"When the Venerable of Blood was alive, he developed Blood Magic and combined it with the power of something he called Ki, which he refined into "Blood Ki", combining both Blood Magic and Blood Ki, coupled with the power of Divine Power, he managed to create incredible powers that surpassed common sense. One of them was {Blood Seeker}" Said Rose.
"Ki… I've heard of this before; it was one of the things that helped Larzak grow strong and even deal damage to the Chaos Spirit. If I am not wrong, it is a power of the body, right? I think I've developed it already, but I haven't touched upon it due to being concentrated into dealing with my Divine Power…" I sighed.
"Yes, when Ki, Mana, and Divine Power merge together, the true power of the elements can be awakened and used. The Ancestor developed something mystical with it, forming incredible and supernatural powers that later on were known as the Vampires' [Blood Arts], not many can wield such power. Only Pure-Blood and Ancestral Blood Vampires can even fathom to use their power even so slightly… Ruby, who is an Ancestral Blood Pure Vampire, can use them all without problems- of course, she lacks the energy to conjure them." Said Rose.
"This power… then the pendant had it?" I wondered.
"Most likely… or not. If Ruby had it, the pendant might had simply give her the necessary divine power it required for her to use it. {Bloodline Seeker} teleports a Vampire towards where their kin is, by choice. With this, the Venerable and his closest servants explored the world and conquered it in a matter of days in the long past." Said Rose.
"So he used this power… it can even ignore the divine realm's spatial walls?" I sighed.
"Yes, it seems to be able to ignore them quite easily…" Said Rose.
"So… she was brought back to turn into the bastard's vessel!" Roared Rakasha. "But why?! Ruby would never agree to it!"
"She was probably blackmailed." Said Rose. "We Vampires are cunning, our ancestor is the most cunning of them all, fooling a child is not hard. Simply threatening her with lies is enough to convince her, he has the skill for it… He probably threatened her with something very important."
Agh, I am such an idiot. I've been concentrated into my own family and my powers, so I completely forgot about the pendant. Now that I had the power to absorb divinity, I could had stopped this entire thing if I got to talk more with Ruby and asked her to allow me to touch her pendant. I know it curses those that touch it and that it drains life or something, but as a god, I doubt it can do much, especially for an Immortal, Ageless, Dragon God such as me… Sigh. If I could had absorbed that pendant's divinity, I could had gained a good amount of power and perhaps empty it from the divine soul fragment inside. I lost a good chance to grow stronger and also to protect Ruby from this bastard.
"It is my fault; I should had dealt with it earlier now that I am a God… I keep forgetting important stuff because I end up concentrating into my family and myself…" I sighed.
"No, it is not your fault, Drake… This is something beyond us…" Sighed Rakasha.
"Indeed…" Said Fuyu.
"Hmmm…" I sighed, as I looked into her bed attentively, and suddenly, out of nowhere…
Ding!
[Slight amounts of [Divinity] had been detected lingering around]
[Do you wish to absorb it?]
Huh? Lingering Divinity amounts? I can even absorb this tiny amount? Isn't this a bit too much, System?
[There's divinity spread everywhere in the world, but only in places where a lot of it was used recently is when it can be absorbed, it is not much, but it could also give you clues to what you need, host]
Oh, you're strangely more considered now… Hah, I missed that.
[…I am always considerate with the host. I must always prioritize the host as his servant]
Ah, come on, don't talk so robotically.
[…]
Nothing. Alright, I better just absorb the divinity. I pressed as the absorption immediately began, the lingering divinity gathered into a mass of red blood energy, like a bubble of pure and glistening blood, bright and quite beautiful, honestly. The energy gathered together into my hand, and I quickly absorbed it without thinking it twice, the power gathered into my body and was absorbed by it.
FLASH!
Ding!
[You have absorbed a small lingering amount of Divinity]
[You acquired the [Divinity Fragment of Blood] x5]
[Using ten Divinity Fragments, you can create an [Auxiliary Divinity of the element of the fragments]
[You gained +15000 Divine Power]
And with that, a sudden image emerged inside of my mind, as I felt like I absorbed a bubble with some lingering nightmarish essence. I opened my eyes wide as I saw something, images of countless eyes talking to a tiny girl. I tried to make them in order and see what it truly was, but quickly found out it was quite hard, nonetheless, I swiftly analyzed everything in detail.
I realized this was a nightmare realm that has been dissipating for a while, it had memories of what happened there, and I was able to see a few of them… Ruby was there, she was trapped inside of it and the Venerable threatened her with something… Wait, he threanted her with taking over her and slaughtering the children inside of the room?! Bastard.
I quickly explained this to the rest of the people here, as they nodded and understood. It seems that Rakasha was rather shocked, all while I asked Rose if it was actually possible for the venerable in the pendant to possess the little girl and do all he said.
"No, it is not possible at all… He's still in a slumbering state, his powers are very limited. He tricked her." She sighed.
