Chapter 495 - 4 Drops Of Dragon Blood & Suffering

Chapter 495 – 4 Drops Of Dragon Blood & Suffering

From the beginning, she had thought that Eric wouldn't be able to draw more than 3 drops of blood from her for his second evolution.

After all, even that was surpassing the limits of a normal human being, so seeing 4 drops of Dragon Blood actually fall down from the current eggshell she was residing in, it completely stupefied her.

Even descendants born between a Real Dragon, and a human being, or another species would be given only 3 drops of Real Dragon Blood to absorb and refine.

That wasn't due to their parents being stingy, or due to racism as they were just half-bloods but because that was the limit that they could survive through after their second evolution.

Eric was no half-blood Dragon, he was supposed to be just a normal human being, so it should be impossible for him to actually be able to absorb all four of those drops of Dragon Blood.

The Dragon Empress couldn't help but lament at her shitty luck, and this guy's misfortune. Until now she had thought that he was one of the luckiest people ever alive, but not that thought was gone.

Right now, she could only think that he was one of the unluckiest people to ever live. Heaven truly wouldn't make things easier for people like him.

It wasn't that she didn't want to help him out at this moment so that he could manage to survive through the entire hurdle, but unfortunately, she couldn't.

Eric seemed to have felt the danger of what was coming as well, as he couldn't help but place a solemn and serious expression on his face, as he looked at Takeshiba Aika and said,

"Things are bound to become even more dangerous now Aika! We might both die before this is over, if you want to leave now, I won't blame you!"

After their relationship and connection had been upgraded a while ago, Eric wanted to give her an opportunity to save her own life.

The response surprised and satisfied him, as Takeshiba Aika leaned over for a deep French kiss while saying,

"I will live and die with Master! I only hope that I will be by your side in our next life as well!"

Hearing those words Eric's heartbeat harder for a moment before he took a deep breath and then said with an excited voice,

"Hhahah~! How shameful of me! To think that I might give up before it even started in front of my woman!

I am truly a shame as the one who will stand at the Peak one day!

Don't worry Aika, I will make sure that we will survive this, no matter what!"

With that said, the determination and resolve in his heart seemed to grow exponentially, as he was ready to lay on the Whale's stomach and prepare for what was to come.

'PWAAAARRRGGGHHHHH~!'

Before he could concentrate on that though, he heard the unhappy cry of the little Whale he was inside, who clearly didn't like being left out of the occasion.

"Hahahaha~! Sure you too, Willa!"

This couldn't be kept a secret anymore, Eric's naming sense was inexistent. Taken by the spur of the moment, he actually named the little Whale as Willa, which had no meaning whatsoever, just sounded cool.

Or at least it sounded cool to him!

While most people would think that the name sucked, the little Whale actually released a cry of happiness like she had just received something extremely precious.

Takeshiba Aika just saw her Master with a weird look for a moment, before approaching close to him. She would be ready any time to help him out with his Life Law release.

'AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH~!'

It was at that moment that the 4 drops of Dragon Blood finally fell into Eric's bloodstream, and before he could say anything, his skin exploded with blood blowing out of his body.

The little Whale Willa's stomach was immediately covered in Eric's blood, as even Takeshiba Aika was soaked in it, turning into a blood-covered beauty.

This scene clearly startled but even terrified Takeshiba Aika and Willa who were fearing about Eric's life. 

The next moment, they both were able to hear an extremely low sound heartbeat, that seemed just like the beat of happiness, as they were both able to confirm that Eric was still alive.

That was just the beginning though, it was impossible for things to be that easy, as the next moment black flames enveloped Eric's body as a whole.

The temperature and sensation those flames gave were extremely weird, as they seemed extremely cold and extremely hot at the same time.

Immediately the black flames started charring the inner flesh of Willa's stomach, which was most certainly causing her great pain.

The charring that the black flames left behind was extremely weird, as they would leave behind a black burn mark, with the smell of burned flesh, while the sides of the mark were actually frozen.

As a self-defense mechanism, Willa could only open her mouth and let the ocean's water enter inside her stomach through her mouth.

Still, even though she was in great pain at that moment, she still tried her best to control the pressure of the water, so that Eric didn't suffer a lot due to it.

The moment that the ocean water came in close proximity with Eric's body though, it would immediately evaporate and then freeze to small particles.

Science was unable to explain these phenomena, as even Cultivators and Powerhouses of Earth and probably even further would have no idea of what was going on.

The biggest problem was that with the current pressure ocean water wasn't able to reach even half a meter close to Eric's body, making the burn on Willa's stomach continue.

Willa could only increase the water pressure at this time, and she immediately did that considering the situation, slowly the water she took inside was getting closer and closer to Eric's body.

'AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH~!'

Soon enough, the ocean water finally managed to reach Eric's body and wash him in it, as another powerful pain scream spread with Eric as the center, despite the water rushing inside his mouth.

There was one thing that the poor Whale didn't know and understand, the ocean water contained salt, which upon contact with wounds would make the pain receptors feel even more pain.

At that moment, Willa had just increased Eric's pain from level 1 to level 2 without any announcement, and the poor Eric couldn't do anything about it.

He completely understood the situation he was in, but he was unable to even be able to do or say anything, as he could only focus on absorbing and refining the Dragon Blood.

It was painful, it was scary, it was difficult, it was dangerous, but he didn't care. He was determined to succeed and survive.

Only such mentality would be able to help him out with his goals of reaching the exalted Peak of the World.

Willa and Takeshiba Aika seemed rearing to share his pain, but neither one of them was able to do something like that, and they could only watch and wait for him.

It was most certainly one of the worst moments in their lives, seeing someone extremely important to them and their lives, suffer like that in front of them.

Especially for Willa who had just gained her sentience and it was due to Eric's accidental effort. She looked at Eric as the reason for her being.

…

It took Eric more than 4 days of pain, torture, and suffering to finally manage to absorb and refine the 4 drops of Dragon Blood.

Unfortunately, the suffering for him wasn't over, as this was the time when he was most endangered.

If he wasn't able to actually release all the bottled-up extra energy inside him, and especially the one going towards his little brother, then he would end up exploding in thousands of pieces.

The worst part was that his black flames had still not left his body, and he looked just like some kind of scalding hot iron rod.

Takeshiba Aika certainly knew this, but she still didn't hesitate to actually jump into his arms, and immediately place his sword at her scabbard's entrance and then push it inside.

'AAarrrrggghhhnnnn~!'

Her insides were burning and freezing at the same time, but she didn't care, right now she had to do everything she could for her Master, even if it meant dying due to that.

She was determined to help him with whatever she could, she was determined to do anything she could for him.

Willa was the same, while Takeshiba Aika was using her body to serve him, she was trying her best to control the water inside her stomach, to transport Eric and Takeshiba Aika towards her mouth.

It was extremely difficult and painful for her as well, but she still managed to do that somehow, and then use her tongue as lightly and gently as she could in order to help them out.

Well, she was using her saliva to help Takeshiba Aika feel as little pain as she could, while she tried to make Eric climax and release his Life Law.

In the extremely exciting condition that Eric was right now, only the slightest movement and touch would drive him over the edge as long as he willed it, and so it happened.

Eric released all his special milk infused with his Life Law inside Takeshiba Aika's belly, helping her heal and recover from the pain and damage, while the excess went towards Willa.

It was a momentary relief though, as the next one pain returned once again…
