Chapter 701: Bloodline

Day 37 of the Magus Academy's third year.

The warm brilliance emanated by the sun had been shifted away by time, and darkness took over the azure expanse as night draped down its veil.

At this point, Emery has spent the last 48 hours immersed in training, which were supervised by the privileged class' staff as well as Cedric, who has been asked to keep a close eye on his condition and prevent any possible complications from occurring.

These people were also tasked to find out exactly about his bloodline limitation and how effective the treatment registered to him would be.

While those people paced back and forth as they went about their duties, Emery was completely submerged in what he was currently doing. At the moment, he was using one of the indoor practice rooms available and fighting against multiple golems at the same time.

A construct made of metals prepared as a facility for the privilege class.

As if that wasn't impressive and bad enough for his current condition, those golems were designed to have the ability of a saint level warrior – a rank 9 combat acolyte.

Facing these golems, Emery naturally couldn't afford to pull his punches,and hence he was in his most optimal peak strength with his [Immortal Gate] activated to its maximum. Thanks to it, he was able to fight on par with five of these humanoid golems.

Sweat started to drench his body, causing his clothes to stick on his skin. At this moment, the five combat golems retreated a few steps back, seemingly in preparation of countering the next move he was about to throw.

Realizing this opportunity, Emery retreated a distance away as well for what he was about to do needed time to take effect.

"Now is the time!"

Aargggghhh!!

[Fey Transformation]

Following the command words that echoed in his mind, silvery furs started to emerge on his two hands and feets. A distinct familiar tattoo appeared on his body while his nails rapidly turning into sharp claws.

Immediately after, when Emery was done stabilizing his transformation, a notification popped into his mind.

[Battle power increased by 10 points]

[Battle power 148 (190)]

Emery's grand total of 190 battle power stemmed from the additional 32 points coming from [Immortal Gate] and 10 points from his [Fey Transformation] ability. With this setup, his figure immediately shot forward and restarted the battle between the five combat golems, fighting them in wild ferocious manner.

Currently, Emery was fighting the golems without wielding any weapon. However, instead of being overwhelmed as expected, he managed to handle and overpowered them instead.

Thinking that the current situation was not enough, Emery slowed down his attacks for a moment as he focused his attention onto his spirit core. Urging the spirit energy residing within, he channeled it into his throat and used [Battle Howl].

HOWL!!

[Battle power increased by 10 points]

[Battle power 148 (200)]

As the skill took effect and boosted Emery's strength even further, the fate of the combat golems were already established. If 190 battle power allowed Emery to have the upper hand throughout the fight, 200 battle power granted him the ability to basically steamroll over his opponents, as evidenced by the sight of him battering the golems one by one.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Loud dull sounds resounded in the air continuously as Emery gave the lifeless combat golems the beating of their existences. His figure could be seen flickering back and forth as he fought against 5 opponents equivalent to saint level warriors – figures with similar strength to the captain knight of Lord Izta's army.

It didn't take long before all the noises ceased to exist and silence returned to the room. Emery stood there with his back completely drenched with sweat, while the combat golems were all lying on the ground in critical condition.

Now that his body was fully warmed up, Emery turned his gaze toward the group of people that had been watching him and nodded his head, giving them the sign they had been waiting for.

Immediately after, two doors in front of him opened. From inside, 10 combat golems walked out and proceeded to surround him. It was clear that this was a one against ten situation, but Emery didn't even frown. Instead, a faint excited smile could be seen on his face.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The moment he made his move, the combat golems also did the same, causing explosive sounds to be heard throughout the room.

Soon, Emery found himself overwhelmed by his opponents. He had a hard time weaving through and countering the attacks the golems threw at him, while they continuously dealt blow after blow to his body.

From the sides, the staff and Cedric were watching anxiously as Emery struggled against the 10 combat golems. They were anxious wasn't because of how difficult the fight was, but because of what might happen after.

After 11 minutes of persistent struggling and one-sided beatdown, Emery suddenly let out a beastly scream. Once again, he could feel the corruption lodged within him churning and boiling into his blood.

"Here it comes!" Cedric shouted as he quickly asked the staff to start operating the set up and displayed a holographic screen in front of them.

While the staff were busy with their tasks, Emery's silvery furs began turning into pitch black color rapidly. His expression became twisted with rage, and a notification appeared in his mind.

[Battle power increase by 40 points]

[Battle power 148 (240)]

The additional boost of 40 battle power points literally turned Emery into a personification of unstoppable as each of the attacks he threw would send parts of the golems flying away. The feeling of being overwhelmed was gone as he easily dodged any attack his opponents sent.

The group of observers also saw there was some kind of sudden, swift movement that was almost not be noticed by them if it wasn't for the devices operating in the background, recording and analyzing everything Emery did.

Within three short minutes, the precarious situation Emery was in had been overturned and all the golems were already broken down, dismantled into pieces by force.

With nothing else to fight, Emery who was standing alone in the room turned his eyes at where the group was. Noticing that, Cedric started trying to bring him back.

"Emery, take control of yourself!"

Three times Cedric tried to call him, but Emery didn't seem to awaken and decided to charge in his direction instead.

It was at this moment that two of the staff raised something they had prepared for a situation like this. A gun that could shoot a syringe contained certain substances, two such projectiles were fired and landed right at Emery's chest.

The effect took effect almost immediately as Emery's feet staggered backwards and stopped in its tracks. The wild expression on his face began to subside as he calmed down, and a minute later, he returned to his human form.

Cedric together with some of the staff quickly approached Emery to check his condition. As he got closer, he could see that Emery was trembling and murmuring something.

"I still failed.. again…"

Cedric put his hands onto the trembling shoulders and said, "It's alright, Emery. You managed to hold on past the 10 minute mark now, that's a great improvement already."

Emery turned to Cedric and could see the sincerity in his eyes. He nodded his head and vowed to be better at the next test.

While Cedric and the staff calculated and compared the data they got, Emery took an hour to rest before he went and saw the result he achieved. He subconsciously let out a sigh as he read his bloodline data.

[Bloodline Gene – Fey Wolf]

[Gene Classification – Legendary Bloodline]

[Bloodline Limit: Rank 6]

[Current Rank – Rank 4 – The Fey Shaman]

[Fey wolf gene essence – 32%]

[Night wolf gene essence – 4%]

The added data of the night wolf gene was emerging slowly for the last 48 hours until it fully stopped a few hours ago.

It can be safe to say that this new gene was the reason for his bloodline trouble, and after multiple treatments, Emery only managed to remain in his first transformation form for 10 minutes before the Night Wolf gene emerged and eventually took over.

This result was already with the help of wearing his [Beast Pendant]; if not, Emery was only able to stay half of that duration.

Fortunately, Master Grom's team has prepared the cure that is able to suppress the bloodline whenever it resurfaces and he lost his sense of self again.

It was unfortunate that Emery wouldn't be able to use his shaman form until he had somehow solved this dilemma of his. But on the other hand, he could only be grateful that he could still use his transformation ability, even if it was just the stage one.

At this moment, the symbol on his palm suddenly brightened and a message appeared in his mind. Emery's eyes turned serious as he read it.

[Come to the academy at this designated time]

It was a short message that came from Kadek, the Magus Alliance's Magistrate.

It seems his mission will start really soon.
