Chapter 2544 Golden Blood
"No, wait..." Rean thought of something. "You said it helped to unseal your bloodline even more, right? Did it increase your strength?"
Kentucky nodded as he puffed his chest, feeling proud. "It was very good. It is now almost completely free from the seal."
*Swish!*
*Ouch!*
Yet, it was at this moment that Rean used his Black Star Sword to create a deep cut in one of Kentucky's legs.
"What are you doing? Even if you are angry that I ate those things, you don't need to attack me." Kentucky quickly retreated, preparing to use Rean's Instant Recovery.
"Don't heal yourself," Rean stopped him, though. "Focus your mind on your bloodline, and let me have some of it. Since those Mirror Globes helped your sealed bloodline, it is possible that some of their remaining power is still present in your body. I want to try to use it in the device."
Kentucky was taken aback. "But... the real bloodline is different from just normal blood. If I give you enough to fill those slots... It will take months until my body recovers."
Rean pointed his Dark Star at Kentucky. "That's your fault for eating anything you see ahead of you. Besides, are you going to let senior Lotar just die while battling that Light and Dark Beast? It's not coming after our head because of his help... Well, he is doing it for Iolanda, but we are also benefiting."
Kentucky dropped his head for a moment and finally nodded. "Fine! But my strength will fall to the level of a normal Initial Stage Space-Time Realm expert. I won't be able to fly faster than you either."
"That's not a problem," Rean could deal with that. "If it doesn't work, we will sound the retreat signal. Not to mention, we can indeed leave any time we want through the altars. It is worth a try."
Kentucky heard that and then concentrated. Soon after, the red blood coming out of the cut changed into a golden color. It continued to flow out until there was enough of it to fill one of the slots.
Iolanda and the other Shadow Ferals looked at that and gulped. They all felt a huge Bloodline Power coming from that blood, showing that it was at a higher level than even Iolanda's bloodline as a queen. 'Shadow Ferals are Divine Angel Beasts, just like Minokawas are Divine Demon Beasts. My bloodline, specifically, should have been at the same level as Kentucky's... so how come I'm feeling pressured by it?' Iolanda couldn't help but think. 'Could it be...' and a theory popped into her mind.
"Try it now," said Kentucky, using his Divine Energy to stop the flow. "This is enough for one of those six slots. If it doesn't work like it did with the cubes, then there is no need for me to take out more to fill the other fine slots. Also, give it back to me since I can reabsorb the blood."
Rean didn't waste time and used his own Divine Energy to grab the golden-colored blood. He shaped it into a sphere form, matching the circumference of the slots on the device, hardening it right after. Finally, Rean took a deep breath and put that sphere inside one of the slots.
During the first few seconds, nothing happened, so everyone thought it was a failure. However...
*Zuuuuu...*
Although it took longer, the device activated, dragging that golden sphere down. Soon after, the equipment connected to that slot inside of the barrier turned all, causing the barrier to grow fainter once again. "It works!"
Everyone was happy to see that... except Kentucky, obviously. Yet, there was no coming back anymore. Kentucky kept making his Regal Minokawa Bloodline flow while Rean shaped it into a sphere before hardening it. To make sure it wasn't a waste, Kentucky only gave enough for a single sphere each time, hoping the next ones wouldn't work.
Too bad, though. It was obvious that a good deal of the Mirror Globes' Power was still present in Kentucky's bloodline, so the device accepted each sphere without complaining. As he did that, Rean also commented. "You weren't kidding about the seal. I can barely feel any sealing runes anymore."
Kentucky, who seemed somewhat tired, agreed with him. "Yes... it is almost there..."
Iolanda then touched Rean's shoulder and sent a Divine Sense Message to him. 'Is that a Regal Bloodline?'
Rean looked at her in surprise. 'Is that obvious?'
'Pretty much,' Iolanda nodded. 'I'm a Divine Angel Beast and the queen on top of that, but even I feel pressured by Kentucky's bloodline.'
'I see...' Rean smiled in response. Her words confirmed one thing. Kentucky had been suppressing his own Regal Bloodline to not catch anyone's attention, making them feel he was just a normal Minokawa. The fact Iolanda was only able to notice the difference after the bloodline came out is proof that Kentucky's Bloodline hiding abilities are working very well.
There were only two slots remaining, and Kentucky was just about to bring more of his bloodline out. However, Iolanda's expression changed as she warned the group. "Everyone, be careful!"
*Boom!*
The building shook as something hit its wall with immense strength. The things inside the barrier were still completely intact, having been saved by the barrier itself. However, the walls at the entrance of the building collapsed as a huge Light and Dark Beast appeared outside, far in the distance.
As everyone looked at it, they saw Lotar and the Fragment's Beast fighting, but the beast seemed to be throwing caution to the wind and ignored Lotar's assault as it forced its way in their direction. The attack a moment ago was obviously sent by the beast, which it paid with Lotar's own attack, hitting its body before crashing into the ground.
Iolanda looked at Kentucky with urgency. "Lotar just sent me a message saying that the entity is doing everything to come and stop us."
Rean and Kentucky didn't need to hear that to see it. "Kentucky, more bloodline, quickly!"
"Shit!" Kentucky cursed out loud but didn't hold back, making a fountain of golden blood leave his body.
