[ 'Dragon Blood' is being suppressed by 'Bloodline Burning Curse'... ]

'That's also useless as I expected…'

It wasn't like I hadn't thought about using 'Dragon Blood' and trying to see its effects, but it was just that I expected it to more or less be as useless as 'Dragon Scales'...

However, unexpectedly enough...

[ 'Pseudo Sky Dragon' (Blood Companion) has taken control of 'Dragon Blood'... ]

[ 'Pseudo Sky Dragon' (Blood Companion) has forcefully activated the hidden attribute of 'Dragon Blood' through blood connection, 'Dragon Domination'! ]

"ROAAAARRRRRR!"

As the dragon's roar could be heard once again, I was suddenly overwhelmed by a certain feeling…

"ROAAAARRRRRR!"

Finding myself mimicking the dragon cry, I experienced something that felt so magical yet so realistic…

The seething burn feelings that almost made me insane started fading, as I could almost swear that someone must have put me in a nice chilling cold shower as that was exactly what it felt like…

[ 'Dragon Blood Domination' has managed to eliminate the 'Bloodline Burning Curse' (Unique)… ]

[ Your body's vitality has been largely consumed in the curse elimination process… ]

After grasping the almost heavenly feeling and having my rationality return back, the world around me had already turned hazy and black as I experienced a blackout for the first time in a while…

`~~`~~`~~`

'...Another memory recap…?'

Having suddenly woke up from what seemed to be another long dream which felt like it lasted for several years, I was once again perplexed at how often this happened to me, though this time was quite different than the first two…

The reason was that while I had a human point of view in both last strange memory synchronization, this dream was actually observed from a... dragon's point of view…

Of course, I couldn't really remember much of this dream at this point, but I had hazy views and some realizations that seemed to have went deeply into hiding somewhere in my brain, the only thing I was sure of was that I did spend a long time in this dream, it felt like a dream that lasted for a whole life time…

'Wait!'

Remembering that the time left for the acceptance ceremony was only less than 9 days and not knowing for exactly how long I slept, I disregarded the incomprehensible dream for now as I checked the status panel for the time.

'Phew…'

Finding that only 4 days seemed to have passed, I let out a breath of relief as I started inspecting the system notifs that I received in my collapse…

[ Your body's vitality has been largely consumed in the curse elimination process… ]

[ Your Constitution has dropped by 1.5 points due to the remnant damage caused by the 'Bloodline Burning Curse'... ]

[ Your Strength has dropped by 1 points due to the remnant damage caused by the 'Bloodline Burning Curse'... ]

[ Due to the Interference of 'Pseudo Sky Dragon' (Blood Companion), you have received the semi-inheritance of 'Dragon Blood'! ]

[ You have Obtained the dragons' sub-ability, 'Dragon Aura'! ]

[ The 'Curse Domination' branch of the dragons' sub-ability, 'Dragon Aura' has been unlocked due to the user's exposition to 'Bloodline Burning Curse'! ]

'That was somewhat expected…'

After slightly remembering the amount of pain my body had gone through, which I tried to forget again as soon as I remembered it, I actually felt that it was better that the only damage that happened anyway…

'At least, I got something out of it…'

[ 'Dragon Aura'

Description: A natural ability of the dragon race that is said to be their sign that marks them as the top dominators of the whole food chain in the 'Lost Realm'.

+ 'Dragon Domination'

= Suppresses all possible harmful 'Special Abilities' that are targeted at the user to a certain limit, also acts as an intimidation factor when mildly activated.

Current Developed branches:

'Curse Elimination' - Eliminates Curses of harmful nature. ]

As I checked the actual use of the new ability that I somehow gained from this ordeal, I actually felt that it was more like a blessing in disguise. Sure, I did lose some stat points for that…

However, the fact that not only did I obtain an ability that would be able to save me from similar future situation that was limited to just that, but I also was bound to get compensated as soon as I shut off this base according to my current main quest, made it feel like it was absolutely worth the trouble!

If this ability did justice to even half of what it said, then that meant that even creepy witchcraft would no longer be an obstacle in my path!

'That being said, it was a really close call this time…'

I never imagined that I would be up against such a strange ability that almost ended my life both in the game and in reality, I did know that demons had strange variants of abilities such as the Sword Demon's Demonic Sword Ki, but the curse arts of that Shaman was really something else…

The only difference 'Demonic Weapon Ki' had when compared to normal 'Weapon Ki' was that it didn't have the same system, there was no tiers or energy cores, their demon blood acted as the container instead, and their strength increased as their blood and demonic weapons became more refined…

However, the Curse arts of the Shaman was something that seemed to defy certain laws, using the death and demon blood of both the Shaman and the General to achieve the feat, which I couldn't somewhat link it to a similar variant of a human power 'It's possible that it's… Oh right!'

Just when I was about to get more engrossed into thinking about an explanation, I was reminded that it wasn't the time for this just yet…

The whole ordeal that took place after almost a fully smooth ride through the demon base had me forget about everything for a second as I tried to understand what had possibly gone wrong this time, but remembering that everything wasn't done yet, I opened my eyes that I closed for the moment of contemplation that I had gone through as I scanned my surrounding...
