Elite Mages' Academy-Chapter 594 - Bloodline Holder

“Who are you?”

“I’m your grandpa!” Xiao Lin replied in Ancient Normese.

Poseidon was at a loss. He furrowed his eyebrows as he said in a strangled tone, “Are you trying to say that we’re from the same bloodline? I can feel that the sudden explosion of power you had earlier is similar to mine, or maybe I should call you an Incomplete Bloodline holder. So, I’m curious. Who are you?”

“Huh?” Xiao Lin merely cursed out a few words, but that man replied with such a long sentence, and it had seemed serious, without any trace of mockery.

Of course, the exhausted Xiao Lin did not mind using that to stall for more time, as his strength was really at its end. Even though Momentary Ruin allowed him to greatly reduce the consumption of his strength, he was already getting close to his limits. The difference in their power still could not be overcome, and even though Poseidon had been hit a few times and seemed very injured, the fact that the man could idly converse with Xiao Lin meant that Poseidon definitely still had strength left.

‘Incomplete Bloodline holder.’

It was not the first time Xiao Lin had heard that phrase. He remembered Absolute Defense. His Absolute Defense was the incomplete version because he was an Incomplete Bloodline holder.

It seemed like Poseidon knew what he was talking about. Even though Xiao Lin did not like the guy, he did not mind talking, so Xiao Lin deliberately nodded his head slowly in thought. “That’s right, I’m an Incomplete Bloodline holder. Due to some accidents, I can’t use all my power. It seems like we’re from the same bloodline, so it was all just a misunderstanding.”

Poseidon’s expression did not change, and he sighed with some emotion. “Oh, you think that I will let you off just like that? The origin of the bloodline has long since been lost, and for billions of years the bloodline has continuously been diluted after being inherited for countless generations. Incomplete Bloodline holders are no different from those petty commoners. No, those who have tainted the bloodline are even more despicable than the commoners!

“Look at you, it’s such a pity. You have the power to rival me, but you can only use that perfect power in just a short range of time. It’s probably because your body can’t withstand it for too long.

“Even so, it was enough to surprise me. I was sealed by you tens of thousands of years ago. I was furious, but if it’s someone from the bloodline, then you do have that power.”

“Hold on, what does a bloodline holder mean? To have the same bloodline as God? No, I don’t mean this world, I mean the legends from Earth.” Xiao Lin was confused listening to it, so he hurriedly asked.

Poseidon arrogantly said, “God? Don’t insult our bloodline with those native legends. As someone from the same bloodline, even incomplete, it’s so pitiful that you actually asked that question. I’ll tell you before you die; our bloodline comes from the universe. It could have come from the Big Bang, or when life was born, but there’s no way to verify it. However, one thing is certain: the bloodline holders transcend the existence of this universe, including any planet or any life!

“If our bloodline had not been depleted so much, how could we have fallen to that lowly blue planet! However, I should really thank you, even though I don’t know how you controlled and activated the wormhole, but I can feel a familiar taste on this planet. I can slowly recover my power here!”

Xiao Lin laughed coldly in his heart. There was no trace of Poseidon’s existence in Planet Norma’s future history. That meant that, no matter what plans he had, it would not succeed. However, he still played along, “That’s right. Then, we should take over the world together!”

Poseidon narrowed his eyes. “You are nothing. Just giving you the chance to talk to me is already the greatest gift I can give you thanks to your Incomplete Bloodline. I know you’re stalling for time in order to let the others run away, but they won’t make it. For instance, that woman close to you, it seems like you care about her more. I can feel that you did not use your full power to fight me, which is an insult to me. So, I won’t kill you that quickly, but I might just kill off that woman first and force you to want to fight more. That woman does fit into my views of beauty. Hahaha…”

That woman?

Xiao Lin suddenly turned around. He had not allowed himself to be distracted at all during the fight earlier, so he did not notice that, not far away, a familiar shadow had returned. It could be no one other than Gu Xiaoyue.

That stupid woman really did not leave. Did she turn around because she was worried about Xiao Lin?

However, XIao Lin was not touched at all at that moment. He widened his eyes and shouted with all his might, “Quickly, run!”

Poseidon had long noticed Gu Xiaoyue’s existence, but he chose to mention it now. No, it was possible that he had already planned it beforehand. After all, Gu Xiaoyue had participated in his sealing as well. It was impossible for Poseidon to leave her alone. Even if Gu Xiaoyue did not return, Poseidon would have captured her just the same. With the gap in their power, that was not a problem at all. He wanted to capture her in front of Xiao Lin and torture her in some manner. They had already seen Poseidon’s cruelty in the corridors of time, so Xiao Lin did not doubt it at all.

At that moment, Xiao Lin could only feel powerless. What of his Momentary Ruin? So what if he managed to endure Poseidon for half an hour? No matter how much strength Poseidon used, he was still at Gold rank. Looking at the sea god rush toward Gu Xiaoyue at a lightning fast speed, he shouted in anger and activated Ruin.

It was no longer Momentary Ruin, but the full state. He did not have much strength left. Xiao Lin did not know if Ruin could even be maintained for a few minutes, or even a few seconds.

Under Ruin, Xiao Lin still could not catch up to Poseidon. It led him to clearly understand that Poseidon had definitely held some strength back during their earlier battle. Xiao Lin crazily raised his speed to the maximum.

“Careful!” came Gu Xiaoyue’s panicked and weak voice.

Poseidon suddenly stopped halfway, turning around and waiting for Xiao Lin who was rushing over. A curtain of water was raised behind him, causing the spells that Gu Xiaoyue hurled over to be stopped.

Xiao Lin knew he had fallen for a trick. He could not control his body as well as Poseidon while pushing his speed to the limits. He clenched his teeth and tightened his fist, not bothering to retreat or slow down, and he instead rushed forward.

Poseidon was a little surprised before he smiled slyly. An attack of that level meant nothing to him. He raised his palm and condensed lightning and water. At that moment, Poseidon was indeed not unharmed like he was at the start, but he believed that, no matter how much his power had suffered, he would absolutely not lose.
