Blood Assimilation-Chapter 224

224 Enlightenment! Wait! Did I win, or did I lose?

With the aid of the life and death situation, Randy felt cornered so much that he racked his brain by going through all his skills, techniques, and abilities, and at some point, an incoherent sequence of thoughts came to him.

This sequence of thoughts was faint at first, almost elusive, but eventually, they became clear and comprehensive in his mind. And when that happened, instantly, he knew what he had to do.

‘Why didn’t I think of these methods before?’ Randy wondered why he couldn’t think of his current thoughts before this.

However, now was not the time to brood over such matters, so he immediately cleared his thoughts as soon as they surfaced within a split second.

With firm resolution, within that moment of insight, unbeknownst to him, his eyes abruptly glowed with a faint amber-golden color, reminiscent of his eye color when he entered his ancestral form. However, unlike the times when he entered his ancestral form, his hair color was still silvery-white from his current assimilated state’s trait.

At this point, it was almost like he had purposely semi-regressed into his ancestral form using his Ancestral Regression skill. But in reality, that wasn’t the case at all.

In truth, ever since he found out that someone had been observing him during that time in the village he came across after arriving in Acruxia, he had made up his mind to not use his ancestral form carelessly in public, lest it gets traced back to him, or someone learns of his secret identities and use them against him.

Thus, during the battle against the demons, he unconsciously avoided using his ancestral form and only used his newly acquired skills.

Even so, at this critical juncture in the battle against the black-horned demon, not only did he use his trump card, assimilated state, but he also unknowingly entered his ancestral form during combat.

.....

However, the current ancestral form was not complete since his hair hadn’t turned blood-red, and he still maintained his assimilated state, Werewolf King of Wind’s appearance.

Unaware of the circumstances surrounding his current state of mind and body, Randy merely activated one of his skills to the extreme.

[[Blood Authority Skill Activated]]

Subsequently, ethereal, and imperceptible ripples, which were felt only by him, surged out within his body.

The next moment, as if under some sort of influence, black blood started oozing out of Randy’s arm through the pores on his right arm. But the color of his blood at this time was strange, as it was black instead of the regular red color.

Although shocked momentarily, he continued to expel the contaminated blood from his body through the numerous pores on his right arm.

Randy did not dare to cut his affected arm to speed up the process and merely relied on the pores on his skin instead. After all, there was a chance he might fail in expelling the contaminated blood if he did something careless.

At least, he strongly felt that it was too dangerous to disrupt the flow paths of the blood that only he could sense at that moment.

Finally, he ended up expelling all the contaminated blood from his body.

Luckily, the Blood Authority skill did not rely on mana or magical energy to be activated. Instead, it depended on his blood energy, so he didn’t have to worry about his lack of mana. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

Furthermore, just now, in his moment of plight, he suddenly gained enlightenment on his Blood Authority skill, which allowed him to turn the tables at the last minute.

The Blood Authority skill had also become easier to execute now that his evolutional energy, blood energy, had increased after his first evolution.

Thus, he further developed new and old applications of his Blood Authority skill.

They were: Blood Halt, Blood Siphon, and Blood Amplification.

Both the Blood Halt and Blood Siphon were something he extensively used during his few battles, but the Blood Amplification was a new concept that dawned on him.

Just by the name, Blood Amplification was a technique that amplifies the rate and flow of his blood to increase his overall physical capabilities when in combat. Not only that, but he could also regulate the discharge flow of his blood by speeding up the Blood Siphon effect when used on himself.

Somehow, he felt like he had used this technique before after coming up with it just now, but he doesn’t remember when.

Moreover, with his current control of blood and blood energy utilization, all deemed contaminations within his blood could be purged from his body with a mere thought from him.

Naturally, the dark energy that contaminated his blood was no exception.

That was why the speed at which he expelled the contaminated black blood from his body was faster.

After that, it was easy to get rid of the residue of the dark energy.

Randy assumed that the reason why he could do such a thing was most likely because of his unknown evolutional energy, which seemed indiscernible even to him.

“How is that possible?!”

This time, the black-horned displayed an expression of disbelief when he saw Randy unscathed from the corrosion of his demonic energy’s nature.

However, the next moment, he felt his body pierced from behind. He looked down at his chest but was dumbfounded. His body trembled in trepidation.

At this moment, Randy was gripping the black-horned demon’s heart with his whole arm still inside the other party’s body.

But, unlike before, Randy’s body did not get pervaded by the sinister dark energy, as it seemed to avoid his arm instead under the influence of his blood energy.

“How can this be? You’re not affected by my demonic divine ability? Also, how were you able to escape from the influence of my danger sense ability, which should’ve been impossible to bypass... Unless you’re...”

With blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, the black-horned demon weakly questioned in disbelief. His unique ability had always allowed him to escape life-threatening danger up until now.

Randy did not bother to answer his question and ruthlessly crushed the black-horned demon’s heart before pulling his arm from the other party’s chest.

Afterward, he quickly dispelled the lingering unearthly and sinister dark energy that persistently tried to invade his body.

Randy didn’t bother to waste any more time on him because he noticed that he couldn’t resist all the sinister dark energy trying to encroach into his body.

After all, resisting the sinister dark energy took a lot of his blood energy, and he was running out of blood energy after expending much to get rid of the black blood and dark energy within his body. Thus, he had to end the fight before the other party succeeded in using their ability to affect him again.

‘Now, it is finally over. I wonder how my incarnation is doing?’

With that thought, he ignored his exhausted state of mind and turned to face the direction of the other side of the battlefield where the red-scaled demon and his incarnation body were fighting.

However, he was instantly shocked to see that there was already an outcome.

Moreover, upon closer observation, the scene resulting from the outcome of their fight was very baffling, to say the least, as there were large craters and destroyed landmarks everywhere but no one in sight.

“Eh? Wait! Did I win, or did I lose?”
