The Bloodline System

st the stats getting halved didn ’t affect my bloodlines or skills… I can still make use of them at their original power, ’ Gustav said internally as he noticed this.

His speed may have been reduced, but it was still fast when he coupled Sprint with the serpent ’s transformation.

In about two minutes, Gustav had climbed out of the hole and transformed back into human form before letting his feet take the form of the bloodwolf.

Originally, the bloodwolf could move at a hundred feet per second. Still, when Gustav activated Sprint, it was close to his original speed when Sprint was activated.

The Bloodwolf was the fastest transformation in his possession, so that was the best to use for the current situation.

Swooosshhh!

Gustav dashed with speed across the passageway he first came into contact with. Even though Life Sign Tracking had been deactivated, Gustav was still able to sense how to get to the location.

He moved as fast as he could at the moment. He could have still boosted his speed by combining Dash and Sprint. However, he felt he should conserve energy for the upcoming battle since he only had little information about the silhouette.

’Be okay till I get there, Angy, ’ Gustav couldn ’t just get rid of the nagging feeling tugging at the back of his mind.

_____________

In the part of the ruins where the battle was ongoing, four participants with fatigued looking faces engaged the silhouette in front.

They couldn ’t touch the creature since a single touch would cause their hands to be infected with blackish energy. ’

Even their long-ranged attacks were barely effective.

Angy was practically useless in the fight. All she could do was run around throwing some things she picked up at it.

The silhouette was currently handling their attacks with ease while feeding on the arm of a team member. Slurping and crunching sound reverberated across the place as it chewed casually.

It was almost like it was mocking them.

”You bastard!!! How could you eat Maddie?!!! ” One of them shouted out as he swung out spiky rocks towards the silhouette.

Tears and snot had covered his face, which was filled with panic and rage.

”Hehehe. She ’s delicious, delicious, yummy, tasty…. ” Laughter could be heard coming from the silhouette as it phased into the ground dodging the attacks before phasing out of another part of the ground where corpses could be seen.

The silhouette quickly grabbed onto the leg of a female corpse and tore it from her body.

A wide opening appeared in its face area, and it proceeded to dip half of the leg from the thigh area into its mouth before biting down with intensity.

The group eyes turned red even more as they witnessed that. However, before they could attack it, it disappeared once again, only for it to reappear about three hundred feet away.

It stared at the group with a taunting look as it feasted on the legs of the girl.

”Ahhhhh! ” One of them shouted out and dashed towards it with a crazed look.

”Johnson, no! ” The group screamed out, but he totally ignored them.

A large grin appeared on the face of the creature as it watched the boy approach him.

Just as it was preparing to attack the boy…

Swwoosshh!

Angy swooped in and grabbed onto the boy before forcefully returning back to their initial position.

”Don ’t be stupid. The closer we are to it, the more shadows it will be able to manipulate and deal with us, ” Angy voiced out with a slightly annoyed tone.
