Blood

Lucifer turned around Olivia and lance were right behind him he walked in front of them and said "while we're in hear if you see me with armor on don't call me by my name call me reaper I don't want to do something reckless in here and have it affect my life outside, also I'm gonna go hunt by myself I want to grow in here so I'm probably gonna get in to really bad situations anyway before I leave I have a gift". lucifer then points a finger at lance and Olivia's chest he focuses and a burst of rage flows out of him towards the both of them they felt like they were drowning in a sea of killing intent. A black dot then flew at Olivia and lance, the black dot separated into 2 dots and then separated again into 4 black dots. 2 black dots went inside of Olivia's chest and head then lances chest and head, lucifer then put his hands down and said "each dot can save you from one half step divine core attack anything above that and it can't save you, once a dot is broken ill feel it and I'll immediately try and get to you. alright, I'll get going bye".

Lucifer said this waved and then took off running back into the forest. After a couple of minutes of running lucifer made sure his armor was fully on and then he put his spear into his inventory and summoned Fafnir's beast soul he held the sword and kept moving but it wasn't long until he felt something watching him. He looked around and saw nothing out of the ordinary he then opened his mouth to tell whoever was watching him come out but no sound came out. he wanted to summon his mask and run away but he couldn't move it was as if time was frozen. Then a cold and demonic voice said "you have fallen into my domain boy normally I would just devourer anyone who was here but you seem quite capable. Your blood seems very powerful so ill allow you to live if you test your compatibility with the blood element" the voice pauses as a hand made of blood points in front of Lucifer and a path appears in the dense line of trees, at the end of the said path there was a bloody tree with thousands of faces all in agony. The voice then continues "if you can touch that tree and live then you must eat the fruit of the tree and Live, or you could go into my void and survive for 1 hour, inside my void, there are thousands of horrifying beasts but they will all be lowered to the half step divine core realm but, if you are fighting one beast the others won't try to fight you as well. So which do you choose". Lucifer then felt like he could move but he knew he couldn't escape. Lucifer thought about it and he knew from reading about the elements and asking Sarah he knew that out of billions of people only a handful will have the blood element, and while surviving against a half step divine core beast would be impossible for a normal early heavenly core realm cultivator it would be easy for lucifer since they would be weaker then Fafnir and now he had his mask, sword, and shield. lucifer then tried to ask the system but she wasn't responding so it looked like this being could limit the system so he just went with his gut and pointed at the void in space. The voice sounded surprised but still coldly said "very well" the bloody hand snapped its fingers and lucifer was pulled into the void. lucifer then felt like he was on a Rollercoaster he couldn't see anything as he traveled through the darkness and then he violently slammed into the ground. Lucifer groaned in pain and stood up and looked around and saw that there were thousands of horrifying beasts they were individually weaker than Fafnir. But lucifer then saw 4 beasts that made him very nervous each beast was sounding him from a different direction there was a black turtle to the north a dragon to the east a phoenix to the south and a white tiger to the west. one of the beasts made him very happy the dragon because if he killed it the beast would help him with his cultivation. But even though the beasts felt weaker than Fafnir the beasts felt weird it was hard to describe. It was as if Fafnir was a warrior that had fought in countless battles and killed thousands and the 4 beasts were like a young crown prince even though the warrior was way stronger. The prince had access to more knowledge and techniques and the prince felt holy as if he had confidence that came from his very blood like a pride deeply written on his bones. while the warrior was stronger lucifer would rather fight the warrior. lucifer then got ready he summoned his sword and mask he pushed his bloodlines to the max and used the demonic tyrant art. Lucifer was ready but he waited until the beasts moved first, he noticed that the smaller beasts wanted lucifer but they didn't dare move with the superior beasts there. the 4 beasts glared at lucifer for a hit sizing him up before they roared and charged at him so he gripped his sword and charged at the dragon. In the same void, hundreds of thousands of miles away from lucifer a woman laid on a bed in a palace made of blood and bones she was so mesmerizing that using the word beautiful to describe her would be an insult. her fair skin practically glowed in the darkness, her long red hair matched her scarlet eyes perfectly. she was wearing a red dress and looking out her window towards Lucifer in the void she was mumbling to herself " why does this boy have so many treasures and even without those treasures his physique and blood would be enough to allow him to go toe to toe with that dragon despite being 3 stages weaker, even though I have the four beasts bloodlines are heavily suppressed by me it's still very impressive I wonder what race this boy is it seems like his blood is mixed but his 2 bloodlines aren't conflicting this child is strange" the woman said fascinated by Lucifer's blood. Lucifer saw that the dragon was moving its head forward to bite it and immediately slid underneath it he used cold feet right next to the dragon's front feet and then he tried to jump up slightly to walk on his star again so he jumped up and didn't fall back down dut when he looked down he wasn't standing on anything. He looked at his feet and underneath them, he saw something weird the air itself looked like it was moving it was like how air moved near a heater. Lucifer wanted to think about it but he had no time as the dragon was trying to lay down on him to crush him so lucifer had no time to think he had to act so he tried to move and it felt like the very universe was trying to help him he flew away from the dragon right as it slammed on the ground. The dragon touched the ice and violently slipped on the ice but the dragon was too big it was able to flap its wings and slid out of the ice. the dragon got back up and opened its mouth it roared and fired a huge beam of energy at lucifer, he looked at the energy beam and landed his feet touched the ground he then he raised his arm shield he looked at the beam and thought that it would have been better if his shield was bigger so it could block the whole beam. lucifer then saw the shield grow bigger it grew until it could protect lucifer from the beam, the beam then slammed into the shield, and lucifer heard a cold chuckle. the shield was blocking the beam and the face looked like it was mocking the dragon. The beam faded aside from his arm feeling very sore he felt fine he smiled confidently and the shield shrunk back to its normal size. Back at the palace, the woman was smiling with excitement as she continues talking to her self she giggled " those aren't treasures those are beast souls hahaha a disciple of heaven walked into my domain, and he's so young he has to be one of the youngest disciples ever and with his double bloodlines even if he were an idiot he would have amazing potential, it looks like I the blood empress have found a student".
