[Synthesis Complete]

[New Bloodline has been initiated]

...

[Bloodline Synthesis System]

[Current Target: Adrean Xilos]

[Current Bloodline: New! Unknown...]

[Incitation Progress: 0.0119%____________]

[Bloodline Abilities: Starless Movements, Lightning Incarnate, Reverend Lightning, Lightning Grimoire]

[Re-Synthesize Bloodline] [!Upgrade Bloodline!] [Remove Bloodline]

...

Adrien fell asleep when he finalized the synthesis. When he woke up he saw all the Lightning Elementium particles rapidly dash toward him.

Seeing elementium particles through the naked eye was clearly not possible. There are other means but sensing them during meditation was the most basic method.

However, Adrien at this moment could clearly feel and see Lightning Elementium particles, but only lightning. The amount of Lightning Elementium Particles in this area was more than in any other area due to him traveling in the Bio-AirShip.

Without him doing anything, the Lightning Elementium Particles were throwing themselves onto him like the maniac fan-women would pounce on a handsome artist in his previous life.

However, his whole body was not absorbing Lightning Elementium particles, but a specific area on his chest. When Adrien removed his black t-shirt, he discovered the reason he was absorbing Lightning Elementium particles so rapidly. A blue lightning crystal in a 'V' shape was slowly growing out of his center chest bone.

This crystal was something he drew on the lightning lifeform's chest during synthesis. Never did he expect that it would have such an effect.

Watching those Lightning Elementium Particles, Adrien wondered, just where do these particles come from? Everything else apart from these particles was the same as on earth without technological advancement.

Adrien did not yet have an answer to his question but wrote it down in order to find an answer later.

Another thing he noticed was the black lightning patterns on his body. They didn't cover his whole body, just here and there, specifically around his joints. In a strange way, whenever Adrien wanted to move fast, the patterns would light up with blackish-blue lightning, because within a certain range, he could move instantly. The only problem was that the room was small.

Adrien moved quickly from one place to another in the small room, but he was so fast that he did not recognize how he moved.

The only negative aspect of [Starless Steps] is that after using the ability, he will not be able to use it until he recovers the lightning particles stored. He would simply burn up all the lightning stored in his body patterns.

Adrien felt, at one point, that if not for the 'V'-shaped crystals and the dense Lightning Elementium Particles in the surrounding area, even ten seconds would not be enough.

Although he had yet to learn any spells, Adrien's knowledge of this ability already set him above his peers.

Warlock was a revered profession even with its limitations largely due to the potential a bloodline gave making bloodline transfer methods coveted around the universe. So, Adrien had more reasons not to show his abilities without being confident in his ability to conceal them.

Unless someone tests his body they won't be able to find out if he had a bloodline. After all, a bloodline's power never resides in one place, so giving someone some blood won't harm him at all.

During bloodline transfer, the donor or more accurately the owner of the bloodline would be sucked dry. Only then could the transfer of bloodlines be said to be complete. In almost all cases, bloodline transfer techniques are accompanied by a change in temperament in the recipient, but the yearning never fades for those like adepts.

So, warlocks are difficult opponents, but people looking for a suitable bloodline will do anything to get their hands on it, to the point of using shameless spam tactics.

Finally, Adrien used his last ability [Lightning Grimoire]. When he used this ability of his, a thick book grey in color covered in lightning patterns appeared, floating quietly in front of him.

Adrien opened the cover to find only three pages and to his amazement, the first page already had a spell.

On the left page, there was some kind of diagram with crisscross lines and on the right page were details of the spell.

...

[Last Hit]

[Element Type: First Lightning]

[Ignores target's defenses three times until hit.]

[Usage: 3/3]

...

"..." Seeing the description Adrien felt speechless. Even though the spell was not outright omnipotent, it seemed powerful in its own right.

In the event that one could not locate the opponent, who would the spell target? In fact, it might even be limited in how powerful a defense it can directly penetrate. If not, can't he simply raise his finger and kill an Adept?

Every spell has some limitations and weaknesses, but [Spell: Last Hit] looks powerful.

Adrien felt a powerful spell would be one that could directly attack the opponent without even having to penetrate any defense! Simple, shoot and kill. Point south and kill north.

Adrien was busy daydreaming when he felt the walls of the room quiver. The whole room shook a few times and everything returned to normal.

Exactly an hour later, a passage of his size opened up on the round wall. After wearing his clothes Adrien walked out of the spherical ball-like room. Soon, the passage in front of the spherical room was covered with black-clad youths.

Slowly everyone walked out of the hemispheric Bio-AirShip, but this time instead of a castle there stood a city.

The whole city was surrounded by six or so meter tall walls and from behind the walls, a couple dozen meter tall tower was peeking out.

Adrien didn't feel anything when he saw the tall tower, but everyone else was startled. He had seen tall towers in his previous life, hell, he lived in one.

Soon, they saw the old man again. No one knew his name. All they knew was that he was one of the servants of the Xilos Family. Not like anyone cared. Similarly, the old man never bothered to introduce himself.

"We have reached our destination, Gracs City, and that tower there is Adept Sygnisia Xilos's tower, Sygnis Tower. It is up to you to inquire about what facilities are available. I would like to remind you that whenever you advance to the apprentice stage, you must notify your family via the tower. That's all for the reminder..." Saying his piece the old man walked back into the hemispheric Bio-AirShip leaving them standing in front of the city.

"So this is Sygnis Tower, the magical tower that we read about?" After saying that, like other youths that came with him, he moved into the city walking towards the tower.

Seeing the insignia of the Xilos Family and the fact that they exited from the Bio-AirShip, no one stopped them until they reached the tower...
