Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 641 The Secret Power Of The Darkage Lineage

-----

As Aquarina let the shadows take over her entire body, she battled against the bloodlust and negative thoughts of war, destruction, and assassination that ca with this power. She recalled the teachings of her father, which had begun teaching her these Secret Assassination Arts and Shadow Magic three years ago.

"Aquarina, I am sure you've been wondering what is the power I possess, right? It is sothing that goes beyond re magic conjured by magic circles, and which goes beyond re dagger techniques that just anybody can learn with enough dedication." Shade said, one night when the moon was shining brightly on top of the star-filled sky.

"Yeah… I've always wondering if I could… ever use the power papa has." She said while sighing. "But seeing how you never taught any of that for years I thought I didn't had aptitude?"

"I thought the sa before." Shade sighed, giving his daughter a head pat. "However, you've surprised with your growth. The challenges you've faced with Sylph and Zack, and how rapidly you've developed. I have sensed within you that you indeed had the talent."

"H-How?" Aquarina wondered.

"It is easy… Our bloodline is special. We are more than just humans." Shade said. "We descend from an ancient, almost prehistoric lineage, almost extinct. We descend from the forr servants of the Gods, they used to na our family… The Vampyr, Humans especially created by the gods to have incredible assassination abilities, and rge with shadows themselves beyond what soone with darkness magic aptitude was able to do."

"Eh? Such power… Do I really have sothing like that?" Aquarina felt shocked.

"You've had it for a while now, don't you rember the ti your eyes turned red when you were trying to protect Sylph from the True Demons? Or when shadows erged from your fingertips, helping you move swifter and even see the weak spots of your foes?" Shade asked with a smile.

"I… I did…" She muttered. "This power… I rember it made my mind go numb, it made have… bad thoughts."

"Yeah, alongside such power cos a risk, darkness itself consus our judgent, we beco pure darkness, therefore, our minds fall into the abyss." Shade said. "I will teach you not only how to control this power but resist the temptations of the Abyss that tries to engulf our minds as we transform. Aquarina, this is going to be an incredibly harsh training… My daughter, I will give you a chance. Do you truly want to walk through this path?"

"The legacy of my family…" Aquarina seed surprised that her father would ever ask her if she truly wanted or not. "Of course I want to! Papa, please teach ! I'll do my best. I've even been trained by mama; I think I am hardy enough."

"Heh, certainly. But this training might be a thousand tis more excruciating… However, I can guarantee you that once you go through the starting phase, your physical capabilities will skyrocket." Shade said. "The younger you do this, the better your growth will beco."

"Alright… I am prepared!" Aquarina nodded. "(For Sylphy… And for my friends… And my family… I need more power. I cannot just keep using water or ice alone. I need as much strength as I can.)"

Like that, Aquarina started her training. Her father, the Hero of Shadows was a mysterious man. Many wanted to know his secrets techniques, his hidden arts, and the powers he held, which went beyond logic.

"Unnnggh…! Aaagggh!"

Aquarina began crying, as she gritted her teeth, darkness was taking over her body as she utilized [Shadow Embodint], the lowest tiered Transformation Ability of her lineage, yet it brought her intense agony in both body and mind.

She felt as if her body was dissolving, and her mind was being eaten by negative thoughts… by insanity itself.

"Many mbers of our family could never go through this training. I rember many of my siblings perish as they tried to maintain this form, only going insane and turning into Hollows, beings made of pure darkness whose souls were devoured by the abyss." Shade said, his voice was loud and domineering. "Aquarina! Fight the darkness! Think about those things you love, think about those you care! Think about what you want to do in the future… about what you have yet to achieve! Fight the darkness… but not only defend yourself, devour it back!"

"Unnggh…! AAAGGH…!" Aquarina's red eyes began bleeding as she continuously tried to fight the darkness, but then was taken completely by it.

F L A A A S H!

She beca a Hollow.

"OOOOOOHHH!!!"

Her body suddenly began to distort, countless tentacles made of shadows erged from within her body, as red eyes appeared across her formless, and ethereal body.

"I knew this would happen… Yet we took the risk. Don't worry, your father wouldn't had risked you to this point without having a plan himself." Shade smiled, as he quickly evaded Aquarina's attacks.

CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAASH! CLAAAASH!

Her amorphous body continued to shapeshift as it was consud by the darkness and shadows, gigantic and aberrant limbs erged from within, trying to catch Shade and crush him.

"GRAAAAAAHH!"

A furious roar echoed from within her face, as Shade evaded an enormous beam of darkness erging from within her distorted jaws.

BOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!

"Good thing we're practicing in the desolate outskirts of the city…" Sighed Shade, quickly erging right behind Aquarina's body and grabbing her tiny head.

"[Dispel Curse], [Devour Shadows]!"

FLAAAAASH!

The curse of their bloodline was temporarily dispersed, and so did the shadows, which were devoured by Shade… and from within that, Aquarina erged, gasping for air as she rested over the floor.

"Hahhh… Hahhh… Ngh… Damn it!" She muttered, resisting her tears. "I… what did I beco?"

"That was a Hollow. I also beca one in my youth…" Sighed Shade. "Every mber of our family has to experience this pain before unlocking their truest potential. Aquarina… This is only the beginning."
