Chapter 988 Setting Off!

No! He had to stop it somehow! If the Altar of Awakening got destroyed or damaged, even killing himself ten thousand times would not be able to make up for it!

Screaming internally, King Neptune tried to rush forward to contain things, but he was blown back by a rouge burst of energy which ruptured his whole body and caused his HP to drop by 20%!

It should be known that even being beaten up by Shuangtian and Eva, King Neptune HP had not even dropped by 0.5%!

This caused the faces of everyone to change as they backed away from the Altar of Awakening that was quickly becoming unstable, except Draco who casually remained standing before it, seemingly unaffected by this dangerous situation.

In truth, he was actually doing his best to help it 'digest' and 'let in' the enormous amount of power through this single drop of blood, otherwise it would have long shattered.

At this moment, everyone heard a slightly shameful scream that made their faces change greatly. The girls looked around and blushed while the fellows couldn't help but have strange reactions biologically.

After all, the sound they heard was too scandalous. It sounded like a young girl who was undergoing her first time suddenly being injected with a piece of meat that was larger than what she could bear, and was struggling to accommodate it within her canal.

This sound came from the Spirit of the Altar, and everyone heard its cry. It was likely that the 'length' and 'hardness' of Draco's blood was slightly too much for it to 'receive' hence the sound.

Looking at Draco standing over the Altar of Awakening and then comparing the weird sound they just heard, everyone couldn't help but picture a scene of the dastardly Draco pressing down on a cute young maiden and ravaging her brutally.

Draco himself had an awkward expression and his face turned red. Oi, you this Altar, I'm trying to help you! Where do you get off letting out such a questionable scream, especially in public? Do you want people to misunderstand my noble gesture?!

Eva and Shuangtian especially glanced at him with knowing expressions.

"Tsk, that's our Draco for you. Not even willing to let an Altar go." Eva lamented with a smile.

"I would be more surprised if it went scot-free without feeling Draco's prowess." Shuangtian added with a giggle.

Draco's face fell when he heard the teasing of his two Soulmates. They were clearly slandering and degrading him! Humph, once he was done here, he needed to remind them of the consequences of such actions!

Eva and Shuangtian stopped laughing as they felt a chill in their hearts… or rather in their lower bodies. They could tell that after this, Draco would certainly let them know the meaning of 'my anaconda don't!'

Meanwhile, Draco finally managed to settle the Altar and let it absorb his blood. Just when he thought it was over and he could step back, it released another ambiguous sound, this time it resembled the same young maiden finally sighing with relief after 'accepting' the 'big snake'.

If the core members had given him slightly weird looks before, now they were shaking their heads. Typical of their Guildmaster, anything with skirt would feel his prowess whether they liked it or not!

Draco's face became black as he stepped back. He no longer bothered to try and defend himself anymore, completely aware that any attempt of justifying himself would rather worsen the situation.

As for King Neptune who had been pulled out of the wall he had smashed into due to the energy explosion by the other mermen, he also glanced at Draco with a strange and wary expression.

This Draco fellow was a pervert who liked defiling innocent maidens? Then shouldn't he hide his darling Olivia? Otherwise, wouldn't she also be forced to let out such shameful sounds if this fellow grabbed her with his big meaty claws?

Immediately, King Neptune watched Draco with vigilance and wariness, blacklisting the fellow in his heart. Draco, who was walking away from the Altar, became even gloomier when he sensed King Neptune's thoughts while Eva and Shuangtian were on the verge of bursting out in laughter.

As for the Altar, after appraising Draco's blood, it was obvious what the result would be. Everything was definitely at the peak, even surpassing the original bloodline sampler.

Were it not for the fact that Poseidon had not designated Draco's blood as the new standard, it would have directly replaced his own! The energy from absorbing a single drop with the second passive of the Altar could condense around 200 drops of Poseidon Essence Blood with Active 2.

"The test should be over now, right?" Draco asked King Neptune with an unhappy expression.

The King of the Mermen was stunned before shaking his head and dispelling his dangerous thoughts. "That's right. According to the map, you should have gone to hunt the Hidden Clams in the Undersea Battlefield to take their Bloodline Purifying Pearl and then use it to condense your bloodline to perfection at the Altar."

