Bloody Euphoria

A skill activated by the amount of blood in the vicinity. The more blood the user can smell, taste, or see, the more the users Health recovery will increase. Dealing damage and causing blood to flow will heal the user by 1% of their Vitality

Strong, but not as strong as the ogre.

Shraaaaaaek! The gnoll roared out before picking up a wagon and throwing it at us, all while the previously demotivated grimgarians regained their confidence upon hearing the gnolls warcry.

With vigorous Niakash Baalak and Gliedda yuf vernohn blieck, Marsven or whatever my parallel minds tried to understand from their gibberish they raised their weapons and reformed their formations. The troll shamans pounded their staves on the ground before pointing them at us, invoking two black magic circles.

I got this! Sanctuary! A barrier of iridescent light manifested around us as the wagon and four concentrated balls of dark mana crashed against it, exploding in the process as they left cracks where they hit.

Higher Intelligence, better spells. Good.

We cant stay defensive! One B rank gnoll, two C rank troll shamans, a platoon full of orc knights, a C rank hobgoblin mage, kobold tamers, and too many goblin and kobold fodder! Renee quickly summarized her report after appraising everything with her appraisal ring. Miss Tasianna, we need range support. That blue rat is priority number one! Its speaking something in its Goddess-less language.

Renee was right. That blue hobgoblin carrying Renees medallion was shouting something as she was buffering herself with spells. Either she was the commander of this group, or she was the tactician. Either way, she had to go down, but that was easier said than done with the giant B rank bodyguard in our way.

Shraaaaaaaaaahk! The gnoll roared again, spinning his flail above his head.

C-Chiksu yuf shariyk! The hobgoblin mage stumbled on her words, a speech impediment most goblins had which usually disappeared once they evolve into a hobgoblin. At least, thats what I heard from some adventurers.

Rajah, keep your eyes on the archers and mages. Fargryneill, Priestess Hestia, youll be our vanguard! Renee kept ordering us around, but everything she said was quick and to the point with zero hesitation. Ill be the mid-guard, keeping the orcs and other things away from your fight! Aim for the gnoll and troll shamans, priority two and three, respectively. Everybody, create an opportunity for Miss Tasianna to take priority targets down! Understood?

Fight the big one, got it! I nodded while Rajah slipped back into my shadow to await his moment to strike.

I can freeze the rear, leave them to me. Ill shoot when needed, Tasianna turned her attention and cast [Fairy of Winter] for her ice wings and an aura of cold. Her large [Winters Golem] was also ready, towering over orcs in an intimidating fashion.

Time to level up, ladies! Neill said in the most bloodthirsty fashion possible, even licking her lips as her slit eyes locked onto the gnoll. I knew that expression very well the look of a hunter who found her prey.

It also helped that she made that face when we went to the dungeon yesterday. Her draconic instinct had taken over. She was hungry for experience.

Were in a cave! Dont go wild, Fargryneill! Renee warned Sis, but I had an idea for that part.

I slumped onto the ground and laid my hand on it, invoking a brown magic circle to cast [Terra Wall] to solidify the ground and the walls of this tunnel. I would always appreciate my wind and earth spells for being extremely useful for supportive and utility reasons. Still, even if the place wouldnt break down from an explosion, I probably shouldnt use my fire attacks too much to drain all our oxygen.

Wonderful! Your sister is once again a true gem, Fargryneill! You should have introduced me to her sooner! Renee complimented me after my explanation before waving her flag around and planting it right into the ground. Everybody, charge!

[Flag of Valiant Hearts] inflicted on [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]

Flag of Valiant Hearts

A wind blessing invoked by [Gem of Valiant Winds]. Increases Agility by 5% of the base stat

She can buff, too? Small Agility boost, but at least its something.

Hey, heads up, Hestia! Neill kicked the ground, sending dragon paths towards the grimgarians standing before the barrier, before they ruptured forth as blue streams of lightning. You mind supporting? Like during your match?

Neill was probably pointing out my stunt in the battle royale, where I acted as the distraction and support for the main breaching crew for that castle. Well, even if Sis saw me more as a support than a frontliner, I couldnt disagree. My support through my music and white flames was one of my best traits as an adventurer.

Sure, break something like you did during your match. Ill keep this place intact! I replied as I blasted a few hobgoblin spearmen with [Sacred Smite] before playing my music again.

Kriehiehie! Without a second to waste, dragon paths flowed from the ground and, somehow, into the air. Neill took them, sliding along them as if she was skating. And without hesitation, kicked the gnoll as he was flying into the ceiling!

She then snapped her fingers, creating dragon paths that moved right where the gnoll was lodged into, causing a massive explosion which sent him and the hobgoblin, who seemed to have had an [Auracoil] around her, down.

Taste pure mana from a kirin, dog. A mana ball from in between Neills hands, charging it up as it grew and grew in size. Pulse Arcana: Maxima!

And like the roar of a dragon, Neill unleashed the blast of pure, untainted mana forth. The blast beam caught the gnoll entirely, not even letting him scream or shout as he was completely swallowed up by the attack. With extreme prejudice, anything the beam touched was destroyed as it flew through the tunnel, dissipating into mana after a couple more seconds.

Experience has reached multiple breaking points. [Young Sunfang Dragon, Hestia Atsuko Kargryxmor]s Main Job [Virulent Corrosion] has risen from [Level 27] to [Level 30]

Attributes have increased due to level up

Max level of Job [Virulent Corrosion] has been reached

Mutation requirements acquired. [Level 30] of Job [Virulent Corrosion] was achieved. Mutation skills unlocked for acquisition. [Virulent Corrosion] have been added to the SP shop

There was nothing left of the gnoll. The wagons and everything else on the ground narrowly dodged getting hit by Neills attack, but looking at the clean erasure of the ceiling, now perfectly round, I couldnt help but gulp. In the span of less than a minute, Neill erased any trace of that B rank.

