Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 61 - Mid Level Breakthrough (Physical)

Two days ago, Maria Frazier received an assignment to kill Class 1 Monster. It is "RED DAGGER FISH". After confirming the location. Then she began her journey towards the waterfall city.

WATERFALL CITY- TIER 8 CITY

Rooted behind a glacier, the city of the waterfall is home to water elemental warriors.

This city wasn't built by a glacier by an accident, as it has an abundance of wildlife, Which is of great importance to the people of Waterfall and its survival.

Even though it's a modern and sci-fi era. People don't shy away from following their ancient heritage.

The city itself looks gorgeous, with its copper rooftops, Pinewood walls, and silent mountain range. It's too ancient for a Modern Tier-8 City.

Waterfall City has a progressive economy, which is mainly supported by hunting, wood crafting, and armsmithing. But their biggest strengths are sustainable hunting and rare animal training.

Sometimes later, Maria arrived at Waterfall City.

Feeling such a vibrant atmosphere around the city. Her lips curved a little. She made her way through the crowd to reach the exit gate. Her destination was not in the city but outside of the city.

RED DAGGER FISH is primarily found living in the largest lake outside of the Waterfall City. She left the city and made her journey towards the lake. She booked an air cab to visit the place.

The lake is a common attraction for Hunters and Warriors to kill Class 1 Monsters. It is called Black Lake for some reason. Even though it doesn't look black.

Soon, the Air cab came and dropped her at the location.

After exiting the Cab, she looked around her. Seeing few people making their way to the same location. Maria quickened her pace.

Soon, she saw a black lake at a distance. "It looks more like sea than a lake. You can't even find where it ends" Maria Frazier commented in her heart.

She looked at her sci-fi watch. To go through the lake's description again. The black lake has the greatest surface area of any lake as 500,000 square miles. Its deepest measured depth is 4000 meters.

She knitted her eyebrow reading that, "It is no way less than an actual sea. Its description itself is quite frightening" she mumbled herself and followed the people.

Finally, she arrived at the location. Some of the warriors and hunters, preparing to go deep into the lake, where you can find Class 1 Monsters.

She needs to go deep into the lake to find RED DAGGER FISH.

Fortunately, she is a water element warrior. She didn't require breathers to breathe underwater, like other warriors who were equipping themselves with some high-tech equipment.

She can easily control water elements around her to make a way to breathe underwater. She didn't hesitate further and dived deep into the lake.

She conjured a simple water ball around her with the water element. It doesn't require any technique. If you are good at elemental control. You can form and maintain simple elemental forms with different shapes and sizes.

She looked around and found the vision inside the lake is getting darker. She put an advanced goggle, it helps her to find lifeforms and also provides some light to move around.

She can feel some pressure as she continues to dive deeper. She dived around some 600 meters deep approx. She looked at her sci-fi watch to know some status.

Suddenly, she spotted something.

Seeing that a smile blossomed on her face.

"Finally, I found you!" she commented in the heart. It's RED DAGGER FISH. It's now, eating the flesh of some other Pseudo Monster Fish.

RED DAGGER FISH – CLASS 1 MONSTER

Primarily are found in warm and temperate regions around the world. Primarily in the sea but also in some instances in brackish or freshwater lakes.

Fused teeth form a beak-like structure with a split in the center of each jaw. It has a highly toxic substance that is especially concentrated in the internal organs.

It is highly noted for its venomous fish spines. Which are capable of producing fatal wounds.

It bears a particular pattern of RED color stripes and grows about 50 meters long.

Seeing the monsters for the first time. Which looked exactly like mentioned in the description. Maria was surprised. Then she did not waste any time killing it. Unlike, last time in blood kill test. There she suffered from a lack of techniques.

She immediately pulled her Blue Short Sword and aimed at RED DAGGER FISH.

Sensing the killing intent front the surrounding. The RED DAGGER FISH moved away from that spot and starting to look for threats. It saw a human holding Blue Short Sword targeting it.

