Blood Warlock in Danmachi

After spending some time with Rose over a cup of tea he eventually leaves because he tries to make it a habit to go to the dungeon at least once every day even on days where other adventures take rest days

Most adventures find going to the dungeon multiple times a week exhausting because they rightfully don't enjoy risking their life every day but Sanguinius doesn't mind he actually enjoys it almost like it is an addiction 

Seeing the Blood spill from his enemies and the feeling of growing stronger after every kill makes him enthusiastic to go into the dungeon every day

"This world has really changed me" he mutters under his breath while strolling on the thirteenth Floor which is a part of the middle Floors, with his weapons stored in his space pocket because he's thinking of trying his new skills on this Floor

The middle Floors has the walls, ground, and ceiling made of bedrock while also possessing a more complex layout which include intertwining upper and lower tunnels and vertical holes leading to the deeper Floors that some unsuspecting adventures unfortunately fall into

The Floors also include a more dim lighting and moist air that attribute's to adventures falling into the deeper Floors 

One of the features that makes the middle Floors different than the upper ones is that monsters spawn significantly faster and monsters get strong enough where most adventures need to party up to not have a difficult time

Turning his head into the direction of a Crystal Mantis he eyes the creature covered in crystal Armor while possessing large mandibles and two spiked grasping forelegs as its weapon

He remembers that Crystal Mantises are quite resistant to magic attacks because of their Armor and decides to attack it with magic regardless to test his powers after the level up

Charging up a large spear made of Blood instead of an arrow he fires it at the Mantis causing its chest to cave in along with some of its crystals to get destroyed, the mantis whimpers in pain at its severe injuries caused by the attack

Surprised that it was weaker than he thought he charges up another spear of blood but this time he also adds in his Blood ignition skill causing the spear to go up in flames and radiate a bright crimson colour 

He throws this empowered spear at the Mantis as well at a speed to fast to dodge and instantly burns the Mantis into ashes while destroying the surrounding bedrock into powder making it seem as if it didn't even exist before the attack 

"Ops, now I don't even have any Blood to absorb" says Sanguinius with an annoyed tone aimed at the Mantises weakness 

Moving on after his "fight" against the Mantis he encounters a Hellhound, a dog like monster capable of fire breath while also having fire resistance 

Deciding to test his flames again he throws the same empowered attack but with less ignited Blood to weaken the attack to a manageable degree 

This time the attack doesn't incinerate the hellhound but shows that its still heavily damaged after the attack

He finishes the hound and enjoys the taste of its Blood which almost tastes like the taste of spicy Chilies back on earth before continuing deeper into the dungeon meeting a group of Almiraj, monsters with white fur and a horn on their heads that look like rabbits but with a more Bloodthirsty expression 

Being surrounded by the large group of Almiraj he smiles and says something that doesn't make any sense "am I surrounded or are you?" before activating his Blood wolfs aura and making the group of Almiraj instantly stop in their tracks and cower back in fear

Observing their fear he try's something, he imagines himself in the Hostess of fertility back when that man insulted him and how much killing intent and anger he felt 

Tapping into a little bit of that inner anger in his Blood, he feels his Blood wolf aura grow even stronger being empowered by the Blood Berserkers Wrath skill fearing and paralyzing the Almiraj even more while causing some of them to outright die because of the skill

"I didn't know it could kill" he thinks before slowly walking to the rabbits and snapping their necks one by one "you used to be cute back In my world"

Absorbing their Blood he feels that he can go deeper into the middle Floors today as he's even stronger than he thought 

Going past the fourteenth Floor he reaches fifteenth Floor where Minotaur's spawn one of the strongest monsters on the middle Floors with a cow head and the ability to paralyze level 1 adventures which is similar to his own skill

Stripping his clothes fully while storing them in his space pocket he choses to test his new evolved body fully by deciding to wrestle with a Minotaur while naked

The Minotaur that he chose to wrestle is slightly bigger than him around 7 feet or 215 cm with pronounced muscles that are bigger than his but in turn slow its movements 

Dashing at the monster swiftly, he tackles it to the ground before competing with it in strength and instead of losing out he actually overpowers it, his body seeming even more monstrous than the Minotaur's

His skin competes against the Minotaur's showing its inhuman thickness, his muscles being able to unleash more strength than the Minotaur's even with its smaller size

He slithers along its body using his smaller size and wraps his legs around the Minotaur's arm ready to break it, with a scream that shows his monster like canines and teeth he starts breaking its arm while ignoring its attacks using his thick skin

With a final scream he breaks its arm causing the Minotaur to scream in agony he doesn't stop but continues on the offensive using his now elongated almost wolf like nails to scratch its skin and poke its vitals, spilling lots of blood

Looking for the kill he outmanoeuvres the Minotaur using his superior dexterity and intelligence and puts it in a choke hold that slowly chokes it to death

The Minotaur tries to pull his arms away from its thick neck using its hands but finds his arms as unmoveable as a brick wall but still continues to desperately try with all its might to fight back

Looking into the Minotaur's eyes Sanguinius sees its eyes dim slowly along with its resistance growing weaker after every passing second until it reaches its final breaking point

Taking another deeper look into its eyes he sees an almost pleading expression in its eyes as if its begging for mercy

Ignoring its pleading he tightens his grip around its neck even more and slowly snuffs the last bits of life in its eyes and body 

At that moment the Minotaur learned what it feels to be dead for the first time along with the feeling of absolute fear that death causes, that day the Minotaur went from an it to a he before succumbing to death

Standing up after his victory against the Minotaur Sanguinius looks down on its lifeless body soaking in the feeling of killing unlike anything he felt before, he has killed monsters before but never in such a brutal and agonizing fashion 

"It felt almost human" says Sanguinius before making its blood apart of his strength and adding "at least now you will forever stay with me in Blood"

Not being in the mood to continue killing he heads back outside of the dungeon with his clothes on not looking like he just wrestled a Minotaur to death while naked

"This body is absurd I am more of a monster than an actual monster" he remarks listing out the changes he noticed caused by becoming a barbarian in his mind while walking back to his home

Thicker bones, skin and overall increased toughness to an inhumane degree 

More sensitive senses that are similar to certain animals like the smell of a wolf and vision of an eagle

Pronounced canines and nails that grow out in battle which can be used to bite and slice

Higher Maximum Muscular Strength and endurance above what he should have and in general a body that seems to be the most efficient killing machine with the least energy used for the maximum physical damage 

He also noticed that he seems to think and react faster in battle than he did before, even his mind has been altered to be more suited for battle as if its the only thing he's meant for

Pound for pound he can easily beat another adventurer of the same skill level even if they have the exact same stats and without any skills or magics because his body is just more efficiently made to exert force 

Feeling Power course through his veins he smiles and looks forward to experiencing even greater battles along with devouring even stronger enemies all while collecting as much power as possible
