BXBX NOVEL Chapter 312 Principles Of Bloodline Extraction
"Hmm… interested," Ray muttered as he scratched his chin and continued to read the notification in front of him.
[Tringg… Host has come in contact with compatible elven bloodline. Proceed with extraction?],
He started at the text for a few more seconds before calling up on Aurora,
"Hey Aurora. What\'s up with this? I faintly remember you telling me that once I reach a certain level, the system can use others bloodlines and their abilities but you didn\'t explain it much back then. Please elaborate a bit," Ray asked as he waited for Aurora to answer.
In the meanwhile, he used his spatial storage and brought out a small vial filled with some low grade mana potion. He emptied t contents and cleaned the vial with a bit of water he had upon him. Then, he brought the vial close to the elven woman\'s finger as a couple of drops of her blood dripped into the vial. He stored the blood and decided to tackle the thing later on.
Right now, he had to take care of the elf. Even Aurora understood the circumstances as she spoke, "Yes, I will explain it to you after you get free,"
Ray nodded and walked to the elven woman who was crying out in pain. It wasn\'t just physical pain but the pain from her soul as well and this caused Ray to life an eyebrow. He vaguely understood that the Void element worked on a more complicated and deeper level than he had thought.
As for achieving more proficiency in it, Ray had to simply train with it and use it more and more to get used to it. Also, he had Mag\'ladroth and the system for more help.
Right now, he had decided to go out and hunt more and more beasts to use their spirit crystals to attain more skills and spells from the system.
But before that, he had told deal with the elven woman. The head nurse had arrived by now and was checking up on the woman with a slight frown on her face,
"Ray, her finger," She asked with her hand stretched out.
"Ugh.. Here you go," Ray handed back the elven woman\'s finger. He felt a bit embarrassed because the women around him surely looked at him with a strange eye. He didn\'t want to look like a pervert with an obsession for fingers if different women.
The head nurse ignored Ray\'s antics and went back to her work. Her hands glowed softly as she healed the finger back in place without any issue. She was a Celestial after all.
However, one thing remained. Even though she could heal the physical injuries, healing damage to soul wasn\'t that easy. The head nurse understood that Ray had inflicted a deeper wound on the prisoner. Therefore, she didn\'t scurry over to heal that. She knew that Ray had a reason for this.
With this, she backed away as the elven woman continued to groan in pain despite being healed. Ray nodded at the head nurse tacitly and took a step forward.
Her eyes turned strange as one room the greyish color of the void while the other had done sort of fire burning through it. Though, the fire seemed to encompass all time of the universe.
This was sort of an intimidation tactic by Ray as he knew that the elven woman was on verge of breaking. Just a small push and he would have achieved his objective.
"See, I can heal the pain for all you want but you need to cooperate with me and I can promise that you will be left alone. However, if you dare continue with this resistance of yours, I will make sure to make you scream till the depths of hell," As Ray spoke, he did so slowly and softly. His voice was as cold as ice and his expression was maniacal.
A devilish and dark energy surrounded him as his aura turned dark. He seemed to absorb his surroundings into him as palpable rage burned in his heart.
For a second, he felt like giving into his rage but suddenly halted. His eyes turned clear as he realized something.
"Why am I acting in such a way?" as he thought to himself, he looked at the elven woman and realized.
\'She was acting all along and had fooled him successfully,\' She wasn\'t helpless. Ray\'s eyes widened for a second as the realization hit him and he understood that the woman as more dangerous than he thought her to be.
But that increased his curiosity even more. Just what was her purpose to be here? If she was this strong, she could have at least ran away and what if she had more hidden cards with her?
As Ray came to his conclusion, he turned around and looked at the two girls with a solemn expression. He spoke, "Call my mother and all the other members of the team. Also, invite Nia. I have something important to discuss,"
A few minutes later, everyone had arrived in the small room as they waited for Ray to start.
All this while, Ray had sat a few meters away from the woman as he seemed to be thinking something. In reality, Ray was discussing the topic of the elven blood with Aurora.
"So it\'s like this. The system can absorb any exquisite blood you are compatible with extract its bloodline features and abilities so you can use them later on. However, there is a limit to it. You can not use the bloodline abilities indefinitely and nor can you extract as many bloodline as you like. As it is right now, you can extract three bloodlines at once and use their abilities and characteristic thrice before they vanish," Aurora explained the whole process as Ray simply nodded in understanding.
He knew that the system wasn\'t omnipotent but still, what Aurora had told him about it was nothing short of extraordinary. Just a chance to try new powers was a great experience. Not to mention that Ray could store up on powerful defense bloodlines to save his hide in thick situations.
A question popped up in Ray\'s mind as he asked, "What if I carry some blood as back up and extract the bloodline whenever I want to?"
Hearing his question, Aurora sighed. Ray couldn\'t stop himself from finding loophole but sadly for him, the system wasn\'t susceptible to his thought.
"No, you can extract one bloodline for once every three months. So if you want to wait it out, there is no issue with your thought but I would rather ask you not to rely too much on this feature,,
"Why? This ability to extract bloodlines and use them will give me a lot of leeway when fighting stronger opponents," Ray countered as he didn\'t understand why Aurora didn\'t want him to use the new ability as much.
"Well, you will become overly reliant on others power and not yours. Your goal is to become stronger on your own accord and not to steal someone else\'s strength. This ability of the system is just a means to an end to cover up your abysmal weaknesses until you can naturally counter them on your own,"
As Ray heard Aurora\'s words, he realized that he was going off track once again. She was right, he had to get stronger on his own or else he wouldn\'t even be able to break through the boundary of Magical Realm and enter into the Calamity Realm.
Therefore, Ray just stored the vial of blood in his storage and left it for later. By the time his talk with Aurora ended, everyone had gathered.
He looked at everyone and smiled wryly. He knew how everyone had been tricked by the elven woman but what could they do? She had disguised her strength perfectly and if not for Ray, they would have faced a great calamity.
"Guys, this prisoner over here isn\'t as simple as it seems. She is way stronger than we thought and she has been captured on her own accord. Or that is what I have concluded from the clues I have gathered," Ray spoke as he walked to the elven woman and looked right into her eyes.
"Lets end this game and see what your real reason for coming here is," Ray spoke as his hands lit up with a purplish fire while a feather formed over his hand. The feather was riddled with different marks as they congregated to form the figure of sundial.
