Kritos saw how the mysterious blood cage absorbs the blood of dead bodies. With each drop of blood, the thickness of the blood cage increases gradually.
Upon absorbing every single drop of blood, it shrinks and encircles Kritos from all sides. He was in the center of the 2-meter radius circular blood cage
Blood cage had already devoured Kritos broken leg. Only clothes and crushed bones are present around Kritos.
As Kritos started feeling helpless and was about to give in to his cruel fate. The blood cage stops at some distance.
"...?"
Suddenly, a huge amount of blood was spewed out from the circular cage and filled the empty space inside the circular cage.
Kritos felt dizziness and then fainted inside the circular blood cage.
…
"Master, with the Blood Devouring Healing ability of our, your friend's body will be healed completely, and furthermore, all the impurity will be removed from his body in two hours. Do you want to meet him for the last time?"
The small bat thought for a bit second and replied," Nay, it will create more doubt to him. Besides, I don't think it will be our last meeting."
"As your wish master."
"After he heals completely, we will leave from here." Shivam notified.
The old man silently nodded his head.
'It is quite strange that the master is closed with someone. In our lineage, he didn't like to talk with someone.' The old bat thought to himself.
One hour later…
A strange question emerges on the old bat's mind.
"Master, wouldn't it be better if you accept him as your first human subservient. It would increase his body constitution and the overall strength of his body. Besides, he will gain the ability of our race," The old bat eagerly asked.
Shivam glanced at him and replied," He is my friend! I can't let him a subservient of me even if it will drastically increase his powers."
Shivam had already thought about this issue, but his friend, Kritos, was someone who prefers freedom. Even in the village, he only did work that he wanted to.
When Shivan first arrived at Makarwat Village, Kritos was 6 years old. At that time, Shivam was 16 years old, but in Vampire standard he was only 6 years old.
He was taller than Kritos, so many times Kritos asked him to steal the mango with him from their neighbor's tree.
He learns many mortal things from Kritos in such a way that he forgets about his actual identity.
They were partners in crime. Sometimes, they walk across the village, just for fun.
Due to their friendship, the villagers start calling them the KS faction.
K means Kritos and S means Shivam.
…
When Kritos eventually woke up, he saw the sky had become azure and then exhaled down harshly.
Sweat continuously drenched from Kritos body.
Upon further glance, Kritos saw the sweat is of black color.
"This!"
Kritos checked this smelly black liquid substance with his hands after he closed it to his nose.
Kritos almost scared the shit out himself upon smelling it.
"That's horrible...It could kill someone."
Kritos properly examined his body, he sensed a familiar feeling in his lower half.
"My right leg! Didn't Mayank chop out it from my body? Could it be regenerated?"
Kritos thought about the event which occurs after the death of the Mayank group.
"It must be because of them. They save me!"
He hastily looked at the spot where he previously saw the two bats.
"They are not there…" Kritos muttered to himself.
Kritos wanted to show his gratitude to them for saving his life. However, even after searching for a few seconds, he could find them.
"Perhaps they leave."
It wasn't strange, they didn't wait for his arousal.
Kritos was confused about other stuff," Why did they save him?'"
Moreover, not only did they save Kritos, but also helped him to regenerate his limb.
Without his right leg, Kritos was good as a cripple.
Only a Mystic mage specialized in healing spells could regenerate broken limbs in a short time.
'If someday I have supreme power, I would repay this favor hundredfold!' Kritos swear to himself.
'In the man-eating man world, it is tough to find a kind person. Moreover, I was a stranger to them.'
However, Kritos didn't know that they were not any strangers, but one of them was his forgotten childhood friend.
Kritos stood with his nude body and walked in front of a cloth.
It was the clothes of one of the men of Mayank.
As he was picking to wear these clothes, he stopped and thought," If I wear these clothes, didn't everyone suspect that I had killed them."
It was possible!
Besides, these people are not nobodies.
If it is known that he was present there, they would suspect him. Moreover, Sam would definitely make the situation terrible for him.
Suddenly, Kritos remembers the face of Manvi's brother and recalls the threatening words of him.
"I have to become strong!"
As he was thinking about how to walk away from here without clothes, Kritos saw the system opening notifications is not present.
"So, I was faint for almost two hours," Kritos sighs.
Two hours!
Sam would have certainly made the situation terrible.
'I have to quickly approach Grandfather.'
Kritos could feel something ominous would happen if the Vishwa clan knew that their death is related to him.
As Kritos opened the System tab, several prompts appeared on the screen. Kritos ignore them and take some clothes from the Storage function.
He had stored some clothes on the storage function. In the past two months, when he cultivated inside the lake, Kritos stored some extra clothes for use.
'Before that, I have to wash my body. It smells terrible, I swear if someone smells it, they would faint in the spot,' Kritos thought.
He took a vase filled with water and poured it on his body.
After a minute, Kritos took one piece of clothing and wore it on his body.
Eventually, he was ready to walk away from here.
He activated <Shadow form>, and vanished from his spot.
After a few seconds of running, a thought emerges on Kritos mind," I wasted my time. The shadow form could have solved my cloth problem... Sigh!"
***
It didn't take him more than 20 minutes to reach the clan hall of Dwivedi Clan.
However, upon reaching there, Kritos learns that grandfather is not present in the clan.
He was in the meetings with clan heads of the other two clans at the Vishwa clan.
"Is fate playing with me?" Kritos sighed.
Now, he has only the option to tell his situation to his elder brother, Sanju, before Sam makes the situation terrible.
Kritos understands that without Mayank's approval, Sam wouldn't do anything.
'He must be waiting for his order, but he didn't know that the situation had reversed.' Kritos chuckled.
Kritos decided first to talk with his elder brother and accordingly, he will plan out the next strategy.
***
"Kritos, he is with father. They both are in the city development meeting at the Vishwa clan," Karen calmly told him.
As Karen glances at the alarming face of Kritos, he again asked," Is there any problem, Kritos."
Kritos was already stunned due to the previous answer of his uncle, 'Is fate really playing with me?'
Nonetheless, Kritos doesn't have an option, but to nod his head in his uncle's question.
He has to tell someone before the situation becomes out of control.
Seeing his serious face, Karen invited him inside.
"What happened, Kritos?... You can freely share your problem." Karen asked.
Kritos thought for a bit and replied," Uncle... Mayank and Manvi are dead!"
"What?"
A severe expression emerges on his relatively old face.
"Yes, both of them died by the hands of some strange beast."
Karen takes a deep breath and again asked," How? Could you please explain to me in detail? And are you any related to this?"
Kritos simply nodded his head, knowing uncle Katen would ask this question.
If they somehow openly died by an expert, he would be among those people who knew this news first.
But this was not the case, so he suspects something fishy happens.
In response to his question, Kritos nodded his head.
Upon seeing his response, Karen places his right hand on his forehead.
"How? Tell me the exact details, don't try to leave any single information."
Afterward, Kritos begin to explain the entire story from the start.
***
15 minutes later...
"Did you have any enmity with Sam?" Karen worriedly asked.
"No, uncle, I haven't even chatted with him since I came here. Besides, he was in his sect for approx two years." Kritos quickly replied.
Karen remained silent for a bit and then said," Kritos, his grandfather is the first elder of our Clan. His strength is only weaker than my father in our whole clan. Besides, the Vishwa clan would never believe in your words. If Sam decided to manipulate them."
After a pause, Karen asked," Kritos, he said he is organizing a celebration for your winning. Was the celebration party real or it was just part of their Scheme?"
"I seems it was real."
