man does not hate him because he has great respect for his father. Rus for the moment will trust this guard, anyway he is sure that with his current skills he can escape from this man at any time "What happened in the tribe? What enemy will the tribe face? Why did the men and boys of the tribe become slaves?" Rus quickly realizes that he is asking too many questions at once, so he smiles with some shame.


    "First of all, my name is Khan, what''s your name?" Hedhal asks with a friendly smile.


    "Ah! My name is Rus..." He is even more ashamed to see how this man who seems to be 30 years old is much more mature than he is to the point of presenting himself politely before continuing to speak.


    Hedhal nods and continues speaking: "The chief of the tribe, Krum, ordered the elite warriors to use the men who were still young and the children for the next 2-day war against the Clafall tribe. The problem was that the Elite warriors sent guards to recruit them, but almost no man agreed to go to war, much less send their children to die or be used as cannon fodder" Hedhal changes his expression to anger, continues to speak but out loud "When the leader of the elite warriors, Onsul, realized this, he sent the elite warriors to kill some of those who continued to refuse to go to the war and put a magical seal of slavery on others..."


    "They have no mercy, they don''t care about gender or age, they just follow orders" Hedhal stops talking for a few seconds, looks at Rus with regret "Try to hide, if you''re lucky, this whole war can end in a couple of days"


    Rus looks into Hedhal''s eyes, he has previously doubted whether he should take revenge on everyone in the tribe, he still wants revenge on the tribe, but this time he decided not to kill everyone or at least try to avoid killing people like this man "I understand , I will find a place to hide until this war ends" Rus plans to stay at home and occasionally go to the mountain to collect the stones he hid at the top.


    "Perfect, oh, before you go, if possible, I would like you to visit a woman, she is the wife of a friend of mine who died a few years ago, her son was taken to war by the person who gave the order to kill and enslave all those who oppose the war, that bastard of Onsul.Maybe you can help her calm down, you don''t have to worry about being treated badly because you are of mixed race or because you are the son of the former chief of the tribe, she is a very kind woman who would never hate someone just for its race" Hedhal asks Rus for this favor with an apologetic expression, he would like to go to comfort her, but he promised his friend that he would never approach his wife anymore than necessary.


    Rus doubts for a moment, but in the end he accepts, since it has been a long time since I talked to someone in such a friendly way and he thinks it would be nice to meet someone who does not discriminate against someone''s race.


    Hedhal tells Rus where that woman''s house is and also her name. Her name is Celelin, a woman with very attractive facial features, oval face, slanted eyes, thick lips and long hair. Hedhal did not mention his hair and eye color, but it is obvious that they are black.


    Rus squeezes the bag of mana stones of blood and runs at full speed to where the woman''s house is. This time he is focusing all his attention on his surroundings as he moves to prevent anyone from seeing him and, of course, he will take advantage of the war to take all the stones he can.

 17 Blood spear

    Rus is already near Celelin''s house, on the way he has seen some guards, but this time he has easily avoided them, there was even an occasion when he had to jump over a house, before it was impossible for Rus to do something as surprising as jumping more than 5 meters and falling to the ceiling without making noise. All this is possible thanks to the improvement his body has had. Just a few houses from Celelin''s house, he thinks about creating his blood ring to be prepared for anything that happens inside the house, although he trusts Hedhal a little, he still doesn''t trust him enough to put aside security measures against any sudden situation. As always, some drops of blood accumulate on his index finger and take the shape of the ring.


    He suddenly notices something different, normally, the amount of blood he uses to create the blood ring makes him feel a little exhausted. But right now Rus does not feel tired at all, his energy is in perfect condition, he thinks that maybe it is because his body improved due to the drop of bright blood, even so, he can not pass any improvement on his body and skills.


    He stops in a small alley where there is absolutely no one around and is only 2 houses from that woman''s house according to the description that Hedhal gave him. Rus needs to know what is happening with his blood and wants to do it before entering that house or approaching more people from the tribe. He thinks about turning his blood ring back into liquid blood, with that blood in the center of his palm, Rus draws more drops of blood. He believes that there is a high probability that the blood he can draw from his body has increased, so he is drawing more and more drops of blood until he reaches his previous limit of 40 drops of blood, when Rus used to extract more than 20 drops of blood, his body would start to run out quickly and if he reached 40 drops of blood, his body would collapse due to the loss of energy.


    Now Rus has exceeded that limit and has already drawn 50 drops of blood from his body! The amount of drops that he can extract from his body continues to increase until he stops at the drop of blood 70, which is where he already begins to feel that it is the limit if he continues to extract more drops of blood his body will collapse.


    There are a total of 70 drops of blood that have already accumulated to create 2 blood balls 8 cm long and wide in each hand. Each blood ball has a total of 35 drops of blood. Rus believes that this is enough to create a spear, but he has to reduce the number of drops of blood since the weight of the blood balls if he passes them from liquid to solid will be so high that they would fall from his hands and it would be even worse if one of those balls falls on his feet... He quickly decreases the size of the blood balls until each one is 5 cm long and wide.


    Then, Rus tests with a single ball of blood by passing it from liquid to solid, he is already prepared in case the ball weighs a lot, but when he feels the weight. He realizes that it is quite light compared to before, he does the same with the other blood ball and verifies that he can easily move his hands without feeling that the blood balls can fall at any moment.


    He combines the 2 blood balls turning them into one, after that with his hands he begins to mold the blood so that it gradually becomes the hilt of a short spear and with some finishing touches Rus creates the tip of the spear. He looks at the spear half a meter long with an expression of happiness "With this spear it would be much easier to fight against any enemy, the only problem I have is to explain this kind of skill to anyone who sees it..."


