Book 1: Chapter 64: A Lecture Part I

Scarlet

I cant help but skip along the floor into the hallway while whistling very quietly, happy to have finally ditched that creepy Guardian lady, Alex. And not only did I manage to do that, but I also got back at her for stalking me! And gave the kid over to her as well.

Did you give up on trying to stop calling him a kid? I hear Tars voice resound in my head as I slow down and stop whistling, focusing on the demons on the floor.

Maybe.

Judging by the sounds of it, the other party started clearing out floors of demons from the thirty-fifth floor and on. But they did clear out two floors before that. Floors twenty nine and thirty two. Strictly because there were people on them outside of the bunkers that needed saving.

I cant help but grin at the thought of having the remaining eight floors to myself, without a single human being on them to interrupt my hunt.

Your instincts as a blood lycan really are powerful, arent they I hear Tar mutter seemingly more to himself than to me.

Ignoring the tanuki, I walk into a room before locking the door and sitting on the closest bed while opening my status. Then I quickly allocate my free points before leveling up Blood Thirst once to level 5, using up 11 SP in the process.

[Skill Blood Thirst has leveled up to level 5.]

Now to see the difference.

Are other demons able to identify me? Since Im clearly able to identify them.

The tanuki blinks at me before answering, Yes and no. Remember when I said you cant identify something that is the same species as you? I nod my head. Well, technically a demon isnt the same species as you. A blood lycan is. Meaning you can identify any creature that isnt a blood lycan, and any demon that isnt a blood lycan can identify you.

My eyes widen in shock at that, and I begin to sit up, only for him to quickly add, But dont worry! The System isnt designed to handle identifications of a hybrid, so whenever a demon that isnt a blood lycan tries identifying you, all they will get is your human side!

I stare at him, half sitting up as he clings onto my jackets collar so as to not fall off. Then, after a few seconds, I lower myself back down onto the bed again with a sigh.

Shouldve started out with that.

Its your fault for not asking the right questions in the right order, Tar mutters, making me lift my head to stare at him. But he just goes silent, so I lie my head back down on the pillow again.

I unconsciously reach up to pet the furball this being the only reason I let him use me as a bed before muttering, So I have to be cautious if I ever get stuck in a Class V Fracture?

The tanuki nods his head, Indeed. Because a blood lycan will be able to tell somethings up just from trying and failing to identify you. And thats only if it wasnt stupid enough to recognize the ears on your head and your eyes.

Ears? Eyes?

Blood lycans have a unique tail, along with unique eyes and ears. They are one of the only shapeshifting creature that has some of their beast features shown in their humanoid form, and the only one with some human features in their beast form. Such as their humanoid shape when transformed into their other form, Tar explains, making my eyes widen again. Putting aside the exact abilities and biology of a blood lycan, their eyes are special in that they have very little, sometimes even no black pupil in the blood red of their eyes. And their eyes are able to track whatever they deem their prey through walls for dozens of meters. Although they are only able to designate one creature as their prey at a time. Also, their tails are not made out of flesh and are instead made of pure blood solidified into metal by magic.

I cant help but focus on his words as he speaks. Because exact information on Class V demons is generally difficult to find. And the spirits from what Ive heard are rather tight lipped about it. So this may be my only chance to learn more about blood lycans.L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
