Chapter 11 - Chapter 11 ‘Let There Blood Spill’

As I walk into the gala on Charles. He stole a wait staff uniform. All of them were wearing masks. My noise smelt something blood. Not just any blood but the blood of Charles. We looked through the crowd. Damn it's too crowded to find them. Charles grabs a silver platter. Offering drinks and weaving through the guests. "Hello there." A voice said it was a girl with cyan hair. Charles nodded. 

"Yes Ma'am do you require anything?" Charles asked nicely. 

"Do you know where the bathrooms are?" She asked kindly. 

"Yes if you go down to the right then to your left there should be a bathroom." Charles said with a swift nod. Giving out more drinks. 

"Thank you kind sir." She said with a smile walking off. As Charles served more guests. As an intoxicated man bumps into him. 

"Hey watch it serf boy! I rule over a town." The noble yelled. 

"I have the deepest apologies for what I have done." Charles said, putting out a hand to help him up. 

"I could kill you if I wanted." The Nobleman spoke. His appearance was fair but his personality was rotten. He walked out of the bathroom to the bathroom to clean himself off. As he started cleaning the mess. Someone came to help. 

"First day?" The person asked. Charles slowly nodded. He was also wearing a mask. "Yeah don't worry about making a mistake, it happens all the time." The masked person. 

"Thank you." Charles said with a nod. 

"Pluto Hades!" The joyful boy said as Charles tilted his head. "Is my name silly?" Pluto said with joy radiating off him. 

"Okay you can call me C." Charles said as he put on a new uniform. "Do you have any dream Pluto?" Charles asked him. 

"Yeah to become a great Hunter!" Pluto said with him basically jumping up and down. "C do you have a dream?" Pluto asked. 

"To be strong." Charles answered. 

"But why do you want to be strong?" Pluto asked. Charles had looked back. 

"There has to be a reason?" Charles asked if I forgot he was hollow. His chaos energy was clear. 

"Yeah we have a reason for doing anything." Pluto said with a thumbs up. 

"Interesting." Charles said as he walked back into the crowd. 

"Hey wait for me." Pluto said, chasing after Charles. Pluto tripped over his own feet. Charles saved Pluto from falling onto a different noble. "Thank you." Pluto said. 

"… You're welcome." Charles said. Standing up Pluto brushing him off. 

"Thank you junior." Pluto said, patting the shoulder of Charles. 

"Don't mention it." Charles said with a smile. As Charles started to walk off. 

"Let's talk later C." Pluto said with joyous waves. Charles shrugged. As with agile hands he picked up a silver plate filled with drinks. Weaving through the nobles. 

"Thank you kind sir." One of the noblewomen. Charles dodged another intoxicated noble. As he slightly bumped into a noble. 

"Watch it you trash." The noble spoke his voice was slurring. Noble was swaying. As he offered another drink to another noble. 

"Thank you kind sir, you are mighty helpful." A noble said with a kind smile. As Charles nodded he started to weave among the nobles. The faint smell entered the air. 

"Blood." Charles said with a frown. The blood was faint. But it was still there. Great, the killer had killed someone. 

"C! It's good to see you." Pluto said. With a small wave. "You're out of the drinks come on time to refill." He said as he led us back to the kitchen. As we got our drink filled. 

"Thank you." Charles said with a smile. With a small nod. He went back out there. Dodging in between the nobles. Barely dodging a noble who was swinging around. 

"Hey! Bring me a drink!" A noble yelled as he walked through the crowd. Weaving through the crowd. 

"Hello there my lord." Charles said with a bow. The noble smelled of booze. It made my screamed noise in pain. 

"Thank you." The noble words were slurred. As he fell back over. As Charles started to walk off. Ignoring the fallen nobles. 

"Hello, that guy alright." Pluto said. He could not sit still. "I need to go to the bathroom." Pluto said. Charles followed him. The smell of blood grew stronger. 

"… How do you feel about killers?" Charles asked. 

"I can understand killing vampires. As it hunts humans." Pluto said with a frown. Once again the smell of blood grew stronger. Pluto seemed not to notice or he was ignoring it. My senses were ready for an attack. 

"Okay. I wonder what your job is when you're not serving the nobles?" Charles asked. Slowly he sensed something was wrong. Deciding to turn back. As I looked into the women's bathroom well I was pasting it. There was a dead body of the noble that bumped me. I continue walking pretending not to see the dead body. Walking back to the party. 

"Hey!" Pluto called out. Grabbing Charles shoulder. Pluto was calm. 

"Hi, what is going on Pluto?" Charles said with a fake cheerful voice. 

"I am doing good." Pluto said with a smile. With a small thumbs up. "Let's get back to work." Pluto said with a cheerful voice. My mind lingered on the dead body in the bathroom. The cuts were clean and made by a weapon. 

"Hello there Pluto." One of the other staff members. 

"Hi there Peri." Pluto said with a small wave. "Have you met with C yet?" Pluto asked. Pushing Charles towards Peri. 

"Hi." Charles said with a small wave. Having the Charles handshake with Peri. 

"Nice to meet you." Peri said with a firm handshake. 

"How is your day going, Peri." Pluto said with such a friendly tone. 

