Assassination System Chapter 116 Mysterious Bloodline Eruption

[Host has fallen in an abnormal state.]
[Sufficient information has been collected.]
[Probable cause: The host's unknown bloodline inheritance.]
[Bloodline Name couldn't be traced!]
[Reason: Insufficient Database Information!]
[The host is now in a state of utmost rage.]
Dan's change made his enemy knit his eyebrows in a frown. The ominous jet-black aura that enveloped the former transformed into dark lightning snakes which coiled around his body. His eyes remained cold and void of the light of life.
His sudden change startled Captain Demonic Dragon. But his experience in dealing with all sorts of situations enabled him to regain his clarity. Observing his enemy. He kept his attacks but didn't dare to approach.
Weng~ Weng~ Weng~
Crimson flashed of light surged at Dan's figure. His blood-soaked figure trembled but his footsteps didn't lag. He approached Captain Demonic Dragon with an indifferent expression on his face.
"This kid...Is he not afraid of dying from blood loss?"
Sweat formed on his forehead. Even experts such as he were afraid of dying. Yet, this young man. He kept approaching despite the injuries that riddled his body.
Running towards the opposite direction. He bombarded Dan with his Spiritual Qi.
"What?!"
His eyes widened in shock when he saw that the eerie mist and lightning around Dan's body, increased and absorbed most of his attacks.
"He's absorbing my attacks to strengthen himself? Could it be that this power is..." A premonition formed in his mind before nodding his head as he confirmed his theories. Pointing at his heart with his right index finger. A burst of primal power surged around his body.
Cold winds battered everything as a tempest surged in the area where the campsite was located. The raging fire that threatened to spread on the nearby trees were suppressed.
Captain Demonic Dragon's figure turned furry. Both of his hands grew claws and his eyes shone in a bestial light, with his pupils forming a slit. In his mouth, two canines protruded.
~Roaaar~
The entire forest shook and the disciples behind the barrier who observed all this while trembled upon hearing the voice. Senior Brother Kwydin spat a mouthful of blood. The roar disturbed his cultivation and as a result. He suffered a backlash.
"Senior Brother!"
The nearby disciples hurriedly helped him up. Lifting his head to stare at the distance. His eyes flashed in a grim and bitter light, "That seems like a Pseudo Bloodline Inheritance..."
"A Pseudo Bloodline Inheritance?"
The surrounding disciples stared at him in shock.
It has to be known that everyone in this world belonged to one different ancestor according to their races. The humans and beasts alike in this world had a trace of that ancient bloodline. However, most of them were too faint to create any effect while those who managed to preserve the purity of their bloodline were rare.
A Pseudo Bloodline Inheritance as the name says, wasn't a complete inheritance. And to achieve such effect. Those humans whose traces of ancient bloodline thoroughly dissipated from their veins could capture beasts and absorb their blood essence along with their innate beast bloodline.
Using such a method, one could have a Pseudo Bloodline Inheritance. Increasing their strength by roughly thirty percent.
Senior Brother Kwydin shook his head and bitterly laughed. He was a genius yet he couldn't even manage to have a Pseudo Bloodline Inheritance. After all, beasts whose blood had traces of the ancients weren't like cabbage on the streets.
Dan who remained emotionless and detached all this while finally reacted when the waves of primal energy reached his body. His lips lifted in a smile of ridicule and his eyes flashed with dark lightning for a moment before his figure blurred and reappeared behind Captain Demonic Dragon.
"He's fast...And he just..."
Captain Demonic Dragon barely caught Dan's figure as a sharp and pulsating pain struck his left armpit. Purple blood dripped from the wound and drenched the ground. His momentum and fierceness diminished.
"Damn it, kid..." Kneeling on one knee, Captain Demonic Dragon cursed while wiping the blood on his lips. Punching the ground, he flew towards the skies and Dan followed suit.
Peng! Peng! Peng!
Brief flashes of their figures could be seen in mid-air. In their earlier exchange, the two were equal but now. Captain Demonic Dragon could barely contend for a hundred exchanges before he was slapped down towards the ground.
The disciples at the distance held their breaths as they stared at the ongoing clash. They could not see their figures but they believed that they could acquire some insights just from watching a fight between experts.
Senior Brother Kwydin followed their line of sight with complex emotions in his eyes. Having a peak Spirit Tempering Realm cultivation. He had Spiritual Sense and could clearly see the blurry figures. Seeing that one of them was a young man whose visual appearance looked similar to him. He couldn't help but gape.
"Such an ominous aura, he's definitely a cultivator of the demonic path. I am sure of it, that bandit geezer must've offended that young man and now he's taking his revenge..." His eyes flashed in a light of understanding.
"My fellow disciples, I have something to announce. Everyone, please listen..." He stood up and everyone who heard his voice obeyed his commands.
Senior Brother Kwydin gulped a mouthful of saliva when he perceived the hopeful and burning gazes of his fellow disciples. Calming his nerves, he said in a regretful manner.
"First, I want to say that I failed my breakthrough for the Divine Soul Realm..."
The disciples' expression flickered for a moment before they gave a small gentle smile.
"Why are you saying that in such a tone, Senior Brother? We're both members of the same academy so we should support each other..." A male disciple with a fair countenance spoke up from behind.
"Yeah, that's right, that's right. Everyone in here knows about the difficulty of breaking through the Divine Soul Realm, you do not need to feel sad about that, Senior Brother..."
Some female disciples at his side even chimed into the discussion as Senior Brother Kwydin's eyes turned somewhat teary. With a trembling figure, he turned around and didn't say anything. His half-step Divine Soul Realm cultivation base rotated, as a tempest manifested and battered the barrier.
