Chapter 67 Bloodline Phantom

When the pressure on Hilda vanished, and her feet returned to normal, her first thought was to retreat and vanish into the sea of skeletons and then find her uncle and report the presence of an 'Epic being' in this place.

However, she suddenly felt a familiar feeling; it was the same feeling she felt whenever she used her magic and was in the process of battle, the feeling of destruction!

She instantly looked ahead and saw the feeling coming from the same young man, who was now grinning at her slyly. She was bewildered as she suddenly felt closer to him, unlike anyone else.

Cyrus was quite pleased with Hilda's bewildered eyes as he said, "If you choose to follow me, you will be able to do this very soon."

The next moment, Cyrus's eyes suddenly shimmered in grayish light before he uttered while looking at the incoming sea of skeletons.

"Golden spell, Utter Destruction!"

The next moment Cyrus clapped his hands, creating a crisp sound.

'Clap~'

An invisible shock wave suddenly materialized from the point where he clapped his hand except for flabbergasted Hilda. It enveloped the entire skeleton sea.

Under Hilda's gobsmacked look, all those skeletons suddenly stopped their charge, and the next moment, they started to turn into dust just like they turned into dust by her attacks.

This was a huge blow to her because she always thought that this thing was unique to her, and she was quite proud of it. However, now someone else had done it and even done it without any effort at all and far better than hers.

Something else happened at this moment; the dust suddenly started to vanish as if it had never existed, leaving her in awe.

However, Cyrus knew why that dust vanished as, unlike Hilda, he could see a huge torrent of sparkling particles coming.

He had almost used all this Qi to use this destruction element spell, and these particles came at the right time to replenish his energy. Or he would never have used this spell to show off and leave himself vulnerable. He was counting on those particles.

The system's voice rang at this moment,

_____

[You have killed 21,483 Undead]

-Reward(s):

-SP: 5000

[Spirit Points (SP): 10,000/10,000]

_____

Cyrus pursed his lips when he saw so many SP would get wasted again. Still, his nebulas Qi was now getting replenished at terrifying speed. While he also achieved his goal, so it was worth it.

He looked at Hilda, who was still in a daze, and grinned, "Now, give me your answer. Are you willing to follow me, or still want to waste your potential? Whichever you choose, you will not get another chance. I can promise you that."

Cyrus was serious when he saw the last part. He would really leave Hilda alone if she didn't know what was better for her and couldn't see the bigger picture.

Hilda snapped out of her stupor at this moment as she looked around herself. That sea of skeletons was now completely gone, and all that happened because of one single clap of this young man. She had never even heard that someone was capable of this feat, even in dimensions.

Even if they were, she was not qualified to know; no, the entire humanity wasn't qualified to know yet as they were still not strong enough.

Most importantly, this person used the same type of method as her to demonstrate that he knew the secret behind her special ability and could help her master it. She could still feel that extremely pleasant energy around the area, which made her feel cozy.

"Are you a human?" She asked with uncertainty.

Cyrus cocked an eyebrow at this strange question and coolly replied, "Of course I am. Do you disdain to follow a human?"

Hilda instantly blurted, "Impossible!"

Cyrus was speechless, "Why is it impossible?"

"Because our bloodline can't produce someone as powerful as you with just pure human bloodline. Not without having a special dimension bloodline. Do you think I'm an idiot?" Hilda instantly denied it.

Cyrus's eyes turn cold at this moment, "I don't have time to bicker with you. You are just a frog in a well. I don't know what those dimensions have told you, but the human race is one of the most powerful races in the universe. So, just give me your answer, and I'll be on my way."

Hilda was speechless as well as felt enraged when he called her a frog. Still, she knew the party was not to be messed with, and if not for the fact that she wanted to know about destruction energy, she would've rejected him without hesitation.

