Bloodline Awakening. part 1

There was a very overexcited slime wiggling around in the room. Konrad watched with amusement as Tavy proclaimed her wholehearted agreement with the new name.

"I assume you like it?.." He asked jokingly.

Tavy didn't respond because a lot of thoughts were currently passing through her 'mind'.

'How could i be so stupid!!! Daddy is the greatest person in the world! He would never do anything to hurt me! It's settled! I would never doubt Daddy again! I love him so much! Oh... he's asking something!...Do i like it? I Love it! And i love my Daddy so much too!'

*I love it very much Daddy! It's so similar to my original name yet it fits perfectly with me being a girl! And you don't even have to change how you call me! Your so smart Daddy!* Tavy, or now Octavia, exclaimed happily.

"Haha! I'm glad you like it! See? I told you that you need not to worry. I Just want you to be happy Octavia.

Tavy shuddered happily, hearing her new name. It felt really nice when Daddy called her like this. She jumped onto his lap and snuggled into his chest.

*I love you Daddy!* She exclaimed happily.

"I love you too Tavy." He said while gently caressing her Jelly...

It was a few days after they Returned from Greece and Konrad still couldn't figure out what attacked him when he looked for the Stele. His observe became all jumbled and the thing itself disappeared after he defeated it. The only thing he knew was, that it was black, looked like a shark, and had an affinity with ice and weakness to light magic. One thing was for certain though...It wasn't a normal animal...

Having no further clue though, Konrad decided to leave this matter for later and look more into his other researches.

After Giving Octavia her new name, Konrad decided to finally look into awakening her bloodline! That's why the two of them were currently inside the Lottery space with a few week's worth of spare food supplies....

He hoped to awaken Tavy, but he didn't know how long it would take so he decided to prepare excessively...

"I don't know what we need to do nor i know what materials would be the best to awaken your bloodline Octavia. That said, i don't want you to get hurt so we'll be using little dosages of any material i have and check for any changes. In the meantime, i managed to gather another ten liters of my blood even though I had to craft all those formations so we will be doing a lottery somewhere in the meantime while trying to make you evolve." He said to Octavia.

*Could i pull the lever Daddy?* Asked Tavy in a pleading tone.

Konrad smiled looking at the cute slime and said...

"Of course Tavy. i see no problem with that. Just watch for the knife when we do that."

*Ok Daddy!*

________

There was a big pile of metal lying in front of the duo, after Konrad took out and used all the metal prizes he possessed.

A 30 kg pile of raw Orichalcum ore, and 5 kg of ingots, A 10 kg pile of raw mithrill Ore and 5 kg of ingots and another 10 kg of raw adamantite ore.

The Orichalcum was obviously the most common among the three. It was a sea coloured metal with it's overall rank being B and it's magical Conductivity rank being C.

Then there was Mithrill. It was a silvery white metal with the same overall rank yet better Conductivity than Orichalcum reaching a B rank. It was supposedly worse than Orichalcum when being used as a weapon and armour material but better in magic equipment, formations and artifacts.

Finally There came Adamantite. It was a beautiful Purple coloured metal, that was the rarest of the Three and certainly the most powerful. Konrad was really surprised when instead of an A rank Conductivity, Adamantite jumped straight to the S class! It was still overall an A rank material but Konrad was almost certain that if it wasn't only an ore then the Observe would show him something else...

"Damn Those are some good materials..." He muttered.

*Umm...So how do we do that Daddy?*

"Well...I guess, we'll start with Orichalcum first and go up from there." Konrad said and grabbed a small chunk of the ore from the pile.

"Here you go. For now try digesting it without Mana." Konrad said.

Octavia was just about to grab the piece before he suddenly stopped her and said..

"Wait...just let me write down your status first. I almost forgot. Observe!" Konrad said causing the status window to pop up in front of him.

| Description: Octavia is a Slime familiar of Konrad Caster.

As a slime, It is a Creature born from the accumulation of Mana, often categorized as a monster species. It's usually considered the weakest of the magical species, but the presence of two powerful bloodlines and her birth through strong blood and magic, gives Octavia a very high potential and improved intelligence from a young age.