Sure, it might have been weaker than the high ogre I faced, but that still didnt account how freaking tough and probably experienced he was with his weapon. Outside, I could probably dive into the ground or blow him up, but inside a cave, I had to be careful. In the end, even without anybodys help, I could have 100% dealt with the gnoll with the help of my flames [Dread Burn] nullifying all sorta healing.

However, not only did Neil beat this guy by herself, but she didnt even do anything to counter it like my flames special property. She just went in and started blasting him. She overwhelmed him not with any tricks or cunning, or strategy, really. She destroyed everything in her way with unstoppable power in less than a minute, probably.

Kramps voice echoed in my head as a System message. I remembered when I released that mountain high fire blast when I entered [Battle Frenzy (Major)] to fight that demonkin. Neills attack might not have been the largest thing Id seen [Omnictus] or [Symphonie des Feuergottes] were larger and probably more destructive but it honestly didnt seem like she was giving it her all.

Phew! Neill flicked the hair strands blocking her eyes. She then shook her head before pulling her lion mane-like hair along her back. She then landed on the ground and walked over to me with a serious expression on her face. This is moderate. There are two stages above it. There is also a skill designed for the power-up called [Battle Frenzy] once you break through all seven sins.

I stayed silent. Her display of power left an impression on me, just like Larents mana blade.

Pure mana can do this much, huh? Mhmm.

It will be hard, but dont rely on this power-up, alright? I nodded to Neills lecture. You need to make that raging power in your blood yours. Rear it in. However, dont forget, [Battle Frenzy] alone didnt make Kramps the Black Tyrant of the Skies. Never rely on it, you hear? Dont end up like some of our brothers.

Brothers? I tilted my head. This was the first time anybody really mentioned my half-brothers, specifically.

Mhmm. Neill nodded. Kahalameet and Nongramus. Our eldest and youngest half-brothers, respectively. Nice bros, really, but our biggest brother is doing anything he can to make sure our eldest sister, Wendriosa, doesnt even get a chance to be the heir if father were to, miraculously, die. Nongramus, on the other hand, has an empress-mother who glorified Krampss achievements, to the point he wants to become the next Black Tyrant of the Skies.

Uhm, but what exactly does that have with not overusing [Battle Frenzy]? I was still confused.

Come on, its easy to see. Neill looked annoyed as appearance started to return to normal, a sign she was disabling [Battle Frenzy]. She really was fully in control of it. You dont know how much I held back right there just to not cause the whole tunnel to break down.

Yup, guessed that correctly. If she wasnt, that fight with the gnoll would have lasted longer. She stomped on him as if he was an ant before her.

You rely too much on this damn power and it can consume your judgement and self-growth. You will want to use it whenever, instead of trying to further develop your body through evolutions and skills. Those two are the strongest [Battle Frenzy] users amongst us siblings, but that is about it. Neill let out a deep sigh. Also, just take it as a tip. Itll get pretty awkward when you start hitting brick walls in the process

Like how youre stuck at the envy sin?

Dont be so cheeky, you little brat. Neill turned around and let out a deep sigh.

Oops that was the wrong thing to say.

U-Uhm, Neill, sorry! I tried to apologize but Sis only shook her hand in my face.

Forget it. My problem, so dont butt into it, okay? Also, dont listen to that flattie, Renee, about my psychological state. Fire dragon accusing a magna dragon for burning a tree. She got her own issues with how she fakes that damn voice of hers, just to appear as a man inside that tin can.

Wait, Renees deep voice isnt authentic? Wait, why does that surprise me when shes a Yeosian?

Neill looked irritated. She wasnt happy with what I said, even if I didnt mean it as an insult. On our way back, were training. Everyday after the matches, we train. As your big sis, I have a responsibility to help you with your [Battle Frenzy], so tail up, you hear?

Yes, maam, yes! I raised my tail up in a salute as if it was instinct, causing Neill to cringe. Did I do something wrong, again?

Gahak! HELP!

But before I could question her about it, we suddenly heard a mans voice coming deeper into the tunnel. Did the grimgarians capture somebody?

I rushed over to the voice, prompting a reluctant Neill to follow behind me. In one of the wagons, a barrel was shaking violently, clearly repeating HELP! all the time. When I broke up the lock holding the lid close, a man suddenly sprang out from it.

Bwuuuah! Hahaaahaaa! Arck! Ash!- BLARGH! He suddenly spat on the floor, causing my sister and I to jump down from the wagon. Guhaka! Guhak! T-Thank you! Ahahak! Dust! Wa-Ahak! Water?

The man was coughing like mad, probably caused by all the dust residue falling from the ceiling. He probably breathed a load of it in through the small breathing hole on top of the lid. He was asking for water, but I couldnt find any around. I also didnt want to show him my [Storage Magic] so I had to shake my head.

Goddess Wings! Gahak! Blegh! So, instead, he forced himself to speak through all the dust on his tongue. Blaine. Adven- blark-turer. Thank you for saving me. Bahaak!

Bio: Hey there, AbyssRaven here. I'm just an avid Light Novel and Fantasy story reader who randomly thought of a story and began writing about it.

I eventually found out that I've been spending a bit too much time with building, planning, and researching for the story, that I've decided to just share it with others.

Writing is mostly a hobby for me, but I would still love any kind of criticism to improve on it.

I'm also german, so please excuse anything that sounds a bit weird...I wouldn't mind you pointing it out though.
