Rat Hunting (Part 5)

Chapter 12 – Rat Hunting (Part 5)

thud

Ren's body fell, his body was full of cuts everywhere his uniform was just rags, his eyes had been closed a long time ago, his energy was only half due to his failed efforts to improve.

"JAA, it seems that it's already broken, well I'll go take care of these brats, it seems that they already killed ron" said the man as if the life of his comrade was worth nothing.

Ren on the other hand had already returned to the battle his qi was depleted so he began to move his spiritual power, being calm Ren breathed gently, then moved his spiritual power through every cell of his body .

The toes of his feet, the tendons, the nails, the veins, the bones, the pores, the capillaries, the hair, the hair, he let his spiritual power run through his blood, letting him improve his organs, strengthening his heart .

And now the most important thing started the most risky move, moved the spiritual power of him towards his brain.

Without Ren realizing it, a layer of silver-white energy was beginning to cover him, and his wounds were healing rapidly.

Ren without caring about anything else unintentionally moved his spiritual power towards his brain, ren felt unimaginable pain when his spiritual power entered his brain, as if hundreds of swords were piercing him, brain cells were being destroyed and rebuilt under the relentless onslaught of spiritual power.

After what was an eternity for Ren he finally finished the process of upgrading his entire body, this time there were no failures and with the advice obtained all his effort was rewarded with a notification.

[Congratulations the wearer has just obtained the skill [Impure Awakening]]

[Congratulations the wearer has just obtained the skill [Accelerated Thinking]]

Not one but two skills were obtained, opening his eyes as he got up Ren saw two girls one with blue hair and the other with blonde hair like gold, Ren's eyes widened at what he saw, Elena was covered in wounds all over her body, her arms trembled from the tightening of the bow you could see she lost three fingers on her left hand, while elizabeth had a cut so deep that if not treated quickly she could lose her right arm, and then she was the one protected by a thin barrier that could be destroyed at the slightest hit while those two girls covered him.

"It seems that not all humans are despicable…" in an inaudible murmur ren smiled as he stood up.

Ren cut his wrist with what little remained of his sword, his blood began to flow like a fountain.

[Bloodbending – Cursed Blood]

Solidifying the blood from him took the form of a sword with only one side sharp, a thin and blood-red blade, an aura of the same color as the sword began to cover Ren.

Circulating his magical energy and making it go through every inch of his body like a moment ago the notification appeared

[[Impure Awakening] has been activated]

Regardless of this, he activated the ability he just obtained.

[[Accelerated Thinking] has been activated]]

Having activated the ren skill he could feel that thanks to [Accelerated Thinking] his brain power was improved to the point that he could see everything going a little slower than before and that he could do more things at the same time.

With this ability he used quick step while chanting a spell.

"... Taking the life from the forest I was born [Vine of Life]" ren sang quickly while channeling his power, in the next instant the spell had already fallen on the girls which took them by surprise thinking it was an attack .

Before they backed up they saw a dagger and a sword heading towards them, the weapons were fast and they could not defend themselves in the position they were in.

CRRIIIIIEEE

CLANK

The screeching and shock sound surprised them and there they saw a boy with white hair with violet touches, a black uniform and a blood red aura that covered him, they could almost swear that they saw a phoenix covering him but of course it was only his imagination... ..or so they thought.

CLANK

Ren's blood sword collided with that of a hunchbacked man which sent the man flying from the impact of the clash.

BOOM

CLANK

Ren with his active abilities could clearly see the dagger man's sneak attack.

TUM

The sound of a heavy footstep came late to the ears of the man with the dagger before he felt an attack on his left side, barely blocking it, he took several steps back but when he looked forward the boy was gone.

Sharply turning his head he finally found the boy but it was too late the boy had pierced the humpbacked man's heart, at this moment the man with the daggers wondered how this boy who was on the verge of death reappeared and stronger than before , by this time he should already be dead, you have to know ren was unconscious for a whole hour.

CLANK BOOOM

The man was sent flying again, seeing that Ren had become stronger, he no longer kept the ace from him and suddenly disappeared, he had the objective of escaping from this place now that he was at a disadvantage but...

