Shadow Slave: Bloodborne

The two Queens now stood side to side, the ominous aura in the room growing even more oppressive.

Their eyes fixated on the cohort, as they pointed their blades at them.

Ragna grinned while small droplets of sweat were rolling down his face.

'Hahaha, This is bad, fucking terrible.'

"Layla, Celeste, you take one ! Me and Cera will fight of the second one."

Without wasting any more time, they split into two groups. Ragna ran and Cera flew towards the Queen they had been fighting before, while Layla and Celeste dashed towards the new one.

A little bit before Ragna and the Queen clashed, a memory manifested in to his left hand. It was the Dreamwalker's Blanket, the one they had used at the nights of the dessert.

Ragna parried one powerful blow, before throwing the large blanket at the Queen, engulfing it in a soft fabric and clouding it in darkness.

This of course didn't do any damage but doing hurting the Queen with the blanket wasn't his plan, as Cera shot out spikes of blood, making them pierce the blanket and attach each side of the blanket to the ground, making them pierce Queen unable to just throw it away.

The Queen already got ready to slice the blanket with her sword, but this one second of being stunned was enough for Ragna to attack.

Ragna pierced the Queens chest, his sword augmented and the second hit effect that came from the blood slash doing devastating damage, as the Queen grew limp and feel onto the ground, the blanket still around her.

[You have slain a Awakened Demon, Chess Piece, Variant: Queen]

[You have spilled Blood.]

[Your Core grows stronger.]

Ragna sighed of relief, knowing that his plan had actually worked. But what he heard next, made him grin uncontrollably.

[You have received an Echo.]

***

After the cohort split into two groups, each running towards one of the queens, Layla's and Celeste's hearts pounded, as they stood in front of the ominous Queen.

The Queens dark and ethereal gaze fixed upon Layla and Celeste, her presence suffocating and her blade gleaming with bloodlust.

Before the Queen could react, she felt a thick black liquid get splashed around her, before she went blind. This made the Queen disoriented, but what followed next made it even worse for her, since she suddenly felt an unimaginable weight press down at her.

It wasn't enough to truly make her unable to move, but it did slow her down considerably. And all that was the reason why she couldn't dodge the sword, as she suddenly felt flesh being pierced and ripped.

Layla's blade drove deep into the side of the Queen, making it cry out in pain.

The Queen let out furious, inhuman shriek, while staggering backwards, blood dripping from the wound.

She raised her blade, even tho she was still blind, before feeling another deep cut and her head being crushed.

As the Queen her body weaken, she couldn't fight back against the oppressive weight which poured down at her, making her fall onto her knees before her head was sliced off.

***

In the room under the one the cohort was inside right now, a  young boy with blue eyes and blonde hair was waiting. It was Caspian.

They had drifted apart in room 2, since the tower had split into two sections, but after Floor 190, the ways had grown back into one again.

Caspian had just secretly followed the cohort, always waiting in the room before them at letting them clean up the monsters before he himself went back up.

He would definitely get his revenge, he said. But first, he needed to get out of the Dream Realm, become an Awakened and reorganize.

He went up the stairs and hid in front of the door, hiding on the steps.

'It seems like they just got done with this room. Just one more room to go ... till I can leave.'

***

After Ragna had killed the Queen, and gained an Echo, he looked over to Layla and Celeste, seeing that they were getting done with fighting the other Queen too.

'They don't need my help ... let's look at the Queen now.'

Name: Ragna

True Name: Bled into Existence

Rank: Dreamer

Blood Core: 2/7

Blood spilled: (793/20000)

Memories: [Redfur Cloak], [Glas Piece], [Mirror Blade], [Amulet of Clarity], [Crimson Strings.], [Everlight Lantern], [Dreamwalker's blanket], [Eyes of Eagles], [Pot of Flesh]

Echoes: [Cera], [... Variant: Queen.]

Attributes: [Fated], [Unseen Link], [Heir of the Blood Angel.]

Aspect: Bloodlorde.

'I really got a new Echo, Queen ...'

As he concentrated on the Echo, the runes of her attributes and description appeared. But there was also a rune he didn't know existed and it said.

[Do you wish for this Echo to become a Bloodborne ?]

[Cost: 500 liters of Blood.]

[Yes]    [No]

'Huh ? A Bloodborne Echo ? Like Cera ? ... Does this mean that she will gain powers related to blood ? Maybe she can also grow stronger like how Cera can gain Blood Fragments, even if I don't know how to strengthen her yet.

But it costs 500 liters ... My Blood Core has 793 saved up right now ... but I really want to know what happens if I do this ..'

As he moved his finger on yes, he felt his body weaken slightly since his Blood Core got drained. And then, the Spell had whispered into his ears.

[Your Echo has been destroyed.]

[You have gained a Bloodborne Echo.]

As he looked over his runes again, they had indeed changed.

Echoes: [Cera], [Sanguine Mother]

Bloodborne Creature: Sanguine Mother

Bloodborne Rank: Awakened

Bloodborne Class: Demon

Bloodborne Attributes: [Speed Demon], [Master of Blades], [Nobility]

Bloodborne Abilities: [Sanguine Armor]

Blood Fragments: [0/200]

Speed Demon: [This ability makes the Creature fight with unimaginable speed. The more she kills, the faster she gets. The effects were off after the fight ends.]

Master of Blades: [The Sanguine Mother is a Master of blades, having an unpredictable style that no one can copy.]

Nobility: [Weaker Creatures fear her, being unable to fight at full strength in her presence.]

Sanguine Armor: [The Sanguine Mother can summon an armor out of her own Blood. It cannot be destroyed with normal attacks.]

'This ... is fucking great. Her attributes are really overpowered and her Ability is really nice and beneficial. An Armor that cannot be destroyed with normal ways, huh ? That Nobility Attribute is especially nice.'

As Ragna turned around and looked back, he saw that Celeste and Layla were done with their fight, already walking towards him.

Celeste hummed while recalling her weapon.

"Finally cleared this room, huh ? Only one more left. By the way Ragna, did you get a Memory or something like that ?"

"Yeah .. I actually got an Echo."

Layla and Celeste stopped in their way before Celeste just started laughing.

"Fucking Lucky bastard, getting the Queen as an Echo. Common, summon her."

"Fine, fine. Bow down in front of the Queen.", he said before summoning her.

A pool of Blood appeared next to him, before a tall figure, drenched in blood, came out stepping out of it.

She was tall, maybe standing at 190 centimeters (6'2), while wearing a fine, red dress. She also wore a Crown on her head, her long hair cascading down her back and holding a thin, red blade with roses going around it. The Queens skin was fully black, as she stood ominously, waiting for a command. Her eyes shone with intelligence but it didn't seem like she could talk.

All four of them looked at her for a while, fascinated by the elegance and sheer power she seemed to have.

(Is she my younger sister ?)

(Uhm, I guess so ? She doesn't look like the "younger" one of you tho, you shorty.)

"Ragna what are you doing with such a lewd Echo ?! Look at the size of her breasts !?! You pervert !", yelled out Celeste

Ragna looked confused, before he looked at the Queen once more, fixating his eyes on her rather large bosoms, before clearing his throat and avoiding them.

'They looked at me first.'

"What did I do ? I-it's not like I made her like this. And they are covered .... mostly !"

He recalled the Queen back into his sea of soul and changed the subject.

"Lets just res for a while before going to the next and last room. We need every bit of energy we can get."
