Chapter 22 - Collection...

Saquin stared gently at the delicate beauty in his arms.

[ Calculating rewards... ]

[ Unique Divine Trial Hidden Condition met. All Divine Participants were eliminated. ]

[ Universal Trial Hidden condition Lone Survivor, met. ]

"That bastard..." Saquin muttered as his eyes drifted to Greader's body.

Ruthless.

[ Rewards calculated. ]

[

Rewards:

- Senar awakening boosted by four advancement.

- One Supreme Ability.

- One Soul-Bound Item.

- Two Upgradeable Skills.

- Miscellaneous Knowledge.

]

[ Rewards are to be distributed in five minutes. ]

[ The Unique Divine Trial has been cleared, the Trial Location shall be closed in Six Minutes. ]

"Cool." Saquin briefed through the screen. "Hmm, I guess the Trial is finally done. It truly was..."

[ Challenging? ]

"... interesting. Interesting Miss Margaret."

[ Oh? You did not find it challenging? Your bleeding heart sure would disagree. ]

"Pretty sure it is doing fine." Saquin denied.

[ Just admit it kid, it was quite challenging. You almost died. ]

"That doesn't really mean anything when I still passed through it quite easily." Saquin retorted.

[ I won't quibble with you, little Abomination. Let us talk about what comes next. ]

"Hmm." Saquin nodded

[ First, you should know, you can not keep extracted Underessence on you for more than a few hours. Not to talk of the fact that you can't bring it out of the Underworld. ]

"So, I have to use it all here." Saquin took a deep breath. "Should I just absorb it all?"

[ No, don't worry about the Underessence. I will help you distribute it across your Cores. What you should be absorbing now is the Lifeessence. It is crucial to you. ]

"Okay Miss Margaret." Saquin readily agreed. Due to the constant hassle, he had not been opportunity to check out his new Cores. He would not be able upgrade the right things .

[ Absorb Lifeessence(3)?

{Yes} - {No} ]

"Yep."

As soon as Saquin said this, his eyes went wide as he felt his whole body grow lighter.

From what he is felt, he concluded that Lifeessence worked a bit differently from the Underessence.

Underessence is like an orb of energy injected into someone that can be used to strengthen the physical body and grant more stamina.

The Lifeessence on the other hand, felt like he was a computer who had just received an update.

He felt like each aspect of him had been refreshed and renovated. It was close to the feeling of advancing into Grade Zero.

His senses were sharper, his body stronger but also lighter. His assassin's instinct were better.

"Nice."

Saquin nodded to himself as he felt the changes.

[ I see that you are done. Now, to aid you, your Miss Margaret has gone ahead and help you with a list of your collection. Try to sort them out before your minutes are up. ]

A screen popped up in front of Saquin.

]

"Okay... That is a lot of stuff." Saquin looked through the list. What caught his attention most were of course, the Bloodlines.

"I should just start from the first, then into others."

[ Affinity-fragment: Metal. ]

"Do I absorb this or what?"

[ System Hint: Affinity-fragment are used to strengthen one's affinity. ]

"So, from this short explanation, I can deduced this thing is useless to me. I don't have a metal affinity."

"Next."

[ Unparalleled Martial Body {Supreme}: A supreme constitution that grants the subject a body tuned to the laws of all things Martial. You are a Martial genius unlike any other. ]

[ Would you like to assimilate the Special Constitution?

{Yes}-{No}]

"Assimilate? I guess so."

[ Note: The Divine Senar Aspirant, Saquin, already possess a Special Constitution, the Unliving Body. ]

[ Supreme Special Constitution, Unparalleled Martial Body, has begun assimilation process.

"Interesting..." Saquin read through the Note. "Why doesn't Constitution show in the status screen though? Next."

[ Heavenly Lightning {Supreme}: The bloodline that rumbles like the thunders up in the heavens, that runs through veins like electricity. You are blessed by the heavens to use the power of Lighting.]

"Hehe... The moment of truth." Saquin rubbed his hands together. He was quite expectant on getting something he did not have his hands on.

[ Do you want to Assimilate the Bloodline?

{Yes} - {No}]

"Yes, of course." Saquin answered enthusiastically.

[ Assimilation failed. ]

"Huh?"

[ Note 1: User possesses a Unique Bloodline. Only Unique Bloodline can be assimilated by the User.

Note 2: User can only possess four Bloodline in total. ]

"Fuck." Saquin cursed as he felt dejected. He had been looking forward to this since the moment he had first gotten it from the Lightning Grolly Bird.

"Tch, guess I have to settle for less. I am just glad I also have a Unique Bloodline at hand. "But what the hell would I use these Bloodline for?"

[ You can simply sell it in the normal world or it can be absorbed by your ability or Cores with relative ease as long as it has some compabilities. ]

"Oh, nice. Thanks Miss Margaret."

[ Seeker {Unique}: You are a seeker, and you will find what you will seek. May you have good luck and sheer will as your backup. ]

[ Do you want to Assimilate the Bloodline?

{Yes} - {No}]

"Yes." Saquin nodded.

[ Assimilation process has begun.

Time Left: 30 hours. ]

"Nice, another long period loader. On to abilities."

[ Flaming Gaze {Unique}: You have a gaze of Fire. Burn all enemies in your vision down to cinder. ]

"Having second thoughts about this one."

[ Just do it, your time is running up, child. ]

"Okay, give me the ability."

[ You have a new ability, Flaming Gaze {Unique}. ]

[ Warning: Supreme Ability, Dead Cold, is corrupting Unique Ability, Flaming Gaze. ]

[ Notification: Flaming Gaze has been permanently corrupted into Frozen Gaze. ]

[ Frozen Gaze: Your gaze is frozen, dead, So are your enemies. ]

"I had a feeling it would do that..." Saquin had a pleased smile. "And it did not disappoint."
