After a bit of time, I drained all the corpse of my foes, there, not a single drop of blood has been wasted, I drank it all, then a strange icon appears Infront of my eyes
[Drain Activated, Extraction Completed consumed eight liters of blood]
I drank exactly eight liters of blood, it is directly stored in my own body, and yet, their blood was unexpectedly delicious, similar to the blood of an spider queen, Through I overcome it, the blood curse once again set me into delirium with estacy, I wiped the blood from my mouth with my sleeve,
There I used inspect to view my Blood Curse

[ 30L/ 20L= + 1000 vitality](completed)

Upon seeing the blood curse's progression, I was dumbfounded to discover my skill, I was now ready for the second evolution, Phase 2
[ Successfully drank 30 liters, ready for second evolution]
As the hologram appeared Infront of my very own eyes, I felt an instant surge, I knelt on the ground due to the instant change
As I stood knee-deep in the masked man corpses, I felt a strange warmth suffuse my body, like new strength was blooming at me, There with a flash of inspect, I was bound to see the results
[ Evolution Completed: Phase 2]

Sucking blood will regenerate both mana and health,
Specialized flavor was added to any kind of blood,
Control the urges of craving blood willingly,
Attributes obtained:+1000 vitality, +200 strength, +1000 mana
After I overcome my second evolution, my body feels strange, like a dog that wanders freely, it was comfortable at first, unlocking new attributes from my blood curse made my skill very useful, there I studied and checked the blood curse again,
[30L/50L= evolution for Phase 3]

