Chapter 130: Ourous Dempire
"I see… So what are the benefits of doing that?" Erix curiously asked.
While waiting for Rin to finish her Bloodline infusing process, Lilith and Erix were talking about Lilith's circumstances that led to this development.
"Benefits are plenty, but you won't be able to break away from the Mystic Roots before crossing level 200. In short, you have to become a Royal-order being."
"That seems a bit far for now," Erix wryly smiled.
*Crack…*
Suddenly, the cocoon wrapping up Rin cracked before it shattered into countless motes and got absorbed into her body.
"Wow," Erix was amazed.
Rin looked different! She had two red horns, beautiful ruby eyes, and some strange pattern on the right side of her forehead.
A pair of beautiful dark red wings also unfurled from her back while a strange red and black aura oozed out from her.
But a second later, she reverted back to her human form and finally opened her eyes.
"So, this is the power of bloodlines?" Rin muttered.
Erix checked Rin's stats and wryly smiled. "What the heck?"
Rin actually had an additional 100 points in all stats, including magic! And bonus 1000 mana capacity!
Lilith chuckled and said, "That's not all. In her Bloodline Form, she will receive an additional boost in stats. Although she can only maintain that form as long as she spends Blood Essence."
"Which I don't have any for now," Rin said before taking a deep breath.
"Check your Bloodline Tree and tell me what's the first skill you got," Lilith said.
Rin nodded.
[Bloodline: Ourous Demphire ]
_Grade: Legendary
_Level: 1 [ 0 / 100 Blood Essence ]
_Skills:
—> 1. Dominion Flare Orbs.
—> 2. Unlocks at level 2.
Rin focused on Dominion Flare and got its details.
[Dominion Flare Orbs]
_Type: Bloodline skill.
_Cost: 5 Blood Essence & 100 Mana.
_Effect: Conjure a black flare on the tip of the index finger to shoot three thumb-sized orbs at your will.
—> Each orb deals damage equal to 500% of the Magic stat + 200% of the Strength stat of the user.
"Are you kidding me?!" Rin was dumbfounded looking at the skill's effect.
"Erix, look."
Rin shared the skill with Erix and Lilith.
"You got an offense-type skill as your first bloodline skill," Lilith chuckled. "That's good. You can solve tough problems as long as you have Blood Essence."
"When will I get my bloodline?" Erix pouted.
Lilith blew a kiss towards Erix and grinned, "When you reach Noble order, we'll begin collecting the best resources to manifest your unique bloodline."
"Does this place in my Bloodline Frame's heart store the Blood Essence?" Rin asked after she checked the Bloodline Frame in her Origin Region.
Beside her Magic core was a humanoid frame resembling her in a dreamy red structure. In the frame's beating heart was an ongoing process that was dripping a tiny bit of minuscule red spark into the heart.
"Yep. As long you have higher physical and magical activity, the bloodline frame will continue to process. Usually, you can produce one or two Blood Essence crystals per day."
"And you also need to eat more energy-rich high-tier food from now on to maintain your Blood Essence production," Lilith added with a grin.
Rin raised her eyebrows, and her gaze went towards Erix. "I feel like there's a better way to get Blood Essence quicker."
"You can feel it?" Lilith chuckled.
"I can feel it," Rin looked at Erix with a nod and licked her lips. "This bloodline is giving me a strange feeling of hunger towards Erix."
Erix coughed before he cheekily grinned.
"I have unlimited stamina."
…
After an hour, Rin and Erix left the mansion.
"It's already noon, Erix. Let's quickly reach level 100 and get Lilith to help us break through to Noble order."
"It's going to be easy peasy for you," Erix chuckled.
Indeed.
Erix and Rin directly went to the north of the Star-Rain mountain range, entering the territory of level 100+ monsters.
Both of them were at a party, so they shared experiences. However, with Rin getting significantly stronger, her contribution to the fights was more, so she reached level 100 in four hours of constant battles while Erix reached level 98.
As such, they didn't stop, and Erix continued battling to his best and even using Babin Maw Hook constantly to experience its strange world.
More time passed, and the duo continued battling before night soon arrived.
When the suns fully disappeared and the moons rose in the sky, Erix and Rin sat on a boulder at the beach of the rumbling ocean.
The area around them was littered with lots of giant monsters in herds like Crystal Flon Crabs, Berserk Clams, Triple-Legged Sword Fish, and more such monsters.
Erix lay on Rin's lap and said with a contented smile, "Finally reached level 100."
"I feel too lazy to harvest cores from these monsters," Rin also slumped on Erix and released a tired sigh. "Why do I not have unlimited stamina? Although I am not tired, I can feel a slight exhaustion. Meanwhile, you are completely fine despite fighting so much."
"Maybe it's a trait unique to me?" Erix pulled Rin's cheeks while cheekily smiling. "But my mind is a bit exhausted, and I need something to relive it."
They'd been fighting since noon with only little breaks, and they fought more and ever before with stronger monsters, so Rin was also feeling slight exhaustion while Erix had a bit of mind exhaustion.
"I have something," Rin chuckled and removed her leather armor as it disappeared into inventory. The garment she wore beneath also vanished before two pairs of melons hit Erix's face.
"Ahem, I can produce milk," Rin cheekily smiled, "Wanna have a drink?"
"Eh? You are pregnant, or you just can produce it?"
"Of course, I can't afford to be pregnant at our current stage," Rin burst out laughing. "This is something I can do because you've given me plenty of stuff to process before."
"Oh…let's see," Erix's grabbed a breast and started sucking it like a baby before milk soon streamed into his mouth.
"It's tasty."
But suddenly, both of them felt a presence before they heard a jokingly displeased voice.
"You two shameless birds. Why don't you just return first?"
Rin smacked her lips, "Lilith, don't scare us like that."
"I need energy first," Erix said with a snort before he continued sucking.
