Brave Murphy! Hurry and make a contract with me, and become a magical girl!
The feeling of his body melting was quite peculiar. At that moment, Murphy felt like a lump of butter tossed into a hot pan, or caramelized sugar heated until it browned.
He felt as if he'd turned into a slime made of blood. Every time his body quivered, it even made a strange boing~boing~boing sound. But it didn't hurt. Perhaps the power of the Midnight Twins had shielded him from the pain, allowing him to regard his transformation with remarkable calm.
There wasn't really any need to panic.
When the blood cocoon had wrapped itself around him and formed a sphere, his administrator system had already displayed a notification:
"Core power concepts of the seven vampire clans collected: 7/7. The Madblood inheritance has unlocked the 'Hidden Special: Primordial Regression' route. The data deletion applied to the vampire power system's seal has been lifted! Copying the 'Primordial Regression' power concept. Detected that the powers of the Midnight/Scarlet Paths are fully accessible to the host. Special power symbol—Blood River—is operating normally. All primordial regression routes contained within the Blood Lord echoes have been unlocked. The host's original ancestor's power has been revoked. Acquiring new ancestor's power! Special life form: Blood Ancestor, unlocked! Hemolysis risk eliminated. Source-blood form: body reconstruction is about to begin. Please wait."
"Emmmm. I have a feeling I just unlocked something pretty incredible."
Murphy, now a mass of scarlet gelatin, grumbled inwardly. While waiting for the grand dukes' blood from the seven clans within his body to finish its subtle recombination, he asked:
"Can you explain what this 'Blood Ancestor' is? What makes it so dangerous that the Creator himself took the initiative to seal off this special regression route?"
