The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 364: Training with the Blood Demon Girl

In this way, David and Arya began their secret operation.

While avoiding the blood demon's pursuit, they looked for opportunities to sneak into the core of the experiment.

In the process, David gradually discovered that Arya was not only kind, but also smart and brave.

“Perhaps, this world is not all dark.” David thought to himself, “As long as there are people like Arya, there is still hope.”

Arya also has full trust in David. She never thought that she would meet a companion who is willing to help her in this violent world.

"Thank you, David," Arya whispered one night. "If it weren't for you, I might have..."

"Don't say that." David interrupted her, "We are companions, and we should help each other."

Arya smiled slightly, with a determined light in her eyes: "No matter what, I will work with you to uncover the ruler's conspiracy and find the light that belongs to us."

David nodded, his eyes cast into the darkness in the distance: "Yes, we will find it."

As time went by, David and Arya's cooperation became more and more tacit.

They supported each other in the darkness and faced together the pursuit of the blood demon ruler and the numerous obstacles in the core of the experiment.

However, during this journey full of dangers and unknowns, the relationship between the two gradually underwent subtle changes.

One night, David and Arya hid in an abandoned ancient ruins.

The wind howled outside, as if reminding them that the world was still full of dangers.

Arya sat by the fire, holding an ancient book found from the ruins in her hands, her brows slightly frowned, as if thinking about something.

"What are you looking at?" David came over and sat next to her.

"This is an ancient book about the origin of the blood demon." Arya raised her head with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"It mentions an ancient ritual that is said to be able to enhance the power of bloodline through pure energy without sacrificing the lives of others."

David took the ancient book and flipped through a few pages carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "This...if this is true, maybe we can find a way to replace the ruler experiment."

He knew it was true at a glance, and he vaguely felt that it was similar to the blood wizard.

It seems that there is indeed some connection between the inheritance of the Blood Prison World and the Blood Shadow Island in the Wizarding World.

Arya nodded, but then became a little worried: "However, this ritual requires extremely high energy control ability, and...it requires two people to complete it together."

David looked at her and smiled: "Aren't there just two of us?"

Arya was stunned for a moment, then she laughed, "Yes, we can do it."

In the light of the fire, their eyes met, and there seemed to be an indescribable emotion in the air.

Arya's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head and said softly: "David, actually... I have always been grateful to you. If it weren't for you, I might have..."

David reached out and gently took her hand. "You don't have to say thank you all the time, Arya. We are companions, and... friends."

Arya looked up, her eyes flashing with mixed emotions: "Just friends?"

David was stunned for a moment, then realized that his inner emotions were also changing quietly. He looked at Arya and said softly: "Maybe... more than just friends."

The two were silent for a moment, and there was a subtle tension in the air.

Finally, Arya plucked up the courage and whispered, "David, actually...I am sorry for you..."

Before she finished her words, there was a strange noise outside. David immediately became alert and stood up quickly: "Someone is coming!"

Arya immediately calmed down, quickly put away the ancient book, and followed David into the shadow of the ruins.

Sure enough, not long after, several high-level blood demons broke into the ruins, searching for something.

"How did they find this place?" Arya whispered.

David frowned: "Maybe the traces we left before have been discovered. We must leave as soon as possible."

The two carefully avoided the blood demon's search and quietly left from the other side of the ruins.

However, just as they were about to escape danger, a high-level blood demon suddenly discovered their tracks.

"There! Catch them!" the Blood Demon shouted.

David and Arya ran quickly, but the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer.

Seeing that he could not escape, David suddenly stopped and turned to face his pursuers.

"David, what are you doing?" Arya asked anxiously.

"You go first, I'll hold them back!" David said in a deep voice.

"No! I can't leave you!" A gleam of determination flashed in Arya's eyes.

David looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness: "Alia, believe me. I will catch up with you."

Arya gritted her teeth and finally nodded: "You must be careful!"

She turned and continued running, while David released the power of his chaos bloodline and engaged in a fierce battle with his pursuers.

Without Arya, he no longer hid his strength, and with the power of a six-ring blood wizard, he directly pressed down on these high-level blood demons.

David stood in the shadow of the ruins, his eyes cold and sharp.

The power of his chaotic bloodline surged in his body, as if a sleeping beast had finally awakened.

Those high-level blood demons originally rushed towards him aggressively, but after feeling the terrifying power, they stopped involuntarily.

"This... what kind of power is this?"

A high-level blood demon asked in a trembling voice, his eyes full of fear.

David did not answer, but slowly raised his hand, and a ball of dark energy condensed in his palm.

That energy seemed to be able to devour all light, and even the surrounding air became distorted.

"You shouldn't have chased here." David's voice was low and cold, like a judgment from hell.

The high-level blood demons looked at each other, feeling an uncontrollable fear rising in their hearts.

They had never seen such a powerful force, and even the Blood Demon Leader had never given them such a sense of oppression.

"Run!" One of the blood demons shouted and turned around to escape.

However, David was quicker.

He waved his hand lightly, and the dark energy instantly turned into countless filaments, wrapping around the bodies of the blood demons like chains.

No matter how they struggled, they could not break free from the bondage of this power.

"No! Let us go!"

The blood demons screamed in terror, but their voices were quickly swallowed up by the darkness.

Faced with David's power, they had no ability to resist and could only bow their heads unwillingly.

