Chapter 297: Chapter 296: Super jealous

It took Lara, who was so focused that she totally ignored the conversation around her, only 10 minutes to reach the peak state of meditation, making her blood circulation go smoothly and evenly throughout her entire body.

Victor was surprised, Lara was more gifted than he expected. He was really curious about what result she would achieve in the ceremony… that’s if Rita managed to steal the artifact in the Von Zwei’s family palace. Getting that artifact was the reason Victor kept Rita’s card well hidden even in this turbulent time.

Victor sighed then focused on Lara again, it was about time.

She slowly opened her eyes and then carefully placed the pill in her mouth before continuing her practice.

Victor nodded as he watched while Hana and El who were standing to the side tensed up.

“Don’t worry, if anything bad happens, I can help Lara immediately!” Victor assured the little girl who nodded in response.

It didn’t take long for the pill to start working as Lara began to breathe roughly. Her depleted blood was at the moment getting replaced by a higher-ranked one. Her damaged bone marrow was getting rebuilt. And Victor knew that it was as painful as hell!

Lara didn’t speak nor make a sound as she bit her lip and continued to meditate. This was her only way to fight the pain and she instinctively knew that the moment she lost concentration, was the moment she would surely pass out.

Victor sighed as he began to carefully use his illusion skill to reduce the pain Lara was feeling. He didn’t stop it entirely as he didn’t want Lara to lose focus and this was a good chance to help her train her resolve. The pill was not harming her after all, but to rebuild something, you had to destroy the old and rotten.

“She looks like she is in pain…” Hana said in a worried voice. “I shouldn't have included the dragon scale in the formula… It is all your fault! The girl is barely hanging on!” she blamed Victor as El squeezed her little fist. A dragon? Would Lara turn into a dragon after this?

“Don’t worry…” Victor said, “The dragon scale came from our ancestor, so it is fully compatible with Lara… After this, she would be much stronger and this would help her immensely when she awakens her bloodline!” he explained. He took it from his ancestor's grave after all.

“Oh…” Hana frowned but said nothing.

Lara was not listening to Victor. She couldn't. The pain was so unbearable that she had to use every ounce of her strength to keep her focus… And she was feeling hot, burning hot!

She could feel it though, her blood, her bones, her flesh. Everything was burning as it got regenerated. She could feel the strange power that began surging through her. Slowly at first, then suddenly she felt her boiling blood turn ice cold in one swoop.

It was not easy to keep focus, but she miraculously did it. She could feel the explosive strength surge inside of her.

She wanted to tap into that power, but strangely enough, she couldn't. it was as if there was a locked door stopping her…

“Don’t worry about that for now…” She could suddenly hear Victor’s voice. He sounded shocked. “You are still too young to awaken your bloodline. Just focus on your breathing…” he said.

She wanted to ask him what he meant, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t move at all.

“Now focus… I will tell you what you want when it is time for it…” Victor who seemed to have read her mind said. “Now, the process is almost over. This last step will hurt… Be ready!” he said just as a great surge of pain assaulted Lara. Her body was no longer freezing, it was burning even hotter than before. The burning spread from the tips of her fingers and finally reached her heart. That was the last thing she felt before she passed out.

…

 

“Is she ok?” Hana said worriedly as she watched Victor kneel on Lara's side. Moments ago he jumped to the little girl’s side and put his hand on her back, and then she screamed and passed out.

“The stupid girl had exceeded all my expectations! She not only upgraded her bloodline, but she was also about to unlock it!” Victor said as El to the side wanted to help, but quickly hissed and drew her hand away after realizing that Lara’s body was scalding hot. If the clothes on her body were not made from a special material, they would have been burnt long ago.

“What? Upgraded? Really?” Hana was very pleased with herself, she made the pill after all. “Wait, Isn’t awakening bloodline a good thing? Why did you stop her?” Hana asked.

“She didn’t have sufficient energy, if she forced it she would have died. And by suppressing the awakening, the excess energy of the pill would be used to strengthen her body which is something she needed… And this is better too, I plan to upgrade her bloodline again using another method!” He explained with an ambitious look as he carefully carried Lara ignoring the flames around his hands, then slowly dropped her in the bathtub.

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS……

Clouds of vapor rose immediately as the little girl's temperature got forcibly lowered. It was as if a sword was getting squished.

“Don’t worry, she will be fine…” Victor told the worried El. Then sighed and took a pill and pushed it into her pouting mouth moments later.

“Ah…” she was shocked as the pill immediately melted in her mouth, moments later, the burning sensation in her hand disappeared. She had hurt herself earlier when she touched Lara.

“Next time you hurt yourself, tell me!” he scolded El then looked back at his sister whose pale skin began to cool down and turn healthy as it absorbed the precious materials in the herbal bath… Her hair had already begun to change color to another shade of more saturated purple. “The procedure was a success!” He said with a smile as he looked at Lara's status.
