Rise of Myriad Magic Emperor

Chapter 85: Kourin family Bloodline

It was already noon when Kai left the basement while princess-carrying the unconscious Alina covered in a white blanket.

Hearing the sounds of the basement opening, Oliver looked at Kai, who was covered in sweat and had a bad smell covering his body.

Oliver told Kai to go to the bathroom and take Alina with him so that he could wash her body while he prepared some clothes for her.

Kai nodded and entered the bathroom with Alina to take a bath.

"I know you are awake. Stop pretending to be unconscious.

"Hearing Kai's voice, Alina opened her eyes slowly and looked at Kai with a complicated expression.She had come to Chronos Magic Academy as an undercover spy, but she was so close to getting the information needed by the organization when she was caught by Oliver.

Since childhood, she had been trained and raised as the successor of the Vanlune family and had been acting as a spy and assassin since the age of ten, never failing a single mission.

This was the first time she failed and made up her mind to die, but unexpectedly, Oliver didn't do anything to her.

Whoknew that Oliver was such a sinister guy that would use such an underhanded method and knew about their succubus bloodline which wasn't known to outsiders of the clan.

Even members of the organization never shared information about their bloodlines and only knew that they all had some special non-human bloodline, inherited from previous generations.

To preserve the bloodline's purity, the families intermarried and rarely allowed anyone to get married to a person outside the family.

Tothink that just by having sex with Kai, her bloodline purity and rank increased. If her mother found out about it, she would have been happy, but now she was his servant.Her lower body had become numb from the intense pounding.

Just thinking about how she was acting before made her face red.

WhileAlina was busy thinking, Kai finished taking his bath and looked at Alina just when he was about to leave.

"The Headmaster has brought clothes for you. He placed them outside the bathroom. After you are done bathing, get changed and meet me in the dining room."

Alina nodded with a blank expression and started washing her body.Oliver, who was sitting on the sofa, saw Kai coming and smiled.

"How are you feeling? After such an intense session, I have to say, Kai, you really got some stamina to go on and on for 4 hours."

He gave Kai a thumbs up.

Gettingpraised for such a thing made Kai feel embarrassed as he looked at the clock, which was showing 12:10 pm, and adjusted back his mentality and looked at Oliver with a serious expression.

"Headmaster, can you now give me the method to control and cultivate spiritual energy?"

Oliver nodded and took out a golden paper with strange letters and placed it on the table.

"This is the method, but before you take it, I'd like to talk about the issue related to your ancestors and the founding king of Buraford, Eragon Buraford, and some other things that I'll like you to know," said Oliver with a serious expression as he looked at Kai.

Kai nodded.

After all, he couldn't ignore it as it was related to Oliver's family member's survival. He also wanted to know what Eragon did to make him a sinner.Before starting, Oliver looked at Kai again and started telling his story.

"Your founding king and ancestor, Eragon Buraford, was my third brother and was born in the Kourin clan. Since childhood, he didn't have much cultivation talent, but he was very hardworking and wanted to be recognized by Father. However, he wasn't ever due to our talented second brother."

Hearing that, Kai was shocked because that would mean he and Oliver were related by blood and how was he alive? Wasn't the maximum lifespan of a Magic Champion 1000 year? Kai decided to not ask this question and listen to Oliver's complete story.

"Our Kourin clan was once the strongest family in the continent, but due to Eragon's selfishness and hunger for Father's recognition,  it led to a disaster. He secretly stole the holy blood from the ancestor's palace and refined it, increasing his cultivation and reaching extremely close to the Saint stage. However, Father still didn't recognize him and declared him a traitor, kicking him out of the clan. Later on, Eragon, with the help of the Aristocratic families and his friends, created the Buraford Kingdom. Eragon's decision to take help from the various Aristocrat families gave them a chance to get to know each other and eventually lead to the formation of the Golden Star Cross, whose purpose was to increase the strength and influence of Aristocrat families."

Kai could see a bitter smile on Oliver's face while he talked about past events.

"Due to Eragon taking the holy blood, the clan was not able to take part in the Heavenly God trial 10,000 years ago and it led to the decline in power and bloodline purity in the following years. Meanwhile, the Aristocrat families became stronger and more influential."

Listening to Oliver's story, Kai could understand how the Kourin clan's decline was related to Eragon's thievery and how it played a role in the creation of the Golden Star Cross as he looked at Oliver.

"Headmaster, what are the Holy Blood and the Heavenly God trial?" asked Kai curiously.

"Holy Blood is a heaven-defying treasure that can only be acquired after completing the Heavenly God trial every 10,000 years. It has a mysterious power that can turn any magic user into a Battle Mage, increase one's cultivation to a great extent or increase a bloodline's purity. But, to take part in the Heavenly God trial, one must be a Battle Archmage at an age younger than 30 years. As my age had already passed 30 back then, I was not able to participate in the previous trial. So, my father planned on giving the opportunity to my second brother, Darvi, who was a spirit magic user when him breaking through to the Magic Warrior stage made him a Battle Archmage. However, due to Eragon, it didn't happen. Eragon was also a Battle Mage," said Oliver bitterly.

"Such a heaven-defying treasure exists?" asked Kai in shock.

"Yes, and on October 15th of this year, the trial will once again start and send the new Battle Archmage from their side. I also want to give you a chance to take part in it," said Oliver seriously.

"Ah! Do I really have to?" asked Kai.

"Yes, The clan has decided to kill all of Buraford's family and end Eragon's bloodline. There years, I have been suppressing it, but I don't have much time left in this world. I'll most likely be dead by next year," said Oliver.

Kai thought for some time.

'I don't fear this Kourin family. If they try anything funny, I can just command Jai and the others to get rid of them, but I also want to know what kind of trial is the Heavenly God trial.'

Then, he replied.

"Ok, I will participate."
