Chapter 196 - Evolution Codex (1/2)

”Are you sure about this?”

Yuriko could barely keep her mind calm with such an enchanting scent overflowing from the entire room. Even sitting on Nik's bed almost made her lose her mind just because of a single deep whiff that touched her nose with a sweet scent mixed with multiple musky, arousing scents.

Meanwhile, Nik kept looking at the Yuriko's exposed arm as she had already pulled her left sleeve up. Finally, with a flick of his finger, a small scratch opened up over her forearm, letting out a single drop of crimson blood before Nik lowered his head and immediately sucked on her injury.

[Evolution Codex: High

Item Tier: Unique

Description: A conceptual item that bonds with the host and allows the host to sample the myriad Bloodline present in the multiverse. The higher the amount of blood is ingested, the greater the information obtained.]

This item was the true reason why Nik gave Brian the information about the Demon Slayers' past for the exchange for him becoming Nik's wingman. And even now, Nik still remained indebted to Brian even if he did not state the fact explicitly. After all, no amount of SO could buy such an item and Brian just gave it to him for less than 20000 SO!

If this wasn't generous, then what is?!

The Evolution codex is the most important item to have to trigger an evolution. Without it, no matter how favourable the conditions are, a host can never trigger an evolution.

Within Nik's energy space, right next to the Harem in the shape of Rubik's cube, a brown, leather-covered grimoire gave off a violet light as an information window popped in front of his vision.

[Rare-Tier Genes detected. Analysis Formed.

Description: An unnamed variation of the Rare-Tier blood fiend is detected. Aside from the obvious hunger for blood, this variation is devoid of the usual lust for battle found within the fiends. But, the hosts of this bloodline are extremely weak towards the elements present in the UV rays and similar types of energy

Integration: 19%]

Nik looked at the screen thoughtfully before looking at the flushed Yuriko, who simply couldn't contain her own curiosity. After all... maybe Nik also loved tasting blood. Maybe, this common point between them could develop further.

”Thank you. I have what I needed to know.”

Nik smiled and then looked at his room before looking back at Yuriko, who simply couldn't match his gaze, always looking away.

Of course, Nik also knew the reason and that was his main motive. The entry of the blood into the codex was just the minor objective, after all, he could always get his hand on some demon blood later during the apocalyptic event, but trying to tease Yuriko had its own merits.

Nik's enjoyment, that is.

”Well, are you ready to drink my blood?”

Nik smiled and extended his arm towards Yuriko, who visibly gulped. No matter how 'full' she felt, Yuriko kept on having the urge to 'taste' it... blood that is.

Finally, unable to control herself, a thin trail of drool leaked through the corner of her lips, yet, her eyes remained as hesitant as ever— which Nik happened to appreciate— for his blood was the highest class of aphrodisiac present in this world.

Finally, Yuriko shook her head and hissed softly.

”Please, give me some time alone.”

Immediately standing up, she rushed out of the room while Nik's smile broadened. Of course, he wouldn't stop her. There was no need to. Since she had already taken a tour to his bedroom... there was no need to force her.

The moment she left, Nik looked at his own bloodline details.

[Rare-Tier Genes, Bloodline— Carnal Demon.

Orthodox Evolution Atlas found in Codex.

Description: An orthodox evolution of Lust Imp recognised by the multiverse. The blood and flesh have an aphrodisiac effect and even the other fluids of the body are unnaturally sweet and healthy for the females. Similarly, if the fluids are ingested by males, they act as a slow poison.

Next Evolution: Lust Fiend (Extreme-Tier)

Integration: 78%]

Compared to Yuriko's bloodline, Nik's bloodline's integration was extremely high. Opening the chat regarding the Bloodline sent during the first few days by Brian, Nik couldn't help but smile.

At least, he didn't lose out on Bloodline.

[Remember, the integration of Bloodline decides how less our Bloodline weakens in front of certain elements of nature. Due to or ancestors' efforts, even the low tier evolution has an extremely high integration.]

[Either way, this codex will work for all bloodlines till the High-Tier evolution. After that, you'll have to find a codex yourself. Not to mention, it will be better for you to trigger your evolution after amassing the blood of higher evolved Bloodline because it will allow you to at least glance at your future evolutions which will, in return, allow you to make better decisions during evolution.]

Nik rummaged through the chat as he still remembered the simple fact.

[Common, Uncommon, Rare, Extreme, High... these are the tiers of evolution. As a temporal fiend, I am a natural Extreme-Tier evolved being. So, you need to catch up quickly even in terms of evolution.]
