Reborn as a Devouring Dragon with a System-Chapter 45: Blood Dragon (Vampiric Dragon)

A silver-haired young man with piercing silver eyes, a young boy with black hair and golden eyes holding three rabbits—two were purple while one was gray—and a young lady whose clothes were in tatters, her hair scattered, and if one looked closely, marks could be seen on her wrists.

This group of people stood in front of a house that looked secluded from the others. The house had a nice structure but reeked of ancientness.

The young lady’s eyes were already soaked with tears as they walked toward the entrance of the house. She opened the door, and behold—Drake saw the scene of two dead bodies lying on the ground.

Their faces were so young: a blonde-haired young man and a black-haired young woman. But what surprised Drake was the fact that their faces still looked as young as mortals. As Drake entered the house, he felt a bad feeling from this.

The female receptionist knelt beside the corpses that lay on the floor of the house’s living room. One thing that shocked Drake was the fact that there was no bloodstain.

Drake looked at Kaidros, who also looked at him. It seemed both of them found this suspicious. They looked around and saw broken things scattered throughout the house.

"Abyssal Devouring Dragon Eye."

Drake activated his ocular ability as he looked at both corpses. When he used it to check their bodies, he could see that there were no bone fractures or injuries inflicted.

"Lizzy," Drake said, "you said it was some delinquents who beat up your parents, cracking every bone in their bodies, right?"

Lizzy, the name of the female receptionist, replied, "Yes, they did," she said through tears.

This shocked and confused Drake because what she said wasn’t matching what he was seeing at all.

He continued scanning the corpses until he paused, noticing something that made him stop. There were no hearts in them.

He looked at their chest areas and saw that they hadn’t been pierced to extract the hearts—but in a fantasy world, anything can happen.

"Lizzy, are you sure your parents’ hearts weren’t taken?" Drake asked deeply.

"No, they weren’t!" Lizzy cried out loud, becoming somewhat somber.

"I wonder why their hearts are missing then," Drake muttered. Although it wasn’t directed at her, the words didn’t escape Lizzy’s ears. The moment she heard them, her tears vanished, and she looked at Drake with a frightened expression.

"Let’s move away from here," she said quickly.

Her sudden change in attitude shocked Drake and Kaidros, who both wondered what had caused it.

"What happened?" Drake asked in a deep voice.

"I don’t know, but my parents said that if I ever found them dead with their hearts missing, I should run for it," Lizzy said gravely.

Kaidros and Drake looked at one another, confused. But seeing her urgency—and knowing there would be other opportunities to deal with this—Drake nodded.

"Let’s go then."

Lizzy tried rushing in haste, but Kaidros stopped her.

"No need to rush."

Immediately after Kaidros said this, Lizzy felt an intense light and suddenly felt as if she had passed through something.

But what she saw in front of her shocked her—the outline of the Dragon Palace, the Dragon Statue—made her a bit stiff and scared. She could feel as if they were looking at her.

Drake smiled as he brought her toward the throne room, even though the throne was far from them. He stretched his hands forward as he released the beasts.

Turning to Kaidros, "You should take them to the Dragon Gates to start the test, and those who pass should be brought to me in the pool," Drake said.

He turned to Lizzy, then said, "Follow me," which Lizzy complied with as they reached the Dragon Pool.

"This is my way of giving you strength, making you become a dragon. Do you accept?" Drake asked.

"I accept, and I am ready," Lizzy said determinedly.

When Drake heard this, he smiled. "Get into the pool."

"Yes."

Drake watched as blood soaked Lizzy, but strangely, it was absorbed by her easily. This surprised him.

Ding!

[Detecting a special blood in the human body. This unknown blood is compatible with the Draconic bloodline, which can lead to a mutated bloodline. Does Host still want to proceed? (Y/N)]

When Drake saw that it was blood this time, he was confused, but anyway, he told the system to continue.

Ding!

[Insufficient energy to continue the transmutation of the mutated Draconic bloodline.]

When Drake saw this, he realized it would be the same as before, so he added a lot of beasts to it—even more and stronger than that of Kaidros.

[Energy sufficient to proceed with the bloodline process. Beginning bloodline transmutation.]

Ding!

[Bloodline Transmutation Complete.]

When Drake heard this, he was surprised by the fact that Lizzy began to frown in pain as her body rose slightly and a blood cocoon formed around her.

SCREECH! ROAR!

The cry of a bat and the roar of a dragon shocked Drake, who watched the scene repeat itself until a roar that sounded like that of a dragon and the cry of a bat resounded.

Ding!

[A new bloodline created: Blood Dragon Bloodline (Vampiric Dragon)]

[The bloodline has become Royal Grade.]

Then the cocoon broke as a dragon was exposed before everyone’s sight. It had bat wings, its entire body was blood-red and reeked of blood. Everything about it was deeply bloody red. It had two horns and tails; its aura was shocking.

The Blood Dragon began to change form as Lizzy’s figure appeared in front of Drake, but her hair had turned blood red and her eyes were also dripping with blood. Her sides were also more developed than before.

"You will be called Lizzy Vorra," Drake said deeply.

Ding!
