Chapter 68 Bloodline Thief/Bernard Caught
She realized her body was filled with fatigue and could not be controlled. It was akin to a ghost pressing down on her, making it difficult to even move a finger. Her body seemed like it had been injected with a paralysis drug, and yet all she could do was let herself be drained of her blood as she felt the pleasure grow intense. After a while, Bernard's bloodlust began to dissipate as well as his hunger.
[You have come into contact with blood]
[Your hunger shall now begin to decrease]
[You have drunk human Blood × 4]
[You have drunk human blood × 4]
[You have drunk human blood × 1]
[You have drunk human blood × 5]
–
[You have drunk human blood × 9]
Surprisingly, even though Bernard seems to be regaining self-consciousness with every notification message, he still held Emelia softly as he continued to suck away.
[Hp has successfully recovered]
[Total Hp recovered: 20/20]
[You have made contact with the bloodline energy of your victim]
[Bloodline Thief has been activated]
[Searching for requirements and compatibility]
[Requirement for Bloodline Theif has been met]
[Analyzing compatibility with victim: 0% - 100%]
[Analysis complete: 50%/100%]
Bernard's head was hurting from the series of dinging sound notification messages, to the point he nearly let go of Emelia because of that. Still, his grip on Emelia's face only got tighter.
Unlike before, were he was feeling hungry and didn't know what he was doing. Now the hunger was replaced by something else, the feeling had only gotten stronger after his Hp had recovered.
[Compatibility with victim bloodline is 50%]
[Your desire has been acknowledged]
[Do you wish to steal this bloodline: Yes - No]
Bernard's eyes narrowed the moment this notification message popped up in his line of sight, he didn't need to think much before he knew what to answer.' No…'
However, in the next second, something incredulous happened as he received yet another shocking message, that was contrary to his response.
[You have decided to steal this bloodline]
[System shall now begin bloodline extraction]
'What!' Bernard almost shouted outwardly from shock, at this moment he couldn't help but remember her pitiful expression making his heartache, subconsciously he wanted to let go of her yet to his greatest surprise his hands seemed like they had been glued to her body.
Seeing this, he began to blame himself no matter how much he thought about it, she didn't deserve whatever he was doing to her.
'What have I done?' Bernard kept screaming inwardly, as though to remind him of what he had done, another notification message came up.
[System has begun extraction process: 0% - 100%]
Bernard cursed the system internally, his mind began to move back and forth thinking of how to stop the system from extracting her bloodline. Since the process was by being in contact with her, he began to think of how to break his physical contact with her body, it was the only thing he could think of.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, his hand on her body only grew firmer and firmer.
Veins could be seen all over his face as he kept trying to pull away, yet it was futile.
At this moment, he noticed something.
'It isn't moving.' Bernard stared at the percentage bar with joy. However, all of a sudden he realized he was wrong as the next moment the percentage bar began to shoot up rapidly.
[System has begun extraction process: 5% - 100%]
[6% - 100%]
[8% - 100%]
It had only been a few seconds since the extraction process began, yet the speed at which the percentage bar was moving was rapidly increasing. Bernard felt despair from watching this, as he watched the extraction process reach 10 he seem to be in a daze as he held Emelia in his hands.
'Huh?' He raised his head in bewilderment, as a notification message appeared before his eyes, replacing the previous.
[System extraction process has failed!]
'Failed?' Bernard was in a state of shock, only after this notification appeared, did he feel like he had regained full control of his body.
Even though Bernard had regained control of himself, strangely enough, he felt like he was trying to adapt to his body. It was different from when he was still sucking her blood, it felt like all his cells were trying to digest all that they had taken.
Just then, Sophia walked into the room, however, the moment she did she couldn't help but stop in her tracks. She seemed to be in a daze as she stared at Bernard with a flustered look on her expression. She had trouble describing what was happening in front of her.
It looked like two lovers romancing themselves, yet his mouth was placed on Emelia's neck who was lying in his arms unconscious. She could see his teeth had sunk deep into her neck, betraying the red liquid that was on his face.
On his lips was a long trail of blood to his chin, his expression was radiant with rosy cheeks.
Turning her head she looked at Emelia she was looking extremely pale, in comparison to him.
Sophia exchanged glances with Bernard as she stood there, looking at his shocked expression made him begin to loosen the grip on her at the same time he removed his mouth that was still on Emelia's neck.
Bernard tried to display a calm look on his expression, but within, he was already nervous and was panicking, amid his chaotic thoughts and nervousness, Sophia's question brought him back to reality.
"Bernard what are you doing?" She icily said, with anger on her expression.
