Chapter 16: A Peculiar State (1)

If there is a soul in this world, then what is a soul?

This question began to be pondered shortly after Gustav woke up in this world. He was, of course, a materialist, but it was undeniable that when the coefficients of the universe changed, the general principles of the original world no longer apply.

It was at this time that the same common sense, which no longer applied, took place, and the fire that appeared in Gustav's spiritual secret door gradually spread.

It was originally a piece like Mars, but after a few seconds it became a small piece. With the appearance of the firelight, the spiritual secret door has a brilliance, and the original vanished arcane model is thrown again.

At this time, the pain in his body was also relieved a lot, and his body came to a new equilibrium point, which allowed Gustav to have some strength to get up.

If I'm not mistaken, I must have traces of the fire of life in my eyes right now...... Gustav came to the mirror, took a breath, and slowly opened his eyes.

There was a ring of bright red flames around the black pupils, shredded and burning slowly, and Gustav could feel that he had something to do with the city of Redfarr. This means that he has temporarily become a Dragonborn of Fryer, and can be blessed and blessed by the Red Dragon in Redfarr. The last time he was at the Nightchild Meeting, most of the borrowed power had been negated by the curse, making it difficult for Gustav to stay in this state for too long, and before he could think about it, he withdrew from it.

"What I still have to make sure is: first, I don't have the blood of the Red Dragon, let alone a descendant of Fryer. Secondly, the triggering mechanism of this state needs to be linked to my abnormal mental state, first of all, I must activate the playback mode of the photographic memory, and then select the power that needs to be 'borrowed'...... "The brilliance of the 'fire of life' in Gustav's eyes is slowly declining, gradually moving towards the state of extinguishment.

Before extinguishing, Gustav experimented with several Red Dragon's guardian spells.

Bloodline is a kind of inheritance, a way for ancient creatures to pass on their skills through blood relations.

However, Gustav's current state is very peculiar: it seems that he only has the existence of the bloodline, but there is no inheritance of the bloodline.

Even if he was able to attract Fryer's power, he did not get the talent and potential of the red dragon, just like a tabula rasa figure with no blood.

"That time, I may have been in this state to use the Burning Sword...... And the magic attached to the Burning Sword has responded to the red dragon blood I 'disguised'...... But in reality, I was able to do it as a simulation of the breath, not an exact copy. After careful discernment, Gustav came to a conclusion that was as fair as possible based on the facts.

Slightly disappointed, Gustav had fantasized that it would be very interesting if he could completely 'copy' the full potential of a bloodline and be able to bring it to life.

A man who copies more than a thousand bloodlines?

With a bit of a bad taste, Gustav remembered some of the comics he had read before, and he himself liked one of the characters at the time.

Slowly, the 'fire of life' in Gustav's eyes faded.

"Even if I activate this state of borrowing blood, I can't control it for a long time, maybe I can prolong the maintenance of this state after some kind of exercise, but the time is ...... It's only about a minute. During the duration of the spell, I will have all the stats except the Bloodline potential, and I can use the Bloodliner's exclusive weapons through the Bloodline detection mechanism, and if I know the specific casting process, I may also be able to cast the Bloodliner's secret arts. ”

Gustav had a very good grasp of the time, carefully estimated it, rigorously gave an approximate time of action, and made a small assessment of the future of this ability.

Returning to normal human eyes, he felt at first that his vision was beginning to darken. This is because the retina stimulates light after strong light becomes weaker, and after recovery, it is natural to feel that the light perception of the field of vision is much worse.

Slowly, Gustav regained his sight.

Having made himself a cup of coffee with extra sugar, Gustav continued to explore his body.

"I'm going to get into that form again and tonight seems like my lucky day, so I'm going to have to take advantage of it. ”

Taking a sip of sugary coffee, Gustav closed his eyes again.

Just like the pupils, the red dragon aura that filled the spiritual secret door had also subsided. The scene inside was a bit cold compared to just now.

"If I can borrow the power of Fryer, then can I use it accordingly...... The power of the Night Mother?" Gustav's heart thumped as the thought popped into his mind. "The demon gods, the gods, and the bloodline are not very identical in nature: the first two attract the attention of the person being prayed for and give them powers, while the bloodline is prayed to put all abilities in the genes and pass them on. However, in my case, I can only form signs of bloodline, and I cannot obtain the inheritance in my genes. ”

"So, can I intercept the source of the Shadow Warrior's power as if I were blaspheming the priest?"

Forcing himself into photographic memory, Gustav strives to enrich every detail of his memory.

He was back to that night again.

Thrown to the ground by the Shadow Warrior, Gustav recalls the image.

The power of the Night Mother is entwined in the picture, and although it is only a spiritual memory, it feels like the thought of a strong wine makes it feel spicy, and Gustav's skin aches faintly.

Looking up, Gustav and the Shadow Warrior of his memory met each other.

The other person's pupil is extremely small, somewhat similar to a red dot in the white of the eye. There are not many emotions to be seen in it, only indifference and piety: indifference and disdain for life, and devout worship of the demon god of the Night Mother of the Fear Origin.

The murmur of the Night Mother echoed in my ears again, an abyssal language mixed with ancient syllables of unknown meaning.

The body becomes cold, the mind becomes cruel, as if the whole person has become an ice sculpture, followed by the desire for destruction and the desire to kill life.

Taking a deep breath, Gustav felt a shock to his psych. Restraining his emotions, Gustav held back his agitation and tried his best to steady.

Slowly opening his eyes, he looked at himself in the mirror.

The shadow was like a black mist, his eyes turned scarlet, and the power of darkness somehow descended on Gustav.

He stole the power of the Night Mother.
