Chapter 141 - Alluring Blood (2/2)
Penalty: Death]
As Nik looked at the screen, he found out how different it was from his previous adventure as he looked at Brian, who was still looking around with a cautious gaze.
”This isn't like what we experienced in the world of elements. Instead of simply choosing a faction, we must join it. This increases the difficulty relatively.”
Brian spoke after a few moments as his expression eased up slightly.
”We both know that you do not have the experience in travelling the other worlds, so I'll be teaching you a few important stuff along the way and also impart you a few skills that you would be needing.”
Brian smiled and continued, ”Of course, it would cost you your System Origin, but I can assure you that it will be worth it.”
Before Nik could speak up, Brian once again spoke up and pointed out.
”Remember, Nik, whenever we have to choose between humans and non-humans, always select on the beings that you feel are more intelligent than the other ones.
You should know that each travel is designed in such a manner that the system earns a profit out of every situation. So, to assure our profits, too, we must always look for various inheritances of the words we travel to.”
Nik opened his mouth but stayed silent after thinking for a bit.
”Now, before we select any faction, the first thing we must do is interact with a local being of the world. Whoever it may be.
And in this world, the locals probably comprise of ordinary humans, Demon Slayers and the Demons.”
”And with that.” Brian grinned, ”I will give you your first skill book.”

Raishan Village
Two figures in foreign clothes could be seen entering the village. Unlike the usual features of the citizens, the duo had sharper features and their burly bodies were well sculpted.
”That's why, Ceasar! We don't need to find Muzan! We already have the flower!”
The brunette spoke with irritation laced into his tone while the blonde one out of them simply snorted and shot back.
”Muzan's existence is a threat. If he actually gets to the flower and become invulnerable to the sun, there is no way we can defeat him anymore.
And Jojo! How long do you plan to waste your time? You are born with Hamon, at least practice the breathing technique to reach your full potential!”
The brunette named Jojo simply turned his head and heaved a deep sigh before proclaiming loudly.
”Ah! No use! Ceasar is no fun at all!”
As Ceasar opened his mouth to speak, they both suddenly frowned before returning normal.
”Ceasar?”
Jojo inquired in a whisper.
Meanwhile, the blonde nodded darkly.
”Yeah, this village is infested with a demon.”

Meanwhile, in a dark dungeon, a pale woman in a pitch-black kimono calmly regarded a wall with three muscular figures carved out.
Looking at the stone mask in her hands, the woman spoke softly.
”I was turned into the bloodthirsty demon due to doctor's thirst for power... he lives, and so do you three.
If I, Muzan, do not cut you all and drink your blood... then I am not the strongest demon known to humankind.”
The lady's pink pupils flashed violently before she gripped the stone mask and crushed it with a look of hatred flashing through her expression, marring her perfect face.

”Can you see that from [Life Vision]?”
Brian asked while picking the jug of booze as Nik nodded, his violet eyes flashing gently before a look of exhaustion appeared on his face.
”Yes, two strong humans appeared... probably for that demon. We finally move?”
Brian grinned and nodded.
In a few days, Brian had imparted things more than important information, but it cost Nik a lot. He barely had chump change left as most of his System Origin was used to but the three skills.
And just like Brian said, they were worth every single penny.
