Reincarnated

Chapter 48: Ball of Blood

In the dark forest of the Great Lands which became even darker because the eclipse had covered any light from the only source light. The moon had completely disappeared in a matter of few seconds.

Cain who was injured was still inside the black orb could not feel the same pace of time as it was inside the black orb.

Inside the unknown black orb, time flows different. It flowss much slower than the world outside. It may have only been a few days since the subjugation had ended, but for Cain who was stuck inside it for the whole time had experience 5 times slower. If five days have passed then approximately 5 years have passed inside the black orb.

Cain was injured in the real world. However, his consciousness could not feel the pain of his own body. It was because inside his consciousness which had been taken over by the unknown power inside the black orb was fighting wave after wave of demonic creatures.

Inside his consiousness, Cain had been fighting with thousands of demonic creatures for five years. It was the most agonizing situation he had ever been put into even if you consider his past life experiences.

'I can't see it.'

Cain can't see the end in sight as he punched a hole in the head of a demonic creature who was attacking him with blind hostility.

Thewave of demonic creatures that are attacking him in every directionn only multiplied as he killed them . Although the choice of not killing them was never an option for him because there were originally hundreds of them aiming only for his neck.

Blood dripped from Cain's hands. He already had no idea if it was the demonic creatures' blood or if it was his own with his knuckes cut opened for punching a hole out of thousands of heads that are harder than an ordinary knight arnor.

"Where the heck even this place is?!"

Frustrated from his current situation, he houted on top of his lungs. His lungs had been faling and rising more rapidly and strongly for the past thirty minutes. Although he did have a little bit rest from time to time when the demonic creatures seemed to have been ordered by whoever was giving them orders to seize the attacks and let him have a little rest. It was like they weretoying with him.

"Are you curious?"

He heard a ringing sound in his head before the voice resonated into his mind.

"No. Not really. It's obvious that it is somewhere in the Demon World."

Cain nonchalantly answered and made the voice go silent for a few seconds.

"You really are an interesting child. His second son was interesting, but you are far more entertaining. Hmm, how curious."

Cain's eyes brow furrowed as he watched the waves of demonic creatures retreat after seeing him talk by himself.

'There is no way they got scared because I'm talking to myself.'

Cain thought and wanted to laugh at his own statement, but he could not as the voice resonated with his mind again.

"Amusing."

"What is?"

Cain let himself plop down on the ground. It did not matter if it was pooled with monster blood because he could not be bothered to look for any space where there were no blood on the ground.

"You have a blood of a demon and a blood of a human. You are one of those rare cases, I see."

The voice sounded excited and amused about Cain's identity. He did not really care even if the voice knew about his situation. No, it was more like he was too tired to givea damn about it.

"I shall pick you as the next monarch to leave the army. But that will come in the future. For now, you must receive the reward for passing my test. And, of course, I will give you reward for entertaining me. You deserve that much."

Cain looked up at the dark red sky and thought:

'But I don't want it?'

Whatever the voice was going to give him would be nothing but trouble. It would be too troublesome and a burden for him if he had another useless thing in his plate.

'I'm already full with such nonsense and trouble. Please, don't make it double.'

Cain sighed and dropped his head on his knees.

"You will absord every single demonic power of the demonic creatures you killed. That is your reward for the test. And I shall give you my blood to further the succession ritual."

Cain flinched upon hearing what th voice said.

"I knew it would be something useless! I don't want it! Don't give it to me!!"

Cain punched the air, but he could only throw a tantrum before everything started.

A black smoke emitting such dark and demonic mana was rising from the mountains of demonic creatures' corpses before a massive wave of it attacked him.

Cain thought that he would be engulfed by it, however, to his surprise rather than being engulfed , his body was absorbing it. The massive wave of strong demonic mana was being suctioned into his body as if it was the most natural thing.

After a few minutes, the demonic mana was gone and all that was left was skeletons of the thousands of the demonic creatures and the blood covering the blood.

A few seconds later, the ground started to quake.

"Now what?!"

Cain tried to balance himself.

Small drop of bloods from the pool it made from the ground floated and became a small ball of demonic blood.

"That blood is the most purest demonic blood in the whole Demon World. That ball of blood ismy blood. Now take it and grow stronger so you can succeed my place in this wretched place. I hope you'll be the one to change it."

The small ball of blood rushed towards Cain and before he knew it his mouth had opened in it own and the blood had gone inside his mouth and mixed with the blood in his body.

A minute later, Cain's muscles wriggled and his bones all dislocated. An excrutiating pain had attacked him.