    Rus had already thought about it before, the fact that he has this kind of skill to control blood can cause him many problems. Now that he discovered that he can use this skill to attack and even create a spear that will allow him to use the spear techniques his father taught him, his only problem is what to do to prevent people with a lot of power from getting interested in him by his skill of blood. If Rus can come out of the tribe and goes to the country of the dragon god of light. He doesn''t know how people in that country can react to their blood skills...


    With his mind a little confused when he thinks about all those things, he decides to leave those thoughts for another time. Rus turns the spear back into a ball of blood and absorbs it in his body leaving only his blood ring on the index finger of his right hand. He comes out that alley with careful steps in case there is someone on this street. Verifying that the whole place is empty, Rus looks at Celelin''s house, a house that is a little different from the other houses, its exterior appearance is very old and neglected, but it is much better than his house.


    He approaches the house and stops right next to the door. Rus breathes deeply when he finds it a bit awkward to talk to someone from the tribe on his own initiative, although he is only fulfilling Hedhal''s request for help to help this woman who seems to be in a very delicate emotional state, to the point of possibly getting to commit suicide if something happens to her son in the war, since it is the only family left to her.


    "Knock Knock!" Rus knocks on the door a couple of times, wait a minute but nobody answers. He already expected something like this to happen, usually, someone who went through such difficult things as probably losing his son in a war will not open the door to strangers... He thinks about what he should do. Rus looks with a thoughtful and deep look at the door, she wonders what she does in this place, just because someone was kind to him after so many years shouldn''t be reason enough to do this kind of thing.


    "Sigh, I better go, I''m not obligated to continue doing this favor if she doesn''t want to come out" Rus says this in a low voice and slowly walks away from the door. But after only having taken 3 steps, a female voice suddenly sounds from inside the house "You''re... a boy, right?" The voice is a little muted and with a touch of suspicion, but even with those clear signs that she is nervous and distrusts everyone, she still gathered enough courage to speak with Rus.


    Rus is a little surprised to hear Celelin''s voice, he really doubted whether to continue in this place, but now that she has spoken, he can only continue with Hedhal''s request. Rus responds quickly "I am, I am a boy, are you Celelin?" He understands that she has spoken because she heard the voice of a boy if she had heard the voice of an adult... She would definitely have remained silent. Rus is grateful that his voice has not changed and remains similar to that of a 15-year-old boy.


    Celelin doubts for a moment to hear that this boy calls her by her name, she clenches her teeth and opens the door "Come, if you stay outside the elite warriors can find you and that would be very bad" Rus nods looking at the woman''s beautiful face in front of him, her appearance is much better than Hedhal described.


    He stops looking at the woman''s face and looks inside the house. There are very few things, a wooden table with some chairs, some kitchen utensils, it seems that there are also 2 rooms and some decorations quite common in the tribe like small wooden statues of a black dragon.


    "You can sit wherever you want..." Says the woman as she sits in one of the chairs. She keeps talking after seeing Rus also sit in one of the chairs "Why do you know my name?" Celelin asks looking directly into Rus''s eyes.


    Rus responds without intending to have that kind of thing in secret "I met Hedhal by chance, he told me to visit you since you are very depressed about having your son in the war, I really don''t know what he intended by sending a stranger to comfort his former friend''s wife"


    She remains silent for a few seconds, Celelin did not expect that the man who was her husband''s best friend would still care so much for her. She will try to find an opportunity to thank Hedhal, even so, Celelin does not understand why this child is still here and not with the rest of the people preparing for war.


    "My name is Rus, I don''t know if you''ve ever heard of me" Rus decided to use what he learned with Hedhal, he introduced himself first without having to wait for the other person to ask his name.


    "Rus... Are you the son of the former chief of the tribe?" She remembers the name of this child since 5 years ago she was jealous of this child''s family, with both parents alive and a very intelligent son. Although those jealousies only lasted a moment because of what happened next.


    "Yes, it is incredible that you remember my name" Rus looks at the woman''s eyes, she seems to have cried a lot since her eyes are a little red and swollen.


    Celelin smiles slightly and says "I have heard that you have had a very bad time since your parents died, it is not your fault, the people of this tribe hate other races too much"


    "Don''t worry, at least I''m still alive" Rus thinks about this woman''s son "What did your son do to get the attention of the elite warrior leader?"


    The woman''s complexion changes to a pale white when she hears someone talk about her son "My son, Reo, if it weren''t for him, I would be dead"

 18 A calm mind

    "When I heard the news that boys and men have to go to war on a mandatory basis, I immediately refused to send my Reo to that kind of place... But those men started killing the wives and daughters of the men who rejected the order and the men and boys turned them into slaves who can''t even think for themselves!" She bites the corner of the lower lip of her nerves when she remembers how the women, the elderly, and some children died in front of her eyes. Celelin continues talking after a few seconds in silence "I was also supposed to die, but my son began to say some things that apparently seemed to please the chief of the elite warriors. I know I must be happy because at least my son will not die so easily since one of the strongest men of the tribe will teach him to fight. The problem is that my son must fulfill a promise, is that until Reo does not obtain important achievements for the tribe, he will not be able to see me again and if he does not fulfill it they will kill me"


    Rus did not expect the tribe to have so many internal problems, he learned long ago from his father the basics of being a good leader, clearly, this man Krum is failing in the most important aspect that is to make people trust your leadership. Or, sooner or later, the whole tribe will do whatever it takes to kill you.


    "It''s quite strange that the leader of the elite warriors was there considering it was an unimportant task for someone in his position" Rus asks confused.


    "It is not so strange, it is rumored that this man, Onsul, fulfills all the orders of the chief of the tribe without hesitation and that is not all... He likes to see people suffer" Celelin''s body trembles a little when he remembers the smile of that man when he saw how they killed such helpless people "When they were killing the people of the tribe, I saw how Onsul had a twisted smile of happiness to see how people asked for mercy and shouted in pain"


    "Oh... he is that kind of person who enjoys the misfortune of others" That reminds Rus of the day his parents died, at that time there was a man who laughed while killing the most loyal men of his father. But he doesn''t remember who he was...