[ 30L/ 45L= +300 agility]
I was surprised to see my second evolution changed my progress bar, I needed fifty liters to achieve my third evolution, from which it sound intriguing at first, but knowing that I need to kill some living creatures to gain blood, it is fairly easy enough to drain blood,
Also, my taste from blood has also been improved, I can already tell that I have an addiction from blood, because I have an improve taste, my blood consuming powers will be strengthen, since my blood curse feeds natural blood,
By consuming the body, my taste buds was tingling from the sweet flavor, but the power of my second evolution does the job, I can control my craving from my blood willingly, meaning I can maintain my diet after that,
But at that moment, one of my guild members holding a sword that was pointing at me, the blade was running through my neck, barely grazed and showed mild bleeding,
"Hey vice-leader, what the hell is that?, sucking blood is not normal for a human like you"
The boy is one of the members of the Yellow Flower Guild, he wore a fully decked out, lightweight armor with punctuated bright cape, To be honest, his attire stuck me as gaudy and tasteless, I never met him before, but he clearly knows me name,
"Oh my where do I even start, don't point that blade from me, I'm the vice-leader"
The boy sheathed his sword, knowing I'm her vice-leader, he decided to follow orders from my mouth, and he questions me about my strange ability,
"Lady Roxy, tell me clearly, why did you drain that person body, is it delicious?, is it your fangs?" he said unable to restrain a chuckle
Clearing the air was going to take longer than I thought it would, so we sat down at a nearby rock and told the boy about my Blood Curse skill, right from the very beginning
" This is my human skill, The Blood Curse, it is the ability to drain blood, in exchange from drinking blood, I will grant new abilities… simple as that,"
There were some misunderstandings, but eventually I managed to explain to the boy what I happened earlier, when he spotted me drinking blood, where he found it weird and intriguing, and the boy understood, and I breath a sigh of relief now that he know the truth
"Hey, can you keep this as a secret?, I don't want to know my guild about my powers" I said
Then, the boy nodded, then he stood up and straight up introduced himself,
"Vice-leader, I am Luke, I'm a bronze-ranked adventurer, your secret is safe from me"
After that, Luke introduces himself, I sensed a side of Luke that he is vaguely similar to that one guildmember in the manor, a timid boy named Luck, I asked him a question
"Luke, are you related to Luck, that blond haired boy, he is similar to you, though"
Then, Luke nodded once again, confirming that Luck is related to Luke, I pointed out it is his brother, or his cousin
"So, both of you are brothers, am I right?"
"Yes, were twins, I am the older brother, while Luck is the youngest of them all,"
While Luke and I are began conversating in a rock, I saw some of our guildmembers were awoken from their unconscious, in a black figure uphill, I saw two member that was awoken up healthy, I decided to approached them
"Uh…uh.. Vice-leader is that you?"
"Yes, it is indeed our vice-leader, look at her eyes,"
As he stood up, he greeted me with all their might, they were kind to me, saving them from the invading men that was attacked, they thanked me from saving their lives
"Lady Roxy, thank you for saving us, My name is Leonhard, bronze-ranked adventurer"
That man is named Leonhard, I recognized by its handsome face and it's redded long hair, he has a tanned skin and a spiteful apperance, much like I'm expected
Then I eyed at Leonhard, seeing his face full of determination, despite it's muscular body, he is only an bronze-ranked adventurer, a weaker teammate, the only difference was his tattoo covered in his face, It clashed in it's otherwise kind features, then we shooked hands,
"Lady Roxy, it's nice to meet you, I'm Veer, bronze-ranked adventurer, thank you for saving us,"
The girl beside Leonhard was a short girl with a chestnut hair, she was timid and polite, much like Luck's attitude, she shook my hand in desperation, repeatedly saying "Thank you" multiple times, like Mya and I first met in the forest
"Thank you, Thank you, Lady Roxy, from now on I will give loyalty to you"
Veer was just a weirdly kind person, she trusts my will instantly, much as I expected, she was much a loyal, or specifically, a trusted partner, while at her surroundings were pure chaos, despite being an bronze-ranked adventurer
Luke, Leonhard and Veer was the first to awoken up from their unconscious, While our leader, White was still not awoken up, it is likely because of the lack of mana from her body, thus her body weakens, After a specific period of time, we happened to spot an carriage nearby in the crossroads
There, I called the nearby carriage, it was belonged to the merchant nearby, The merchant inside the carriage spotted our guild, lying unconscious in the middle of the path, there we confronted the merchant
"Sir, can you bring my allies to Town Allure, I will give you cash if you agree"
"Okay, how many are they?"
"More than nine members from our guild, take them to Town Allure, I will pay the commute"
"Sure"
The negotiation was successful, we can bring our injured guildmembers safely back to the manor, there, I contributed the payment as promised, fifty silver,
After the merchant agreed in our deal, I tasked the strongest members from our guild, Luke and Leonhard will do the task easily
"Luke.. Leonhard, carry our injured allies to the wagon, lay them flat on the floor, this will be an hour trip to Town Allure"
Then, the two boys responded with a "Okay" at the end of the sentence, seems that they understood their orders from their vice-leader, from which is me, Roxy,
While the boys were busy carrying the injured onto the wagon, Veer and I headed to collect some of their artillery that was scattered on the ground, including their swords, axes and bows that was left out there, we placed their weapons at the back side of the wagon, it is safely stored,
"Ugh, this axe is heavy" Veer said
"Gimme that, I carry it, Whose axe is this anyway?"
"I think it belonged to Leonhard, he wields a giant axe,"
The axe that I was holding is larger and heavier than I expected, it belonged to Leonhard, but I managed to carry this six-foot axe due to my current stats, from which I showed no signs of struggling
"Wait, you can carry that thing?" Veer said
"It's not as heavy as I thought it would,"
"But that axe weigh over a hundred pounds!"
Veer was surprised to see that I can carry this axe very well, ever since my second evolution, my strength began to increase rapidly, I can carry a huge amount of weight I can physically can, despite my slim body
While I was carrying an iron axe, Leonhard saw me and was astonished, he praised me from handling his large axe
"Lady Roxy, how did you manage to carry that thing?, it's over seventy pounds!"
"Uh… strength I guess"
"Give me that thing, before you hurt yourself,"
Based from my observation, it seems that my stats were higher than Leonhard's, in other words, I didn't need to check my stats to know his power was nothing compared to mine,
There, I handed the seventy pound axe back to Leonhard, instead of his strength, he showed signs of struggling from carrying that axe, but it's muscular physique made it's strength more of an hoax
After sometime, we finally accomplished our task, Veer and I delivered the weapons to the wagon, while the injured survivors were finally saved and safely recovered, they are placed inside the wagon, along the leader of the guild, White
From there, Luke, Leonhard, Veer and I sat at the front seat, where the merchant was sitting beside the guild, I successfully paid fifty silver coins back to the merchant, it's face tells otherwise,
After that, we headed out to the Town Allure
