Mike awoke, slowly at first but then he remembered what he needed to do during the day and got up from the bed, he was alone in the inn room as Julie was in the dungeon, she was heading up and was due to arrive sometime this morning so he wanted to come and receive her, they had been in the city of Allmark for about a month now, and Julie had been making headway on reaching level 7, she only needed a few more dungeon runs to make it to level 7, this was a testament to the effort she put in and also in part thanks to the time she spent in the Helia family where she had honed her technique instead of her level, Mike got out of bed and walked over into the bathroom and looked into the mirror and was stunned
"Wait… What the fuck?"
Mike reached up to his face, his right eye was looking a little strange, the white of his eye was turning blue, that is to say, that his sclera was turning blue, Mike closed his right eye and touched his eyelid, there was no pain, then after a few moments he shrugged
"Welp… Julie is more important than my eye turning blue… Yep"
Mike brushed his teeth and got dressed before he walked out of the door, behind him Azroth and a horned werewolf in human form, formed up on him, soon he heard Azroth's voice in his head
[Master]
"Yeah?"
[The attack on the Slaverunners were successful, they brought back a couple of prisoners yesterday after you went to bed]
"Oh~ Nice, I'll play with them later, go watch over them so they don't run away"
[Yes master]
Azroth disappeared leaving Mike and the horned werewolf in human form that just happened to be the former pirate captain Frey, Mike liked to have her around for the sole reason that she smelled better than the rest of his servants, not because she was pretty (though scared) woman, he only had eyes for Julie after all
"Mike~"
Mike looked over and saw a group of his servants along with Julie, they had just left the dungeon after a 7-day trip, but they didn't look tired, they silently bowed their heads to Mike that gave them some metal commands before he turned to Julie and smiled
"What happened to your eye, Mike?"
"Donno~"
"... Take this a little serious will you?"
"Yeah, but I don't know… I just woke up like this today, anyway let's go to the temple"
"Sure…"
Mike took Julie's arm and the two of them walked side by side for some time until Julie broke the silence
"Nothing's wrong right Mike?"
"Nope, there's no pain so it's fine… It's just a little odd that's all, besides I think I know what's causing it"
"Oh?"
"The elder blood"
"Ah… Yeah, I can see that"
"Yep… I am about half elder blood now so it's not strange that somethings will change…"
"I see… Well as long as it makes you stronger I have no issues"
"Yeah, me neither"
Soon the three of them arrived at the temple where Julie walked into a prayer room and checked her status, soon she returned looking half disappointed and half vexed
"What is it?"
"...promise you won't laugh?"
"Sure"
"... I am one point away from reaching level 7"
Mike smiled, though he didn't laugh, still Julie pouted when she saw his smile, though Mike quickly soothed her over by saying he had a present for her
"Really?"
"Yeah, Azroth brought back some prisoners yesterday, you can have one of them"
"Thanks, Mike, I luv you~"
"Yeah yeah…"
Mike and the very happy Julie walked out of the temple with Frey following after them in silence soon they arrived at the outskirts of the city and walked into a private warehouse, Mike had used control on the owner, as for the reason he didn't use his enormous sum of cash to buy up the firm was simple, he was in an open war with the Slaverunners, so it wasn't in his best interest to get found before he wanted to
"Well well well… Look what the wolves dragged in…"
Mike looked at the three people that were bound and gagged in front of him, one was a young woman, the two others were men in their 30's they all stated at Mike with fierce hatred, ever since the bombing of their headquarters, which left 38 people dead, the whole of Slaveruners had begun hunting after Mike, but so far they had not managed to locate him after all the continent was big and they were although a large one, only a faction
"Which one do you want Julie dear?"
Julie's eyes passed over the three people before it stopped on the young woman
"Hmm… The woman"
"Well that's fair, have fun"
A red light flashed in Julie's eyes as she licked her lip and dragged off the young woman by the hair
"Now… Gentlemen… Why don't we skip to the part where you are helpful?"
Mike drew the knife and swiped it over the two men's noses before he muttered
"[Control]"
Then he signaled his other servants to ungag them and listened to the information they had before he sent off some mental messages to his other servants adjusting the plan slightly, halfway though Julie returned, she looked happy so the young woman was unlikely to still be alive, Mike smiled at her and asked
"How was it?"
"It was okay"
Mike could see on her expression that it was more than just 'okay' but still he just kept his smile

"Are you done here, Mike?"
"Yeah… I am done"
"So let's go?"
"Sure"
Mike stood up and muttered "[Decimate]" before he walked out of the warehouse with Julie as his newly acquired servants were erased from existence
'Can't keep all the pets around I find… Besides they were only level 3 and 4, so not likely to be useful anytime soon… That and it would be bad if anyone recognized them'
Mike walked towards the temple with Julie, the two of them window shopped and stopped to eat at a cafe on the way there so they were only there in the evening, Mike walked in along with Julie to the prayer room where she put her hand on the crystal ball that soon displayed her status

Julie quickly clicked the Y and after closing her eyes for a few moments where Mike felt her strength increase exponentially she opened her eyes again and turned to Mike with a smile on her face
"Now I am level 7 too"
Mike showed a rare genuine smile as he spoke
"Congratulations"
"I'll see what skill I got"
Julie touched the crystal ball again and soon it displayed her status

Class: Demon bride
Age: 33
Level: 7(8)
Skills: [Judgment] [Hell walker] [Valkyrie sword] [Hellsword] [Lesser blood demon] [Blood hunger] [Demon wings]

Julie looked at the new skill [Demon wings] and clicked on it
[Demon wings]
Type: Active
Description: Allows the user to summon a pair of wings from hell. Various applications. Consumes nothing, but might change the user's outlook on life
"What the hell does it mean 'might change the user's outlook on life'?"
Mike also narrowed his eyes slightly, he thought this might have to have something to do with the fact that he had changed her class to [Demon bride], then he asked
"Will you still love me?"
"Of course Mike… But---"
"Then nothing else matters to me"
Julie looked conflicted for a moment before she nodded as a red light passed through her eyes before she spoke
"Yeah nothing else really matters"
Mike smiled and then after waiting for the crystal ball to reset the two of them walked out of the prayer room, on the way back to the reception hall Mike asked
"Oh right, what does your skill [Blood hunger] do?"
"Oh that… It raises my attributes the more blood-hungry I am"
"I see… Well, it's always a small bonus in that case, right?"
"Yeah…"
The two of them walked out onto the streets, it was night by now and the moon was out in full force, Mike looked up and asked Julie
"Why don't we take a midnight flight?"'
Julie's eyes lit up before she nodded and spoke
"Sure!"
Then she stepped a little away from Mike and muttered
"[Demon wings]"
Then wings that looked as if they were cut out of the darkest night sky appeared behind Julie, she showed a smile as she felt them for a moment before she flapped them ever so gently and took flight, Mike smiled and summoned his wing's of blood before he followed Julie up into the night sky