    "Grrrrrr!" "Brrrrrrr!" Rus'' stomach sounds again for the second time in the day and this time the sound was much louder! Rus is quite ashamed because he feels he is asking this woman for food with just the sound of his stomach.


    Celelin looks at Rus who looks at the floor nervously, she will not deny that she was surprised to hear that noise, although that noise of hunger has heard it hundreds of times from her son''s stomach "Calm down, I will prepare you something to eat, you must be very hungry, I imagine you have not eaten something decent in a long time"


    "It''s not necessary, I''ll find food somewhere else!" Rus repeatedly refuses to hear that this woman will make him something to eat. He sees that Celelin smiles and says nothing as she goes to the area where the kitchen is.

    Seeing that he cannot do anything to prevent her from preparing him some food, he can only sit waiting in this chair. Rus looks at Celelin''s back, she reminds him of a lot of his mother, a very kind woman who cared for anyone and even when an animal was injured once, she became sad enough to cry for many hours. In the last few hours, Rus has seen things from the tribe that he would never have expected, he was sure that everyone in the Kellai tribe was bad people who only wanted the death of their parents and they liked to treat him like a slave. Now that he saw this woman who doesn''t seem to have any problem with him because she is of mixed race, Rus thinks again about what he should do in the future. He is thinking if he should only avenge himself on Krum and his men and forgive the people of the tribe. But if he does, it would mean that the tribe would run out of tribal chief and that would be really problematic, in addition to Rus not wanting to take up his father''s job, he is very interested in the outside world, in addition to punishing the people who made their mother suffer in the country of the dragon god of light and not to mention that she has to enroll in a magical academy to fulfill her mother''s dream.


    In any case, that is for the future, because although his body is much better than before and has those blood skills, it is still not enough to defeat people as strong as Krum or the leader of the elite warriors. Rus believes that if he faces guards or warriors, he should be able to fight without problems now that he can create a spear with his blood. Rus immediately stop thinking about such problematic things, look at this cozy house and the atmosphere of tranquility in the surroundings. Rus smiles and closes his eyes letting his mind and body rest in silence without feeling scared, nervous, angry and many more negative things he has felt in the last 5 years.


    ...


    On a training ground with many rocks 1 meter high and half a meter wide in the surrounding area placed in a row. A kneeling child is panting with fatigue, next to him there are several short spears, some have a broken tip and others have bloodstains on their hilts.


    "Is this all yesterday''s words are worth, boy?" A black figure comes out of the shadow of one of the rocks. Onsul looks at Reo without expression "I guess I should kill you since you don''t seem to have a strong will to resist my training"


    "Haa Haaa, N-no, I can continue, just stay there and wait. I will show you that I can make a hole through one of these rocks without problems" Reo has a proud look at saying this. He does not intend to surrender to such a test and more when his mother''s safety is at stake. Reo takes one of the short spears with bloodstains, those blood stains come from the wounds he made on his hands while he tried to make a hole in the rock in front of him.


    Onsul nods when he sees Reo''s determination "I hope he doesn''t waste that pill on you, boy..." When he says this, he disappears again in the shadow of that rock.


    Reo''s spear quickly changes color until it turns completely black. This is a racial skill that he acquired by consuming a pill given by Onsul. This skill is to cover any weapon of darkness, increasing the resistance of the spear to be able to break things like the big rock in front of him without the spear ending broken.


    Reo adopts one of the positions to fight with a spear that was taught by Onsul, his knees bend a little, his back also bends and his right arm that holds the spear stretches like the bowstring. His heart beats quickly without stopping, Reo awaits the perfect moment. From one moment to another he jumps at high speed where the rock is, the tip of the spear hits the rock "Crack!" A small hole is formed in the rock, but when half of the tip of the spear was about to finish drilling the rock, it returns to its original color and breaks into many pieces!


    "Again!" He says with an angry voice. Reo has not been able to learn to control that racial skill he obtained and that is not the worst. Onsul told him that he has many more skills, but he has to learn them to control in order to use them.


    "Crack!" Another spear is broken when he tries to make the hole in the rock again, Reo''s chest rises and falls at a very fast pace, he takes another spear, but this time he does not adopt his combat position. Reo understands that the main problem is his skill, so he lets his mind be as calm as possible, simply focusing on his racial skill.


    Onsul looks at Reo with curiosity from the shadows, he had the whim of choosing this boy to teach some techniques of fighting with the spear and see if he has enough to climb the stairs of power in the tribe. In the end, Onsul became interested in the things that Reo does, that boy even improved the posture to attack with the spear he taught him and did it in just 5 hours! For this reason, he gave the boy a very valuable pill that drives the evolution of a person from one of the races of the dragon god of darkness. Onsul only hopes that this pill has not been used in vain.


    The spear that Reo has in his hands is changing color to black again, but this time he doesn''t stop alone there, he thinks about doing something more interesting. Reo knows that this racial skill is used to cover the spear of darkness, but it is only the outside, this time it will cover the inside of the tip of the spear with darkness, seeing what kind of improvement it can have.


    With his spear covered in darkness both inside and out, he takes a deep breath and attacks the rock "Crack!!!" With a loud sound that resonates throughout the courtyard, the entire rock is broken into pieces, a rock one meter high and half a meter wide!


    "Clap Clap" Onsul appears from the shadows of one of the rocks clapping slowly, he is not too surprised by what happened, he could see perfectly what Reo did with his racial skill, it is something that only a few people can use. Although it is possible to use it if taught, but no one in this world would share their knowledge so easily "You did well, although you still have to practice much more since I didn''t ask you to break the rock into pieces, I asked you to make a hole for it"


    Reo smiles proudly, do you think it is normal for him to get these kinds of results, about making a hole in the stone? It''s only a matter of time for him to do it. Reo is sure that if he continues with this rhythm, he will defeat any type of enemy the tribe has, no matter who he is, he will make sure to kill them all.


