Chapter 1245 Return (Part 1)

"One of the rewards for completing the tasks in the Azragoth World..."

Evan was stunned when he heard the black figure's words and finally realized that the Realm Glyphs, which had been engraving themselves inside his body ever since the Core of the Azragoth World successfully assimilated with the Primordial Shadow Realm, had long since stopped. (Chap—1218)

He had been so focused on the matter of the Bloodline Inheritance Steps that he hadn't noticed until the black figure brought it up. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What is the use of this token? And you just said this is one of the rewards, which means there are more, right?" He asked, snapping back to his senses.

"It's the Blood Token. You can use it to enter the Blood Dungeon anytime from the World Domain," The black figure replied, pointing at the token it had just given him.

"What do you mean?" Evan raised an eyebrow, puzzled by the black figure's explanation.

He couldn't understand why he would need to enter the Blood Dungeon again. He was already planning to climb to the top of the stairs before leaving the dungeon, and once he reached the top, there would be no reason to return.

The black figure seemed to grasp Evan's thoughts and shook its head. "You can't climb any further on the Bloodline Inheritance Steps for now."

"Why not?" Evan asked, his eyebrows furrowing deeply at the unexpected restriction.

"Do you think initiating the second level of Blood Assimilation is a simple matter?" The black figure asked calmly.

Evan raised an eyebrow in confusion, not understanding the implication, and waited for the black figure to explain.

However, to his disappointment, the black figure shook its head in response to his question. "I don't know where the other two fragments are. There were only two fragments of the Origin Rune Essence on Earth."

"Only two?" Evan frowned, his expression darkening. "Who placed these two fragments inside the Blood Dungeon?"

"They were already there when I first gained consciousness and received orders from the Will of Utopia to protect the Blood Dungeon," The black figure replied.

Evan fell silent, his thoughts turning to the Will of Utopia.

'Since the Will of Utopia instructed this guy to protect the Blood Dungeon, it's highly likely that it might know location of the remaining two fragments.'

As Evan mulled this over, the black figure pointed its finger toward him, causing a ball of silver-white energy to materialize and float in the air before him.

Evan examined the energy ball with a puzzled expression. He tried to analyze it using his status window, but no information appeared.

"What is this?" He asked in confusion.

"Once you use this, it will immediately increase the rank of your core by one lower level, as long as you are below Rank Five," The black figure explained. "But keep in mind, it can only help you rise by one lower level—it won't allow you to cross a major rank."

Evan's eyes lit up with surprise. "You mean if I use this now, my rank will increase from mid-level Rank Three to peak Rank Three?"

"That's correct," The black figure affirmed. "But I recommend using it after you reach mid-level Rank Four, so you can instantly become a peak Rank Four Core Evolver."

Evan nodded in agreement as he was thinking the same. Although he felt a tinge of regret that the energy ball couldn't help him cross a major rank, he was still satisfied with its potential.

'If this could have helped me cross a major rank, I would have stayed here for a few more days to reach the peak of Rank Three and then used it to instantly become a Rank Four Core Evolver...' He thought, shaking his head before focusing his attention back on the black figure.
