Ancient Tears BloodLine

(From MC's perspective)

After two days, Elder Compton got me the red-eye armor. I immediately hurried to the villa after receiving it from him. I wanted to know what was hiding in there.

After entering my room, I took the armor from my storage ring. Immediately, I felt the throbbing in my heart. When I brought the armor closer to my chest. I felt the blood induction.

Then I quickly set up a barrier around me. After doing that, I started running the blood cultivation method. The red eye armor vibrates all of a sudden.

For a moment, I got confused. I don't know how to access the thing inside the armor. Suddenly, a good idea comes to my mind.

I made a small cut on my finger and a drop of blood fell on the red-eye armor. When the blood comes in contact with the armor.

Swish!

The changes start to take place. A red color word appeared below the red eye design pattern. Seeing that, I quickly started to read it. What's more wonderful is that I started to understand the old language.

It might be due to the mystery of the blood cultivation method.

A few seconds later,

The words disappeared all of a sudden. S simultaneously, I felt changes in my consciousness. What is going on?

Then I noticed the blood rune in my consciousness had become bigger. Earlier, the ring-shaped rune now got thickened further.

Finally, I understood what the mysterious words mean. It's a blood technique but it's a different one. It took me a couple of seconds to understand the information.

"Field," I muttered to myself.

The information took me back to memory lane. I remember back in Hansen Campus, the blood element burst out suddenly at one point in time. I even casually named it an invisible aura.

Later, I failed to utilize the energy completely.

But now it seems the new blood technique is tailor-made for me. With this technique, I can use the aura as a field.

I don't know what the power of the field is.

As this curiosity rose in my heart. I dropped the armor and started to cultivate the technique.

Swish!

As I began to run the blood field technique. I felt the immediate changes in me. An aura came out of me. Unlike before the aura looked different now.

The aura looked completely blood red. It became visible to me. Then I tried to control the red aura. Then the aura spreads around me. But it is not perfect and seems unstable.

It will take some time to get started in this blood field technique.

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

Several days later,

Elder Thornton arrived in the city. We boarded the air cab to reach the Villa. I don't know why? Elder is insisting on talking to me in private.

But I guessed something in my mind. The incident which had taken place at the campus has taken a toll on him.

On the way, we maintained silence. I haven't seen him this seriously before.

Several minutes later,

After paying the cab fees, we entered the Villa.

"Zack, tell me what happened in the mutated forest?" Thornton asked. He then sat on the sofa.

A trace of apprehension appeared on my face. "Is the situation in the red city more serious than I thought?" I said in my heart.

Then I sat opposite him and started to speak about the changes that have taken place in a mutated forest. I skipped my adventure and loot and told him about the appearance of the Class-5 Monster.

When the words fell on Thornton's ears. His face was discolored instantly. Class 5 Monster?

"Are you kidding me?" Thornton asked back with a trembling face. Fear of the Class 5 monster made him forget about the incident that happened in Hansen.

Seeing that Zack simply nodded his head.

He then took a deep look at Zack before letting out a sigh. In his opinion, the incident caused by Crimson Hall members was nothing compared to the dangers in the mutated forest.

"Then how did you guys escape?" Thornton asked. In his opinion, Ricardo Compton can't fight against a Class-5 monster. Which is considered to be a level higher than Class 4.

There is a huge gap between Class 4 and Class 5 monsters. So Thornton feels it's a miracle.

Hearing that, I revealed a small smile on my face. Elder Compton already knows about my strength. So there is no point in hiding it from Elder Thornton.

"Zack?" Elder Thornton stared at me.

"Ahem, elder. It's me, I saved them from Class 5 Monster," I said with a smile.

The atmosphere turned into pin drop silent for a moment.

Elder Thornton looked at me with disbelief. I know it would take some time for him to digest the facts. He always wanted to know about my strength.

Thornton's heart set off storms. He knew Zack is not the type who likes to joke. As an elder even he is not sure about Zack's strength.

It took a few minutes to calm down his heart. He felt his worldview turned upside down. He then asked in a serious tone, "Zack, what is your real strength?"

He has asked this question many times before. But that time was different. It's not easy to defeat a Class -5 Monster. He already thought about something in his heart.

Elite? Above Elite? The thought alone scared him sh!t.

"Elder, don't worry about Crimson Hall anymore. I have broken through Elite level," I said in a calm tone.

Thornton widened his eyes in surprise. More than a surprise. He is shocked by the fact that Zack can defeat the Class 5 Monster.

He gulped his saliva in fear. Feeling his throat go dry, he drank a glass of water. Too much explosive news. It took him some time to digest everything.

After gaining some clarity, he finally accepted the fact. He knows there is a big man behind Zack. Probably his teacher. So Zack's current strength didn't cause any suspicion to him.

Thornton already assumed something in his mind. He felt Zack might have received secret training resources from his teacher.

Then he came back to the main topic and asked, "Who else knows about this?"

Seeing that Elder Thornton is alright. I slowly revealed the details of what Elder Compton spoke.

"Good,"

"Compton is clever as well. If the members shut their mouths, then no one will know about your strength," Thornton said.

Unlike Compton, he didn't trust the team members. Shaking his head, he decided to talk about Crimson Hall.

"Zack, now that you have broken through. I can stay relaxed. But still, the Crimson Hall is not easy," Thornton said.

Hearing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes. Then Elder Thornton continues to speak. He revealed shocking details.

The Crimson Hall is not only targeting me but other seeds as well.

I asked, "Elder, is there any Elite level warrior in Crimson Hall?"

Thornton replied, "I heard they have an old ancestor as the Great Elder."

No wonder, Crimson Hall has taken bold actions so far. They even dared to conspire against the Star Tower. So I wasn't surprised that much.

There is only one thing that concerns me right now. Which is about Crimson Hall's match.

"Elder, have you collected details about the competition?" I asked.

Thornton nodded his head. He collected his thoughts before replying, "I don't know whether it is true or not. But it is widely circulated among many forces.

"Which is that the Crimson Hall event is going to be held in a certain Monster Zone."

A look of bewilderment appeared on my face. Outer is fine. But the inner and core area of the monster zone is deadly for people under the Trainee Warrior realm.

Is that even real? I looked at Elder with somewhat confusion.

Thornton revealed a bitter smile. He knows this piece of news is too much nonsense. But what's troublesome is that the news is not denied by forces.

"Zack, many forces found this news credible. Even Star Tower didn't come forward to refute it," Thornton said with a bitter laugh.

"This?"

This time I'm truly shocked. If it is true then Crimson Hall's design is very cruel. How come forces were going to agree with this? And who is permitted to conduct an event in Monster Zone?

A lot of questions appeared in my mind. I don't think a mere Crimson Hall is responsible for this. There must be something going on.

"Everyone fears that there will be a massacre. Fortunately, you are an Elite warrior now. I can sit and watch and relax," Thornton commented.

I sighed in my heart. Things were happening beyond my belief. Competition in a monster zone. I don't know what it would look like.

"Elder, what about the new city lord?"

"Is he still looking for me?" I asked.

"Alex Fuller, that guy is rotten to the core," Thorton gritted his teeth in anger.

"He made the City Guards monitor our Hansen Campus," he added further.

Hearing that, a good plan comes to mind. Unless necessary, I won't attack the City Lord.

We discussed a few other things before Elder Thornton decided to take some rest.
