Chapter 273: The devil?
As Blake slammed the gang leader to the ground, the crack of the man's nose breaking echoed through the club, and blood spurted from the wound, staining the floor crimson. The other men in the club reacted swiftly, drawing their guns and leveling them at Blake with trembling hands.
Ignoring the imminent threat, Blake smirked at the gang members, his confidence unwavering despite the odds stacked against him. "You lot aren't so bright, are you?" he taunted, his voice dripping with disdain.
In the blink of an eye, Blake's eyes flashed a fiery red, a menacing glow that sent shivers down the spines of the gang members. Tears of blood welled up in his eyes, but they never fell, defying the laws of gravity as they hung suspended in midair.
Charlie exchanged a bewildered glance with his friend, their fear palpable as they struggled to comprehend the supernatural force standing before them. "What in the hell is this guy?" Charlie muttered under his breath, his voice trembling with disbelief.
Before anyone could react, the club erupted into chaos as the gang members opened fire, unleashing a barrage of bullets in Blake's direction. The air was filled with the deafening roar of gunfire as bullets tore through the air, aimed at the seemingly invincible intruder.
As the barrage of bullets continued to rain down on Blake, he remained steadfast, his stoic demeanor belying the chaos unfolding around him. Unbeknownst to his assailants, Blake was utilizing his newfound blood manipulation abilities to deflect and neutralize their attacks.
With practiced precision, he subtly twiddled his fingers behind his back, exerting his control over the crimson liquid flowing from the gang leader's broken nose. Blake had discovered the extent of his blood powers through trial and error, realizing he could also shape it to his will.
Although he had limited control, he had learnt a thing or two during the travel back from the island and was poised to put it into combat situation.
As the blood flowed towards him, weaving through the air like a sinister ribbon, Blake paid no heed to the bullets that struck his transformed body. His vampiric form rendered him impervious to their impact, each shot merely registering as a minor annoyance.
With a calm focus, Blake gathered the blood, forming it into tendrils that writhed and danced with an otherworldly grace. The gang members, their guns still trained on Blake, faltered as they witnessed the surreal spectacle unfolding before them.
"What the hell is happening?" one of them muttered, his voice trembling with disbelief.
"Is he controlling the blood?" another whispered, his eyes wide with fear and confusion.
The gang leader, now lying on the ground with a shattered nose, watched in stunned silence as Blake manipulated the blood with effortless skill. Despite his injuries, he couldn't tear his gaze away from the supernatural display before him.
Meanwhile, Blake continued to shape the blood, molding it into deadly tendrils that swirled around him like serpents poised to strike. With a flick of his wrist, he sent the tendrils slicing through the air, their razor-sharp edges gleaming in the dim light of the club.
The tendrils slithered through the air like serpents, their movements precise and deadly. In a matter of seconds, they penetrated the barrels of the gang members' guns, rendering them useless with a sickening crunch. Simultaneously, they lashed out at three of the gang members, their arms sliced to the bone, blood spurting from the gruesome wounds.
With swift and merciless precision, the tendrils continued their assault, darting from one target to the next. They sliced through the throat of one gang member, silencing his screams with a gurgling choke. Another fell as the tendrils severed his legs, leaving him writhing in agony on the ground.
One by one, the gang members succumbed to the onslaught of the blood tendrils, their cries of pain echoing through the club. Some attempted to take cover behind tables, seeking refuge from the relentless attack, but Blake showed no mercy.
With a gesture of his hand, he called back the blood tendrils, coalescing them into a swirling vortex of crimson energy. The vortex pulsed with malevolent power as Blake gathered the blood into a circular disk, shaping it into a deadly weapon.
With a primal roar, Blake unleashed the blood disk, hurling it towards the gang members with devastating force. The disk sliced through the air with a chilling whistle, its edges razor-sharp and gleaming in the dim light of the club.
The gang members, caught off guard by the sudden onslaught, had no time to react as the blood disk tore through their makeshift barricade. Bodies flew through the air, their screams of agony mingling with the sound of shattering glass and splintering wood.
With a sickening thud, the blood disk found its mark, carving a path of destruction through the club. Limbs were severed, bones shattered, and flesh torn asunder in its wake.
As the dust settled and the screams faded into silence, Blake stood amidst the carnage, his chest heaving with exertion. The club lay in ruins around him, its once lively atmosphere now replaced by death and destruction.
But Blake showed no remorse for what he had done. He had faced the gang members head-on and emerged victorious, demonstrating the full extent of his newfound powers. And as he surveyed the aftermath of his rampage, he knew that he had only just begun to tap into his true potential.
Blake recalled the blood disc to his side and as Blake moved through the carnage, the blood disk hovered at his side like a loyal companion, its crimson glow casting eerie shadows across the room. Despite the chaos and destruction surrounding him, he felt strangely at peace, almost as if he had finally found his place in the world.
The sight of blood no longer repulsed him; instead, it drew him in with an almost hypnotic allure. It felt familiar, comforting even, like returning to a long-lost home.
Amidst the mangled bodies and severed limbs, Blake's keen senses picked up the faint sound of whimpering. With a sense of purpose, he followed the sound until he came upon a figure lying on the ground, coughing and writhing in pain.
Kneeling down beside the wounded man, Blake studied him with a mixture of curiosity and detachment. The man's eyes widened in terror as he saw Blake looming over him, the blood disk pulsating with malevolent energy at his side.
As Blake knelt beside the wounded man, his eyes locked on the bloodied figure writhing in pain. The man's attempts to escape were futile, his legs sliced through by Blake's blood tendrils, rendering him immobile.
"You're a devil," the man spat, his voice trembling with fear and anger. "What do you want from me?"
Blake's lips curled into a smirk as he regarded the man with amusement. "No need for the attitude," he replied casually. "I'm just a little hungry, and your blood smells particularly enticing."
The man recoiled in horror, his eyes widening in disbelief. "You're some kind of demon," he whispered, his voice barely above a terrified whisper. "Why would I let you feed on me?"
Blake chuckled darkly, the sound sending shivers down the man's spine. "I admire your bravado," he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "But bravery isn't exactly the best moral attribute right now."
With a sinister grin, Blake leaned in closer to the man, his eyes gleaming with hunger. "I could simply take your blood," he whispered, his voice low and menacing. "But that would be like a violation,"
The man scoffed, his voice trembling with fear and defiance. "Are you insane?" he demanded, his gaze darting around the room at the lifeless bodies strewn about. "Look around you! What does it matter what you do now? You've already killed so many!"
Blake scratched his head thoughtfully, considering the man's words. "You have a point," he admitted, his grin widening into a malicious smile. "But that doesn't change the fact that I'm hungry."
