Chat Group For Magicians

Chapter 183: Signs of Bloodlust

Ever since he has known me after our chat in the sub chat, he has been in a hostile mode that I can't ignore anymore. He has been giving the bad vibe from the very start even when we have not met personally but now, he is still doing it. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at him in confusion. However, I decided not to voice out things. If his purpose is to make sure that he is superior compared to me, I am not caring about that stuff. It would be better if I just go and stay silent about it.

"Yami, this is no time to bicker with anyone," Ishana said.

"Tch, suit yourself," Yami grumbled and went somewhere.

Ishana sighed and shook her head in annoyance before she looked at me with an apologetic look on her face. "I am sorry for the behavior of Yami. I don't know what is going on in his head for him to behave like that."

"Don't worry about it. More importantly, we have to rest for now or we will be dead tired for tomorrow."

...

The villagers were grateful for our help in getting rid of the ogres and saving the village so they gave us a place to sleep and food for dinner. The language of the people in this world is different so we used the Translator Magic that we learned before going here so that we can understand what the people in this world is saying and we can also translate our language to their language. Not only that, our ability to write and read will also be affected so it will not be a problem for us in the future.

Since we will not be staying for long, we decided to accept the hospitality of the villagers. Some of the villagers asked us where are we from and we decided to use the script of Takuya that he made for us to use in case these people asked where we are from. It was surprisingly effective.

We managed to get a hold of a conversation with the village chief who was injured during the ogre invasion and blinded his left eye. We asked for any signs of new people appearing on the village these past few days but he said that there is no one sign of them aside from us which nailed our point that these people who got transported to this world are all not transported in the same place.

After getting our bearings and our temporary lodging for the night, the two went to sleep due to the exhaustion they felt after the day's events. On the other hand, I am still awake. For some reason, sleeping in this world felt a bit weird and I am not too comfortable doing so.

"Having trouble sleeping?" Blue's voice vibrated on my phone.

"Blue? This is the first time you used the phone as the source of your voice. You usually use my mind to say things to me."

"I can do it but I should use your phone, for now, to test it if the phone still works here in this world."

"Oh, that's right. I wonder if I can still browse the chat group even if I was situated here in another world."

"I just checked it and the phone still works properly and can still browse the chat group and other internet services without any problem."

"What? Seriously, I can still connect to the internet without any problems? Is this phone part of those rumored black technology thingie?"

"Huh? Don't be ridiculous, black technology things are beyond human reach, this phone is just one of the normal phones, with the only difference in my presence. You should be glad that I am here to allow that privilege to you alone and you can use the phone for your exploits here in another world."

"You want me to make a name in this world? Nah, that is not my thing. I will leave that to the hands of those destined to do so and not on someone who just barged to this world uninvited."

"Oh? You don't want to get some glory in this world and mark your name here to be remembered by the people?"

"Ha, there is no benefit in doing those things. I am more inclined on doing things my way and doing it incognito rather than spreading my name for fame. If that is a request, I will respectfully decline," I shook my head.

"Wow, I never expected to hear than on you. You have matured after a short time."

"Anyway, enough of maturation. I still can't find any way for me to sleep properly in this foreign world. Is there any way for me to properly take a rest?"

"Did you forgot Kazuma? As you get more advance in your magic spells and magic training, sleeping will no longer be part of your routine as the mana will just cleanse off your fatigue and any kind of benefit you will get from sleeping will be gained normally as your mana goes strong. What you are experiencing is the same as that. Due to your exploits inside the Tower of Babel, it is showing off changes in your body, and the small stats you gain every time you grind in the tower and managed to save them in the checkpoint terminal is now showing physical changes to your body."

That's right. She has indeed mentioned that before but since I only felt that slightly, I have already forgotten about it. Now that the effects are manifesting, I was reminded of it by Blue and everything makes sense on why I can't sleep and my body is still refreshed despite not sleeping. I thought I developed insomnia or something.

"Maybe you should go out and smell the fresh air of the nighttime in this other world. It is much more fresh and refreshing to feel the air here than the air of the city isn't it?"

"Ha... That is now the case, I think I have to do just that. Forcing myself to sleep will just make me frustrated so I will just use this extra time to go outside and feel the air."

I stood up from my bed and went outside. The villagers are no longer to be seen and the other villagers who lost their houses after the attack merged with the other families with intact houses and went to rest in there. The lights of the houses are already extinguished so there are no longer signs that anyone is still awake at this time of the hour.

Strolling around the village, it felt different when strolling in the streets of Tokyo at night. Even though it is nighttime, there are still many things happening which makes matters much livelier compared to here.

Just when I am enjoying my nighttime stroll, I felt a bloodlust not too far from my location. It is too heavy that I don't think I can ignore this.

"Reveal what my eyes can't see! [Insight!]"

My eyes glowed a little bit and my sight of the surroundings became clearer to me. Just like Mana Scan, the whole layout of the surroundings is revealed in my eyes. What is revealed to me is another troublesome matter. Several indicators appear that there are many creatures camped up on the northern side of the village. It doesn't appear to be human based on the silhouettes that my eyes can grasp just by looking and they emit severe bloodlust that I usually feel against demons and beings corrupted by the darkness.

Are they demonic beings?

Seeing these, I no longer have a choice but to make an action, or else, things will go chaotic again. I am not too confident I can handle them all, all by myself but that doesn't mean I will go down without a fight and let the village get attacked again. Yami and Ishana are still both sleeping so there is no point for me waiting for their backup. I will just have to do this without anyone's help. This way, I can grasp a good way to fight properly and use my knowledge that I acquired during the battles in the Tower of Babel and use them to my advantage.

"[Leg Enhancement], [Legs of Haste!]"

After all the buffs I applied to my legs, I dashed, allowing me to move forward in great speed and far distance. The long road is just a few dashes for me, which helped a lot in covering lots of grounds to reach the area I am looking on.

As my legs carry me deeper and deeper into the forest, the bloodlust is also getting stronger and stronger, causing my entire being to shake a little bit from the effects of bloodlust. As they say, the more a person is exposed to bloodlust, they will also be affected by it and will not be able to control what they will be about to do even if they wanted to, once they are affected too much by the bloodlust. You can say that it is a forced berserk activation.

The moment I am a few meters from my destination, I smell the corruption and the smell of stink in the distance. I can't be wrong about this, this is the smell of demonic beings.
