Looking at the Blood god bloodline on his status window he began to regret his decision previously. if this truly was as amazing as he thought it was, than changing to Grivacre's bloodline might be a bad decision. He was about to close the window and talk to Grivacre to tell him he had changed his mind but was alerted by two different sounds. One was a loud ding that popped up an error message and the other was Grivacre saying he was done with the injection.
Grivacre had finished preparing his blood and moved over to Julian and noticed he was staring off into space so he decided to give him a shock and a little wake up.
Julian looked at Grivacre in dismay. not only did he inject the blood without telling him but Grivacre was in a humanoid form and looked almost identical to the Draconian's he had seen in manga except for a couple Prominent features. He had dark Blue Scales and 2 Large black horns protruding from his forehead. He was wearing Formal attire that looked like silk and most dazzling of all was a Crown of White gems That looked like diamonds but was even more beautiful.
His confusion only lasted for a moment as he looked at his arm then the panel that popped up. His arm was Swelling and convulsing but the swelling did not spread any further than his arm as if the blood was being restrained in one place. Grivacre saw this scene and his face turned sour, he had seen this scene several times and knew exactly what it meant.
[ Warning Inferior Bloodline has been detected in users left Arm! ]

Julian was looking at the panel but felt a chill in his spine and looked back at Grivacre who had reverted back into his original form and was radiating a powerful Killing intent. Black lighting was gathering around him crazily and his eyes stared at Julian as if he had killed his entire family in front of him. He felt Rage, embarrassment, Regret and most of all his pride that he had built for tens of thousands of years had been crushed in an instant. A lowly Ape had a bloodline that was better than his and even rejected his own mighty bloodline!! The bloodline that he inherited from his father Dragon Emperor Tirsynth the Almighty.
" wait i can explain!!! " Yelled Julian who was terrified.
Grivacre's Psychic force and spiritual force slammed Julian to the ground and made his mind almost shatter into a million pieces but was blocked at the last second by an unknown power. although this power protected his mind and soul from the Psychic force the spiritual force continued to slam him into the ground and made him unable to move or speak. seeing that his Psyhic force was blocked Grivacre was amazed but also further enraged.
" Mere APE!!! "
" DIE!! "
Grivacre opened his mouth and unleashed his Lighting breath towards Julian who was trembling in fear. if he had known asking for a bloodline would result in this result he never in a thousand years would have asked.
The Power Radiating from the lighting caused an earthquake and the land within tens of thousand of miles began to quake madly. The Dragons and Draconian's within the area all looked to the Great Mountain Of Grivacre with surprise and fear.
" who pissed off Grandfather today? " spoke a Young dragon who was the 7th Grandson of King Grivacre.
" whoever Did it will likely be dead in a moment " The dragons father spoke with pride.
These two dragons were the second son of Grivacre, Malask and his seventh son Mal. They lived in another cavern only 200 miles away from Grivacre and could feel the full force of their kings Power and anger.
" I haven't seen him this angry since my eldest brother was slain by that Horrid Ork King Hugak " spoke Malask with worry.
Julian looked at the lighting and realized he was going to die so he closed his eyes and was ready but the system rang another bell and yelled into his mind.
[ User is in trouble! Activating One time Teleport to save User ]
An unfathomable power erupted from Julian for a couple of seconds and created an impenetrable shield completely blocking the lighting attack. The lighting was deflected and slammed into the caverns wall evaporating the stone and flying out of the mountain killing anything it touched. Tens of Millions of dragons who lived around the mountain immediately ran away in terror as the lighting Annihilated all in its path. Several dragon Guards who couldn't move due to the overwhelming killing intent radiating from the mountain were killed in seconds and reduced to ash.
Grivacre saw everything that was happening outside but his rage could not be quenched and only continued to increase.
' I am Grivacre King Of the Lighting Dragons! I am AT the Peak of the Golden Immortal Stage! I am At the Platinum Core stage and I possess a White soul state and my body is at the peak of Nirvana but THIS MERE APE IS RESISTING ME!! '
His rage exploded and the force of his attack increased 3 fold but before this new power was unleashed Julian disappeared in place and was teleported several Million Miles away to an unknown Land. His attack that was no longer blocked flew forwards out of the mountain and straight towards mal who stared in disbelief at the Lighting that was moving towards him. He wanted to flee but the speed of the Lighting was inconceivable and turned him into ash within a split second. His father Malask stared at his dead son in complete disbelief and was filled with unbridled anger towards his father. although he was only at the beginning stages of the Profound Immortal Stage he wanted to Strangle his father but that idea was quickly put away and he buried his hatred, his father was not one he could fight so easily.
With the disappearance of Julian, Grivacre ceased his attack and looked around in anger and was unwilling to accept that he had escaped from his clutches. His anger reached a new peak and his roar shook the entire Territory Of Arcadia. The cavern he was in began to collapse but then Grivacre exploded his Spiritual force and repaired the entire mountain in an instant.
' I lost my pride, countless royal guards, my Grandson and my sons Love all in one day! '
Grivacre felt defeated for the first time in thousands of years. While he was contemplating a Dark blue Dragon flew in and reported the casualties to him and asked what had happened. This dragon was his third Son Van who was also The Commander of the Royal Guards.
" Nothing happened! Assembly the army and send word to Utiss and Varkan, We will set out for war against Hugak! "
Grivacre needed someone to vent his anger against and When he thought about Mal he remembered his first son Lorion who was eaten by Hugak at an Ork Feast and his anger exploded again. Van looked at him confused.
" but father our preparations for the war are not completed yet! we are still 10 years away from the agreed date of the invasion. if we move now Utiss and Varkan will not be very happy. "
" DO IT !! "
Grivacre yelled at his son full of anger and a little bit of killing intent leaked out into his voice. Van heard this and felt the Intent behind it and bowed.
" it will be done Father! "
After speaking Van quickly flew out in fear that his father would punish him if he stayed.
...
Several Million miles North Of Arcadia Territory Julian flew out of a black portal into an empty forest. He looked around in fear and was Thankful there was nothing dangerous around him. The forest was empty except for the occasional bird call. He regained his composure and stood up.
He looked at the Popup and decided to Risk it and merge the Bloodline. Destroying it would be too wasteful as it was the bloodline of a king Dragon and was almost completely pure, as for the last option he was too weak and had insufficient luck to successfully take anything from the bloodline.
[ merging Bloodline ]
The notification popped up and his entire body began to rapidly convulse and he fell over in intense pain. He stared at his body and saw the entire process but his appearance stayed the same except for his skin. His skin became harder and under the skin layer a layer of scales appeared, these scales only appeared for a split second then became the same color as his skin and could not be told apart from his regular skin. it felt incredibly uncomfortable as if he had splinters all over but he quickly adapted to the feeling.
[ merging successful! ]
[ Blood God Bloodline has merged with the Lighting King Bloodline to Create The Asura Bloodline ] -Mythical Grade bloodline
He opened the panel and most of the info was locked because he did not have the necessary power to unlock bloodline powers but he could see one ability which made him happy.
- Life steal: Steal the life force of anyone around you who is weaker than you or is willing to allow you to take from them.
" such a good ability "
Julian couldn't help but praise it once he read it. He knew exactly what kind of a warrior he would be with this kind of bloodline and just thinking about it made his blood boil with excitement. while he was excited a random thought came to his mind.
' will i be able to grow several arms like they do in the stories?? '
This thought made him even more excited.
After cooling off he looked around the forest and began to think of what to do next.
*ding*
[ You have gained Title: Dragon Nemesis

