Chapter 197 [Royal Bloodline Arts]

Looking around her, Shaman was not sure if what was happening was a good thing. The light that came from the circle attracted the attention of Silver and Clara.

Silver rushed out of his room to see what was happening and Clara had come out of the bath still wet with a towel wrapped around her.

"What the hell is going on?!" Clara called out, panicking about the sudden commotion.

"Don't worry, everything is fine…. I think." Shaman showed that she was okay for the time being and waited for what was going to happen next. Elysia looked in awe as the symbols on the magic circle looked familiar, but she wasn't able to figure out why.

The magic circle then began to spin and rise from the ground. Shaman felt her body tingle as it passed through her, unsure what was happening to her body.

Another thing that occurred when the circle passed through her body, was that fur started covering her body just like Elysia. Snow white fur with black tips now covered her skin, and when the circle finally finished passing through the entirety of her body, she was in her own new hybrid fox form.

After the transformation was complete, the ends of her hair suddenly turned into her stardust element, as if there were small galaxies at the ends of her hair. By now everyone watching was utterly captivated.

"Oh wow, this feels amazing." Shaman looked at herself and did a small twirl trying to get a feel for the form.

[You have successfully created your own bloodline]

[Royal bloodline arts unlocked]

[Anyone who's part of your family will be able to acquire these skills, but they will take on a form relevant to their element]

[Due to consuming the blood of the Dahlia family you have inherited their skills and Since your bond with Elysia is that of a lover she will also gain the benefits of your bloodline]

Reading through the system messages, Shaman then looked up to Elysia who also received one.

"Well, I wasn't expecting this." Elysia was surprised to see she now had new benefits and wondered if Silver got something similar.

Clara saw that everything was fine, so she slowly backed away since she only had a towel covering her body and needed to get changed.

"Phew, it wasn't anything bad."

Silver walked up to Shaman and confirmed he also got a system notification as he was her son.

"Mother, I also got the bloodline arts." Silver looked up to Shaman questioningly, looking for an answer as to what it meant for him.

"Haha great, let me go back to my human form before I look into the skill." Shaman wanted to test it out before their next visit to the dungeon, but preferred to test them first in her humanoid form.

Once back to normal, Shaman opened up her system to get a better look at the skill.

[Royal Bloodline arts]

Various skills will be unique only to you and your family members. Because of your royalty status, a variant was created and all derived skills have been enhanced to be purer.

[Hybrid transformation - Stardust]

Inherited from the Dahlia family, you will transform into a hybrid state with heightened physical strength that resembles more the fox side of your race. The element stardust is enhanced and mana consumption is reduced.

[Full transformation - Stardust Fox]

Inherited from the Dahlia family, you will be able to transform into a beast which further increases your combat potential. However, This puts you in an irrational state and you will attack anything on sight.

Once you exit the form you will experience mana deficiency for at least 2 days.

[Unique skill - Elemental form]

Due to your ability to wield so many elements you have now been granted the ability to transform into any elemental fox. The colour of your hair will indicate which state you are in, but prolonged use will result in mana deficiency.

[Unique skill - Galaxy field]

Once activated, switch your domain to that of a galaxy that has the same properties as your stardust. This has high mana consumption so use it at your own risk.

[More skills will be unlocked and can be added if the user creates something unique. All skills can be used by other members but will be changed to fit the family members' elements.]

"That was a lot." Shaman went over to the couch to sit down while showing the screen to Elysia and Silver to see. Elysia and Silver also made their way over reading as they sat down.

"I can see the changes it made to mine, so I can make a fire domain, but I didn't get anything similar to your elemental form." Elysia spoke out about what she had gotten and was a little disappointed she only got the domain.

"Hmm, you only wield one element so maybe it's time you get a new one and maybe it will activate? I know it said it can be added too." Shaman assumed it was the lack of elements and she knew Elysia had been wanting to get a new one but didn't know what.

"I'll ask Kiruya to help me decide, seeing as there can be pretty unique elements." Elysia, seeing the rather odd elements that could be formed, wondered if it was possible to create one.

"Well, I will leave that to you. Silver, is it the same for you?" Shaman assumed Silver had a shadow variant of the skills.

"Mhm, I can also go into a hybrid Wolf form, but it's greyed out because my body is not able to handle the current skill.

"Damn what a way to say wait until you are older." Shaman giggled a little bit but found it understandable as Silver was technically just a teenager.

[His looks and age correlate to his level, so maybe once he reaches tier 6 he will be able to look a bit older.] Rea jumped in as Silver's existence is rather unique.

"Wait so once he is tier 10 he will be an old man?" Shaman froze for a moment as something felt incredible wrong with having Silver look older.

[No, no, he will still look young, but there will be accelerated maturity so probably early twenties when he reaches tier 10.]

"Phew I still keep my innocent boy for a bit longer." Shaman let out a sigh of relief as well Elysia.

"Hehe, I can't wait." Silver wanted to grow up and so knowing that it was linked to his level, he was even more determined to climb higher.

"Anyway with that sorted, looks like we have become a bit more connected. I wonder if Clara can fall under this family association." Shaman wanted everyone to be able to get access to the skills as it would be a big boost to their power.

"Hmm that will be a tricky one unless…" Elysia once again thought about accepting Clara into their relationship, but as it crossed her mind, her obsessive feelings welled up and the urge to kill came back.

'Looks like that one is still a work in progress.' Elysia needed to have a chat with Clara and try to tackle the feelings she had, but was afraid of hurting Clara.

"Unless?" Shaman was curious about what Elysia was thinking about as for a moment she had the same look she got when thinking about murder.

"O-oh nothing, just trying to think, but I came up with nothing." Not wanting to reveal her thoughts as she assumed it would make Shaman angry, Elysia came up with an excuse.

"Hmm fine, but if you come up with something please tell me." Shaman instantly knew what Elysia was thinking as the look said everything, but Shaman did not want to invade her privacy.

"Mhm." Elysia nodded as the door that led to the bedrooms opened.

"What happened? I saw this blue light, but I-I was too scared to come out." Elanor had come out of her room still cautious.

"Oh don't worry I just picked up a new skill and we were just going through them." Shaman explained what had happened and Elanor seemingly relaxed.

"That's a relief, well seeing as you have gotten a new skill, do you plan on going to the dungeon now?" Elanor fidgeted a little nervous as the last time she was left alone, she was kidnapped.

"We will probably stay here for one more day and tomorrow we will continue our raids, so don't worry we are not leaving you alone just yet." Shaman was able to tell Elanor's anxiousness and, knowing Elysia was most likely still under the effects of mana deficiency, Shaman didn't mind taking one last day off.

"I'm glad." Elanor held her hand to her chest and sat down with everyone, happy that she won't be alone.

Clara had also finished her bath and came out in her casual clothes asking a similar question. Being told the same thing, Clara was rather happy as it gave her more time to sleep. However, feeling a bit social she laid down on one of the couches to listen in on whatever they were talking about.
