The Primal Blood Demonic Dragon

On one hand he controlled essence redirecting into ring from outside, on another with just a thought of him crater filled up, becoming a lake.

He have created it big enough to accommodate all the essence on his sight, available in underground cave.

Slowly edge of the pond shrank becoming smaller while depth also decreased showing the rocky ground beneath on further corners.

Before pond becoming completely drained, a small hole appeared on rocky floor in middle of furthest corner of the pond from him and center of the pond.

"Found it." He grinned finally discovering the entrance to the underground essence tunnel but didn’t stop emptying the pond.

Crater in internal world of bracelet have turned into lake with depth upto only half filled.

Finally only dried pond left with only essence remaining on the underground channel.

"Phew! That should do it."

Until now from last conversation with Musa, only few minutes have passed since him discovering about truth of bracelet and draining the pond.

Looking at the hole on floor he fell into deep thought about what to do.

"Nah! let’s leave it as it is."

It only took moment for him to decide and take his leave through the tunnel going upward.

"So you still have no idea how your bloodline actually worked." Mira still have her palms placed on Lucy’s back, while she is still without any cloths for months.

"Achoo!"

Lucy had to rub her nose before replying.

"No, like how it was always. Nowhere was any mention about this devouring bloodline until now."

"Whatever it is, amazing though. Without any flow of any energy through your channels to support it, just blood existing through your veins is enough to suppress my energy passing through your meridians."

"No point in marveling over it. Knowing nothing how to make use of it makes this pretty useless."

...

While they conversed about Lucy’s bloodline, red head seating at front moved her head toward right.

A figure sprinted fast toward them, feature isn’t clearly visible on eyesight due to extraordinary speed. But she immediately knew who it is.

Not even a moment passed as he appeared in front all three.

"Ladies, i will be going out for a bit. Maybe for few hours or day."

Not even staying for an instant, he soon left through the opening in front of them before they could respond.

"Stay safe." Only Mira could utter them after processing what happened, during he had already reached outskirts of the cave at wilderness and had sprinted toward west.

"What was that?" Lucy still didn’t understand event took place right now. Everything happened too fast for her to perceive.

"He just left... pretty fast."

"Is it dire?"

Mira shook her head "No, he looked very normal."

"Oh, then it’s alright. He will be back after finishing his business."

"It seems he had gotten much faster." Mira recalled as he sprinted out through the clearing.

"Did you check his rank."

"No, didn’t have that much time." Mira shook her head but then looked at the red head.

"Can you detect his rank."

She nodded and paused next moment.

They didn’t wait long as she came back next instant.

"It should... be Basic Tier 1 Fifth stage."

Lucy and Mira both looked at her intently.

"Are you sure?"

Red head nodded.

"His rank didn’t increase by much. He may have used that ability to increase overall power just like before."

"During your battle under the ocean?"

"Mm hm." She nodded confirming.

"Then he must have gone for hunt with Musa. Since he is outside, sent by Gin and he might have reported something to him. So Gin went fully prepared."

"Possible." Mira agreed and looked at red head again.

"Can you keep track of him and inform us if he gets into any trouble."

"Ok." Red head agreed without any extra word.

Back at the nest of soul creatures.

Musa covered in violet lightning flew with everything he had in his utmost speed.

Suddenly sensing something he dashed at side as lightning particles spread apart with him as center.

A grey beam passed through his previous spot.

He didn’t turned his head but knew a soul creature is just behind him through spiritual sight and preparing for another shot.

"Damn this thing is really persistent. It has been slowing down the route by too much."

He knew he can’t beat that thing by himself with only initial super rank. He didn’t waste his energy on counter attacking and only focused on running away from this creature.

Despite leaving the range of nest he still haven’t reached the the point until where the creature will stop its chase.

Sensing another one incoming he dashed upward while grey beam passed through his violet afterimage.

Still he only focused on flying forward without turning back.

’Still alive?’ Still in air he suddenly received Gin’s voice transmission.

But he only focused on dodging toward right as another attack passed through the only left lightning particles.

’Yes, but this creature is too persistent.’

’Can you reach the safety safely?’

’No problem at that, this creature is far slower proportionally than other cultivators of its rank.’

’Then do something for me. After it stops chasing after you, harass it and stop it from leaving back to that nest. Just make it engaged with you for some time.’

’Understood, master.’ From his words Musa knew he is coming personally to hunt this creature.

.......

After few more distance of flying Musa crossed a distance, at which the creature stopped chasing after him and paused mid-air.

Musa looked back after also making break on his flight.

Screech. Screech.

That creature’s tentacles wriggled while threatening screeching noises came from it through sound wave. But it didn’t move another inch forward.

"You don’t understand me, do you."

Screech! Screech!

He only got another threatening response.

"Yeah, you don’t have enough intelligence to understand me."

Time passed as creature screamed few more times without taking other action toward him and turned around to leave without doing anything else.

But Musa was preparing for this moment.

He made his own spiritual energy materialise in front him with infused violet particles mixed within and threw it the creature.

Which perfectly landed on it since it didn’t dodge or shouldn’t have enough agility to evade something more faster than it.

Screeeech!!..

A howling scream came from it even though the attack didn’t do any noticeable harm to it.

"Kekeke, feel what i felt being chased by you."

Kekeke..
