Book 4: Chapter 90: Awake

Scarlet

The last push I need comes in the form of a random jump in power from the Demon Light, making me assume that the moon just hit its peak. And as soon as I finish snapping the last fracture, my eyes shoot open and I find myself staring at the ceiling for a single second before everything scatters and I find my body separating into nothing but blood. Meanwhile several dings echo in my head from notifications, but I ignore them all and immediately move out of the room by flying through the air in the form of nothing but glowing red blood.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via Ñøv€l-B!n.

I completely ignore every demon I find as I rush through the air for a while until I find a Class IV Fracture and scatter myself into droplets of blood that mix into the blood rain. Then I sneak straight into the Class IV Fracture and onto Earth, not even stopping to question how Im able to pass through without the help of a demon now.

After I pass through the Fracture, I pause for a moment to take in my surroundings, finding myself to be in a random city on Earth. So I quickly kill all of the demons surrounding me in an instant before rushing off through the air as fast as I can towards the frontlines. And as I fly through the air, I finally take a moment to look at my notifications and other System Messages since I dont have anything else to do while flying.

Although I cut out some of the not important messages because they just flood my mind with unimportant things. Like leveling common rarity skills and a massive flood of kills.

{Five hundred Skill Points are awarded for surviving breaking past System Restraints and forcefully learning the Blood Manipulation and Blood Transformation achievement-locked skills. Do not do this again. This is your only warning. The price of the achievement-locked skills was taken directly from the System, leaving it unnecessary for you to spend Skill Points on them.}

{System Restraints have been reapplied to the User.}

{Three hundred Skill Points are awarded for surviving in a fight against a Class V while at Class IV.}

{Two hundred Skill Points are awarded for surviving a major wound to your reality.}

{One hundred and fifty Skill Points are awarded for slaughtering over one hundred thousand creatures in a single battle.}

{One Skill Point is awarded for killing a demon.} x2500 (Capped)

{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 851. Five Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

{Congrats, you have leveled up to level 986. Five Free Points have been awarded to you and your stats have been updated.}

[Skill Blood of Ruin has leveled up to level 21.]

That is a lot of System Messages. And those two new skills sound really good just by the name alone. Although Im pretty sure theyre what Ive been using to fly through the air in the form of blood.

Which makes me wonder how Im thinking right now without a physical brain, but I guess Ill just leave that explanation to its magic and leave it at that.

I continue letting the notifications flow, only half reading most of them since theyre mostly just notifications telling me about requirements being met and requirements that still need to be met to get Mythic and Title-Bearing Mythic skills. But since they arent directly useful for me, I ignore them for now, leaving them on the backburner to check out after this is over as I fly through the air past the ocean.

Considering the massive amount of Skill Points that I have right now, I go ahead and spend all of it before arriving, raising Gradual Corruption Nullification to level thirty using 520 SP, raising Blood Plague to level thirty with 705 SP, Crimson Overdrive to level thirty with another 520 SP, and Bloody Thorns and Blood Thirst to level thirty with another 1410 SP. All totaling to 3155 SP, leaving me with 495 SP remaining.

Im rather surprised by how many demons in that army were high enough level to actually give me SP, since generally only demons at a certain level below me give me SP. I also didnt realize there was a cap for the amount of SP you can get in a single battle.

Never killed that many higher-leveled demons in one fight before after all.

After thinking for a moment I decide to bring both Blood Shadow and Blood Retribution to level 20, spending another 360 SP in the process.

Which leaves me with 135 SP remaining. And after another glance at the notifications, specifically one of them, I decide to leave it be and not use the rest right now. Because upgrading a skill will reset it back to level 1, and even a skill of that rarity at level one would be worse than the current skill at the maxed level. And I need the skill for this.

I continue flying across the ocean until I arrive at the mainland of the Eastern continent, feeling exhausted for some reason despite not having a body right now. Probably due to holding this transformation for so long.

So after making it back to the mainland, I gather all of the blood making up my form and merge it back together, soon reforming my body as it was before. Albeit with a lot more power after I distribute my free points from all those level-ups.

Then, after quickly checking my armor and fortunately finding it on my body as it should be, I transform into my quadrupedal beast form and begin charging off through the land while enhancing my hearing to the max, completely uncaring of the very minimal amount of pain I feel from it after dealing with reality damaging pain.

It doesnt take me long to find Satan with my hearing that can now span half an entire continent in range, but what I hear along with it surprises me.

Isaacs fighting him? Thats unexpected.

I immediately begin rushing in that direction, breaking the sound barrier in my charge.

As I run though, I cant help but wonder about something. Something thats been bothering me for a while now.

Where the heck is Tar?
