SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 45

Chapter 45: Keep the rewards coming

"You have proven yourself more than worthy," Varnyx continued, "but a true seeker of the Blood Path. It would be an insult to your spirit to offer you the same crude baptism the others receive."

Damon, still panting from the aftermath of the trial, blankly nodded. He couldn’t beleive what he was hearing but oh well, he would take whatever he could get. A body upgrade from a grand ritual couldn’t hurt!

[Ding! You have a new quest available]

[Quest: Rite of True Blood]

Description: You have been chosen to undergo the Rite of True Blood, a rare and prestigious ritual reserved for the future pillars of the Vampire Race. Survive the Rite and awaken a deeper connection to your bloodline.

Present three offerings: a Beast Core of Rank D or higher, a drop of elven blood and a drop of divine or holy blood.

[Ding! Do you wish to accept the quest?]

Damon quickly selected ’Yes’. Getting these offerings might be a little tricky but he wasn’t about to pass up a chance like this. Especially not when the rewards could potentially skyrocket his growth beyond anything he could achieve by normal leveling.

Still, he couldn’t help but grimace internally. A beast core of Rank D or higher? Possible. Elven blood? Tricky. He had never even seen an elf yet, let alone fought one. And divine blood? Holy blood? Wasn’t that just asking for death at his level?

Varnyx seemed to sense his hesitation and chuckled. "Fear not, young blood initiate. Grow your strength and sharpen your fangs. The blood doesn’t have to be extremely pure. Even a mixed blood would do but the higher the purity of the blood, the better would be the results."

Oh? Damon nodded.

"The world beyond this cradle is stirring and when it does, you must be ready to hunt, not be hunted. Prepare yourself and bring me good offerings. I shall personally make sure your body’s potential is unlocked."

Damon inhaled slowly and nodded. "I will do my best, Sir Varnyx."

The vampire turned to leave when he suddenly stopped and tossed a skill scroll to Damon. "Here, take this as an extra reward from my side. A vampire shouldn’t be lacking for blood no matter what the situation."

Varnyx disappeared somewhere leaving behind Damon and the skill scroll.

Damon’s heart thudded loudly. What skill scroll was this? Wait. Could he even learn from a skill scroll?

Answering his question, the skill scroll disappeared from his hand and a new notification flashed in front of him.

[Ding! You have learned the skill Blood Archive]

Blood Archive – Passive/Active Hybrid Skill (C Rank)]

Description: You can store excess blood energy into a separate blood reservoir. Stored blood can be used to instantly recover health, stamina, or trigger bloodline skills without needing fresh blood intake.

Passive Effect: 10% of blood energy gained from feeding or combat is automatically stored.