' Huh '
Julian read the popup and stretched his arms and legs before he began to carefully walk through the forest. He saw a small hill in the distance and decided to climb it so he could get a good view of the surroundings and complete the quest. The Matter converter made him excited as he had played several games that had a device with that name so he knew a bit about what it might be capable of. once he made it to the base of the hill he looked around for the best way to make it up and in the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of something shiny.
This piqued his interest so he moved over to it slowly. once he arrived closer he could make out what looked to be a spear tip and became excited. he moved to pick it up but realized the handle was caught in the bush next to him so he pulled hard but it would not budge. Confused as to why it was stuck in a bush he moved some leaf's away and was startled by what he saw. A purple Humanoid that looked identical to a human was lying dead behind the bush. He looked at the body more and saw that the entire lower half was missing and the cut was extremely clean.
' Looks like this guy was cut in half by someone ' he thought to himself.
He Looked at the spear end and noticed it was broken and splintered into the mans upper torso with his hand clutching tightly onto it. Realizing he could not have the spear his excitement went away until he looked up from the body. about 7 feet away lying on a rock was a clean and unbroken War hammer made of a black metal. next to this weapon was Another Purple Humanoid who was missing his head. He felt bad about taking things from the dead but he was not in a situation where he could be mindful of morals. He sneaked forwards and picked up the Warhammer and was startled by a pop up.
[ Black iron Warhammer ] common
A basic black iron Warhammer mass produced by the Koryak Kingdom.
Condition: Brand new
He held the Warhammer with one hand and found it to be lighter than he thought it would be. Having acquired the Warhammer he placed it into his inventory and decided to look around some more and see if he could loot some more items or find some valuables. The amount of dead rounded up to about 47 and he found several intact weapons including 6 Warhammers, 12 spears and 9 swords. there was a lot of shields but they were all broken into pieces, the biggest discovery was a purple female humanoid wearing what looked to be formal clothing that reminded him of ancient Chinese or maybe Japanese royal clothing. She had a Blue sword pierced into her neck and her eyes were pulled out, it looked like they were forcefully ripped out as her face was severely disfigured. Julian was about to look away but he felt a small amount of spiritual energy and psychic energy coming from one of the rings on the ladies right finger. After experiencing King Grivacre's spiritual force he became extremely sensitive to it.
He leaned in and slowly removed the ring from the finger and a voice entered into his mind. He found himself on a strange island surrounded by a dead and dried up ocean. He was looking around when a light voice sounded behind him.
" hello great Cultivator! "
Startled by the voice he turned around quickly and saw a shadowy illusion of the woman he had seen on the ground but this woman still had her eyes and her face was incredibly beautiful. Seeing her he looked down to the ring in his hand and felt really bad.
' great cultivator? am i a great cultivator? '
Julian looked at her with confused eyes, why did she think of me as a great cultivator when he was still only at Qi gathering stage 1 and was considered in most place's to be a weak mortal.
" why do you call me a great cultivator? "
The girl looked at him confused and spoke again
" are you not an Arch human at the ensoulment stage? "
hearing this Julian's Heart flared up and he became anxious and excited.
" are you a human? what do you mean by Arch Human? "
The girl stared at him and became suspicious, but her consciousness was fading and she did not have much time to wait for another to ask for help so she decided to answer in hopes she could get what she wanted.
" i am indeed a human, and an arch human is a human who has reached the ensoulment stage and cleansed themselves from the curse of Decay placed upon all humans by the ancient elvish Emperor Callan The Feared. Now i do not have much time left and i do not know how you do not know such basic information or how you are not cursed but i need you to deliver a message to my father King James of Koryak. If you can promise this i will transfer my knowledge to you as you seem to be in need of it. "
hearing this Julian became incredibly happy and cursed that old dragon for lying to him. if it was not for his bloodline rejecting Grivacre's bloodline he would be a servant of Grivacre for god knows how long, and he would have forsaken his own kind.
" I promise to deliver your message to your father, but before that may i know your name? "
The moment he finished the Woman's remaining consciousness flew into his own and a enchanting voice spoke in his mind before a flood of information flew in. As a mortal he could not handle the transfer of the information and passed out
" My name is Jessica Koryak Third princess of the Koryak Kingdom, Please tell my father of my passing and tell him King Mark of Hathan has betrayed us. "
After she finished speaking her soul dispersed and she went to the underworld to be reincarnated into another life.
[ New mission: Deliver Jessica's message to King James or Koryak ]

