Blood Assimilation

[[Special Quest Completed]] 

\'Did I see that right? Special Quest? Am I seeing things now?\' Randy wondered in confusion.

Upon seeing the line of text in front of his vision, Randy blinked one time and thought that he was seeing things at this moment. 

And then he widely opened his eyes and closely looked at the projected screen once again.

Sure enough, the same line of text was displayed in front of eyes.

\'So I was not mistaken. But was there such a quest ongoing this whole time or is this the system\'s function that I missed? No, there\'s no quest function when I last checked so what\'s this?\'

While thinking about this without understanding what the system was trying to imply, a new line of text appeared in front of his vision.

[[The host has completed a nigh impossible special quest of the system by defeating an enemy harboring dark energy that seemed to originate from a type of [???] entity. Thus you have obtained the right to unlock the prerequisite system function]]

[[The \'Divine Points Function\' have been unlocked as a reward for accomplishing this feat]]

"W-What do you mean…?" Randy weakly asked.

But more lines of texts kept scrolling in his vision without stopping.

[[Special Requirement have been met to unlock an additional function of the system]]

[[The \'Quest Function\' have been unlocked due to the completion of the special quest of the system]]

[[You have killed an enemy that was stronger than your current strength and power level]]

[[You have successfully harvested 100,000 divine points within the soul of the enemy]]

[[The total amount of divine points harvested far surpassed the total amount possible with the power level of the enemy but since this is a special case that stemmed from the enemy\'s body being modified beforehand, all the harvested divine points would be kept for the host]]

[[Reminder: The harvested divine points would be stored within the divine point storage for now until the host needs it otherwise]]

[[Furthermore, a few things have been updated in the system. The host can check them out later to see the corresponding changes]]

\'What is going on with all these series of notifications from the system? I can\'t even read through them all right now. I will have to check them out later. But for now…\'

Randy thought and then he looked at the floating drops of blood behind him.

Those were his very own drops of blood that he managed to keep floating with his Blood Authority Skill despite being in a delirious state. 

The purpose of this was to absorb them back into his body to prevent fainting from blood loss. 

However, he could not simply absorb them before since some of them had already fallen on the ground during the fight and thus he could only wait until now.

With a single thought, all the blood hovered in front of him and with another command, the drops of blood were all cleansed of any harmful substance that they might have been exposed to. 

The next moment, all the drops of blood were absorbed back into his body. 

And without wasting any more time, he took out the remaining healing potion and chugged them all down right away.

\'Ahh~ How refreshing… I can feel my wounds healing slowly. But I think it would be a while until I fully heal this time. I suffered not just external injuries but even internal injuries. It\'s already a miracle that I haven\'t fainted yet.\'

After waiting for a few moments for his mind and body to settle down, he then looked at the corpse of the chimera monster before pondering.

\'Should check its body for any monster core or something equivalent? Right! This monster was the strongest being that I have ever fought, hell, I almost died to it just now. With that, it would be foolish of me to not want to assimilate with its blood.\'

"Alright, let\'s get to it right away before it clots" 

Randy stood up and then stepped down from the chimera monster\'s body and afterward, he activated his skill once again.

[[Blood Authority Skill Activated]]

Using his skill, he quickly drained all the salvageable blood from the chimera monster\'s body and shortly after formed a blob of red and black liquid. 

\'What the hell is this? Why do I find the black substance mixed with the blood appalling?\'

Randy thought as he unconsciously got rid of all the black substance that looked like some type of blood within the blob of red blood. 

For some reason, when he saw controlled the black blood with his Blood Authority Skill, it worked but at the same time, he found the black blood repulsive, and he could even say that it was contaminated blood.

Afterward, he proceeded to use his Blood Authority to further get rid of the harmful substance in the red blood depending on his \'blood sense\' and soon enough, there was only a tiny amount of blood left after he was done.

After that, he hovered the blood over and into his palm after solidifying it.

[[Detected purified blood of an awakened human?]]

\'Awakened human? Just like I thought, so this chimera monster was in fact a human before he got turned into this? Just who would do such a thing? If this was normal times, I wouldn\'t have cared about this. But since this thing attacked me and almost killed me, I can\'t just be idle with finding out the culprit behind it.\' Randy silently thought with a scowled expression.

The next moment, he tossed the solidified blood into his mouth without hesitation.

[[Detected that the host has consumed purified blood of an awakened human?]]

[[Assimilation Mode Activated]]

[[Assimilation With Blood Commencing]]

\'Hmm... What is this strange feeling? Something is off about this blood. Why do I feel like something is missing? And Why is the system showing question marks at the end?\' 

[[Assimilation Completion: 75%]]

[[Due to assimilating with the blood, you have obtained the following abilities and traits: Paralyzing Spittle(100%), Agile Feet(Corroded)(0%), Minor Regeneration(Corroded)(0%), Claw Strike (Corroded)(0%), Innate Body Strengthen(corroded)(0%), Sharp Fangs(Corroded)(0%), and Synergy(Incomplete, Partially Corroded)(50%)]]

\'What? That\'s all? That can\'t be right! What about that pressure attack from before? What about that hateful dark energy that almost cost me my life? Why aren\'t those abilities included? And also what does the abilities with \'corroded\' mean?\' Randy immediately questioned the system in his mind with a frown on his face when he saw the displayed abilities and traits.
