Chapter 13 - Blood Calamity Part 1 (2/2)

Now as he looked at it, inspiration struck him. Immediately, Will brought out a large amount of water and turned it all into vapor. Then he guided this vapor and mixed it with the blood mist. He activated his blood lust and expanded it as far as possible, including the area that the blood mist was in.

With his water vapor included, Will was able to expand the blood mist by quite a bit. He also discovered that the expansion of his bloodlust made him able to control the blood in the blood mist to a certain degree.

Will made the blood mist expand, by adding more water vapor, till the point where the mist covered an area of at least 600 meters in diameter on the ground. Its height was about a hundred meters. Due to the effect of bloodlust, senses inside the blood mist were dulled, to the extent where it was hard to even see past your hand, even with Will's superior senses. Only intense killing intent could be felt.

This killing intent was not only due to the bloodlust itself, but due to the leftover will from the thousands of victims that fell to Will's sword. The combination of killing intent, the concentrated smell of blood and the lack of visibility, made this fog perfect cover.

It was impossible to detect were killing intent came from, once you were in this blood mist. Will was inside, but to him, he could see as clearly as ever, not with his eyes though, but due to the water. The water meister class, allowed Will to control water as if it was an extension of his body, this also included sensory functions. Anything that touched the water vapor, was under Will's control, would be detected by Will. Now that his class had upgraded, this ability had been enhanced.

Due to there being water everywhere, Will was essentially omniscient in this fog. He could move unhindered and could control one's senses. This was his world, and those that entered it would be doomed to die. Or at least that's what Will thought.

That's when Will heard a set of howls. He roughly detected the auras of six very powerful beings outside his blood mist. Due to the distance, he couldn't tell much, so he waited calmly. Then one of the six charged into the mist, howling to announce its presence.

Will was surprised by what he saw, this wolf was only slightly bigger than a guardian, thus one would only expect it to be slightly stronger, but the difference in power between the two was as great as the difference between heaven and earth.

This new wolf was so strong, Will almost couldn't move, his entire body felt like it was in cement. His sense of fear put to extremes. Will had assumed he no longer feared death, but this time he was proven wrong. If Will had covered himself in condensed bloodlust like before, he would have discovered that it would have alleviated the pressure.

The large wolf was moving step by step, straight toward the center, right where Will was. Although its visibility and sense of smell were useless in here, this mighty beast still had not lost its sense of direction.

Will could feel the raw power and energy coming from the wolf's body; he knew that one blast of wind from this beast, was enough to send his so-called world to kingdom come. Yet it didn't. It just continued, walking straight toward Will.

Maybe it was due to pride, or perhaps it was confident in its ability. Either way, the wolf did nothing except just walking. Will thanked the stars for his good fortune. He calmed himself down and decided to take action. Either he moves now, or he dies if it becomes impatient.

Will stopped his own breathing, in an attempt to reduce his presence as much as possible. He didn't have to worry about hiding his killing intent in here, because it was everywhere, but the wolf still had its sense of hearing, so Will didn't have to take his chances. This was also the reason Will never took a single step. Aside from the noise, he was afraid that the vibrations from his movements could alert the wolf. This wise move turned out to be his life saver.

With his superior body and powerful yuan, he could go for many hours without breathing anyway. He only did so out of reflex.

When the wolf was only a few steps away, Will made up his mind. Bit by bit he started condensing water vapor right around the wolf's neck. This action was very subtle, so it didn't catch the wolf's attention; after all, none of these wolves knew what Will could do.

This is it. It is now or never.

With all his might, Will swung both his hands together. The vapor condensed into a water blade and attacked the wolf. It didn't have enough power to penetrate the wolf's skin, so it barely did any damage; the wolf snickered in its heart at this weak attack, and opened its mouth, preparing to blast this mist away.

Unfortunately for the wolf, it took Will far too lightly. Using the distraction caused by the water blade, Will quickly appeared by the wolf's side and condensed all of his bloodlust onto his body and sword.

With all of his strength, he swung, severing the wolf's head from its body. It was at this moment that Will gained a chance at survival. It was at this moment, that Will gained something very important. It was at this moment that Will gained Momentum.
