SSS Rank: Limitless Extraction With 10,000x System

Chapter 99: 99 | Bloodline Ignition & Death!?

[Jk: I told my wife to embrace her mistakes.]

The elite saber-toothed tiger threw back its head and let out a terrifying roar.

"ROOOOOOOAR!"

An invisible soundwave exploded across the forest as it activated its skill, Earth-Shattering Roar.

The ripples swept through the battlefield. Everyone instantly froze. John. Lucy. Jasmine. Klen. Michael. Andrew.

Every single one of them became completely immobilized. Their muscles refused to obey. Their minds remained conscious, but their bodies had turned into statues.

And the shocking thing was that the stun would last exactly three second. Three second against an elite beast was an eternity.

The tiger’s crimson eyes burned with murderous fury. Its gaze locked onto Michael.

The Guardian had been the one firing at its cubs and intending to kill them.

Its killing intent erupted into a massive rage. The beast disappeared, leaving only a crimson blur across the battlefield.

"Whoosh!"

Its gigantic claw tore through the air toward Michael’s skull and If it connected, his face would collapse and his head would turn into meat paste.

Michael’s pupils contracted. He wanted to raise his shield. He wanted to dodge. He wanted to do anything to avoid the death blow, but he couldn’t as his body refused to move.

Him and the others could only watch helplessly as the claw lowered.

"Whoosh!"

The claw struck dow with astonishing force.

Just as the claw was inches away from crushing Michael’s head, a blur came from the side and slammed into the tiger’s ribs.

"BOOM!"

The impact sent the enormous beast staggering sideways. Its claws missed Michael’s face by barely an inch.

The person who struck it was also blasted backward several meters by the tremendous recoil.

Dust filled the battlefield. When the smoke settled, everyone’s eyes widened. Who was that humanoid monster?

It was Andrew.

He stood between Michael and the tiger in his transformed state, the Wild Magus form.

"What?!" John’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He wasn’t stunned? Impossible. Earth-Shattering Roar stunned everything within its range.

Unless someone possessed an ability that completely negated mental and physical control effects.

Andrew four fists clenched the sword in his hand as blood dripped from the beast’s body.

He had struck the beast skull but it actually dodged making him onto stab its shoulder.

Andrew’s eyes remained calm.

His title, [204th New God], combined with the Primordial Magus Bloodline, rendered him almost immune to negative status effects.

Fear. Paralysis. Confusion. Stun. None of them could restrain him. That single immunity had just saved Michael’s life.

But Andrew’s strike had only bought time. Less than half a second. The tiger recovered almost instantly. It turned toward Andrew instead. Its blood-red eyes radiated pure killing intent.

But at this moment, Andrew no longer looked human.

He had transformed into his Primordial Magus Bloodline. Currentl, he was standing at over three meters tall with dark skin, powerful muscles bulging beneath his body and massive long hair dancing wildly behind him.

His crimson eyes glowed with savage light and he looked less like a man and more like an ancient barbarian born for war.

Earlier, he had already activated Berserk. Combined with his bloodline transformation, his physical strength had increased nearly fivefold.

Yet Andrew knew that against a Level Thirty-One elite beast, who had already reached Rank 2, it wasn’t close to enough.

If Heaven-Collapsing Punch were available, this battle might already be over when he caught it off guard.

Unfortunately, its seven-day cooldown had only partially expired. There were still four days remainin which meant he couldn’t use it.

In that split second, the tiger suddenly vanished again.

Its claws screamed through the air.

"Too fast!" Andrew’s face paled slightly. His eyes coudont track the beast at all but luckily, his Omniscient Perception could predict every trajectory and movement it took.

However, his reaction speed wasn’t nearly enough, he needed more power and only one option remained.

Bloodline Ignition.

It was a forbidden technique and every activation damaged one random organ.

Even Andrew couldn’t predict which part of his body would be sacrificed. His heartbeat thundered but there was no time to hesitate.

"Bloodline Ignition."

A terrifying surge of power erupted from deep within his body.

"Bang!"

Something below erupted and the next instant, pain exploded through his lower abdomen.

His pupils contracted violently as his crotch felt as though it had exploded from the inside.

An indescribable pain flooded every single nerve in his body. Veins bulged across his dark skin as his face twisted violently.

Any ordinary person would have collapsed screaming. But Andrew merely gritted his teeth. His E-Rank Pain Resistance dulled the unbearable agony just enough for him to remain conscious. He shoved the pain to the back of his mind.

Raw power, violent and berserk ripped through his body in waves as it flooded every muscle in his body.

"Whoosh!"

The elite saber-toothed tiger flashed before him as its crimson claws descended toward his neck with enough force to split a mountain. Andrew narrowed his glowing eyes. In that life-and-death instant, he issued a single command inside his mind.

"System, upgrade my sword to legendary."

[Ding!]

*System: Cost 2 investment points to upgrade to legendary grade.*

Andrew didn’t hesitate. "Do it."

[Ding! Investment Points deducted. Black Iron Sword has evolved into a Legendary-grade weapon.]

The sword looked exactly the same. There wasn’t even the slightest visual change. Only a string of notifications floated before his eyes.

His strength increased instantly by 20 stat points, his agility by 15, and his physique by 10.

The tiger disappeared. Andrew’s eyes couldn’t follow it, but his Omniscient Perception could. His EX-Rank Danger Sense screamed inside his mind. [Behind!]

Andrew instantly activated the skill he got from the King Wolf King [Mist Transformation]

Instantly, his entire body transformed into a mist. The tiger’s claws tore through the cloud of mist a fraction too late. A shallow wound opened across Andrew’s shoulder. Blood splashed through the air. It wasn’t entirely fatal.

His Mist Transformation immediately entered cooldown.

The instant he reformed, blue flames exploded across his sword.

"Violent Strike!"

Hundreds of flaming sword phantoms appeared behind him.

The tiger charged directly toward him. Yet Andrew didn’t slash straight ahead. Instead, he swung toward empty air on his left.

’Clang!’

The tiger materialized exactly there. Its claws collided with Andrew’s blade as a massive force collided directly into Andrew.

"Boom!"

Andrew’s entire body was sent flying backwards like a cannonball.

[Ans: Why did she hug me instead?]
