Nightmare's Call

Chapter 284: Dragonblood: Part 3

Lin Sheng did not tarry as he got up, and flicked a plastic switch on the wall.

*Clack.*

A number of digital signal scramblers within the room came alive. So every electromagnetic signal sent out from the room would be scrambled and could not be read.

Then a couple of black smoke shot out from his body and landed around the room, ready to transform into vault guards to ensure his security.

“Let’s convert them into Crag Dragon blood first, other things can wait!”

Lin Sheng started right away.

He printed out a new set of ritual matrix and laid them out on the ground as he forced his golden dragon blood out.

He stood on one corner of the ritual as the souls within his mind started flowing into the ritual.

*Whoosh!*

Lines upon lines of silver light shot out and landed on Lin Sheng’s body as the matrix kicked up a cloud of mist.

All of the mist was absorbed by Lin Sheng as the amount of Crag Dragon blood within him increased. With that increase, it started to dye and eat into Lin Sheng’s original blood.

The arms on the clock spun circles upon circles and Lin Sheng’s body was slowly radiated faint golden circuits all over his body as unsuppressed dragon aura seeped out as well.

Slowly, Lin Sheng’s opened his eyes, and his iris had totally transformed into a dark golden dragon eye.

“Ten percent of the blood within this body has been converted into Crag Dragon blood. While I’ve used quite a bit of souls, if this can totally transform my body...”

Lin Sheng was anticipant.

One needed to remember that only his main body could enter the dream. If his main body got stronger, that would increase the rewards he would be able to gain from the dream as well.

Many dangerous places would no longer be dangerous, while the risk of going into a perilous one would be much better managed.

As he recovered, Lin Sheng felt the enhanced Crag Dragon blood within his body, and the blood was even nourishing and enhancing his brain.

He could clearly feel that every organ in his body was cheering. The Dragon Blood could absorb energy particles from the air, and convert it into mysterious nourishing energy to provide potent nourishment to all of his organs.

His organs, now nourished by that energy, had their evolution hastened.

His musculature had gotten even tougher, his bones became crystalline, and while other organs were developing new abilities on top of their original functions.

“Let’s continue!”

Lin Sheng could feel that his souls in his mind were being drained away, and felt much better. He then extended his hand through the combi-barrier of holy and dark power and grabbed onto the third vase.

A surge of souls once again entered his mind, alongside a deluge of memory fragments.

“Ugh...”

Lin Sheng felt his head aching badly... Only the nourishments from the Dragon Blood and his enhanced brain allowed his mind to maintain clarity, and recover more quickly.

*Crack.* The third vase shattered, and then it was the fourth and fifth.

Due to the continuous nourishments of his brain by the dragon blood that his ability to withstand it had gotten stronger.

In a single go, he had absorbed three vases worth of souls, and the number of memory fragments was even more.

Frowning hard, as his face turned slightly pale, Lin Sheng continued to stand on the ritual matrix and infused it with souls.

A sea of silver mist once again appeared and was absorbed into his body.

Another thousand-odd units of souls had been consumed.

There were three more vases left, but he dared not absorbed anymore. His brain was already feeling like a balloon being pumped to its limit and could burst at any time.

Even his nerves were at their limits, and the fatigue made the headache worse.

“I... need to rest...” Lin Sheng got out of the ritual matrix.

The golden dragon blood on the other end slowly turned black and disintegrated into countless of gray light particles as the ritual was ended.

As he sat on the sofa, Lin Sheng sank himself into a blanket, looking like a soft ball.

The dragon blood within his body had already reached about twenty percent, and at this ratio, he could already create an independent blood family of his own in Blackfeather City.

Even for the earlier generations of Palmintons which the Night Lord belonged to, did not have pure dragon blood within them.

The dragon blood was nourished and cultivated from one generation to the next, and upon reaching the Night Lord’s generation, his body structure fortuitously matched the Shadow Dragonking’s blood, and thus the power of the bloodline grew explosively.

A normal human being could never achieve pure dragon blood with them. The dragon blood could only take over some of the human blood’s functions, but it could never fully replace it.

So, while the Night Lord had maintained his human form, he was born with additional Shadow Dragon organs.

Lin Sheng was currently the same. If the dragon blood was to achieve a higher ratio in his blood, his organs needed to mutate to adapt to it.

The strong consumed the weak; this law of the universe applied even to the cellular level.

With sufficient dragon blood within him, he would slowly transform into a Crag Dragon, and all of the organs weaker than the Crag Dragon’s own would be mutated.

“I’m not looking to become a half-man half-dragon being.” Lin Sheng did not want to totally detach himself from society and become a monster that everyone discriminated against.

Even if he were to take that form, he needed a way to conceal himself.

Lin Sheng closed his eyes and started meditating his dark powers.

Now, he just needed to train his dark powers to trigger a massive surge of his holy power at the same time.

While that would consume his souls, the holy power was key to allow him to maintain his form by will.

Within the room, Lin Sheng’s golden dragon marks were slowly being covered by the pure white holy light as both glows merged and turn into one.

The mutation of his organs too seemed to have reached a stable point.

After a short rest, Lin Sheng got up again and grabbed a new vase

Following that, three more crisp cracking sounds were heard.

The last of the souls within the three vases were totally absorbed before being purified and turned into gray light particles, as they dissipated into the air.

“I’ve absorbed the souls of at least ten thousand people... What is that sect on about?” The headache resulting from the absorption had eased a lot.

As he stood once again on the ritual matrix, he forced his mind to stay awake by sheer force of will as he started infusing the matrix with souls.

Countless images, information, and memories flickered before his eyes and rang by his ear side.

*Hisss...*

The silver light shone again as argent mist appeared. Lin Sheng looked down at the floating mist and felt his consciousness fading somewhat.

“Gulp.”

A rock rolled past his leg and made a noise.

Suddenly, the floor Lin Sheng stood on had suddenly turned black.

He looked up, and a massive dragon with dark gold scales looked down and onto him. The massive dragon was the size of mountain ranges, with no end could be seen of his silhouette.

Within the darkness, purple lightning struck and revealed the dragon’s gargantuan frame. And through the lightning, he could see deep rents and wounds on the scale.

The dragon’s murky eyes calmly looked at Lin Sheng. It looked ancient, and there were no reflections in its amber eyes.

“It’s all up to you now.”

An ancient voice rumbled in Lin Sheng’s mind.

For some reason, he understood that it was the dragon speaking.

“What?” Lin Sheng looked at the dragon in astonishment.

*Huff...*

The long whiskers on the dragon’s back were like a lion’s mane fluttering with the wind.

It slowly retreated as its massive body gradually disappeared into the shadows.

“Everything...

“Is up to you now.”

Lin Sheng opened his eyes, and before him, a scarred crystal slowly appeared.

A sense of familiarity welled up within him as he held his hand out in a daze, and grabbed onto the crystal. The old dragon’s voice still rang in his ears.

All of a sudden, he had a feeling that he and the old dragon, was like an old and a new king, an end and a new beginning.
