'Darn it! I have to use my energy seed now.' Blade grunted, his body glowing; dark red light.

Vroooom!

"Remember. Use your energy seed, only when your life is in line." Blade remembered the word of Abigor.

Whoooosh!

A very strong wind began surging around Blade's body.

"Gah!" The spirit retreated back because of the force.

Ba-dum!

Ba-dum!

'Kgh!' Blade grunted, his heart beating rapidly. His eyes widened.

'This..?' Blade thought, getting up. He checked his body out. His minor injuries and brushes were recovering.

Ba-dum!

'Ugh!'

"Ahhh! How dare.. How dare you!" Spirit screamed, charging forward. She swept her dagger, trying to tear Blade into pieces.

But..

Vrooom!

"Haaa..!" Blade's roared. His energy seed, mutating his entire body temporarily.

He swept his sword against the spirit's dagger. Fending it off…

Clang!

'I.. It hurts, I have to quickly finish this.' Blade thought. As, even though he felt his power increasing. His weak body couldn't keep up with this growing power, so he can feel his senses and consciousness slowly fading away.

Swooosh!

Blade dashed, aiming at Viscount Dio. He raised his sword, pointing its tip toward Viscount's heart.

Whoooosh!

"My baby!" The spirit shouted. She used her Immense Speed to immediately appear in front of Viscount.

Clang!

She blocked Blade's attack with her dagger.

Cling!

Blade pushed back her daggers.

Ba-dum!

"Haaa!" Blade roared. He felt his heart racing much faster.

"You dare, try harming my baby!" The Spirit shouted. Slashing her dagger toward Blade.

Cling!

Clang!

He also used his sword to fight against her attacks. When, a smirk appeared in Blade's face.

Quickly, releasing the hilt of his sword. He tackled the spirit. Directly, passing through her body.

He appeared right in front of Viscount Dio. Who was behind the Spirit, weeping slowly.

Swish!

Taking out a dagger from his sleeve.

Slash!

Splurt!

Balde slitted the neck of Viscount. Blood gushing out.

Rumble!

"Noooo!" Spirit screamed. Her body releasing an enormous pressure. The entire mansion shook violently.

…

"Hah… Hah…" Alden sucked air. He had his left arm chopped off, blood leaking from there. His skin had turned pale.

Thud!

He fell to the ground, his butt falling first. He looked toward the decapitated Commander.

'Hah.. I didn't think so. A peak 4th stage swordmaster could be in a Viscount land.' He thought, looking toward the mansion.

'That new punk, Blade must have been dead by now. He is only a 1st stage Swordsmaster. How could he deal with a 1st stage spirit master.' Alden thought, observing the mansion.

He was really displeased. When he heard some random newbie will be taking the lead role in this mission. He didn't understand why the higher ups took an interest in this new guy. To the point, send him on a mission with a 4th stage sword master like him, just to promote him to an Inner Devotee.

'Now, that he is dead. I can take all the achievements of this mission. Then, I can be promoted to a Core Devotee. Hehehe.' Alden snickered.

When, a huge pressure descended the entire mansion.

Rumble!

"Noooo!" A loud roar echoed in the air.

'Wh.. What?!' Alden exclaimed. His tired body, pressing down to the ground.

Whoooosh!

Step!

Step!

"What is happening here!"

…

"Ha.. Wha? What was that?" Blade exclaimed. The Spirit in front of him slowly fading away.

"Ka.. Blade. Congratulations for completing your mission." When a crow arrived inside the mansion, fluttering its black wings.

"Wha..?" Blade nearly exclaimed.

When, his consciousness passed out. His body falling down, he lifelessly fell to the ground.

"Using energy seed has taken a great amount of toll on his body. It is a miracle he even survived after using it." Crow exclaimed.

…

…

Three days later…

In the Capital City of Tepes, Royal Castle Tepes.

In the conference room.

"My King, We have received an emergency report from Whiterun City!" an official shouted. He was a middle-aged man wearing; red gown, golden fox embroidered near the left side of the gown.

"What is it, Marquis Fox?" A majestic figure asked. He was the Royal King of Tepes Kingdom of the south.

He was King Clemendar Von Tepes.

"My King. Our Whiterun City was under attack, around two days ago!" Marquis Fox exclaimed. All fifteen officials presented in the conference room turning toward him.

