They started laughing, then their eyes glowed. One of them snapped another's man's heart and ate it. Everyone in the cave felt terrified and afraid of the horror of the scene. One of the knights advanced towards them, trying to calm them down and talk to them, but one of them attacked him with a sword; he split his head into two halves. At that moment, all the men surrounded them and attacked them. They were strong; they were digging the foundations of the armored bodies, their grippers.
I got into a fight with someone, but I knew the rule. I cut my hand and covered the sword with blood. I started attacking him, but I caused him wounds on his hands; he knew that if I attacked his heart, I would kill him.
He landed punches that almost tore my intestines out, if only the copper shield had been what slowed his attack. When he knew that it couldn't penetrate my body, he started to evade the fight, but I chased him and started attacking him with the sword and wounding him, and he responded with blows to the body. Then he landed a punch to my face that opened a wound under my eye, so I grabbed the sword and swung it forcefully until I cut off his hand. He started screaming, and at that moment, I cut off his other hand; then I crushed the sword and plunged the sword into his heart.
The rest of the men were suffering because those monsters were regenerating, and they did not know the trick of blood, so I shouted with all my strength and then I said, "Draw your swords and weapons in your blood." Then, after that, I heard a voice in my head saying, "We will meet, we will meet." But I did not have any interest, so I pulled my sword from the corpse, and then I finished fighting.
While I was fighting, a deroloc suddenly surprised me and attacked me from behind, from the weak area of the shield, so he pierced my body until his hand came out in front of me. I felt severe pain and started coughing up blood. He pulled his hand away and tried to do it again, but one of the knights intervened and cut him off with his hand. As for me, I looked at the hole in my body, which appeared big enough to kill anyone, but it was being renewed. I could not believe what was happening; I thought I was going to die.
So I decided to use the power of blood for the first time in this place because it was clear that we were losing. Most of the men were dead, so I started firing the blood notebooks, compressed blood balls, towards those monsters, creating holes in them, while I attacked others with the sword. I started stabbing and cutting them. I also brought the authority until we were finished, and with the men who were doing the duty, we finished them until the last one of them.
After this devastating battle, The men started looking at me with a look of surprise and fear at the same time, as if they did not trust him. Yes, I do not blame him or them because they saw strange and scary things, but I convinced them after a long dialogue that I was one of them and that I would not harm them. I started explaining to them what happened to me and my relationship with these creatures and why I wanted to translate the book and everything that happened to him, but they did not believe me 100% because it seemed impossible. However, even if they believed me just a little, this would help. Only 10 men remained, out of the original 90, including me. We sat down to rest there, surrounded by blood and corpses. While I was sitting, I felt cold, so I took a garment from one of the corpses. While I was taking it off, I accidentally touched it. Suddenly, a shape made of blood appeared, resembling the corpse. When the time came, he bowed and said, "I am at your service, my lord."
I looked at him and said, "Who are you?" A look of surprise appeared on my face. He replied, "I am following you, sir. I am one of the blood monsters. I possess the skills of this dead person. I am from his blood." He said it while his head was still bowed down. Suddenly, he completely transformed into a corpse form, an exact copy of the dead person.
This sounds excellent, I said it with a smile; then I continued, but how did I get out? I didn't do anything, I didn't perform any rituals or reply to him if I touched the body this calls us, so I looked at the other bodies; then I asked him, can I try? He said you are the one who controls the decision, my master, not me. So I looked at the other men, who seemed shocked and could not believe what was happening; then I went and started touching the bodies lying on the ground; blood monsters started to rise one after the other, filling the cave with a number like the number we lost.
A large army of these things had been formed, so I asked them how I could hide and summon them. They answered that they would hide in his blood in the form of red blood cells, and that at any moment I wanted to summon them, I only had to extract a little blood.
I hid them, and then the remaining nine men and I set off across the empty, icy lands that showed no sign of life. After many steps, we arrived at a place that looked more like a small hotel than a small town.
The place was old and worn. There were only a few wooden houses covered in snow. I went to the first house alone, while the remaining band members each went to a different place to search. I stood in front of the door and started knocking, but no one liked me, so I opened the door forcefully. I was surprised by a very bad smell from there. When I entered, I found blood there. I smelled it, even though it was difficult to see because of the darkness, but I smelled the scent of blood. When I delved deeper into the place, I found it was bodies of people from the knights that I sent; I know them because of their armor.
