Rise Of The Sabbath [Lagi/Training/Solo]

After the dungeon, Lagi was starting to get a little more used to the abilities that he had as a vampire. He couldn't make sense of this new feeling that gradually made him a different person every day. Lagi felt stronger, faster, and a bit more ruthless. His taste buds changed as well, the crimson liquor that leaked from the warm bodies of others became an intoxicating aroma unlike no other. He wanted to explore a little bit more about how this feeling made him stronger, with the sucking sounds of Lagi indulging himself in the blood of others being the echoing rhapsody of terror once the night has fallen.

It was also notable that the sun has become "unagreeable to Lagi", he was more fond of being around when it wasn't and it definitely put a damper on things. If he was to return to heliohapt, he was going to need quite the escort in order to protect him from the rays of the light. But there were good things that came from this, Lagi received a new power in the form of blood magic! It was almost related to instinct as to how skilled Lagi was, he knew that he could do it and the ability to use blood magic also came from draining the blood of others. Knowing that this was also a new way to feed, it became a new way to fight and survive.

"This is wonderful, but I can do even more with this."

Lagi spent quite some time training up with his newfound abilities involving blood magic, but hi most powerful techniques involved extending a bloody tendril and hardening that blood to make somewhat of a crimson crescent moon. Lagi could measure the terms in power due to the idea of how much blood that he had committed to the ability, and he knew for some reason that this particular act demanded the most of him. With the performance of Bloody Honeymoon, Lagi was working on the rotation speed of the blade and the extended reach. With how it was looking, it seemed as if there was some kind of hard to see red blur that was circling around him, with the fact that Lagi could also increase the amount of pivoting scythes at his disposal in order to use and manipulate to his leisure. But for the time being, Lagi felt a little hungry as the night started to progress.

"Time for a snack..."


Lagi said this as he changed into his lord form and ventured into the night.

As lagi chased behind the woman with each approaching step, she felt powerless to stand against him.

"Who are you?!! What do you want?!!"

She had a bad feeling about him, even more than any sort of another depraved individual she met. Nothing she did to resist Lagi was working, and pretty soon, she was met with a bite that was rather satisfying for Lagi himself.

"Ahh, a virgin..."

Each person's diet and lifestyles had a different taste, that was something that Lagi was starting to explore. However, he was curious about the tasted and ended up biting her for a second time. Unfortunately, he realized a little too late that he was taking too much blood. The sound of her heart lowered slowly as Lagi observed with his danger sense before it came to an immediate stop.

"Dead?"

Leaving her on the floor, Lagi started to walk away. However, the woman started to rise up once more, which shocked the Vampire Lord.

"W-what...... have I done...did i?"

With the realization that there was much more to gain with his new transformation, Lagi looked on as the woman that he supposedly killed started to rise up again. It definitely seemed that she was confused herself, but she didn't run away when she saw Lagi. Whatever he did to her, it seemed to also spurn some kind of loyalty or understanding that they were more of the same kind. Lagi felt it as well, and he smiled as he dropped his guise, even dropping his mask as well. He wanted her to see him for who he truly was, bending down to help her up.

"How do you feel?"

She craned her neck as she rubbed the part that Lagi recently bit, the kiss of death has led to her transformation and caused her to turn into a different version of the creature she recently saw.  She felt parched, licking her lips intensely as she looked at the other bodies that laid around them. Apparently, they were the only ones that didn't get a second bite from Lagi, could that have been the reason?

"Hungry....."

Looking up at her, Lagi would close his eyes and nod.

"I think there is still some blood inside of them, maybe they are still alive too? I'll show you then, how to survive, this is officially your first eternal night.  "

It was like teaching a child how to crawl before they can walk on their own, something that Lagi enjoyed.

With that being said, Lagi was starting to understand more and more of the newfound power that he gained from being a vampire lord. This time, it was the wonderful fact that he can make even more of himself. Could they live for an extended period of time as well as he could? Could they use blood magic as well.