It didn't run away rather it move towards Maria to tear her off. Upon seeing this Maria didn't get sacred rather she made a plan. She led the monster to the nearby pointy rocks.

She used the water element to move faster and hide behind the rocks.

Meanwhile, Zack at Mr. Arthur's Cabin.

I asked Mr. Arthur Emerson, "Is it always smell like that?"

Hearing that Mr. Arthur had a small smile on his face. He replied, "Take it carefully. It's good for mental strength." But, He didn't elaborate on it further.

I received that beautiful case and stored it in my storage cabin. Then I left the facility after saying goodbye.

I had some good training today. But, it will be even better. When I get a breakthrough in my physical strength. I planned to cultivate blood element, after having dinner at night.

Having some plan in mind. I boarded my train home.

Sometimes later, I reached home and went to my room directly. I had a bath and later dinner.

After having dinner. It's time for blood cultivation. I didn't go to my room to cultivate. I can't place the body of the monster inside my room. The Space is not enough for it.

I went to my backyard. There is a somewhat spacious training room there. After I entered the room. I placed meditate mat on the ground and took out the monster's body.

It was Hyena's body. I calmed myself and didn't waste any time. I placed my palms on its head. And started to recite the words of blood technique.

Soon, thick blood from the monster came out. My palms started to suck the entire blood from its body.

After the monster's blood entered inside me. My Blood Element started to react. It attracts the white energies from the blood. Even after going through several books at the library. I couldn't find out what these white energies represent.

Then, these white energies like always drilled into my bones. Followed by extreme pain. I clutched my head by feeling such torture. But, I knew it was important. Without it, I won't get any breakthrough.

After some time, the monster's blood dried out and the white energies stopped drilling.

There is a somewhat Red line pattern on my skeleton. After each time whenever I consumed the blood of the monster. The line started to get thicker and wider.

I didn't want to think too much about it. Then I followed the same procedure by consuming blood of remaining Hyena and its leader. The Redline on my skeleton gotten much more widen and thicker.

Due to the Hyena's being Class 1 Monster. I made an immediate breakthrough in my physical strength. I felt an unknown pressure limit on me is lifted upon. And I felt new profound strength coursing through my body.

Every cell in my body beamed with power.

It's not Elemental Power But, Pure Physical Strength.

"Finally, I made the breakthrough; To reach Mid-level of Apprentice Trainee Warrior in Physical Level," I commented in my heart.

I can feel my soul and magical (Elemental Energy) got a little bit strengthened. It's an indirect benefit of Physical breakthrough. It did happen like earlier in the case of Lightning Element Breakthrough. Both of them are mutually beneficial to each other.

" How good that would be, If I got soul cultivation technique?" I commented in my heart.

I didn't want to leave yet. Because I got one more thing to do. A mind fruit treasure. I need to consume it right away. When comes to the body of White Stripped Forests Spider.

I already submitted its body to the administration through Mr. Arthur Emerson. I could not find Ms. Adeline's key today. So, I sought his help.

I took the case from my storage ring and placed it before me. I shouldn't expect more from a single fruit. It's just an early-stage treasure.

I opened the case and quickly put the blue fruit in my mouth. Before its intoxicating smell attacks me.

For some time. Nothing happened. But, soon I felt several pointy needles attacked my brain. It felt an icy cold sensation over the top of my head.

It's a weird sensation. I gritted my teeth to go through over it.

Sometimes, later the icy cold sensation stopped. I activated my perception ability to check for any changes. To my surprise, the range got increase two more meters.

Currently, I can perceive the area around me more than ten meters. Earlier, it was 8 meters now it got increased by two points. My lips curved a little knowing that.

I got up from the mat. And looked at my hands. "I couldn't wait to test my current strength," I commented in my heart. I had an urge to test it.

But, I quickly removed these thoughts. When the thought of Assassin came over my mind. I need to follow some patience. I can surely calculate my capability from the next assignment.

After making up my mind. I went to my room and had a quick shower.. Then I went to bed to get some good sleep.
