Blood demon leveling

Chapter 61: New party

Mike took a long time to calm down, around him killing intent so dense it was almost visible formed as he thought about all the things that could and probably had happened in three years

'Shit SHIT..!'

Mike felt the urge to rearrange someone's face with his fists, but he managed to keep himself from destroying the prayer room in a fit of pure anger, only just though

'HECTOR I WILL KILL YOU'

Mike fumed for a long time until he managed to calm down somewhat and walked out of the prayer room, although the dense killing intent was still around him so people kept their distance from him as he walked out on the streets again, without saying a word he walked out of the city heading south

A few days of walking and nearly freezing to death in the wilds later Mike arrived at a port city that seemed to be the southern most point on the island he found himself on, Mike walked into the city after showing his ID at the gates from there he walked towards the port and after asking around he finally found a sailor that knew about Threa, from what Mike could piece together Threa was two islands away from him, he still didn't know what the island he was currently on was named and frankly, he didn't care, all he cared for was saving up to the trip to next island which was named Darbel, making it there however would take 5.000 for a trip. But there was something more important for Mike and that was regaining his former strength as soon as possible, he had understandably become a little distrustful of other people since he had become enslaved, Mike clenched his fist a few times as he elevated his current strength

'...about 40% still A couple humans worth of blood would go a long way'

Mike then counted his remaining money and found that he had 563 left

'I need to find some work To the guild it is'

Mike went to the guild and quickly found some work on the request board, there was just a little problem

'Why does anything other than cleaning the streets of snow require one to be in a party..?'

Mike felt a headache coming on, but before it could set in completely someone poked him on the shoulder, Mike knew they were there, after all his senses were still sharp so he calmly turned around and saw a young woman, she was wearing some leather armor and carried a sword on her hip, she had snow white hair and red eyes, she showed a smile when Mike looked at her

"Hey there, are you looking for a party?"

Mike gave a mental sigh before he gave a nod, his desire to get off this godforsaken island was bigger than his general distrust of people

"That's great! You see me and some of my friends are looking for a new member of our party before we take a job, do you want to join?"

MIke mentally calculated the time it would take him to save up for the trip to Darbel by clearing snow each day before he reluctantly gave a nod

"...Sure"

"Great!"

The young woman took him by the hand and half dragged him over to a table in the guild were 2 other people sat, one was a young man and the other was a young woman, the young woman was the first to notice Mike being dragged over by her friend and asked

"Silvia, did you find someone?"

"Yeah that I did, this is Wait what's your name again mister?"

"...Mike"

"Oh, nice to meet you, Mike, I am Silvia!"

By this time the young man also noticed Mike and gave a smile as he stood up and reached his hand out to Mike as he introduced himself

"Hello Mike, my name is Will"

Mike shook hands with the youngster, while they weren't half his age they were at least ten years younger than him, at this point, the other young woman spoke up

"My name is Jill, nice to meet you, Mike"

Mike gave a nod before he sat down at the table while his mind spun, then WIll asked him

"So Mike, what is your motivation to join our party?"

Mike gave a slight smile and spoke

"I am thinking of heading to Darbel and try my luck there... So I need some money for the trip"

"I see Well as far as motivations go it's a good one, I have no objections of you joining our party Mike, Welcome aboard"

Will showed a smile for a moment before his ear was pinched by Jill

"Ouch! Sis, what's your problem!?"

"You forgot to ask his level, you numbskull"

"Oh Sorry Mike I need to know your level before I can let you join"

Mike thought for a moment, with his current strength he could show the strength of about four level 3's with him being at 40% strength

"I am level 3"

Jill covered her mouth before she exclaimed with sparkling eyes

"Oh a level 3, how rare!"

Will looked amazed, like he suddenly respected Mike a whole lot more

"Amazing So that's why you want to go to Darbel, it has a higher mana density right?"

Mike didn't know about that but still he gave a nod, Will fell into thought for a moment before he asked

"Since you are level 3 can you train us a little before the next job? Of course, we'll pay you"

Mike didn't see any harm in receiving a little more income so he agreed

"Sure

Besides he was confident that he could kill all three of them in the wilds later if he needed to, even with the cheap dagger he had, that would of course not change if he trained them a little

"Then can we start now?"

Silvia stood up and took Mike by the hand before she dragged him onto his feet and spoke

"I don't see why not, let's go to the training field!"

Mike gave a sigh, he was getting caught up in their pace

'Well, it's not all bad to forget for a moment'

Mike was lead by Silvia out to the training field that was outside where the group picked up some wooden weapons, Mike took a dagger while the other three wielded wooden swords, Jill looked at Mike's wooden dagger and asked

"Won't you be at a disadvantage with that?"

Mike gave a slight smile and asked

"Why don't you come at me and find out?"

Mike then proceeded to wipe the floor with the three of them for about half an hour all the while he helped them improve, just not on certain points

'It won't do if they get too strong and try to ambush me in my sleep Better leave some gaps in their skill level so I can easily overpower them'

This was of course very dangerous for the three of them but Mike didn't really care whether they lived or died once he left the island

'Just need to keep them alive long enough for me to earn enough for the trip I also need to be wary of pursuit from the mines'

"Ha...Ha...Ha G-Guess a dagger can win over a sword"

Mike gave a nod

"It all depends on how you use it"

Silvia showed a smile as she spoke to Mike, she didn't look exhausted like the twins that laid on the ground, nevertheless, she realized Mike wasn't going to teach them anymore for now and quickly dug into her pockets and took out some coin

"Here Mike"

Mike took the coin, he wasn't shy, plus they did say they would pay him before they started, Mike quickly counted the coin and gave a nod

'200, that'll last me for the night in an inn Not bad for beating around some weaklings for half an hour'

"So When are we taking a job?"

Will was a little frustrated because he lost to Mike (despite the level difference, you know because boys will be boys) so he snapped at him

"What, you got somewhere to be?"

Mike looked over at him and gave a nod before he spoke

"Yeah, my girlfriend is waiting for me on Thera"

Silvia looked like she suddenly took a punch to the gut before she asked

"You have a girlfriend Mike?"

Mike gave a nod as a smile unconsciously showed on his face

"Yeah... I love her very much"

"Then Why do you look like you want to cry?"

"Because I Nevermind, let's end this for today, I'll be at the guild tomorrow, come find me if you guys want to find a job"

Mike then turned and walked away from the trainingfield, when he was gone Jill stood up and patted Silvia on her shoulder

"...Do your best Silvia"

"Yes I am not giving up!"

Will gave a sigh and laid back down before he muttered

"Man I want a girlfriend too"

Jill looked over at Will and spoke

"Then stop acting like a douche"
