Chapter 141 - Alluring Blood (1/2)
A big shoutout to NonReal for joining the patron family and supporting! Thanks a lot!

”Out of all the humans I have tasted... your family's taste is the worst...”
The mountain remained covered in a blanket of beautiful snow that formed an ethereal landscape that surrounded a lone hut at the top of the hill. Yet, the heavy scent of blood permeating through the area entailed another story.
A man with beautiful features, pale white skin and a cold, cruel, pink pupils threw the butchered infant to the side. He calmly regarded the shivering girl, a beautiful one at that before a gentle smile appeared on his face.
”But I do wonder... what will happen if the Kamado lineage birthed a demon.
Say, little lady, wouldn't you like to find it out?”
Seeing her terrified appearance, the man chuckled in amusement.
”Maybe, you might just overcome the weaknesses of us demons.”
The girl opened her mouth wide! She wished to scream in anguish, pain and hatred. Her mother and siblings... even her year-old brother laid dead, their eyes lifeless yet tearing her heart into many bits and pieces that she wished to puke.
But nothing came up, not a single sound.
The pressure was simply too heavy as the man immediately slashed her shoulders before his hand pierced her stomach. She could feel something entering her body. A strange, horrendous presence, but she was unable to fight against it as she soon lost her consciousness.
Taking out his hand, the man licked his fingers before a flash of surprise passed through his pupils.
”Ohh~ This is definitely interesting. Your blood tastes like shit when you are a human... but an absolute delicacy when turned, huh...”
The man smiled softly and gently cupped the beautiful girl's cheeks as he warmly spoke out.
”Of course, now, you do not need the memories of your human self anymore.
Eat and grow well, I really wish to see what terror a Kamado Demon can create.”

Once again, a group of people surrounded Nik as they waited for the pressure around him to disappear.
In front of him, a small panel suddenly popped out.
[Do you wish to learn the language?
Price— 80 SO.
Form your identity—
Low-Class Citizen— 10 SO
Noble Lord— 100 SO]
Nik shrugged and paid a total of 90 SO as the information regarding his identity and language was sent to his consciousness. Meanwhile, Brian looked around the surrounding forest curiously without opening his mouth, from the corner of his eyes, Nik could see Brian's body getting tensed ever so slightly.
[This is our party chat. Now, listen. The moment the pressure around us subsides, get ready to retreat towards my left.
Understood? My left.]
Nik frowned subtly and sent back.
[Why? The last time, nothing happened.]
[It doesn't mean that this time would be the same. And remember, when it comes to choosing the factions, leave it to me. If we chose different factions, the result would be counterproductive.]
Nik frowned but still agreed.
[Alright.]
As the pressure vanished, Brian and Nik took to their left, much to the group's surprise while there was another small group that immediately shot backwards.
No words were spoken with anyone as Brian's and the other party's actions had already formed a feeling of distrust within the group.
Meanwhile, a quest window popped in front of Nik as they stopped after five minutes.
