Cursed Weapon?!(2)

[If the host can't conduct [Blood Carnival] within the time limit, the host's blood will be sacrificed. The host will permanently lose significant HP...]

[20 hours, 32 minutes and 40 sec...]

"Huh?!..." 

Morsan looked stunned as he read the details in front of him.

The more he read the more absurd it seems for him. 

Some random thing suddenly showed up while he was sleeping, and gave him a cursed weapon and inventory. Now, the cursed weapon wants blood sacrifice due to the usage of its skill, worse, it didn't ask his permission to change his bloodline.

He continuously takes a deep breath to control his emotions.

'Calm down... CALM DOWN... I already got myself fucked without knowing. it's not a dream... the pain I experienced.. moment ago was freaking real... and I know I am not hallucinating... whatever happened happened... nothing going to change by my whining... Let's focus on what we have here... and what I can do from now on...'

After several minutes of deep breathing practice, he calmed himself more or less. He knows, that if he lets his emotions get the best of him, he will make a lot of mistakes that will lead him to his doom. 

The idea of asking for for help from the church crossed his mind but he gave up as soon as he thought clearly. It may be a heaven-given chance for him to grow stronger as a legendary hero or even more... He didn't want to lose his chance by thinking about his current situation. 

And he really can't tell, if the church can break his soul bound with a curse weapon or not. If the church can't purify his soul, it may backfire in an unexpected way which he can't afford to, especially in this situation.

'First, this [Bloodline Infusion] skill, did it fuse my two bloodline talents into one?! Warrior and barbarian into berserk seriously?... then where did my [Blood] affinity come from?!'

Morgan knew a lot of things about affinities since his father was a renowned adventurer, but he didn't hear of anything like [Blood Affinity]. 

He was so sure, that there is no affinity like [Blood Affinity] exists in this world. Although he hadn't tested his affinities, he could tell certainly, that it didn't belong to him.

There is only one possibility he could think of...

'Did I get this affinity from this damn cursed thing?! My new class is a [Blood Berserker]... did I lose my innate magic affinities?!... I need to test my affinities as soon as possible before I make further conclusions.'

'I get the feeling I can use [Blood Carnival] magic whenever I want!!.. It's almost like... I learned magic from a magic crystal ball!!..'

Magic is a power system that is deeply ingrained in this world's cultures. Magic Power is typically an invisible substance that only a few individuals like Morsan can perceive.

It's regulated by the amount of Magic Power and the level of skill possessed by the caster. The main types of magic casting are Ritual, Cooperative, Ceremonial, and Way of the Dragon Vein called Dragon Vein Law.

Morsan didn't test his magic affinity cause it would cost one silver coin for each person. Magic books were costly, even the low-level magic books cost almost 70 to 80 silver pieces.

Crystal balls were even more costly since anyone could learn magic just by releasing magic that was trapped inside them. 

The power of tiered magic from weakest to strongest is as follows:

First-class is the first-level spells typically seen in beginner spell books.

Zweite-class (Second class) is an Intermediate-level spell that is usually used by advanced spell casters.

Drifa-class (Third class) is the highest level of spell typically available to non-heroes. Casters that use these spells are typically extremely capable.

Monsters are occasionally called magic beasts due to their high affinity with magic.

The magic beasts with the highest magic affinity are commonly filial and Dragons.

'Come to think of it, this cursed weapon has three abilities named [Bleed], [Bloodline Infusion], and [Life Exchange]. All of them somehow related to blood... and this blood affinity... this weapon... It can modify my body to handle its power... without my permission?!'

'Then it can influence my mind too?!... No, I don't think so.. if it can influence my mind, I wouldn't be able to think to this extent... Its abilities must be related to bloodline and... vitality?! not quite right... this message told me if I can't conduct [Blood Carnival] magic, I will lose part of my HP permanently, it consumes not blood but a life force through the victim's blood?!'

A deep frown formed on his face as he thought more about it.

He takes a look at descriptions of [Bloodline Infusion] and [Life Exchange] ability.

[

[Bloodline Infusion]: Ability to infuse compatible traits from absorbed bloodline into the host. This ability needs a lot of blood as a sacrifice through [Blood Carnival].

[Life Exchange]: Passive ability to heal host's vitality, wound, MP, and stamina in exchange for absorbed blood of enemies.

'As far as I could tell, this [Bloodline Infusion] skill can devour the uniqueness of the victim's bloodline and fuse it with my bloodline. It can increase my stats and skills continuously as time goes on. Now I have the potential to grow exponentially stronger, depending on how I use [Bloodline Infusion] from here on out.'

'I am not going to murder people, the answer was simple, monsters roamed the wilds just outside the Kingdom of Melromarc. If I killed them, I could increase my number of skills and stats. With my stats where they were now and [Life Exchange] ability, I stood a good chance of defeating a whole pack of Usapils on my own.'

'Now I think about it, why should I have to conduct [Blood Carnival] magic?... this cursed sword can directly absorb and transfer the life force of enemies... It can absorb blood directly, right? Then why was it mentioned to perform [Blood Carnival]?!...'

He tried to see at his new magic skill if he missing any details.
