The Bloodline System

It could change the form and state of the iro silk to whatever it wanted, and most times, it chose to make them in the form of spears similar to icicles.

All in all, it could create any size or form it desired with the iro silk, and the iro silk was tough enough to withstand almost anything.

The temperature of the river of flames wasn't high enough to melt it, even though it was hot enough to incinerate a full-grown adult human before they made contact with its surface.

Mixedbloods around Gustav level have tougher bodies, so they could last for about three to five seconds before they were incinerated completely within.

Gustav had a high defense level, so he could last for way longer, but he also would eventually be consumed completely within.

Gustav never used the power of the Kilapisole in public view because he had to partially or totally transform into the creature before he could materialize iro silk.

Doing this in public had the risk of someone recognizing the transformation to be that of an alien form, and right now, no one knew he could take on alien forms.

Everyone thought his transformation ability was only based on mixedbreeds. If alien forms were added to the mix of revealed information, Gustav could tell that it would cause an adverse effect.

After falling into the river of volcanic flames when battling Endric, Gustav instantly took the form of the Kilapisole while sinking into it.

After doing that, he wrapped his body in layers of iro silk before he was completely incinerated within.

He had already set a trap for Endric earlier by placing the gravitational energy container orb filled with mixed energy right behind him.

It was impossible to notice this due to the orb hiding within a type of gravitational field that only Gustav could see. It only revealed itself when it was ready to explode.

Gustav waited at the bottom of the river of flames till he heard and sensed the explosion.

His perception within the river of flames was at a high level, so the moment he sensed Endric being blasted across the place, he conjured spear-like iro silks, shooting them out of the river towards Endric's catapulting body.

He missed three times due to speed but finally got the fourth one, and this was his cue to leave the river of flames.

Even though the iro silk was very sturdy, there was no way it wouldn't erode with time.

He shot upwards by conjuring a massive pillar of iro silk which he stood atop.

All this was what led to the scene where he nearly killed Endric.

It had been a very crazy battle, and Gustav was still intrigued about the whole Endric powering up and the ability he used to delay him by conjuring an invisible clone from thousands of feet away.

Gustav decided to put all this off for now since Endric would come clean to him soon. He decided to keep focusing on channeling his bloodline for now. He would be leaving camp in a few days anyway.

----

Just like that, three days went by. During the last three days, the hype from the battle between Gustav and Endric still hadn't settled.

Cadets were still going crazy about the whole situation, and some began to compare Endric to the top five cadets on the ranking, saying, "Since Gustav could have a tough time, there's a possibility that Endric might win against the other four,"

This speculation had sparked debates all across the camp, and even though everyone admitted that Gustav was the undisputed number one, Endric was not a special class cadet to be trifled with.

His potential outranked every single cadet on camp regardless of year.

During the last two days, Gustav had excused himself from any camp-related activities since he was training for his first mission.

He was allowed to do as he pleased during this period, so anyone hardly saw him.

Today he finally came out of his room after three whole days of secluded bloodline channeling without taking a wink of sleep.

He had decided to meet with Vera before meeting with Endric today to confirm some things.

They met in one of the Camp gardens and sat on a chair placed in front of one of the trees.

"What is the situation now?" Gustav asked.

"My parasitic strains have turned dormant after the battle for supremacy..." Vera responded with a low tone.

"What? Does that mean you won't be able to take control of him?" Gustav asked.

Vera nodded in response.

"What of the other foreign element within?" Gustav asked.

"It also turned dormant... Both seemed to have cancelled each other out after the battle within him..." Vera answered.

"This is both good and bad. He won't be controlled by Yung Jo, but I also won't be able to gain control of him... I cannot trust him to act of his own free will," Gustav muttered with a troubled expression.

"Can you infect him with more parasitic strains?" Gustav suddenly asked after a few seconds of silence.

"He will die if I do that," Vera stated, causing Gustav to go back to his pondering state.

"Maybe he has changed... You should try giving him a chance," Vera added.

Gustav thought about it for a few seconds before sighing.

"Alright; let's see how things go," Gustav said before standing to his feet.

"Make sure you keep watching over his internal structure and report any change you notice," Gustav instructed before dashing off.

Swwoooooosshh!

Vera's hair blew upwards due to the wind-generated from Gustav's speed as she continued staring in his direction even after he had left.

"Bye... I'll miss you," Vera muttered sadly.

In about two minutes, Gustav was dashing towards the top of a massive icy top mountain.

He arrived at its top in a blink of an eye, where Endric could be seen waiting for him.

Fwwoohhh~

He paused his steps after arriving a few feet in front of Endric.

Half of Endric's face was wrapped in bandages, and his left arm was back in place, but also wrapped with bandages and strapped to his neck with a kind of rope-like bandage as well.

His right foot had also been regrown, but he was still using a walking stick to support himself.

Gustav stared at him with an expressionless look as usual, as if he didn't have a hand in Endric's current state.

"I'm listening...."
