Blood Assimilation

187 Myriad Species Transformation

‘Awakening innate skills? Is it talking about my awakened innate assimilation skill? No, that can’t be it... Then, don’t tell me it is what I think it is...”

Randy was taken aback by the challenger’s system’s sudden announcement, but he suddenly thought of a possibility as to what the challenger’s system meant by its statement.

However, he did not have time to ponder about the meaning behind the challenger’s system’s words, as more lines of texts were displayed on the blue screen on left vision.

[The system had detected an innate skill similar to ‘Sacred Sword Skill’ of the holy knight occupation]

[The awakening sequence would now be initiated]

[The system had detected an innate skill similar to ‘Sacred Enchant Skill’ of the holy knight occupation]

[The system had detected an innate skill similar to ‘Sacred Aura Skill’ of the holy knight occupation]

[The system had successfully awakened these innate skills within the user’s body]

[The skills would now be added to the skill on your attribute screen. Please refer to your attribute screen for further information]

‘Haa... So it’s like I thought. I am currently in my assimilated state while using the ancestral regression, so I thought that the skills that originally belonged to the blonde man would somehow be recognized by the system even without me activating them, just like I did with the beginner swordsmanship.’ Randy thought in an understanding of what had happened.

Currently, he was in his ancestral form, although not entirely, considering that he had actually transformed into the blonde man’s form.

Not to mention, he had entered the blonde man’s assimilated state a few moments ago in order to activate his swordsmanship skill, and he had forgotten to undo the assimilated state because there was not much change to his appearance besides having the tingling feeling from the muscle memory that he received from the swordsmanship skill.

For some reason, when Randy activated the two skills simultaneously, some sort of condition may have been fulfilled, enabling the challenger’s system to discern all the presence of a holy knight. In other words, the hidden skills that he acquired from the blood knowledge of the blonde man have become apparent for the challenger’s system.

Randy sighed, but he did not dislike this situation. That was because, with the challenger’s system acknowledging the skills, he would now be able to show these skills to Zophia and the other people in the society in case they ask him to demonstrate it. Even if they had the means to probe his information like they did when he first registered, he would not have to worry too much.

However, while thinking of how the challenger’s system had claimed to have the means to awaken any, and all of his ‘innate skills’, Randy suddenly thought of some possibility and without pondering too much, he undid his assimilated state.

[[Assimilated Mode Deactivated]]

Shortly after this notification, Randy urged the system to enter another assimilated state.

[[Assimilated Mode Activated]]

[[Assimilated Type: Werewolf King Of Wind]]

[[Reinforcement (Strength of the Werewolf King) Activated]]

‘Now, let’s see what will happen if I assume this form...’

At this point, Randy felt noticed that his body had transformed into his usual werewolf with his flowing silver-white hair behind his back.

At this time, Randy was anticipating what kind of reaction the challenger’s system would have toward this assimilated state.

Sure enough, the challenger’s system soon notified him of the changes in his body.

[The system had detected an innate skill that is similar to the innate shapeshift skill of the werewolf species]

[Now engaging in the awakening sequence of the user’s innate skill]

[Error! The innate skill, shapeshift could not be awakened due to the difference in species]

[Using the innate skill within the user’s body as a foundation, a compensatory innate skill would be created using the preexisting innate skills in this world]

[The innate skill has successfully been manifested]

[Congratulations to the user for awakening to the innate skill, ‘Myriad Species Transformation’]

[Myriad Species Transformation]

[Type: An innate skill]

[Note: This innate skill was created using various innate skills that have similarity with the effects demonstrated by the user’s unknown innate skill]

[Description: This is a transformation ability that allows the user to temporarily transform into other species with different traits as opposed to the user’s own species. In order for this ability to be activated, the user would be required to obtain the blood of the determined species beforehand and then either consume it to gain a proper understanding of the determined species or simply examine the blood in hands for a prolonged time]

[In the case of the latter choice, the prolonged time may vary depending on the complexity or uniqueness of the determined species. Furthermore, it would be hard to maintain the transformed form of the determined species for a prolonged time in case of incompatible states between the user’s species and the other species]

While reading through these lines of text, Randy had a smile on his face, and he could barely hold back his laughter at this moment.

Although he was only guessing the possibility of his thoughts being most likely possible, he did not actually believe that it would be that easy to obtain random skills from the challenger’s system. However, Randy also noticed a peculiarity just now when the challenger’s system tried to assess his assimilated state.

Based on what he saw displayed by the challenger’s system, it seemed like it could not successfully awaken the werewolf’s innate ability or skill in his body because of the difference in their species.

Furthermore, the system assumed that he was using a shapeshift skill while, in actuality, what he used was nothing more than reinforcement of the werewolf king.

Although he did indeed have a shapeshift skill, that skill completely changes his appearance into a werewolf. Even so, the shapeshift could not show its true capability because it was an incomplete blood knowledge skill.

‘But still, this myriad species transformation skill is not bad. Although it seems like a weaker version of my ancestral regression, who knows if it would not come in handy someday? For now, I will put it aside and focus on my other skills. I will try a couple of skills and see whether the skill would give me similar skills as an innate skill.’ As Randy finished this thought, he could not help but reveal a smile.

Randy knew that there was a possibility that all the skills that he would receive from the challenger’s system might be a slightly weaker version of the original skill or ability. However, he still could not give up on them, as those skills might be more practical than his assimilated state skills.

After all, the attractive aspect of these innate skills awakened by the challenger’s system would be the part where he would not have to enter his assimilated state to use them.
