Chapter 53: Inner circle’s abilities (I)
Vlad’s statement about bloodlines was correct. Bloodlines are indeed a cornerstone of individual strength and identity in the new world, especially in human civilization. A powerful bloodline can accelerate advancement through the levels, grant a myriad of abilities, and enhance the strength of one’s descendants.
According to Asmael’s memories, the most powerful families in human civilization are very cautious with their bloodlines. They would not allow their descendants to mate with someone from a weak bloodline.
As for Vlad and Jormungandr having a Guardian Tier Bloodline, that was not true. Jormungandr had no bloodline at all, and Vlad’s Thunder Lord Bloodline was so thin and feeble that it could at most be considered a Mortal Tier Bloodline. The key to their power was their Depravita Racial Heritage, but revealing that would raise too many questions, and Vlad did not trust them enough to share such important and sensitive knowledge.
After that, Vlad turned to Mirena, and the woman took a deep breath before speaking to the group.
"My name is Mirena Goldstier. I am a Level 1 Mage. I do not have a bloodline, but I have a Gift named Magnetic Master. I can take control of the metal around me, and if I use my magic, I can make them accelerate and attack with great power."
Vlad had already seen the woman’s ability, but it was the first time for most of the group, and they looked at Mirena with awe. The ability to control metal with one’s mind was certainly amazing and seemed straight out of a comic book.
"Well, I am Cazan Goldstier. I am a Level 1 Warrior. I also lack a bloodline but have a Gift named Metallic Embodiment. It allows me to transform my body into living metal for a limited time. This transformation not only grants immense strength and defense but also radically enhances my physical capabilities as I can move much faster and strike with greater power."
Once again, the group was surprised by the brother and sister’s amazing Gifts. Vlad also thought the same since those Gifts had immense room for evolution, and during his transformation, Cazan had an even stronger body than him.
Of course, while Cazan’s body was stronger, that did not mean he could defeat Vlad, not to mention that such a fantastic ability was bound to consume a lot of energy.
