Chapter 643

“Everyone, get out here!!”

At Su-ho’s command, the High Bloods burst out once again.

What they did once they emerged was, of course, suck blood.

Not a single one was missing.

After all, every last one of them had their lives managed by Su-ho.

- Gghrk...... gghk...... You......!

Amazingly, Omega was still alive.

Omega, whose body had been pierced through from between the brows to the back of the head and then through the torso, glared at Su-ho with grotesque, zombie-like grinding sounds.

But Su-ho’s gaze was just as vicious as Omega’s glare.

Swaaaaaaaaaah!!

Veins bulged not only across his forehead, but also over both outstretched arms and his entire body.

Offering sucked in the dragon blood like a drain gone berserk.

This was his last chance.

No, he thought of it as his last chance and sucked it in without hesitation.

- Gggghhh......! Ggaaaaaaaah......!

Omega vomited up a horrific scream at the pain that felt as if his entire body were being twisted, bound, and tightened.

Omega, too, felt as if he was about to lose his mind.

His eyes had long since rolled back, and the dragon blood draining out through his entire body was being helplessly stripped away as he surrendered everything, unable to do a single thing about it.

Damn it!

Goddamn it!

Shit!

Every kind of curse spilled from his mouth and his heart.

He wanted to blast that bastard with Absolute Death right this instant and kill him.

Turning him into a True Dragon?

The things he had to do afterward?

None of that mattered.

To think I would suffer another defeat this wretched in my life.

Ever since Overment invaded his world, he had vowed never to lose to anyone again, yet a day had come when he was reduced to this by something so vulgar, by a mere human of all things!

- Ggaaaaaaaaaah......!

It hurt.

It hurt too much.

Because of the enormous amount of energy being drawn out of his entire body, the strength to resist was gradually disappearing.

The problem had been using Absolute Death consecutively.

Even though dragons were called the foundation of magic, Absolute Death was a mortal spell that was guaranteed to kill its target.

That meant even a Lord-class Arc Dragon had to bear an incredibly heavy burden from it, yet because he had not wanted to lose, he had used it repeatedly without even taking time to reorganize himself.

But what did that matter?

He still had not managed to kill him!

It was infuriating.

It was unfair.

It was agonizing.

Normally, holy arts or whatever else should have all been wiped out with a single shot of Absolute Death!

And yet, because of that damned balance correction, I have to end up like this!

Rage boiled inside him.

Somehow, he wanted to recover his body, turn the situation around, pull out the skewer-like spears and blades, and bite into that bastard’s nape.

But.

- Ggeooooooooh......!

Omega was at his limit.

After the consecutive ultra-high-rank dragon magic and with his head and torso pierced through, Omega’s condition was far too poor.

Su-ho, on the other hand, was regaining stability.

It was a strange phenomenon.

At first, he had wondered what he would do if he absorbed too much mana again and could not handle it, but somehow, the more dragon blood he absorbed, the more stable he became.

It was thanks to Dragon Mode.

He had simply used Dragon Mode according to Jack’s advice, yet he could see things he had never seen before and contain things he should not have been able to contain.

And was that all?

At last, he had found a way to break through and driven that damned lizard head into a corner.

Swajajajajajajaja!!

Offering accelerated more and more as time passed.

At that moment, an astonishing phenomenon occurred.

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

.......

“......!”

System notifications spread out as if scattering.

When Su-ho saw them, his eyes widened more than they ever had before.

And understandably so, because he had only used Offering, yet Su-ho’s mana stat had begun to rise like mad.

This was the first time something like this had happened.

But the astonishing phenomenon did not stop there.

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure dragon blood beyond your limit. ]

[ Dragon Blood surges. ]

[ Dragon Grow responds. ]

[ The dragon bones awaken. ]

[ The dragon body responds. ]

.......

New notifications poured out.

The notifications about his mana stat rising were still surging upward.

Then it happened.

[ Condition has been fulfilled. ]

[ Condition has been fulfilled. ]

[ Condition has been fulfilled. ]

[ Condition has been fulfilled. ]

[ Condition has been fulfilled. ]

.......

[ The absorbed dragon blood is completely settling in. ]

[ The ratio of dragon blood is changing. ]

[ Congratulations! By absorbing dense and pure dragon blood beyond your limit, your dragon blood ratio has risen one step further. ]

[ Quarter Blood(S) is upgraded to Half Blood(SS). ]

[ Skill information is changing. ]

[ Dragon Mode is changing. ]

[ The grade of dragon blood is changing. ]

.......

