Unfathomable Doomsday Chapter 27

Chapter 27

27 – River Of Death

Lu Qiu had spent 10 million Despair Points without redeeming any bloodline, nor any skill …

Only just to lift the restrictions on his own bloodline.

He hadn’t got any bonuses after unfettering his bloodline; his physical const.i.tution was still about five times that of an average person, and his usual Vampire abilities also hadn’t increased by much.

There was no substantial increase in power.

But the unfettering had changed Lu Qiu’s nature.

It changed him into a True Vampire!

Previously, apart from filling his stomach, blood had no other use.

But for True Vampires, they could become stronger with just blood; they could endlessly strengthen themselves.

They were the original Vampires, or in other words, the True Vampires.

Creatures which consumed and were powered by blood; as long as there was blood, they wouldn’t die!

Lu Qiu has become such a creature.

“River of … Death?”

Lu Qiu sat back on the sofa; while looking at the hexagram imprint on the back of his hand, Lu Qiu kept repeating the name of the newly gained ability in his mind.

River of Death …

Consumed lives would usually be stored in the body rather than being regarded as food, and discarded after being digested.

When mortally wounded, the consumed lives would die instead of the Vampire’s true body

In theory, as long as there was no lack of lives to be consumed, then Lu Qiu would newer die!

As long as there was blood, an unlimited supply of blood … then Lu Qiu could keep turning the consumed lives of others into his own.

True Vampires didn’t die; even after being burned to ashes, or having their hearts pierced with wooden stakes, they would still survive.

His sister didn’t seem to have awakened this ability, that is to say, she didn’t seem to have inherited it; one cannot awaken something that wasn’t there.

The power of River of Death was not limited to this!

Lives consumed by Lu Qiu would not disappear in the true sense, they would still exist! They would keep existing inside Lu Qiu … when needed, Lu Qiu could release the lives of the dead.

Turning them into an the undead army just like the one under the command of the Lich Monarch!

As long as Lu Qiu consumed an sufficient amount of lives, then the undead would gather into a river, and trample everything in their wake.

But … these lives would exist inside Lu Qiu, meaning that Lu Qiu would receive their memories …

Lu Qiu would no longer be himself, but would rather become a part of them!

“My blood is my own, my soul is my own …” There was no way Lu Qiu would allow other souls to share his body!

“No one is permitted to possess me!”

Lu Qiu needed to maintain his ego, even if his ego had already become crazed!

“System! Is there a way to leave the lives usually stored by the River of Death outside of my body, while also not affecting its ability?”

I other words, the part with the stored lives would be split off of the body?

“Let’s do it.”

Lu Qiu didn’t fear things like splitting his soul.

But with this, he spent nearly all of his Despair Points.

The sensation of the split soul was very subtle; the small portion of the soul didn’t carry Lu Qiu’s awareness nor emotions.

After a few seconds, a small scarlet blood drop slowl

y formed above the back of Lu Qiu’s hand.

The small blood drop suspended midair was constantly swaying; its l.u.s.ter crystal clear.

This blood const.i.tuted portion Lu Qiu’s soul which was split off.

“System, what is the current count of Despair Points?”

<172,000.>

“How much is the Blood Manipulation’s Blood Transformation skill?”

<100,000 despair="" points.="" blood="" transformation:="" no="" matter="" if="" inside="" a="" living="" creature="" or="" flowing="" outside,="" blood="" inside="" the="" range="" of="" 10="" meters="" can="" instantly="" be="" absorbed="" into="" one’s="" body;="" it="" can="" be="" used="" to="" treat="" oneself.="" currently,="" the="" skill="" can="" at="" most="" be="" used="" against="" level-3="" life="" forms.="" the="" skill="" can="" be="" strengthened.="">

Just like Heart Squeeze which could only be used against ordinary people, this skill also had some restrictions.

But it didn’t matter; it saved Lu Qiu the trouble of biting others.

Lu Qiu was not a Zombie, and was rather picky when it came to the blood’s flavor. No matter whom he bit, Lu Qiu feared that he could suffer from indigestion.

Finally, after learning the skill Blood Transformation, Lu Qiu ended the contact with the System.

It was time to set out, and deal with the organization seemingly capable of developing a vaccine against the Blacklight Virus.

Lu Qiu picked up the bloodied epaulette lying on the table.

The epaulette was soaked in blood …

If the purpose of this task force was to destroy the Blacklight Virus, and it held a drug capable of suppressing the Blacklight Virus, then the task force should certainly be in a collaboration with researchers.

The blood was a clue! The blood contained a lot of information which humans usually had no access to, but Vampires had!

For instance, a person’s memory during their lifetime could be read via their blood!

The blood on the epaulette slowly followed Lu Qiu’s fair finger, and lifted into the air, before slowly flowing into the small blood pearl beside Lu Qiu.

Just like replaying a film, the memories of the owner’s recent military service were transmitted into Lu Qiu’s mind.

<137! be it="" civilians="" or="" otherwise! once="" new="" china="" federation="" gave="" the="" order,="" you="" have="" to="" pull="" the="" trigger! kill="" them!="" now!="">

His final memory ended with a pair of scarlet pupils.

Through the blood, Lu Qiu could feel the owner’s dismay during the final moments of his life.

That pair of pupils belonged to him, to the one who killed the soldier.

“Ye Fusheng?” Lu Qiu threw the epaulette which was no longer sullied with blood onto the table. In his mind, he kept recalling the appearance of a seemingly very steady middle-aged man wearing a white lab cote and rimless gla.s.ses: “He not only knew his name, but also knew his address and that he would go home for Christmas?”

Unexpectedly, it went so well.

The person researching the drug to suppress Blacklight Virus is in this city?

Lu Qiu looked out the window … additionally, he lives not far away.

“Going home for Christmas …” Lu Qiu stood up from the sofa, and went outside: “As expected, Christmas … without a pleasant surprise wouldn’t do.”

“Master?” Outside the door, Arthas leaning against the wall saw Lu Qiu going out, and she called out instinctively.

“Arthas, let’s make a guest appearance as Santa Claus.” Lu Qiu wore a perverse smile: “And deliver a present known as despair~ to a Doctor.”

Snow kept slowly falling. This time’s Christmas season would surely be livelier than previous ones.
