Training

After ending Nero the trio went back to the hotel and on the next day, they went out to explore the city and Gil liked a particular place.

Gil: "Die you mongrel!"

Gil was at the pc cafe playing the type of games, he took a liking to. First-person shooting games like Doom and Half-life. Izayoi and Arcuied who were already bored with games were just watching Gil, who was still playing after three hours.

Izayoi: "Gil, let's leave."

Gil: "Not until I kill this mongrel."

Izayoi and Arcuied tried to convince him but no help all he said was he is going to finish what he started so they decided to leave without him to see a movie.

-Half an hour later-

Izayoi and Arcuied were watching a movie, Arcuied was particularly happy about it. She lived for centuries but all she did was sleep and hunt, she never notices how much the world has changed.

Arcuied: "So this is a movie?"

Izayoi heard this and looked at her.

Izayoi: "This is your first watching a movie?"

Arcuied: "Yes, I heard about motion picture back in 1910 but I never have gone to watch that."

Izayoi: "Isn't it boring just to hunt and sleep in such a long lifetime."

Arcuied: "It's boring but this is what I have known for my life, just wake up, hunt, sleep and repeat."

Izayoi: "Do you like doing this?"

Arcuied: "I don't know? This is all I ever been doing, doing this is what was born to do."

Izayoi: "Born to do?"

Arcuied: "Yes, born to do. The original True ancestors created me to hunt down the demon lords or the vampire that started drinking blood."

Izayoi: "Vampires drinking blood is a problem?"

Arcuied: "You see Crimson Moon created True Ancestors in his image in hope to create a perfect successor. He created us so that we won't grow attached to humans just like a natural instinct but it also gave us a flaw called Bloodlust."

Izayoi: "You actually don't need to drink blood."

Arcuied: "I could drink blood to replenish energy but I don't depend on blood to live."

Izayoi: "So you limit the usage of your power to keep yourself under control."

Arcuied: "Yes."

Izayoi: "I may know how to help you. Let's go somewhere where there are fewer humans around."

Izayoi and Arcuied went outside to a place filled with abandoned building not far away from the place they fought Nero.

Arcuied: "Why did you bring me here?"

Izayoi: "Training, to get better control over your bloodlust."

Arcuied: "How are you planning to do that?"

Izayoi: "The impulse to drink blood is a complete physiological one rather than a physical one."

Arcuied: "So?"

Izayoi: "So,I want you to keep punching my palm, increase your the usage of your power punch by punch. Ok."

Arcuied: "What if I lose control?"

Izayoi: "You have seen me earlier, I should be strong enough to stop you."

Arcuied thought about this the strength displayed by Izayoi was equal to Arcuied at 100 percent.Arcuied looked back Izayoi who was pointing her palm at Arcuied.

Izayoi: "Let the training begin."

Arcuied: "30 percent."

Arcuied lunged at Izayoi and punched her palm and a web-shaped crack appeared on the ground beneath his feet.

Arcuied: "Are you really a human or an Elemental?"

Izayoi: "I am definitely not an elemental."

Arcuied jumped back and forward again and punched Izayoi's palm but this time with 40 percent of her power.

Arcuied: "A half breed on a phantasmal species like Oni."

Arcuied punched again with 50 percent of her power.

Izayoi: "Nah, definitely a human."

Arcuied: "Ok, I believe you but what about your friend?"

Izayoi: "He is a half breed."

Arcuied: "Oni."

Izayoi: "Something far stronger than oni race.What about you? How did you start working with Church?"

Arcuied: "Hundreds of years ago, True Ancestors sent me to hunt down some dead apostles that when I met him."

Izayoi: "Met who?"

Arcuied: "Michelle Roa Voldamjong."

Izayoi: "The Dead Apostle."

Arcuied: "Before he was Dead Apostle, he was a priest, a magus and the founder of Burial agency along with original Narabeck.He sought immortality different from a vampire, he already reached the peak of human strength so he did what he was at first a little reluctant to do. He became a Dead Apostle, during the weakened state he managed to convince me to drink his blood and that day I found out, I had that weakness of like others. Bloodlust.

I had gone berserk after that and killed many humans and most True Ancestors before I regained my sanity. Roa during all this freed many Dead Apostles sealed by the Church and caused a rebellion.

It took me to make an alliance with Church to take Roa and his accomplices down but Roa managed to survive in a sense. When I bit Roa, he managed to steal a portion of my power which he now used to bypass the rules of the world and reincarnate his soul along with his memories."

Izayoi was little pissed after hearing this but calmed down as losing his cool wouldn't help it.

Izayoi: "We will find him in future. Now let's do seventy."

Arcuied smiled and punched again while her eyes started glowing red.
