The Bloodline System (Web Novel)

Author's Note: Unedited Chapter

"Shall I remind you that this is my vessel…? I am the sovereign," Siefiling stated while casually walking away.

Fwwhhiii!

From Gustav's point of view, Siefiling suddenly vanished causing his fist to phase through the air. He felt a presence behind him and instantly knew that it was Sieifiling.

"If I truly had evil intentions, I would have done more than just leave a few injuries on your little brother."

The moment these words drifted into his ears, Gustav felt a lightning-fast chop strike the back of his neck.

Bang!

Gustav was instantly sent flying as the speed left him unable to react in time.

While his body was in mid-air, a loud clap rang out and the scenery around them instantly changed.

The space around them had turned all white and not a single item could be seen in view.

Siefiling suddenly appeared before Gustav, "Will you join me?"

"No," Gustav answered bluntly while throwing out another fierce jab.

His fist phased through Siefiling's vanishing figure and he heard a voice above him.

"Wrong answer."

Bang!

Siefiling thrust his fingers downwards, causing an incredible energy to send Gustav flying once more.

'His speed is way greater than I anticipated,' Gustav gritted his teeth as his figure spiraled downwards at an incredible pace.

"You cannot win in a battle against me and if you think your little friends can help you think again…" Siefiling's voice rang out loudly and what came next was a clap.

Pah!

The view of the surroundings changed once more as Gustav found himself gliding across a snowy terrain. His back rammed against the ground multiple times as the snow erupted in every direction upon multiple impacts.

Gustav reached out his right arm and slapped his hand onto the ground to change his trajectory the moment he sensed a powerful force approaching.

Swwhhiiii!

Siefiling's figure streaked past. Gustav had managed to successfully evade him for the first time but the effect of the morale it gave off didn't manage to last for even a second as Siefiling reappeared behind Gustav once more.

Fortunately, Gustav seemed to have predicted this and shot a massive iron silk from his back the moment Siefiling tried to attack.

The massive icicle-shaped rock pierced through Siefiling's afterimage as he reappeared on Gustav's right.

"You're adapting. Good," Siefiling voiced while reaching out to grab Gustav's collar.

"But I haven't even breached half my top speed," He voiced before flinging Gustav forward.

Fwwhooomshhh~

Gustav's figure darted across the air at unprecedented speed as he rammed into a bunch of snowy mountains, ripping straight through them like they were as soft as webs.

Gustav didn't get even a millisecond of breathing space as Siefiling appeared above him again and thrust his palm at Gustav's chest.

An armor of iron silk phased out of Gustav's body as he reached out to match Siefiling's thrust.

Boom!

A loud, thunderclap-like sound reverberated across the entire vessel as both of them got blasted away from each other with incredible force the moment they collided.

The armor of iron silk got obliterated as Gustav spat out blood while Siefiling flipped backward multiple times across the air before the scenery around them changed once more.

"You are quite powerful… I should be careful about underestimating you," Siefiling voiced after stabilizing himself.

Gustav noticed that they had appeared in a similar location to the dark space he got sent to upon their separation at the start.

"What if I told you I could erase you from existence?" Gustav questioned while wiping blood off his face.

"That would be you overestimating yourself," Siefiling's voice drifted across the air as he vanished and reappeared before Gustav once more.

[x2 Power Boost Has Been Activated]

Gustav's figure shrunk backward as an arm appeared out of nowhere and swung across his initial position.

"Maybe you're the one overestimating yourself," Gustav voiced as his entire body began transforming.

'No one has gotten me to use my transformation bloodline in a while… but I need to be careful so the vessel doesn't get destroyed,' Gustav said internally as his height increased and his muscles bloated immensely.

His skin turned brownish red like that of Siefiling's as tusk-like bones grew out of different spots on his body. Four horns grew out of his forehead and his eyes emitted a crimson glow as he glared at Siefiling's figure which had turned shorter in his line of sight.

"That is impressive but you are not quite there yet," Siefiling voiced while a purple-like wand appeared in his grasp.