"And… It seems their target was Viscount Dio."

"What! Viscount Dio." King Celemdar screamed in shock.

Viscount Dio was selected by the Church to be a Priest. King Clemendar was surprised, someone had the guts to challenge the authority of the Church by attacking their chosen Priest.

"Yes… My King. And.. And, They were successful with their attempt. Viscount Dio is now dead." Marquis Fox said. A huge tension descending in the conference room.

…

…

Blood Cult…

Raven Mansion. It was a dark environment like always, the entire sky dark.

Currently, In Blade's room. He was laying in his bed.

He had been unconscious for three days.

"Ummh~" Blade lightly grunted. The sleeping prince that finally woke up.

Slowly, fluttering his eyes brows. He opened his eyes.

He gazed at the familiar ceiling.

Jolt!

'I am in my room?' He questioned, jolting up from his bed. He looked around, he indeed was in his room.

"Ugh?!" holding his head. He still felt a slight headache. When he remembered a talking crow coming to him. Afterwards, he killed that Viscount.

Knock!

Knock!

"Oh~ You, awake now?" turning forward. Blade stared at the familiar figure of Clay.

"Hahaha. What ya staring at? I heard it, brat. You defeated a 1st stage spirit master." Clay laughed. When, another figure walked out.

"Hohoho. I am proud of you, Little Blade. I knew you could rock this mission!" The figure said. Who was none other than Dabira.

"Squad Captain..?" Blade muttered, staring at those two.

"What's with that dull face? You should be happy, right now. Lord Abigor has ordered us to immediately bring you to Cult Hall, when you wake up." Dabira exclaimed. Both her and Blade knew the meaning of this.

"Captain, I think we should let him rest more." when Clay said. Dabira glaring at him..

"What are you saying, Clay! We are the strongest squad of Blood Cunt. How could we be tried out by such a measly mission? Little Blade, do you need any more rest?" Dabira asked, puffing her chest. She wanted Blade to become an Inner Devotee as quickly as possible.

"Yeah, Captain. I'm alright. Let's head toward the Hall." Blade said. He also didn't like his current state. He didn't want to be this weak.

…

Cult Hall Room…

The very centre of the Cult. It was the most sacred room, that had the sacred altar of 14 Demon Gods in it.

The altar was a magnificent statue with fourteen heads. That represented the fourteen Demon Gods of Demon Realm.

"Elder Lily. They are coming." Abigor reported. While, Elder Lily nodded hearing him.

"Good." She said, getting up from her kneeling posture. She bowed her head toward the altar.

Some minutes later…

"Lord Abigor and Elder Lily. We are here." Dabira announced, walking inside the Hall room.

Both, herself and Clay kneeled infront of Elder Lily.

"Umm, Dabira. You seem to have matured alot then before…" Elder Lily said, smiling.

"Yes, I have Elder Lily." Dabira simply said. Clay one step behind her, clenching his fist.

Elder Lily looked at Clay, before turning her attention toward Blade.

"Little Blade. I must say, since you have become a part of our Cult. You have been giving me a lot of surprises." She said. Abigor behind her, silently observing the scene.

"You overpraise me." Blade replied.

"No no no. This isn't a overpraise. You killed a 1st stage spirit master, that are usually comparable with 4th stage swordmaster. You have already created a miracle here." Elder Lily exclaimed.

"Then, It is as you say. Then, may I know. The reason, you summon me?" Blade then spoke. He didn't wanted to play word game with a old granny right now.

"Reason? Well, Since you have given me so much surprises. And, even killed a future threat to our Cult. I wanted to promote you to Inner Devotee." Elder Lily announced. She had a friendly smile in her face. Though, Blade could say it was a smile of a fox.

'I have seen too much of that smile. In my previous life.'

"So, Outer Devotee Blade. The insignia bearer of Great Demon God of Annihilation. I, one of eight Elders of Divine Blood Cult. The Elder under Grand Elder of Wrath. I hereby, officially promote you from Outer to Inner Devotee of our Divine Blood Cult. May the Blood be with you!" Elder Lily exclaimed. A mark appearing in Blade's right hand.

It was a circular mark, with one star drawn in it. Which, soon turned into two.
