Chapter 42
{Bloodseeker’s Ultimatum}
Rank D — The Bloodseeker’s Energy increases by three times.
Rank E — All stats increased by two, and auto-activation is available.
Rank F — Absorb magic permanently from the outside. The magic within the body is converted to Bloodseeker’s Energy.
It was searing hot. It felt like his body temperature was rising higher than it should. Yoon-seok focused on the spread of Bloodseeker’s Internal Force throughout his body. It was different from vigor.
Then, what was this Bloodseeker’s Energy?
“…”
After experimenting several times, Yoon-seok had a rough idea. Bloodseeker’s Energy was a combination of energy between b Blood Pact} and b Heavenly Body}.
Whir!
His sword turned crimson, and his wounds heal automatically with the Bloodseeker’s Energy coursing through his veins. However, unlike b Blood Pact}, there was no Core. His only weakness disappeared.
“…”
Yoon-seok slowly tried to move the Bloodseeker’s Energy under his will. it was extremely similar to the energy of b Heavenly Body}. He could feel his hands strengthening when he focused it in his hands, and concentrating on his legs allowed him to run faster.
‘What about vigor?’
Yoon-seok remembered the path correctly, although he had only done it twice. Yoon-seok circulated Bloodseeker’s energy from the center of the body nine times in an anti-clockwise direction. However, there was no notification message saying that the quality had increased as before. But…
“…”
He wanted to fight. He can’t wait to face someone and smash them. As the thirst for competition flowed in his blood, it became harder to resist. His heart pounded to the point where it strongly felt like an active volcano was raging inside him. Yoon-seok tried hard to control his emotions calmly.
It was clear that this emotional change originated from energy. He was sure of it. So, did it mean this condition only made him lose his cool? With nothing to gain? Holding that thought, Yoon-seok tried to find something useful out of it while using the energy flow.
“…”
This time it didn’t end in nine cycles. Yoon-seok repeatedly circulated the energy in an anti-clockwise direction. As the cycle increased, the circulation speed of the energy accelerated. Anger…no, something more like madness was dominating his whole body. Yoon-seok continued to check on himself while leaving his body to this sense of madness.
Even at that moment, the circulation of the Bloodseeker’s energy was accelerating in an agitated state. At some point, red fog colored Yoon-seok’s skin like a haze as if he were covered in red smoke.
Yoon-seok hit his arm with his sword. The blade couldn’t pierce through his skin, much like the King of Steel, Kerixis. It was just one part of his body, but it seemed like his whole body was strengthened with this Bloodseeker’s energy. It was increasingly difficult for Yoon-seok to maintain his reason. He punched the wall of the waiting room to blow off steam.
Boom!
Just as the waiting room was protected by something unknown, there wasn’t even a tiny scratch on the wall. Through the impact, Yoon-seok could roughly guess how much power was put in his fist just now. But the Bloodseeker’s energy didn’t calm down at all. Rather, an unknown source of anger arose as he increased its speed. Not only toward Kang Hyung-woo and Lee Chang-hoon, but also bystanders such as classmates, teachers, and even his parents who couldn’t help him when he was bullied…
“You parasites…”
After realizing that he muttered the words to himself, the energy stopped. His rationality quickly returned as if it had all been a dream. As soon as the intense strength subsided, an opposing sense of lethargy washed over him. Yoon-seok took a deep breath.
‘I shouldn’t use this carelessly.’
It was one thing to alert himself, but he did take the time to discover the potential of b Bloodseeker’s Ultimatum}. Next, Yoon-seok entered the store. He spent a total of 150,000 APs to raise its ranking.
Rank C — Extract blood from others to create Bloodseeker’s Energy.
He didn’t know how to activate it. Besides, he wasn’t short of magic right now. His magic recovered quickly just by breathing. However, Yoon-seok thought it was a very good effect. Absorbing magic meant that he could take away his opponent’s magic powers. It was obvious, but without magic, one couldn’t fight properly.
“It’s not as bad as I expected.”
As he circulates the energy around his body, Yoon-seok checked his remaining AP. Although Bloodseeker’s Energy varied slightly from vigor in nature, they shared no functional differences in how they worked. It meant that there was no need to waste time to adapt to the new ability.
‘I spent so much…’
257,000 AP left. He’d already used up half of the AP he received as a reward. Yoon-seok re-purchased Magic Resistance and Sword Mastery with 48,000 AP and upgraded them to their original ranks. Then, since Bloodseeker’s Energy was influenced by his magic stats, he spent the remaining 168,000 AP upgrading from D to C-rank. He spent another 30,000 AP on combining b Weapon Enhancement} with b Flash}, leaving him with 11,000 AP.
「Skill has been synthesized.」
「Trajectory Enhancement has been acquired.」
{Trajectory Enhancement}
Rank D — Additional random attributes (Poison, Lightning, Fire, Ice, Steel) are granted during the attack.
Rank E — The sword’s energy can be released at a long distance during the attack.
Rank F — Power increases by two times during the attack.
His active skills were combined, so it was a little surprising that a passive skill was revealed. The long-distance attack feature remained the same, but the preconditioning feature of using Flash changed during the attack. Yoon-seok cut through the air with vigor on the tip of his sword. Then, the crimson-colored energy shot in a crescent, exploding as soon as it touched the waiting room wall.
Boommm!
‘That’s a lot better.’
Yoon-seok looked around with a satisfied smile. The energy exploded with poison, and he could see the targeted area bubbling with a ‘Chikkkkkk!‘ sound. Looking at it, he was reminded of Giant Hydra’s heart.
Ba-dump! Ba-dump!
The heart wriggled as if it was still alive. How the hell was he supposed to use this object? As he was thinking about it, Yoon-seok immediately used 6,000 AP and purchased a Rank E technique to check the information.
*Giant Hydra’s Heart {Rank B} — Increases magic stats below A-Rank by one after usage.
It increased, just as he wanted. However, since it could be used up to an A rank, he decided to save it later. Lastly, Yoon Seok bought a mask with 5,000AP and finished his preparations by putting it on.
‘It’s comfortable, even though it’s expensive.’
The long organizing time had finally ended. Looking at the timer pointing to zero, Yoon-seok used Dimensional Movement: Plaza, which he received as he came up to the waiting room on the sixth floor.
「Moving to the Plaza on the 6th floor.」
