427 Lirius Transformation (1/2)

Be it Tiane, Ruik, or the others who were watching, everyone looked at Laex. His reaction obviously showed that he knew something. However, Laex ignored their eyes and got close to Liriu before touching his body. He sent a stream of Spiritual Energy and checked with his Divine Sense to make sure his conjecture is correct.

Ruik and Tiane didn't mind. Laex had been around long enough for them to trust him this much, at least. But the longer Laex checked Liriu's body, the uglier his face became. In the end, after confirming that he was right, he could only sigh and retract his hand.

Everyone looked at him, waiting for Laex to talk. No one forced the issue since it seemed to be something really important.

Laex knew that he needed to give an explanation, so after taking a deep breath, he started to talk.

”Liriu's bloodline passed through an incredible transformation. Something that was only supposed to have happened in legends. It is soo unbelievable that even though it is right in front of me, I can't help but feel like I'm hallucinating.”

”Before I tell you what it is, we need to talk about a few other things. First, do you know who is considered the ancestor of all reptiles in all Universes?”

Surprisingly, Ruik answered without even blinking.

”Dragons. At least, that's what I've heard in the past. Between the reptile races here in Dalin or in our home Universe, that is what is believed.”

Laex nodded.

”Correct. I gave some of my blood to Liriu precisely so I could awake the Dragon Blood in his body. Doesn't matter which reptile it is; they all have a certain amount of Dragon Blood. As long as your race is connected to some reptile species, that fact will not change.”

”However, due to the enormous amount of time since the Dragons first appeared, many of those branch races' Dragon Blood concentration decreased. It reached a point where the concentration was so small that their Dragon Blood entered into a slumbering state. Those are also known as the Reptile races that don't have Dragon Blood. The fact is not that they don't have it, it is just that their bloodline is so thin that it couldn't show its traits anymore.”

Krune and the other nodded. It is not a piece of information that hard to accept.

”Thanks to my Dragon Blood, it awakened Liriu's one and used my own to increase his Dragon Blood concentration. It could be said that after he fused with my Dragon Blood, around 99% of his Dragon Blood was mine, while the rest was the awakened blood that he already had in himself. Of course, let's say that the 'master dragon blood' position was still that 1%, not my 99%. As the 'master blood' of Liriu's blood, it dominated mine and changed it into its own. Now, the whole blood was really Liriu's and not mine anymore.”

Laex then narrowed his eyes and continued.

The more everyone heard, the more shocked they got.

Tiane couldn't help but ask.

”And what was that other bloodline that appeared out of nowhere.”

Laex smiled bitterly and then looked at Tiane.

”It didn't come out of nowhere, it came from you.”