    ...


    Rus has a look of helplessness when he looks at the man in front of him, this man is the guard who should have been at the door waiting for him to descend from the mountain of flowers of Rushu with the stones, his name is Jabbe. Rus was at Celelin''s house for half an hour because she prepared a very delicious meal that almost made him cry and also talked about some things with her. He managed to fulfill Hedhal''s request to help Celelin restore his mood, yet he also benefited greatly from speaking with her, since many of his thoughts of revenge without control over the entire tribe disappeared and he was also able to experience something he has not tried for many years, which is talking to someone who has no bad intentions towards him. It can be said that the two won something.


    When he left Celelin''s house, he wanted to go for more stones since it is still too early and he has nothing else to do. Rus was very careful not to alarm any guard, but in the end, he met Jabbe at the door that led to the mountain... And if it wasn''t worse, Jabbe was looking at him with a lot of hate!


    "Why didn''t you give me the stones yesterday? You were punished for yourself!" Jabbe says an angry voice when several veins swell throughout his body demonstrating how angry he is.


    "Well... because you were nowhere" Rus responds logically, but he sees Jabbe''s angry expression get even more angry! He knows that this is not going to end very well, so he prepares to fight with this man at any time.

 19 Fire

    "I was busy eating, you just had to wait a few hours!" Jabbe clenches his fists tightly, looks at Rus fiercely "I had to endure for half an hour the humiliation of being hit several times in the stomach by your damn fault, a beast with mixed blood!"


    "That again..." Rus says quietly, although he is prepared to fight at any moment, he still wanted to try to reason with Jabbe and that this matter doesn''t get so complicated since Jabbe seemed like a serious man. But it turns out that this man who seemed so calm is another scum like most people in this tribe.


    "I need to vent, come, I will punish you by giving you a beating that will leave you barely able to move and after hitting you you will go to the mountain to bring more red stones" Jabbe says this as if it was a fact that Rus has to accept a beating to amend the punishment that he received.


    Jabbe walks slowly towards Rus "Don''t worry, I won''t use my spear, I don''t need to use it with a useless mixed race like you" He stretches his right arm to grab this boy''s neck.


    us easily dodges Jabbe''s hand by moving his body a little, sighs internally "I thought you were also different from the rest, a shame..." Jabbe who already has red veins in his eyes because of anger, says "What nonsense are you saying? Just let me punish you or I can get serious and I''ll break your arm"


    Seeing that it is impossible to talk to Jabbe. Rus gets tired of continuing to enduring these people of the tribe who continue to treat him like garbage. In the same way, he will leave here in a few days, so he will experience with this man all the changes that his body has had and now is the best time to do it since there is no one near.


    Rus has been dodging Jabbe''s hand several times, Jabbe moves his hand faster over time, but it is still easy for Rus to dodge it, he gets tired of dodging and kicks Jabbe''s stomach without containing his strength.


    Jabbe smiles with contempt when he sees that this boy is attacking him, he lets the kick hit him without the intention of dodging it. Jabbe thinks he will let Rus know the difference between a child and an adult "Ughh!?" Suddenly, Jabbe''s body is thrown mercilessly against the black wooden walls, while his expression is a combination of disbelief and surprise.


    "Bum!"


    "Hmmm? It was easier than I thought" Rus calmly looks at Jabbe who is lying on the ground clutching his stomach in pain.


    "Hahaha... V-very good boy, I underestimated you. Cough, cough!" Jabbe coughs fiercely, he rises from the ground and with all the incredibly swollen veins of his body he takes the long spear on his back "If I kill you I will only have to endure a slightly stronger punishment, but that''s it" With the spear in his right hand. The presence and appearance of Jabbe are similar to a beast that can be seen on the outskirts of the tribe or that is the impression that Rus de Jabbe has at the moment.


    Jabbe jumps to where Rus is creating a cloud of dust on his back caused by the surrounding dry land. He attacks Rus with his spear so fast that the wind around the tip of the spear causes more dust clouds to appear.


    Rus is not using any fighting technique, he is just testing the reaction time and the reflexes of his body. The tip of the spear passes just a few centimeters from Rus''s skin. There have been some moments when the edge of the spearhead almost cuts his skin, but it is because he has not yet become accustomed to this body that it is practically a new body.


    "Stop dodging!" Jabbe says with sweat all over her body. He doesn''t know how many hits with his spear he has used against Rus, probably more than 30, and yet he hasn''t been able to touch a single hair of that boy!!! He stops attacking at random and prepares to use one of the special techniques with the spear he learned while training to be a warrior [wind beak] a special spear technique based on the attack of an avian beast by the name of Raksa. Although in the end his strength was not enough to be a warrior and he was assigned to be a simple guard!


    Without feeling tired while dodging Jabbe''s spear all this time, Rus feels a tingling in his entire body to feel the incredible sensation of using his body to the limit. He looks at the bag of stones that is tied to his hip with a thin rope, tying the bag was Celelin''s idea, making it easier to move without being afraid that the bag will fall and he will lose the red smoke from the stones to keep his hair and eyes black. Of course, he didn''t tell Celelin anything about the stones, she helped him since Rus seemed uncomfortable carrying the bag in his hand all the time. He was about to fight back with some fighting technique that would increase his strength and hit Jabbe with a blow to the head. But suddenly he felt a terrible sense of danger that made him back several meters involuntarily.


    Rus sees that Jabbe''s knees are bent, his right leg is several centimeters forward and the other leg is several centimeters back. The strangest thing is that he is holding the bottom of the spear with both of his hands while in his holster.


