Chapter 289 - Black Dragon's Bloodline

He finally understood the warning given to him by the Dragon. It was extremely painful, beyond extreme if he could describe it. There were no words that could describe what he felt right now.

He endured the pain, and when the old man told him to scream, he almost screamed. But then he decided to endure the pain, and he had lost track of time. He felt like he had been tortured for a week. ????????????r????????????. ????????????

The pain suddenly vanished without warning. As the pain disappeared, he stopped moving and

[You have learned a skill, [Lesser Dragon Transformation]!]

[Congratulations! You have inherited an incomplete Dragon Bloodline!]

[You have met the condition to unseal your bloodline first seal! Do you want to unseal the first seal? Y/N?]

Tang Shaoyang went into silence as the notification rang in his head. He was processing the notification in his head.

Rumru noticed that the man suddenly stopped moving. He was worried that the ritual ended with a failure. The old man squatted down and pulled Tang Shaoyang toward him, 'Are you okay?' That was what he wanted to ask until he saw the man's eyes.

Tang Shaoyang's eyes turned light blue with black slits pupils. There was no way the old man did not recognize the eyes. That was Dragon Eyes albeit incomplete.

Tang Shaoyang snapped out from his thoughts when the old man pulled. He was about to ask, 'what's wrong?' until he noticed something different with his vision. He saw thick blue streams floating in the air.

"Huh!?" Tang Shaoyang was caught off guard with the sudden change. He tried to look in different directions, and then he realized the crystal cave was filled with blue streams.

"What's wrong?" Rumru asked worriedly. Tang Shaoyang then looked toward the old man and his slit pupils widened. He was shocked that the old man was radiating a dark reddish aura fiercely. It was thick and fierce, completely different from the blue streams that were surprisingly calming.

—What you see is Mana, the source of magic and also the wonder of the world.

Zowen explained the confusion, it helped him a bit. Zaneos also helped out.

—That must be [Dragon Eyes]. You just learned the skill, right?

Tang Shaoyang calmed down a little bit and replied to Rumru, "I am fine, just not used to this," he pointed at his eyes which made Rumru realize that humans could not see what he saw all this time.

"I see, that means you have successfully inherited the bloodline," Rumru let out a relieved smile, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"I am fine…" Tang Shaoyang tried to sit but then he realized he was exhausted. For some reason, he did not have the energy even to sit, "I am not fine, I guess," he grinned at the old man.

"It seems so, you should rest a little more to recover from your painful night," the old man sat next to Tang Shaoyang, "You are quite something, aren't you?"

The old man was talking about Tang Shaoyang who was holding his scream despite the tormentful pain.

"Haha, I have to be this strong as many people's lives are on my shoulders. How long has it been?" Tang Shaoyang replied with an exhausted voice before he asked again.

"Over twenty-three hours, almost twenty-four, quite fast I would say," Rumru was quite surprised by the ritual that could be this fast, "Do you have any questions for me before we continue to our next agenda?"

The old man was talking about him being killed by Tang Shaoyang. He was talking about his life, but his voice was very calm in front of death.

"Seal? Can you explain to me about the seal? It's your doing, right?" He remembered about the second seal, so he wanted to know how many seals were put on him.

"Ah, right!" The old man clapped his forehead, "I almost forgot about the seals. I have put five seals to seal my power in your body. You, humans, could not handle the true power of Dragon so I have to seal it partially. So in other words, your bloodline is incomplete."

"But don't worry though, the seal will open automatically as long as you fulfill the condition," Rumru added.

"I see, it seems I can open the first seal right now," Tang Shaoyang looked at the transparent screen in the air. He just needed to choose yes to open the first seal.

"What, really!?" The Dragon was surprised when he heard that. Tang Shaoyang was supposed to open the first seal sometime later, "It seems I underestimated your strength…" the old man muttered under his breath.

