The Bloodline System

Chapter 246: Silhouette?

Gustavʼs fist still slammed into the inmateʼs chest, but he also received the full brunt of the energy attack.

Bang! Bang!

Both of them were blasted backward, and cracking sounds rang out.

Gustav landed on his feet about seventy feet away from his initial position. He slid backward for a few seconds while the other inmate slammed onto the ground with his back and a broken sternum. He spat out blood and repeatedly coughed before passing out.

Gustav was back at his former position after taking that attack.

”Youʼre bleeding!” The girl who Gustav saved earlier shouted out after noticing the palm-sized hole in Gustavʼs left shoulder area.

”Iʼm fine,” Gustav voiced out as blood rolled down his arm.

ʼThese ones are truly experienced, unlike the opponents I have been facing in the past,ʼ Gustav said internally as he stared at his shoulder injury.

Even though that inmate was weaker, he still managed to injure Gustav.

Before the girl could speak another word, Gustav had already dashed forward to engage the remaining inmates.

The rest of the inmates, just like their companions, were also unable to properly follow Gustavʼs speed. This was a resultant effect of their bloodline abilities getting weakened before being thrown into Caskia ruins. However, due to their previous battle experiences, they were still able to put up a little bit of fight.

Gustav knowing that he had been careless earlier on and was getting too cocky due to his easy wins in the past, changed his viewpoint. He decided that he would handle future battles with caution from now on.

In a few, the remaining two inmates were taken down by Gustav while the group he saved just watched from the side.

They wanted to assist him when he was engaging the inmates previously, but not only were they awed by his movements, they also couldnʼt properly follow his speed, so they didnʼt know how to attack.

”Youʼre still here?” Gustav questioned from upfront where he was standing in front of the last inmate he took down.

The group was brought out of their reverie and started thanking Gustav for his help.

Gustav just nodded and asked them to leave once again.

”Why donʼt you join our group? Weʼll let you be the leader,” The girl with superhuman strength proposed.

”Hey Laura, leading is not only based on strength,” The other guy fighting beside her was not in favor of the idea.

”If it is based on weakness, why werenʼt you able to defeat those inmates yourself?” Laura asked with a tone of ridicule.

The guy felt ashamed and was about to retort when Gustav replied, ”Not interested,”

After saying that, Gustav went to grab the bodies of the inmates and stacked them together in a particular place.

”Why are you dragging them around like they are dead?” The other girl in the group who had a binocular on her right eye asked.

”Because I am going to kill them,” Gustav replied while squatting.

The entire group was shocked by Gustavʼs calmness when he mentioned killing the inmates. He sounded like taking the life of others was just a casual thing to do.

Even though these were inmates, some of them still felt Gustav shouldnʼt kill them.

-”We should give them a chance,”

-”They are serving their term already,”

Two guys from the group voiced out together.

”I also donʼt think you should kill them,” The girl with binocular said.

ʼA team of dorks... No wonder they say birds of the same feathers flock together,ʼ Gustav said internally.

”Theyʼre serving their term but did staying in here change them? Have you forgotten what they were going to do to you?” Gustav asked the girl in binocular, who shivered slightly the moment Gustav poised that question.

”Also... If you think you can stop me from killing them, youʼre free to come and try,” Gustavʼs fingers increased in length as his right hand transformed into that of the bloodwolfʼs.

The ones who didnʼt want him to kill the inmates could only watch as Gustav squatted and his claws dug into the neck of the leader of this group of inmates.

Blood trickled down the neck of the inmate as a system notification appeared in Gustavʼs line of sight.

-------------------------------------

[Requirement for Bloodline acquisition has been met]

[Analysing Host compatibility with ʼMuscle Enlargement Bloodlineʼ 0%/100%...]

[Analysis complete: 84%/100%]

[Host compatibility with ʼMuscle Enlargement Bloodline is 89%]

[Does the host desire to acquire this bloodline? Yes/No]

--------------------------------------

ʼI wonʼt leave any loopholes behind,ʼ Gustav said internally before proceeding to say yes to the bloodline acquisition.

The main reason why Gustav wanted them dead was to make sure he didnʼt leave any room for suspicions after taking their bloodlines.

Even though he could acquire their bloodlines without killing them, it would be suspicious that they were moving around without using their abilities after he defeated them.

The group was unable to stand there and keep on watching as Gustav slit the throat of each inmate after acquiring their bloodline.

Those who were against it started puking the moment they saw Gustav brutally slit the throat of the first inmate.

The girl who Gustav saved first came over to thank him again before their team left the passageway.

After Gustav acquired the four bloodlines, he stood up and proceeded to walk forward.

ʼWith these, I should be able to perform more experiments with recreation,ʼ Gustav smiled like a maniac as he moved forward.

He had wanted to try out recreation since that time, but he was unable to do so because he didnʼt want to make use of the four he had earlier.

He didnʼt see anything special in these four bloodlines, so even if they lost their original properties after recreation, he wouldnʼt be bothered.

ʼI need to find more mixedblood inmates while Iʼm looking for the stones,ʼ Gustav brought out his map and scanned through.

The Archinades didnʼt map out places where mixedblood inmates could be located. So, Gustav was trying to use the structure of the areas shown to depict places where these mixedbloods might be positioned.

Gustav remembered what the last inmate said while he was taking his bloodline.

---------------------

”Youʼre all gonna die... Even though we didnʼt get you lots, the silhouette wil... He has been freed...”

---------------------

Gustav didnʼt care about all that and still killed him afterward since he didnʼt have the time to torture him to get answers.

However, Gustav still wondered, ʼWhat did he mean? Silhouette...ʼ
