Chapter 69: Chapter No.69 Missions (2)
[Samael Ashwood's POV]
I stared at the system panel with a deadpan expression, feeling the weight of my recent tasks and challenges. The Heavenly Destiny System had been relentless, pushing me to the brink with each new mission.
"I haven't even claimed my rewards for my previous mission, and now this," I muttered under my breath.
The system's prompt blinked before me, the mission details crystal clear.
[Ding! A New Mission]
[Name: The Royal Flush]
[Description: Blackthorns, the royal family of your kingdom, has summoned your mother, and their motives are highly suspicious. Ensure the safety of your mother and uncover the true intentions of the Blackthorn family.]
[Objective 1: Escort your mother, Elysia, to the Royal Palace.]
[Objective 2: Uncover the hidden motives of the Blackthorn family.]
[Objective 3: Ensure your mother's safe return.]
[Reward: 25000 Destiny Points, Title - Royal Guardian, Unique Skill - King's Insight]
[Failure Penalty: Loss of family prestige, Potential harm to your mother]
[Accept Or... Accept?]
I let out a sigh. There was no room for refusal. Not that I would want to. My mother's safety was paramount. Elysia had been through enough, and I couldn't bear the thought of her being in danger again.
'Let's claim the pending rewards first,' I thought, navigating to the previous mission's reward panel.
[Ding! Previous Mission Rewards]
[Rewards: Unique Skil: Infernal Pact, 10000 Destiny Points, Bloodline Awakening Vial]
[Does the host want to claim the rewards?]
[Y/N]
I clicked "Y" to claim the rewards, and the system panel updated with the details of each reward.
[Infernal Pact: A unique skill that allows the user to form a temporary pact with a powerful demonic entity, granting them immense power and abilities for a short duration. The pact's strength and duration depend on the user's current magical affinity and stamina.]
[Bloodline Awakening Vial: It awakes the latent bloodline of whoever drinks from the vial, revealing ancient powers and traits tied to their ancestry. Drinking the vial will grant access to the first stage of this bloodline's abilities, including enhanced attributes, new magical affinities, and unique skills specific to the awakened bloodline.]
The moment I claimed the rewards my blood started to boil as the Infernal Pact activated within me. I could feel the surge of energy coursing through my veins, a potent mix of demonic power and my own magical affinity blending into something formidable. It was both exhilarating and slightly unsettling, the warmth spreading through my body as I acclimated to this newfound strength.
I turned my attention to the Bloodline Awakening Vial. Holding it up to the light, I admired the swirling liquid inside, its dark hue hinting at the profound transformation it promised. With a determined breath, I uncorked the vial and consumed its contents.
Have you ever heard of instant regret?
Well, I did just that, and it is good that my room is soundproof because—
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I was wracked with an intense surge of pain and energy that overwhelmed my senses. The moment the vial's contents hit my system, it felt like my very essence was being torn apart and reassembled. My body was engulfed in a searing heat, my veins pulsing with an energy that was both foreign and exhilarating.
My screams of agony echoed through the soundproofed room, the walls bearing silent witness to the transformation. The raw power of the Bloodline Awakening Vial was unlike anything I had experienced before. It wasn't merely a physical change—it was a complete overhaul of my very being.
The liquid flowed into my heart... destroying both my magic circles which caused me to puck blood as the very foundation of my being was being fundamentally restructured. Each heartbeat felt like a drumbeat of change, a relentless hammer reshaping the very core of my existence. The fiery sensation radiated through my veins, making every nerve scream in protest and pleasure simultaneously.
My vision blurred, the room spinning as my body underwent a metamorphosis. The pain was excruciating, but it was accompanied by an extraordinary sense of awakening. I could feel ancient, dormant powers stirring within me, pushing at the limits of my magical potential. It was as though the vial was not just enhancing my abilities but rewriting the very essence of who I was.
My skin started to fall off and my hair grew darker, with streaks of crimson and silver weaving through. The transformation was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. My body felt like it was being remade from the inside out, every cell and fiber of my being aligning with the ancient bloodline powers now coursing through me.
