Chapter 150
[Congratulations! A rare treasure has been created from the lowest-level combination recipe!]
[You have obtained Vital Elixir (S).]
[You have accomplished a great feat, and the system rewards you with 10 bonus stat points.]
“As expected.”
Suho smiled as he read the notification.
Naturally, he couldn’t help but laugh.
After all, he had gained 10 bonus stat points from a single combination.
But this was all part of his plan.
For a combination to yield a great feat, it must produce an item that no other player had yet encountered, and at this point, the Vital Elixir was something that people couldn’t even imagine.
Suho quickly checked the details of the Vital Elixir.
[Vital Elixir]
– Grade: S
# A mysterious elixir that increases experience level upon consumption, though it’s best not to know its recipe.
# Increases experience for a selected skill upon consumption.
Satisfied with the information, Suho smiled with contentment.
The Vital Elixir he obtained was exactly what he had hoped for.
Afterward, he continued adding the remaining ingredients, transforming them all into Vital Elixirs.
[You have obtained Vital Elixir (S).]
[You have obtained Vital Elixir (S).]
[You have obtained Vital Elixir (S).]
……
A series of notifications poured in.
Then.
[Your understanding of item combinations is very high.]
[The system is evaluating your talent.]
[Congratulations! The lowest-level combination recipe has been upgraded to a low-level combination recipe.]
Perhaps it was due to his consecutive successes.
The lowest-level combination recipe had upgraded to a low-level recipe.
Around that time, Suho had managed to secure a total of 20 Vital Elixirs.
With the production complete, Suho immediately consumed one Vital Elixir.
[You have consumed the Vital Elixir.]
[You absorb the skill experience contained within the Vital Elixir.]
[Please select the skill you wish to enhance.]
The S-grade elixir didn’t have any special flavor.
Rather, it melted like cotton candy the moment it touched his tongue.
Then, a list of skills he possessed appeared before him.
The choice was already decided.
Without hesitation, Suho selected the Blood Orb skill.
[The skill experience from the Vital Elixir is absorbed into the Blood Orb skill.]
[Absorption complete.]
That was the entirety of the notification.
“Of course, one isn’t enough.”
Players couldn’t see exactly how much experience each skill required.
So, the only option was to consume the elixirs until he received a level-up notification, even if the efficiency wasn’t optimal.
Suppressing his disappointment, Suho began consuming the Vital Elixirs slowly, one after another.
[The skill experience from the Vital Elixir is absorbed into the Blood Orb skill.]
[Absorption complete.]
[The skill experience from the Vital Elixir is absorbed into the Blood Orb skill.]
[Absorption complete.]
[The skill experience from the Vital Elixir is absorbed into the Blood Orb skill.]
[Absorption complete.]
……
After consuming the Vital Elixirs gradually, Suho was on his eighth elixir when something happened.
[The skill experience from the Vital Elixir is absorbed into the Blood Orb skill.]
[Absorption complete.]
[Blood Orb’s experience is now full.]
[The rank of the Blood Orb skill has increased.]
[Congratulations! The Blood Orb skill has been upgraded to S rank.]
[The details of Blood Orb have changed, and additional effects have been added.]
At last, the Blood Orb skill had achieved S rank.
Simultaneously, new notifications appeared.
[The requirements to unlock the second power of Vampire Blood have all been met.]
[① Reach level 100.]
[② Achieve S rank in the Blood Orb skill.]
[Absorbing all the blood contained within the Blood Orb.]
[The second power of Vampire Blood has been unlocked.]
[True Blood has been unlocked.]
[You have mastered the True Power (S) of True Blood.]
[The True Power of True Blood has increased the rank of some skills.]
[Congratulations! The rank of ‘Blood Drain’ has been upgraded to S rank.]
[Congratulations! The rank of ‘Blood Weapon’ has been upgraded to S rank.]
[Original Vampire is activating.]
[As the first vampire, you are the purest and most noble existence, entitled to wield true power.]
[The details of Blood Drain have changed.]
[The details of Blood Orb have changed.]
[The details of Blood Weapon have changed.]
[You have mastered ‘True Blood Drain (S+).’]
[You have mastered ‘True Blood Orb (S+).’]
[You have mastered ‘True Blood Weapon (S+).’]
……
Suho found himself unconsciously gaping at the endless stream of system notifications.
However, the notifications still weren’t finished.
[You have mastered ‘Fascination (S)’ from the True Power.]
[You have mastered ‘Mist Transformation (S)’ from the True Power.]
With the second power unlocked, Suho gained two additional skills.
Suho’s eyes gleamed as he looked at them.
“This is…!”
Fascination and Mist Transformation.
Both were skills used by the Blood Emperor.
“I was disappointed that I only had access to the three basic skills because of Vampirism…!”
With the second power unlocked, he could now acquire these additional skills.
But.
“Are the other skills still out of reach?”
For example, the Blood Golem and Blood Scream used by the Cursed Prince.
