Humans souls can grow to extraordinary degrees. They can grow to a level of supernatural, wield odd aspects, place themselves near divinity and maybe even acquire Godhood.
However, to achieve that one needs to clear a set goal placed on my the soul of the human. Every soul is unique and every soul desires a different goal to be achieved.
In Lust for Blood's case, his soul need war. A Never ending war to grow to unlock that goal. And he is not shy about it at all.
His abilities are quite simple from the outside, the more he kills and take part in the bloodshed. He will grow stronger, more agile and heals any wound that he would receive. But there's more to it.
Souls of humans aren't something that wants to make the person be a better version of themselves. Souls just give a path that is related to the nature of the human. There is no good or evil for an intangible soul.
Souls can either be perfect or imperfect. Only two paths. Nor is bad or good.
Now towards the Lust for blood again, it is established that bloodshed and war will make him stronger. But it will also surges his emotions, feelings and his internal humanity to stir. So when he say that it's like an orgasmic feeling then it is really that kind of reaction.
And right now, he can't get enough of the blood and gore.
His body is severely damaged and the armor he wore is barely on him. He is quite hurt but from his smile it is hard to decern if he is actually hurt or not. Perhaps, he's just enjoying it.
Devil spawns are being cut open in brutal ways with the mundane sword in the hands of a human who is nothing short of devil himself. Guts and blood are outside the disturbing bodies of devil spawns.
Each time he cuts a devil open a new type of organ or inner working is revealed to him. Every devil spawn is an unique creature. He would probably feel a sense of curiosity if his mind wasn't so excited to jump and cut even more of these Devil spawns.
But there is a voice in his ears that just keep on nagging about something over and over again. Maybe he should just burst his ear drums but then he won't be able to hear the screams of his victims. Such a predicament.
"Just answer my damn question, you pervert. What the hell are you doing here?"
Her voice is sharp and really irritated. He's been ignoring her for the past few hours but he even doesn't have that much endurance.
'maybe I should really burst my ear drums..'
Then the voice become even louder. Forcing him to answer.
"Hey, it's Miss Shiny. How's the weather?"
Shiny replies. Her voice sounds quite angry.
"I am going to kill you when you get back. What the hell are you even doing near the area of a flesh storm. Get back here and let me strangle you."
War stabs the eye of one head of a two headed devil spawn. Forcing the devil to be at an arms length. The second head is really trying its hardest to bite down into his flesh. War just smiles darkly.
"but I am busy right now, can't you see?"
She answers with a curse and activates her soul ability. Suddenly, an eye with gold iris pops out of the back side of his left hands. Giving her the ability to see whatever is happening and she didn't like what she saw.
"Half a day. For only half a day I left you like alone. And where do I find you? Inside of the death zone. And even worse, the flesh storm is gone. I would have to answer so many people cause of him. Why? Why do you love making my life a living hell. I just wanted to rest. Was that too much to ask for? Of course, it was. This is just too much. War, I am- ah"
She screams.
The two headed devil forceable severed its second head and lunges at the left hand of War. It gave up on everything and went for the last resort. Biting down into the left hand where Shiny's eye was located. It hurt her a lot.
War quickly take off his sword from the severed head and shove it inside of the abomination's mouth. With few seconds of struggle, he manages to kill the Devil and get his hand back out. The sword is almost broken now and unusable. The golden eye is bleeding but not too much. It will heal with time.
He whispers.
"Not my fault.."
And so, after releasing himself. He dodges other abominations and races towards the giant Devil spawn that he can see from so far away and it is calling him. The call of war.
He avoids most of the devil spawns. Uses his damaged mundane sword to attack if necessary to make distance between him and them. It was fun fighting small fries but now his desires are increasing for even more. Something bigger and stronger.
He smiles and laughs a little.
Then the voice of Shiny comes back. This time her voice sounded even more exasperated and little fragile.
"Why didn't you hide your hand from that devil? You know, how much it hurt when your eye gets bitten by a devil? And I heard that. You did it intentionally, didn't you?"
While running at high speed towards his goal. He says.
"whaaat? No way. I'm not a prophet. How would I even know that it would bite my left hand? It was my arm too, you know. My hand is hurt too."
She curses him and asks something else.
"Whatever, now tell me what are you doing? Where are you running towards…?"
He smiles and just looks at the huge abomination.
"the war is calling me, Miss Shiny. And I am going to answer it."
Shiny curses bitterly. Being around War really makes her wanna curse again and again. She hope it won't becomes a habit or maybe it is already to late for that.
As she is cursing. War has reached his destination. A devil spawn that is towering over the other abomination. It possess five arms that are like massive tree branches. In the middle of it all, there's a cavity that opened itself to reveal thousands of sharp teeth. however, the most noticeable feature perhaps is its roots? That are deep underground. Spreading far above and as much as below. It seem to be the cause of these fissures.
This abomination is the one who is calling him for war. He smiles and throw away his damaged mundane sword. Then he calls upon the weapon that is stored within his soul. A strange light cut through his chest and turns into the hilt of a sword.
But there is time before it can fulling emerge out of his body. So he just grabs the unfinished hilt of a sword and runs into the Devil spawn. Hitting the devil with the unfinished sword.
Even though the blade isn't even completed yet, it still end up causing a lot of damage to the devil's body.
The Devil roars and moves its massive body to attack the man that landed in front of him. He smiles at the abomination with absolute glee.
