15 First Blood

[Perseus POV]

[A few hours before the massacre]

After the intense kiss with Olivia, I observe her boarding her flight. 

Enid approached me from behind, her arms encircling my waist in a tight embrace. "I will miss her", she murmured softly, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness. "Also, I am jealous that she got a kiss and I didn't."

I turned to face Enid, unable to suppress a smile at her playful jealousy. "Really?" I teased, raising an eyebrow in amusement.

Enid returned my gaze with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes before leaning in for a kiss of her own. I also went for a fleetly kiss, but she got greedy and began to suck. 

Since our relationship was confirmed, she began to clinch on me and become more emotional, not that I mind.

I teleported into her room and squeezed her soft ass. She moaned quietly and interrupted the kiss. I took the opportunity to teleport away while saying "I need to do something, see you later, greedy wolf".

I teleported to a mountain hill and in front of me I saw an ancient city, evident from the vibrant hues of traditional rooftops nestled amidst lush greenery and temples and shrines peek through the foliage.

Taking out my phone, I made a call. "Hi, grandma! How are you?"

"What do you need?" came as a response.

I made a fake angry expression. "Can't I just call you because I miss you? Humpf."

A chuckle came from the other end. "Sure, sure. So why did you call me? You got a girl pregnant?"

"Grandma… I called you to ask about the rules regarding the involvement of foreign outcasts in Japan."

"Well, in general, as long as your mate is from that country and is in danger, you can take action as a foreign outcast. Did you bond with that girl?"

"Yes! … No?"

Another sigh. "Did you bond with her somehow?"

"Yes!"

"Can someone break it?"

"Only me."

"A real bond is unbreakable. As long as you don't tell anyone, then it can be considered a real bond. Just don't mess around too much there and pay attention to your safety!"

"Yes! Thank you, grandma!"

Well, the rules were less complicated than I thought. Now, I need to wait for Olivia to ask me for help, and I could act. 

I mean, I'm not stupid. She got suddenly called and from what I found through the connection of my grandma, her clan is in a dire situation. I already know she will ask for my help, so I'm already prepared. It's just that if she asks me to kill people, I need to prepare myself mentally. 

In both lives, I never killed anyone, and I don't know how I will react. I heard people saying it was something that left them traumatized, while other people said it was something uncomfortable but acceptable. 

I always said that I can kill someone and not feel any guilt, but a thing is saying, while another is doing it. 

One of the quotes I always keep in mind is 'Don't do something bad, but if you do it, do it fucking perfectly.' That's why I prepare myself mentally to be ready and also create a spell where I can take 'stats' like health and mana from people I kill, so that I can develop faster. 

After a few hours, I finally created a spell called 'Predator' that can drain health and mana from my enemies to replenish my own and a bit will be transformed into permanent health and mana. A balanced spell, just how it should be, hahaha.

While waiting, I felt that Olivia wanted to start a telepathic call through the tattoo, and I accepted it. As expected, she asked for my help to clear some enemy bases and asked me what tier I am.

I never thought about it. From what I know, the ceiling in this world is tier-seven outcasts and even then, they are barely there.

Considering that with my powers I can easily cause widespread destruction within larger cities or urban areas, I can say for certain I am a fourth-tier outcast.

After the telepathic call ended, she sent me the coordinates of the bases that I needed to take care of and told me they are all a lower tier than mine.

I took a deep breath, preparing myself for what I will do and teleported to the first base. Immediately after teleporting, I got greeted by many soldiers who pointed a weapon and began to shoot. 'Welp, next time I should teleport to a safer location.'

The bullets suddenly seemed to stand still in front of me, thanks to my Infinity spell I didn't get hurt.

I raised my hand, and a dozen red orbs materialized around me. Suddenly, they moved as if they had a life of their own, and accurately hit all the soldiers making them explode in front of me. I watched this gruesome scene, where pieces of bodies were sown everywhere, and waited to see a reaction or some discomfort. After some time I couldn't feel any changes and whispered, "So… I am a monster, nice?"

I know that these people have private lives; they might be fathers, and their children are eagerly waiting at home, or they could be good people who contribute a lot to society. But I didn't care because I don't know them. It's very easy to take a life with only a wave of your hand without knowing anything about the other person. It`s like playing a video game and the only things you care is the exp and loot that the opponent will give you.

Afterwards, I teleported many times and cleared all the bases. Sometimes there was a situation where I needed to use more force, because that guy was tough, but in summary, it was easy. It was like a video game where you need to clear dungeons and shoot people who are lower levels than you.

After finishing this massacre, I teleported to a calm garden where cherry blossoms bloomed in delicate shades of pink, their petals dancing on the gentle breeze.

I could feel that after using Predator and absorbing so much vitality and mana from the fallen enemies, I reached my max cell level, and something is happening inside me. I could feel my eyes changing and drawing a lot of mana and my power riot. After some time, I could feel that whatever happened, stopped and I felt some information in my mind that solved some doubts that I had. The information that I got is that my talent celestial eyes and race voidwhisper I got it from traveling through space for some time. Probably my unconscious soul travelled in space and got influenced by its surroundings, gaining me the talent and race.

I also felt something strange with my powers, I could control them better but at the same time I felt I could cast many different and stronger spells. I checked my grimoire immediately to see if there where any chances.

Name: Perseus Caesar

Race: Voidwhisper

Age: 14

Stats:

-Health 820/820 (Body*20); Health Regeneration (82 Hp/min)

-Mana 2034/2040 (Mind*20); Mana Regeneration (204 M/min)

Body: 41 

Mind: 102

Talents: Celestial Eyes 

Skills:

-Darling of Space (Lv.4); Meditation (Lv.10); Predator (Lv.4)

Well, what is this new spell? It seems that all my spells that had something to do with space got fused in a single spell. I hope I got stronger with this fusion.

Now that I can feel my power better, I feel I got stronger and can influence the environment around me better, probably I can consider myself sixth/seventh tier, but I need to test it to be sure. 

I checked the description of the spell:

-Darling of Space (Lv.4): grants the caster innate control over space

You gotta be kidding me… what is this shitty description. From what I can comprehend, I got control over space, but it's a bit different from before. If before I could control space through spells, now I can control it freely. I can simply think what I want and I can make the perfect choice for it. For example, I want to teleport from point A to point B, before I could only through god-step, but now I can do it in different ways like through switching objects, through magical pathways or even through dimensions. This means I have a lot of choices and don't need to train them separately, because I know them all at the same level.

Still, I am a bit angry that I wasted all these years of training and didn't take this shortcut.

Its like you prepare very hard for an exam and pass it, but then you find out that the teacher uses the same questions every year. If you had known it before, you could study faster, less and even get a better grade. Still all my training wasn't for nothing, because I levelled up to LV.4, still if I knew it… Well, there is nothing I can do, at least if I ever get reborn I know where to start…
