Inside the crimson dome, the world was no longer real.
Everything was red.
The air tasted like blood.
Even breathing felt like swallowing needles.
Hunters trapped inside the dome screamed and clawed at the invisible walls, but the dome didn't move.
It didn't need to.
Because the dome wasn't meant to keep people inside.
It was meant to turn them into fuel.
The Cult Priest stood calmly at the center.
His crimson eye altar spun behind him like a god's pupil.
His voice echoed through the red air:
"You are in my blood domain."
"Your body will slow."
"Your power will rot."
"Your blood will obey me."
He lifted a finger.
The cult mark on Arjun's chest burned again.
Arjun's muscles stiffened.
His breath stopped for half a second.
His veins felt like they were being squeezed shut.
The priest smiled.
"Kneel."
Arjun didn't kneel.
He clenched his fist.
His bones hummed violently.
🦴 Bone King Bloodline — Resonance Overdrive
He took one step forward.
The priest's eyes narrowed.
Arjun's voice was calm.
"You think this is control?"
He took another step.
Blood pressure crushed his ribs.
But Arjun didn't care.
His Devouring Body was already active, chewing the blood domain slowly.
The priest frowned.
"You're resisting…"
Arjun smiled.
"I'm adapting."
Then Arjun raised his sword.
⚫ VOID-CUT vibrated like a hungry demon.
The priest laughed.
"Cutting air won't save you."
Arjun whispered:
"I'm not cutting air."
He swung.
⚫ VOID-CUT — DOMAIN SLICE
The black slash tore across the crimson dome.
For the first time…
the blood domain trembled.
A long crack appeared in the air like reality bleeding.
The crowd outside gasped.
Because the dome flickered.
Someone screamed from the stands:
"HE CRACKED THE DOMAIN!"
The priest's smile disappeared instantly.
He raised both hands.
🩸👁️ BLOOD DOMAIN REINFORCEMENT
The crack began sealing.
But Arjun was already moving.
✨ SHADOW STEP (Weakened)
He blinked forward.
Not far.
Not perfect.
But enough.
He reached the priest.
His palm slammed onto the priest's chest.
🩸 TRUE DEVOURING BODY — DRAIN
The priest hissed and pushed Arjun back with a wave of blood pressure.
Arjun slid across the sand, boots carving lines.
His chest burned.
His blood tried to freeze again.
The priest's eyes were cold now.
No more polite tone.
"You want to eat me?"
He pointed at the ground.
Blood symbols lit up around Arjun.
🩸 BLOOD DOMAIN LAW: BONE MELT
The sand beneath Arjun turned crimson.
His bones vibrated with pain.
It felt like his skeleton was being softened from inside.
Arjun's eyes widened slightly.
This technique was disgusting.
It wasn't trying to kill him quickly.
It was trying to turn him into meat.
The priest stepped closer, voice low.
"Kneel."
Arjun's knees trembled.
Not from fear.
From biology itself resisting destruction.
But then Arjun smiled.
Slow.
Cold.
"I've already lost everything."
"So your tricks mean nothing."
He slammed his fist into his own chest.
BAM!!
Blood spilled from his mouth.
But the cult mark flickered.
The blood domain law stuttered for one heartbeat.
And that heartbeat…
was enough.
Arjun whispered:
"System."
The System flashed.
🔊 [DEVOURING BODY: threshold reached]
✅ Condition met: sustained domain pressure + continuous devour
✅ New evolution available: Devourer Domain (Temporary)
⚠️ Cost: massive energy + soul strain
Activate?
(YES/NO)
Arjun didn't hesitate.
"YES."
The moment he answered—
the red world shook.
The blood dome trembled.
The priest's eyes widened.
"What—?!"
Arjun's body released a pulse.
Not an aura.
Not killing intent.
A domain of hunger.
🩸🕳️ DEVOURER DOMAIN (TEMPORARY) — AWAKENED
The air darkened.
The crimson dome didn't disappear.
But it changed.
It felt like a second domain layered on top.
A parasite inside the priest's world.
A sickness in his blood.
Everything the priest controlled—
Arjun began to eat.
The blood in the air turned heavier.
Then thinner.
Then began flowing toward Arjun like rivers returning to the sea.
Hunters trapped inside screamed.
Because their blood started boiling.
Not from heat.
From panic.
From the domain clash.
Some hunters dropped dead instantly, unable to handle the pressure of two domains crushing them.
The priest staggered back.
His altar projection flickered.
"No…"
"This is impossible!"
Arjun stepped forward.
His eyes were no longer normal.
They weren't red.
They weren't black.
They looked empty…
like a hole.
A hole that swallowed everything.
Arjun's voice echoed through the domain like a curse:
"This is my world now."
The priest roared.
"You're inside MY domain!"
Arjun smiled.
"And your domain…"
"…is inside my stomach."
Then Arjun raised his palm.
🩸 TRUE DEVOURING BODY + DEVOURER DOMAIN — CORE CONSUMPTION
The priest's altar behind him began cracking.
Cracks spread across the crimson eye.
The priest screamed.
"STOP!!"
Arjun didn't stop.
Because Arjun didn't know how to stop.
Not anymore.
The blood domain began collapsing from within.
The crimson dome trembled violently.
Outside, the crowd panicked.
"What's happening?!"
"THE DOME IS COLLAPSING!"
"RUN!!"
Mako, the Arena Master, screamed in horror:
"THIS WASN'T THE PLAN!!"
The priest stumbled, blood pouring from his mouth.
His body trembled.
His authority was being eaten alive.
He looked at Arjun, fear finally showing.
"You… you're not a weapon…"
"You're a disaster…"
Arjun stepped closer.
"And you're food."
