Royal blood

It was still night as Ryan and his group were still in the forest and Ryan could be seen sitting cross legged he seemed to be meditating while the rest were asleep.

Ryan seemed to being in pain as he was breathing heavily and sweating, Ryan was switching his blood for the royal blood due to what the woman had told him as he did not intend to wait for a long time before using the royal blood as it was a power he needed at the moment.

Lisha had woken up due to Ryan's grunting during the blood exchange as it was a painful process that he had to endure seeing him in this state Lisha felt worried but she does not disturb him as he may be in the middle of a serious meditation.

Meditation was commonly done by people who had to check their mana circulation to see it they had mana overload,Mana overload is the excess storage of mana in the body this happened if a person does not use his or her mana this usually happens to swordsmen or Knights who do not know how to use mana as it stores in the body until..... the person blows up.

Ryan had been in this state for about an hour now and still seemed to be in pain as Lisha was still worried looking at him.

Blood exchange was a painful experience that vampires that were used as royal knights were given they were treated as part of the family and when it was time for them to retire they have their blood sucked out dry as they die.

Ryan's breathing had calmed down a bit as he seemed to be in less pain gradually his face became peaceful as he then opened his eyes looking at Lisha but his head then falls on her lap as he seemed to be asleep after all the stress.

Opening his eyes Ryan felt weak as he then looked up finding Lisha's face as she seemed to have been brushing his hair with her hands he immediately raised his head up but immediately fell back reason being because of the recent blood exchange it seemed to have taken a toll on his body and would need more than some few hours or a day to get him back to full mode.

"uh how long have i been out?"he asked Lisha as she seemed to be looking into his beautiful red eyes "um i think maybe..... about an hour"she replied with a red face'hmmm an hour that is not much at all'raising his head he looked round"where are the rest of the group"Ryan asked with a puzzled face"oh they went with Layla to check the area some minutes ago"she replied realising that something must have happened to them,"we have to check up on them"Lisha replied while helping Ryan up as they both went through the forest.

Layla and the rest of the group were in a dire situation as around six shadow beast that were on all four had surrounded them and it seemed to surpass that of a super tier'i really do not know what my next move is'Layla thought.

"Wind barrier"she said as an invisible barrier was made'at least it should hold up until Ryan wakes up,ugh i can not believe i really am putting my fate in his hands'she thought as the beast attacked non-stop.

Ryan and Lisha seemed to have reached as they saw a group of people being ambushed by shadow beasts Lisha then ran off in the direction of those people as a shadow beast then leaped up to attack a sword then pierced through the head as it had flames all over the flames were not normal red as they were black as it seemed to be an elemental weapon,the beast then burst in flames, Lisha just stayed in place in amazement as he then moves forward to attack the remaining beasts but fighting the beasts seemed to be hard for Tigroran as Ryan's body at the moment was not fit to fight but he took his chances.

Using his sword which was normally a two handed sword but since Ryan only had the mana to create one he then slashed through the head of a beast as flame burst through the beasts head"bend down" Tigroran shouted as he then swinged the sword round as trees near by were cut down swiftly and sow were the beast but almost immediately black flames appears on both the trees and the beasts.

The sword on Tigroran's hand then disappears"woah he really gone and did it"Ryam said as he had just take control checking around him.

Going to check on the others as they seemed to have some injuries on their body,"hey are you okay"Ryan asked while looking towards Layla she was so confused as she looked back to check if someone was there she then pointed at her self as Ryan nodded'why is he being so nice'she thought.

The reason why Ryan was behaving like this was because he had seen her good side a lot of time it was just that he had never tried to flow with her.

They had let the others rest a bit before they continued moving as it was day when they began fighting.

When they had settled to rest after hours of walking the four group of young men asked Ryan to come check something as he then followed them a little far from the group then he was attempted to be kicked on the leg to the floor but with his condition he barely doged it"what do you want"Ryan asked as they did not seem to answer as they combined in slashing their weapons at him.

Leaping back he kicked one of them on the jaw while swiftly kicking one of them on the face but he soon seemed to have lost his balance as he fell down, taking this chance they held Ryan with all their might,one of them brought out their sword as they cut off his head.

After cutting his head up they seemed to be chatting amongst themselves on his strong he was and how to explain his death but soon head that fell off of Ryan was being grabbed by a blood like web as it had then attached back although Ryan could have form a new head he preferred to have it attached back it will be more easier to do so as he was currently weak.

Standing up Ryan then cut off the head of every single one of them he then raises his hands up a blood could be seen floating in the air and more was coming out of the dead bodies until they were completely dry.

Putting a specific amount of blood in his mouth as he needed it Ryan then used the remaining to create the exact same four people but they were naked as they then had to wear the cloth that were currently on the dead bodies,the clones seemed to be able to talk as Ryan did not even need to explain their roles as they had gotten it automatically as if it was birth.