King Neptune then looked at Krona, Omega and then Draco himself. "However, you have two fellows with already perfect bloodlines plus yourself who exceeds the Ancestor, so what's the point?"

Draco's eyes flashed. While what King Neptune said was prudent, it wasn't about how he felt nor his own opinion on the matter. The Deep Vault Quest was the one to list its own requirements and objectives, so he had to check if this test had managed to fulfill them.

「The Vault of the Deeps – Unique Quest

Description: In the Age of Recession, the Great God of the Mortal Seas, Poseidon, was called back to heaven to fight against the now budding Grey Rot. However, he wanted to leave behind some of his weaker items and legacies for the next generation of the various Sea Races.

Fulfill his 7 requirements and acquire the Key to the Vault!

Stage 1: Head to the Kingdom of the Undersea and verify your sea race blood at the Altar of Awakening. - Completed!

Stage 2: Without help from the Kingdom of the Undersea or the royal family, you must hunt 300 Hidden Clams and claim their Bloodline Purifying Pearl. - Completed!

Rewards: 1 Divine Treasure Chest, 10,000,000 platinum, Unique Building: Sea God's Dock.」

Draco checked the map and was pleased. It seemed that Poseidon was not short-sighted and anticipated that such a situation might occur, so anyone who reached perfection at Stage 1 could skip Stage 2 and 3.

Stage 4 was to move out to the Gate of the Deep Vault where the true trials lay. Draco immediately turned to King Neptune, who understood what he meant.

"From the moment you appeared, we have been mobilizing our army. Everything should be ready, and we can head out now." King Neptune revealed prudently.

Draco nodded with satisfaction. "Lead the way, Your Majesty."

King Neptune brought the group out of the Coral Palace and pointed upwards. There, the group could see a massive ship that was built for the underwater world that glowed with endless runes hovering above the kingdom, hundreds of mermen soldiers getting aboard.

The sight was magnificent, and the ship was even moreso. It was a golden ship with the figurehead of a beautiful merman, glowing masts made of hardened Water Element and of a size that could trump the Empire State Building in terms of height, and as long as a small city on Earth.

King Neptune led them up to the bow of the ship, where they were supposed to stand while the ship moved. Hundreds of thousands of Merman Soldiers lined the deck and stood orderly, their auras stable and their eyes determined.

Seeing this line-up, Draco and the core members were filled with confidence. It should be known that some of these fellows were Rank 5, with the majority being Rank 3 and a few Rank 4.

While Umbra had NPC troops at even higher Ranks, they did not have the sheer quantity. Even a Divine Empire on the Main Plane would be drowned to death by this sheer number of warriors, and this was only just a portion of the merman army, like 10%.

No wonder no one dared to fuck with the Kingdom of the Undersea, not even the underwater monsters. Otherwise, they might be forced into extinction by these innumerable army and sent down the path of no return.

The core members got onto the ship and looked around with curious expressions. They were a stark contrast from the silent and rigid soldiers, but it also went to show how nervous the crew was.

King Neptune finally came aboard and then spoke to a few key personnel to make sure everything was set. Then with a blow of a horn, he raised his trident, and the ship was released, setting sail forward.

Draco stood right atop the figurehead, his formerly white hair now turned black due to the overwhelming strength of his bloodline compared to the Ultima Sunt bloodline, as well his lively green eyes that were no longer red due to the Eyes of Caelo, which was also suppressed by his Eternal bloodline.

He also changed his Dragorugio armor from a medium set to a pair of robes that Lucifer always wore that made him look exceedingly noble, holy and godly.

Just looking at his majestic back and feeling his aura, the hearts of Eva and Shuangtian began to thump and their bodies became hot.

Aish, their Draco was simply too handsome!

The male core members snorted and rushed forward to fight with Draco to stand atop there, so they could look cool, like a hero setting out on a world ending journey, while the female core members couldn't help but be moved by Draco as well.

Obviously, Draco had come to stand there to flex and cause trouble for his men, so how could he let them steal his moment? He quickly beat the fellows up and sent them flying back onto the deck, but they were relentless.

The women were looking on with confusion, wondering what the big deal was, but all the men, even the mermen and especially King Neptune, were watching with serious expressions, knowing that this was a moment of life and death for any hot-blooded male!
