Even though Roynan, the source of its power, was dead, the ice wall was still perfectly intact.
'What an annoying bastard.'
'If your owner dies, you should either collapse on your own or lt. Pick one.'
Su-ho swung his sword as if he was bothered.
Schk!
[ Sky Cleave activates. ]
Even without using Enhancent, the ownerless ice wall got sliced apart like tofu.
After repeating that a few tis, the upper part of the essence was soon exposed.
When Su-ho smashed away the area around the essence with his fist, the essence imdiately floated up, then approached Su-ho as it was originally supposed to.
It was right after the cursed prince's essence seeped into Su-ho's body.
[ The cursed prince offers everything of himself to you. ]
[ You have obtained the cursed prince's essence. ]
[ Beginning absorption of the cursed prince's essence. ]
Hwaaaak!
Essence absorption began.
At the sa ti, a bright light burst out and covered Su-ho, and in that process, Su-ho could see the cursed prince's mories, like back when it was the Lizard Dragon.
The cursed prince's mories replay inside his head.
Bubblebubble-
Two vampires.
When those two whispered love to each other and mixed their blood, blood foam rose from the mixed blood-water, and countless vampires were born.
The cursed prince was one of them.
His na was Revan.
More precisely, Revan de Nosferatu.
A middle na could only be held starting from royal vampires, and if it was the masculine form it was "de," and if it was the feminine form it was "di."
Surprisingly, Revan hadn't been oppressed from the very beginning.
Because Revan inherited royal blood, he was born with overwhelming stats and grew into a full adult the mont he was born.
And following the rules of the vampire world, which strictly followed the law of the jungle and the principle of the strong being supre, he fought endless ranking battles against his siblings who were born together with him, as well as siblings born before him, and at last seized the prince title that granted him the qualifications for succession.
Everything was going smoothly.
Revan's parents acknowledged Revan's abilities, and among the siblings their parents had produced, he was also the first to earn the title of High Blood.
But the tragedy started from then.
"Among the princes of the House of Nosferatu, our High Blood will soday face the tragic fate of being annihilated by Revan de Nosferatu."
The High Priest Alucard.
A Royal Vampyr, a royal vampire, a High Blood, and the divine representative who held the highest position of High Priest among the priests who served the First Blood.
He always delivered the words of the First Blood in their stead, and his pronouncents, delivered like prophecies and revelations, instantly ruined Revan's life.
"This bastard, turns out he was cursed?"
"You damned cursed bastard!"
"Because of you, our High Blood gets wiped out!"
"Blasphemous, blasphemous! How could a thing like you be born!"
Revan fell in an instant.
Revan had legitimately seized the prince title according to the law of the jungle and the principle of the strong being supre, but the other siblings who envied Revan didn't miss the bait and started tearing into Revan like crazy.
It was a desperate fight.
He did his best so he wouldn't lose his position as prince.
Because if he lost even the prince seat here, it felt like his identity would collapse.
So he fought.
He fought and fought and fought again.
But that fight had no end.
Because the bloodlines of the Royal Vampyr could never die unless you burned them all with solar attribute until not a single drop of blood remained.
The sa was true for Revan.
But it felt like his mind would be destroyed instead of his body.
Everyone pointed fingers at Revan.
They were busy cursing him as the cursed prince, condemning him, and spitting on him.
"Die! Die!"
"Why don't you just go into Helldown yourself?"
"A guy like you is a prince? Even livestock passing by would laugh."
He reached his limit.
'If I step down from the prince seat, will it be okay?'
'This contempt and oppression that feels like I'm dying... it feels like it's telling to give up the prince seat.'
There was no other choice.
For example, suicide.
But he couldn't die.
There was nothing more disgraceful for a vampire than taking your own life.
And if he died like that, he hated it even more, because it felt like I would be acknowledging the prophecy myself.
Just as everything was getting stained with darkness, everything changed.
[ The Great Cataclysm begins. ]
A notification that appeared before Revan's eyes.
That absurdly familiar UI was, unbelievably, a system notification.
Su-ho, seeing that too, had his eyes widen.
'This is...!'
In an instant, his vision blacked out.
And when he regained his sight, Revan's back was visible from so distance away.
Revan was making so kind of sign.
More precisely, he was scribbling sothing with his finger onto sothing like a system notification, and when that ended...
[ The contract has been concluded. ]
Along with an additional system notification, a beam of light descended onto Revan.
Whooooo!
His vision blacked out again.
Then, slowly, as if white paint was spreading through darkness, Su-ho's vision returned.
[ You have seen part of the mories of the cursed prince Revan de Nosferatu. ]
[ You inherit the will of the cursed prince Revan de Nosferatu. ]
[ You have completely fused with the cursed prince Revan de Nosferatu. ]
[ All conditions to unlock the fourth authority of Vampire Blood have been t. ]
[ 1) Reach level 300. ]
[ 2) et ???. ]
[ The fourth authority of Vampire Blood is unlocked. ]
[ 'Revan de Nosferatu' has been unlocked. ]
[ From 'Revan de Nosferatu,' you have learned 'High Blood' (S). ]
[ From 'Revan de Nosferatu,' you have learned 'Price of Power' (S). ]
[ Due to the effects of 'High Blood,' information for so skills will change. ]
[ Due to the effects of 'Price of Power,' information for so skills will change. ]
System notifications poured down.
