Blood Assimilation

[[Warning: You will die if you do not heed to the system's instruction in time. The property of the malignant dark energy causes all things to fall into a state of abnormality and there was no way to resist this type of power]]

[[However, if you can kill the chimera that had not fully displayed the capability of this ability resulting from the dark energy, then you can survive. Otherwise, you will lose your life helplessly]]

'Baleful? Malignant? Dark energy? Unknown source? What the hell is going on? And what's more… The hell is this? Are you kidding me? Lose my life if I don't kill this damned monster in ten minutes?'

'Obviously, I also want to kill it so badly even if you didn't mention it, but it's just that I can't even move my body right now because of the pressure. Not to mention, my entire body hurts from the dark energy attack just now.'

'So how could I kill it in my current state? Fuck! Don't even mention ten minutes, even if I was given ten hours, it would be impossible. Since I can't do anything right now, I can only await my death ten minutes later.'

Randy complained in his mind but not for long as he started coughing up blood from his mouth at this moment.

"Cough! Cough! Cough! F-Fuck… I'm dying… Uhh… Damn monster… What the fuck did you do to me… Cough!"

Randy coughed up mouthful blood as he barely uttered these words.

'Damn it, I haven't lost so much blood in my life. Even when I was beaten by Jeremiah and his people, or when I fought against sunglasses man and his men, I didn't lose this much blood.'

'But fighting against this unknown chimera monster, I have lost so much blood that I feel light-headed and my insides are churning so badly that I'd rather faint at this point.'

Randy silently thought while covering his mouth that was letting out blood at this moment.

Feeling this unbearable pain, he gritted his teeth and spoke full of hatred: "I will fucking kill you with my own hands! Just you wait!'

'Is what I said but how do I fight against this monster? Ah, that's right, it is still under my blood authority skill's influence. Otherwise, it would've already come running over to finish me off. There's still a chance!'

Randy quickly thought to himself and immediately began pondering about a way out of this situation, a way to overturn the tide of this battle.

While he thought of this, Randy continued to cough up a mouthful of blood as he could feel his life slipping away in front of him.

But he was not willing to die to this monster, and he bit his tongue to keep himself awake through the pain.

With that, he continued to ponder some more with continuing to barely restrain the movement of the chimera monster in the distance.

One would wonder why he was desperate to survive despite being on his deathbed, and the reason for that was simple.

He was someone who once received so much love from his parents and the people around him. But that was up until the day he failed to awaken his innate ability; that day was when things started changing in his life.

On his first failure upon trying to awaken, nothing significant changed in his lifestyle but after failing a few more times, his once loving parents started shunning him and treating him coldly.

This situation bewildered him so much that he thought that he might have done something wrong that he was unaware of and so, he thought deeply about it.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he did not recall doing anything wrong except failing to awaken his innate ability.

With that, a few years passed, and even his childhood friend whom he thought would not abandon him also started ignoring him out of nowhere.

And also, because of this childhood friend, with whom he spent his childhood, he was constantly beaten by Jeremiah's people.

At the time, he did not understand why Jeremiah hated him or why he kept sending people after him all the time.

Only later did he find out that it was because he was trying to court his childhood friend but failed ultimately in doing so.

At that time, he realized that perhaps Jeremiah was jealous of him who was with her all the time, even then, he did not understand why he was taking his frustration on him.

But he also knew that even though he was not even in a romantic relationship with his childhood, he did in fact like her, but it was just that he never said anything about his feelings.

And so, he could not completely refute Jeremiah whenever he beat him up because he misunderstood and thought that he and Emilia were going out and because of that, it was the reason why she never looked at him.

But the situation escalated when he was beaten almost to the brim of death by Jeremiah and his people.

The goons who followed after Jeremiah all the time had always been bullying him inside or outside the academy under Jeremiah's order, but Randy did not care too much at the time.

That was because he had a strong body after training for so long, so he was able to take on their attacks without sustaining too much injury.

But the same cannot be said about that day when he was without a doubt exhausted after going overboard with his training, and thus the torture he suffered from Jeremiah and his goons were etched in his body and did not disappear even after he had awakened.

The hatred and resentment harbored that day gave him a reason to live on until the day of his revenge.

And also, he has not learned about the reason behind his parent's behavior towards him when he could not awaken his innate ability.

So how could he die now when his journey has not even begun yet?

At this point, he was continuing to bleed out from all over his body, through every orifice.

And more than that, he could not even retaliate with his current state due to the pressure on his body.

Although the pressure seemed to have weakened seeing as how he was now able to lift his hand, it was still unbearable under this pressure with the excruciating pain all over his body.

All of sudden, he stopped using Blood Authority Skill on the chimera monster, but he well aware that by doing this, it would allow the chimera monster to move easily and freely.

But that is what he is aiming for with this deliberate decision!

'My blood authority skill's range is about 5 meters around myself in my normal state and 10 meters in my current ancestral form. But if I narrow down my influence in a straight line, I can influence things up to 20 meters in front of me.'

"Cough!"

'But even with this skill range… it's now useless since this chimera bastard still managed to launch an attack under my skill's influence. But there's another way to defeat this monster, even if it would cause me some damage afterward.'

'But this method will require the chimera monster to attack me first… This would be a desperate attack on my end, but it is better than nothing. If I fail, then I would die. But if I succeed, then I will survive. It's that simple…'

Randy silently thought all these with a determined expression while ignoring the pain all over his body.
