Chapter 381: Changes and Bloodline (2)
Translator: Leo Editor: Kurisu
The hardness, heat resistance, tenacity, completeness, different energy conductivity, etc… rows of data kept refreshing in Angele’s sight.
‘Activation simulation started,’ the biochip reported back.
Angele waited for about ten seconds and the flute finally stopped spinning in his sight.
‘Activation method: Fresh blood. Lead your mentality to the third, fifth, and seventh hole.’
Angele remained calm. He raised his left hand and pointed forward with the index finger. The tip of his finger was slashed open and a fresh drop of blood landed on the surface of the flute.
It looked like a chemical reaction occurring as the blood came in contact with the flute. The flute vibrated and dark red flames were released from the holes.
The dark red flames formed several palm-sized mermaids and they started rotating around Angele’s body.
*CHI*
Flames were released from the flute and the mermaids dissipated in the air one by one.
Angele narrowed his eyes as an invisible mentality wave was divided into three parts and the entered the third, fifth, and seventh holes of the flute accurately.
*PA*
Intense dark red flames spurted out of all the opening in the flute; the flames floated in front of Angele, turning into a large mermaid.
Strangely, there was a key in the center of the mermaid’s chest, a golden key that had the texture no different than a normal key’s.
Angele raised his right hand and turned the key around.
*Crack*
The mermaid opened her mouth and released a ray of red light—the light hit Angele’s forehead hard.
Angele leaned backward due to the impact.
The red scorpion mark between his eyebrows appeared and it was absorbing the bright red light.
The information was transferred to his brain.
It took more than half an hour for the mermaid to finish transferring the information to Angele.
*WOO*
The mermaid separated into red flames and returned to the flute.
Angele shook his head. It seemed like he was trying to understand the information that was just sent to his brain.
‘That was refreshing… Such secret technique can only be studied by ancient creatures with pure bloodlines… Although my bloodlines were extracted from the inheritors of the ancient creatures, I can still study the technique…’
There were a lot of thoughts going on in his mind but Angele’s expression did not change.
‘Alright, I’ll skip the confusing part and study the basics first… Maybe I can start practicing it soon…’
Angele grabbed the flute and returned it to the pouch after all the flames were gone. He walked to the left and sat down with his legs crossed.
He closed his eyes tight and sat in the quiet reading room. The two bloodline signets on his chest were releasing eye-blinding red light.
The red light turned into strings of energy and started rotating around Angele’s body.
Time flew. The two signets on Angele’s chest started merging into each other several hours later.
The black metal robe slowly melted on Angele’s body and it was absorbed by his skin.
Seconds later, the two bloodline signets completely merged into each other; they turned into a blurry red meatball and it looked like there was a small balloon on Angele’s chest.
The red meatball released countless blood veins that looked like tree roots. They quickly covered Angele’s whole body.
Ten minutes later, Angele was covered by the terrifying blood veins—including his face.
The blood coming out of the red meatball was being transported inside Angele’s body through the blood veins.
The meatball looked like Angele’s second heart; it was bumping quickly.
Angele already lost his consciousness but he could still feel the constant pain coming from the skin. It felt like he was being stabbed by thousands of sharp needles.
He got used to the pain quickly as he had survived countless dangerous battles in recent years. Angele was no longer the young man that could not handle the pain.
He had no idea how long had passed, but he could feel the pain leaving.
Angele opened his eyes again and he noticed that the room turned into a mess.
It looked like all the objects in the reading room were blown to the ground by a strong wind. Some weak containers like the glass beakers and test tubes hit the walls or the floor—they broke into pieces and there was colorful liquid everywhere.
Angele slowly stood up from the floor and his feet numbed as he sat on the floor for too long.
He could feel the itchiness coming from his head and the center of his eyebrows. Angele looked at his chest—the red meatball already disappeared and the two bloodline signets were no longer there.
He raised his right hand and held the fist tight. It felt like his body was lightened for some reason.
‘This is… strength… the pure strength of my physical body…’ Angele noticed that his body looked different and he could feel the energy from inside.