    He understands that what Jabbe is going to use is a special technique with the spear, Rus doesn''t know what that special spear technique is since the special techniques he has learned are only those that his father taught him, therefore, he doesn''t know any of the special spear techniques used by the tribe''s guards or warriors. Even so, Rus''s sense of danger about Jabbe is real. He stops testing the state of his body and uses a fighting technique that serves to increase speed [Khine Steps] a fighting technique that one of the ancient chiefs of the tribe learned by watching the two-legged beast Khine run, which is known to be the fastest beast around the tribe. Rus lets the upper part of his body relax, causing his arms to swing from side to side as if he couldn''t use them. He centers all his forces on his legs, preparing to move at such a speed that he could move almost twice his current speed! Although it is difficult to attack when using this fighting technique...


    Jabbe jumps several meters in the air in the direction of where Rus is, but this time with his special spear technique, he uses his right foot to propel his body and make several turns in the air. He turns around 5 laps and at each turn the wind that his body produces increases in large quantities covering everything around him with dust clouds as he spins faster and faster!


    Rus dodges by jumping several meters from Jabbe before he finishes using his special spear technique "Pummm!" Jabbe''s spear that was on his back sheathed a few seconds ago digs into the ground causing a hole the size of 3 heads of adult men.


    "???" Rus opens his mouth with surprise, he has no time to think what to do to fight back since that man attacks again and appears in an instant only half a meter from Rus! "Pummm!!" "Pummm!!" There are more and more holes in the ground that make Rus have trouble moving around, which makes it difficult to use his fighting technique. He doubts whether he should use his blood spear and end this pointless fight with one of his special spear techniques. The problem is that Rus does not want someone to see him use his blood to form a spear, it is fine if they see him fight, but if they see him using his blood spear they will capture him and probably torture him to obtain information about his skill and how to obtain it...


    "This smell..." Rus suddenly smells like something burning, he looks around but sees nothing that is burning, Rus jumps as high as he can while dodging Jabbe and effectively sees a lot of smoke in various places of the tribe! The worst part is that one of those places is at the address where that Celelin woman''s house is!

    "Stop, the tribe is burning!" Rus urgently shouts at Jabbe, he is surprised that Jabbe hasn''t smelled the smell of smoke, but then he remembers that his sense of smell is much better now.


    "Haa haa haaa, don''t tell lies! If you think you''ll cheat me so you can attack me off guard, you''re totally wrong, you stupid little one!" Jabbe responds, breathing hard for the incredible fatigue he feels when using his special spear technique so many times.


    Rus frowns, he doesn''t have time to continue in this place fighting a pointless fight with this man who only thinks with his muscles. Although he recently met Celelin, that little time was enough for Rus to appreciate her. Rus creates his blood spear without hesitation and immediately uses a special technique that will end this fight by taking advantage of Jabbe being very exhausted.


    Jabbe looks incredulous at Rus''s spear, only saw that the boy pulled a red spear out of nowhere. Even so, he prepares to continue attacking regardless of whether Rus has a spear or not, for him it is the same. However, from one moment to another without having time to react, he sees the tip of that red spear pierce his chest "W-what?" Those are the last words Jabbe says while her body falls to the ground lifeless.


    The special spear technique that Rus used to kill Jabbe is [Wind Path]. A combination of his fighting technique [Khine Steps] that increases his movement speed and use his spear in a perfect position in front of him that allows him to create an opening in the wind avoiding wind resistance so that he does not get in his way making his movement speed more than triple his current speed! However, this special spear technique has a very annoying problem and it is that every time it is used it is more difficult to breathe to the point of being able to die if it is used very frequently.


    Rus approaches Jabbe''s body "Sigh, I really killed him..." He had no plans to kill Jabbe, no matter how much hate he felt when he heard Jabbe''s cruel words, he just wanted to leave him without limbs at most. Another problem with [wind path] is that it limits movement a lot, it only allows you to attack from the front without being able to move to other directions. Rus looks without emotion at Jabbe''s body, shakes his head and stops thinking about it quickly. Anyway, Rus is not really worried about killing this kind of crap.


    With his blood spear in his hand, he runs to Celelin''s house. He is not worried that anyone will see him use this spear or any of his blood skills since Rus doubts anyone will notice him with the tribe on fire.


    "Aaaaaaggghhhhh!!"


    "Help, someone, help me!"


    Rus sees a person engulfed in flames who runs without direction while screaming painfully, ignores that person and keeps running. Along the way, he sees many more people on fire, as well as many houses on fire, the only houses he sees that are not on fire are houses made of black wood. Even so, the whole place seems as if the dragon god of fire had descended from the sky and spit a flame over the tribe.


    "Wait... Dragon god of fire?" Rus instantly realizes the reason why the tribe is on fire, the Clafall tribe is attacking


    He is already quite close to Celelin''s house, just when Rus just needed to go one more street to get to Celelin''s house, he sees a man with short orange hair with a twisted smile. The man has no full body armor like the guards and warriors of the Kellai tribe. This man only has a sleeveless shirt, pants that only reach the knees and something similar to shoes that cover almost nothing on the skin of the feet. The man''s hands are engulfed in flames, but not because they are burning, he is throwing fireballs the size of a baby''s head into the houses of the tribe that are not yet on fire.


    "Oh?" The man looks at Rus with a look of contempt. Create a fireball and throw it at Rus.

 20 War against the Clafall tribe

    "What''s going on!?" Krum yells at the 3 men kneeling in front of him, leaving his countenance relaxed sideways when he hears that some parts of the tribe are burning.


    "It''s a surprise attack from the Clafall tribe, they apparently learned that we would attack them and decided to attack first..." Says one of the men with a little sweat sliding down his face.