David walked slowly in front of them, his eyes cold and ruthless: "You hunted us down and wanted to take us back to the core of the experiment. Now, it's your turn to pay the price for your choice."

He raised his hand, and a complex blood-red rune appeared on his palm.

That was the mark of the slave blood contract. Once signed, these blood demons would become his slaves forever and would be unable to resist his will. "No! You can't do this!"

A blood demon shouted desperately, "We are the ruler's subordinates. If you dare to attack us, the ruler will not let you go!"

David sneered, "Ruler? He will soon find out that his time is over."

Before he finished speaking, the blood-colored rune in his hand instantly flew out and was imprinted on the foreheads of those blood demons.

The runes merged into their flesh and blood, becoming an indelible mark.

The blood demons' bodies trembled violently, and the last glimmer of resistance in their eyes completely disappeared.

"Owner……"

They fell to their knees, their voices filled with submission and awe.

David looked at them coldly, without a trace of pity in his heart.

"Get up." David said lightly.

"From now on, your mission is to protect Arya and help us complete our plan. If you dare to have any thoughts of betrayal, the Slave Blood Contract will make your life worse than death."

The blood demons lowered their heads and responded in unison: "Yes, Master."

David nodded, turned around and chased in the direction Arya left.

He knew that Arya must be worried about him, and he didn't want to keep her waiting too long.

When he found Arya, she was hiding in a cave, anxiously waiting for news from him.

Seeing David appear safe and sound, tears immediately welled up in Arya's eyes.

"David! Are you okay?" She rushed forward and supported him.

"I'm fine, just a little hurt." David forced a smile.

Arya looked at him distressedly, tears streaming down her face. "Why are you trying so hard? If anything happens to you, I..."

David reached out his hand and gently wiped the tears from her face: "Because I don't want you to get hurt. Arya, you are...very important to me."

Arya was stunned, then hugged David tightly: "David, I...I can't lose you either."

The two hugged each other, and their heartbeats seemed to merge into one at this moment.

David stroked her hair gently and whispered, "Arya, I actually... have always had special feelings for you. I just never dared to admit it."

Arya raised her head, tears in her eyes: "Me too... David, I like you."

David smiled slightly and leaned down to kiss her gently on the lips.

At that moment, all the danger and darkness seemed to be left behind, leaving only each other's heartbeat and warmth.

David took advantage of the situation and possessed himself.

David and Arya hugged and kissed each other in the cave, and their emotions were completely released at this moment.

"Arya, I have seen in ancient books an ancient practice method that can stimulate the power of blood through special movements and breathing."

David said softly, a mysterious gleam in his eyes.

Arya looked at him curiously, "What method?"

David smiled slightly: "We can further integrate each other's bloodline power in this way."

Arya nodded, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes: "Then let's try it."

The two found a flat area in the cave and began to practice according to the method described by David.

"This is 'Embrace of the Blood Moon'." David explained, "Through this action, we can condense the power of our bloodline into pure energy."

The two maintained this posture, and their breathing gradually became synchronized.

Arya felt the energy in her body growing stronger and stronger, as if it had merged with David's power.

"Next, it's 'Blood Wings Spread'."

David slowly stood up and spread his arms to both sides like a pair of huge wings.

Arya stood up as well, imitating his movements. She felt the energy in her body begin to spread outward, as if a pair of invisible wings really spread out behind her.

"Feel the flow of blood power and let it fill your whole body." David said softly.

Arya closed her eyes and felt the flow of energy. Her body seemed to become lighter, as if she could fly into the sky at any time.

"The last move is 'Blood Soul Resonance.'" David turned around, faced Arya, and gently held her hands with both of his.

Arya opened her eyes and looked at David, her eyes full of trust and dependence.

"Close your eyes and feel the power of our blood flowing between each other." David said softly.

Arya did as she was told and closed her eyes.

She felt David's strength passing through his hands and into her body, merging with her own.

The blood power of the two reached a perfect resonance at this moment.

"Arya, our powers have merged together," David said softly. "No matter how many dangers lie ahead, we can face them together."

Arya nodded, a determined gleam in her eyes. "Yes, David. Together."

The two let go of each other's hands and looked at each other, their eyes full of affection and trust.

Suddenly, Arya frowned slightly, seeming to be a little uncomfortable.

"Arya, what's wrong with you?" David noticed her abnormality, stopped and asked with concern.

Arya shook her head and forced a smile: "I'm fine, but... I feel the power in my body is a little agitated, as if something is surging."

David smiled and comforted her, while feeling the power of the blood demon he got from the blood girl.

At the same time, he discovered that deep in Arya's blood, there was also an extremely powerful blood demon power hidden.

David and Arya continued to explore each other's blood power in the cave.

As they delved deeper into the power of the blood demon, they discovered that this power was not only powerful, but also full of mystery and unknowns.

At the same time, the two of them have been practicing continuously, using the power of the system to strengthen the power of the blood demon.

The two found a flat place in the cave. They sat down face to face, gently clasped their hands, closed their eyes, and felt each other's breath and the flow of blood power.

As time went on, David and Arya became more and more proficient in their practice.

This method of practice can not only enhance their bloodline power, but also deepen their mutual understanding and emotions.

One day, after practicing, Arya suddenly felt that the blood demon power in her body was a little restless.

She frowned and said softly, "David, I feel that the power in my body is a little restless."

David was immediately alert and took her hand, feeling the energy flowing through her body.

He discovered that Arya's blood demon power seemed to be gradually awakening and was more active than before.
