Chapter 63: Fates wheel turn (1)
Absorbing beast cores without purifying them can lead to weird mutations. Human ears could be covered by furs or they may grow a tail. They will look like beast people if they don't purify the beast core. If an F-rank awakened absorbs more than ten beast core then there's a high chance of death.
In reply, a notification pops up to clear his confusion, [Guardian has the bloodline of Devansha and Night. Guardian also has me, the greatest treasure that Night created in his lifetime. Guardian can rest assured, nothing bad will happen to you if you absorb beast cores without purifying them.]
Whittaker's lips pressed together and his crystal icy eyes opened wide in thoughts, 'Devansha, isn't this the same word Grey has said in the book of gossips? I also have the bloodline of Devansha and Night, but who are they? Hello, System, can you tell me?'
Some second later, a new notification pops up, [Devansha is the ancestor of your mother's family while Night is the ancestor of your father's family.]
Whittaker knew that this was his chance to find more information about his parents. "You know who my mother and father are, right? Can you tell me? Please! Why did they leave me?" He was feeling slightly sad while asking this, but also an unquenchable desire to know the truth.
The system was recovering and it could only reply after a certain time lag.
[Night's will system can't say more as I am in a pact with the guardian of your mother clan that binds me to certain rules, but don't be disappointed. If you grow stronger and reach E-rank mage and E-rank battle master, then I will be able to let you meet Kathleen, the Starry Skies Snowy Dragon]
Whittaker's eyes blinked rapidly as he was lost in thoughts. 'First, it was the Dark spirit, and now it is Kathleen. Just who are my parents? Why did they have to leave me?"
The young boy's heart was distress, and his head furrowed, but no one could comfort him.
He asked, 'Kathleen, is she the guardian of my mother clan?'
[Yes]
'You won't tell me anything else about my parent, right?' He asked with a disappointed look.
[Yes]
'I guess I will have to become stronger.' he sighed. Then turned his attention towards the system, once again.
"How though?" Whittaker asked while pulling out a beast core. "When the purifier is used, the crystallized beast core is converted into an elixir, so an awakened can drink it. The thing is, how am I gonna absorb a beast core raw? It's harder than a rock!"
[Guardian just needs to place the beast core in his mouth and the beast core will be melted into a gaseous state. This privilege comes from your mother side]
Whittaker feels a tinge of annoyance at the system as it kept on talking about his parent without revealing anything more. Was it fun to tease a troubled young man? Anyways, his gratitude for the system was overwhelmingly more than the emotion of annoyment, so he forgave it.
Whittaker walked out of the service hall, as he didn't want to show his special trait to anyone. He might just get labeled as a weirdo who is actively trying to mutate.
Whittaker walked back to the boy's dormitory, along the way, he didn't meet anyone he was familiar with. Silently, he came back to room no.7. He didn't see Shadow in the room, so he guessed that he was still training.
'What a hard-working guy!'
Since no one was in the room, he could do as he wished. First of all, he swiftly took off his uniform and changed into more comfy clothes. Then he pulled out nine battle energy cores and three mana cores from his hinter's ring.
'Will there be a problem if I absorb them, right away?' he asked the system.
Previously, he has suffered from a lot of pain because of increasing his mana without considering the stability of his mana pool. This time, he wanted to be sure whether it was safe or not.
[Today, Guardian can absorb the battle energy cores but don't absorb the mana cores, otherwise, your mana pool will lose its stability. It already took the Dark Spirit a lot of effort and energy to stabilize it, so don't cause trouble. From now on, Guardian should only increase his mana by a maximum of 50 a day. Battle energy can be increased without limits]
Whittaker didn't want to face the same pain again, as a matter of fact, he didn't want to take any actions that will lead to the harm or destruction of the mana pool. He was very willing to follow the System's prescription.
Whittaker started to absorb the battle energy cores. Just like what the system said, the moment he placed the core into his mouth, it melted into battle energy, and this battle energy rushed towards the pit of his stomach and was absorbed by the battle core.
One by one, he absorbed all nine of them.
[Guardian Battle energy has increased by 0.9 points. Total battle energy 1.9!]
Whittaker was beaming a smile as he felt really happy. There were no side effects. Lastly, he has benefited by 100% from the beast core, unlike other humans.
Normally, after the purification process, only 10% of the total amount would be left. For example, F-rank mana cores can increase the mana of mages by ten units, but after purification, a mage will gain only 1 mana unit.
The same goes for battle energy beast cores.
He was happy because he could absorb the entire benefit that a beast core provided without facing the side effects of such actions. It's all thanks to my mother's bloodline. 'My birth mother must really be pretty as she gave birth to the handsome me. Will I ever see her in my life?' he thought while staring at himself in the mirror.
The snowy-haired boy was really proud of his handsomeness!
