Burglar System: Stealing Ancient Dragon God Bloodline from the Very Start

Chapter 26: Stealing the Devil's Curse, Kiss from the Lady

As expected!

Upon hearing the cold mechanical voice in his mind.

William then realized. Just physical contact was not enough. He needed the person to tell him the name of the Endowed Supernatural Ability to trigger the stealing.

"Ding, [ Devil's Eye of Hell ] detected. Host, do you want to steal it?"

"... Abnormal fluctuations detected! Host, please pay attention. A curse from the devil is detected. Host, please stay away. The cursed person is plagued by bad luck!"

William did not worry at all upon hearing the system's notification. On the contrary, he smirked.

As expected of the Stealing System, everything could be stolen!

William praised in his heart.

Seeing William's strange smile as he held her hand, it was as if he was a pervert. She was so scared that her hair stood on end. She was a little puzzled. Why did she feel that he was a different person after going to the wilderness? 

Then she realized that William was grabbing her tightly just as she was about to pull her hand back. She could not pull her hand back.

She could not help feeling shocked. After all, she had awakened her Endowed Supernatural Ability for a year. Her strength had also reached Level 7 of Supernal Rank. She had 700 catties of strength under her full strength, yet she could not even pull her hand back. What kind of Endowed Supernatural Ability did William awaken?

William did not know what Vilya was thinking. He was still communicating with the system.

"System! Can you remove the Devil's Curse?"

"Ding! At the current stage of the system, I am unable to remove the Devil's Curse."

"Then, can you steal the Devil's Curse?"

William tried to ask. He did not know why an orphan would be cursed by the devil, but the curse had been lingering around Vilya for too long. William was worried that she would not be able to hold on, but stealing it was not a big deal. At most, he would sleep a little lesser. He would speed up the stealing and strengthen himself then. He would be able to suppress this curse.

It was not a devil visiting himself personally. It was just a curse.

That was what William thought.

'Ding! Host, you can steal it, but the system needs to remind you that the Devil's Curse will attract devils as the host's strength increases. Host, you need to choose carefully.'

A cold and lifeless mechanical voice sounded.

William hesitated for a second, but still chose to steal it.

Because Vilya was one of the few friends he had and because the Stealing System had given him a lot of confidence. How could Vilya endure it if even he, who had the Stealing System, could not resist the Devil's Curse?

Was he going to sit and do nothing seeing his friend being taken away by the devil?

"Stealing..."

The scene in front of him changed, and a shriveled scarlet giant hand appeared before William's eyes. No one else could see the giant hand except for him.

The giant hand's fingernails scraped on Vilya's body. A pitch-black ball of light with pentagram marks on it was scraped out and floated on the giant hand.

Then, unlike what William had thought, the pitch-black ball of light broke away from the giant hand and rushed toward William's body before he could confirm.

Boom!

A series of explosions sounded in William's mind. His body seemed to have been hit by a giant hammer as he fell backward. His throat was blocked by something, and he could not even scream.

Meanwhile, Vilya was shocked by that sudden change. She saw William's face suddenly blushed, and his body fell backward. Her hand was still grabbed tightly by William, and she was pulled over towards him.

Bang!

William's back crashed heavily onto the living room floor. Vilya smashed towards him before he could even catch his breath.

Pop!

Vilya's red lips just happened to touch William's lips. Although it was just a light touch, both of them widened their eyes in surprise.

Vilya's face instantly blushed. She pulled out her hand, stood up in a panic, and turned around, not daring to look at William.

"I, I didn't do it on purpose!" William quickly explained. He did not expect the stealing process would have such a huge effect. He still felt some pain in his chest and abdomen. It was as if he had been hit with a hammer.

"I, I know." Vilya took a deep breath. She turned around and looked at William calmly after calming herself down. There was no extra emotion in her eyes.

The [Devil's Eyes of Hell ] floating in the air widened its eyes and looked curiously at its master and William. It seemed to be curious and fond of the situation.

"Oh right, what Endowed Supernatural Ability did you awaken?" Vilya changed the topic and asked while sitting on the stool, "Why is it so powerful? I can't even take my hands off your grip."

William thought for a moment. Although they were good friends, the Stealing System was his biggest secret. The fewer people who knew about it, the better. Therefore, it was better not to tell Vilya. Moreover, things like the system were very troublesome to explain. Vilya had never read a novel before. It was probably difficult for her to understand.

After thinking for a moment, he had known what to say.

"The Endowed Supernatural Ability that I awakened is very low-leveled. It's an F-Class [Lizard Bloodline]."

Such things could not be hidden. The academy would register the Endowed Supernatural Ability of every student. Although it would not be publicized, Mr. George and Mr. Martin had seen it themselves. The Endowed Supernatural Ability would not change even if he said he wasn't that.

"Ah? Then why is it so powerful?" Vilya was stunned, but she was afraid that William would be upset. So she said, "It doesn't matter. It can be upgraded through some resources, even if it is a low-level Endowed Supernatural Ability. Who said that an F-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability could not step into Earth Rank? There was a rumor that there was a person with F-Class Ability in Fort Caesar who successfully entered the Earth Rank some time ago."

William understood that Vilya was consoling him. He had also heard of that rumor, but that person was the descendant of a noble in Fort Caesar. Even a good-for-nothing could become an Earth Rank expert with the accumulation of resources. However, the gap in Endowed Supernatural Ability was difficult to bridge. There were also differences in strength between Earth Rank experts.

Taking the Lizard Bloodline as an example. It would still be a trash ability with a weak attack and no auxiliary ability even if it were upgraded to Earth Rank. If one wanted to join an adventurer team, the adventure team would hesitate on recruiting them when they saw their ability? Some powerful Supernal Rank Endowed Supernatural Ability could counter-kill any person with that ability.

However, that was all in the past. Now that William had the Stealing System, it meant that he had countless Endowed Supernatural Ability. William alone could be omnipotent no matter it was attack ability, defense ability, or auxiliary ability!

"You don't have to comfort me. There's also good news. I've awakened the King's Blood," William said with a smile.

That reason would be an excuse for some time, so he had no pressure saying it out. After all, they would not be able to relate it to the system.

"You've awakened the King's Blood?" Vilya's jaw dropped. There was no jealousy or doubt in her eyes. She was genuinely happy for her friend when she heard about the good news.

William nodded with a smile and said, "Otherwise, how could I have such great strength with an F-Class Endowed Supernatural Ability?"