    Krum frowns with his finger touching his chair repeatedly. He is convinced that his plan for a surprise attack against the Clafall tribe was discovered due to some traitor of the tribe, he looks at these men who are part of the elite warriors he built before becoming the head of the Kellai tribe "What happened to the barrier? How is it possible that the warriors of the Clafall tribe have burned some houses of the tribe?" Krum asks confused. The tribe has a barrier that blocks the entrance of anyone other than the Kellai tribe and, of course, the barrier also serves to prevent beasts from entering the tribe by some blind spot on the walls of the tribe.


    "According to some guards, there are about 200 warriors of the Clafall tribe with advanced racial skills who entered the tribe by burning the great gate. The barrier was not activated at all, I suspect someone might have deactivated it without us noticing..." Says the same man who spoke before with a touch of nervousness in his voice.


    "Someone deactivated the barrier without any of you noticing!?" Krum says with an enraged tone of voice. The barrier has been protecting the tribe for more than 300 years and suddenly it is deactivated without any of its strongest elite warriors realizing ... this is going to be a big stain on his reputation as chief of the tribe. Kellai! One of the largest and strongest tribes in Mogrim, one of the few territories with valuable resources on the continent of the dragon gods that are not controlled by any country of any dragon god "Sigh, it makes no sense to worry about that, it''s done. What is the situation in the tribe?"


    "The warriors who entered the tribe at this time are creating chaos in the south and east of the tribe, the east that is where Rushu''s mountain of flowers is it is still intact" Says another man, who continues to speak "Most of the 2,500 guards, warriors, slaves and a dozen elite warriors who were nearby preparing for war, ran to defend the great gate in a matter of minutes, so, apart from those 200 warriors of the tribe Clafall, no one else has been able to enter the tribe"


    "No one else? How many warriors of the Clafall tribe are out of the tribe?" Krum asks with a calmer expression. If those who came to invade are less than 1000 warriors and only 200 warriors with advanced racial skills. He is sure that his army can end them with minor damage and even if there are a little more warriors with advanced racial skills, it is still possible to kill them all with their 440 elite warriors. In addition, there is the fact that he has 5 elite warriors who have reached the third stage of evolution in their racial skills. When someone with the blood of a dragon god reaches the third stage, apart from the fact that half of the body is covered with scales, they can also learn special racial skills that the thoroughbred dragons have. The problem with these special racial skills is that most are extremely difficult to control if they are not practiced for some years. Fortunately, there are still some special racial skills that can be used with a few days of practice and 5 of their elite warriors managed to reach this stage of evolution!


    The men in the room look at each other as if they doubt something. Finally one of them says with a grim look "It is estimated that there are about 2000 warriors in the first stage, 600 warriors in the second stage and... it seems that there are 4 warriors in the third stage. It is only a matter of time for that our army cannot resist the attack of so many warriors of the Clafall tribe"


    Krum feels that the temperature in his body dropped several degrees upon hearing the words of one of his elite warriors. He did not expect the Clafall tribe to have so many warriors in the second stage and 4 warriors in the third stage! "According to reports from half a month ago, the Clafall tribe had just over 300 warriors in the second stage and 2 warriors in the second stage. Why do they suddenly have 800 warriors in the second stage and 4 warriors in the third stage!?" Krum says in a voice so loud that it echoes throughout the room.


    "The warriors who provide us with intelligence from the Clafall tribe stopped sending us messages more than 2 weeks ago. So we don''t know anything about what happened in the Clafall tribe so that they suddenly got so many warriors from stages 2 and 3. We wanted to verify that it was not an error before reporting it" Says the first man who spoke with sweat on his face, but now his body is shaking.


    "It''s been 2 weeks since they stopped receiving messages and they still hadn''t informed me just because they wanted to confirm that it wasn''t a stupid mistake... I understand, I know some of you are useless" Krum snaps his fingers as he stares coldly at the trembling man.


    Suddenly, 4 figures covered with a layer of darkness appear in the room. Krum says "As punishment for such negligence, I will only kill 1 of you. It will be a quick death just because you are my elite warriors" The moment he stops talking, 1 of the figures covered with a layer of darkness disappears and reappears in front of that man who is trembling. The man simply trembles and says nothing waiting for his death. The figure with the cloak of darkness touches the forehead of the man, in less than 1 second the whole body of the man is covered by black and without making noise his body is swallowed by his own shadow!


    "You 2, go quickly to protect the mountain of Rushu flowers, I don''t want those fools of the Clafall tribe to burn anything, although I doubt they will" Krum tells the remaining 2 men. They nod and disappear in the shadows.


    Krum looks at the 4 men in the room, they are the ones who evolved to stage 3 "Hmmm? Where is Onsul?" Onsul, who is his right hand, is the first person of the 5 elite warriors who evolved to stage 3, so he has had plenty of time to control some of the special racial skills he acquired.


    "He is with that child. That Onsul who kills children without blinking is really training a child he met 1 day ago to the point of not being here at a time like this, how funny" Sounds the voice of a woman with a small laugh of one of the figures with the cloak of darkness.


    "Lariel, Chief Krum asked you where Onsul was, he didn''t ask for your opinion." A thick voice sounds from another figure.


    "Always so boring and serious, Draurk" The woman speaks again, she really doesn''t seem interested in being respectful to Krum.


    "Silence!" Krum looks at 2 with a frown. He quickly orders "That all elite warriors be at the great gate prepared to kill anyone who tries to enter. Draurk and Lariel will be the main support against any warrior of the third stage. They don''t have to worry about feeling overwhelmed, Onsul will surely seem to help at any moment"


    "Yes!" The 2 disappear in the dark.


    "Now I need you 2, Zeluk and Durma to quickly get rid of the warriors of stage 2 who entered the tribe, probably some elite warriors are already fighting with them, but I need each of those elite warriors to be at the big door quickly!" Krum says in a more relaxed voice. He sees them disappear without saying anything. They have always been more of the type who say nothing. He did not expect that his attempt to ambush the Clafall tribe would result in this kind of situation... Even so, if they want a war with the Kellai tribe, then they will have what they want. Think Krum with a deep look.


