735 Chapter 735
Just like before, when he upgraded his Might Attribute towards the peak before reaching the first milestone, so did he feel the same with each attribute point Aiden increased in his Agility.
Like then, he could feel his muscles spasming, tensing, and stretching with each point, making his whole body be under a constraint strain as his body was gradually rebuilt. Yet, unlike before he did not gain any visible mass this time around, his body didn\'t look slightly more swollen at all. No, on the contrary, his previous, newly gained mass were no longer as protruding as before, fusing with his current slender and small reptilian physique even better.
Each point pushed his current form just ever so slightly closer to that perfection, that perfected state.
Each time his Agility increased by one point, he had to take his time. Just as it was with his Might, his body needed several minutes to process the changes at all. Also, his grand pool of points tanked massively, his 15000 first were dived straight to 12000 then 9000 until it reached its newest low of 6000 when his Agility reached the fabled 49 points.
Aiden could feel the tenseness of his own body, his reflexes being refined and honed to perfection with each passing round. Each time his body slowly rebuilt itself, adjusted to his new attributes\' spread Aiden could feel the changes himself.
Taking a deep breath, Aiden prepared himself for another shock. If his previous experience were anything to go by as well as this inkling feeling, this intuition, this restlessness his whole body was under constantly as if it was already expecting this grand achievement, he was in for another bumpy ride.
Feeling agitated, Aiden inhaled a large gasp to fill his lungs with the stale and cool cavern air to calm his rapidly thumping little drum inside his chest. Keeping it stored for only a couple of heartbeats, he slowly exhaled all that lungful before repeating the cycle for several minutes. With each exhale he felt his chaotically beating heart turn slightly more controlled, calmer. With each passage he felt more relaxed, clarity soon returning to his senses after a while.
Once he felt ready both in body and mind, he once again focused his intent and began to pool from his remaining ever-dripping System Pool into his Agility. He watched as his pool almost completely dried out in a manner of a couple of seconds, reaching an all time low of 2000, before suddenly everything turned quiet once more.
Like before, for a brief instant, everything turned silent. Even time seemed to take interest in the events as it felt that it paused down briefly to take a gander over.
Then, it suddenly changed. With a loud snap, the silence was broken, shattered to pieces. Aiden\'s whole figure trembled as it sat in his meditative pose. Countless small ripples spread across his silhouette traversing all around as countless invisible jolts of energy zapped across his frame. His frame gradually turned hazy, blurry to the outsider\'s eyes as his frame once again was adjusted, shapeshifted to match not just a small change, but something else, something unexpected entirely.
Finally, after several minutes of discomfort and agitated wait, the familiar bell like sound rang inside Aiden\'s ears, soon followed by the emergence of the torrent of System Notifications.
[New Milestone Reached - Agility First Breakthrough!]
[Agility Attribute reached the first milestone - Accumulated 50 points]
[New Bloodline [Golden Thunder Lizard] created! The passive skill [Golden Thunder - Level 1] Gained!]
[Golden Thunder: The blood of mythical beasts courses within you, further empowering the host both body and mind. Being a descendant of the Golden Thunder Lizard, the host\'s reaction, speed, and dexterousness undergo a gradual qualitative change. With each new rank, each new stage all related traits will go under a tremendous improvement. At the same time, each milestone will unlock the bloodline even more.
Note: Bloodline skills cannot be normally increased and can only be improved through specific, unique techniques. For further details please follow the appropriate Bloodline Quest.]
Just like before, before Aiden could even wake up from his daze and process all the new information the system bells rang once again as further messages flew in one after another.
First, it was the already expected new bloodline quest from the system assisting in the evolution and further unlocking of his second bloodline.
[New Bloodline Quest Received! - Golden Thunder Lizard Improvement]
[Difficulty: N/A
Objective: -With the knowledge granted to the System Guide, follow its instructions during the next meditation session and improve [Golden Thunder Lizard] to the next level.
Reward: [Dragon\'s Wrath] Level Up, [Dragon\'s Wrath] Innate Evolution Option]
\'Wait… what?!\' Reading through the text, Aiden\'s mental gaze went wide open when he noticed the last part of the quest rewards. An Evolution to his most powerful and defining innate? Was that even possible? Also, he was not offered any experience this time around, but direct level ups?
What did this all even mean? Why would improving the Agility related bloodline physique bring such a strange change to him?
Still, once more, Aiden was given no chance to process the monumental, ground breaking news he had just received, as before the metaphorical dust could settle down, the messages once again began to emerge one after another.
[New Hidden Milestone Reached - Complete the First Stage of Primal Evolution]
[New System Quest Received! - Primal Maturity Evolution]
[Difficulty: A-S
Objective: -Reach Level 10 with both the [Herculean Heritage] and the [Golden Thunder Lizard] bloodlines
-Initiate System Fusion and fuse the two Bloodlines.
Reward: ????]
Once again, Aiden could hardly believe the messages that were presented before him. Hidden Milestone?
This has once happened to him before, though at that time, the reward wasn\'t another task, a quest, but a direct upgrade of some small measure. Though strangely, the Spirit was also included in the requirements despite that skill have not reached any form of success or visible milestone of any kind, it still mattered in the count.
However this quest, this System Quest was a first of its kind. Unlike the others before him, this one had several differences.
For first and foremost, there were no penalties added to it, meaning that it was not forced just like the bloodline quests before. Still, though technically optional, it was something that only carried benefits, even though those \'rewards\' were once again not displayed at the time.
Aiden was certain that despite not knowing, whatever the fusion of the two bloodlines would bring forth would be the actual reward or some sort of temporary or mayhaps even permanent enhancement, boon to it would be what was currently listed as mystery.
