Death… And Me

Chapter 2534 Bloodline Traces

?Suddenly, Lotar began to change, taking his own angel form. Itʼs just that his wings werenʼt white like others but a mix of Dark and Red instead. ”Alright, close your eyes and concentrate on that feeling in your body.”

Aelrie nodded and closed her. Following that, Lotar touched her forehead, sending that Dark and Red Energy he had demonstrated before directly into Aelrieʼs body. The results didnʼt take long to appear.

Rean and Kentucky saw Aelriʼs aura change once again as Dark and Red Energy flowed out of her body. It was many times more powerful this time, quickly reaching every part of her body. Her own two pairs of wings followed, changing into the same color as Lotarʼs.

*Ugh...*

Aelrie couldnʼt help but tremble.

”Bear with it,” said Lotar. ”The seal is in your bloodline and was forcefully put there. Iʼm not really unsealing it myself. Instead, Iʼm stimulating your bloodline, making it want to break free of its shackles on its own. I have pretty much no knowledge about seals, after all.”

The transformation took over forty minutes, but it finally reached a critical point where the seal couldnʼt hold Aelrieʼs bloodline anymore.

*Boom!*

A burst of Divine Energy mixed with Dark and Red Flames came out of Aelrieʼs body. At the same time, her cultivation seemed to increase, allowing Aelrie to reach the Late Stage of the Space Bending Realm. That event only lasted a few seconds, and everything returned to normal.

Aelrie was now pretty much like Lotar in his angel form, with the most obvious trait being the Dark and Red Wings. She opened her eyes, which were also Dark and Red in color. They didnʼt continue like that, though. Aerie seemed to get used to her bloodline pretty fast, and her eyes quickly returned to their normal color.

Seeing that, Lotar nodded, satisfied. ”Welcome back, Queen.”

Aelrie nodded. ”You did a good job, Lotar. Iʼm myself again.”

Rean and Kentucky were surprised to hear that. It was indeed Aelrieʼs voice, but she seemed somehow different. She didnʼt have the surprised and curious expression they were expecting from her after she awakened her real power. ”Are you still Aelrie?”

”No,” Aelrie turned to them and shook her head. ”That thing in the city tried to change my memories, but I was a step ahead. I put my own memories inside my bloodline before my bloodline itself was sealed by him. As long as the seal was undone, my memories would return. My real name is Iolanda.”

Aelrie... or Iolanda, had a cold expression as she looked at Rean and Kentucky. ”However, I also have Aelrieʼs memories, all of them. You are quite lucky. If my bloodline had wiped these memories, I would not feel indebted to you and would have you killed right now.”

*Roar!*

Suddenly, ten Shadow Ferals approached Iolanda.

Seeing that, Iolanda nodded, satisfied. ”Well done, Lotar. I can see you prepared my ten assistants. Gather the males with the best bloodlines. I have to take it from where my mother stopped. Itʼs been 210 years since her passing, so the birth rate is quite delayed. I canʼt allow for that, so me and these girls are sucking these males dry of their seeds today.”

Rean and Kentucky felt a chill running through their bodies. When Ae- Iolanda told her plan, her expression changed into one of excitement, as she was looking forward to all the sex she would be doing this day. She was a complete contrast to what Aelrie wanted in the past. ”Does that mean the Aelrie Copy is now gone and only live in your memories?”

Iolanda looked at him and nodded. ”Thatʼs pretty much it. There is no need for you to feel sad about that. From the very start, that Aelrie was a farce, a paw being used by the guy in Kanlas City. Now that Iʼm myself, I wonʼt renege on my Queenʼs duties. The survival of my race in this place depends on the descendants I will give birth with those other ten Shadow Ferals.”

Lotar dropped his head and began to ask. ”Queen, after you were captured, what did they try to make you do? Do you know what their plan was while you lived as Aelrie?”

Rean and Kentuckyʼs interest was picked. Indeed, they also wanted to know about it.

Iolanda went into a pensive expression, scanning through all of Aelrieʼs memories during her time in the Holamenor Clan. ”Iʼm quite confused as well. While I was the fake Aelrie, I didnʼt really do anything out of the normal for someone of that clan. No, wait, there is one thing...”

Iolanda raised her hand and bit it. A drop of blood came out, and she used some kind of dark and red seal runes to cast a technique. She then closed her eyes and felt that drop of blood for a few minutes before she finally opened her eyes again. ”As I thought... the Holamenor Clan seems to be connected to us somehow.”

Lotar didnʼt understand. ”Connected to us? Why would our Shadow Feral Race have any connections with a Clan of Angels?”

It was at that moment that Kentucky remembered something. ”Rean, didnʼt Waremis mention back then that their clan wasnʼt controlled by the Soul Worms because of their bloodline? That it was different from the rest of Angels?”

Rean also thought of the same possibility. ”Indeed. The Soul Worms are very sensitive to such things, so the Soul Worms created to take control over the angels didnʼt work for the Holamenor Clan, and thatʼs why they had to keep a low profile for such a long time. Aelr- Errr... I mean, Iolanda, is the connection you mentioned the Holamenor Clanʼs Bloodline?”

Iolanda looked at them with a smile. ”As expected, you also noticed it.” She then turned her attention to Lotar. ”There is no doubt, Lotar. The Angel Holamenor Clan has some traces of our Shadow Feral Race Bloodline. I can guarantee that.”

”Then...” Lotar understood everything was connected. ”Thatʼs why they were so adamant to get you...”
