Blood Assimilation

135 Retaliation

Upon hearing the angered voice of the person on the other end of the black screen, David Silvermoon trembled slightly, but he quickly maintained his composure.

And he answered with a solemn and determined voice: “Your honor does not need to worry. I have other countermeasures in place in case they do. But that would not be needed until the last moment. Because if those students and the instructors with them all get wiped out during this time’s test, then there would not be anyone left to report about it.”

{...You better make sure that this is the case after the test. Otherwise, don’t blame me for what happens afterward. And you can also forget about receiving that serum that you so much desired from us}

The owner of the voice stated indifferently after a while of pondering over his words.

“...” David Silvermoon was silent for a brief moment before replying in a respectful tone: “Understood, your honor. I will not let you down!”

After a few moments of silence, he hesitantly spoke: “But... If I may be so rude as to ask...

{What is it?}

An impatient voice resounded outward.

David Silvermoon did not hesitate any longer and quickly spoke out his question: “About the serum, when does your honor think it would be ready?”

.....

{Hmph! You’re worried about that when you haven’t even accomplished your mission yet? You should know that in the other districts, the test run this time has been quite favorable, and we are now thinking about using the data gathered to finalize the ‘Synergy Project’. With that said, you had better bring more vital data which would prove very useful for the final experiment. In that respect, after accomplishing your mission, depending on the success rate, you might be receiving the serum at that time as part of your reward}

“...I understand, your honor. I will do anything to get my hands on that serum and when that time comes, I would be able to reign supreme among my family members that looked down on me in spite. Ah, I still have yet to fully thank your honor for willing to help me out with my situation. Please accept this bow from me once again.”

Bang!

David Silvermoon stated and immediately bowed to the black projected screen. At this moment, his forehead was on the ground in a prostrated manner.

{No need for such formality between us. Just do your mission properly, and you will be rewarded just like I told you before when we first met. In this world, if one wants something, they will have to sacrifice something proportional to get it. Whether it be power, status, human lives, or family ties, and so on. So bear that in mind, after all, you are now considered a pseudo member of our secret organization}

“Yes!” David Silvermoon replied in a serious tone.

A moment later, the black projected screen turned off with nothing displaying on it anymore.

However, he still knelt for a few moments until he was completely certain that the screen was not projecting that person anymore before he quickly stood back up and fixed his white suit.

‘Ah, it’s now dirty. No matter, I will simple change into my spare.’ He silently thought while looking at his spotless white suit’s pants and sleeves.

Thinking of something, he displayed an unsightly smile and then muttered: “It really is too bad that that I can’t be there to see your despaired expression right before you die, you arrogant brat!”

“HAHAHAHA!!”

A moment later, as if finding something funny, he burst in a peal of mad laughter while grasping his face with his right hand.

After a while, he calmed down and muttered: “If I can get my hands on that serum after accomplishing this mission, then I will finally be able to improve my genes and bloodline. And eventually, become stronger than those old coots in the family who only favored my siblings and cousins just because they have slightly stronger body than mine.”

“For now, I shall await for the good news from my loyal and faithful subordinate. When that time comes, there would only be a celebration and no mourning in my case. Hahahahaha!!”

...

Back to the Beast Forest, on the constructed path.

Randy was still engaged with the chimera monster. Or more precisely, he was being played with by the chimera monster as sharp pain was continuously being transmitted into his brain from his unmovable body that was constantly being impaled and slashed relentlessly by the chimera monster.

At this moment, Randy was looking at the skill section on his status screen and without hesitation, he used his mind to concentrate on a skill that he used in the virtual world but had yet to use it in reality during combat.

The system notification popped up a moment later after his decision.

[[Ancestral Regression Skill Activated]]

Afterward, Randy’s consciousness was moved to that strange place that he went to when he first used this skill before entering the virtual world. But he did not have to think too much about where he was and very quickly, selected the blood-red color of light, and then he soon came back to reality in a single breath.

[[Ancestral Bloodline had been selected]]

[[As the selected ‘Ancestral Bloodline’ had now became your dominant bloodline, the host’s outward appearance had been altered slightly, thus gaining an ‘Ancestral Form’. Furthermore, some of the host’s base abilities had also changed or improved in according with this selected ‘Ancestral Bloodline’]]

[[From now on, when the host uses any blood-related abilities or skills, it would be further enhanced by this Ancestral Bloodline’s ability]]

At this point, his body had drastically transformed and altered completely when compared to his look from before.

Right now, his hair was straight and blood-red in color and the color of his eyes were also now amber-golden that shimmers slightly.

He had a look of indifference at this moment, and also during the transformation, he noticed some slight changes.

He was able to move his body momentarily, so he was now certain that perhaps, now was the time to retaliate against this vile chimera monster that had been playing with his body for a while now.

The moment he assumed this form, he also noticed that his sense towards blood increased as he could tell where were all his spilled blood were located.

And also, he felt like his blood-related skills would be more effective when executed in this state. He was without a doubt certain that he could fight back this time.

This was no longer his hopeful wishing but his confidence in the current abilities that had been enhanced due to his assumed ancestral form after using his Ancestral Regression Skill. ????????????r????????????.＆nbsp;????????????

‘Blood Authority Skill Activate!’ He shouted in his mind right away.

Very quickly, all the blood that he had lost during the battle suddenly floated in the air, as they hovered like drops of liquid that looked like a drop of suspended rainwater except for the color of the liquid being red in this case.

Those drops of blood gathered in one place and after being purified of any harmful substance, they were then absorbed back into Randy’s body a moment later.

At this moment, the chimera monster who held him by his neck and was ruthlessly attacking him against the tree in his back was now motionless, unable to throw its heavy punches or sharp claw attacks anymore.

At this point, the chimera monster looked almost as if it had been frozen and could not move its body despite its struggle.

‘Now, how does it feel to not be able to move your own body, you annoying bastard?!’

Randy mocked in his mind with a forced smile on his drained expression that was pale at this moment.
