Chapter 338 - Gathering The Power Back

-Summer 15, years 430-

It has been more than one and half months since Desmond and his group ran from the pursuit of North Kingdom soldiers. On this day, Desmond finally reached the blue dots, which should be Felix and his subordinates.

Looking at the vast desert plain under the scorching hot summer season, the group was speechless. There was no sand, but some plants with great survivability in the desert, such as Saguaro Cactus, Golden Barrel Cactus, and many variants of cactus, could be seen scattering everywhere.

Laura and Annie's faces looked ugly when they saw the land that lacked water and burning with the hotness underneath the sun.

"They are stupid, choosing this place as a refugee," Desmond spoke in disdain. He could feel the ice on his sister's body begin to melt.

Laura and Annie nodded at his words. They could not help but also complain inwardly at Felix and those people choosing the worst place among the beautiful land from their opinion.

On the other hand, Desmond glanced at the corner of his view, found most of the blue dots were gathered at one point. It seems there was no choice not to go.

"When they are fleeing, did you see a mage among them?" Desmond asked his maid. Water keeps dropping from the ice block on his back. Cleary indicates how hot the temperature was in this land which is impossible for his condition right now.

"We did not see any, young master. Most of them are 2nd class swordsmen with a couple of 1st class swordsmen. Felix did not recruit any maids or servants of mage. He said those mages are unwilling only to become a mere servant."

"Almost all of the maids were killed back then. Some survivors choose to return to their village," Annie added. Even she that usually cold to anything, looked sad. It seems both of them already made a few friends when he was tested in the academy.

"This is bad," Desmond frowned. If there were no mages among Felix's group, that meant he needed to walk and inform them manually. It was not a troublesome task, but now he was carrying his sister on his back.

What if the ice suddenly melted and the injured on her body become worsened? Leaving to his maids also is not the best option. They were too weak to protect themselves.

Status, Desmond commanded.

When Desmond saw his stats, he was dumbfounded. Only now did he realize why his body seemed to be more durable and have more stamina in the past days.

Although he could feel the sudden power increment on his body, he could not fasten his pace, or he would leave his maids behind. Carrying his sister was already too much for him. It was not possible to place his maids on top of the ice.

How much gain did I get from those wolves? He thought and simultaneously commanded the system.

[

System Conclusion: The host has been absorbed in a total of 100 Beasts. From 1x Husk king, 70x Dire Wolves, and 30x Husk Wolves. These beasts range from the young to the elder.

From absorbing, the host got +62.00 energy in total, with additional stats being +44, including strength and agility.

That is a lot! Now I can even defeat that city lord without activating overpower skill! But, why is there no sudden pain like in the past?

Desmond could vividly remember, when his body got massive power in a short time, there would always be a sudden pain, indicating his organs could not adapt to this sudden power. However, it has already been more than fifteen days, but he is still fine!

[

System Conclusion: The dragon blood on the host body has strange and unique. It could fasten the body's regeneration speed and also make the muscle adapt to the situation. Regardless of any power the host got in the future, the blood will always help the host.

"Young master!" Suddenly, when Desmond was still in his happiness, Laura's voice disrupted his mind. He regained back his sense and stared at her.

"What?" The moment he said those words, he did not realize his neck that restrained his aura already broken a long time ago. Now the pressure and the atmosphere he gave was pressed against the pitiful Laura.

"*hiks*" Laura screamed, and her body unconsciously fell. She was shivering. The fear on her gaze reflected the current appearance of her young master state. His pupil had already turned into a slit. The magenta color around the pupil began emitting a glow.

At that moment time, Annie also reacted. She was helping Laura, who was on the ground, and stared at her young master. "Young master, please control yourself. The young lady is dying," Annie spoke earnestly. The sweat on her forehead could not hide her pale face with her hands were holding Laura was trembling.

As soon as the word of his sister was ringing on his mind, Desmond's slit pupil turned back to normal. The glow also dimmed down. The next moment, he could feel intense pain in his mind, full of the killing intent and the thing to devour the entire human.

"Ugh," Desmond groaned in a low tone. He was holding his head with both hands.  The ice block on his back was dropping and making a small pool on this dry land.

[Detected the dragon blood is trying to control the host mind!]

[Starting to eliminate the threat!]

[Threat has been successfully eliminated!]

The next moment after those notifications filled his view, the pain on his mind reduced until it vanished. He now could control back his mind.

The first thing he did was look at his maids." Sorry about before. Annie, can you go and tell Felix and the rest of the group to come here?" sitting on the ground, Desmond spoke at glanced at Annie while still massaging his forehead.

*swoosh*

Before Annie could ask about the location, her young master waved his hand. He was creating a small oval using an earth element with a detailed miniature on it. There was a blue dot on a specific spot with a white dot not far from it.

"The white is ours, while the blue is Felix, understand? Also, you will need this for your survivability," Desmond spoke.

After he regained his peak condition, Desmond manipulated his control toward elements, making many water bubbles that hovered beside Annie. At the same time, his other hand was seen freezing the ice on his back.

Without needing extra words, Annie bowed, followed by those flying bubble waters beside her. The moment she left with the hovering bubble waters, those bubbles turned into an ice potion that contained water inside of it.
