Chapter 784 - Bloodline Mutation
Chapter 784 – Bloodline Mutation
As soon as Emery arrived at the Gene facility, a group of a dozen people in white coats welcomed him with much anticipation shown on their faces.
Just like the previous time he was here, Emery was quickly led to the main room, where he was put into a large pod-like chamber. Afterwards, half a dozen long tubes were quickly pierced into all four of his limbs, one through his mouth and the last right into his heart.
Before the people went with the procedure, Emery asked about the details of the process.
Bob the Frog was actually impatient and wanted to start right away. Silva, however, quickly stopped him with her words.
"Uncle, you better explain first!"
Bob glanced at her and saw a serious look. He grabbed his head and groaned. "Arrgghh! Alright! I will explain" A vein seemed to pop up on his forehead when he saw a satisfied nod from Silva.
It was as he explained before, Bob had now confirmed that the Fey bloodline was a mutated bloodline. It probably was a result of powerful primordial level magic that created the species.
However, either because the magic was incomplete or that there was a decline with the passage of generations, the Fey bloodline Emery possessed was actually a downgraded version from how it was originally.
Referring to the book about the Fenrir wolf, Bob believed the Fey was meant to be created based on the God Wolf Bloodline. However, it based its gene from the Night Wolf bloodline, hence the uncontrollable chaos and madness as the night wolf was one side of the two parts of the God wolf.
Fortunately, the [Beast Pendant] Emery had contained an actual remnant of the Night Wolf's sibling – it contained the genes of the Day Wolf, which was able to neutralize the chaos.
With the help of the other gene specialists, Bob was able to create a booster that would hopefully perfect the mutation and fulfill the purpose the Fey was created for in the first place.
"Hopefully?" Silva said in worry.
"Well it's all just a theory until proven" Bob replied with an awkward frog smile.
"However in my deduktion, this Fey is definitely meant to be a mythikal bloodline, a bloodline upgrade! It's worth the risk! Imagine the breakthrough we kould achieved!"
The frog half blood certainly had an agenda of his own, but as long as it helped him, Emery didn't mind being used as an experiment. This man was one of the best in the field and Emery would never get a better chance solving his problem than this, so he couldn't waste it.
Especially after all the depressing news he heard from Duke Syre, Emery finally received something that cheered his gloomy mood.
Before Bob closed the see through the chamber, signaling the start of the procedure, the man leaned closer to Emery and spoke in a voice only the two of them could hear. "I don't want my niece to know, but I honestly put all my passion in this baby of mine. So, however painful it may be, you must endure… You got me?"
The man's words were so serious; Emery nodded his head firmly as determination rose within him.
The moment the lid was shut tight, Emery could immediately see liquid enter and drown the chamber. It didn't take long for the chamber to be fully filled, with him completely submerged in the liquid.
Silva, who saw Emery floating inside the chamber, turned to Bob and asked, "What is that liquid, uncle?"
"Erm… it's just a concoction of a hundred different herbs to make sure he's strong enough for the procedure. Simply put, a healthy tonic." Seeing her dubious look, Bob added, "Well, it is actually a super tonic. that young man would need it."
Silva couldn't help but worry, as her eyes turned to Emery again. She didn't need to hear all the details, but she knew what Emery was about to go through was not the usual practice of the facility. That was also probably why the whole team and her uncle were being so unusually excited.
Slowly but surely, the tonic liquid seeped into Emery's skin and immersed every organ within. This process lasted for an hour, before Bob fiddled with the instrument and a crimson liquid appeared and made its way through the 5 tubes that were injected into his blood vessels.
Under the enthusiastic but serious gazes of Bob and the other researchers, it slowly mixed within Emery's body. A few minutes later, the chain reaction they seemed to have expected finally happened.
The two blood, new and old, were actually fighting each other within their abode – Emery's body, this naturally made Emery feel an excruciating pain that he had never experienced before.
"Arrgghhh!!!" Silva could clearly see the twisted expression on Emery's face and could faintly hear his groans even though he was in the chamber.
Over the course of a few minutes, Emery's body unexpectedly began to gradually shrink. This development continued to the point where it left him in a literal state of skin plastered on the bones. It was as if all the liquid and moisture inside his body had been eaten by the blood.
Seeing this, Bob quickly shouted. "It's going at a mukh faster rate than we initially thought! Quikkly replake the liquid and inkrease the dosage!"
Meanwhile, Emery's body continued to tremble violently as he kept feeling as if his insides were being burnt by blazing fire.
After all the fights and challenges he experienced since the first time he started this journey, Emery thought he knew what pain was. However, it seemed he was still too naive. Even the burning cauldron on the body tempering facility was not this painful.
Actually, this was because the pain didn't originate from outside the body; it was coming from within the body – the organs that were known to be much weaker – which made it exponentially more painful.
"Aaarrrggghhh!!!"
Unable to watch Emery suffer any longer, Silva turned to his uncle and shouted, "How long will this go on, uncle?!"
"As long as it needs." Bob clenched his fist as his eyes fixed at the panel showing Emery's status. "As long as it needs."
…
Dum, dum, dum…
These were the sounds that came to his mind. It was the sound of his heart pumping really hard, working trying to process the blood that was being purified continuously.
Emery could feel each drop of his blood breaking apart into pieces into tiny cells, reforming and breaking again, continuously unable to keep the form.
As time went on and the excruciating agony continued, Emery felt he should not have been able to endure this experience were it not for the notifications that kept popping into his mind.
[Unknown essence entered and corrupted your bloodline]
[Your bloodline just went through a purifying process]
[Genes purified]
[Unknown essence enter and corrupted your bloodline]
[Genes purified]
The notification kept repeating itself every hour, giving him some solace in all the pain he had been in and continued to suffer. The revelation he just received about his spirit core also gave him the extra motivation to persist through this ordeal.
Emery already had so many problems with his spirit core. Therefore, he needed to make sure he didn't have any hidden problems left in his bloodline. So for that, he had to persevere no matter how much pain he had to feel.
A full day passed and Emery's misery continued.
Day two came and went – Emery's misery was still not over.
The third day arrived and Emery found out how much pain he was actually capable of enduring.
Meanwhile, for the past three days, Bob and the other researchers didn't just stay idle. They continued to observe Emery's condition and maintain the dosage that supported Emery's body, which was on the verge of complete failure.
After three days of unceasing torment, Emery suddenly looked as if he was not in pain anymore. He didn't scream in pain anymore and became silent, as if he was dead which instantly made Silva panic again.
Bob quickly spoke to calm the panicked girl. "Don't worry, niece. He's still there."
"How is the procedure, uncle? Why isn't it finished yet?!"
"Be patient, niece." Bob responded calmly, as if he had expected her reaction. "It's not as simple as pushing the bloodline for a breakthrough like we did to Heorgar. This is aktually something on a kompletely different skale. We're trying to upgrade his bloodline."
…
Another three days passed. Finally Emery's body began to show a different reaction. The skeleton-like appearance from before started to dissipate, as his muscles gradually returned. Meanwhile, Emery, who was in a semi-conscious state, finally received a different notification.
[Analyzing genes…]
[Your Bloodline went through extreme changes]
[Bloodline Mutated – classification – Mythical bloodline]
[Bloodline limit breakthrough]
[Rank 8]
