Chapter 544 - Overreacting



Date- 30 Mar 2321

Time- 9:39

Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, Barren Lands, Blood Rock Cave Gate Dungeon

Bloodette had three options to choose the entrance into the material plane from the river of souls. Having tried and failed in the two of three options, Bloodette had no choice but to go for the deadliest one of all.

1. To destroy the junction between the girl's bloodline and the bloodline bridge. This option was the safest option of the three.

2. To destroy the bloodline bridge itself. But choosing this option came with a moderate risk of Bloodette falling through the entrance into the river of souls.

3. To destroy the girl's bloodline, using which the malicious demigod soul had constructed the bloodline bridge and the entrance for it to invade into the material plane. But doing this would mean the girl losing her demigod bloodline and Blloodette would be lost in the river of souls.

Directly destroying the girl's Bloodline would indeed be the quickest and permanent solution for stopping the demigod soul invasion. But using this option meant Bloodette giving up on her life as this action was equal to blowing up a building with you in it. Right now, Bloodette is the girl's bloodline, and if she were to destroy the bloodline she was attached to, then she would fall through the entrance into the river of souls before it closes. Therefore this option was not Bloodette's first or the second choice but the last.

"Bloodette, don't do anything stupid! Come out of there this instant." Cortney yelled at the top of her lungs, but to her dismay, she got no reply from Cortney no matter how much she threatened or begged her, " Bloodette, honey. Listen to me. I will bring you many blood delicacies. And take to various high-rank dungeons. Please come out."

"..." Bloodette did not give in to Cortney's threats or pleas. She hurriedly started to find a weak point in the bloodline to attack and destroy it. She did not have much time in her hands as the presence of the malicious demigod's soul in the bloodline was getting stronger and stronger. There was no room for hesitation or to look back. She had to do it; otherwise, all of them were going to die if the demigod's soul descended.

Bloodette had decided to sacrifice her life to save her friends. She thought this was a fitting end for her life rather than spending an eternity trapped in a dungeon seal. Her living as a caged bird had no meaning. At least her dying to save her friends could give an excellent meaning to her existence.

Bloodette was not afraid of death. If she were, she would never have taken the risk to peek at the river of souls. She had a boundless adventurous spirit, imprisoned by the dungeon seal it was suffocating. Bloodette thought that death was better than suffering an eternity of suffocation. And what way would be better to die than self-sacrifice for others to keep on living? The people she saves and their lives will become the meaning of her existence.

"Bloodette, come back! Don't do it!" Cortney wailed as she mumbled these words. Seeing this, I could not help but ask in concern, " what happened? What is she up to now?"

"The demigod soul is about to descend, so Bloodette is planning on destroying the girl's bloodline to stop it from happening," Cortney explained Bloodette's next course of action to me. Then she continued her wailing, begging Bloodette to return.

"That's it? What's there to panic? Stop overreacting." I said casually as Bloodette trying to destroy Sarah's bloodline was not worth being concerned over.

"Overreacting? How could you say that to me? Don't you know that if Bloodette destroys the girl's bloodline, she will also fall into the river of souls?" Cortney lashed out at me for my insensitive words.

"I know___."

"You know, and yet you dare to say I am overreacting?" Cortney was agitated, knowing that her friend was going to sacrifice herself for her. Her lashing out at me resulted from her brain trying to cope with the guilt, anger, and powerlessness she was feeling right now.

"Will you let me finish? Bloodette is at risk only if she manages to destroy Sarah's bloodline. Considering how she failed to destroy the bloodline bridge and the junction between the bloodline and bloodline bridge, I highly doubt that she will be able to destroy Sarah's bloodline. After all, it's a demigod's bloodline with the highest purity. Meaning the bloodline in Sarah will require at least the strength of a demigod or something similar to erase it.

Bloodette is strong, but as the recent facts have proven she is not that strong. Therefore there is no need to worry. Bloodette would not be able to destroy Sarah's Bloodline. So next time she contacts you, explain this to her and ask her to come out. And let me handle this." I explained to Cortney that Bloodette was not in real danger, so she should quit sobbing and proceed according to my instructions.

"Oh, Okay. And sorry I lashed out at you. I didn't mean to, but at that time, I couldn't control myself from doing so, knowing Bloodette was up to something stupid again." Cortney apologized to me for losing it earlier.

"It's okay. I know you did not mean to." I forgave Cortney. After all, I would have reacted the same if I were in her situation.

"Wait, you said you will deal with it? Do you have a solution for it? Didn't just say at least demigod level strength is required to erase Sarah's bloodline from roots." Now that she knew Bloodette was not in any danger, Cortney regained her calm and finally started to think.

"I said demigod level strength or something similar. I have neither, but I have one trick up my sleeve. If that doesn't work, we can always ask for help from Anna." Now that I know that the root cause of the current dilemma was Sarah's bloodline, I had a few tricks to take care of it. But as always, I decided upon the route that would profit me the most. There are calculated risks, but when did gains start coming without risk. They are a couple. If you want gains, then there will be risks. You just have to deal with it.
