BXBX NOVEL Chapter 371 - Hunting The Blood
Yet, after feeling the power they had right now when compared to their old selves and hearing the comforting words from Felix, all of them were instantly grateful to be the first one who got this kind of power.
As Desmond expected, most of his subordinates had the same background as Ken, they had already given up their life.
He didn\'t give them a choice because of their loyalty; unlike Ken and Felix who had already proven their loyalty, most of his subordinates were followers of Felix\'s past, they only followed him because of Felix and also after he displayed his power.
By now, ten out of twenty of Desmond\'s subordinates had become a half-beast, while the rest were off for duty, wandering around the imperial empire, searching for the potion or method for him to enter the realm of 1st class mage.
....
At Desmond\'s mansion, inside the experiment room, Ken was seen lying on the stone tablet with the sound of teeth were grinding and a groan came out from his mouth. His expression looked so painful, and in a sudden, he bit the bottom of his lips, causing blood to flow, and spread through to his bare chest.
Beside him, Desmond was seen holding a custom syringe with another green blood in the barrel that slowly depleted in his hand after the needle had pierced Ken\'s skin.
Green blood began flowing through his veins, spreading to all parts of his body, which eventually made his face look sour and greenish.
After a few minutes passed, the injection process had finally finished. By now, Ken\'s face had changed into pale while he kept roughly breathing, also looking at his young master with a quizzical.
"I still need you in the future to do dangerous tasks, and that was another blood that gives you more chance to survive," Facing Ken\'s quizzical look, Desmond calmly replied while cleaning the remaining blood on the syringe barrel. He glanced at Ken who was dazed, staring at the empty air before him as he sat up straight on the stone bench.
As Desmond observed Ken, checking his condition after the injection, a transparent screen suddenly came into his view that disturbed his focus.

Desmond was stunned upon looking at the new transformation on Ken\'s stats. Wow, that\'s a little beyond my expectations, he thought. As he was absentminded, looking at Ken\'s stats, he suddenly saw Ken turned around, facing him with his head lowered.
"My King, I found another fellow of my kind is inside my body. "
Desmond squinted at him and then asked, "What did the beast say?" At the same time, he noticed a long furry tail wiggling behind Ken\'s body.
Instead of answering Desmond\'s question, Ken suddenly crouches down, taking a position of how a wolf stands. His arms stood at four feet with many wrinkles and tendons began appearing over his body, especially at his shoulder parts.
At this moment, the shoulder suddenly bulged out like a pregnant woman, slowly becoming bigger until...
Creak!
A soft breaking sound was heard from his tendons, ripping off the flesh connected into the body that eventually grew out a white bone that looked like a long claw.
Blood splattered on the floor with Ken\'s pale face had become whitened due to lack of blood. However, instead of panicking and looking for help, there was a trace of calmness in his eyes as he tried to look behind at the newly formed bones.
The newly formed bones looked like a long claw with the bone parts that were split into three different parts with a fairly wide distance between them. Each of the bones had 170cm(5,6 ft) long, on par with the golden-crowned flying fox, rumored to be the king of the bat.
Desmond was already distanced enough on the other side, observing Ken from afar. Then he noticed that the surrounding natural energy gathered around Ken\'s newly formed bones.
Those small white balls surrounded the bones and the other parts of Ken\'s body, only revealing a faint white shadow of some part he was familiar with.
"A wing," Desmond stated. As soon he spoke, the natural energy blasted to the surrounding, slightly pushing the items on this room and revealing an orange-looking membrane enveloped the bones connected to the rest of the newly formed bones.
At the same time, many transparent screens began appearing on his view, scanning the new target and eventually showing new data from Ken.

"Very good; by having wings to fly and maneuver in the sky, you can scout the surrounding area," Desmond nodded and was satisfied while sizing up Ken\'s wings. His life span also increased by fifty years, which made him live twice the average human.
On the other side, Ken didn\'t know there was a transparent screen hovering before him, he was too curious and immediately tried to adapt to his new body parts to become useful after hearing his master\'s compliment.
....
After a few moments, Desmond suddenly noticed the calmness and the politeness in Ken\'s words which made him realize the Ken he saw now was the human Ken personality, not the beast.
Then, how did he end up calling me, the king? Desmond thought but then realized there were additional changes in his eyes, especially the pupils. Ken\'s right pupil was slit while the others were normal as a human.
"Why don\'t your personality become one? It\'s also annoying to speak to you like this," Out of curious Desmond asked.
As Desmond asked, he noticed Ken had flinched upon his question; his mouth began to tremble, letting out a growl, clearly he was in conflict with his two beasts.
"My-M-Y-Young master, if we becom- if I," As Ken was blabbering, he did not realize his tone and words were mixed between the beast personality, causing his words to be unstructured and unrecognizable before finally Desmond stopped him.
"Stop," Desmond spoke with a frown as he saw Ken\'s complicated expression. " Discuss with your other personalities first."
To Desmond\'s words, Ken\'s eyes were darting to the left and right while his head was kept raising and lowering. Only after a moment of silence, Ken\'s finally gazing straight at Desmond\'s with a faint shadow of two beasts reflected on his eyes,
"We agree, my king, however, by doing this our personality will be mixed up like before, causing some actions could not be controlled. However, there\'s a solution to this problem.
"Only after sensing the aura of you, my king, we can calm down again and control our actions to become harmony." After Ken\' spoke, Desmond just stared at him for a moment, observing his eyes and the way how the tail kept wiggling.
"I see, that\'s not a problem for me; just remember to restrain yourself. " As Desmond spoke this word, his eye turned slit at the same time the shadow of black dragon finally came out from his back, piercing through Ken\'s eyes that eventually made him limp and lay on the ground.
"Go ahead merge, and then call the others, I have an important mission for them," Desmond added. The next moment he waved his hands, causing several cauldrons to be pulled to him like a magnet.
At the same time, his hands began controlling the faint natural energy on the air, forming another layer of barrier that eventually enveloped Ken\'s right hand.
"Before that, I need a lot of your blood," without waiting for Ken\'s answer, Desmond pulled his custom syringe from the table and instantly injected it into Ken\'s right hand. Ken who was laying on the ground could only wryly smile at the process.
