Blood Evolution System

The moment the ghastly monster\'s marble-like heart went down his throat and into his stomach, the badly damaged demonic heart that had taken roots in the pits of his stomach released a strong suction force.

"Fuck!"

It was so strong that he felt his stomach contracting. He felt pained. Thankfully, after pulling the monster\'s heart towards itself and devouring it, the demonic heart stopped releasing the suction force.

King Wrath barely felt at ease when a contorted expression appeared on his face.

Misfortune always strikes in pairs!

"Shit!"

Right after, King Wrath felt searing pain all over his body. It was as if someone was using a hot hammer to smash every inch of his body again and again. He didn\'t know how long he had to endure this pain. But when he stopped feeling it, sweat covered him from head to toe, and he felt wriggling all over his body.

What could it be?

King Wrath hurriedly took off his clothes and also pulled out a mirror from his spatial storage device. Reflected in the mirror was a beautiful man with pale white skin and inky, black eyes. His hair reached his waist, and he had well-defined muscles all over his body. All in all, he looked like a popular idol who had fans all over the galaxy. It was just that he had a mask covering half his face, and there were black veins mixed with his blue ones.

King Wrath\'s brows furrowed when he saw black lines that had suddenly appeared all over his body after the pain died down.

"What are those?" His eyes squinted, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.

The first thing that came to his mind was that these lines seemed awfully similar to inscription patterns and magical symbols. And both those things become effective after a person pours energy into them. So, he decided to direct energy out of his energy channels and into the black lines.

King Wrath was already a peak-level expert. He not only had all of his energy channels opened and connected together into the shape of a circuit, but he also had a supernatural core which indicated that a person had stepped into the advanced evolutionary phase. It was easy for him to control the energy in his body without doing anything special. The tainted mana entered the black lines, and the moment he lost a thousand units of it, his figure started to turn blurry. He didn\'t enter the dark world, but he did blend with the world, becoming invisible to the naked eye.

He determined that he was invisible because even though he was standing before a mirror, it didn\'t show his reflection.

"Damn, this skill is too good for assassination."

King Wrath packed up and dressed up. Then, he hurriedly made his way out of the monster tower. He was willing to give up on the 16th floor. He was already glad that he managed to get the demon\'s heart, seal it, and also escape the notice of the owner of the place and her subordinate. He didn\'t want anything else. He also was worried that if he kept them waiting, then they might think that something had gone wrong, and that might result in Melody conducting an investigation. And that might expose the event that had taken place in the monster tower and expose that he was a basilisk!

He didn\'t want anyone to know that he was one.

After all, if that happened, he wouldn\'t be able to stay at the academy any longer, and he needed to stay there to get the demon\'s left arm as well as remain underground.

King Wrath grouped up with Vincent and the others. They asked what took him so long. He hadn\'t prepared a script, but he was a casual liar and expert manipulator. It didn\'t take more than a couple of seconds for him to come up with an excuse that actually sounded believable. He told them that he wasn\'t able to access his spatial storage device just like all of them, which he definitely could as he was powerful enough to uplift the restrictions imposed by the rules of the monster tower. He also added that as he couldn\'t use his weapons and auxiliary items, his combat ability decreased by a considerable margin. And that\'s why it took him so long only to reach the 16th floor.

"If there weren\'t such ridiculous rules, I would\'ve certainly climbed higher." He said in a voice full of regret and held his shoulders low.

His acting was perfect, and everyone believed that he was feeling down.

"You\'re still better than us. We didn\'t even get to the double digits and dropped out of the tower after climbing a few floors." Nevis discredited himself to uplift King Wrath\'s spirit.

What a silly child, King Wrath thought to himself.

"What about you?" King Wrath looked towards the other child who certainly had his attention.

"I conquered it," Vincent replied with a smile.

"I did expect that to happen, but it still fills me with disbelief that you managed to do what many failed to do." King Wrath praised the young man.

"Glad to have lived up to your expectations."

Vincent smiled in response. Seeing him smiling, a smile also blossomed on Leilani\'s face. Since her man was happy, why wouldn\'t she be too?

Melody returns after a while. By his time, Iron Clad Lady was no more. There was sadness in Melody\'s eyes, but she hid it behind a vast and fake smile.

"Follow me."

She took them to the treasury hall, which was only a portal away.

After stepping through the portal, Vincent and the others find themselves in a vast room.

Treasure filled it!

There were mountains of gold and other materials. Vincent also saw several huge chunks of meteorites. All of them were anti-gravity items that he could use to create hovercraft and spaceships!

Then, there were many racks with weapons in them. Some shelves with accessories in them. And lastly, many pieces of equipment sat on the ground, waiting for someone to pick them up.

Each and every single thing here was good enough to set a person for life!
