Chapter 90. Fighting festival
Rei was walking back to the group when he suddenly slapped himself on the forehead.
'How did I forget about the true tremor fruit! Although I can't make the vibrations and tremor appear away from my body I can at least use it on the sword to lessen the mana drain as well as amplify the amount of slashes being made. When I awaken the fruit I should be able to create vibrations in the area around me.' Rei thought when he covered his finger in a small coating of white before tracing out his katana and gave it a gentle flick. The katana suddenly started to shake at a dangerous level when it suddenly exploded into shards. Rei quickly created a small space around the sword to keep the damage minimal.
'Hmmm, the true tremor fruit is slightly overkill, but it sends out the waves/vibrations at a faster rate and covers more area at the cost of the sword's destruction.' Rei thought holding the broken katana.
'Until I've awakened my fruit I should increase the control of it so I don't break my swords.' Rei thought as he untraced the katana.
"Rei what was that?" Escanor asked with curiosity.
"It's my newly made magic Escanor nii san. It allows for me to instantly attack anyone as long as there are particles around them. Each particle represents a slash and just on a finger are several million to trillions." Rei said lifting a finger.
"Hou~And you just made that magic now? Impressive." Escanor said smiling at Rei.
Rei only grinned as they returned to Gerheade and Jericho. Rei saw that Ban and Elaine still haven't walked out of the room yet so they waited for a little while. A few hours passed when The duo walked out with Elaine wearing a make shift dress and blushing madly. Ban only had a grin as he sent a thumbs up to Rei thanking him for the room.
"I'll erase the evidence don't worry." Rei said as he collapsed the space turning everything inside to dust leaving a square shaped hole in the vault.
Everyone sat down to rest for a while to regain some stamina. Gerheade eventually got some guts to talk to Elaine about what she did to Ban. To her surprise, Elaine forgave her causing her to tear up emotionally.
On the other hand, Rei started to tell the story of him being in purgatory to Escanor and Ban who only laughed when they found out that basically Rei cooked his way out from purgatory.
"Oh yeah Ban nii san, I should tell you some of the abilities that my vampire bloodline gives. First you already know, true immortality. Unless she wills it, she can't be killed. Blood control, which you've seen me do. Mist transformation is this." Rei said turning his entire body to mist.
"In this you can't be touched at all except for a few exceptions." Rei's voice rang out as he rematerialized himself.
"True transformation, this turns your entire body, bones and muscle to the form you want. Different gender, race and even beasts." Rei said turning his body into Elizabeth's then to a giant Diane's and finally Hawk's before turning back to himself.
"This takes a lot of mana since you change your whole body structure and I can only do this right now because of my control and mana reserves." Rei explained.
"Also my bloodline has no weakness against the sun so she can be out in the day if she wants to." Rei continued as each ability only served to make everyone's jaw drop even more.
"Isn't that too much of a cheat!!" Jericho shouted out as she couldn't believe such a bloodline was possible.
"Well I like to call it #lifehack." Rei said with a grin and spread his arms out. The sun set not too long after and Esanor was back to his weak form.
Sneezing a little, Esanor looked around and saw his vault being complete non existent.
"MY WINE!!!!!!" Escanor shouted as he fainted from the shock. The rest of the group only blinked slightly before Rei made a cloth for Esanor so he doesn't get sick even though that is impossible.
Before they could continue where they left off King floated down as he saw Elaine in Ban's embrace.
"Elaine...." He muttered before frowning heavily.
"WHAT DID YOU DO REI!!!!" He shouted in rage as he saw Elaine was now a vampire. King was about to launch his spear towards Rei when Elaine and Ban stood in front of King shielding Rei.
"Nii san listen to me!" Elaine shouted as she stared at King.
"I was brought back by the demons magic. But Rei helped me make a new body so that I'm truly alive and made me a vampire so that I'm immortal like Ban and can't die anymore." Elaine shouted as King calmed down slightly.
"King, Elaine would have disappeared again if Rei didn't do what he did. Rei saved Elaine." Ban said as King calmed down fully with what he had said. King had mix feelings for Rei right now. He was thankful that he saved Elaine but he was also annoyed at the fact that he had turned Elaine into a vampire and couldn't be changed back.
"Thank you..." King muttered as he then ignored Rei.
Rei could only shrug and sigh.
They then saw a poster saying that there was a fighting tournament to which the winner would gain a free wish.
"I can guarantee that this was done by the commandments. Since we just got rid of 2 of them, there should be 8 left. If we can take care of more of them it would be good." Rei said as he looked towards the rest of the people.
"Gerheade, I believe that your brother would appear at the fighting tournament." Rei said as Gerheade perked up and nodded.
"Shall I teleport everyone there or do you guys want to rest a little before we go?" Rei asked.
"Let's go now, we shouldn't let more people get their soul taken from them." Ban said as he just had the soul of his father figure get taken instead of his so he doesn't want anyone else to have the same experience.
"Ok just hold on then, I'll need to get some mana back." Rei said.
"Need some blood then kiddo?" Ban asked as he knew that Rei get's more mana from blood.
"This...." Rei said looking at Elaine.
"Go for it." She smiled back as she was great full for Rei making a body for her.
Rei nodded as he made a barrel and held it towards Ban who slit his wrist and blood started to pour out into barrel. While it was being filled up, Rei made a rubbed tube as he started to drink from the barrel. The more blood Ban put in the faster Rei drank and soon Ban poured enough blood to fill huge bath for nobles.
"Kiddo arn't you drinking a bit much?" Ban asked as he didn't think that Rei would drink this much.
"Fuck do you mean bit much. I had a few centuries in purgatory not being able to drink blood since the monsters their had no blood." Rei said as he continued to drink.
Ban only stopped for a second before stabbing the tube to his vein.
"This should be faster no?" Ban said as Elaine giggled as the sight of Rei using Ban as a water bottle.
Rei on shrugged as he dismissed the barrel and started to make a complicated seal to teleport the whole group towards the location. When he was marking the location he found Meliodas' signature and turned to Ban.
"Ban nii san, I can teleport us to dad if you want since he is going the same way." Rei said.
Ban hesitated for a second before he remembered what his father figure had said to him when he told him about how he tried to kill Meliodas to revive Elaine.
"Sure kiddo." Ban said.
Rei only nodded when he started to lock down on Meliodas' mana signal and finished his seal.
"Barber girl, bring Escanor here please." Rei called out to Jericho.
"My name is Jericho not Barber girl!" She shouted but still complied.
Rei then set down the seal as a neon blue light twisted around the area.
"Grab hold of the nearest person and brace yourselves. Next stop should be NOW!!" Rei shouted with a wide grin as he teleported everyone.
