Blood Assimilation

But he still had Randy’s ego, so he could be considered another him since they had the same memories and personality.

At this point, he was trying to get used to his new body as he observed the fight between his original body and the black-horned demon, which was a distance away from him and the red-scaled demon.

While he was observing the fight between his original self and the black-horned demon, the enraged and forgotten red-scaled demon snapped out of his shock and dazed expression from Randy’s previous deadly attacks that had overwhelmed him.

That, coupled with the ‘untimely’ intervention of his partner, caused his body to tremble on the spot.

As the red-scaled demon recalled his pathetic state a while ago, his face instantly flushed red in embarrassment.

In frustration, he angrily shouted out: “Gleat, how dare you steal my prey!!”

The incarnation Randy flinched on the spot when he heard this loud voice behind him.

“Oh no, I forgot this guy was still here! Wait, why did I forget something like that? Is something wrong with me or with this body’s mental state?”

.....

Incarnation Randy realized that something might be seriously wrong with either him or his incarnation for him to forget that there was another opponent besides the black-horned demon.

“Forget it, I will think about this later. For now, I know how to operate this body, although it seems to be a bit troublesome.”

After observing and moving his incarnation’s body for a while, Randy found out that there was no energy vessel within his incarnation body. That meant that he couldn’t use any energy-related skills with his current body.

However, the same cannot be said about any skill that did not explicitly require the usage of a type of energy.

Furthermore, using his current world’s standards, his body had only inherited his base physical attributes and not mana points.

Not to mention that the base attributes did not include the temporary attributes that had yet to transfer over, which was another troublesome thing as he seemed weaker than his original body.

But even though he did not have an energy vessel, it did not mean that he didn’t have any energy at all.

In reality, his current body seemed to follow his current world’s laws and had mana pathways or meridians that gathered in his heart, but he only lacked ample mana.

The minuscule mana in his body was better than not having anything at all. However, it was problematic for his current situation.

If there was one fortunate thing, it was that he could use something else to replace his lack of energy.

Thus, Randy perked up right away.

“System?”

Randy called out hopefully but was unsure whether the system would be attached to his incarnation body. After all, this was not the body his system was originally attached to.

With a flash, a screen appeared in his vision shortly after.

Randy heaved out a sigh of relief but then noticed that the screen in front of him looked slightly different.

If he had to describe it, it was what the appearance of his system’s screen looked like when he first acquired it. Back then, it was bloody-red just like the current screen in front of him.

However, he did not mind such irrelevant details. All that mattered was that his system was still with him even when he becomes an incarnation.

With that sorted out, he asked: “System, I recalled you said that I could use my divine points as an energy source, can I use it now?”

He recalled that he still had about a few thousand divine points after spending a lot to undo and comprehend the knowledge held within the ancient black tome.

[{[The host can indeed use the divine points as a substitute for energy-based skills. However, it would take a few moments for the divine points to transfer over from the main system. How much does the host require?]}]

“Let’s see...” Randy thought for a moment and said: “Give me 2,000 for now. I can’t afford to spend it all right here.”

[{[Please wait for 30 seconds for the transference sequence to complete]}]

“Okay, so I should-”

“That damned Gleat! He dared say that he wasn’t going to intervene only butt into my fight. Does he think I will lose to that human?!”

The red-scaled demon angrily strode over with his entire body covered in red and black flames.

He almost walked past incarnation Randy before suddenly turning and casually waving his hand: “Buzz off, you weakling fake.”

Fwoom–

Crimson dark flames seeming to consume everything in its path with its overwhelming destructive power rushed towards incarnation Randy out of nowhere.

Incarnation Randy had no means to evade this attack as it covered the entire sky above him. As such, he couldn’t escape even if he could move right this instant.

After all, his current body lacked his full strength, and this demon was at least a level 60 if using his base strength when he first started leveling as a standard.

Such a level of strength was not something that the current him could deal with, not to mention defend against the other party’s attack.

Right as he was about to be consumed by the searing and destructive flames, a flash of light illuminated his vision.

Lines of text appeared on the blood-red screen in his field of vision.

[{[Transference complete. The host can now utilize any skill, and the system would provide the necessary energy]}]

Upon seeing this text, Randy quickly activated a skill before speeding up away from the area covered by the flames.

A moment later, at the area where he was standing before.

Boom!!

Siss–

The flames had engulfed everything at the spot where he was standing a while ago.

At this moment, everything on the ground had been melted by the intense searing flame, making a sizzling sound.

Luckily, although close, they were still far from the forest, so the fire was not a problem.

The red-scaled demon walked away with an indifferent expression as he headed toward the direction where his partner, the black-horned demon engaged in deadly combat with the original Randy.

However, after walking for a few moments, the human, whom he expected to be wailing from the agony of his skin melting from his bones, was not screaming in pain as he had expected.

Curious, the red-scaled demon stopped in his tracks and turned to face where the flames continued to decimate its surrounding.

Although he didn’t find the corpse of the human, he instead found out, to his dismay, the human was standing a distance away from him; It seemed that the human had escaped the area his flames brought to ruin unscathed.