The disciples who stood inside the tempest nodded at each other before activating their own cultivation bases and sending their entire Spiritual Qi reserves towards Kwydin. Temporarily boosting his cultivation towards the Early Stages of the Divine Soul Realm.
Unsheathing his sword. His fiery robed figure looked like a lone hero, his insights towards the Laws of Fire condensed on the tip of his sword along with the tempest of Spiritual Qi.
Everything inside the Formation turned silent. But as soon as Kwydin decisively stabbed his sword into the formation, a burst of light followed by a cracking sound reverberated across the area. Captain Demonic Dragon darted his gaze at the cave entrance and saw Kwydin staring at him with solemn eyes.
"You..." He blurted out and at the same time, a dull bang echoed out. Dan landed a palm strike infused with dark lightning on his body.
Guah!
A blood arrow flew from his mouth and Dan followed up with a bicycle kick, sending him towards the forest. He destroyed several towering trees before he could stop himself.
Dan momentarily glanced at Kwydin and the latter's throat moved as a distinct gulping sound echoed. Dan's cold eyes and the hazy symbol on his forehead along with his menacing aura intimidated him.
Dan scanned him for a moment and Kwydin felt like he was naked under his gaze. Turning his head towards Captain Demonic Dragon's direction. Dan lost his interest at Kwydin and flew towards Captain Demonic Dragon's direction.
"Fuck off! Why do you keep on following me?!" Captain Demonic Dragon hysterically screamed. His countenance looked pale and his eyes were black and purple. For the past several hours, Dan kept chasing him and despite his second usage of his Secret Art. The former was persistent in killing him.
Dan maintained his silence but the small smile of derision on his lips indicated his response which infuriated the latter. Bottling up his grievances he glanced behind and viciously smiled.
After half an hour of chasing. The terrain of the forest suddenly changed into a rocky one as Captain Demonic Dragon made a sharp turn for the skies and murmured, "Activate! Murmurs of the Great Earth!"
His voice awakened the rocks on the surroundings and they all flew towards Dan's direction. If a third party was present, they would see innumerable rocks the size of an adult's palm attacking a lone figure.
Even with the power of Dan's mysterious bloodline. His body and current cultivation couldn't possibly support it. Spreading his arms wide, a web of dark lightning formed and enveloped his body as a system notification echoed out.
Ding!
[The host has suffered considerable injuries, please retreat!]
[A mysterious bloodline power is converting damage into healing power...]
The rocks grazed past the web of dark lightning and struck Dan's figure. But the injuries that he suffered didn't last long before they were covered by a strange dark energy that originated from the symbol on his forehead.
[The host#%!#5!#|
[#%@#J!$%!@]
Unbeknownst to Dan, the system's mechanical voice turned into static and it completely disappeared.
Everything happened under two breaths and when the hail of rocks disappeared. Dan started his counter-attack. With both of his daggers, he caused devastating damage to Captain Demonic Dragon as the latter violently cursed.
As someone who stole from anyone may they be great or not. He had accumulated quite the treasures and had his fair share of escape items. But whenever he used them. Dan would interrupt the channeling process.
The fuming Captain Demonic Dragon crushed a crimson jadeslip and the same glow encompassed his body. Delight spread on the middle-aged man's face as the unique power of Spatial Transfer surrounded him and engulfed his figure.
Dan who was left with no target stood there like a puppet while Captain Demonic Dragon inside a Spatial Tunnel laughed in celebration for his successful retreat. But when he stared at his almost naked and bloodied figure, his laughter turned bitter and the light within his eyes dimmed.
"No matter how much I think about it, there's no one like him that I have offended for the past several decades...Could he be an avenging family member of one of those villages that we destroyed?" He fell into deep contemplation.
The aura that came from Dan's body clearly belonged to the Demonic Path. And as a fellow member of the demonic path, Captain Demonic Dragon knew that his actions should have something intense fueling it behind. And it should be related to him.
Guah~!
A sharp pain struck his chest and directly ripped his heart. A mouthful of blood exploded from his mouth and he looked down on his chest with great difficulty, only to find a familiar hand holding his still breathing heart.
"You...How can you see through a spatial transfer..." Regrets filled his mind and his eyes shone in a light of indignance and unwillingness. His struggle weakened and his body flopped on the ground.
A peak Spirit Tempering Realm Expert has died from the hands of a youngster that possessed an unknown power.
'Dan' held the heart in his right palm and stared at it for a moment as the symbol on his forehead absorbed all the blood essence that it could. The heart soon withered and transformed into dust and Dan's body also fell on the ground, followed by a system notification that said.
[Due to unforeseen circumstances, the host's development in terms of bloodline and mentality has increased.]
[The System will now undergo a System Upgrade.]
[System Induced Coma will begin in ten seconds and will last for a period of fourteen days.]
[Congratulations for letting me confirm your bloodline, Inheritor...]
[Greetings from the System Creator...]
[#$!@ Paradyne]
[Hey, stop talking like you're looking down on people!]
[You...Don't grab it away like that! the microphone will break!]
These system notifications repeatedly echoed inside Dan's mind. And astonishingly, the voice didn't sound mechanical at all. At first, it was the voice of a dignified young man but at the end, sounds of quarrels between him and a woman could be heard in the background as another system notification said.
[Sheesh, damn it, that green worm of a woman!]
[Who are you calling, a green worm?]
[Nothing, nothing...]
Click!
The sound transmission ended.