Julian woke up, he didn't know how long he was out but it was starting to get dark. He fell to his knees and clutched his head as a wave of info flew into his mind.

[ EXP 20/70 ]
A wave of spiritual Qi flew into his body and saturated his meridians and upgraded his Dantian and a small puddle of Spiritual Qi began to form inside. it felt like heaven and Julian immediately felt very relaxed and energetic. He opened the mini map and it showed the area around him for about 3 miles in each direction, he observed it and noticed an enlarge button in the top right. He pressed it and a map of the Local Kingdoms appeared in front of him, He pointed to the kingdom of Koryak and to his surprise a waypoint appeared on the map. He looked up and Couldn't believe it but there was a shadowy White arrow in the sky in the direction of the Koryak Capital Arrendale. he moved back and forth but the arrow stayed pointing towards Arrendale.
" Amazing! " he exclaimed.
Next he pulled out the Ring and Dropped a drop of blood onto it binding it to himself, next he put it on and sent spiritual force into it. In his mind he saw the contents and was ecstatic. Inside was an incredible amount of gold, silver, weapons, and even Cultivation resources like Qi pills Foundation pills and even 2 gold core pills as well as a single soul stone. He took out a Qi pill and observed it for a moment. It was about the size of a marble and had a light blue color but a bad smell.

He looked into the bag and saw 12 of these pills so he decided to sit down and ate all 12 of them which allowed him to break through to the 5th stage of Qi Gathering.

' The armor is un used so i guess she must have been attacked before she could put it on or that the armor was not for her. i mean it is a male set anyways. '
He equipped the Armor as well as a hood and cloak he found in the ring and looked into his inventory at the Mass Converter with greedy eyes.
