Chapter 185- Blood
In the room, Henry is looking at the mirror and his face had full of confidence. He fixed his clothes and then murmured, “Why is he not here yet? He only needs to kill an insect tsk. Maybe he is just taking his time to enjoy”
Henry didn’t mind him going anywhere to enjoy himself, but they are executing their final plan today, so he was a bit irritated that Damian is not taking their mission seriously. He told him they can enjoy their time after they completed their task because their life is on the line if they fail here. Demons are unruly creatures and don’t like to obey others, but they cannot disobey their lord’s command.
He was angry right now but he suddenly heard a knock on the door so he said, “Enter”
Clank!
The door opened then a maid enters the room and bowed to Henry and said, “Prince Henry, the Generals, and many high officials are now waiting in the hall”
Henry nodded and smiled at the maid. The maid blushed as Henry’s reputation to the Clan is good and he was known for being kind and gentle. Many females had a crush on Henry, but Henry didn’t show any affection to anyone.
“I will be there in a minute so you can now leave”
Henry said then the maid hurriedly left the room. After the maid leaves, Henry’s smile disappears and turns into a serious face. “Fvck you, Damian, so be it, I will do it on my own”
He then leaves the room and now heading towards the hall.
……..
Dave follows the direction where his skill, <<Treasure Guide>> is pointing him. He easily bypasses everyone as he is concealing himself and he heard from Ronin that many strong figures are gathering in one place. Ronin said that today is the day of voting for who is the one who fits to be the next clan leader. Henry and Haslem would fight for it by showing their skills not just in fighting but in managing the clan. Of course, Harrold is excluded as everyone knew that he didn’t have a chance to win against his older brothers.
Dave decided that this was the perfect chance for him to roam in the castle, so he left Ivy in the room together with Damian to secure her safety while Ronin is keeping an eye on what is happening in the hall.
Dave took 3 minutes to reach where the <Treasure Guide> was directing him and he only saw a wall and there was no other path. Dave used his <Ancestral Eyes> to see if there was a hidden passage there and he saw a room behind the wall. Dave didn’t hesitate as he used <Permeation> as he passed through the wall and Dave entered the room.
Dave scanned the room and saw a drop of black blood floating in the air, and it was protected by a 9 star-formation. Dave scanned the blood, and he can feel the strong energy it was emitting. Dave was happy at first because when he entered the castle, the <Treasure Guide> shines brightly and he knew that there was an opportunity for him. It was not the same intensity as getting the <Heavenly Ice Fragment> but it was still a treasure that is beneficial to him.
=====
<Blood of Immortal>
Description: A drop of blood of King Dracula from the blood race.
====
Dave was stunned and he didn’t expect that it was the blood of an Immortal. He didn’t know why it was here, but he will not pass this opportunity to get it.
“System, is it safe to absorb the blood?”
[Answering the host, the system noticed that this blood could be absorbed if you spend Sin Points like when you absorb the Heavenly Ice Fragment. Your body cannot handle the blood, but it was possible with the system.]
[Note: This blood comes from a strong one so it would require many Sin Points]
Dave smiled and he knew that this blood could elevate his power once again. He felt that his luck was good that he would encounter a Blood of an Immortal while he only wanted to snatch some treasures.
Dave cleared his thoughts and scanned the formation. He never thought that someone in the Beasts World could create a 9-star formation, so he really underestimated them. He was now considered a 9-star formation master because he got that reward in the tower so it was not a problem for him to remove it, but it would take time.
…
“Tsk, it took me a minute to remove it”
Dave was not satisfied with that speed but if someone knew what he did, they would surely treat him as a god and wanted to prostrate to him to accept them as his disciple because it was impossible even for a 9-star formation master to remove a complicated formation in just a minute.
After the formation was removed, the energy of the blood suddenly rushed towards him, and Dave was prepared for this, so he again activated <Permeation> so all the energy was just passing through him and he was unaffected. This skill had many uses if he just utilized and studied it properly, but the system said that it was not a perfect skill and there are many ways to counter it. He also created an Isolation barrier for others to not notice what is happening here.
Dave immediately said, “System, absorb it now”
…..
[Processing]
[Total Sin Points: 5 quintillion]
[Deducting 1 Quintillion Sin Points for absorbing the blood]
…
Dave immediately saw the blood enter his body and he felt intense heat he never felt before. “Arghh”
Dave was in pain right now and he didn’t expect that it was a painful process. “Fvck System, you always never warned me about this”
“Argghh”
Blood was coming from his eyes, mouth, and ears and Dave never felt this kind of pain in his entire life. It was more painful than when he first took the process of evolution. He felt that his blood was draining out of his body, and it was being replaced by black blood.
Dave endures the pain until he doesn’t realize that he lost consciousness and falls to the ground.