    ...


    Rus dodges that fireball easily, he didn''t expect to meet an enemy so fast and one with such strange skills to the point of throwing fire with his hands!


    "Did you dodge it? Wow, I guess you should be in stage 2 or maybe near stage 2..." The man stops talking and starts throwing fireballs at incredible speed to the point of throwing 5 fireballs in 3 seconds!


    With his feet barely touching the ground because he has been jumping from side to side trying to dodge all those fireballs, Rus is irritated with this guy who seems to be playing with him. He has no time to fight this madman! Rus slowly approaches where this man is and without hesitation throws several knives of blood he has just created.


    The man did not expect this boy to have hidden weapons, he dodges the knives by pushing his body with the flames of his hands. With a smile of contempt on his face, he attacks this child again, but even faster! However, he suddenly feels a stabbing pain in his back. He looks at some red knives stuck in his back with his blood coming out of his wounds without any control "H-how did you do that?" As soon as the man asks, so much anger arises inside him to the point of covering his entire body in yellow flames "Bastard, how dare you hurt me!?"


    Rus feels that the ambient temperature increases a lot, he understands that he cannot compete against this man, he is clearly weaker. Just when he was about to flee at full speed, several black spears is nail in the body of that man with yellow flames! "!!?"


    A man in black armor with the emblem of a two-headed dragon appears from the shadows of one of the houses that are formed by the light emitted by the man of the Clafall tribe. More black spears come out of the shadows and continue to nailing the body of the burning man.


    Rus does not know what is happening but decides to flee from that place to go to his goal, which is Celelin''s house.


    "I''m going to burn you to the ashes!"

    "Bummm!!!!"


    An explosion sounds loudly on Rus''s back, he keeps running without looking back.


    ...


    Rus finally arrives at the street where Celelin''s house is. He saw many of those men with orange hair indiscriminately attacking everything they see and setting everything on fire. Similarly, he also saw many of those men in black armor with the emblem of a 2-headed dragon.


    He sees that all the houses on the street are on fire. Seeing this, Rus immediately thinks of the worst, that this kind woman is probably already dead "No!" He shakes his head quickly and runs to Celelin''s house. Rus gathers all his courage and enters that sea of flame. Inside the house, he sees that the whole place crumbles and gradually turns to ashes. Rus looks for any sign of Celelin, finally finds a charred body kneeling while looking at the sky as if he were praying to the dragon god of darkness before he died...


    Rus'' eyes lose their brightness for a moment, he sighs internally and turns around to leave this place. But suddenly he sees a boy with a spear in his right hand that looks a little younger than him looking at him as if he had killed someone in his family. "Wait, this woman is..." Rus doesn''t have time to finish his sentence since that boy suddenly attacks him at high speed with the spear that is now completely black and with red eyes covered in tears of infinite anger that seems to be feeling.

 21 Reo

    10 minutes ago.


    Reo has been training his racial skills along with his special spear techniques. He has been improving extremely fast, to the point of being able to use 3 racial skills that usually take a couple of weeks for most people to learn to use. Or so said his teacher, Onsul.


    His previous training was to create holes in some rocks with his spear. Now he is training his other 2 racial skills. The first skill that Reo learned is to cover his spear in and out of the dark to prevent it from breaking easily. His second skill is to cover his feet with darkness to increase his speed and the third racial skill he learned to use is...


    While Reo was thinking about what he learned, a black beast-shaped figure suddenly appears behind him. An arm with long claws quickly approaches his back with the obvious intention of hurting him. Reo smiles confidently. He uses the stick of his spear that is currently black to block the claw. The claw that was supposed to easily break such a thin stick can''t make a single scratch!


    Reo looks at the shape of the black beast. In addition to having the shape of a 4-legged beast with a lot of fur on its body, it has no eyes, but it has long, sharp claws on each limb and a mouth with many pointed teeth. He covers his feet of darkness in less than 1 second, in an instant it appears behind the beast, attacking its with his spear several times leaving some holes in its body. However, the holes close as if the beast had never been injured.


    He dodges several attacks of the black beast while frowning, but there is a smile on his lips as if he had everything under control. With the beast attacking randomly without any attack pattern, Reo stops dodging and hopes the beast will attack him with his claws. Just when the claws were about to shatter Reo''s face, a dark barrier appears in front of him. The moment the claws of the beast touch the barrier, many black tentacles leave the barrier and become entangled in the entire body of the beast, which causes it to fall to the ground without being able to move. This barrier is his third racial skill, he is very resistant against any type of attack and when a living being touches the barrier, he can release some tentacles that serve to entangle the enemy.

    "Easy" Reo says quietly, he repeatedly attacks the entire body of the beast with his black spear until its entire body becomes a black smoke.


    "Very slow, it took you 5 minutes to beat a simple shadow beast. You can only say it was an easy battle when you win with just 1 hit in less than 10 seconds, it''s a disappointment that you still can''t do that" The black smoke moves forming the figure of a person until it finally becomes Onsul.


    "10 seconds! In one hit?" Reo rolls his eyes when he hears his teacher''s irrational words "I recognize that I am a genius, but I doubt I can kill that shadow beast in a single hit and in 10 seconds even if I train for more than 1 month" Not that he couldn''t do it if he trains more, but it''s crazy that his teacher is talking about killing that shadow beast so fast with just 1 day of training!


    "That shows that you are only a genius among the worst geniuses, you should try harder or if I don''t stop training you" Says Onsul with an emotionless voice that makes Reo feel that he is serious about what he says.


    "Well, I''ll continue training. So what kind of training should I do now?" Reo asks with a carefree smile.


    "The next thing is..." Onsul was about to speak, but suddenly he stops halfway.


    "What''s next? Why did you stop talking?" Reo looks at his teacher with an expression of curiosity.


