I Reincarnated As An Immortal Bat Into Another World

Chapter 35: - Blood Bender

"System, spill the secrets! I want all the details about using Hemokinesis. Don't you dare keep any hidden tricks from me!" Bong commanded, playfully shaking his wing finger at the System.

[ALERT]

[While Hemokinesis offers immense power, it also demands careful control. You must be wary of using your own blood, as it may weaken you or even lead to death if your HP reaches zero. The amount of blood manipulation you can perform depends on your current HP. Additionally, you can manipulate external sources of blood, which doesn't affect your HP but does require MP.]

"Woah, woah, hold up a bat minute! Using my own blood? That sounds like a recipe for disaster, and I'm not ready to turn myself into a bat smoothie. The whole 'manipulating other people's blood' thing sounds way cooler, and definitely less danger for me," Bong exclaimed with a chuckle, his wings flapping excitedly.

"Calling all monsters, reveal yourselves! Oh wait, I'm monster too, I guess I'll just find myself," Bong called out in a playful singsong manner, his wings fluttering as he flew around.

Bong transformed into a young human with matching clothes and felt quite excited. He planned to visit the Dungeon where he had met Charles earlier. This was his chance to use his mimic skill and interact with humans discreetly for the first time. With a grin, he set off on his adventure, eager to experience the world in this new form.

"Let us proceed and embrace this newfound experience. It signifies my first interaction with humankind, a realm of engagement that has remained unexplored since my arrival in this world, " Bong declared, his tone carrying a sense of maturity and purpose, resonating with intrigue and determination.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Dungeon gate, Bong observed a line of adventurers queuing up for entry. They were patiently awaiting their turn, and guards had been stationed at the entrance to ensure orderliness among those gathered outside the Dungeon.

"I find it quite fascinating that the current state includes such a well-organized structure and a vigilant guard presence. It appears that security improved since my previous visit, possibly influenced by my past actions," Bong remarked in a tone of mature contemplation, his words carrying an air of regal authority.

"It's interesting how even a small disruption to the noble sons can lead to positive changes in the society and uphold law and order," Bong chuckled, contemplating the complex dynamics of societal change.

"The encounter was remarkable, yet I regret not sealing his fate then. His interference caused setbacks in my level up, but our next meeting will mark his end," Bong declared with determination, his words carrying authority and resolve.

"But then again, I'm not beholden to human laws, so why should I conform to them? Oh dear me, I seem to be chattering away to myself. It's been quite some time since I've conversed in such a human manner," Bong mused with a hint of amusement at his own musings.

Bong chose not to follow the queue and instead chose to bypass it by effortlessly slipping past the guard. His body gradually transformed into darkness, a fluid transition akin to the blurring effect of a body morphing into shadow. In this inconspicuous form, he glided past the other adventurers, going completely unnoticed.

After covering some distance, he transitioned back from his shadowy form to his normal self. Throughout this transformation, no one had taken notice of his presence. Inside the dungeon, darkness prevailed, but a faint glow emanated from the mana crystals embedded in the ground, providing dim illumination.

Dungeon was in linear fashion, with many tunnels and every tunnels lead you to different monsters but you will kill all the monsters then only the final boss room will appear, killings him will destroy the whole Dungeon but still no one able to cleared out the Dungeon yet.

Within the dungeon, its inhabitants were not limited to monsters alone. The underground space also served as a source for mining mana ore, a valuable resource used in crafting diverse artifacts, weapons, armor, and other applications.

Consequently, dungeons played a crucial role in a territory's economy, contributing to a surge in economic prosperity for the region where dungeons spawn.

But it not like you can left the Dungeon alone without clearing it as every Dungeon have a limit of monster they can hold and inside the Dungeon, monster do reproduce and increase in number when the limit of holding them is over, then there will be a Dungeon break and chances will be monster attack the cities or village, so they need to clear it as soon as possible.

But it's not as if you can leave the Dungeon unattended without clearing it. Every Dungeon has a limit to the number of monsters it can hold. Inside the Dungeon, monsters reproduce and their numbers increase.

If this limit is surpassed, a Dungeon breach occurs, increasing the chances of monsters attacking nearby cities or villages. Therefore, it's essential to clear the Dungeon as soon as possible to prevent such occurrences.

Bong sought a secluded location to test his new Hemokinesis skill, but adventurers seemed to be everywhere. Therefore, he ventured deeper into the Dungeon, where higher-level monsters could be found. This was essential, as with increasing levels, one required more experience gained from high-level monsters to level up further.

As he delved deeper into the Dungeon, he encountered a familiar monster - one that had once invoked fear and made him cower in a corner. Memories of his early days in this world resurfaced, the time when he was first reincarnated into this world. It was an ogre, standing there in front of him. However, now a smile graced his face as he faced the monster again. With determination, he pointed his finger towards it.

"You, my friend, are a worthy opponent, perfect to test my newfound skill. Consider it an honor," Bong proclaimed with a sense of anticipation.

A confident smile illuminated his face as he utilized his shadow-teleportation to appear behind the ogre. In a seamless motion, he summoned a dagger forged from shadow and plunged it into the ogre's back with unyielding precision. The ogre, caught off guard, could hardly react as blood trickled from the fresh wound.

"Hemokinesis," he intoned with quiet determination, his hand tracing an arcane pattern in the air. The very essence of blood responded to his command, coalescing into a cluster of gleaming, ethereal blades. With a flick of his wrist, he directed the lethal constructs toward the ogre's wounded back, each blade a manifestation of blood.

The ethereal blades sliced through the air with a haunting grace, their crimson hue contrasting starkly against the dungeon's dim light. They struck the ogre's flesh with a thunderous impact, creating an intricate symphony of violence.

As the ogre's roars of pain filled the air, the once-intimidating creature crumbled to its knees, its strength waning, and ultimately, it died in the end.

Sitting in front of the fallen ogre, Bong poked his finger at the ogre's head.

"Dead already? Just like that? What a pathetic excuse for a monster you turned out to be," He taunted with a chuckle.

"But don't worry, my friend, even in death, you have value," he said before sinking his fangs into the ogre's neck, extracting every drop of blood from its body. Gradually, the ogre's form began to transform into dust, eventually dissipating entirely, leaving no trace behind.

[ALERT]

[LEVEL UP]

"Ah, just one level gained. I hunger for more, and more. The blood of an ogre is a dark elixir, more potent than that of mere orcs," He mused, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he wiped his mouth with his tongue, relishing the eerie satisfaction.
