Beyond the Bloodline-Chapter 103: Sanguine Ignition

On Miranda’s command, the energy that seemed to want to cover the world vanished like it was never there, but for Dornik and the rest, they could tell that it had only just been restrained.

The transcendents could not believe their eyes, as this butterfly on Miranda’s finger was emitting an aura that was far more powerful than theirs!

"Your Majesty, it’d be more appropriate to tell her to read the ’World’ and not just the room."

A second voice rang out from beside Miranda, shocking the transcendents as they saw the figure of a man dressed in a black and gold Knight’s uniform materialise beside her.

He held out his hands and grabbed onto the chains of causality—which had appeared to restrain the Butterfly that had broken the World Law limiting beings to the Transcendent Level—before stuffing the chains back in the spatial cracks.

[Shut up, stupid mutt.]

A clear bell-like voice rang out after he spoke, and the man’s brows twitched repeatedly as he tried to prevent his hands from touching the sword at his hip.

"Now’s not the time for you two to bicker."

The man’s expression turned neutral as he dropped his hand and bowed lightly in Miranda’s direction, not even registering the existence of the other ants—correction; ; the other transcendents in the room.

Miranda held out a hand and poked his forehead, transferring the information about the current situation to him before continuing.

"Go to the location I sent you and...wreak havoc."

[Okay!]

The Butterfly on Miranda’s finger, her pet, Lillie, responded with an energetic voice, but the man in the Knight’s uniform remained silent.

"What is it?"

"Pardon me, Your Majesty, but I seem to sense His Majesty’s Presence on this planet."

When he spoke, Miranda quickly figured out what he was hinting at.

"Yeah, Jamie’s here as well.

But you are not permitted to see him as his presence here is not something you are meant to know of in the first place."

From the man’s face, it could be seen that he was a bit disheartened, but he quickly controlled his expression and bowed once more before speaking.

"Very well. I shall carry out your previous orders."

With those words, he disappeared in a flash of light while Lillie’s body faded away like mist.

However, Dornik could tell that the two of them were still on Zotov.

"What did you summon?!"

"Calm down. It’s a timed summoning; they’d disappear in 30 minutes."

Miranda replied as she blocked out the gazes coming from both Terrion on the moon, as well as what she believed was the incarnation of Zotov’s consciousness.

"Now then, about our plan to deal with Ladoa."

She casually picked up her tablet and began scrolling on it, but there was no way the First Class Commanders were in any state to continue planning after seeing her summon two beings that could arguably be called the strongest things on the planet besides herself.

◇ ◇ ◇

While Miranda was summoning two beings capable of destroying Prime Worlds by ’kicking the ground too hard’, Jamie was just concluding his analysis of the restraints on him.

’10 seconds, it is,’

That was how long he needed to break free using his unique skill, so all he had to wait for was for Miranda’s help to arrive while he began making plans.

’There are Mermaids in this world.

Maybe one of them can get me the materials I need. Also Maybe, I should have Miranda beat up a Transcendent so I can kill them and level up.

But would that even be enough for me to get to the intermediate stage? The EXP I require is leagues above normal Sovereigns, after all.’

As soon as he thought that, a strange aura descended upon the area, locking the entire space they were in a preventing any sort of movement outside.

It was like the Artifact Anda had used when the Liberation Front was in Ridrea, only just that this affected Transcendents as well.

"?!"

The Transcendents all reacted immediately, flaring their auras wildly as they looked in the direction of the source of this aura, while the Mermaid quickly returned to the Void Gate area.

"An attack?! I knew they were going to pull something like this."

"I can’t sense their armies but it wouldn’t be long before we can. Mobilize the soldiers."

"I’m only sensing two presences but there could be more. Some of us should stand back for a while."

10 Seconds.

That was all the time Jamie needed to break free.

The time between them sensing the presence and the three transcendents speaking, was well over that 10-second window.