    "Boy, let''s stop training for today, I''m going, to be honest with you, the tribe is under attack, there are some crazy people who are burning the tribe" Onsul quickly realized what is happening in town because he has several clones from him facts of darkness that some parts of the tribe observe.


    "Huh?" Reo''s carefree expression disappears, he immediately thinks of his mother "I need to go where my mother is, I don''t care about anything else!" Reo says out loud, clenches his teeth and runs to his mother''s house. Ignoring his teacher completely.


    Onsul looks at Reo without saying anything, he is not interested in that boy going to see his mother. Although he imposed the order that Reo cannot see her until he achieves significant achievements for the tribe, it is of no use if the boy''s mother dies and causes him to lose the motivation to improve. He has better things to do now, there are some people he has to deal with before they cause irreparable damage to the tribe. Anyway, although at this moment it is very dangerous to run through the tribe, he will not let that boy die so easily, not for now. Onsul disappears in the shadows while thinking about this.


    ...


    Reo runs between the buildings with his racial skill that covers his feet of darkness. On the way, he sees a bald man with a long orange beard that reaches his chest and with a strange dress different from the one worn by the inhabitants of the Kellai tribe. Reo ignores that man, but suddenly that man shoots him a fireball! He uses his spear quickly to stop that fireball.


    "Bang!!!"


    His body recedes several meters from the force of the fireball. Reo looks angry at that bearded man. He understands that he cannot go to his mother''s house with this man here, so he adopts a strange posture that makes him look especially threatening with his spear. He will use a special spear technique he learned from his teacher. His teacher told him that it was not a very strong technique, but that it is enough to fight against some warriors of stage 2. By the way, since he consumed that pill, he is officially in stage 2, but since he has only been able to learn 3 racial skills, his power is between stages 1 and 2.


    Reo is holding his spear with both hands while his two legs are wide apart and slightly bent. His speed increases even more with this posture that allows him to approach the bearded man at great speed. Reo dodges most of the fireballs and the ones he can''t dodge destroys them with his spear. Clearly, this special spear technique is very useful for dodging!


    The bearded man looks with surprise at this child who runs strangely. He gets a little more serious with his attacks. His hand that was on fire goes out and several small balls of fire appear from his fingers. He attacks this child with 10 small fireballs at once! The bearded man has a calm smile, he is already waiting to see how the child''s body turns to ashes. Even so, he is surprised to see a child who appears to be under 15 with racial skills that are from stage 2.


    Seeing how that bearded man throws so many fireballs, even if they are smaller, he makes Reo activate his dark barrier "Bang! Baang! Baaang!" The barrier that he thought was extremely difficult to break is full of cracks everywhere! Finally, Reo approaches that man half a meter, attacks with his spear using his special spear technique that until now he had not been able to use in all its splendor! Since although it is a good technique to dodge and increase its speed. Its main function is to attack!


    That boy''s spear approaches his chest. As he is still in the second stage, he cannot use racial skills that serve for defense, so he can only rely on his skills to dodge and attack. The flames come out of his shoulders that propel his body to move sideways and dodge that boy''s spear. He prepares to use one of his most powerful racial skills, but the spearhead suddenly appears on his back, does the same to dodge and the result is that the spearhead now points to his head!!


    "Enough!" The body of the bearded man is lit with yellow flames that cause an explosion that covers everything within a meter of flames. Reo, who was using his special spear technique with all his concentration, is pushed back several meters by the sudden explosion.


    Reo is increasingly angry at being humiliated by this garbage. He should already be at his mother''s house protecting her from danger. He prepares to attack again even if his body ends up hurt!


    "Enough is enough, go away boy" A very thin black figure to the point that his legs and arms are so thin that they look like spear sticks, he speaks in a familiar voice. The black figure slowly comes out of Reo''s shadow. This black figure is one of Onsul''s clones of darkness.


    "Teacher!?" Reo is surprised to hear his teacher''s voice come from that incredibly thin black figure to the point that his only meal on the day for several years was a small bowl of soup. He even doubts if he can escape confident in this black thing with his teacher''s voice...


    The black figure says nothing and launches where the bearded man is. The bearded man raises an eyebrow when he sees that black thing coming towards him. He even wants to laugh when he sees that thing. However, his desire to laugh disappears when he sees how the black figure changes shape until it is shaped like a huge beast over 4 meters tall "!!!?"


    Reo looks incredulously at the black figure "Too powerful!" Then he realizes that his teacher is really strong! Reo moves away from that place with his speed to the limit to go to his mother''s house before something really bad happens.


    ...


    "No!!!" Reo shouts with concern when he sees the street where his mother lives on fire. He runs quickly without thinking twice to his mother''s house and enters. Reo looks at the surrounding area in flames, the place he has been since he has memory, everything is turning to ashes! While searching if his mother is still here or if he has already fled, he sees the back of a short man with clothes that could be said to be simple rags, a bag tied to the hip, a red spear in his right and black hair. The man seems to be watching something black that expels smoke in front of him.


    Reo looks at that black thing on the floor with curiosity. His mind stops completely, his thoughts are completely frozen. He sees his mother, who is his only family, with his body burned until it is almost unrecognizable, however, it is impossible for him not to recognize his mother, even if all his skin burns to the point of becoming ashes.


    The first thought after his mind froze is why his mother has a prayer posture that should not be possible to adopt due to the immense pain she had to endure! Finally, with eyes covered in tears, Reo looks at that man, although it seems to be from the Kellai tribe, it makes no sense that he is here, specifically at his mother''s house, looking at his mother''s charred body! Reo thinks the man definitely has something to do with his mother not running away from this burning house and being in that prayer position!


    Suddenly, the man turns his body and looks at him "Wait, this woman is..." Reo doesn''t let the man finish talking. He grabs his spear with force and attacks him using all his strength without thinking of anything other than killing that man who has something to do with his mother''s death!
