Blood Seed

Henry asked with a calm voice, "I suppose you are Patriarch Alberto Rachon?"

Patriarch Rachon appraised the Young King in front of him. His eyes turned into slits.

"Brat, I admit that you're brave. But you overestimate yourself."

After saying this, Patriarch Rachon rushed to Henry.

No one else moved, this was a fight between both leaders.

Henry didn't hesitate and struck out with his glaive.

*CLANK*

Patriarch Rachon easily blocked his strike with his shield and countered with a powerful slash.

*CLANK*

Henry blocked it too but was send flying backwards.

Blue Ki was swirling around Patriarch Rachon, making him look like a berserker.

Henry smiled bitterly. Even though he hasn't reached the Low King Stage and hadn't the same strength as Patriarch Rachon, the difference in power was quite obvious. Patriarch Rachon fought his whole life and reached the Peak Knight Stage, while Henry only trained for one month.

Henry dropped his glaive and summoned his Blood Grimoire.

"Blood Suppressing Cage"

A gigantic blood red phantom of Henry that was many times larger than a month ago appeared, holding its large hand above the whole tribe.

*BOOM*

Everyone form the Rachon Tribe felt their blood stagnate and a tyracinal force suppressing them, making them fall on their ground.

Resistance was futile, the suppressive force was just too powerful.

Patriarch Rachon was shocked, "What in the world is that?"

"My Gift!" Stated Henry, half smiling.

The warriors from Oblivion Kingdom gulped and started worshiping Henry even more.

One move to suppress over 300.000 people.

General Urobion wasn't shocked, only surprised. He knew from the old reports how absurd the Gifts from the Kings were.

Henry didn't stop and lifted up his other hand, "Blood Devouring Sphere"

A little red sphere appeared on the sky, emitting an invisible suction force, the blood from the dead warriors started to leave their bodies, turning them into mummy like dried corpses.

This skill was another one that Henry created in the last month. It was the reason how his strength grew so fast. The sphere devoured all the blood from the deceased warriors, shining a pure bloody glow down on everyone. They could feel the mass of Ki amassing inside the sphere.

Patriarch Rachon that was on his knees couldn't take away his eyes from Henry.

His heart shuddered and he sighed, "We surrender!"

Henry expected this outcome and cancelled his suppression skill. The little sphere descended and entered his body. Henry trembled and felt his Blood Ki soaring....it would take him some time to refine all the blood that the sphere collected.

"That is good, don't worry I can tell you straight away that we will build Rachon City here with you as the overseer."

Patriarch Rachon looked up and nodded in excitement.

They talked for a bit, coming to an agreement. Patriarch Rachon took some of his warriors with him and rode to the new Capital, Atlantis. Minister Elorio was already awaiting them and started  to prepare everything to build a new city.

Henry took the army with him and they continued their attack on the Merien Tribe. It went almost the same way it did earlier when they subdued the Rachon Tribe, he smashed their defence line and suppressed Patriarch Esteban Merien and the whole tribe with his Blood Grimoire.

He subdued both tribes in one day and they started the same day with the work to build two new cities.

When the news reached the people they started to celebrate and praise their King.

At night Henry was sitting in front of a round table. With him sat Patriarch Rachon, Patriarch Merien, Minister Rlorio, General Urobion and Ancestral Priest Manuel. They were talking about the future of the Oblivion Kingdom.

Two weeks later in the throne hall....

"Today I broke through the Low King Stage, I gained an incredible skill that can make everyone stronger."

Everyone looked stunned to Henry.

He waved his hand and the Blood Grimoire appeared, floating peacefully on the table. The pages turned and a blood red seed was created. I was small but it was pulsing like a heart.

Henry reached the Low King Stage after he refined the blood from the dead warriors after the attack on both tribes. The Blood Seed skill was the first skill he got from the book itself. He read its description and was shocked.

The Blood Seed can be used to control living beings as long they aren't stronger than him. It could also be used to change the Ki from people. It would give the people the ability to devour blood and grow stronger, just like a weaker version of his Blood Devouring Sphere. After the blood seed matured and sprouted it would form another Blood Seed that could be attached to any objekt, transforming it into a growth type weapon. Imagine a whole army with that ability! The more they kill the stronger they grow!

Henry had a problem that made him worried over the last month. The skills he created were all control skills,  but he couldn't create offensive skills.

Now he gained the Blood Seed skill, that made up for this weakness. He would still try to create offensive-type skills, but thanks to his new Blood Seed Skill a new grand plan grew inside his mind.

He told them what kind of uses the Blood Seed could do and it shocked them greatly.

General Urobion got really excited, "Your Majesty how many Blood Seeds can you create?"

"As long I have enough Blood Ki I can create an endless amount of Blood Seeds." Answered Henry with a smile, General Urobion had similar thoughts as him.

"These are great news we could start to attack the Kingdoms in the south!"

Henry shook his head, "I have a three year plan, I want everyone to consume a Blood Seed and at least reach the Low Knight Stage. Only with such an army should we start our conquest.

The others thought about it and nodded, they endured over 3000 years in the north, three more years won't hurt them.

They planned everything over the whole night and in the next day the first one to receive the Blood Seeds were the 100 Royal Knights.

The next day inside the main hall were 100 Royal Knights kneeling in front of Henry who was sitting on his throne. He waved his hands and 100 Blood Seeds appeared.

"Eat!" Ordered Henry

The Royal Knights didn't hesitate and swallowed the Blood Seeds.

Veins popped up on their foreheads and all over their bodies. They looked like they were in pain but no one of them cried out.

'That are the Royal Knights for you, every single one of them reached the Low Knight Stage'

The blue Ki inside their bodies started to change and turned blood red. A savage Ki rushed out of their bodies, pressuring the area around them.

Henry and General Urobion were happy with the results, now it was the turn of the army and later every single citizen in the kingdom.

Henry didn't tell them about the fact that everyone that took the Blood Seed would fall under his control, he thought it was better to leave them in the dark.

A faint evil grin appeared on his lips.

'Not bad haha'
