Blood Assimilation

Chapter 212

212 Cloaked Individuals

To answer his thoughts, lines of text appeared in his vision, which snapped him back to reality.

[[The divine points function of the system would consistently purge the extracted soul’s origin power of its original previous owner’s essence upon extraction. Thus, it becomes completely ownerless. However, during the transference procedure, the ownerless soul’s origin power would be affected by the host’s essence before the transfer. As such, after the transference, the soul power would always contain the host’s essence]]

Since that was the case, Randy did not hesitate any longer: “Spend it.”

After being assured by the system, all his previous worries were all dispersed right away. As such, he confidently declared for the expenditure of his divine points.

With that declared, the number next to the divine points icon decreased after his declaration, followed by a warm sensation coursing through his veins before transferring through his hand into the magical runic circle, which caused a reaction right away.

Randy was already getting used to the transfer of divine points, especially after he underwent the transference of large quantities to undo the seals placed on the black tome.

Therefore, he only watched as his spell technique was about to be completed.

Even the golden mystical runes that appeared during the simulation of the technique in his mind have also appeared.

Seeing this, Randy knew that the spell was almost complete, and he displayed a smile, but due to that, he lost concentration for a bit as the pressure on his body, which had been steadily increasing, overwhelmed him.

.....

Randy uncontrollably fell over.

His body headed toward the magical runic circle, which was still glowing with iridescent and kaleidoscopic lights, coupled with the golden mystical runes that began to form a shape in the air.

But at that moment, Randy came to himself and forced himself to land on his side instead, thus avoiding the magical runic circle.

‘That was too close. I shouldn’t let myself become excited just yet.’

Randy heaved out a sigh of relief as he thought to himself.

Before he looked up again, there was a sudden bright golden light. It illuminated the entire Safe Room before settling down.

When it dimmed, Randy brought his hand down from his face from the unexpected light from the magical runic circle.

“What happened? Don’t tell me I still ended up failing?”

Randy expressed his worry when he saw the light settling down.

According to the knowledge of the technique, there shouldn’t have been such a bright glow at the end. It was supposed to settle down gradually after the golden mystical runes had finished creating the body of the incarnation.

However, there was an abrupt bright glow before the spell was even completed.

‘What’s going on?’

This left Randy confused, but he did not say anything, as at this time, in front of him, his body stood there naked- rather, it was his incarnation that stood there naked with a listless expression.

Randy was initially surprised by his conjured incarnation body’s form, which was very different from what he had imagined and witnessed in his mind.

Since it derailed from the spell technique’s original recreation of his body, which included his clothes.

However, he thought that the system would give him an explanation, and so he quickly looked up in front of himself expectantly.

Just as he had thought, after the ultimate completion of the spell technique, the system displayed its usual descriptions of his situation.

Lines of text were blinking on the golden screen in front of him.

[[Notice: Four of the five elemental laws of this world had judged your actions as not in violation of this world’s foundational laws. As such, you are pardoned for now]]

‘For now? Forget that.’ Randy ignored these lines of text as he had already felt the pressure disappear after he completed the spell technique.

Watching this situation and reading the lines of texts, Randy was shocked and wanted to complain.

As if to answer his thoughts, the system displayed another few lines of text in front of his vision, which left him speechless afterward.

[[The materials used for the creation of this incarnation were of poor quality. As such, not everything of the host was replicated successfully]]

Randy read these lines of text. From which, he found an explanation of what had happened and then proceeded to look on in disbelief for a while.

He then took a moment to observe the creation in front of him.

Afterward, he helplessly shook his head and muttered still in disbelief: “Damn, what a waste... Isn’t this considered as a failure then?”

However, Randy did not dwell on the matter for long and immediately took out some clothes from his storage bracelet and used it to cover his incarnation’s body as he prepared to leave the safe room.

A few moments later, after he packed up everything and addressed some things, he immediately vanished from the Safe Room.

Fortunately, the traces of the magical runic circle vanished along with the creation of the incarnation. The most likely explanation would be that it combined with the mystical runes during the conjuration of the incarnation. As such, there was nothing to clean up.

Moreover, although the unknown pressure from before had long since disappeared, he couldn’t afford to be careless just yet as it seemed that not all the five elemental laws of Acruxia had agreed on letting him off. Thus, he needed to get away from his current location.

Not to mention that he still had a request to complete. As such, he needed to return to his previous location. He had left that request behind for too long because he had spent time grasping the Incarnation Technique.

So he hurriedly left the safe room and appeared at the location he teleported from, near a village close to the Meistic Forest.

However, a few moments after he appeared there, he immediately sensed two cloaked individuals with strange auras emanating from their bodies. They were walking toward the nearby village.

Initially, there shouldn’t have been anyone near his request location.

Most of the Dungeon Hunters opted to take the request from the church, which was to assist in the tracking of that missing knight captain of the church.

Of course, they didn’t know that he had already killed him and kept his corpse in his storage bracelet.

But none of that mattered.

What truly mattered right now was that the moment he arrived at the location of his request, after departing for a few minutes, he found two cloaked individuals lurking around the village very suspiciously.

If they were not cloaked, Randy wouldn’t have thought much and assumed they belonged to the village.

However, the fact remained that they were hiding their appearance, which was very suspicious and demanded attention unless they were Dungeon Hunters with strange dressing codes.

Even if they were indeed Dungeon Hunters, at the very least, he needed to confirm who they were before continuing with his request since they were close to his area of influence.

At first, Randy had used his Dimensional Sense skill scour around just in case there were enemies like magical beasts nearby after he left for so long.

But he did not expect to encounter such people immediately after returning to his previous position.

Thus, to make sure and be certain about the current situation, he focused his perception skill more on those people. But in the end, he only barely saw their faces.

However, since Randy could not see everything, he couldn’t make any conclusions. Therefore, he tried to concentrate his perception just a bit more to see their appearance.

But, as if they sensed his probing, one of them glared in the direction from where he was observing them.

The moment that happened, Randy felt a sudden sharp pain in his mind, which caused his mental energy ripples to fall into disarray shortly after. His perception skill was also forcefully deactivated in response.

Randy scowled when he sensed this: “Who are those people? From their appearance, they don’t look like humans.”

After pondering for a bit, Randy executed his concealment technique to retract all his presence.

Traceless Form Technique!!

When he used his Dimensional Sense Skill just now, he discovered that the other parties were about 200 meters away from his current location, which was not very far away, and not too close either.

Originally, with his skill’s current level of mastery, he shouldn’t have been able to reach that far. At most, only 100 meters after the skill’s complete execution. However, he exerted himself a bit and used directional search, which allowed him to see farther into the distance.

Coincidentally, when he looked in the direction of the nearby village, he found those people approaching the village that he was supposed to protect from the magical beasts in the forest.

After retracting all his presence, he used another skill that he hadn’t used yet until now, which was the Absolute Stealth skill.

That was the innate skill awakened in response to the Stealthy Python’s Stealth Scales Skill during the awakening sequence.

[Absolute Stealth Skill Activated]

After he activated this camouflaging skill, along with his aura and breath concealing technique, his figure, presence, and aura had thoroughly vanished.

It was almost like his entire existence had faded from the surface of the earth.
