The Adventures of Rose Hood

Regala snarled and lunged onto me, throwing me into the streets. Then she became her dragon form and slashed, but I simply dodged. Because I received something.

[You have been gifted a blessing from the Supreme Faction. The Skill: Taboo Slayer, you are 125% as strong against users of Forbidden magic. This skill will be improved whenever you slay a user. As such your received XP will be increased by the same percentage.]

I struck at her with my extra power.

She leapt at me, claws first. No openings were present, so she grabbed me and threw me outside of the gates.

I landed within the ranks of her men.

Analysis showed that they averaged 250.

She expected me to be overwhelmed. That was confirmed when Thalia charged her, and they fought mid-air. Thalia at a major disadvantage.

“The Leader. Kill her in the name of Lady Regala!”

[The Faction (Dominion) has declared war on you.]

Thank you ever so much, you useless system.

I won’t let this happen again.

I’ll kill every single person here.

_

The shock of what just happened began to wear off as we snapped into action.

Mammon shot forward to aid Thalia as I ran to the gate with Ausar and Amy.

The sight that awaited us was shocking.

We expected Rose to be hurt and close to dead, but instead she was ripping them apart.

“What’s happening?!”

Amy was in shock.

Ausar knew though.

“She’s bloodlusted.”

It was at that point that I remembered that while she fought for a while, she hadn’t killed for months.

“She was waiting for this.”

Then I heard the system.

[The individual Heather has reached level 55; her health is restored, and her skills have strengthened.]

“She’s grinding XP.”

“She’s going to do it.”

“No, No NO!!! How is my force losing?!”

“Because you underestimated our sister. She’s far beyond you.”

“Out of my WAY!!!”

She slashed Thalia, causing her to fall and crash into a home bleeding.

“Rose, I will kill you.”

Rose only looked over and smiled, her face melting into the horror.

“Try me.”

_

I was bloodlusted, I needed more blood.

Killing these weaklings wasn’t enough to sate me, then my beautiful sibling came. Someone enough to give me an actual challenge.

I couldn’t help but smile.

“What the **** is that?!”

I crushed the skull of one of her weaklings, and she charged me and attempted to kill me.

I charged and clashed, staying as a catkin.

I shouted in glee as she began to bleed.

She realized my state and used forbidden magic, but I dodged.

I wouldn’t rest until I had enough blood to sate me, and the perfect amount was right in front of me.

“DIE!!!”

She struck me with an attack that cut me in half, but I just stood up.

“What?”

I didn’t care for realities laws. They held me back.

System override would help.

[Command, heal me.]

Whenever she cut me, I would simply use the system to restore myself. She was growing tense.

“Ah come on sister, don’t freak out. If you beg for mercy,”

Kin-killer showed confusion, so I continued.

“I’ll make it quick.”

She seemed to understand something.

“I just need to kill you in one blow, that should be easy.”

She slashed me in half long ways, and I simply stood back up.

She blasted me into oblivion, but I returned from a cell.

“How, how, HOW!!!”

Her rage was obviously prevalent, but I didn’t care.

“Any dragon, as long as they preserve 1 HP can return, but I can regenerate faster.”

She looked at me with minor fear. It was delicious.

“So, big sister, how do you want to die.”

Her blood would be enough. I knew it. She knew it.

“That’s the smile, isn’t it.”

“Ah, you noticed my beauty.”

“That’s far from what I’d consider beautiful.”

“Ah, so cruel~ I simply need to reciprocate.”

I leapt and slashed at her, and she leapt back, but I chopped off one of her claws.

She roared in pain and her blood dripped.

The blood fell on my hand. And I smiled at the feeling.

“I need more.”

This glee felt wonderful. But she wasn’t attacking anymore. Why?

“GIVE ME MORE!!!”

I shifted into a dragon 5 times her size and bit down on her. She wriggled and writhed in pain.

Ripping off her own arm she ran off and reconnected with her army.

“We need to get out of here.”

I wasn’t going to let them just go.

“Arcane Oblivion.”

The arcane armor formed around me and I smiled.

[You have maxed out Arcane Divination, do you wish to fuse it with skills: Fire divination, Water divination, Air divination, Earth divination.]

[Of course, it will get me new blood.]

Kin-killers eyes widened as I spoke with the system.

[You have created a new skill. You evolved a fusion and made a new skill: Reality magic. As a result, you have reached level 60.]

[Reality Magic? Fun.]

“What?”

[Aspect of the Reality Dragon]

[Aspect of the World Mother]

I equipped both aspects afforded to me and returned to catkin form. My skin had begun to melt and I seemed decrepit.

“Kill her while she’s weak!!!”

“Wait!!!”

No matter her screams, kin-killer’s men were on a revenge rage. She counted her options and ran.

“Die beast.”

I ate him.

“What?”

“How did that ha-“

I ate another.

My body was dismorphed and covered in blood.

[System has been successfully updated.]

[Use of the skill Savage Beast will now cause immense exhaustion after use.]

I leapt and continued to rip them apart. Eventually the army fled and ran.

[You have reached level 96; your health has been restored.]

I killed roughly 67% of that army, not enough.

“Not enough.”

I looked back, three sources of blood were waiting.

“Rose?”

“I need more.”

“Rose?”

“More.”

“Heather?”

“GIVE IT TO M-“

[Savage Beast has disabled. Stamina has been reduced to 0. Bloodlust state removed. Entering dormant state.]
