Chapter 248 - New And Powerful Abilities!
-----
The moment Noah maxed out the new Abilities, he felt like his body was reinforced, his entire body began to bubble, and a sudden force over it was erected which grew stronger with every single Lifeblood Point! This was most likely the Elemental Ward, an invisible ward that emerged over his body, which Noah could not see directly but feel it!
These Abilities were indeed insane, he was now able to regenerate at an even insane speed than before, and even if he were to have his body almost destroyed, he was capable of reducing the damage the more his Vitality went down, up to 100% damage reduction! Of course, this Ability was related to his body and not his Soul, but his body was the thing he used the most aside from very special occasions such as when he fought against the Lady of the Lake of God\'s Hand.
It seemed that powerful Divine beings were proficient in fighting with their soul and also targeting their foe\'s souls with their attacks, something he planned to develop further through the next Lifeblood Jewel he was about to create.
Now that he was done with this, what should he pick next?
This question emerged within Noah\'s mind as he glanced at the next two possible Skill Trees he could branch off into. Lifeblood Points were -for now- quite the precious points, so he was rather conflicted in which upgrade to pick.
These Abilities were pretty much upgrades, as he was still able to use the Skills they were made of, so it meant that there wasn\'t much pressure in picking one or another, and it was solely for convenience\'s sake or what he wanted to focus more into.
[Conditions met, Lifeblood Points requirement met, you can now pick between these two Skill Trees]
[Vampire King\'s Spirit]: As a Vampire King, your Spirit, Senses, and Powers are above any other Vampire, Abilities include Crimson Moon Ballad, True Vampiric Eyes, and Supernatural Vampiric Divine Senses
[Vampire King\'s True Form]: Unleash the truest and monstrous form of a Vampire King to exert overbearing power against your foes, Abilities include Space-Tearing Crimson Claws, Ancient Scion Transformation, and Lifeblood Exceed Arts.
The Skill Trees that contained these Skills seemed to divide into two options, one enhance Noah\'s perceptive abilities while also bringing somewhat of an offensive Skill, while the other option brought full physical offense coupled with transformation to boot.
Noah saw that there was no current need to enhance his already amazing perceptive abilities at the moment, and that gathering more power seemed way better, so he decided to pick up the Vampire King\'s True Form Skill Tree for the moment.
[Skill Tree Selected]
[Vampire King\'s True Form]: Unleash the truest and monstrous form of a Vampire King to exert overbearing power against your foes.
Abilities: Space-Tearing Crimson Claws (0/5), Ancient Scion Transformation (0/5), and Lifeblood Exceed Arts (0/5).
…
"So 5 for each… The beginning of this Skill Tree does not require Lifeblood Points?" asked Noah.
"It seems that it does not. But it might be capable of receiving them to enhance its effects even further if the Lifeblood Jewel\'s Rank is enhanced. Then again, you\'re capable of receiving Lifeblood Points through the assimilation of the energy given to you by all those connected with your Soul through Guidance or Bloodline Soul, so you will be able to get points daily, though I don\'t know how many exactly… Though, I would guess that you\'re not patient enough to sit and wait for points," said the Blood Progenitor.
"You know me quite well. We shall start the conquest of this Sector tomorrow morning, everyone will become my servants soon enough, and I will also go to the SS-Rank Dungeon to grind as many Points as I want, and then annihilate the Boss and destroy this Gate," said Noah.
"You\'re quite the proactive man, I see…" said the Blood Progenitor.
Noah decided to glance at the Abilities he was going to pick next.
[Space-Tearing Crimson Claws] (0/5): Harness the power of your blood into your nails, growing enormous and metallic crimson claws that hold upon them the power to tear through space itself. Ignores enemy\'s physical defense by 20% and drains 20% of damage dealt.
[Ancient Scion Transformation] (0/5): Transform into the enormous and monstrous Ancient Scion of Vampires, harnessing your ancient bloodline\'s power into your body. Your size grows into a muscular humanoid demon, gaining wings, a sharp tail, horns, and gray skin. While in this form, you are capable of seeing through any obstacle, drain vitality from being near foes, and absorb blood into your body without needing to drink it. While this form is active, +5% Complete Damage Absorption, +50% Physical Damage, +50% Elemental Damage, +50% Elemental Resistance, +50% Attack, Casting, and Movement Speed.
[Lifeblood Exceed Arts] (0/5): Unleash the power of your Lifeblood, your very Blood and Vitality into all of your attacks, being capable of unleashing several types of slashing attacks, fist attacks, and kick attacks consecutively while coating yourself on your own Vitality, which is constantly drained. After a series of combos are made, you can unleash the full concentration of your Lifeblood through a powerful Vampiric Blast. Each successful attack increases your physical damage by 5% and ignores your foe\'s physical defense by 5%, up to 100% in both.
Noah couldn\'t help but feel the impulse to instantly utilize the Lifeblood Points, these Skills were way too powerful! The insanity of them was driving him mad.
Ancient Scion Transformation took a complete upgrade, and it now enhanced his capabilities to insane levels, although it constantly drained his Mana, Vitality, or Soul Energy. However, as long as he could keep sucking the blood or vitality of his enemies, he could keep on this form indefinitely!
And the thing that surprised him the most was its Complete Damage Absorption of only 5%, but that was only until he was to upgrade the Abilities using Lifeblood Points.
Aside from this stupendous Ability, Noah also noticed the new Claws Skill, which could let him tear through space itself and even ignore his foe\'s physical defense and even drain damage dealt against them! Truly, a terrifying power. Noah\'s Crimson Claws had evolved a long way up until this moment!
Lastly, the Lifeblood Exceed Arts had become an amazing Ability, bringing Noah the power to unleash consecutive combo attacks with any kind of body part he could imagine, which would increase the damage dealt with every single successful combo! Even more, after enough power was accumulated, he could unleash a powerful Vampiric Blast for even greater damage!
Noah didn\'t wait for a second longer, as he spent the Lifeblood Points he had.
Ding!
[You exchanged 1500 Skill Points]

While in this form, you are capable of seeing through any obstacle, drain vitality from being near foes, and absorb blood into your body without needing to drink it. While this form is active, +30% Complete Damage Absorption, +300% Physical Damage, +300% Elemental Damage, +300% Elemental Resistance, +300% Attack, Casting, and Movement Speed

Each successful attack increases your physical damage by 30% and ignores your foe\'s physical defense by 30%, up to 600% in both.
Noah smiled maliciously at this enormous upgrade! The power he was about to unleash over his enemies would be truly quite terrifying! He couldn\'t simply wait any longer to completely decimate the Dungeon together with his wife and his subordinates tomorrow, no matter what creature crawled within the SS-Rank Dungeon, it should already begin to say its prayers!
The complete upgrade of his transformation now brought him 30% Complete Damage Absorption! It was as if Noah himself had become the Final Boss here…
