Chapter 351: Blood Spirit Return
It's been a while since I arrived at the skull island, and I haven't done what I came here to do in the first place.
"Mimi~"
"Yes, master."
"Where are those things in your possession?"
"Huh… Do you mean the wild ostrich eggs?"
"Yeah," I answered in a low voice.
"What do you want to use that to do?" Mimi asks as she hands me a large purple egg.
I collect the egg and look at it for a while before speaking up. "Where are the rest?"
"Master~" Mimi mutters with a pouty mouth as she hands me additional two ostrich eggs.
I look at her eyes and see sadness as if…
"Do you want to eat the eggs or something?" I ask with a sigh, noticing Mimi's strange behavior. I return the eggs to her.
Mimi nods her head.
"When I was still a goddess, I loved eating eggs. Especially wild ostrich eggs. I loved them so much," Mimi explains putting away the ostrich eggs in her inventory.
"Wait… Aren't you a fairy? You are supposed to be eating tree branches, fruits, and insects."
"Fufu, I think you are mistaking me for an elf. But you're also right, fairies eat fruits. However, I am an exception, I love eating meat and eggs. They usually call me a weirdo and outcast then in our tribe because meat is supposed to taste awful for fairies. Besides that, we were supposed to protect the wildlife.
To cut the story short, after all the wild boar almost went extinct in our region, I was kicked out from the tribe and called a monster because I loved meat." Mimi explains, looking at the sky before letting out a sigh.
"Wow, that was one harsh life you lived. But if I may ask, what type of god were you and how did you ascend godhood?"
Mimi looks at me before letting out a sheepish smile.
"I was the god of Brutality. I ascended godhood after consuming several deity-rank beasts." Mimi grins.
Hearing her words, a barrage of blurry images comes to my head, causing me to grab my head in pain and look at Mimi once again.
"God of Brutality…" I mutter. "You don't even look like one. I fought with the god of Brutality once in my past life and killed him. That made you ascend his aspect. I have to admit though he was one hell of a nightmare that gave me a tough time. We fought for a week straight on a dwarf planet.
At the end of the battle, the planet exploded." I demonstrate, moving my hands to describe the way I killed the god.
I take a look at Mimi and shake my head.
"You don't look like you deserved the aspect, I see why you were hated by the other gods."
"Fufu, looks can be deceiving master. Why do you think you have the ability to copy other people's abilities? It was originally my ability called beast assimilation before I ascended godhood. I gained the ability of any beast I consumed. I got greedy and continued to hunt high-tier beasts.
When I ascended godhood, my ability upgraded to a point where all I had to do was touch someone and copy their ability. The name of my ability changed to "copy". I was the dog and sword of the higher-ups gods and they even claimed that I was stronger than my predecessor. However, the pussies became wary of me when my powers started growing exponentially.
They feared I would barbecue them someday, so they plotted against me for treachery."
"Haha, you didn't stop eating even when you became a god. You must be one hell of horror for the gods."
"Well… I have to admit I caused my downfall because of my greediness. I usually ate the gods that were executed for treason or other crime-related and got their aspects. Though their aspects usually return to them when they reincarnate."
"Okay, now I don't blame the other gods for hating you. I hope you don't eat me too someday," I say jokingly.
"Master, why is it that if you kill gods, they won't be able to reincarnate again?"
"Because I'm the protoss. My role is to put the gods in check. But they hate me because I'm above them. And they can't stand my race due to our blood-sucking tendencies."
"I see… What have you been drawing since master?"
Hearing Mimi's question again, I take a break and look at her.
"Will you just let me concentrate, Mimi? By the way, I want to perform a ritual to summon my familiar, that's why I am drawing these runes. You didn't let me use the eggs after all," I answer, connecting a line to another line of intricately drawn lines on the ground.
"Done."
I say as I get up and stretch my back.
"Waaah. I never knew my master was a rune Master!"
"I kinda got the memory somehow. I guess it's my past knowledge."
The next moment, I make a big cut on my index finger, pouring blood onto the runes I drew. The blood begins to move on its own, circulating every nook and cranny of the runes.
Subsequently, red bubbles begin to rise from the runes as if boiling.
Suddenly, the runes light up in bright red, and the burst of light shoots into the sky without stopping.
I even cover my face as the lights disrupt my eyesight. After a while, the light starts to dim, and within the pillar of light, a small figure begins forming within it.
Seeing the figure forming, a smile creeps up on my face.
"He is here!"
"He looks a bit different from the day I saw him," Mimi mutters.
Slowly, the light pillars diminished before disappearing, leaving a deep scorch where the runes were drawn.
"Master, as expected of you. You reached the lord stage in a few weeks." A blood-red figure with white eyes that looks like something that came from hell says.
