Chapter 293 - Lightning God Tower Part 14
Hearing those words, everyone shifted their gazes at Mike. They have all seen his insane healing ability. And, Lauren had revealed his bloodline name during the Atharos King Dungeon Raid. She would have never thought it would backfire Mike.
"I will give you the celestial bloodline blood essence. First, let them leave." Mike's voice was full of hostility as he spoke. He hated when people try to mess with his family.
"Don't take me as an idiot! Your words alone can't guarantee anything. First, give me your blood essence and then I will let them go." Silver King shook his head and sternly gaze at Mike. He knew his strength and he wasn't foolish enough to believe in Mike.
"Alright! But, I can't believe you either. Once I take out my blood essence, you will let them go while I will give it to Sword Demon. You know his character, right? He can send it to you." Mike didn't trust him either.
Silver King thought for a moment and nodded his head.
Mike immediately sat down on the ground and closed his eyes. The blood essence is something important to a bloodline user. Normally, the powerful people leave their blood essence as a form of inheritance.
Of course, Mike can also create his blood essence but it will only have the effect of bloodline and not his powers. He didn't understand the reason but he can guess that Silver King needs this bloodline to heal himself or someone close to him.
But, there is one little problem. Extracting the blood essence right now might hamper his bloodline growth. After all, celestial bloodline hasn't reached its full potential yet. But even so, Mike didn't hesitate to exchange it for Lucas and Olive.
Both of them were important to him, even more than the bloodline. He knows how to extract the blood essence. First, he must extract the part of the source. It is inside his sea of consciousness. He releases his spiritual sense inside the sea of consciousness and finds the celestial bloodline source at the corner.
Now, he needs to extract it. But, there is a minor problem. He needs to bear the pressure released by the bloodline while extracting it. And, he wasn't sure whether his spiritual sense was strong enough to bear that pressure or not.
"Arghhh!"
The moment he transformed his spiritual sense into himself and tried to pull the part of the source, the bloodline released an intense pain. The pain struck through his body from his sea of consciousness. A scream came out of his mouth.
"Mike!" Bing Lan and Thorn Princess shouted as they tried to move near Mike. But, Sword Demon and Max stopped them. At this moment, Mike can't be disturbed. Although they didn't know what he was doing, they knew it is something dangerous.
Bing Lan instantly realized when they were stopped and bites her lips. Unlike her, Thorn Princess tried to push them away and move forward. Unfortunately, Bing Lan stopped her and said "If Mike is disturbed right now, his consciousness will take a huge damage that might take years to recover."
Even from Mike's scream, Lucas and Olive didn't open their eyes. Both of them were incredibly low on stamina and also unconscious.
Thorn Princess turned her head at Silver King and asked "Why are you doing this? Are you trying to make him your enemy?"
Thorn Princess's words not only contained anger but also threats. Silver King had helped them against Blood Demon King. He wasn't a typical bad guy in their eyes. But, at this moment Silver King was truly using Mike's weakness to gain something.
"You might understand in future. Sometimes we are left with no choice. Either take a risk or regret it for your lifetime. I don't want to regret anything. As for being his enemy, it doesn't matter. He might be stronger now but it won't last long." Silver King spoke as he shook his head.
He knew something that others didn't. Hearing his words, they couldn't find his end goal. But, he knew he had already warned them.
"Arghhh!" Mike screams continued until he started coughing blood. His skin turned pale red and the silver hair started turning white.
"What's happening? This wasn't supposed to happen when we extract the bloodline." Bing Lan screamed when she saw his condition.
"What happened?" Sword Demon and others saw her disbelieve and asked. They could see fear in her eyes.
"He is losing his lifespan. This wasn't supposed to happen." Suddenly, Bing Lan turned her head at Silver King and asked "You know something, don't you? You knew about this. You wanted to weaken Mike."
As soon as they heard her words, everyone released their powers. They looked at Silver King as if they were ready to fight him at any given moment. Suddenly, the cage moved startling them. They got even more cautious but soon, the cage reached in front of others.
"I didn't know this would happen. You can keep the girls but they will still be inside the cage. So, don't take any unnecessary actions." Silver King warned them as turned his head at Mike. He knew this would happen rather he knew Mike would get weaken.
But, he didn't know that he would lose his lifespan. Even he didn't understand why this happened.
Actually, it had a simple answer. Mike's celestial bloodline heals everything even itself. But when source is damaged, it can only use his lifespan to heal himself. Mike could have controlled this if he wasn't injured this extent.
"Gah!" Mike coughed one more time before a red blood emerged out of his body. This blood was releasing a red energy that coats itself. With that red energy, the blood didn't get clogged in the air.
Slowly, Mike opened his eyes as well. He looked at the blood essence and sighed. He knew what was happening inside his body but he couldn't do anything to stop it. He didn't truly aged but his body showed some of its signs
He mainly lost his lifespan. It was certainly bad but he could recover it as long as he reach the higher realm. Each realm increases his lifespan by fifty years. He could easily increase it once again after reaching the Martial Grandmaster Realm.
He turned his eyes at Silver King but when he didn't see the cage, he instantly narrowed his eyes and released his slaughter spirit. But soon, he sensed the cage near his group and took back his slaughter spirit.
"Release them!" Mike spoke as he used his spiritual sense to send the blood essence to Sword Demon. Silver King threw a metallic ball and said "Contain the blood essence inside it and pass it to Sword Demon!"
"Alright!" Mike nodded his head and put the blood essence inside it. As soon as he does that, his spiritual sense control gets blocked. He tightly holds the ball and says "Now, release them!"
Silver King nodded his head and released them. Mike used the Space Law to teleport them in his arms while he threw the ball at the Sword Demon. He hurriedly check their condition and used the Ten Thousand Poison Spell.
This not only works as a poison but also heals others. He found they were injured but still safe. The only problem was their stamina. Silver King got his hands on the metallic ball and saluted at Mike.
"I hope you can survive now!"
As soon as his words rang on their ears, everyone regained their vigilant. Mike instantly used his space law to scan everything around him.
Clap! Clap!
"Space Law, Lightning Law, Fire Law, immense physical strength, unique abilities and strange modes. If I wasn't clever enough to defuse your modes, I would've been foolish to fight you in this world." Suddenly, the cold voice rang on their ears.
Sword Demon, Max, Thorn Princess instantly recognized this voice while Mike and Bing Lan remained clueless. But, Mike had the hunch that this voice belong to that person.
"So, this was the part of your plan. Weakening me and then attacking me!" Mike snorted as he held both of them in his arms and send them back to his Inner World. Seeing their disappearing out of nowhere even stunt him.
"I guess I still underestimated you." The man slowly appeared in others view as he spoke. This man was known other than Blood Demon King, standing tall and handsome. He was a devil in angel's face.
"I guess you have a lot to know more about me. And, I can finally take revenge for Luke." Mike turned his head at the young man standing next to Blood Demon King and spoke. The murderous intent flashed on his eyes and the slaughter spirit erupts out.
"Are you sure we should fight right now? You are not in better condition and don't forget that guy name Mantle next to Blood Demon King also has the strength equal to Max." Sword Demon slowly approached Mike from behind and spoke.
"Yes, we are going to fight," Mike spoke but suddenly a sword pierced through his stomach.
Splash!