"I am doing well. C can I see you in the back." Peri said as he led him to a corridor. As he quickly turned facing Charles. 

"Why did you call me here?" Charles asked if his voice felt cold. 

"We have a serial killer in the building." Peri said with a somber tone. "I believe that you are the killer." Peri charged at Charles. Charles dodging the knife attack. Peri used a wide slash. Taking a step back to dodge the attack. 

"I am not the killer." Charles said, dodging his slashes. 

"Sure you are." Peri said well, getting a stab in the shoulder. "Even monsters will bleed red." He said with malice. He added pressure onto the wound. 

"Damn you." Charles growled. He started to glow silver. But then its silver energy vanished. As he got hit with a throwing knife. 

"Really as long as I can damage you before you can activate your power." Peri said with disgust. The eyes I could see through a mask. His eyes were filled with rage. 

"This is not good." Charles said glaring at Peri. I started flapping above the two who were fighting. Charles landed a punch on Peri gut. Knocking him away. He rolled. Now he was on his feet. Three knives were thrown at Charles. Charles was able to dodge two of the three knives. One of the knives was stuck into his shoulder. Charles started to flee hiding behind the pillar. Charles started to charge his silver aura. 

"You are quite the killer." Peri said with hatred in his voice. His eyes widened at the speed Charles was going. He was barely able to block Charles' attack. 

"I am not the killer!" Charles said. Peri was knocked back. He was hit on the walk. The wall had spiderwebs like cracks. As they had to dodge several thrown knives. Five of them managed to hit him crimson red blood flowed onto the floor. 

"Those killer instincts mean you're a killer." Peri said. 

"I am not the killer." Charles roared. Barely able to dodge the knife. Charles' eyes started to glow yellow. The silvery aura grew thicker like armor. His fingernails sharpen into claws. 

"You look like a wild beast." Peri said with hatred. Charles snarled. 

"Really thank you." Charles started to laugh. He punched Peri. But he barely missed it. Charles smashed through the wall. "You wanted to fight so bad. So why are you dodging?" Charles snarled at Peri. Several knives dug into Charles' skin. Some of his wounds started to heal. His minor wound started to close. 

"You are the wild beast. A simple minded beast. Why would I care about your feelings?" Peri said, holding several knives. Throwing all of them at once. 

"How dare you!" Charles roared. Blocking the knives with pure Chaos Energy. Has let out breathing heavy. The wound started close. Charles' eyes glowed yellow. 

"Looks like I have to show you the true power of the House of Evolution." Peri said with a smile as his shirt started to rip. His skin grew darker and seemed to grow thicker. Punching Charles, sending him back. Charles was heavily breathing. He rolled under the roll. Slashing the leg of Peri. 

"Damn and you call me a monster." Charles said. As he was still breathing was growing heavy. Charles started breathing lighter and he was recovering. 

"Die!!" Peri roared. As his rippling muscles seemed to grow even bigger. Charles was able to kick him in the chest causing burn marks. As Charles was grabbed by his leg. Slamming Charles into the ground. Once, twice, three times, four times. Charles was bloody. Was able to break free of the grip. Charles was heavily damaged. 

"Damn you're ugly." Charles said, trying to make him mad. Trying to make him make more mistakes. He duct under the punch destroying the wall. Charles started to run. As he flew out the window. Peri chased close behind. As Charles was fleeing on the tree tops. Peri was toppling the tree as if it was like a mad beast. As he got to a place with countless swords. Why would he bring him to this place? 

"Arrrrgh!" Peri roared. It was in a blind rage. What was this thing? 

"This is the sword grave. Countless swords were pierced into the ground. It is a place of training." Charles said. "A place where I had killed countless monsters. This shall be your grave." He said with a smile. 

"Arrrrgh!" It roared. Charging at Charles. Had slashed deep into flesh. But then the sword broke. Charles threw away the sword grabbing another. Peri's hands were clasped together as then it slammed to the ground sending a shockwave. Knocking Charles off balance. Peri was able to land a direct hit. Crushing the ground below it fist. Charles was barely alive. His body started to heal at a rapid rate. 

"You are quite a dangerous being." Charles was huffing and puffing. Throwing the broken sword once again. Picking up the new sword from the ground. 

"Arrrrrgh!" Peri roared louder. Its muscles seemed to grow and thicken. Charging at Charles. He stabbed the sword deep into the chest. Crimson blood poured out of its wound. Charles was knocked to the side. Charles' arm seemed to be broken. With one of his bones sticking out of his flesh. 

"You are one damn bastard." Charles swore out the monster. Peri barfed up crimson blood. As blood poured from every pour. It slowly got up. Its eyes gleamed with insanity. But Peri fell back over as it seemed to die. Life in the eyes started to fade. 

"Are you okay?" I came flying down. As I started to heal him. It was slow. 

"Interesting, it was some great battle data." A cloaked figure. As he took a few steps. Towards the downed Charles. "Since I am a nice guy I need him alive as he is my friend." He said wait this fear. What was he? 

"Who are you?" I asked for a defensive stance. I may be extremely weakened but I will protect him. 

"The starlight of the end of the world." The person spoke. Taking a step past me.
