39 Bloodlines (1/2)

Dorian was amazed, this was the first time he saw a blue grade item, and it really deserved its grade. To add 5 points to Constitution, up to three times no matter how high the stats already is… It was something he never saw before.

However, seeing the requirement he knew that he couldn't waste time or it would lose its effects. So without any hesitation he took off his mask and took a big bite out of it. He ignored the horrible taste and texture and swallowed it down.

He quickly finished the whole heart, and when he did he felt a cool wave spread over his body. It felt extremely comfortable despite being cold.

But as it reached his spine, something felt wrong. A strong warm wave exited his spine and clashed with the cool wave. Several notifications rang:

[Dreamer has eaten a Low Class Demon's Heart, triggering a special bloodline awakening…]

[Error, another bloodline has been detected in the body… The two bloodlines aren't compatible.]

[Warning, the energy released by the two bloodlines are starting to overwhelm the Dreamer's current limits. Destruction of the bloodlines underway… Error, destruction impossible.]

[Dreamer, two energies are waging war in your body and are threatening your safety. Because they have already fused with your very own cells it is impossible to destroy them. This puts you in great danger as if left unchecked, your body will be destroyed.]

[Searching for a solution… Negative, the Dreamer has no Dream Coins available and thus can't be treated. Searching for a solution… One available. Does the Dreamer want to know of it?]

Hearing all the notifications, he couldn't help but curse. What the f*** is going on? All he wanted was to get those bonus attributes points, he didn't even aim for that bloodline… Heck, he didn't even know he could get a bloodline, he thought he could only get that special skill…

Still, he didn't want to die so he had no choice and accepted to hear the solution.

[Dreamer has to use a particularly potent external energy that will be enough to overwhelm both of your bloodlines and forcefully merge them. Only one energy source has been determined accessible to you, it is the Heart of the Mountain.]

[But even then the energy is way too powerful, and once your bloodlines having merged the leftover energy could harm you greatly. Do you still wish to proceed?]

Dorian nodded and the system continued:

[The Dreamer must dive into the water and reach the Heart of the Mountain. Then, Dreamer has to let it absorb you. Then, unleash your bloodlines.]

Dorian couldn't help but shudder when he thought he would have to jump into that terrifying water. But as he was about to take off his clothes he found out he couldn't move a finger.

[The Dreamer's body has been paralyzed because of the bloodlines, giving back control.]

Dorian suddenly felt he could move again, but every time he did so he felt a strong pain. He quickly took off everything he had on him, ignoring the pain.

Jun suddenly exclaimed ”What are you doing? Are you so happy you killed a demon you decided to get off your clothes?”

But Dorian couldn't care less about the red being and directly dived into the orange water. Instantly, pain assaulted his senses, he felt like he had been thrown into acid.

His body quickly sank, but the pain only intensified the more he approached the Heart. His bloodlines, which were clashing against each other, began intensify as if they sensed the danger.

But they weren't fast enough. Dorian's body touched the Heart, and all the pain disappeared. The Heat didn't feel solid but slimy. Dorian moved his limbs to enter it even faster.

Once his entire body was submerged in the heart, he felt like it was trying to corrode his body. But his Vitality was above average, so it wasn't so easy to do it.
