Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 37 37. [Bloodlust]

Kain leaped forward as the beast's massive claws swung down at him, but he remained unfazed.

A grim smile stretched across his face as he brandished his sword to block the strike.

"Bang!"

The beast's devastating blow clashed with Kain's sword, sending a metallic screech echoing through the air.

The claws of the beast, as formidable as the strongest metals, scraped harshly against Kain's weapon. The ground beneath Kain's feet cracked and crumbled from the force of the impact, but he stood steadfast, his muscles tensed and veins bulging as he pushed back against the lioness. The sudden force made the beast stagger, creating a momentary distance between them.

But Kain wasn't finished yet. A blood-red aura, ominous and divine, flowed from his veins and enveloped his sword.

This was the colour of his divinity and the god he descended from.

The divinity of Ares!

To the watching students, the scene blurred into a whirlwind of red, only the devastating sound of Kain's attack landing allowed them to know what was going on and when the attack landed it landed with devestating effect

Despite the beast's heavy armor and thick fur, Kain's sword cut through it like a hot knife through butter, leaving a gaping, brutal wound.

"Roar!"

Blood poured out the wound like a burst dam as The beast howled in agony.

But for such a ferocious and primal creature The horrific wound only seemed to fuel its rage, making it even more aggressive.

Kain snorted in response and activated his divine technique.

An ominous air quickly descend onto the field as he spoke in a booming voice

[Bloodthirst]

Instantly, Red sparks erupted from his eyes, and a crimson wave surged over his skin.

The metallic scent of blood filled the air, igniting an insatiable hunger for battle within him. His body expanded, bulging with power as crimson energy flickered like raging serpents across his form. His bloodthirsty gaze locked onto the vicious beast.

In an astonishing display of strength, Kain's hand shot out like a spear. With a burst of speed, he grasped the lioness by the throat holding onto it in a vice like grip and slammed it to the ground with a thunderous crash.

"Boom!"

A cruel smile curled on Kain's lips as he stomped down, crushing the lion's head with a sickening splatter, like a burst watermelon. Blood sprayed across half his face, but he didn't flinch. His gaze remained locked on the instructor.

"Is that it?"

Although those words were rather straightforward, when Instructor Kyrs heard them, his lips curled up into a smile. "Of course not. The test ranges from level 1 to 10. You're free to choose any level to progress to."

"So what level will you choose?"

Kain looked at the corpse of the lioness and the pool of blood gathering at his feet, falling into thought. Although confident in his abilities, he knew that in combat and war, arrogance could only lead to his downfall. So he decided to test the waters a little more.

"Level 5."

As Kain spoke, the entire arena was bathed in a golden light, causing the corpses and blood of the previous battle to vanish.

Simultaneously, five gates around the massive arena began to shake and open. A symphony of low roars filled the air as five majestic and imposing lionesses emerged from their respective tunnels. Kain hadn't completely suppressed his aura from the previous battle, so his vicious war presence was keenly felt by these beasts and their terrifying instincts. Lions are pack hunters.

While one may be strong alone, a group is where they truly show their terrifying might.

The lionesses let out a few low roars, quickly communicating with each other. This time, they weren't quick to pounce but prowled around Kain in a circle, slowly closing in on him with a terrifying presence. A normal mortal might have gone insane with fear in such a situation, but Kain instead smiled.

[Bloodthirst]

Right iut of the gates Kain activated hsi divine techniques as his crimson eyes brust forth Without hesitation, Kain unleashed his divine technique.

Crimson lightning crackled from his eyes as his aura surged violently. His foot slammed into the ground, shattering it into fragments as he launched himself forward in a blaze of speed. His body blurred red as he raised his sword, slashing toward the lioness directly in front of him!

The lioness barely had time to react, raising her claws in a futile defense.

With the divine fury of god of war coursing through his veins, Kain's sword cut through the air, creating a crimson wave of blood that sprayed through the air like a torrential downpour.

The lioness was hurled backward, but Kain didn't relent. Just as he was about to drive his advantage home, a sudden shift in the air froze him in place.

Spinning around, Kain saw two colossal lionesses attacking from both sides. The arena above erupted in gasps as the students realized the brutal nature of the challenge. This was no longer a simple duel; it was a savage, full-scale battle. If Kain advanced, more would come to restrain him.

For the first time since stepping into the arena, Kain felt a genuine surge of danger. He roared defiantly, his divinity pulsating through his body like a living storm. As his sword clashed with one lioness's claws, his glowing crimson fist met the other's attack head-on.

"Boom!"

"Bang!"

The two lionesses were sent flying backward when another set of growls snapped Kain's attention. The lioness he'd first attacked was charging at him from behind, while two fresh lionesses surged forward, claws bared. Kain's eyes narrowed in realization;

he had underestimated the ferocity of these beasts.

It seemed he needed to fight a little more seriously.

Taking a deep breath, Kain felt the world around him slow to a crawl. As he raised his sword, a profound shift occurred in the arena.

An ominous and ghostly aura descended from Kain's body, enveloping the arena. It felt as if they had been transported to a cruel battlefield haunted by tragic wails and unfulfilled dreams, where the very essence of despair and sorrow flourished and ran rampant.
