A few minutes earlier

Kai watched as Devon ran into the forest an eager smirk was painted on his face. While he waiting he put on his red windbreaker and activated his [Mind's Eye] for a few seconds before deactivating it, thinking to himself that it would ruin the hunt if he saw everything that his prey was doing.

As he waited patiently, a few Eurasian owls were perched on a tree that was standing a few meters away from Kai. He felt it was weird that the owls could withstand his innate predatory aura without escaping. This caused him to develop a curiosity towards the owls, he had also remembered that they had been watching him earlier and this caused his curiosity to increase.

He walked toward the tree where the owls were perched upon and the closer he moved, the more he felt that they had a higher level of intelligence and were obviously not afraid of his second generation aura.

He stopped below the tree and then jumped up to the branch and grabbed the biggest owl. It screeched frantically causing Kai's brows to rise in surprise and amusement before slowly squeezing the owl's neck.

"Isn't an owl supposed to hoot, why are you screeching in such an unsightly manner? If you continue like this then I will kill you now. I don't care how you pretend to act, because if you continue your act you will die."

The owl changed its screeches to hoots the moment it heard Kai's threat. "You see now it sounds much better, let's get to business who sent you?"

The owl tried to communicate with Kai but didn't manage and tried to hoot frantically. It seemed like there was baring it from talking the human language. It tried its best but couldn't tell Kai. After trying with no avail its body suddenly expanded and transformed into a larger version of itself.

It then tried to escape by flapping its wings and pushing Kai away but he was prepared and continued to squeeze the owls neck before completely crushing it.

After that, he tore into the owl's body and started to devour its entire body raw. He ate the owl like a beast would with a ghastly appearance that had looked like there was no sentience in him, only bestial instincts.

After devouring the bird's body his sclera became dyed pitch black with his pupils becoming gloomy red orbs greatly resembling the blightfiend's. Around inside the orbs hellish flames were flickering in a slow hypnotic way.

In an underground basement

Sam watched Kai destroy his giant owl servants using his telepathic connection. He growled in anger because his carefully raised owls that could match up to a common vampire were shredded by Kai in seconds.

He had started to raise the owls when he was still a boy and now that the leading owl was killed by Kai, Jason felt much sadness and much more hate. If before he had merely disliked Kai because Penelope hated him, then now it was personal.

If before the murder of his owl then he had merely wanted to spy on Kai and report his actions to Penelope but before he could see any advantage he could report his specially raised and most intelligent owl was obliterated at Kai's hands.

"Kai we aren't finished, I'll get you soon!" He said while he punched his fist against the barrier reinforced walls.

In the forest

Kai's bloodlust had increased after the murder of the owl and fuelled the unsuppressible state that he currently was in. After counting the amount of time in his mind he got to 10 minutes and instantly started to track Devon's footsteps.

When he ran into the small cave where Devon had first dripped his blood he smelled the air and sighed before feeling the exhilaration of hunting down his prey.

After continuously finding Devon's blood spatters he finally found some blood that hadn't been absorbed by the earth or dried up and tasted it.

After tasting the blood, he instantly received the location that Devon was hiding in. All this took less than 10 seconds before Kai had already arrived behind Devon. As he stood behind him with his runic eyes glowing he decided to wait for him to leave the hole on his own before appearing.

If Devon had night vision, he would have been able to see the two eerie red orbs that were behind him but unfortunately for him, he didn't.

Kai waited for Devon to leave the cave and then when he did, he gave him a fright, enjoying the terror that was radiating from Devon. After Devon begged him to let him go but received no positive answer, he silently took out the tattered piece of paper and released the spell that was put inside it.

Kai withstood the spell's impact before continuing the chase, but as he had been injured his earlier hunting spirit had disappeared and he wanted to destroy the weakling that had managed to hurt him. He ran to Devon and pierced his heart and pulled it out letting blood spatter all over his face.

After grabbing his heart Kai ruthlessly crushed it before casting his favourite spell called [Blood Detonation]. Its name described exactly what it could do, meaning it would cause the intended target's blood to explode. However, there was bound to be some flaws in such an overpowered spell. The first downside of this spell was that he would only be able to cast it on targets with a weaker body than him.

But even with this downside, the spell was a godly one that would allow him to rule over the mortal world if he wanted to with the exception of a few of the stronger hidden figures in the world.

The spell worked by injecting his mind's eye into the target's body and then creating a link with his blood energy before stimulating the blood and thus causing it to detonate and then explode. The spell was less of a magical spell but more of an innate ability.

The second and most obvious downside was that Kai couldn't use the spell on bodies with no blood or no corporeal body like ghosts and the sort.

The reason that he didn't use the spell in the blood arena was that each of the monsters had either a body equal to his or stronger. If someone was to judge the battles in the arena the creatures' body were all roughly at the same level and the winner had to rely on technique instead of brute force. The reason that he could beat them was that he had created his own spells and slowly developed his own fighting techniques.

This was the spell that would result in Kai's title as well as his signature spell in the near future.

But back in the present Kai stared at the splattered blood and his mind started to become clearer. The mutated Runic eyes faded and returned back to normal while he thought to himself that he had lost control of himself.

There seemed to be many factors included that caused this occurrence. Kai tried to rationalize his thoughts and think of the reason, but first, he had to clean up and erase traces of him ever being there and return to his room.

After he returned to his room he laid on his bed and thought of the events that happened. It seemed that the first factor the caused him to lose control of his thoughts was his vampiric instincts. When he was in the arena he had to fully allow his instincts and bloodlust to teach him how to fight and had embraced them there.

But when he left the arena he had needed to restrain and lock his bloodlust and vampiric nature otherwise he would go on a rampage like he did now.

But the result was extremely miserable and it didn't help only two days later and he had lost control.

The second factor was the new vampiric bloodline it was clashing with his own somewhere deep in the blood orb and had caused him to subconsciously release some of his self-control and willpower resulting in his vampiric instincts being more overwhelming.

The third and final factor, as well as the main reason, was the many innate abilities that he had absorbed over the 3 years of the arena.

He had managed to absorb a total of two innate abilities in the end, but in reality, he had absorbed many more. But almost all of them had been swallowed up by the mutated ability he had gotten from the bone ridged rhinoceros. In the beginning, the ability had allowed him to cover himself in a toughened armour made from his own bones.

But after absorbing another ability from a different creature the original ability had absorbed the new ability and integrated it into the original giving the armour ability a new property. But the downside of the absorption was that the armour also absorbed the magical beast's strongest character trait.

So, every single ability absorbed had caused the ability to become extremely powerful, however, each time that he used the ability it would cause the accumulated character traits to be absorbed into Kai's mind and thus it would cause him to have to overcome it. While he was fighting, in the beginning, he didn't care as he desperately needed to overcome the many beasts that he was fighting against.

But ever since the armour had absorbed the traits from the stronger beasts they had merged with the ability and thus every time that Kai used the ability he would have to overcome much stronger wills than he previously had too. This had proven to be too challenging and Kai was forced to stop using the ability otherwise he would lose his original personality among the many traits.

The last ability he had absorbed was the spatial ability that Victor White had. But along with it, he had also gotten the strong desire to murder and slaughter.

And now it seemed that the inherent character traits that were absorbed by the ability were slowly affecting him in the real world.

Kai was afraid that if he activated the armour ability then all of the traits would merge with him instantly and he would lose himself and become a monster that had no intelligence.

Kai had told himself that he should never use the ability unless he was in a situation that he couldn't deal with and he would die. But he didn't know what to do about it now that the ability was showing signs of emerging in the real world.
