Chapter 490 - Blood Blessed By The Gods (2/2)

”After that, he absorbed it, but not all. After a few minutes, he spit out some blood that he couldn't absorb, and… somehow, my body attracted it. I don't know what happened afterward, but when I woke up, I had absorbed it too,” he said.

Suddenly, the jaguar stopped flying, and so did the puma. Lady Ren stopped too, but the shock in her face made it look like she wasn't paying attention to anything.

”You absorbed the blood essence?” the jaguar asked.

”That's not possible. Even we can't do that,” the puma said.

”When you say your body attracted it, what do you mean?” Lady Ren asked.

”The blood, it was floating in the air and my body craved it and took it in directly through my forehead,” Alex said. ”I fainted afterward, and since then my Metal roots have significantly improved.”

”Your metal roots? My god, you really did absorb it. You not only absorbed blood blessed by the gods, but you absorbed the blood essence itself. That's… that's not something I have ever heard of happening,” the White Cat said with a face full of confusion.

”Does the library not have anything on it, lady Ren?” the jaguar asked.

”No, we might have to go back to the lord's ancestral home if we want to learn anything about it at all,” Lady Ren said.

”Is it that unusual?” Alex asked. 'My body is divine grade, so there should be a few bodies above mine that can do that as well, right?' he wondered.

”I admittedly don't have all the knowledge as I am but a lowly concubine to the lord, but… I have never in all of my life heard of a human absorbing the bloodline of any of the 4 Great Families. The bloodline blessed by the gods is not so easily acquired by just about anyone.”

”Most of them can't even reproduce in all of their lifetimes. It's one of the downsides of having just a godly bloodline,” Lady Ren said. ”Even when they do manage to reproduce, the child may not fully acquire the bloodline and only part of it.”

”It's similar to what is happening to your right now. You are part of whatever your parent's bloodline was and part the bloodline of blood essence you absorbed,” Lady Ren said with an amused face. ”Suddenly, you have started to become more interesting than I would have previously imagined.”

Alex couldn't understand the benefits of having such a bloodline, but he has already experienced some of it. Just having his metal roots be improved was beneficial enough.

”Are there any more benefits of having this bloodline than just improved Metal roots?” Alex asked.

”Um… there are, but I am not sure if they will manifest on a human. Your physiology doesn't exactly match that of those that usually have this bloodline,” Lady Ren said.

”I see,” Alex said. ”Then, can I ask what this bloodline is called?”

”You'll learn soon enough,” Lady Ren said. ”Let's hurry back.”

”Yes, lady Ren,” the jaguar and puma said.

They immediately flew through the night sky once more at blisteringly fast speed.

'Dammit,' Alex thought as he was carried away. 'They gave so many answers, but not a single concrete one. I can't even demand that they answer more clearly.'

Alex once again looked around at the incredible speed they were flying at and wondered just how far he was. The surroundings all looked the same to him and he had no map of anything outside of the Crimson empire to even make an educated guess.

Finally, after an hour, the there of them came to stop.. It seemed they had reached their destination.