"Go down," He voiced while a whitish and circular form of unknown energy appeared before it.

Thwwooommm!

At the same instant, a swirling vortex of purplish energy shot forth from the middle of Gustav's horns.

Boom!

Both energies clashed and a massive ripple of destruction swept across the vicinity.

If the both of them had been somewhere besides this space that could expand greatly, they would have wreaked incredible havoc.

Fortunately, the space was built to withstand situations like these so their clashes didn't destroy the entire space.

Amid the destructive ripples, both figures had set out again, pushing forth the waves with their bodies.

Gustav's fist was headed for Siefiling's face at this moment and Siefiling reacted by swerving towards the side after noticing the exponential increase in Gustav's speed.

The wand in his grasp increased in length the moment he swerved towards the side and he proceeded to smack Gustav's ribcage with it.

Gustav was sent flying once more but swiftly stabilized himself in mid-air as dark wings sprouted out of his back. He spun towards the right and made a grasping motion.

Siefiling appeared in the clutches of his right hand and he proceeded to ram him into the ground.

Boom!

Another loud clash rang out as the entire vessel quaked loudly. To Siefiling's surprise, Gustav had accurately predicted where he would appear and swiftly made a counterattack.

It was the first time he successfully connected an attack. Gustav tried to raise Siefiling again, only to realize that he already escaped his grasp.

He turned around swiftly while conjuring a massive milky-colored blade and swung it diagonally.

Bang!

Another loud clash rang out as the atomic blade collided with the wand-like item in Siefiling's grasp.

"Oh? You are starting to match my speed… let's see how long you can keep this up," Siefiling voiced before appearing on Gustav's left.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Loud collisions rang out repeatedly as they clashed more than a thousand times in just a second.

Since it was a dark space, visibility was hindered but Gustav was moving sorely based on perception as he battled Siefiling who could see and sense every part of his space vessel as its sovereign.

Sweeessh!

Loud whooshes and destructive energy swept across the place as they moved incredibly fast with Siefiling taking his speed up a notch every time he noticed Gustav was able to keep up.

Gustav was slowly getting pushed back as he found himself falling short of Siefiling's speed and strength every time Siefiling took it up a notch.

The battle was getting more intense with every passing second even the space expansion machine within their current location was getting strained trying to keep up with the speed at which the space was expanding.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The atomic blade got cleaved through as the elongated wand poked toward Gustav's face.

[Lightning Blitz Has Been Activated]

Gustav turned into a streak of lightning at the last moment, escaping the attack.

Siefiling slowly turned towards the west and charged forward at an incredible pace, following the speed of the lightning streak which was a quarter the speed of light.

Siefiling thrusted the elongated wand and a turbine grew out of its tip.

Fwwhomm!

Yellow waves of energy burst forward from the blades of the turbine as they spun and Gustav suddenly transformed back into his original look.

Gustav's eyes widened as he was pulled from the lightning streak form. He quickly crossed his arms to block the moment he noticed the elongated wand turn back into a staff and shot forward with incredible speed.

Bang!

Another loud crash rang out as Gustav was sent flying while the tip of the elongated wand continuously pushed at his crossed arms, shooting him further ahead with unprecedented force.

Siefiling appeared behind Gustav's body which had been turned into a projectile and thrusted his palm towards his back.

Gustav gritted his teeth as he pictured both of Seifling's attacks simultaneously hitting his chest and back.

[Energy Surge Has Been Activated]

A reddish glow appeared on Gustav's chest at the last moment and a blast of energy burst forth from his being, sending a space-shattering ripple across the environment.

Bang! Bang!

Both the elongated wand and Siefiling got sent flying as the energy surge hit them violently.

Siefiling was taken aback but not entirely surprised since he witnessed Gustav's prowess at IYSOP but he couldn't believe just how much more powerful Gustav had become.

Gustav suddenly appeared before him with a glowing fist causing his eyes to widen once more.

"Think twice before harming a loved one of mine next time."
