Demons aren't so simple

The demons were frozen in the middle of their assault on me, I could not allow myself to slacken, although my speed and vision have improved, I still did not know the scope of this new power flowing through my heart.

I circulated the blood at the fastest rate my heart could take, but to my surprise, my heart rate had increased to twice its capacity, soon the crimson fog was surrounding me again before I knew it my Berserker Qi was much thicker and more abundant than previously.

I didn't feel pressure this time, I could fully see the trajectory of their attacks by analyzing the Qi of their bodies so I could trace a prediction of their attack and evade it easily, besides my speed and agility had returned to climb a fold.

"Heh, it looks like this will be easier than it looks, it's time to test my new capabilities..." I muttered while channeling the Blood Qi into the claymore.

The crimson glow became small liquid drops that slid slowly over the edge of the sword, the pattern in which the drops spread reminded me of the roots of a tree looking for nutrients in the soil, they were spreading slowly until they did not leave any place devoid of crimson in the claymore, although it seems a long process, the crimson pattern was completed in a few seconds, only that its speed was neither too fast, nor too slow.

The lines made by the crimson drops converged on the tip of the sword, the sword had become full of crimson patterns beating at the same rhythm as my heart, at the same time my Berserk Qi was being drained madly, I couldn't help but become alarmed because my Qi was much thicker than before and the sword had drained half of all my reserves, but besides an army of demons was in front of me, blood wouldn't be scarce.

Adding more Berserk Qi to the sword I made a wide horizontal cut to probe the claymore's strength, I sensed that crimson light could kill some of the demons now that my abilities had improved, so I could save time by killing several of an attack, although evading the attacks of the demons was simple, my chances to turn evasion into attack were few, and it would take quite some time to massacre the small army.

But when the crimson claymore passed through the first demon, instantly the demon became a sack of bones falling directly to the ground, meanwhile, the crimson patterns of the claymore became a little brighter, wonder blossomed in my thoughts ...

After a few small exchanges I saw how the claymore had changed, I could absorb the blood from the cuts I made, besides its sharpness was amazing, as well as its hardness, I could block the hammers of the demons without worrying that the edge would break.

Knowing that I had the full advantage due to the sharpness of the sword, the bones on the ground began to grow exponentially, I began to use a crazier style, although it left many openings in my movements, the wounds they received were slight while I could kill several demons in that instant, this time the blood of demons was completely drained by the sword, my wounds were not recovering and I frowned.

If I could not use the blood to recover my wounds or my own Qi, I had lost two great capacities...

Still, I continued killing the small army of demons, this is the first room of the demonic nest and already put me in some trouble, the next room would be much more difficult.

After a few minutes the fight was over, the bones surrounded the place where I had been fighting, some had become greyish dust, others were still intact, the view was impressive, I had survived the first room, and the most important thing is that I didn't go crazy this time, the dark fog had disappeared completely, it seems that the Berserker of the crimson world was the main problem....

As I sighed I walked towards the wall of darkness, this time it was fainter as if the lightest wind could break it, but still did not allow me to glimpse the surprises behind it.

I reluctantly looked at the sword again, the crimson patterns that stretched like veins through the claymore leaf pulsed at the same rhythm as my heart, although it was a little absurd I couldn't let go of the claymore?

I emptied my mind of unnecessary thoughts, although I had lost some useful resources such as regeneration, I had strengthened myself in another way, perhaps I had to discover some still works of my new abilities.

"Everything under the skies has its advantages and disadvantages..." I murmured as I raised the claymore to break the veil of darkness that marked the way to the next room of the demonic nest.

The darkness cut through like tofu, and I could see the situation inside the room as the darkness on the wall slowly unraveled.

This room was not as big as the previous one, it was as big as a small village square, about 20 meters diameter, on the opposite side to the wall of darkness that I had just cut there was a door blocked by darkness as well.

"It seems that this demonic nest is not going to be too easy, to be a 5-star Mortal Knight mission is a challenge even for an entire group of these...". I thought as I searched for my opponents for this room, but no demon could be seen throughout the room.

I walked slowly to the center of the room, I was not afraid, on the contrary, I was full of expectation to know what the next battle would be and what surprises it would bring me, each battle was one more step to make me stronger and shape destiny to protect the people I treasured.

But before I could continue to think about my near future a gray flash appeared at the height of my shoulder, threatening to decapitate me.

I instinctively backed up and lifted the claymore to protect myself, but the flash was too fast and a trace of blood appeared on my left arm and at the same time sparks emerged from the claymore, the collision force moved me back 2 meters, the cold sweat ran down my back.

My confidence almost leads me to perish with an incomplete body, the cut in my left arm was at the height of the biceps, It had hit the bone but it was not the time to worry about my wounds I had to plan a defense against this enemy, the problem was that I still could not see it.

I circulated all the Qi in my body to concentrate on my eyes if I could not see the attacker I had half a foot in the tomb.

When the Qi filled my eyes, my pupils again gave off crimson flashes as my sight changed, I couldn't see the attacker, but a grey flash of Qi was falling from the ceiling towards my head.

"Damn it...Demons aren't so simple." I shouted as I threw myself forward to dodge the attack, as I fell to the ground heavily I watched as the grey flash tore the air leaving a groove in the ground with 3 fingers deep.