SPLURT

A powerful cut, cut his back a lot of blood came out of it and along with the wound came a strong pain as if they were pouring acid on the wound this pain made him appear and start screaming.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

The man convulsed and rubbed on the floor as if he were being tortured, the man no longer cared about anything.

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGHHHHH

However Ren didn't leave him alone either and stabbed into his abdomen and shoulder and just like before the horrible pain came with his wounds.

::::::::::::

Two hours had already passed and the girls had already recovered from Elena and Elizabeth's injuries because when the backup team arrived they used a high level spell and healed their injuries, they will need a few days of rest but they will recover and the fingers Elena's will also recover.

About ren he left after finishing he gave them a card to put his payment there and then he disappeared.

:::::::::

(Third Person POV)

Before reinforcements arrived.

SPLASH

Ren's blood sword dissolved after he released it, falling to his knees he breathed heavily.

HUFF~ HUFF~ HUFF~

He had run out of magical energy, since the start of the battle until now two hours had already passed and although he was unconscious during one of those two hours the amount of energy he spent was great.

After waking up he had to fight despite being under the exhaustion effect of using the artifact.

He finished the fight as quickly as he could and still spent the last bit of magical energy he had left.

"They are fine?" Ren asked while she gave the girls a beautiful smile, Ren liked these girls a lot since they showed him with her gesture of not abandoning him that not all humans are despicable.

"Well, now we are better thanks to the spell" they said

"Sorry for knocking me out and thanks for taking care of me while I was" she said as he leaned in, then stood up straight and said

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Shiki Violette Asderel" yes Shiki Violet Asderel, that is her real name, ever since I came to this city I use a false name in order not to be 'discovered' by certain individuals.

After saying his name, Elena and Elizabeth's eyes popped open from Ren's back, three pairs of wings (6 Wings) black as obsidian came out, extending them forward, he took two black feathers, then his wings hid again. and this one said:

"Since you protected me take these two feathers if you are ever in danger you can destroy or burn them thinking of me and in an instant I will be summoned to your location." He said shiki as he handed each of them a pen.

"Um, thank you. My name is Elizabeth van White. It was a pleasure working with you Mr. Violette" said elizabeth as she shook hands with shiki.

"Thanks for the pens, My name is Elena C. Ellen, I hope one day we can get together without a fuss." Elena said.

After shiki and the girls introduced themselves, the latter told shiki that they would send him his payment around noon, in the end it was a payment of 500 purple coins which is a good payment for this job, shiki left followed by that but without To get the girls to notice I took the daggers and storage rings from the guys.

Being alone, Elizabeth looked at Elena as if she was expecting something and she didn't seem to take long to notice because she said: "It has a nice name, don't you think?"

"She has it, but what I wanted to know was, the information you had on it because the reaction you gave at the beginning with the one now was a jump." Elizabeth said

"That's good since the information we have about him is that he's a murderer who kills criminals, but if it were just this it wouldn't be bad, the bad comes in the way he kills them.... you all have traces of torture and there was not a trace of blood and magical energy on their bodies, they were completely dry" Elizabeth nodded in understanding now she understood why Elena's reason.

Since they were weakened and in a deplorable state, it would not be impossible for that guy to kill them with a long torture and then die in that strange way, so Elena's fright and caution was reasonable.

:::::::::::::::

Babylon Academy Student Dormitory.

After returning shiki washed in the bathroom and lay down on her bed and taking a short nap for an hour she got up again.

(POV Shiki Violette Asderel)

Opening my eyes I looked at the ceiling of my room it was a long and exhausting night, I told someone my name for the first time since I left the forest.

Since I got out I haven't had any information about those people, I just hope that my name will help me find a trace of them even though my original plan was to investigate in the normal way.

The good thing is that I still have enough time for my plans (I think...), now that I'm in the academy I can improve my strength, if I meet them obviously it won't be to give them flowers for their 'visit', I'll make sure they pay very expensive what they did.

Magical energy started pouring out of me along with killing intent, but calming down after a while I said in a low voice.

"System show me the quest and its rewards."

At his words the power panels unfolded in front of him.
