Blood Assimilation

Chapter 74 - Devour

Randy thought about the various ways that he could use to improve his strength within a short time.

After deeply thinking about it for a while, he deeply sighed and then muttered in dismay.

"For now, I could only rely on using these beast cores and my physique to increase my strength… Right now, I don't even have a cultivation manual for the other professions like spiritual energy cultivation, psionic energy cultivation, and even that mystical energy. As for the magical energy, maybe I can ask mom about whether she still has cultivation method with her and for life energy or Qi, I think my dad practices martial arts a little along with his blood manipulation which relies on his evolutional energy."

Evolutional energy was a type of energy that causes species to evolve, and it might not be the same for everyone. For example, in Randy's case, it was blood energy, but in his father's case, it might be something else entirely despite both of them having the ability to manipulate blood.

There were even others who evolve themselves using magical energy and other forms of energy. These people do not cultivate the energies normally like everyone else who needed to gather the energies into their bodies using a specific technique.

Those who evolve using the energies only needed to feast on magical creatures and upon consumption, they would be able to absorb the energies within the meat of the creatures, but this method was very slow so no one would want to use this method to get stronger and so, they also chose to use the energy gathering techniques to increase their evolution stage.

But unlike ordinary humans, they do not store the energy in a specific part inside their bodies, rather they only needed the energy to enter their body and into their bloodstream, thus triggering their evolution.

The only comparison to these types of humans would be mutated beasts since they too evolved due to the sudden outburst of that invaded this due to the gates and rifts that started appearing decades ago.

Thinking of this, Randy shook his head and immediately looked at the magical beast core in his hand and then at his Combat System Power Levels on his status screen.

'According to this, I am only a beginner level fourth circle magician realm, but I have been wondering this for a while now… Why does it say that I am a magician and not a magical warrior? I don't recall learning any magical spells or anything like that… is it because I am not a proper magical warrior? Whatever! I will think about this later and I can even ask the system… but for now, it says that I need about 300 points of mana to break through to the next realm of the magical realm.'

Randy deeply thought about this to himself, and he looked at the combat power level section on his status screen.

With that out of the way, he turned back to the notification from before…

?[[Would the host like to activate his special physique, 'Myriad Energy Devouring Physique' to absorb the energy contained within this magical beast core]]?

While looking at these lines of text, Randy concentrated on this and then firmly replied: "Activate my physique."

[[Response Acknowledged!]]

[[Activating physique, 'Myriad Energy Devouring Physique']]

[[Your Physique's ability, 'Devour' is being activated]]

[[Physique ability 'Devour' is fully activated]]

---

Swoosh!

Immediately after these lines of notifications appeared, Randy could feel the beast core in his hand suddenly being drained of its energy as all the energy pervaded his body through his pores.

The feeling of the energy entering his body was so natural that it made him feel as if he was taking a warm shower of magical energy.

He could feel the energy coursing through his veins and then traveling his blood vessels as they made their way towards his heart area before setting in his mana seed that was created during his awakening.

Randy had no idea what this mana seed was since it appears to be different from what he knew about a magician energy core.

Nonetheless, with this mana seed, he could still accumulate mana just like an actual magician or magical warrior.

With that thought in mind, Randy closed his eyes to savor this otherworldly feeling that he had never felt before…

No, this feeling was akin to the feeling he felt when he took those energy recovering potions and health recovering potions during his physical training at the academy.

He had always thought that it was so strange for someone like him who did not have any energy compatibility to feel the rush of energy increasing within his body.

  And it was not simply just magical energy, but also all the different energy potions that he bought.

At this moment, he finally understood why he always felt that way. It turns out it was because of his 'Myriad Energy Devouring physique' that allowed him to devour all forms of energy, in other words as long something had energy within them, he could always devour them if he activates his physique like now. 

[[You have fully absorbed the energy essence contained within the magical beast core]]

[[Due to absorbing the energy essence within the magical beast core, your magical energy had increased slightly]]

The system announced to him after all the energy within the beast core was drained dry.

"Crack!"

The crystal-like core broke apart as it fell on his bed like a husk that had been drained of it contains.

Randy did not waste any more time and quickly grabbed two magical beast cores, holding them in both hands.

His physique's ability was still activated, so the moment Randy grabbed those two magical beast cores, he could feel the rush of energy entering his body once again, revitalizing his blood vessels as they traveled to his chest area.

The system displayed more notifications after he finished absorbing the energy.

But Randy did not bother to look at them as he continued picking more magical beast cores and absorbing the energy within until they were completely drained of energy, leaving the beast cores having no semblance to their previous shining luster.
