Blood Assimilation

Chapter 242

242 Blood Spaces

Randy discovered something interesting about his ability as he siphoned his enemy’s blood, and that was how he managed to suck in all of the black-cloaked vampire man’s blood into his body.

This was something that should’ve been biologically impossible, as he couldn’t possibly have the capacity to store two people’s blood within himself.

Even if the blood-cloaked vampire man’s blood volume was less than his, which was unlikely, he shouldn’t have been able to absorb all of it. This was because he still had an ample amount of blood in his system.

While he had lost some blood before in his previous fight with the demons, he hadn’t lost enough to warrant his feat of absorbing the black-cloaked man’s blood completely.

Moreover, there were the scientific aspects of the problem, which needed to be taken into consideration, such as blood type and compatibility. Otherwise, there would be some complications.

Even if he ignored the blood type, he still had to worry about the possible contamination in the blood beforehand. After all, the black-cloaked vampire man was not human like him. Therefore, there were bound to be differences in their physiology.

However, when he absorbed the blood this time, he sucked in everything without cleansing the blood like he always did before assimilating with them.

And that was in part due to his discovery this time.

In the past, Randy needed to intake blood to initiate his Blood Assimilation Ability. However, what he didn’t know at the time was where the blood that he consumed ended up or how it altered his bloodline as a whole.

.....

But now that he had entered the Blood Space within his body with the help of his Ancestral Regression skill, he was able to ascertain that whenever he consumed the blood of others, they get transferred into one of the many blood spaces in his body before the assimilation truly begins.

According to what he could observe of the blood spaces, they were tiny blood orbs that seemed to be part of his bloodstream. They floated very naturally within his bloodstream when he used his Dimensional Sense and his Inner Sight to observe them earlier.

The Inner Sight was something he discovered capable of doing after breaking through to the second stage as an evolved human- it was simply the ability to see the internal or inner workings inside his body.

Though the Inner Sight function seemed to be limited to only observation, it was still useful. This was more so if coupled with the Dimensional Sense skill that focuses on analysis and scrutiny.

As for how many blood spaces he actually has in his body, even if he doesn’t know. But he could tell that they were without a doubt part of his bloodstream, so it could be countless.

However, the current him couldn’t perceive most of them and could only see a few of them after he entered the second stage as an evolved human. For now, most of them were imperceptible.

He estimates that as his stage as an evolved human increases as well as the increase in blood energy, he would be able to perceive more blood spaces. Furthermore, he would even be able to use them for many things previously unimaginable to him.

That aside, after visiting the blood spaces a few times with the aid of the Ancestral Regression skill, coupled with the increase in his blood energy he had come to understand the function of the blood spaces in general, as he could now vividly sense and know how to use them due to his elevated stage as an evolved human.

According to his current perception and understanding of the blood spaces- he could use them to store blood in his body, which he could then use later to execute his blood-related skills. This was very convenient, as he didn’t have to worry about procuring blood to carry out his future blood manipulation techniques.

Randy had been worried about using his blood for some time now, so this discovery solved that issue for him.

As much as he wanted to use his blood manipulation frequently in battle, he did not want to use his own blood in doing so.

Furthermore, it was a hassle to collect blood in containers or something just to use his ability, so he never bothered with them. So now that he could siphon the blood of others in close proximity and also store them for later use, most of his problems were solved.

And just like that, he had completely drained the black-cloaked vampire man’s blood to the last drop.

The vampire man, however, had a look of disbelief on his face the whole time as he felt his life-blood drained before he could even utter a scream of pain.

Furthermore, he wasn’t even able to regenerate as Randy also absorbed the factor of his regeneration through siphoning all of his blood.

This was only natural. As vampiric beings were creatures of blood, they may have survived for a few minutes without blood in their bodies, but eventually, they would die if exposed to sunlight. More so if they did not consume blood in time before sunrise.

However, Randy cruelly absorbed all of the black-cloaked vampire man’s blood into his body without leaving a single scrap behind, so he instantly killed the black-cloaked vampire man before he had time to react to the pain that ensued afterward.

Although this blood-cloaked vampire man hasn’t yet disintegrated into nothing due to the shade within the forest, he would quickly disappear when exposed to the sunlight.

Before Randy executed his blood siphoning technique, he first made sure that the vampire man did not have black blood like the demons that he fought earlier. Because for some reason he couldn’t assimilate, or rather he thinks that he couldn’t assimilate with their blood.

Not to mention that he was almost done in by their dark energy. That sinister dark energy very likely has something to do with their blood being blood instead of any color for that matter.

Randy instinctively loathed the dark energy that those demons and the chimera monster used; it was to the point where he felt it repulsive rather than sinister.

This was one of the reasons why Randy didn’t bother to use such a powerful technique on the black-horned demon. Another reason was the potential failure in the execution of the technique since his enemy was vastly stronger than this black-cloaked vampire man.

A short while later, Randy suddenly dropped the husk of the black-cloaked vampire man on the ground, breaking the eerie silence in the forest.

Meanwhile, the scene that had unfolded dumbfounded and frightened the only bystander in that place- the black-haired girl.
