Chapter 105 - Gathering Of The 7 Novas (I) (2/2)

” Indeed, and that was a long time ago. According to the legend, only the founders of the four Great Empires were able to make it to the 9th floor. After they've made it there, they were able to acquire the blood of four powerful spirit beasts. The founder of our Draco Empire, my ancestor, got the blood of an Earth Dragon, The founder of the Djage Empire got a blood of a Crimson Lion, The Nicholas Empire got the Blood of a Black Panther while the Bartolo Empire got the blood of an unknown ferocious Beast that seemed to strengthen their bodies unlike any other warriors in the continent. It was because of this that the Imperial families from the four empires were able to rule over their specific empire that long and created the imperial bloodline. Because of that blood, all their descendants were born with high affinities for fire , darkness or earth element etc. Almost more than half of them were born with a high spiritual energy which resulted an a high level of innate talent, putting them above the rest of the populace.”

” However, as the time goes, their inherited bloodlines became thinner and thinner. It was through luck or maybe destiny that I was born with the purest bloodline from the Draco imperial family ” Continued the young man as he looked at his right hand which was suddenly covered with a thin layer of green reptilian scale. However, the scales disappeared as fast as they've appeared, it was as though it was just an illusion.

” Even though, I was born with the purest bloodline, it's not enough for me to reach the apex. This bloodline is like a shackle for me, I can only reach the Archmage rank with it. I want to be stronger than that which is why I need a stronger bloodline.” He said with a hint of determination in his eyes.

In the World of Eidrin, the magical beasts that have broken through the 10th rank were known as spirit beast because they were able to speak in human tongue and were comparable to the legendary Archmage in term of strength. Furthermore, they possess almost the same intelligence as a human adult in that stage and could even transform into a human form as well.

According to the history of the Egul Continent, for some unknown reason, there has never been a 10th rank beast or a spirit beast in the Dark Forest. If there was, the Egul continent would have a long time became a Beast Empire. However, there were quite some in the Great Tower. Most high-level magical beasts tend to go into the Great Tower as though there was something that attracted them in there. However, once they went in, it was impossible for them to come out.

” Your Highness, are you still going to look for the blood of a true divine beast within the Tower instead of the treasures left behind by Henry.” Asked the other red-hooded man on the right side of the young man. Even though the red hooded man has never seen a true divine blood before, but he had heard the rumor about powerful beast dwelling on the higher floor of the tower and how powerful they were compared to the spirit beast.

Humans can only refine the blood of a spirit beast or higher if they wanted to obtain the attribute of that beast which will, later on, pass on to their future descendant. As such, most people that venture within the tower hope to find a wounded spirit beast in order to acquire its blood as they always fight among themselves.

Furthermore, as all the spirit beasts whether strong or weak were trapped within the Tower, there's a chance to acquire their blood without the need to fight such as making a deal with them. The main reason that the founders of the four empires were able to acquire the blood of four spirit beast was not that they were strong enough to defeat the spirit beasts, but because they have made a deal with them. They had taken an oath to free them from the Tower once they've acquired the power to do so, and if they weren't able to accomplish that on in their lifetime, it would fall onto their descendants to do so.

”Both, before I wasn't even able to make it to the 5th floor because of our lack of forces but now, with all those people present here looking for the treasure left by Henry. I think it's a good opportunity, we can use them as sacrifices and baits to pave the way for us.” Answered the young man with a cunning smile on his face.

” Here I thought Viper was the only cunning old fox from the 7 Novas.” Said one of the red hooded men with a smile on his face. These two were the only people that could joke around with this young man because they've been following and served him since he was just a child. As such, they've viewed him as their own child and talk intimately with him when they are in private.

” I am still a baby compared to Viper, Dragon Fang. Furthermore, I will need his assistance if I want to make this plan work.” Answered the young man. Just like the two red hooded men, the young man also viewed them as his most loyal subordinates and senior.

While the three people were talking to each other while looking at the majestic Great Tower ahead of them, another man in red cloak suddenly appeared on top of the mountain they were staying.

” Your Highness, The 4th Imperial Prince of the Djage Empire along with his troops have already made it to the resting place.” Said the man as he bowed behind the young man even though he was not looking at him.

” Things are gonna get more Interesting now. Anyway, It's time to finally meet that so-call legendary Imperial Freak that even Viper's wary of.” Said the young man with a devilish smile on his face as he stood up and disappeared within the summit of the mountain along with the men in red cloaks.
