RE: LORD OF TIME

”Lay down on the platform.”

Hearing Vivian’s instruction, Liam did not hesitate and walked forward, lying down on the platform.

The deep-red magic circle engraved beneath the platform was actually made using William’s blood.

He had given his blood to Vivian, who then handed it to Victoria and instructed her to create this magic circle.

Normally, this ritual wasn’t required if William simply wanted to turn someone into a vampire. He just had to use his Progenitor’s Blood and directly inject it into the target’s body to turn them into a vampire.

But since he was planning to give a portion of his Origin Bloodline to Liam, this magic circle was required to act as a medium to completely integrate his bloodline origin with Liam’s.

Once Liam lay down, Vivian walked over to him and her eyes glowed.

”Sleep.”

Liam instantly felt his mind become heavy, and in less than a second, he fell into a deep sleep.

”You can start now,” Vivian said and stepped back, standing at the side of the room to act at any moment if anything went wrong.

William took a deep breath and walked into the middle of the magic circle, his expression extremely serious.

”It will be extremely painful, but bear with it, buddy,” He said despite knowing Liam was already unconscious and pointed one of his fingers at him.

His eyes glowed slightly red, and the blood inside his body began to churn.

His heartbeat became unusually fast, and suddenly, a sharp pain came from his chest, making William’s face turn pale for a moment.

But he did not stop what he was doing, and the red glow in his eyes intensified.

Inside William’s body, from his heart, a drop of ruby-red blood slowly emerged and, under the control of his Blood Manipulation, slowly moved forward.

Outside, the finger William was pointing at Liam suddenly trembled, and its skin burst as a drop of ruby-red blood came out of it.

William’s face was pale, and his aura dropped sharply the instant the drop of blood left his body, but he didn’t concern himself with it and let the drop of blood fly toward Liam, making him swallow it.

Once the drop of ruby-red blood, which was the Origin of his Bloodline, entered Liam’s body, William opened his mouth and began to mutter strange inscriptions.

This was the vampiric language that he had learned from his bloodline memories.

As William’s voice echoed inside the room, the magic circle that was drawn on the ground began to shine, and in just a few seconds, its radiance covered the entire room.

Liam’s body on the platform was enveloped by the crimson light, and as this light of magic circal fell on him, the drop of ruby-red blood inside his body trembled violently.

”Arghh!”

Even in his unconscious state, Liam couldn’t help but groan in pain as the skin on his body was suddenly split open by violent energy, blood pouring out from his wounds.

William did not stop chanting the inscriptions, and as his voice slowly grew louder, it echoed across the silent room.

Similar to what happened to William when he had assimilated the Vampire Bloodline, Liam’s body also began to break from within.

The drop of ruby-red blood turned into a crimson, violent energy that tore through every part of his body from within, slowly reshaping it while also merging with his blood.

If Liam’s eyes had not been closed at this moment, William and Vivian would have seen that they were glowing deep red.

The radiance coming from the magic circle, made from William’s blood, continued to stimulate his Bloodline Origin inside Liam’s body.

Crack! Crack! — — — —

The sound of bones cracking echoed as Liam’s bones snapped under the violent power of the Bloodline Origin.

Vivian stood at the side, watching everything with focused eyes.

’I wonder if his Bloodline will be similar to mine?’ She couldn’t help but think, feeling curious.

She had never come across any other vampire who possessed an Apex Grade Bloodline.

Since William used his Bloodline Origin, the chances of Liam awakening an Apex Grade Bloodline were extremely high, almost 99.99%.

There was a very small possibility that even after using the Bloodline Origin, a person wouldn’t awaken an Apex Grade Bloodline.

But that was the case when the said person’s talent was just too low, almost trash.

As long as a person had decent talent, gaining an Apex Grade Bloodline wouldn’t be a problem after receiving William’s Bloodline Origin.

Although not top-grade, Liam’s talent was also extremely high, so she had no doubt he would be able to awaken an Apex Grade Bloodline.

The only thing she was curious about was whether the abilities he would awaken would be similar to hers or not.

’Most vampires with high-grade bloodlines generally awaken abilities related to blood. I wonder if he will be the same?’

BOOOOOOM!

Just as she was thinking, a violent, blood-red aura erupted from Liam’s body, and his hair slowly turned platinum-white.

Even his sun-kissed skin became a bit pale, looking more glossy even without oil.

William breathed heavily and silently stepped back from the magic circle, leaning against the wall.

”Damn, this weakness is more severe than using Overload,” He muttered under his breath as he slowly sat down on the ground.

Vivian quickly walked over to him and fed him a potion.

”Even though you have Immortal Blood Heart and you have only used a very small amount of your Bloodline Orgin, it’s not easy to recover it instantly.”

She said as she helped him lean against the wall.

William nodded, and as the potion Vivian fed him took effect, he felt slightly better and looked at Liam, whose body was covered in crimson aura.

”At least it was successful...” He muttered as he felt the aura of a vampire coming from Liam.

Vivian nodded and spoke as well.

”The aura of a vampire around him is extremely pure. It’s definitely an Apex Grade Bloodline.”

William stared at Liam, who was going through the transformation as his entire body was reconstructed just like his, and his eyes narrowed.

”Logically speaking, although the level of my Bloodline is on the same level as Blood Ancestor’s, my Bloodline is actually different from his since it evolved from Chaos Evolution. I wonder if it will have any effect on Liam’s Bloodline.”

Vivian nodded as she was curious about it as well.

Around ten minutes later, the blood-red aura coming from Liam’s body slowly stopped, and his body also completed the changes.

”Now he is a full-fledged vampire,” Vivian said, looking at the unconscious Liam.

William was about to speak, but suddenly, he noticed something and his eyes widened.

Vivian also seemed to feel something, and a shocked look appeared on her face as well.

”This... Is this logical...” William muttered in a dazed voice, staring at Liam.

At the same time, the Chaos Bloodline within his body stirred, and a faint calling came from it.
