Will of chaos

I took advantage of the fact that I was resting for the next few days to do some things I haven't had time for until now, like meeting the Blood Demons.

The commercial and diplomatic problems of these two islands do not interest me, I want more than Yara and Henrique, who are responsible for this place, to solve this.

All I did was give the envoys a little help, let the people who wanted to help with the construction do whatever they wanted, and have a few conversations with the two High Priests.

I don't plan on helping any more than that, I'm just not leaving right now because I'm too tired and this place is too nice to rummage through until I'm fully recovered.

As I didn't want anyone to hear what I was going to talk to the Blood Demons, I went to meet them for a conversation inside the Dungeon in my mansion's room.

To my surprise there was only one person from the Blood Demons to meet me, she joined Alice while I waited in the room, she sits opposite me and a few seconds later Freya arrives bringing delicious food as an aperitif while she pours wine.

"Pleased to finally meet the Holy Son of the Mother Goddess, I am the Queen of Blood Demons, my name is Eve." (Eve)

"Nice to finally be able to talk to you, my name is Zenos, I'm the leader of this place." (I)

"I am honored to be in the presence of the Holy Son and King of this Holy Land." (Eve)

She looked to be in her mid-30s, she had a well-trained body with some scars all over her body showing that she has vast fighting experience, she was around 1.75 meters tall, her long black hair was tied in a braid, she it had white fur, a smooth red tail with a triangular tip made of bone, it also had red eyes and fangs.

She's very beautiful, her Aura was already close to reaching the Lower Catastrophe Grade, but it's not there yet, I remember seeing her among the Blood Demons before, but unfortunately I didn't have time to talk at that moment.

She must be a hybrid by her looks, but her strength really was something to be proud of, her Aura was full of vitality like the others, being with her in the same room so close was almost therapeutic as my body relaxed just by her being close.

At the first exchange of greetings Eva kneels in front of me like a subordinate meeting his King, to be honest I still don't like this kind of situation.

I already had enough problems with Barok and Lilian who acted like that, not to mention the Lizardman, they always end up kneeling in front of me, I managed to convince almost everyone to stop it, but it seems there are more of these crazy people now.

"Please get up, sit on the couch and have a chat." (I)

"If that's your wish, Holy Son." (Eve)

Sigh

"(With all this formality this conversation is going to be tiring.)" (I)

I wait for her to sit down while Caryna and Freya bring us appetizers and a bottle of blood, they set it all on the coffee table between me and Eva.

"I heard that Blood Demons also drink blood, this is the blood of a Catastrophe Grade monster we encountered in the ocean on the way to this continent." (I)

"Unlike Vampires who need to drink blood to live, my race treats blood like any other kind of food, a tasty delicacy for us." (Eve)

"I see, I hope you like the appetizers." (I)

"I am grateful to be able to enjoy such a rare cup of blood in your presence Holy Son." (Eve)

"Please just call me Zenos, I don't like formalities." (I)

"Also, sorry for the sudden question, but are you a hybrid?" (I)

"No, I understand your doubt due to my different skin color, I had the honor of evolving into a Blood Demon Queen, so I am different from the rest of my people." (Eve)

"Could you tell me more about you guys?" (I)

"It would be a great pleasure." (Eve)

"For starters..." (Eve)

----------

For the next few hours I listened with pleasure to a summary of the Blood Demon Race's long history.

According to their beliefs they are a sister race to the Vampires and are also children of the Goddess Selene, beings who were created by the power of the Goddess of Blood.

They are warriors by nature, all of their kind are warriors or mages, they have great talent for magic and blessed bodies for a warrior, but they lack the ability to use spiritual energy.

Usually members of your race are born with the talent to be mages or warriors, they have great regeneration abilities and the ability to withstand living in hostile environments for long periods of time.

They have a culture focused on the teachings of the Goddess Selene and protecting those too young to defend themselves.

They believe they are blessed from birth with great talent and therefore feel the need to extend a helping hand to the innocent in need.

Blood Demons understand the value of life and believe it is their duty to protect the lives of the innocent, because of these beliefs they interfere in countless wars throughout history where they mainly rescue orphans and people unable to defend themselves.

Because of their interference they became known as bloodthirsty mercenaries, everyone who faces the Blood Demons in battle knows the terror of a perfect warrior who doesn't fear death.

Also it seems that the leaders of the Blood Demons are always women who are talented in both the use of Ki and the use of magic, those types of women who still have enough wisdom are able to evolve into Queens one day, just like Eve with who spent hours talking.

The reason for this also lies in their culture that grows around the teachings of the Goddess Selene, they believe that because women are those who have the ability to generate new lives, they have the Blessing of the Goddess Selene, so their hierarchy is based more on a Matriarchy.

But Eva said that there is not much difference between men and women, she said that the biggest problem for them was the low fertility of their race, but that was because their life expectancy was even higher than that of the Elves, and could reach up to 1500 years of age.

I was surprised by many of the things I heard, the Blood Demons were very interesting, their strong vitality even affects the surroundings of where they are, because of that they constantly travel to areas where the crops are bad and there are diseases, just because they are nearby things can improve for those residing in these areas.

Unfortunately because of their good deeds they were misunderstood, generating a huge misunderstanding that resulted in the rumors that to this day make them hated by most of the continent.
