Chapter 131: Blood Of Progenitor (Part 3)

(Your Bloodline is Awakening...)

---) Bloodline: Chaos (Currently Awakening)

Seeing the notification and the change in his bloodline section, William was dumbstruck.

’Why is my bloodline suddenly awakening?’ He shouted inwardly, feeling completely confused.

After learning that he might possess an unawakened bloodline, William had been wondering how he should awaken it.

There were many ways to awaken a person’s bloodline, and the easiest among them was to use a medium.

A medium was something that could stimulate a person’s bloodline to an extreme degree, naturally triggering its awakening.

William had checked the Academy’s Resource Department and found that there was a pill called the Crimson Origin Pill.

This pill could ignite the essence of one’s bloodline, stimulating it to an extreme level and giving the consumer a high chance of successfully awakening their bloodline.

William had intended to buy it, but the price of this pill was a whopping twenty thousand credits.

Even with the credits he would earn from selling the mine, he wouldn’t be able to afford it anytime soon.

But now, his bloodline was awakening on its own out of nowhere, making him feel extremely confused.

’It shouldn’t be. Vivian didn’t say that the Eternal Blood Pact had any effect on awakening one’s bloodline...’

William tried to remain calm amid the soul-tearing pain coming from his body.

Using the little bit of strength he had left, he summoned his Vermilion Fire and let it burn inside his body.

The instant he used the Vermilion Fire, he immediately felt a huge amount of vitality surging through his body, lessening the pain.

With the pain subsiding to a level he could tolerate, William quickly looked toward Vivian, who was already panicking.

"Calm down. Why are you the one panicking when I am the one in pain..." He spoke in a speechless voice before asking, "Does this Eternal Blood Pact also have the effect of awakening one’s bloodline?"

"Awakening bloodline?" Vivian was stunned when she heard William’s words, but she quickly realized what was happening. "You mean all of this is happening because your bloodline is awakening?"

"Yes." William nodded. "Remember that divinity? It seems it was present in my blood because I had some kind of bloodline. Now that bloodline is awakening."

Vivian was naturally surprised upon hearing that William possessed a bloodline. However, she didn’t think too much about it and instead responded to his earlier question.

"I have never heard of the Eternal Blood Pact having the effect of awakening someone’s bloodline."

Although he had already expected this answer, hearing Vivian say that the pact really didn’t have any effect on awakening bloodlines still left William confused.

’Then is there something special about this bloodline that it began to awaken right after the pact?’

Suddenly, William’s eyes narrowed as he realized something.

’No, my bloodline didn’t begin to awaken after the pact... It began awakening right after I drank Vivian’s blood.’

"Vivian, is there something special about your blood?" He quickly asked.

"Something special about my blood..." Vivian hesitated for a moment before nodding. "My bloodline seems to be of the highest grade among vampires. It’s just below the level of the Blood Ancestor, who is said to have been the progenitor of vampires."

"A bloodline that is just below the progenitor..."

William was greatly shocked upon hearing Vivian’s words, as it was the first time he had heard about this.

However, he soon noticed that Vivian’s expression was not particularly good when she spoke about her bloodline.

Although William was confused about it, he had no time to pay attention to it in his current situation.

Crack! Crack!----

Suddenly, the sound of bones cracking echoed from inside William’s body as his bones snapped under the power emanating from his blood.

Even with the support of the Vermilion Flame and the potion Vivian had fed him earlier, William still felt as if he was about to pass out from the pain.

Rumble! Rumble!-----

It was also at this moment that black clouds suddenly began to gather in the sky, and the sound of rumbling lightning echoed throughout the City of Vance.

William, who was on the verge of passing out, suddenly felt a jolt in his heart as if something terrifying was looking at him and wanted to kill him immediately.

’Fuck this life. Just give me a damn break already...’

William was seriously thinking about losing consciousness so that he wouldn’t have to endure this intense pain, but the sudden situation made it impossible for him to fall asleep.

Vivian also noticed the sudden change in the outside world. Although she did not know what was happening, she could clearly feel that the rumbling lightning was locked onto their position.

Killing intent flashed in her eyes as a crimson, suffocating aura began to seep out from her body.

She was already startled after seeing William’s condition, and this sudden lightning only made her even more irritated.

Just then, the symbol on the back of William’s palm glowed brightly, and an invisible golden halo that only William could see spread out from it, covering the entire cave.

William immediately felt the strange sensation of being watched disappear, and his heart finally settled.

’’This thing is finally being useful...’ William didn’t care how the symbol was hiding his presence from the strange lightning outside as in his current situation, other than trying to remain conscious, he couldn’t be bothered with anything else.

Vivian’s momentum also paused, and a look of confusion flashed in her eyes when she sensed that the lightning in the sky was no longer paying attention to their location.

Although confused, she also did not care about it too much, as she was more worried about William, whose bones were cracking one after another under the power of his boiling blood.

However, what made her feel relieved was that although his bones were breaking, the power within his blood was also helping them heal at an extremely rapid rate.

And the newly healed bones were far stronger than the previous ones.

The process lasted for about five minutes before his bones finally stopped snapping under the power of his blood.

BOOOOOOM!

Just then, a powerful greyish-brown aura suddenly erupted from William’s body, containing a strange power that made even Vivian feel a deep sense of fear from the depths of her soul.

’Is this the power of his bloodline?’

Vivian sensed the strange greyish-brown aura emanating from William, her brow furrowing slightly as she had never sensed this kind of aura from any bloodline before.

The greyish-brown aura lingered around William for a few seconds before slowly seeping back into his body.

Now, every single drop of blood inside him glowed with the same greyish-brown aura.

The pain William was feeling also slowly faded, and he could sense that his bloodline was almost fully awakened, missing only one final step.

But he wasn’t sure what this final step was.

Just when he was feeling slightly confused—

"Wi-William..."

Vivian’s trembling voice reached his ears.

William raised his head in confusion, wondering why her voice was trembling.

"Your eyes..." Seeing that he was looking at her, Vivian spoke in a low voice. "Look at your eyes."

"My eyes..."

William frowned slightly and created a mirror using water elemental Aether Energy.

He looked at his reflection in it, and as soon as he saw himself, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

At this moment, his eyes were no longer their usual green color. Instead, they were glowing deep red, similar to Vivian’s eyes.

Just as he was feeling stunned, a notification flashed before his eyes.

(Your Chaos Bloodline is assimilating Apex Grade Vampire Bloodline...)