Su-ho finally succeeded in unlocking the fourth authority of Vampire Blood.
Su-ho imdiately checked the trait information again first.
[ Vampire Blood ]
Rank: S
# The bloodline of 'Revan de Nosferatu,' who belongs to High Blood even among the Royal Vampyr, original vampires called the nobles of the night.
# Lv.1 - Royal Blood: Original Vampyr (S)
# Lv.2 - True Blood: True Power (S)
# Lv.3 - Sacred Blood: Blessing of the Moon (S)
# Lv.4 - Revan de Nosferatu: High Blood (S), Price of Power (S)
# Lv.5 - [ ??? ]: Locked.
└ Unlock Conditions
1. Reach level 400.
2. Unknown.
.....
Su-ho, after checking the information, nodded.
"The trait description itself changed."
Originally it was about the bloodline of the Royal Vampyr, but now, maybe because he had fully accepted Revan's power, the bloodline factor was clearly set as Revan's.
"Still, for the authority na to be 'Revan de Nosferatu'......"
Just looking at the authority na, you could feel how strong Revan's will was.
Maybe because of that, it was pretty fascinating.
Because this was the first ti he'd seen a case like this.
'Maybe from the mont I got bitten by Revan, my Vampire Blood was destined to beco like this.'
It didn't really matter.
Either way, if you only looked at the backstory, this guy seed pretty special too.
Su-ho then checked the information for the derived skills, including the authority.
[ Revan de Nosferatu ]
# The fourth authority of Vampire Blood.
# A tragic vampire who, despite having powerful strength and qualifications, was branded a 'cursed existence' and oppressed due to the prophecy declared by Alucard, the High Priest and divine representative.
# Through a certain contract, he finally found a way to take revenge on his clan and handed everything over to the Player An Su-ho.
[ High Blood ]
Rank: S
# The fourth authority of liberated Vampire Blood, and the High Blood of Revan de Nosferatu.
# A vampire's rank is determined from birth. High Blood are chosen beings who can only exist at the very top among them.
# A vampire who possesses High Blood does not take damage from simple sunlight, silver, holy water, crosses, or garlic.
# A vampire who possesses High Blood can subjugate vampires below them through force.
# A vampire who possesses High Blood holds the most powerful grade of strength among the sa bloodline techniques.
# By inheriting the blood of a true High Blood, all vampire traits have been strengthened a step further.
# By inheriting the blood of a High Blood, the blood has taken on the properties of High Blood.
[ Price of Power ]
Rank: S
# One of the possessed abilities of Revan de Nosferatu, the fourth authority of liberated Vampire Blood.
# Through a deal with Revan de Nosferatu, you have obtained his High Blood.
# Therefore, when using the High Blood of Revan de Nosferatu, several conditions are attached.
# The first condition is that, only against vampires who believe the prophecy and oppress and despise you, a rage effect is added, your abilities increase by 20%, and you can instinctively sense the presence of High Blood.
# The second condition is that, the mont you are defeated by vampires who oppress and despise you, or you submit, or you sympathize with the prophecy, you will lose all possessed Vampire Blood traits due to the curse of Revan de Nosferatu.
# The third condition will be revealed when you eliminate all High Blood vampires.
Su-ho slowly read through the trait information.
And after reading the Price of Power part, he let out a hollow laugh.
'Looks like his desire for revenge against his clan is really boiling over.'
You could glimpse that fervor especially in the part that said the mont you lose even once, or submit, or sympathize with the prophecy, you lose all your power.
'Well, High Blood isn't sothing any dog or cow can just get, and at this level, it's still a profitable deal.'
It really was.
Because while Price of Power carried high risk, it also had a high return, letting him use power that was 20% stronger against other High Blood.
'Of course, that's only under the condition that it's a vampire who oppressed and despised him... ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) but in a closed society like that, it would be harder to find soone who didn't talk shit about Revan.'
Still, what is the third condition?
Judging by the description, it seed highly likely to be a reward.
Because eliminating all High Blood vampires was set as a conditional requirent.
'And for my blood to have taken on the properties of High Blood...'
Yeah, I can't not check that.
Su-ho imdiately summoned the blood sword by using Blood Armory and grabbed it.
Hwaaaak!
"Oh."
An exclamation that ca out without him realizing it.
And it made sense, because just like when he inherited true dragon blood, this ti too the blood sword had beco strengthened another step further.
'Every ti I progress the trait quest one by one, the blood sword gets stronger.'
Honestly, the weapon issue was why he tried to get the Vampyr trait in the first place, but sohow he reached a much better result, and that makes him really happy.
Su-ho then checked the other Vampire Blood skills one by one.
Because so skill information had changed due to High Blood and Price of Power.
'And it said it changed a total of two tis, no less.'
Su-ho was in the middle of checking the Vampire Blood skills one by one.
'Huh...?'
Roynan?
'Why is this bastard's na written here?'
Su-ho's eyes went wide.