"Should I open the seal, right now? Would there be any pain? Any tips?" Tang Shaoyang was hesitating. After what he just experienced, he did not want to open the seal arbitrarily.

"Nope, you should be fine. What's wrong!? Aren't you tough enough to endure the pain?" The old man Rumru grinned at Tang Shaoyang.

"That's a relief, I have to wait until tomorrow if I have to experience the same pain. Today is enough," he let out a relieved sigh.

"Yep, open the seal, I can guard you while you at it," Rumru told Tang Shaoyang to open the first seal.

Tang Shaoyang nodded as he chose "Yes".

*** ***

The four Templar Knights had reported the incident to the Saintess, and the Saintess reported back to the two Goddesses they prayed to.

Thanks to the report, the Goddess of Harmony and the Goddess of Love, Rubia, and Lunea had to call a meeting again in such a short time. Rubia narrated everything that the Saintess told her.

"How can he be that strong in such a short time? This makes no sense!" Axel raised his voice, "It must be because of his second class, it's because of you who insisted on doing a trade instead of kidnapping him!" He blamed everything on Rubia.

"Oh, really? If you did not try to trick him, we can have good information in our hands already, and also we can form a good relationship with his world too!" Rubia sneered back at the hot-tempered Axel.

"This is not the time to shift the blame, let's discuss our next move instead," Lunea interrupted the two and looked to the other Gods.

"Hahh… What can we do? We can come down and kidnap him directly. That's a plan I guess," a God who wore a clown mask voiced his thought.

"We don't want to awaken the system, we are not ready for that yet," God of Destruction, Burning shook his head, "That's not a plan but a reckless move."

"How do you know that the system will be awakened? We don't know that," the Clown God replied.

"Don't be stupid, Carlsen! Those people were sent by the system to our world, so they have the system's protection. Once the system deems us as a harmful existence in the game, our existence will be erased for sure!" Another God with blue hair, God of Sea, Seanic joined in.

"We will summon all six remaining Templar Knights to capture them, but from my calculation, it will not be enough," Rubia glanced at the other Gods, "Can you guys send your followers to Waskin? If my guess is correct, he will come to attack the city along with the Beast Stampede. This should be our chance to capture him!"

"Why don't you send your Templar Knights from the Eidenburgh's Capital? Don't you know Waskin is a remote place that is hard to reach?" Seanic questioned Rubia.

"Eidenburgh is in a war against the Demons, all Templar Knights are sent to the Demon's territory. We don't have time to summon them, it will take a longer time than your follower to reach Waskin," Rubia shook her head.

"My churches are nowhere near Waskin, it would take months for them to reach there," Burning shook his head. The other Gods also voiced the same thing.

"I can send my Seanic Legion, but it will take two weeks for them to reach the city," Seanic looked toward Rubia, "Can your followers hold them that long for the reinforcement to arrive?"

"It's too long, but we will take the chance. It's not like we have other choices, but I hope the Prime and the adventurers could help to capture them too. I plan to lure them with the Supreme Blessing so they are willing to help, what do you guys think?" Rubia had her plan too.

Silence ensued within them, it was clear the Gods were very reluctant to give out the Supreme Blessing, "Don't worry, I don't think that they would be enough to capture our target, but I want to use them to hold Tang until the reinforcement arrived."

"What do you think, Lunea?" Burning noticed Lunea had been quiet, it was unusual.

"I guess we can follow Rubia's plan, for now, I don't have any plans in my mind," Lunea shook her head.

"As I said, we can come down by ourselves and get him!" Carlsen the Clown God voiced his thoughts.

"That would be our last resort, Carlsen. Then I will leave now! I have to talk to my Saintess to send the Seanic Legion!" Seanic was the first one to bail out and followed by the others.

The seven gods left the meeting, leaving behind Lunea alone, "It seems I have to find a way to talk with Tang by myself, they seem to forget Rumru's existence in the Orin Forest… Our plan will never succeed after he entered the Orin Forest," those were her last voice before her figure faded.
