16 Awakening of the bloodline
Elliott pierced the forehead of a red salamander with his sword and said.
"Devour."
Crunch!
The sword began to suck blood at a rapid rate. He had done it so many times that he had grown accustomed to the sensation. Thanks to his increased skill, his extraction speed had increased since he killed the spiders. At last, the moment Elliott had been anxiously waiting for had arrived.
[You have killed the red-scaled salamander.]
[Number of hunted monsters: 1000]
[The maximum requirements for your Mission have been met.]
It didn't take him long to sweep through the spider nest and finish off all the remaining monsters. He had built up his attributes while killing the moon spiders and had become more efficient at killing all the monsters thanks to the Vampiric Sword.
Crunch! Crackle!
[Your body is undergoing changes. Because your stats have increased to 80.]
Elliott could feel a great change inside him that was beyond anything he had experienced from killing all the monsters. As his muscles tore, his body began to eliminate waste through his pores. His wounded skin crumbled and peeled away. His joints softened as something squeezed between his bones.
He was in a lot of pain, but adrenaline spread through his body like wildfire and an indescribable pleasure surged through him. Something began to spin rapidly and ferociously through his body.
was manna.
Elliott's body was undergoing extreme changes. The mana was stimulating every change in his body, causing his internal balance to collapse and reset at the same time.
*Crunching* Crunching* Crunching*
A long time passed and all the changes in Elliott's body stopped.
"Hoo."
Elliott took a deep breath. then all the tiredness he had been feeling began to disappear, making him feel alive again.

Elliott looks at his condition with a big smile.
Thanks to the Vampiric sword draining the monsters' energy, his stats had increased greatly and at a fast pace.
Elliott was really happy to have fallen into the tomb of the vampire progenitor and obtained such a perfect weapon for someone like him, who has no contact whatsoever in this tower.
[It has been confirmed that you have upgraded your body. Your body is strong enough to continue with the awakening of your bloodline. the transformation process resumes. 4%... 6%... 12%... 23%... 35%... 50%... 77%... 89%... 100%]
[It will start the transformation of your body and awaken your bloodline].
As soon as the message from the tower system finished arriving.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Elliott couldn't stand the pain and started screaming at the top of his lungs from the horrible pain he was feeling.
Elliott began coughing inscrutably, each time a mouthful of blood escaped him. But that wasn't the end of it. Blood was pouring out of all his orifices. His eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and even his butt. And oddly enough, the blood that was coming out was boiling. The small pool of blood that was forming under him kept growing because of how hot his blood was at that moment.
Suddenly, Elliott spits out another mouthful of blood. But unlike before, there was a lot more blood. Even what appeared to be some organs and muscles.
Elliott's body kept changing. His blood was still boiling inside his body, his organs were still coming out a little bit. The same applied to his muscles as well. And even what looked like small parts of bones were coming out. However, it wasn't just the inside of his body that was changing.
As his old inner body was now almost free, it made room for the new part. The new bones were stronger and more resilient. New muscles were stronger and healthier, as well as new skin that was gradually changing. While the overall appearance looked more majestic.
His old skin was piled off his body to be replaced by a new one, free of all impurities. Even her hair changed. They were much healthier than before.
However, this process was not easy. It hurt like hell when everything came out of her body. But it hurt twice as much when things were recreated. Sure his body was getting stronger, but it was making him hurt a lot more.
So much so that Elliott squeezed every part of his body to try to ease the pain. Like last time, he was trying to hurt himself to forget the pain he was feeling, but it didn't change one bit because it seemed to get worse and worse as the seconds passed.
The transformation process seemed even worse than any torture. It was as if Elliott was experiencing destruction and creation one after the other.
And yet, despite all this pain, Elliott did not faint. He was enduring the process. Sure he was screaming until even his throat began to bleed. Sure he was in pain. Sure he was under a lot of pressure. Sure he felt like it was better to die. But he didn't give up.
Elliott had stopped screaming and fell passed out on the floor.
***
Elliott was passed out for six hours.
By the time he woke up, Elliott could already see the changes.
His vision was much clearer than before. Where before he could clearly see something a hundred yards away, now he was sure it had doubled, if not tripled.
He then got up from the ground and went to a puddle of water, only to be surprised by what he saw.
His face was now much more mature than before. He was more handsome, his jaw was more visible and his hair was as beautiful and silky smooth.
As for his body, he was much bigger than before. He was sure he grew about ten inches, and his chiseled but small muscles were now bigger, but they still fit him perfectly. He no longer had the body of a child but rather that of a well-trained adult.
"And this body that was malnourished before!"
Elliott was amazed at the great change in his body and his smile could not be hidden.
Meanwhile, Elliott was amazed at the changes at that moment.

Elliott looked at the notification messages with a big smile, the whole transformation process was accelerated by the new sword, which helped him have the right stats to be able to awaken his bloodline fully.

"This is great, even my magic power increased!"
Elliott was even happier to see his magic power finally increased.
"Let's look at what I got."
[Dragon's Breath].
Information is temporarily blocked.
"Mmm... it happened the same as when I looked at the sword it was a blocked ability and didn't show information until I lifted the seal."
Elliott deduced that might be the case since before getting the vampiric sword Sabina's ability was sealed.
"And what kind of dragon am I don't understand what it says next to it to be written in an ancient language."
As he enjoyed the feeling of his changed body, Elliott remembered the pending system message he had received when he first entered the dungeon. Now it was time to claim his rewards.

Elliott smiled as he looked over the list of rewards. It was the first time he had the opportunity to select his reward and he saw some cool items he had seen earlier in the mystery merchant's catalog. It was a little disappointing that he could only choose one item, but Elliott didn't worry too much about it. He scrolled to the bottom of the list and found what he was looking for.
[98. 3000 additional points]
He had gotten a lot of things in this E block, from the Vampiric Sword to the awakening of his bloodline, and he assumed there would be more rewards from that point on, so nothing else on the list caught his attention. What Elliott was missing most at this point were points. Of course, even when adding them, he would still need a lot more points to get a good score and not fail the tutorial. Elliott selected reward number 98 right away.
[An additional 3000 points have been selected as a reward.]