The end of the change was Half.

All he had done was absorb dragon blood through Dragon Mode.

And yet, the dragon blood he had absorbed, which had caused an overload in a human body, had brought about evolution in the dragon body of Dragon Mode.

As a result, Quarter Blood, which had been only 25%, could finally be upgraded into Half Blood, shining at 50%.

‘I’m Half Blood......!’

His entire body felt warm and soft.

But what was even more astonishing was that he was still absorbing dragon blood.

And more astonishing than that was the fact that, the moment Su-ho’s dragon blood became Half Blood, Su-ho’s dragon body also began evolving in real time.

Sususususususu!

Short horns, a short tail, small wings.

Those things were no more.

The short little devil-like horns lengthened proudly, and the Welsh corgi-like short tail also grew in an instant, now resembling that of a crocodile.

And was that all?

His wings, which had barely even helped with safe landings, let alone flight, spread wide and magnificent like a wyvern’s.

His scales also grew more numerous, harder, and took on a richer, more luxurious sheen.

“Haaaa......”

Something that could have been steam or smoke poured from his mouth.

The system notifications were still surging.

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

.......

He opened his status window.

[ An Su-ho ]

Lv: 400Class: Black PopeGrade: Guardian GodBetting: <Umbra><Heracles><Sword Demon>Traits▲: <New Blood★><Heracles><King of Ruin><King of the Demon Realm><Sun-Moon Body>Great Strength(S): 148True Demon(G): 753Super Sense(S): 90Command(N): 220Bonus Stat: 0True Demon stat 753.

The stat that had started at 457 had already risen by nearly 300.

Even so, the stat was still rising.

His whole body tingled.

Omega said nothing.

He did not even stir.

Was he dead?

No.

How could he be dead when no notification had appeared saying he had died?

In that sense, Su-ho found it newly impressive.

Right now, Su-ho was not the only one sucking out that bastard’s mana and blood.

Hundreds of High Bloods had joined in as well.

Even in the middle of that, with Su-ho’s stat already looking toward 800, and with the amount stolen at once likely considerable since Omega had even achieved gigantification, Omega was still breathing.

Su-ho’s eyes narrowed.

At some point, he lowered the arm he had been holding out.

Instead, he crossed his arms and looked at Omega with narrowed eyes.

Blood was being absorbed.

The system notifications announcing his mana increase continued to surge.

Omega.

Are you giving up like this?

Did you lose your will to fight or what?

He did not say anything.

After all, his level had not been rising as it was.

And since stats were already difficult to obtain, he also had the desire to raise the True Demon stat, which had reached Gold grade, to the next stage.

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

.......

He waited a while longer like that.

The True Demon stat rose endlessly.

Omega still showed no reaction.

It felt somewhat bland.

Empty.

Was this really the end?

After a little more time passed like that, Su-ho’s stat finally neared the number he had been waiting for.

- True Demon(G): 999

True Demon stat 999.

The moment it reached that number.

Hwaaaaak!

Light burst from his body.

At the same time, Offering was released.

More precisely, the droplets of blood that had been absorbed into his entire body stopped in place as if time had frozen.

Then new system notifications appeared.

[ All conditions have been achieved. ]

[ All unlock conditions for dragon blood’s sixth authority have been fulfilled. ]

Su-ho’s eyes widened.

It was a notification he had not expected.

The unlocking of dragon blood’s sixth authority had begun.

[ ① Reach Level 400. ]

[ ② Gold Color mana stat must reach its maximum value. ]

[ Hidden condition has been achieved. ]

[ ③ Reach Half Blood. ]

Su-ho’s eyes widened once again.

Hidden condition?

It was the first time he had seen that kind of phrase.

But either way, Su-ho had achieved it.

The system notifications continued.

[ Dragon blood’s sixth authority is being unlocked. ]

[ Dragon Master has been opened. ]

“......!”

After Hatchling.

Amazingly, it was Dragon Master.

And at that moment, the suspended droplets of blood began to be absorbed again.

[ You have succeeded in absorbing dense and pure mana beyond your limit. ]

[ True Demon stat increases by 1. ]

The True Demon stat rose by 1 more.

And at last, Su-ho was able to reach it.

[ True Demon stat has become 1,000. ]

[ True Demon stat grows one step further. ]

The very moment of a stat color upgrade.
