Chapter 5 - Bloody Massacre 2

8–10 minutes

[You learned the [Miasma Barrier] Spell]

Chaos was suddenly taken aback from the battle as a sudden dinging sound resonated through his mind, and alongside that, a mechanic voice alerted him that he had learned a spell… Miasma Barrier, the thing he just used.

"So it works like this?" he wondered, as he began to shape the Miasma he was born with on his previous life, which seemed to have been carried to his second life, the barrier suddenly transformed into a mass of ethereal darkness that twisted around chaotically, as he glared at the approaching army of Orcs.

"Let's see… How about a spear?" he wondered, as the miasma obediently shaped to whatever he desired as if he were a master of magic, transforming into a spear-shaped mass of darkness, with a pointy tip!

[You learned the [Chaotic Spear] Spell]

A second after, Chaos launched the spear of chaos towards the army of Orcs, as it quickly reached the middle of the army, clashing against a dozen of them and exploding!

The explosion of chaos and miasma spread all around, taking the lives of many Orcs all at the same time, their bodies splattered into pieces like a bloody mess, as Chaos suddenly and instinctively unleashed another Skill he possessed.

As if the blood itself was part of his own body, all the blood splattered around the army of terrified Orcs began to flow into the air, like rivers of thick crimson-red liquid, they all flew towards Chaos.

Chaos opened his jaws as a stream of delicious blood mixed with the corpses of the Orcs entered his mouth and down his throat, the blood was like delicious nectar of life.

The moment he drank such a large quantity of blood, something within him flashed even more intensively, as his Blood Core suddenly changed!

[Your [Blood Core Rank: [Level IV: Draconic Vampire (Initial Stage)] has advanced into [Blood Core Rank: [Level IV: Draconic Vampire (Middle Stage)]!]

[All your stats have increased]

"Hm? Oh… so that's how it is," thought Chaos, as he understood that the more blood he drank, the stronger the Blood Core he possessed would grow, which in result would give him more power in the form of stats.

"I wonder how my Dragon Heart Rank can increase …"

Chaos wondered something as he casually expanded the Miasma around him and launched three more Chaotic Spears without even putting much thought into it, the little Orcs trying to damage his claws were easily demolished into pieces, as the bloody mess was enjoyed thoroughly by Chaos.

"Bloodwork seems pretty handy… Let's see… can I use their blod too?" wondered Chaos, as he played around with the stupid Orcs whose army had already gone by 50%!

He suddenly began to control the blood inside the Orcs with his very mind by using the Bloodwork Skill, the natural power of a Pure-blooded Vampire, the power to control blood from their enemies!

The only requirement was that these enemies needed to be weaker than the user, of course… but this was easy, as these Orcs were mere ants for him to experiment with!

Chaos drank the Orc pulp left around his body as he controlled the blood of the nearby Orcs, suddenly making them explode!

Chaos had casually thought about converting their blood into needles and then moving them outside of their bodies, and… just as he desired, it happened!

All the Orcs around him began to explode as if they were living bombs, one by one their blood converted into needles and rushed outside of their very bodies, splattering them into mushy piles of fleshy pulp, which Chaos happily devoured as he nourished his powers.

Suddenly, another change happened within his chest, as his heart began to shine brightly!

[Your [Dragon Heart Rank: [Level IV: Adult Blood Dragon (Initial Stage)] has advanced into [Dragon Heart Rank: [Level IV: Adult Blood Dragon (Middle Stage)]!]

[All your stats have increased]

It seemed that in this world, there was no such thing as EXP, but Chaos was able to grow stronger even by killing mere flies through the power of the Vampires and Dragons he inherited.

This seemed quite similar to a concept known as cultivation, although Chaos had no idea what that was… for now.

"It might seem like Dragon Heart Ranks increases by also drinking blood… Or is it something else? Flesh? Maybe the magic contained within the flesh or… the vitality? I will ask Belphegor after this is done," thought Chaos, as he continued his bloody rampage.

Many of the Orcs were fighting desperately even after seeing their comrades die horribly, and Chaos was not letting any of them slip off his grasp to rush into the castle. Albeit he had not noticed that a few cowards escaped, as he was indulging himself into the slaughter while drinking delicious blood and eating flesh. For the first meal in this second life, it was not bad at all!

The Orcs cried in agony and despair as the figure of the monstrous Vampiric Dragon in front of them rushed through their army, using his sharp claws to slice them into pieces in an instant, using his Miasma to generate Spears and explosions all around him, while also controlling the blood of the lucky ones that survived all of that somehow, by making their blood come out of their bodies, exploding in the most painful way possible.

Such deadly bloodshed was enhancing Chaos's power little by little, even if he was born strong, his mind was decided to grow even stronger, he was not going to set with what he already had. He wanted to live a life of fulfillment, but if the world was going to see him as an enemy, then he would become the enemy of the world and break through the odds to finally find a place where he will be able to live to his fullest!

As the Orcs began to lower in numbers, Chaos decided to shape the blood they left, converting it into blood blades and crystalizing them with his mere will and his overflowing quantities of mana, slashing through the last Orcs ruthlessly!

The blood blades moved rather clumsily as Chaos still needed to practice Bloodwork a bit more, but it seemed that he was doing a great job for his first day after being "born".

"This is… hopeless… Demon…! A Demon God has been born in this world!" cried one of the Orcs that managed to escape, as he saw all of his companions die horribly.

But… would Chaos really let it escape?

Chaos quickly noticed a few ants running away, as he pointed his Blood Blades against them and controlled them in midair, firing them like missiles towards them!

One of the blades reached one of the Orcs running away, piercing his head all the way down to his crotch, slicing him in half!

The two halves of the body of the Orc fell over the ground motionless, as Chaos nodded in affirmation, seeing all the other Orcs that ran away being sliced into pieces. He walked towards them and used Bloodwork once more, controlling their bloody pulp and eating it all.

After around 10 minutes of cleaning the battlefield, Chaos finally felt like he was stuffed…

And the Orcs… well, they were completely exterminated.

Belphegor glanced with fascination at Chaos.

"Ah! Truly, how wonderful!"
