For a giant, it was a chalice, but for Damian? It looked like a red ocean! He used his Telekineses to stay above the water, and as he looked at it, it seemed infinite.
The feeling of being an ant compared to that filled him, but the constant pain of his broken limbs helped his mind focus on the task in hand: unlock his bloodline.
"My ancestor said I should bath on this…"
Damian was uncertain if that would work, but it was not as if he had any other options. It had to be done. Also, the feeling of having that demon near him made him uneasy, so all Damian wanted was to get over with that and leave that place.
"Let's do it, Damian. How bad can it be?"
He kept using his Telekineses, moving his body inside the blood. With his legs broken, Damian wouldn't be able to swim, so his ability maintained his safety.
Nothing happened at first. The only part of his body that had yet to have contact with the blood was his head, and judging how nothing had occurred, he would have to fully submerge his body.
So Damian did. When his entire body was inside the blood, he felt a burst of energy swept across it. It was like a burning sensation at first, one that hurt his body.
He gritted his teeth, holding on to the pain, until it finally stopped, turning from pain to a pleasing sensation. Damian had never felt so relaxed in his entire life. It was the best feeling he ever had.
"Damian?" Aurora said.
The relaxing sensation was so great Damian did not even recall he was submerged in a pool of blood. He held his breath for a whooping one hour, as if it was nothing.
Aurora got worried after the first fifteen minute mark — it was common for super humans to can hold their breaths for a long time — but thirty minutes was too much!
She was about to go check on him, but then the blood pool got smaller, and smaller, like Damian was absorbing it.
"What the fuck?"
After five more minutes, the massive chalice had no blood on it anymore. Damian opened up his eyes after that, and smiled, reading the notification that popped before his eyes.
<Giant Bloodline Unlocked>
<Scanning Level… >
<Infant Stage Giant>
<+25 to All Attributes>
<+ Change Form>
Damian laughed out loud. "Only an Infant Stage Giant, but it is a start!"
It was just the start of his journey as a member of the giant race, but it was already incredible, adding up 25 points to all of his attributes!
His points more than doubled, so the difference Damian felt was extraordinary. "I can do anything!"
That was the feeling. Damian was fully healed, and full of energy once again.
"Did it work?" Aurora asked.
She did not know if it worked, but Damian was not hurt anymore, so the blood had helped him in healing, at least.
Damian looked at her and said nothing. It was better to show. He read his new ability, Change Form, and it was basically the giant transformation.
His body had increased in power, and it would keep increasing as his bloodline strengthened, but the transformation released all of his powers.
The Change Form had two stages: the first stage would only change his body to its actual form, making it bigger. The second stage would release all of his power, but it did not last forever, and Damian probably would have to rest for a while after using it.
He took out his clothes first, as they would surely get destroyed by the transformation.
"Nothing that I did not see it," Aurora said, chuckling.
After that, Damian used the first stage. His body increased in size, changing from his 1,85 cm of height to an extraordinary 12 meters! He looked like a small building, and his body became more muscular too, to follow the increase in size.
"Wow! You look scary," she said.
Damian looked down and noticed his penis was not there. Not because it did not exist in that form, but because it was hidden, only appearing when Giants were to have sex.
"A huge thing swinging around is not optimal for combat," Damian thought.
It was a good thing it was hidden, as that could traumatize anyone who saw it…
Anyway, Damian tested using his ability while in giant form, and it worked just fine. It was a funny sight to see a giant flying around, but the most optimal way to move was using his body.
He also punched, kicked, and moved his body around, feeling it, adjusting to it, and getting familiar with it.
After doing that, he returned to his tiny body, put his clothes back on, and said, "now let's get out of this place."
They could still hear the cursing and the hits the demon did on the door as Damian and Aurora left that room, going upstairs to the throne room again.
Each time Damian passed through one door, he would close it using his bloodline, strengthening the door. That demon would eventually escape, but Damian wanted to make sure it would stay inside as long as possible.
After reaching the throne room, they left the palace, returning to that underground city in ruins. But when Damian gazed at the exit, the only tunnel one could take to leave that place, he saw people wearing similar outfits to Rubber and Salamander.
"More friends of those two!" Damian said, pointing at them.
"Can we escape stealthily?" Aurora asked.
Damian was sure it could work, especially when using his Telekineses and invisibility, but before he could do anything, an attack came from behind one of the ruined houses.
A blue energy arrow. Aurora did not have the reaction time to avoid it, but Damian did after his attributes increased. He grabbed her by the waist and jumped to the side, avoiding the attack completely.
But the arrow did not stop, piercing through a few houses, destroying what was left of them.
"Oh, you dodged? Impressive."
A female voice came from behind the house, and soon he saw a woman wearing a black leather armor, a cloak, and a mask, looking like an assassin.
There was no way of escaping. Damian and Aurora would have to fight.
"Now I will see if this bloodline is good or not," Damian thought.
