Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Talent Fusion—Night Demon
[Name]Cain Bloodline (Blue)
[Type]Main/Passive Talent
[Introduction]
Passive: As the mysterious Cain Bloodline, the ancient and enigmatic vampire blood within you grants you physical qualities far beyond the average person and an extraordinary affinity for darkness. In the dark, your vision, hearing, and smell are enhanced in all aspects. You can absorb power from blood to heal yourself or strengthen your body, and you can also transfer your internal blood poison to others, converting them into bloodline descendants;
Active:
1. Bat Wings: Unfurl black bat wings, increasing speed by 100%.
2. Bat Transformation: Transform into a multitude of bats, hiding your true form among them.
"Truly befitting of a bloodline capped by Holy Blood, just the introduction is significantly longer than other blue talents," Qin Tian remarked.
Among blue talents, some introductions are just a single sentence, while others span several lines.
The Cain Bloodline at the Viscount level enhances physical attributes comprehensively, strengthens dark affinity, removes the Baron-level weakness of sunlight aversion, and adds two active abilities
Bat Wings and Bat Transformation
Bat Wings allow him to master the ability of flight
Even many Spiritualists at Tier Five cannot fly independently
This demonstrates how precious this ability is, adding numerous variables in both offense and escape.
Bat Transformation is a life-preserving type of talent, and if Klaus had not been injured and exposed due to blood loss, it would have been impossible to distinguish which was Klaus’s true form.
With both talents combined, his escape abilities are maximized.
However, despite the value of the Viscount level bloodline, Qin Tian had reservations about it.
Among the Nine Great Holy Bloods, the Vladimir Clan has the worst reputation.
Bloodthirsty by nature, vampires frequently cause malicious incidents. The contagious mechanism of blood poison places enormous pressure on ordinary civilians, Spiritualists, and higher-ups alike.
Outside the Blood Star Realm, vampires are universally reviled, and many important places are equipped with vampire-detecting devices to prevent danger and disturbances.
Therefore, if the Cain Bloodline were exposed, everyone would view him with prejudice, making it impossible to advance in school or the Military Department.
Thinking of this, Qin Tian made a decision —
Talent Fusion
Several of his talents were highly compatible with Cain Bloodline.
For example, Shadowbone Physique, Shadow Jump, Blood Tracking, and Thermosense Control
All these are related to darkness, blood, and stealth.
It would be best if the characteristics of a few talents could be preserved after fusion, and if any were lost, he could simply find them again.
After all, Shadow Feline people, Bloodthirsty Mosquito, and Snake-man are not rare species.
Putting thoughts into action
Qin Tian mobilized the four major talents, moving towards Cain Bloodline. Soon, at the edges where they intersected, the system sent a prompt.
"Do you wish to fuse the five major talents: Cain Bloodline, Shadowbone Physique, Shadow Jump, Blood Tracking, and Thermosense Control? The system warns that talent fusion carries uncertainty. Please proceed with caution, as the fusion will be irreversible."
"Confirmed!" Qin Tian nodded.
At his command, the three blue and two green light spheres accelerated in fusion, with the color in the intersection deepening, although not yet reaching purple.
"Fusing a purple talent is really difficult~"
Qin Tian sighed. Cain Bloodline, Shadowbone Physique, and Shadow Jump are all deep blue, but even so, they seemed far from reaching purple post-fusion.
Nevertheless, Qin Tian believed that the higher the difficulty, the stronger the fused talent would be.
If natural fusion wasn’t enough to achieve purple, he’d add more efforts.
By slaying six vampires, he earned over 40,000 Evolution Points, with Klaus alone contributing 22,000.
Now, he had sufficient Evolution Points to spend freely.
Not waiting for the talent fusion to complete, Qin Tian directly invested 15,000 Evolution Points.
The input of Evolution Points sped up the fusion of the five light spheres. Shortly, a hint of purple light quietly appeared, quickly filling the whole sphere.
[Name]Night Demon (Purple)
[Type]Main/Passive Talent
[Introduction]You are the favorite of the night, the master of blood control. With Night Demon’s blood awakened in your body, you undergo incredible changes, with significant enhancements in all faculties. Darkness and shadows are yours to traverse at will. When in darkness, all attributes increase by 30%, and your presence is greatly concealed; you can freely change your body temperature to merge with the surrounding environment, perceive all heat sources and blood flow within a certain range, and enter an excited state when tracking blood sources, increasing speed by 50%.
Active:
1. Apostle Transformation: You can transform others into Night Demon Apostles through infection.
2. Night Demon Wings: Unfurl Night Demon Wings, increasing speed by 200%.
3. Night Demon Avatar: Form avatars of different shapes, hiding your true self among them.
Cold power coursed through his body, as strands of black aura enveloped him.
Qin Tian gritted his teeth as every inch of his skin felt pierced by countless steel needles, the biting cold and bone-gnawing pain entwined, attempting to shatter his will.
The black aura seemed alive, drilling in through his pores. With each increment, his body experienced an indescribable change, as if countless tiny bugs crawled and nibbled between muscle and bone.
His bones emitted loud popping sounds, as if protesting against this forcible restructuring.
The originally regular bone textures were visibly twisting and deforming, becoming denser and covered with peculiar patterns that faintly glowed like ancient mysterious runes, embodying the power codes of the Night Demon race.
Eyes opened slowly amidst pain, now entirely pitch black without any whites, like endless black holes capable of devouring all light.
Fangs erupted piercing through gums, sharp and coldly gleaming.
The skin on his back began to writhe, as if something were breaking through, followed by a sudden expansion of a pair of massive black wings, fully occupying the space behind him.
With a flap of the black wings, powerful airflows swept all around, scattering sand and stones picked up by the violent winds, and making tree branches sway wildly, producing creaky sounds as leaves fell in abundance.
"Night Demon, I like this name."
Qin Tian’s gaze was deep, the awakening of the Barbaric Dominator Body offered him a sense of overwhelming and vigorous power, whereas the awakening of the Night Demon Body made him feel unparalleled lightness.
His body seemed relieved of a thousand-pound weight, muscles brimming with terrifying explosive power, and capacities such as vision, smell, hearing, and blood perception elevated once again.
He could now seamlessly submerge into darkness, appearing at any location within a certain distance.
The fusion was immensely successful, as he hoped, retaining all the benefits of the five main talents while effectively avoiding the risks inherent to the bloodline.
Though the Night Demon and bloodline share many similarities in appearance and capabilities, they are, after all, two distinct bloodlines, and anyone with discerning eyes could discern their differences.
"Time to return."
Qin Tian grabbed the corpse from the ground, and suddenly, a yellow object dropped to the ground.
He picked it up, finding a yellow piece of amber about the size of a palm, within which lay a golden-red substance.
In an instant, Qin Tian felt a strong desire surging from within, as if the substance within the amber held an irresistible attraction for him.
"Not bad, a great find."
Qin Tian put the amber into his Spatial Bag, intending to study it later.
Whoosh~~
With a vibration of his wings, Qin Tian soared back in the direction from which he came.
Considering the time, the other three should be awakening soon, too.