So, she decided on another approach, "It's not like I don't want to follow you, but I can't. I have the Silver Winged Dimension's bloodline and can never betray them. How about you sell me that method? I'm sure the Silver Winged Dimension can satisfy…."

However, before she could finish speaking, Cyrus cut her short in an icy voice, "Heh, so you are not pure-blood human and a hybrid. That explains why you insist that I'm not a pure-blooded human. How about this, if I prove I'm a pure-blooded human, are you willing to discard your loathsome dark silver-grade hybrid bloodline and return to being human?

"However, if you still decide to question me after that, I'll kill you right here and now to let you see just how powerful a human can be."

Hilda felt her heart palpitate as she could now feel she had angered Cyrus, but still, she felt it was impossible for a pure-blooded human to be as strong as Cyrus. Because it has become an unchangeable mentality in their society that if you want to grow strong, acquire a strong bloodline.

She inhaled sharply and nodded, "Alright! If you can get rid of my dimension bloodline, I will be free to follow you anyway."

Cyrus nodded before forwarding his hand toward Hilda, "Take my hand, and you'll know if I'm pure human or not."

Hilda squinted her eyes uncertainly but didn't back down as she knew if Cyrus wanted to kill her, he could without playing any tricks. Besides, she really wanted to know if the human bloodline was really superior or now.

Because her dimension bloodline stopped her from following another path and Cyrus was superior to her current bloodline, she didn't have anything to lose but everything to gain.

Cyrus took Hilda's cold yet soft hand, and a hint of shock flashed past his eyes, but he hid it and said coolly, "I'm about to cast a spell that will manifest our bloodline's phantoms. You will be able to see the difference."

Hilda nodded solemnly.

'Bronze Secret Spell, Bloodline Phantom!'

For the first time, Cyrus cast a secret spell which was akin to casting three golden spells together because it was not related to natural elements but natural rules!

These spells were also known as forbidden spells because casting these spells without prior knowledge of the rules was akin to playing with fatal poison with bare hands.

At this moment, Hilda suddenly had a strange current circulated through her entire body, and something deep inside her seemed to have stirred because of it.

Before she could react, she saw on the back of her right hand, which was held by Cyrus, a silver tattoo of two wings appeared, and she was too familiar with this symbol.

However, what happened next made her even more shocked because the silver-winged symbol started to shimmer brightly before a corporeal figure started to form.

When it was finished forming, it was a beautiful tiny silver bird with gem-like blue eyes.

"So, your bloodline originates from Silver Bird of Prey. But by your reaction, you seemed to didn't even know this and probably got this bloodline from Silver Bird of Prey's decedents. Still, its potential is only of a mortal bird." Cyrus disdainfully sneered.

Hilda was speechless as she looked at that tiny silver bird and then disdainful Cyrus, "Is this really the background of my dimension bloodline?"

Cyrus nodded in affirmative, "Yes, it's a magic beast that can transform into human form."

Hilda's eyes shimmered with confusion as she didn't understand a word Cyrus said and asked, "Then what about you?"

Cyrus smiled mysteriously and pointed his finger at his forehead, drawing Hilda's attention. Her eyes went wide as she saw Cyrus's glabella shimmer before a cross-legged humanoid tattoo in half crimson and half purple appeared.

The very next moment, a half-crimson and half-purple figure started to materialize above Cyrus. It was a silhouette of a human who was sitting cross-legged, and his appearance was completely blurry.

He gives off a dignified aura filled with cosmic mysteries which could make any kneel in reverence and fear. However, the silhouette's blurry face started to become clearer, and an extremely handsome human appeared.

Hilda was in a daze because it was non-other than Cyrus himself, and his phantom was ten-meter-tall while hers was too tiny in comparison.

Cyrus coldly said at this moment, "A human bloodline phantom will always be an actual image of the human itself. This is the pride of being a human. Even if you think I'm playing some tricks, you will know after I get rid of this contamination from your bloodline. This weak bloodline didn't deserve you!"
