Blood Assimilation

Chapter 364: Consumer of Blood Knowledge

Meanwhile...

Liena and Brawler Randy had finally dug a hole, deciding to place the bodies of the Flame Werewolves in it. At this moment, Liena stood at the side as Brawler Randy decided to drain their blood using his Blood Siphon technique.

Liena, having witnessed this technique once before when she met Randy in Meistic Forest, didn’t refute his suggestion as she assumed it had something to do with his power acquisition. However, before Brawler Randy could execute his technique, he suddenly felt a jolt in his entire being as he was suddenly encased in an ethereal glow that caused Liena to become alert.

She didn’t remember observing such an effect when he used his skill before. Observing his vacant expression as he stared into space, Liena became concerned.

"Hey, are you all right?" She inquired, feeling that Brawler Randy’s state was rather strange. His eyes seemed to have lost their light as if he had lost their consciousness while standing.

"..."

Hearing no response from him, Liena cautiously approached him. When she was near him, she reached out to touch his shoulder. At this moment, Brawler Randy seemed to have snapped out of his daze and turned to look at her with a listless and apathetic expression, causing Liena to feel uncomfortable.

"I’m all right." Brawler Randy said with a smile on his face, life returning to his gaze. Liena breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his lively expression, realizing that nothing had happened to him.

"What was that all about?" She asked, examining him from head to toe. She felt something different about him, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.

"Nothing, I just seemed to have developed a new skill." Brawler Randy said, perplexing her. Brawler Randy didn’t elaborate and merely observed the words on the system’s display before him.

[[Your main body has made changes in your status]]

[[Your status as an ’Incarnation’ has been changed to an ’Avatar’, allowing a transformation to occur to your body]]

[[Due to the change, you can now possess all the states of your main body presently, including the combat strength and power level]]

Continue your journey with empire

[[Unfortunately, you don’t possess an energy vessel, missing out on the increment of energy and power level.]]

[An error has been discovered in your constitution]]

[[Due to the transformation brought on by the status, your body has somehow evolved a catalyst of a unique trait that matches the current state of your body.]]

[[The Unique Skill, [Consumer of Blood Knowledge], has been developed with the help of the system]]

[[Consumer of Blood Knowledge]]

[[Type: Unique Skill]]

[[Effect: With a voracious appetite, consume the blood, converting their blood knowledge into random attributes for your growth.]]

[[Description: A trait born from the deepest desire of your body. Although instinctive in nature, it has been brought to fruition thanks to the system using the evolutionary energy of your status upgrade]]

Brawler Randy was thrilled by these messages. He seemed to have discovered a secret to get stronger that only he could utilize due to the strange physique he possessed.

Although he didn’t like his main body’s way of life, he couldn’t help but appreciate the present development that had not only increased his physical attributes but also cured his physique’s issue that had been bugging him all this time. Without hesitation, he decided to activate his unique skill to witness its effect.

He executed the Blood Siphon technique, draining all the blood from the bodies of the Flame Werewolves. Then, he immediately absorbed the blood into his body by opening his mouth and swallowing the stream of blood with a delightful expression.

He didn’t need to worry about not having enough space in his body as he still has the Blood Spaces within his body, allowing him to possess more blood in his body than normal. Liena watched the scene with a shocked expression.

She didn’t think Brawler Randy would swallow the blood, let alone a stream of blood into his body with any discomfort. Such a demonic scene made her retreat a few steps as she began to doubt whether Brawler Randy was a demon in disguise.

However, despite her thoughts, she didn’t attempt to run away. After all, if Brawler Randy had been a demon, he would have already killed her as demons were ruthless and unfeeling when taking the lives of humans they deemed inferior.

Meanwhile…

The moment Brawler Randy swallowed the stream of blood, he immediately activated his unique skill.

[Consumer of Blood Knowledge]

As the name implied, the blood knowledge contained within the blood he devoured was consumed immediately in a voracious manner by a strange force in his body, converting it into pure, unadulterated energy for him to utilize. This energy could transform into any attribute he lacked, drastically improving his overall strength. It was similar to gaining permanent stats by consuming certain items in a video game.

[You have consumed the blood knowledge of multiple flame werewolves]

[After conversion, your strength attributes have improved by a small margin]

[Due to consuming the blood knowledge of the same species continuously, building up the concentration of bloodline, you have gained the racial trait, Flame Governor.]

[[Flame Governor]]

[[Type: Trait]]

[[Effect: Controlling flame becomes natural and doesn’t consume any energy as your body automatically attracts flames. However, consuming energy would increase the intensity of the flames.]]

Brawler Randy was beaming when he noticed that other than the permanent basic stats he gained, he also gained an unexpected reward.

Racial Trait.

Judging by the name, it seemed to have been derived from the Flame Werewolves. As they possess a natural skill to manipulate flames, their racial skill was also related to fire.

Observing all the changes in his body, he felt exhilarated. He turned around and picked up the petit Liena, throwing her into the sky. However, Liena’s figure disappeared mid-air when she was thrown into the sky.

Pah!

Through the shadows, her figure appeared behind Brawler Randy, slapping the back of his head in anger. Afterward, she began hurling curses at him for his random antics.

"What’s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly pick me up like a doll and throw me into the sky? Are you crazy? If you do that again, I swear it won’t be my hand but dagger when I retaliate."

"Okay, okay. I’m sorry, alright? I was just excited just now." Brawler Randy said dismissively with a smile plastered on his face.

"Alright, let’s bury them and get out of here." He suggested, turning to the dried-up corpses of the flame werewolves strewn on the ground.
