Combat Maid Harem-Chapter 739 A Hidden Bloodline

It was unbelievable for her to see him leave his physical body. His soul might be powerful, but it would easily be destroyed if he weren't careful.

"I also won't lose!" Veronica shouted.

She grew horns at the top of her head, and her whole being turned ominous. That was right, she became a combination of a Fallen Angel and a Demon. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖

When the Third Ancestor saw that, his heart skipped a beat from dread.

"This is not good…"

Veronica didn't know that she alarmed the people above her. Many screamed as she and Inferno's competition with each other reached a new high.

Those that were carefully watching the rankings held their breath.

1. Inferno

2. Veronica

…

1. Veronica

2. Inferno

…

The duo's name repeatedly switched.

Veronica and Inferno used their all. They were willing to risk their safety to win their father's recognition as the best descendant.

"I want to reach even deeper!" Veronica muttered to herself.

She wanted to try what Inferno was doing, but she was afraid of damaging her soul. It had happened to her before already, and she didn't know if her father could save her again.

Aezel had warned her multiple times not to risk it.

"Argh!"

Alas, Veronica couldn't do it. If she died, she would have nothing, and her mother would be hurt. She didn't want that to happen just to get her father's recognition today. There would be plenty of chances for her in the future.

Veronica stopped in place and used this time to improve her bloodline.

Inferno was confused when he didn't feel her movements anymore. He turned back and noticed that she was absorbing the magma to improve her bloodline.

Veronica opened her mouth and let the magma pierce through her internal organs. She drank them with very painful mouthfuls.

Inferno released a sigh of relief. He thought he would have to go deeper. He could actually feel that he wouldn't be able to go on deeper. His soul was still too weak, and he didn't have any idea how to protect it efficiently.

He stopped and let the magma around him recreate his body. With his phoenix bloodline, it wasn't hard for him to do so. His brain appeared, his nerves, blood vessels, heart, internal organs, and flesh.

The process looked disgusting, but it wasn't for Inferno. He felt relieved each time more of his body was recreated. A few hours later, his body was renewed. It was several times better than before.

The blood that flowed within his body now closely resembled magma. If he was ever wounded, a fire would come out and hurt anyone near him.

The competition ended when everyone stopped to improve their bloodline.

Instead of feeling happy about this year's Younger Generation Competition, the Third Ancestor was worried. He had already received a lot of inquiries from the other Heaven Mages about Veronica's origin.

Unfortunately, even he couldn't tell them where this little demon came from. pan(da-n0vel.c)om

"What a waste of talent," he muttered.

He could only wait and detain these people to interrogate them. It wasn't obvious on the surface, but the demons were still hated, especially in the Ignis Clan.

As one of the three great clans, many would come to them to ask for help whenever the demons tried to invade. As a result, they suffered many casualties.

Many of their potential heaven mages were also killed by demons.

"What's going on?" Ember asked.

The Third Ancestor walked towards them with a solemn look in his eyes. Ember immediately felt that something was wrong. She grabbed Aleshia and the others behind her.

"Stay here and don't move, or I will be forced to act," the Third Ancestor said.

"What is going on here," Paeia asked from the side.

He was the only one here that knew the Third Ancestor's real identity. The Third Ancestor nodded his head at him.

"They are related to demons."

The Third Ancestor's words shocked Paeia. The eyes which he used to look at them changed. He immediately became hostile.

"Father!" Ember exclaimed.

"Ember, you will have to explain yourself to the clan," he coldly replied.

He didn't say anything further and stood behind them. He was ready to stop them from leaving. The demons weren't allowed to infiltrate the Ignis Clan. That was one of the oldest teachings in the clan. 𝐟re𝐞w𝐞𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝚎𝒍.c૦𝚖

The pure bloodline of the Ignis shouldn't be tainted by the evil blood of the demons.

Veronica and the others returned to their mother's side with faces full of confusion.

Ember could only tell them to relax and wait for their father to return. The onlookers glanced at the scene with confusion on their faces.

They weren't able to hear what the Third Ancestor said because he used his magic to send his voice directly to Paeia's ears. The rumors behind Lawrend grew even more absurd. No one truly knew what was true or fake.

"Master, please come and save us…" Aleshia murmured and prayed.

Ramiela and the others were pissed. They wanted to fight back, but Ember stopped them. The old man, or the Third Ancestor, hadn't done anything to them yet.

If they made a scene, it would be very bad for them. She could only pin her hope on Lawrend. He would surely come soon and save them.

The Third Ancestor was surprised that they were obedient. He thought that he would be forced to reveal his secret identity so soon. His impression of them improved slightly.

…

Down below, Lawrend still hadn't finished. His bloodline was changing very dramatically. He wasn't a pure Ignis Clan member so a lot of his bloodline was discarded.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A dark bloodline appeared out of nowhere and assaulted the pure liquid fire mana bloodline. Its appearance was as black as ink. It hit the pure Ignis clan blood and turned it into normal red blood.

The pain was different this time as Lawrend felt every inch of his body and even his soul hurt. It was not only his bloodline that was changing. Two of his bloodlines were fighting with each other.

"What the hell is this!?" Lawrend shouted in disbelief.

The black bloodline was familiar to him.