Slimes are considered the cleaners of the environment. Thanks to their controllably corrosive bodies, they can digest most existing substances and are often attracted by garbage due to its varied, biological composition.

Thanks to consuming a bit of highly magical material with a lot of additional Mana, Octavia was able to partially awaken her bloodlines.

She is currently very excited and hopes to get stronger for her 'Daddy'.

________

"Alright, it's done!" Konrad said while smiling after reading the last part.

"Go on Octavia. Eat this and try to uhh...absorb it?" He proposed.

*Ok Daddy!* Octavia replied before enveloping the piece of ore with her slime by making a tentacle out of it. As the tentacle started retracting back into her body Konrad could already see something happening.

*Uh...D-Daddy? This...* Octavia sounded a bit scared now because the piece of ore looked as if it was sucking the colour from the slime around it.

"Tavy! are you alright?! Observe!" Konrad quickly cast the observe to check what was going on. The Answer became clear when he looked at Octavia's Mana count. It was quickly falling down and Konrad could guess what was happening. They didn't input any power into the piece so Tavy had to use her own Mana to digest it! But if it continued like this, her Mana would be completely exhausted, and then what?

The piece was about the size of the Amulet of Phobos but that amulet had a ruby, that was fully charged with Mana!

"Tavy! You are subconsciously providing Mana to digest that piece! spit it out or try to slow it down!"He said quickly to the more and more scared slime.

*D-Daddy... I-I'm trying to...* She said and he could see as she focused harder.

The tentacle became longer once again, while the piece moved to the end of it. Then suddenly the end of the tentacle parted from the rest of the body, and the slime covered metal splashed onto the ground.

"Tavy! are you alright?!"

*Yes Daddy...I think I absorbed a part of it, but... I didn't have enough Mana to finish the work...* Replied Octavia.

Konrad picked her up and looked her all over realizing that her Blue coloured body had now a tint of sea blue to it, but just a tiny bit...

"Huh...i see. So we need to fill them with Mana beforehand. Did it hurt you?" Asked Konrad worriedly.

*I...Yes...It hurt a bit. thankfully it was just a small bit.* She said and tried to say more but was stopped by Konrad's hug.

"I'm so sorry Tavy! I didn't expect for it to happen. I knew it was safer to try tiny pieces first but for only this much to affect you like this. I'm so thankful that the amulet was full of Mana. It could have hurt you!"

*No Daddy! You don't have to apologise! It's all new for both of us, so neither of us could have known. Now let's continue. Just let me regain some Mana.*

Konrad finally nodded and the duo sat back on the ground With Octavia on his lap.

Konrad picked up the fragments of ore that Tavy tried to digest, and realized that it was smaller than in the begining. He could also see that the impurities and regular stone in the ore disappeared, leaving only the sea blue, magical metal behind. 'Huh...that's one way to clean and purify an ore...'

The metal was fragile but that was to be expected...It wasn't melted down into an ingot but instead, everything else that was mixed with the metal had been corroded away.

Konrad shared his observations with Octavia and she volunteered to clean his ore, when they figure out a safe way to do that.

Around ten minutes later, Tavy's Mana returned to normal so Konrad once again grabbed the half digested piece of Orichalcum, but this time before giving it to Octavia he began to pour his Mana into it.

The fragility of the metal quickly disappeared after he input a bit of his Mana into it, but it was much less than Octavia possessed so he had to give the work of Mana supplier to her. Of course he also helped, and in doing so, continued his capacity training but his part wasn't much in comparison to her.

'Is it normal for slimes to have so much Mana or do I have so little?' Konrad thought awkwardly.

After the duo poured what amounted to around 300 Mana points into the metal piece, the Orichalcum was practically vibrating. Suddenly it became very hard to continue so he came to the conclusion that it was the limit of Mana that this little piece could hold.

Konrad gave it to Octavia so she could absorb it and smiled as the metal began to properly dissolve inside of her, slowly causing her body to become the colour of the sea...

" Haha it worked! let's se how it affected you!Observe!"
