41. first blooded

[Shadow Equip]

[Best Advanced beast boots]

[Agility+ 10]

[Stamina+ 6]

Abraham immediately activated the active skill of the boot converting 20% of points from strength to agility. With 10 points from the boots itself and 15 from strength due to the active skill, Abraham's new agility was now 100. He darted past the trees in the forest and in no time he saw some figures in front of him.

He unequipped his boots and even then, the gain momentum was still the same. From the time that Robert got the wound till Abraham came, alone around five seconds had elapsed. Gwen was hugging the fallen body of Robert while the one-spike dalki was about to finish both of them. Malia on her side was making ice barrier after ice barrier as the three-spike dalki was crushing it.

Malia could only watch as the one-spike dalki lifted its arm to attack Gwen. But the attack never happened. Instead, there was something bizarre when looking at the dalki. Its arm was still up but on top of the dalki's body, no head was visible.

On the contrary, the head was seen rolling on the ground. Shortly after, the body also fell to the ground. Due to the sudden change of scenario, the three-spike dalki had stopped his attack on Malia and was now looking at the new human. Malia took the chance and distanced herself from the dalki and went by the side of Gwen and the wounded Robert.

After seeing Robert, Abraham lifted his head toward the dalki and at the same time raise his hand. A vertical blood swipe mixed with Qi escaped his hand and traversed to the three-spike dalki. The next instance, the blood swipe separated the dalki's body vertically into two and the now two parts of the dalki's body fell on both sides.

Such a huge threat was eliminated just like that. It was beyond comprehension. A three-spike dalki was the strongest threat human ever faced. Even that took all major powerful ability users to stop it. In the end, many lost their lives but the then three-spike dalki was able to escape.

Abraham finally came to the body of Robert. Gwen was holding the latter body on her lap. Even after her loud cries of Robert's name, his body stayed motionless. Abraham put his hand on Robert's body and he heard a faint heartbeat. Just then the system talked to him.

"If you wish to save him, you must act quickly," the system said.

"I have a way to save Robert, but know that the Robert you know now will not be the same after being rescued. He will need to do many things that are not morally acceptable. So, Gwen, you have the choice, but you have to decide fast, whether to do so or not." Abraham looked directly into Gwen's eyes while saying those words.

Malia on the side was still dumbfounded by whatever was happening. She was having mixing feelings about all the events. For the first time since the war started, she required someone to save her. She thought herself to be powerful but just the fight against the dalki has brought her to reality. She felt extremely grateful to Abraham something she never thought to feel after being cold to everyone. Other times she was having thought as to why Abraham had never helped the human if he was so powerful. And now he was saying that he was able to save Robert from an injury and Malia knew even a level-8 healer would fail.

For a second, Gwen was momentarily stunned. All her lost hope resurface and what mattered to her was just the survival of Robert.

"Please, I beg you. Save him. Please." Gwen's words were nearly audible due to her continuous weeping.

[Would you like to activate the blood ritual?]

[Yes]

After confirming he wanted to make Robert into a Blooded one, a new screen appeared in front of his face. One that had given him detailed instructions.

As soon as he had accepted to activate the skill of his blood ritual, Abraham's eyes started to glow. Faint red circles were seen around the iris. Similar to when he activated his Influence skill.

Right after, he started to follow the instructions one by one.

[Please proceed by inserting the Host's blood into the mouth of the target]

Using his blood energy, he gathered a drop of blood on the top of his index finger. Using his other hand, he open Robert's mouth and placed the drop of blood just above Robert's mouth, who was now barely breathing, and allowed the blood to drip in. Robert's fingers which were once unmoving now started to twitch, and a warm feeling started in his body.

Inside the blood cells from Abraham could be seen latching onto the blood cells of Robert's and slowly, they were all starting to change throughout his body. Strangely for a moment, Abraham could feel a connection with Robert and could see what was happening inside his body.

"Abraham this isn't enough, the transformation has only just begun, but he now needs the blood of the others to live." The System shouted.

Abraham knew this problem and that was why he shouted to the two people remaining.

"GWEN, MALIA, I need you two to give Robert some of your blood. Be quick if you wish for Robert to live."

The others did as instructed, and each one squeezed out the blood from a cut made from Malia's sword. Abraham knew that it was not enough, so he also squeezed some of the green blood from the one-spike and three-spike dalki.

Finally, Robert's body stopped twitching. All the wounds on the latter's body started to heal as his cells slowly patched them together. It was happening at a speed unseen of.

[The ritual was a success!]

[The human has successfully been blooded 1/2]

[A Vampire Ghoul has been created]

[A new family has been created]

[What would you like to name your family?]

"Now that you have turned someone, he falls under your ranks, he has your blood, so he is a part of your family. Every Vampire that turns someone has the responsibility to look after their family." The system explained.

"I choose my father's name Dracul". Abraham had already thought about what name he would select for his family. At first, he had a dilemma between the name Talen or Eno as that was already the family name of Abraham. But later in memory of his father, he decided to choose his name.

[Family name: Dracul]

Abraham checked on Robert using the Qi to confirm his condition. He even left some of his own Qi inside Robert's body to make the healing process quicker.

There was only something that was bugging Abraham. He didn't know what the effect of drinking dalki's blood during a blood ritual would do. In the original book, no such thing happened as there was more human present to give blood.

After the entire process was successful, he continued to find two people staring at him. Abraham knew that they had many questions but he wanted to wait until Robert would woke up to give the explanation only once.

***************************

Somewhere in an unknown place in a large room, there was a large rectangular table that stretched out far and wide. On the table, there was a total of thirteen seats, and each one had a person sitting in them, all apart from one.

It was a mixture of men and women, and they all looked all sorts of ages, but they all had one thing in common as they sat in their seats and that was their red-colored eyes.

Behind each of the seats was a single purple-colored flame just behind them up attached to the wall and behind the empty seat there was one that had been lit up as well.

A single man sat at the head of the table and started off the conversation.

"As you can all see, the flame has been lit above the 10th chair."

"Does that mean he's back? But I thought he had died" Chatter started amongst the twelve in the chairs until the head spoke once again.

"No, I believe he managed to somehow find someone before he left this world and they have officially blooded their first, creating a new family."

"But why now, it's been nearly a hundred years!" A female shouted

"I don't know but what I do know, is we must find this new family and bring them in as soon as possible. Make sure they uphold our laws and if not. We shall get rid of them all."
