Chapter 31

Just as the beast was about to reach her she turned around and fell backwards from the tree while drawing her bow. He was surprised by this.

The jackal passed above her, it stomach wide open, she grinned and released the arrow. The jackal fell with a yelp as a metal arrow was stuck in it stomach.

She on the other hand did not fall down, she hanged from the branch upside down, before the beast could run she nocked another metal arrow and shot it in the ribs.

It stood up and ran but she did not chase it. He can see it, it speed had slowed down, it was severely wounded. She climbed back into the tree.

He expected her to start going after it but she did not, instead she closed her eyes. Nocked another metal arrow and just stood there. I hear it, she said.

He wondered what she was talking about. I hear it, she repeated. It whispers, I can hear it whispers, the wind talks to me. If he wasn't seeing what he was seeing he would've called her crazy.

But little ghust of wind were flowing around her gracefully, it was dancing to her like a child seeing it parent, his falcon bloodline could tell the wind was happy, somehow.

He didn't understand it either but it felt like it loved her. She drew her bow string with her eyes still closed. Surprisingly she aimed exactly at where the jackal was.

She released the bow but there was no booming sound as one would expect when something moved at that speed, the arrow cut the air without disturbing it much.

Wind dancing around it, it looked like it was increasing it speed, there was a soft sound like cloth being cut but it was not as loud as it should be.

The jackal noticed too late, before it could react the arrow punctured through it neck sending a spray of blood flying through the air.

The jackal cried once and fell down dead. She smiled then fell from the tree as well, his body flickered to hers and caught her before she could hit the ground.

Her breathing was heavy and she was hot, her clothes had become wet from sweat and was stuck to her body. Shade, he whispered and Shade jumped down from the tree he was hiding on.

Get her home, he placed her on top of Shade who ran with her back to town. He on the other hand spent the next few minutes collecting her arrows.

He dragged the corpse back home and when he arrived Anitta was standing next to a bed. A very obviously sick Thea was sleeping on it, the bed sheets were soaked with her sweat.

What happened? Anitta asked. System what happening to her?( Individual named Thea is suffering from essence blood loss) what? What does that mean?

(In the heat of battle she unintentionally entered hyper mode and activated her bloodline ability prematurely, due to her lack of blood essence energy the ability used her essence blood as a substitute)

How do I fix this? (Host will need to regenerate her essence blood) how?

(Host can either grant her, her bloodline again or use 5 bloodpoints and the system can help host preserve essence blood outside of his body for an hour, then feed her the essence blood or simply wait for it to regenerate on it own over time)

He looked at her, no, waiting is not an option. The others were looking at him for answers, even Anitta did not have the answers this time so she was hoping he did.

I will be back, he said as he turned to leave. No wait, you have to tell us what wrong with her, she needs help, Anitta said. Don't worry, I'll take care of it, he said as he went out the door.

Damn that was cool, don't worry I'll take care of it, I'm sure they were mesmerized by my manliness, he thought with a smile while walking alone in the forest.

He was here to get essence blood and in a few minutes he saw his target, one of the boars was busy chewing on a tree bark. These things are always eating.

He looked at the poor creature, he had killed so many of their kind he was starting to feel sorry for them but it was like their numbers do not dwindle at all.

They give birth to dozens of babies who grow to adulthood in weeks due to consuming the blood berries which contains blood essence, so even if he killed a few of then a week,more will just come.

It didn't take long for him to end it pitiful life, okay system how do I do this? (Host will have to manually extract the essence blood) manually extract it, okay I get it, should be easy.

He did not get it but he assumed he just had to stab the boar where the essence blood was and he was right. Would you look at that, I did get it.

If he knew he would have to extract the essence blood himself he would've brought a bottle or something. He picked a large leaf and place the gold blob of blood on it.

He arrived back in Thea room and they all turned towards him. So, tell us, what wrong with Thea? It nothing serious don't worry, she just used her essence blood that all.

Used her essence blood? Isn't essence blood the source of ones bloodline? Yep. Then how, how did she use it? I've never heard of anything like that.

Anitta said with surprise. Well that because it dangerous so nobody really does it unless necessary, he was lying, he didn't know why there's no information about it or if it even possible for others or Thea was just special.

But he'd be damned if he admits that, he already pretended to be knowledgeable and did that cool exit, wouldn't admitting he didn't know ruin that, no way.

What he didn't know though was that he was not far from the truth. He approached Theas bed and had her open her mouth then fed her the essence blood then waited.
