System, how many bloodpoints do I need to grant a bloodline? (Answer, host would require 10x as many bloodpoints as the bloodline gives) , I see, so I need a 100 for earth grade bloodline?
That more than I expected, it almost every bloodpoint I have. He sighed, things are really expensive, being poor sucks. You can stand, he told them.
System, how do I give somebody a bloodline?( Touch their heads and give the command) Thea, come forward, kneel. She knelt on one knee before him.
He touched her forehead and gave the command in his head.( Which bloodline does host wish to grant?) Sky falcon Bloodline
He felt something move inside and passed through his arm and entered Thea, she shivered. A few seconds passed with nothing happening.
The others gave him a strange look, even he was starting to have doubt when Thea screamed to the top of her lungs. She lay on the ground grabbing her chest like she was having a heart attack.
This lasted for a few seconds then she calmed down, breathing heavily she stood up, I feel something, I feel stronger, much stronger than before, she said with excitement.
A notification appeared in his head ( notice, those granted a bloodline by the system cannot do anything to harm host, however host cannot force them to do anything either)
Really, Thea, punch me in the face. What? Punch me in the face. Are you sure? Yeah, don't worry about it, I'm not very easy to hurt. Okay, if you say so.
She sent a punch straight for his nose, there was a sound like two wooden sticks colliding. Ouch, what are you made of, she asked shaking her hand in pain.
(Unless host orders them to harm him) why didn't you say that before, he asked while touching his nose, although Thea wasn't strong enough to wound him it still stung a little.
That looked painful, Anitta said. Yeah, it like punching a brick wall, Thea complained. No, not that, I mean the thing before, fusing with a bloodline, it looked painful.
It was, it was extremely painful, but it was worth it, she smiled as she flexed her arms. Mark, come,let me test my strength on you. Mark looked at her with confusion.
Are you serious? What, scared you going to lose to a girl? No, I just don't want to accidentally hurt you. Anybody would agree with him, Mark was twice her size after all.
Even though she was a tall woman, Mark was a tall man with muscular arms. She set up a table, placed her arm on it and waited. With a sigh Mark complied.
Their arm wrestling match began and ended almost as quickly,however unlike what one would expect, it was Mark who lost. It didn't even take much effort for her to overpower him.
Ofcourse her strength was not yet above what possible for a human it just stood at the peak of that and that only because her bloodline was not strength based.
Alright, gather up, he said. This is what going to happen. For the next few weeks Thea and I will hunt beasts, I will empower you enou...he paused.
Shit, Thea cursed. What? Asked Anitta with panic. Beasts, they rushing towards the town, replied Ashborn. That doesn't make sense, corrupted are drawn to human souls but they don't venture into the territory of a strong corrupted or bloodline holder except for special occasions like a tide, or when they have no choice or are confident in their victory like in the case of some breaches when Tiger was alive.
Although Tiger was terrible he still kept them at bay but since you defeated him, it must mean you stronger so why would they come with you here? She asked with confusion.
Oh, yeah I might know why? They turned and looked at him, to be fair I didn't know anything about what you just said but they probably don't know that I'm here.
How is that possible? Bloodline things, that was his answer. Shade, the big cat jumped out of the shadows. Release your blood aura.
A deep aura like a vast shadow flooded the area, the surrounding shadows moved on the own and stretched. He followed by releasing his.
Unlike Shades, his aura was like a painting, a mixture of different auras, it had the flavour of old decaying hard wood, a soft hum of wind, deep shadow, an ever consuming darkness that devours intelligence itself.
However the most prominent aura was of ash, a deep suffocating aura of death and fire, it was hot and dry and had the smell of old dead matter, it smelled old, extremely old like, like the breath of a being that predates time itself.
Ofcourse blood aura was not visible, only those with bloodlines could sense it and even they could barely tell the distinction between them.
Only the wielder of the aura could full sense theirs but he was deeply confused by his, he understands the others but his ashen aura was deeply confusing, nothing about it made sense or why he could even tell those things.
He sensed the beasts retreating back into the forest, he looked around the room, the others were fine, they felt nothing, they had no bloodline after all.
However the same could not be said about Thea, although the effect wasn't that much since they were in the same rank, she was frowning, obviously uncomfortable under the pressure of his aura combined with Shades.
What he didn't notice was Shade also felt a strain from his aura. Do I have to withstand this everyday? Asked Thea still frowning. That makes no sense.
I never felt Tigers aura but the beasts still did not come. They both looked at Anitta. Why are you looking at me? I don't know everything, you know?
But you must have an idea. Well it depends, she looked at Shade, if your bloodline is related to this corrupted beast then I have an idea why they came.
Corrupted in general have strong instinct, however creatures like this, the ones that stalk their prey and hunt in the dark tend to have the capabilities to hide not only their aura but presence as well.
You said you didn't sense Tigers aura? Maybe he didn't release his aura, the corrupted in the surrounding forest instinctively knew something dangerous lived here since he didn't hide himself.
So you saying I don't have to release my blood aura, I just have to make my presence known? It wouldn't hurt to try it. He did know how exactly, the aura mask of the panther bloodline was passive.
He set cross legged and concentrated, slowly his presence was made known, it was really easy actually, he just had to think about not using that bloodline at all and even passive abilities can be deactivated if you deactivated the bloodline itself, he focused more on his ash bloodline,a serpentine hiss echoed in the room. Thea instinctively took a step back before she even realised what she did.
