Yep, that was definitely blood. But why?
Renan's mind raced through the possibilities. It didn't entirely make sense to him. Blood wasn't so easily smelled unless it was shed in large quantities. That was especially the case given that he was still descending stairs, not even capable of seeing the blood yet.
There was also no reason to be spilling blood. Even if it were the case that there was some sort of human sacrifice or blood magic, it certainly wasn't something that could be learned and used effectively in so little time.
Power wasn't gained so easily. It may seem that way to the players, who could simply gain levels through EXP, but no one on earth had a system, did they?
One could not be strengthened enough to perform magic as advanced as human sacrifice rituals could not be done in a simple year or two, especially in an environment on earth.