The searing pain gave way to a cold, almost serene stillness. My breathing was heavy, each inhale feeling like I was drawing in new life. As the final remnants of the transformation settled, I noticed the changes. My eyes, once a striking blend of blue and red, now glowed with a deeper, otherworldly hue—an amalgamation of the demonic and divine.
The magic circles within me, which had been disrupted and broken- WHAT!!!
I struggled to process the abrupt shift in my perception. The once-familiar magic circles, my primary sources of magical power and control, had vanished. In their place, I felt a raw, unfettered energy surging through me, a chaotic amalgamation of demonic and... draconic?
I stumbled, feeling the turbulent energy crackling within me. The absence of the familiar magic circles was unsettling. In their place was an unpredictable, raw power that was both demonic and draconic, intertwining in ways I hadn't anticipated.
The draconic essence felt ancient and primal as if I was tapping into a force far beyond my previous understanding. It surged with a life of its own, responding to my thoughts and emotions with a wild, unrestrained force.
But the question remains: HOW THE FUCK DID I GET DRACONIC BLOODLINE?
I tried to calm my racing thoughts as I grappled with the new, unpredictable energy coursing through me. The draconic essence was a surprise and a significant one at that. I had anticipated demonic influences due to the Infernal Pact, but this—this was something entirely different.
My mind raced through possible explanations. The Bloodline Awakening Vial was meant to awaken latent powers tied to my ancestry. But where did the draconic element come from? Had there been some hidden lineage or connection I was unaware of? It was disconcerting to realize that the vial had not just awakened a single aspect of my heritage but had introduced a completely new and potent force.
Is it?
'Status!'
[Status Window]
[Name: Samael Ashwood]
[Race: Demonic Dhampir, Royal Dragon, Royal Elf]
[Magic: Demonic Dragon Heart (First Stage)]
[Body: Golden Body (Mid)]
------
[Attributes]
[Strength: 64]
[Agility: 60]
[Endurance: 65]
[Intelligence: 60]
[Charisma: 60]
[Destiny Points: 10000]
[Affinites: Star, Destruction, Lightning, Shadow, Nature, Dark*, Blood*]
The realization hit me like a tidal wave. My status window displayed a blend of traits and affinities that were both overwhelming and unprecedented. I had expected to see the results of my recent transformation, but this—this was a new level of complexity.
The term "Demonic Dhampir" was unexpected as demonic traits were an outcome of the Infernal Pact, So... that unknown bloodline was dragon's and royal at that... as for royal elf, it's as it was before.
The Demonic Dragon Heart magic, now a part of my arsenal, hinted at an ancient and potent power. My body felt charged with a primal force, a chaotic energy that I would need to learn to control. The Royal Dragon aspect signaled a deep connection to draconic heritage— a heritage that was both prestigious and formidable.
My mind raced with possibilities, trying to piece together the implications of my new status and abilities.
I took a deep breath, attempting to center myself amidst the overwhelming surge of power. The draconic essence felt like a wild, untamed force, and I had to harness it if I was to face the challenges ahead.
I focused on the two new affinities, Dark and Blood, feeling their distinct energies pulsing within me. Each had its own unique flavor and potential.
Dark Affinity: This seemed to connect with the shadowy and more sinister aspects of my newly acquired powers. It promised to enhance my stealth, and shadow manipulation more easily, and possibly open new avenues for dark magic. My mind flashed to the possibilities of blending this affinity with my existing skills, creating devastating combinations.
Blood Affinity: This was intriguingly powerful. Blood magic often had connotations of control, vitality, and sacrifice. It could potentially enhance my physical abilities, grant me the power to manipulate blood in various forms, and even tap into deep, ancient energies associated with my new dragon heritage.
The energy from these affinities was unpredictable, swirling within me and occasionally flaring up with raw, unrestrained power. I needed to test their limits and learn how to control them before I faced any new threats.
I sat in a meditative position, focusing on the flow of energy within me. The room, once filled with my cries of agony, now held a tense silence. My breathing slowly returned to a steady rhythm as I sought to center myself amidst the new, chaotic power.
My heart started to beat with a steady, rhythmic pulse, and I could feel the energy within me gradually settling into a more manageable state. The raw power that had overwhelmed me now began to feel more like a part of me—a new, potent extension of my being and suddenly—
WTF?!
