Darkness Heavenly Essence

The system announced and Nicola didn't think twice about accepting the request. 'Yes'. The system had helped in situations like this at times, the evolution of lineages and the merging of professions made it clear that the system could guarantee the safety of the procedure.

[Starting to assimilate the Celestial Essence .....]

[Celestial Essence of Darkness being attached around the nucleus, completion of the assimilation process in 256 seconds.]

[255, 254, 253, 252, 251, 250 ....]

The process of assimilation through the system happened much faster than Nicola expected, he clearly felt pain but it was not as difficult as before, the sphere of darkness became really an essence, a black smoke that floated and launched small tentacles inside the dantian Nicola.

Now assimilated by him, he started to have the same energy signature as Nicola, as if it were a part of his body. In Nicola's dantian there was a sphere that shone like a rainbow, with the addition of white and black colors. Around that core that acted like the sun now circulated the celestial essence of darkness like a planet around it.

And orbiting the celestial essence of darkness, there are five small black spheres like natural satelites, which fed on the energy emitted by it, which launched tentacles of dark mana constantly digested by the spheres of sin.

[Darkness Heavenly Essence successfully assimilated. Host now has superior control over the element of darkness.]

[The host had leveled up by two levels]

[Information about available Celestial Essences, do you want to read? Y / N]

Nicola was amazed that he managed to climb two levels just by assimilating an essence. 'status' he thought.

Nicola then looked around confirming that he was safe and released the two brothers from the spatial artifact. The two as soon as they left went into attack mode, Kin brandishing his sword unleashing white flames and Gin spinning his staff as white ice spears floated around him. They both looked at the gray fire sphere floating around as they surrounded Nicola to protect him.

'TWACK', 'TWACK'. Nicola slapped them both on the back of the head making them lose concentration. The white flames went out while the ice crystals turned to dust. "Where did you learn these techniques? Not more important now, I'm fine, I'm just going to go through the strengthening process and I need you to watch my body." He warned and sat cross-legged on the floor.

Before accepting the reinforcement in the bloodline he looked to the side, where the corpse and soulmetal still existed. Then one of his horns glowed with a dark yellow tint opening a space portal directly linked to Nicola's body, it was the power of greed. And then, with his seven tails, Nicola moved the raw ore into its particular dimension, untraceable to anyone looking for it.

Then he closed his eyes and granted the system permission to update his bloodline. 'Yes,' he thought.

[Starting the process of strengthening the lineage.]

Nicola's blood bubbled into his body becoming purer and thicker, he could feel like two snakes running through his veins, one black and one white, transforming his red blood cells and fighting for control over his body, but neither was superior to control the other, then they continued fighting while updating Nicola's body.

On his back another tail came out, the eighth that swung white and furry along with the others, one of Nicola's horns shone with a sickly purple light, the sign of the birth of another sin sphere in Nicola's dantian. Joining the five that already existed orbiting Darkness Heavenly Essence.

The muscles became more toned and defined as their aura grew like a tide emanating imperial power in all directions.

[Lust sin unlocked]

[Next bloodline reinforcement - Lvl. 40]

After going through the reinforcement of the lineage, he used his blessing ability provided by the blood of kitsune to heal the damage caused by the processes he went through, he was still full of bruises on his body and with purple marks. A white light energy came out of his tails as they touched the wounds, healing them in the blink of an eye, whoever watched could even see the cuts closing as if it hadn't happened.
