A/N: Okay so I held back for like 50 chapters, but I can't anymore. I wanted to give him a better, more power based buff and now we have this chapter.
Reinhardt Interitus POV:
The white haired brat in front of me had a shocked expression, I assumed that it was probably an attempt at distracting me. But I humored her, after all, what could she have up her sleeve aside from her Partial Dragonification?
But, when I turned around, I was shocked. My Demonic Eyes were a rare ability, very few people, even in my family, had them. The kid in front of me might have had them, but even if he did, he was dead… Or so he should have been.
My Demonic Eyes had two features, one of them was the ability to occasionally see the future. It was kind of like a prophecy seeing thing, but they were random and often incomplete. Its other feature was the power to see through things. It was basically X-Ray vision, but everyone with Demonic Eyes had that.
But, moving on, I could more or less see a person's vital signs. Their heartbeat, brain function, the movements of their lungs, the flow of their blood, the contractions of their muscles, and even the flow of the electrical signals that dictate how their body will move. I can even figure out the purity of their blood. Because of that, I could see if they were alive and I could predict their next attacks.
Of course, perfectly predicting all their attacks was a tall order, I sure as hell couldn't do that. But that was not relevant, what was relevant, however, is my ability to see through things and check whether someone is dead or not.
And the guy in front of me was certainly dead, he wasn't breathing, nor did he have the presence a living being would give off. And the Pendragon brat's heart wasn't beating. My eyes widened as I took a look at the heart, it was... Dragonifying? Was the girl behind me... acting like a catalyst? The cells within the heart were still alive and thriving due to being contained within my Dimensional Ring.
And now, the heart's cells are reacting with the girl Dragon's Blood behind me, and that created a situation where a Demon Blood had a Dragonified heart. But, even then, his body should've rejected the heart? His Demonic cells shouldn't be compatible with a Dragon's cells?
'Of course, that's assuming he was alive.'
I came to a sudden realization, he currently wasn't alive. He was currently existing in a state between life and death. He was clinically dead, but he more or less had come back to life.
"No, rather than coming back to life, it's more like he survived death?"
This was a miracle beyond miracles, an impossibility that defied logic.
I gritted my teeth, why did someone like him get to come back? Someone who would happily kill others in cold blood. Why couldn't good people get second chances? Why the fuck is it always the monster's who get second chances? Why are the good people of this world not rewarded?
Why didn't my wife get a chance like this? Why was she hunted down like an animal by the Archduke? Why did the Gods not intervene then? Why couldn't they have granted us, granted her a miracle? Why did the world decide to save some insignificant rodent who'd never contribute anything to anyone but him fucking self?
I looked at the brat, before this, his original heart was rather... weak. He had some sort of heart disease that made it weaker than most. I had seen him being affected by it before when I was passing by. He couldn't properly train and needed longer rest periods than most, however, he was able to power through with his Demonic Physique. I assumed that before he had a Demonic Physique, his Mana was what kept him alive. If I hadn't given him the catalyst to awaken his Demonic Physique, I think he would have died from the lack of Mana.
But now he had gotten a Dragon's Heart, a Demon Seed, a Demonic Physique, along with what I surmised to be some of the purest Demonic Blood in history?
I wouldn't have minded if he was under my control, but unfortunately, we were in a situation like this. We had a Demon Blood like that, a Demon Blood allied with the Kingdom ruled by Angels.
'If he's allowed to grow, I'm not sure what the fuck can stop him.'
My hands were clenched so tightly that blood was drawn, this cockroach survived clinical death, and now he's attained a Dragonified fucking heart.
I had tried to insert that heart into many others within the last few years, but everyone always rejected it. Their body's simply weren't compatible. Their cells would always reject the heart. However, he's 'dead', there's nothing in that body to reject the heart.
"Now then, what do I do about this?"
A/N: You guys can blame a certain someone for this cliffhanger, he attempted to punish me and this is the cost of his impudence.
