Blood Evolution System

An instant after he said that, nine walls of flames manifested in front of the spiral staircase, stopping the ghastly monster from advancing any further.

The monster cried tears of blood. It would turn to dust if it charged into the walls of flames. The fire element was its natural enemy. Even coming in contact with it was enough to give it soul-numbing pain. Beneath it was a sea of lava. The upper layer of the marble floor had melted, turning molten. All around it was a sea of fire. Behind it was the monster that created it.

Worst of all, that monster was stepping towards it.

"Gah!" With a roar, the monster threw itself at King Wrath. What else could it do? There was no chance that it would escape this place! The only thing it could do was take down the person who invaded its home along with it.

"You overestimate your capabilities." King Wrath scoffed as he waved one of his hands. Multiple wisps of fire surged out from the hot sea around him and instantly struck the ghastly figure, cutting its sorry figure into various pieces. Then, they lashed at it again and again until nothing except for a crimson eye was left.

That was the effect of his Hell's paradise. It lets him create a unique place that looks like a sea of flame and works like one. By using his hand, he could control it.

Simple and easy, this technique was one of his signature moves.

King Wrath grabbed the eye and asked, "What is it?"

The demon seemed to know a lot about this thing, so he was sure that it would tell him what this thing that felt like marble was helpful for if it had any uses at all.

"It's its heart."

"Disgusting."

"Careful there! Don't damage it!" The demon hurriedly yelled to stop him.

"What uses does it have?"

"Get my heart, and you'll find out."

"Tell me now, or else I will crush it."

"You stubborn brat."

"I'm still waiting."

"Okay, okay, I will give in to your stubbornness this time."

The demon sighed and explained everything to his vessel, "You've never seen a creature like this before, right? Well, it's because it only existed in my time. They had good abilities, some that defied the natural laws and order of the universe. So, I started hunting them down for their hearts. By devouring them, I gained their abilities. But I also caused their extinction. Hah, hah, hah."

"Sick bastard, you really are the harbinger of devastation."

'And I am one with it!'

'What bad luck!'

'May God my parents for binding me to such a piece of shit that causes the extinction of an entire race just to fill its belly!'

"Whatever! After you get my heart, you'll also gain that ability. Devour this heart, and you'll be able to enter the Dark World or transform your body into shadow, something only Beyond Emperor can do." The demon added.

Its words indeed sounded enticing enough for King Wrath to store the heart in his spatial device.

With a snap, the flames around him died down.

The damage it caused through wasn't restored.

The pillars looked half-melted, so did the floor.

"The thing is, where the hell is your heart?"

"Look at the floor!" The demon shouted.

King Wrath lowered his head and saw black lines behind the molten surface.

If he had never melted the floor, he would have surely missed it.

"What are these?"

King Wrath had never seen something like this.

This place contained a hell of a lot of things that he hadn't seen.

After all, all of them belonged to ancient times and the past.

"Spatial lines, and they aren't damaged, thankfully." The demon answered.

"What do they?"

"From its design, I determine that it is going to open a portal to another place for five minutes."

"How do I operate it?"

"Che, you need me for just everything now!" The demon laughed.

"Now, aren't you the one who is wasting our time?" King Wrath fought back.

"Che, just pour your blood until all the black lines turn red, and a portal will open."

King Wrath did just that.

He mercilessly made a large wound on his body, spraying his blood on the black lines.

He wasn't Vincent, who carries liters of blood on himself wherever he goes.

Thus, he could only use his blood to fill the spatial lines.

Although he looked slim, he had more than a hundred times more blood in his body than an average human.

It took a couple of minutes, but all of the spatial lines turned red.

Immediately, a portal opened up in the center of the room.

A baleful aura, along with a foul scent, wafted out of the portal.

"What is this hell of a smell? So bad, worse than shit!"

It was so bad that King Wrath's felt his guts twisting as a sense of nausea filled his mutated body.

"Bullshit! It's the beautiful smell of my heart! How dare you compare it to shit!" The demon roared angrily!

"I didn't!" King Wrath protected himself rightfully. "I said it's worse than shit!"

He corrected the demon!

"Fuck you! Hurry up and head inside! Get my heart. We only have five minutes before the portal closes.

Blaargh! King Wrath didn't move ahead. Instead, he started puking on the spot.

"What the hell are you doing?!" The demon roared.

They were so close to getting its heart, but now its vessel was showing signs of weakness!

It wanted to damn this vessel to hell!

Blaargh!

King Wrath answered by puking even more.

"Now, we have less than five minutes left." He said after puking.

"Get your ass moving, or everything we did so far will go down the drain."

"Alright, alright, I won't let that happen."

King Wrath charged into the portal and appeared twenty steps away from a coffin from which the baleful aura seeped out.
