Chapter 1044 Absorbing Bloodlines



Chapter 1044 Absorbing Bloodlines

-----

"Woah…"

I felt the blood coursing through my veins, it activated, something deep red and something deep black surged, fusing into my own self, and improving itself to completely new, and incredible levels.

"So this is obtaining a bloodline!" I felt shocked. "I even had a flashback of seeing the origin of the vampire bloodline I absorbed!"

"U-ugh… I'm glad for you… my lady…" Kimiko groaned, falling into the sand.

"Hahah, sorry for overdoing it with you guys, but I had to make sure I got all the percentage possible." I laughed. "Rest for now, consider this one of your many punishments for kidnaping people."

As I walked away, I looked at the system messages.

Ding!

[Blood Absorption Successful! You have absorbed the following Bloodlines to 100%: [Lesser Bloodline of the Bloodheart Vampire Family: 100% (Low-Rank)] [Weakened Bloodline of the Black Lotus Ronin Family: 100% (Low-Rank)]!]

[Both Bloodlines have been equipped successfully: 2/4]

[You gained +100.000 Ki and Attack.]

[You have unlocked the [Weakened Bloodline of the Black Lotus Ronin Family: 100% (Low-Rank)] Bloodline Abilities: [Magic Katana Wielding Arts] [Master Swordsman's Instincts] [Black Lotus Ki Gathering Technique]!]

Ooh, it comes with bonus stats and abilities! This is amazing! I'm glad I choose that Skill Book now. Let's try some of them right away!

"Hmm, I see…"

First of all, with the Vampire Bloodline I got, they're very straightforward techniques. [Blood Weapons] allows for the creation of special weapons made either out of my own blood, or the blood of my foes, fusing it with my own Blood Energy.

It is not just some random projectile though, a [Blood Weapon] is deeply connected with the Bloodline and Blood Core Power of a Vampire, although I don't have the latter, as my Bloodline has two bloodlines within it, the weapons that come are rather unique.

They're mostly all versions of different katanas, which became of a dark red color, and whenever I swing them, black lotus petals are left behind as some sort of illusory ability.

"This is really interesting…"

[Curse of Blood] was the curse every Vampire had when being one. It was the inability to be below the sun, the endless thirst for blood, but also their strengths, such as bodies capable of regenerating from lethal blows, being able to grow by drinking blood, gaining supernatural bodies and abilities, having no lifespan, and so on. I wasn't particularly affected by any of its effects though, but I did feel a bit stronger physically.

Lastly, the [Blood Energy Gathering Technique] was some sort of "Cultivation" technique that the Vampires of Umbralheim deciphered on their own, giving them the ability to cultivate their own internal Bloodlines, Blood Cores, and Blood to generate Blood Energy, the previous essence and resource they need to activate most of their abilities, aside from Mana, and apparently also required for their Blood Heart Core Ranks to increase.

Moving on to the second Bloodline, the abilities were also quite awesome this time. [Magic Katana Wielding Arts] allowed for the usage of special Katana techniques, with varying usages of Ki and Mana, although I was never taught any of such techniques, they felt already imparted upon my very bloodlines. Moving the Blood Weapon allowed me to leave black flames and black lotus as I swung it. What a mysterious technique, it is similar to what Kimiko used.

The [Master Swordsman's Instincts] and [Black Lotus Ki Gathering Technique] were simpler. The first one gave me some sort of natural knowledge of swordsmanship, its movements, how to parry blows, how to evade, and how to better strike foes too. It was like a natural in-born talent! So this is how Bloodlines work, huh? Anyways, the latter was another gathering "cultivation" technique that refines basic Ki and transforms it into Black Lotus Ki, which is darker and more potent for Katana Arts.

"L-Lady Maria! A-Are you using the techniques of my family?!" Kimiko was eyeing me. "Amazing… But how?! Did you absorb my bloodline?"

"Yeah, I didn't tell you I was doing that before?" I asked her. "My bad then."

"I-I never thought the old bloodline of my family would ever get assimilated like this…" She felt slightly disappointed.

"Well, your entire bloodline would have ended with you, you were already dead, girl." I sighed, crossing my arms. "Anyways, it seems your family has this Black Lotus power thing?"

"Y-Yes…" She nodded. "It is part of our innate powers. My father once told me when I was very young, that our ancestor came from a land of swordsmen and warring states."

"Huh…" I muttered. "I wonder if your ancestor was summoned here from the Sengoku Era of Japan, or if he comes from a World that is like an Ancient, Mythical Japan? Well, whatever the case, thank you for the bloodline."

"I-It's nothing…" Kimiko looked clearly disappointed on herself, but I didn't pay any mind.

Now, to the ticket, while my family has yet to break out of their cocoons. I can combine up to five damned Skills into one, what do I choose?

Do I pick the Skills I need the least or use the least? Or should I pick some strong ones expecting something strong in result?

Well, whatever the result is, the resulting Skill will be a Divine Skill of incredible power, so I can't really go wrong with either choice.

Let's see…

Okay, I think I've made up my mind. I'll just pick random Skills I don't care about that much, or that I won't really truly develop either way, either because they became obsolete due to my new evolution and new skills, or because of their lack of usage in battles, and that can only help on very specific things.

Ding!

[You have used the [Pure-Blooded Vampire Themed Skill Fusion Ticket (SSS Grade)]!]

[You have selected the following Skills for Skill Fusion using the Ticket: [Bone Weapon and Armor Creation: Lv10] [Dragon Spirit: Lv10] [Blood Arts: Lv10] [Farming: Lv10] [Mining: Lv10]!]

[Initiating Skill Fusion!]

FLAAASH!