It was unfortunate, but he wasn’t too concerned.
After experiencing the release of the second power, he speculated that the remaining skills might become available if he could unlock the third power.
The notifications about the powers finally ended.
But the system’s notifications were not over yet.
[All quest conditions have been met.]
[You have completed the trait quest.]
[New Blood has become even stronger.]
[A new bloodline has been added to New Blood.]
[The Giant’s Bloodline (F-) has been created.]
[Congratulations! You are the first to acquire the Giant’s Bloodline.]
[Having achieved a great feat, the system rewards you with 10 bonus stat points.]
[As a reward for completing the trait quest, you receive an additional 5 bonus stat points.]
At last, the trait quest was completed.
Suho scanned the system notifications with curious eyes. However…
“Giant’s Bloodline?”
Giant?
Could it be… that Giant?
Hurriedly, Suho checked the details of the Giant’s Bloodline.
[Giant’s Bloodline]
– Grade: F-
# The bloodline of the Giant race, known as the Giants.
# Currently sealed.
# To break the seal, you must undergo a baptism of pure Giant blood.
Seeing the information, Suho let out a dry laugh.
After all that effort to complete the trait quest, the reward was yet another conditional quest rather than a straightforward benefit.
Suho furrowed his brow in mild annoyance, but soon decided to think positively.
“No, don’t think too negatively. If the Giants mentioned in the skill description are the ones I know, then this is an incredible reward.”
And it truly was.
Among the various races Suho knew, the Giants were one of the strongest.
Especially in terms of warriors, no race could match the Giants’ strength.
Considering that he had received a bloodline of the Giants as a second trait reward, he could hardly believe it.
“But is it even okay for this to appear this early?”
It was quite surprising.
The Giants he knew only made their appearance in the mid-late stages of the Great Cataclysm.
Of course, he could technically meet the Giants at this point.
Since Suho knew the location of every gate worldwide.
But one issue remained—their level.
“The Giants are at least level 200 or higher….”
Currently, Suho’s level was 110.
His stats were far higher than other players of a similar level, but the Giants would be similarly overpowered.
“Hmm….”
Suho stroked his chin in contemplation.
There was a right order to everything, but with a secondary trait like this, securing it sooner would only increase his combat power and efficiency.
“So, at this point, the only place I could try is there.”
There were a few other places, but realistically, that was the only one he could likely conquer right now.
After adding the Giants’ Gate to his priority list, Suho checked his status window.
[Ahn Suho]
– Lv: 110
– Class: Crusader
– Traits: ＜New Blood＞＜Heracles Candidate＞
– Strength (O): 36
– Stamina (O): 12
– Mana (O): 1
– Perception (R): 75
– Bonus Stat: 25
The quest activation mark next to his trait disappeared.
He checked if there was any change in his trait name, but it remained the same.
Seeing the 25 bonus stat points, Suho couldn’t help but chuckle.
Twenty-five bonus points.
It was a tremendous amount.
But there was a reason for it.
Ten points for being the first to create Vital Elixir, ten more for being the first to acquire the Giant’s Bloodline, and five more as a reward for completing the trait quest.
“I’m probably the only one in the world earning bonus stat points like this.”
After some thought, Suho invested all 25 bonus stat points into his Mana.
He had wanted to invest it all into Perception and make it orange-grade, but he held back to take advantage of the unified effect.
“Just hold out until the stat redistribution.”
Then, Suho checked the details of his three newly upgraded S+ skills and the two new skills he had acquired.
He couldn’t stop marveling as he reviewed each skill.
“To think the options would be this impressive…!”
It was genuine admiration.
The original skills, upgraded from A to S+, had additional options, and thanks to the True Power of True Blood, these options were even better than expected.
As he reviewed his skills, a thought crossed Suho’s mind.
“Maybe I can move up my plans?”
It was true.
With these options, it seemed possible.
“In that case, I’d better get moving.”
It was time to return to the Association.
Suho immediately called Jung Chulmin.
“Hey, Suho!”
“Yes, Team Leader. I just finished the Special Quest, so I’m calling to report in.”
“Really? You did well, seriously!”
“It’s nothing. Anyway, about that gate I chose for my cover mission when I took leave….”
“Oh, right. That one? Why? Planning to tackle it now?”
“Yes, I’ll complete that and then prepare to return.”
“So, you just need me to contact them? But are you sure? Didn’t you just finish the Special Quest? Take a break first.”
“No, my stamina and condition are great. Taking more time off would be a waste. I’ll finish it up quickly and head back. Besides, our team needs a celebratory dinner, right?”
“Heh, I swear, you’re the only one who treats clearing a sealed gate like a stroll. Alright, I’ll set it up for you right away. But be careful, okay? You know what kind of place that is, right?”
“Yes, I know. And remember, I picked it because of that.”
“Haha, alright, I’ll get in touch with them. Good luck.”
“Thank you, Team Leader.”
Finishing the call, Suho began preparing to set out.
