After Vlad grabbed the green sphere and glanced at it, he felt rather shocked by the presence within it and what he felt by glancing at it. His eyes widened in disbelief, realizing it had a slight presence from a being he had just slayed yesterday, or, well, an avatar of such a being.
[The faint presence of the {Maiden of the Emerald Sea} is being exuded from the Mysterious Orb.]
"Huh?!"
The green orb seemed to have been the only "dropped item" that the gigantic ghostly slime monster had dropped once it was defeated, a crystallization of the presence of this Outer God.
Honestly, the Vampire Prince didn't really know what to do with this; it seemed way too risky and scary to employ in any way.
Even though it might be a top-notch material if used in a weapon, the results of infusing the presence and essence of an Outer God inside could be catastrophic if things get out of control.
For now, he decided to save it inside his inventory, which seemed to be safe and capable of even storing and sealing the deadliest of cursed items with ease.
Isolated within the internal space of the inventory that all Players had, this item should remain safe and also unable to touch him or anybody around him, keeping things safe.
For now.
"Maybe I could use this for some sort of attack? Perhaps as a last resort when I don't even know what else to do? Hopefully never." He thought. "Well, I only need to find a way to bind its power to my will. It's only a faint presence, but what stops the Outer God from using it as the catalyst for another powerful avatar? Dammit… Well, I'll see how crazy I am to do something with it later or not."
For now, he tried to not concentrate on that and instead concentrated on the several system screens that popped up in front of him after he finished absorbing the blood of the Dark Spirits and then eating as many corpses as he could before he stopped gaining power from that, which were roughly around ten of each Dark Spirit type and the blood of around fifty in total.
FLUOSH!
The amount of blood energy overflowing through his body was immense. With it, he rapidly refined his Blood Core and even used the Bloodline Fragments to merge them with his own Bloodline, reinforcing it and making it stronger.
"Ah yeah, this is it…!"
Ding!
[You have satiated your bloodthirst, drinking a large quantity of Cursed Spiritual Blood from Dark Spirits, which your body has absorbed without many problems.]
[You gained +1.200.000 Blood Energy.]
[Your [Blood Core]: [Blood Evolution Realm (Tier 6: Rank 1)] has Ranked Up to Tier 6: Rank 5!]
[Your Blood Power has increased by +3.200.]
[Your Strength, Vitality, and Dexterity have increased by +2.800.]
[Your Arcana has increased by +2.800.]
[All of your Racial Skills have gained 1 Bonus Level.]
"Rank 5! Not bad; it rose by four, and seeing how high the requirements were, it is pretty good…" Vlad thought. "No new Skill though, but I guess I already have too many to worry about getting new ones. Let's work with the large pool of Skills I already have. Perhaps fusing some more Skills would be good to prepare for tomorrow."
Ding!
[You have used the power of Gluttony to devour dozens of other corpses, gaining additional power and assimilating their properties while devouring lingering soul fragments, further empowering your Soul.]
[Additionally, your Soul has absorbed a large quantity of Dark Spiritual Energy, which has been seamlessly assimilated, strengthening your Soul even further.]
[Your [Soul]: [Spiritual Golden Red Sea Psyche (Tier 4: Rank 3)] has Ranked Up to Tier 4: Rank 7!]
[You Soul Ether has increased by +2.000.]
[You Arcana has increased by +1.800.]
[Your Soul has absorbed Dark Spiritual Energy, gaining Dark Spiritual Essence within it, which has slightly changed its composition, making it more Spiritual and Spectral.]
[You acquired the Soul Skill: [Spectral Spiritual Soul Transformation (B): Lv1]!]
[You have unlocked the [Soul Skills] Slots within your Status!]
[You currently have 4 Soul Skill Slots, which one has been occupied.]
[Soul Skills are extremely rare and unique skills capable of transforming, strengthening, and boosting the power of your Soul. Whenever you get a new one, don't hesitate to equip it.]
"S-Soul Skills?" Vlad thought. "I don't feel any different, but that did happen while I absorbed all of that blood, huh? Interesting. Maybe my soul will truly feel different if I activate the Skill, I'll save that for later, though, but Soul Skills seem interesting."
Ding!
[You have absorbed the Bloodline Fragments of your targets, further strengthening your own Bloodline's growth.]
[Your [Bloodline]: [Lesser Vampire Chimera Bloodline (Tier 4: Rank 1)] has Ranked Up to Tier 4: Rank 3!]
[Your Blood Power has increased by +1.000.]
[You Arcana has increased by +900.]
[Your Bloodline is responding to the Dark Spirit Bloodline!]
[However, it seems to not be enough Fragments.]
[You have unlocked a Special Bloodline Evolution Requirement.]
[Gather the necessary Bloodline Fragments to evolve your current Bloodline.]
[Aberrant Dark Spirit Bloodline Fragments]: [0/5]
[Three-Headed Purgatory Dog Bloodline Fragment]: [0/3]
[Abyssal Banshee Bloodline Fragments]: [0/10]
[Fallen Dark Spirit King Bloodline Fragment]: [0/1]
[Once you gather all required Bloodline Fragments, your Bloodline will evolve into a brand-new bloodline, giving you bonus stats, new skills, and a new evolution.]
"What?!"
Vlad loudly screamed as he saw the notification.
Evolution!
He was finally given a chance to evolve!
In Fantasy Story Online, evolution was a rare thing. Players would usually remain the same as before, always.
However, this time, it was different, although he had already modified his body a lot after he obtained a Blood Demon Skeleton and gained a Chimera Bloodline, his Race was still…
[Race]: [Dhampir (Weak Bloodline)]
No matter how much he tried to improve or change, this pathetic-looking weakling race never changed, making Paul slightly frustrated.
But now, the chance has finally come.
However, there was a problem.
"Who the hell are these monsters?!"
They sounded like creatures he had never heard of before, nor even read on the online wiki.
There was a big chance that these monsters had not even been discovered by Players yet…
"Damn it… It isn't going to be easy, huh?"