As a matter of fact, they could summon the power of blood magic in order to utilize it for their attacks and whatnot. In addition to that, Lagi had someone that he could teach his blood magic to, someone that can fully understand and comprehend the abilities that they have been blessed with upon becoming vampires. With the exercise of expressing his abilities and using them fully, Lagi started to turn others into vampires as well. There were dark hand members that seemed even more loyal to Lagi himself than the state of the dark hand, those who followed and worked with him closely for a long time. The promise of immortality was the ultimate payment of servitude, and even they, risking their lives in the face of the theory of it not being a fluke, received the kiss and changed into vampires as well.  There were others as well, but Lagi left them unchanged for a reason.

The sun was still something that appeared to be a challenge, such a thing prompted Lagi to train harder in the event that he would be attacked in the daytime if those wised up about it.

With the extensive training of the bloody honeymoon technique, Lagi started to set up an arrangement of some kind. He was planning his bold move of taking over the entire trading district of the Kou section by making a deal with them that could be worth more than what they could offer. Since that was the case, it was better for Lagi to wait and see what could happen in the event that they would resist him. But even if they did, it would be to no avail.

The night of the meeting came along, with Requiem Jinx entering the complex with his mask in place. Those who were regarded with the trading facility, regardless of what it was (weapons/Goods/Slaves), all attended in order to see what  Requiem jynx had to offer. It was a pretty big complex and it was unnatural for they all to be called in the same place at once. Once everyone gathered, Lagi walked into the main hall and sat down.

"So, let's cut to the chase, I have a pretty new deal that everyone is going to enjoy. How would you all like to live forever? No need to sweat the details as of yet, but literally living forever, how does that sound to you."

There were a few hushed tones, but someone spoke out with the thought of thinking of it as impossible to do and downright foolish.

"The heck are you saying? Something like that can't be done by the likes of a mere drug dealer!"

Laughing to himself, Lagi walked towards the man and craned his neck. The black veins from the requiem jynx mask pulsated as Lagi stared them down.  "I know you all brought your security detail in the next room, I had them wait outside the renovated halls. All swords for hire, right?"  Dropping all of his weapons and items of some sort for his dark hand members to collect, Lagi went on over there to meet with the ruthless sellswords.

"Without any sort of weapons or anything at all, I'll defeat them with the same power that grants me immortality in the first place, would that make you all believers then? One man against sellswords that can comprise of the one fifth of the kou army? If such a man existed, can he do it without magical weapons or tools?"

Lagi let them ponder that as he walked into the room and closed the door, giving them all an announcement that would soon be the last things they would here.

"Everyone, unfortunately, you'll all would have to die here today. " For a warrior, the bloodlust was apparent, they stook to their guns as they all charged at Lagi.

"How foolish..."

Using bloody honeymoon,  the crescent moon tendrils all came out and sliced and diced around 40 meters from Lagi, it was essentially a death zone of A tier hardened blood blades that cut through each and everybody, exploding the room into a bloodbath that covered the walls and exterior. The force of the blow itself cut off the wall that separated the two groups, with it area crumbling and giving a notice to what befell the sellswords.

They were all experimented.

"This is power, and it can be yours. All you have to do is follow me, forever is a long time to go through, but this world will only exist as our playground as long as we all stick together. "

Believe it or not, it worked for the most part. People accepted, and those declined ended up being food for the people who accepted. With the gift of immortality, the immortal merchants and royals of Kou began to rise as well, all the way up to the pinnacle of the Kou status quo of importance. They were all in this together, seeing humans differently now. Seeing everyone and everything else differently now. With that, Lagi gained the financial backing of the immortal merchants of Kou, along with his own sales bolstering and being pushed out.  With everything being legal and those being distracted by the war, Lagi took hold of the training sect of the Kou empire and created a funnel of wealth that he could draw from.

All of it was to prepare for Heliohapt, all of it!