Angele waved his right hand after the numbness disappeared from his feet.
The silver metal liquid slowly formed a mirror in front of him.
“What the…” Angele was surprised.
The man in the mirror looked completely different.
Angele’s face remained the same but there were two tiny cracks at the place where his eyebrows should be. They looked like a pair of eyes that were closed and there was golden light leaking out of the cracks.
Also, a dark red horn appeared on top of his head. It was still growing between his long red hair.
Angele’s body was much stronger than before. He looked like a barbarian that just left the snow mountains in the mirror.
He touched his new “eyebrows” and discovered that they had similar texture to his eyelids.
‘Interesting… But what will happen if I return to the main world… will my body stay in this form?’
‘Zero, have you finished checking my body?’
‘The two ancient bloodlines merged into each other and the impurities were removed. Your attributes are increasing at a fast rate…’
‘Angele Rio, Strength 21.2, Agility 18.5, Stamina 32.0, Mentality 157.1, Mana 157.2, Fire Resistance 247 degrees, other resistance 104 degrees. Gene limit reached. Healthy. Bloodline signet ability has been turned into Talent Ability,’ Zero reported back quickly.
‘That’s crazy…’ Angele gasped. His Strength was increased to 21 from 15 and his Agility was increased to 18 from 11. The Mentality was increased by 30 points and the Stamina was increased by more than 10.
Angele’s new attributes were terrifying… He was certain that he could handle the fire spells casted by rank 2 wizards just with his physical body. He could just stand there and wait for the opponent to use up all his mentality and mana.
He waved his right hand again and the metal mirror disappeared.
Angele’s expression turned serious, it seemed like he was thinking about something.
Seconds later, he pressed the center of his chest and his body disappeared from the room.
*********************************
Main world, in the mansion beside the Ness River.
Angele’s body slowly appeared in the reading room.
He quickly created another silver mirror as he regained his physical form.
The man in the mirror looked just like a normal human being.
Angele tightened his fist—the only thing that changed were his attributes. Also, he noticed that he could no longer activate the abilities of the bloodline signet in the main world. It seemed like something was preventing him from doing so.
It seemed like there was a mysterious power interrupting his bloodline ability.
The ability of the musical note and the memory scan from the eye-shaped signet already turned into his talent ability. However, he had not fully activated the eye-shaped signet yet.
‘Why is the Nightmare Realm different from the main world?’ Angele was confused.
He walked the window. The glass was blocked by the curtain and only several rays of golden sunlight passed through the gap between the curtain and the window. Angele moved the curtain to the side and peeked outside. He saw Lyn talking to a new maid they just hired—the female wizard was wearing a long black dress. She noticed Angele’s sight and raised her head.
Angele nodded at Lyn through the window, he lowered the curtain and returned to the center of the room. He then pressed on his chest again.
*CHI*
Red light flashed in front of his eyes.
He returned to the Nightmare Realm again and there was red mist in the air.
Angele created the metal mirror again, the horn appeared on top of his head and his eyebrows were replaced by two eyes.
He looked in the mirror and started thinking.
‘The merging of the bloodlines was the result of studying the basics of the inheritor’s secret technique. The bloodlines I used were extracted properly and the method I used was simple. There was no point for the creator of the technique to write down fake information. I’m sure that the different environment is the reason why my appearance changed…’ Angele was trying to find out what was happening to his body.
‘Sadly, Henn is studying the Thousand Shadow Orb right now, otherwise, I could ask her about the situation.’ Angele shook his head slightly.
High-rank wizards could spend years to study a rare item and Henn had not talked him for months.
The good thing was that Henn’s mentality wave was covered by the Thousand Shadow Orb and that was the reason why the shadow lord did not go for Angele.
Angele licked his lips and there was a strange sulfurous taste in his mouth. He was a bit surprised and opened his mouth.
He saw that there were countless sharp teeth in his mouth through the mirror. The teeth had the shape of a crocodile’s teeth and there was white light reflecting on them.
