The raging power of the Legendary Bloodline surged fiercely throughout Vlad's body, causing waves of intense pain, but he remained resolute, steady, and entirely focused.
The Depravita understood perfectly well that if he faltered even slightly now, the bloodline would be irrevocably lost, and there was no possibility of acquiring a second one. Bit by bit, the bloodline carved itself deeply into Vlad's very bones and soul, restructuring every cell within him.
After an agonizing and grueling six hours, the painstaking process was finally complete.
"BOOOOM!"
At that instant, an explosive wave of energy erupted violently from Vlad's body and soul, filling the entire room with an overwhelming pressure.
The successful assimilation of the Legendary Space Bloodline pushed Vlad's energy pool across the critical threshold, propelling him directly into Level 19 and marking his ascension as a fully-fledged Sage.