"Unique Skill: Child of Space."

"!?"

"Fuck! Westley!"

The Leader Dragon turned around and saw Jamie standing, with the straitjacket in shreds on the floor while the aura sealing chains were being violently slashed to pieces by invisible blades.

Jamie’s eyes were glowing eerily, and when he looked up at them, they instinctively took steps back in fear.

The Hybrid’s Demeanour was vastly different from before, especially as he had now finally activated his Series Skill fully for the first time since waking up.

"Damn it, you guys go deal with the ones above, I’ll handle this."

"No! You go above and leave this to us."

The Half Vampire countered his fellow Lieutenant’s words as he prepared to confront Jamie, and seeing this, the Leader Dragon nodded and took some of the transcendents with him as they went above ground.

Now, there were three transcendents left with Jamie.

The Half Vampire, the male elf and the Zotovian Elf woman.

The area was silent for a moment, but that silence was broken when the male elf suddenly kicked off the ground and charged towards Jamie with all his might.

He summoned a sword and swung down towards Jamie, but the Hybrid used spatial expansion between them, giving the elf more distance to traverse to reach him.

"Heed me, Wind!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

With a short chant, the man summoned the elemental energy of the law of wind around his sword, enabling him to cleave through the spatial expansion and break it.

But by this time, Jamie had already taken distance from him, avoiding the full-powered sword slash. The elf quickly redirected his sword’s trajectory and prevented it from touching the ground, dashing forward once more as he attempted an upward arcing slash at Jamie.

Though the elf reached the Hybrid before the latter could escape, his sword failed to strike through and just phased through Jamie’s body.

Faster than the man could readjust himself, and faster than the other two transcendents’ attacks from the side could reach, Jamie forced his right palm into the mouth of the elf, while simultaneously using his other hand to slam the under of the elf’s jaw and forcing him to bite on Jamie’s hand.

He then dragged his palm out, making sure to cut his fingers on the elf’s teeth while his left hand forced the elf’s mouth shut.

The next second, Jamie teleported away from that position, letting the Zotovian’s spear thrust and the Half Vampire’s Blood Sword slash strike empty air.

"A Hybrid’s blood can be a very lethal poison, don’t drink it at home, school or anywhere."

"GAK!"

The moment Jamie had spoken on the toxicity of his blood, the Elf suddenly made a strange sound and coughed out blood, with his sword falling to the ground as he held his neck with both hands and dropped to his knees.

Seeing this, the Half Vampire instantly guessed what had happened, and when he remembered how Jamie’s blood had exhibited the ability to manipulate his blood property and make it acidic, his conjecture had been confirmed.

"Damn, he’s poisoned!"

He quickly moved to attend to the elf while the Zotovian charged up her aura around her spear and dashed towards Jamie.

"Sorry dear, but I don’t have time to play with you."

Jamie created a wormhole right in front of her spear and then another behind her, making her twist her body at an odd angle to avoid piercing herself with her weapon whose tip emerged from the wormhole behind her.

In that time, Jamie teleported behind the half-vampire and stretched out his right hand, dipping it into the patch of darkness that appeared beside him—his subspace’s entrance—and grabbed onto something.

"Galaxy Sword."

He unleashed the weapon of spatial destruction and infused it with the power of his Child of Space skill, causing the space around the sword to shimmer as he thrust it forward.

The Half Vampire reacted and grabbed the elf before jumping away, out of Jamie’s striking range but it was futile.

Just like he had sent the Zotovian Elf’s spear through a wormhole, Jamie sent the sword through space and the blade emerged behind the Half Vampire, piercing him straight in the heart.

To make sure he could not dodge again, Jamie had applied a simple spatial freezing effect, but it turned out to be unnecessary.

**SQUELCH!!

Blood splattered both on the floor and on the elf whom the Half Vampire was carrying, and Jamie instantly activated a spell.

"Blood Magic: Sanguine Ignition."
