Chapter 2 Leaving star city (1/2)

”hey, who do you think that kid was? he was soooooo cute!” the girl asked. ”how am i supposed to know? his parents probably died or something, leaving him without anyone to rely on. didn't you hear the coldness in his voice was? just leave the kid alone, that's what he wants.” the boy said dazed, as if remembering something.

”ehhh? but if he doesn't have anyone to rely on, shouldn't i do something? i know! i'll adopt him as my little brother!” she said excitedly. noah looked at his junior sister and smiled helplessly. ”what ever makes you happy, ava.” they got out of the forest after a few more minutes.

when they got into the city they saw a lot of people wearing azure robes, running around looking for something. ”find that bastard! an outcast like him dares to beat up someone from the azure clan! find him and beat him to death!” a middle aged man shouted angrily.

Ava and noah walked up to a stall that had yet to close up. ”what's going on?” noah asked. the stall owner looked at them but said nothing. noah took out few of copper coins and repeated the question. ”those people are from the azure clan. they are looking for a boy they exiled a few years ago. apparently the boy beat two twins savagely, now both of them are crippled and the girl can't even have children anymore.” when the stall owner finished, he looked to Noah's hand expectantly.

ava and noah walked off. ”hey noah, do you think that cute kid we met is the one they are looking for?” ava asked. ”it's a possibility, but i don't thing that's the case. and didn't i tell you to call me senior brother?” he replied. ”noah, noah, noah, i will never call you senior brother! stupid noah!” she stuck out her tongue.

noah sighed helplessly and said nothing more about the matter.

in the forest.

levi was sleeping in the tree, when he heard a group of people walking towards his direction. he opened his eyes and hid in the shadows of the night. ”do you really think that waste is in this forest? i don't think he could survive a single day out here!” one man said. ”well, he wasn't in the city, so where else could he be?” another one said.

”tch! this is so annoying! split up and search! if you find that brat, kill him and bring back his head!” the leader of the group said impatiently. the group of 5 men split up, 4 going in different directions and the last stayed to search the area.

levi, who was hiding in the tree heard everything the man said. his heart becoming increasingly cold. 'want to kill me? very well then! i will kill all of you first!' he thought. stalking the man with his eyes, levi was just waiting for an opportunity.

the man came under the branch that levi was sleeping on and paused before a splashing sound disturbed the quiet forest. levi silently walked across the broad branch, and waited. when the man was putting his third leg back, levi jumped from the branch and landed on the man's shoulders.

levi stabbed at the mans head with the sharp rock, but then got thrown off of the mans shoulders. ”you bastard! i'm going to kill you!” the man screamed in anger. how could he not be angry? he was almost killed with a sneak attack.

the man pulled out a dagger that he had around his waist, and rushed at levi. levi dodged to the side and quickly punched the man in his side. ”hahaha, you trash think you can hurt me with a punch like that? dream on!” the man sneered, then ran towards levi again.

this time levi didn't dodge, he stood still and waited. oh and in case you forgot, this man is swinging around two daggers at the moment. when the knife was about to stab into his chest, he lifted his hand. the knife pierced through his palm.

”agghhhhh!” levi kicked the mans second dagger with all of his might, which caused him to scream in a high pitched voice. taking this chance, levi pulled the knife out from his palm and stabbed the man in his throat. and just to make sure he would die, he stabbed him in the heart.

the moment his hand came in contact with the blood of the man, it was absorbed into his body. although he didn't get a bloodline or a skill, his body was filled with energy. it seems that even if he doesn't get bloodlines or skills, he would at the very least get some energy and nutrients. the cut on his hand healed at a visible speed.

levi kept the knife and ran of in the direction of one of the men. just as he left, another man came back. when he saw the body of one of them, he was startled. ”which bastard killed him!” he screamed. at this moment, levi was stalking another one. like a beast stalking his prey, his figure flashed and he hid behind trees.

the unsuspecting man carelessly bent over to check a bush. at this moment, levi struck. stabbing the man in the back multiple times as he screamed from the pain. even after the man fell to the ground, levi kept stabbing. stabbing until the man stopped moving, at this point he was covered in blood. but have no fear, all of the blood was absorbed into his body.

the mans body shrank when all of his blood was absorbed. levi took the short sword that the man had and his money pouch. he then ran back to the direction he came from. when he got close to where he killed the first man, he slowed down and hid.
