Chapter 397 - Volume 3
Chapter 176 – Ancestral Citizen
Brendel’s body was remade whole by the Blood of Gods.
Calling him an Acolyte was not exactly wrong, but the Dragon of Darkness’s gift to him was a single drop of blood that completely usurped the energy from the Blood of Gods.
An ancient signal seemed to have awakened something inside the youth’s soul. He felt as though his mental strength and willpower grow stronger a hundredfold, and the ‘weak’ corruption from the Blood of Gods was completely washed away.
It was an evolution of his bloodline.
He now had the ability to regenerate quickly and replenish his lifeforce, which meant that he could recover from injuries ten times faster than before. Even Scarlett’s healing factor was not as good as his, though it was not surprising to the youth since the quality of Andesha’s Blood of Gods was higher.
There was also a new description in his stats window. It was the ‘Darkness’ trait, a rough equivalent of possessing the Darkness Element Power; he had the capability of manipulating the Darkness Element.
This trait was mostly used by Necromancers and Dark Priests’ skillsets. Currently, Brendel was only able to add it into his attacks. Although it might seem like it sounded weak to anyone else, he knew it was actually a great advantage because it was an attribute that bypassed physical defense.
Once he got a stable foothold, he lent a hand to Scarlett who was climbing below him, helping her up onto the flat ledge above him. Faena was next, while Morpheus assisted the injured Veronica in the same way the youth did.
Finally, Brendel made his way up onto the ledge.
“The wind here is almost unbearable. This must be the area where the Loop of Trade Winds really happens. It is said that no one can go through these walls of violent winds.”
Veronica supported herself by leaning against her sword, which was returned to her by Brendel after she woke up: “What is your plan from now onwards, boy?”
