Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Taste of Blood



The cool morning air carried the scent of the bloody ocean, as if nature itself is taking a deep breath.

As the minutes pass, the sky transforms into a brilliant blue. The once dark silhouette of trees now revealed intricate details, as if they were carefully etched against the sky.

With the sunlight falling over his face, Eren slowly woke up from his slumber. Stretching his arms, he took in the breathtaking view before him, noticing that he was covered by a blanket.

Not far from him, he saw Xiu Ying who had woken up before him. She was standing before flames, cooking something, possibly for him.

It wasn\'t hard to see the corpse of the Sea Serpent as everywhere Eren looked, he could see the Sea Serpent. That creature was just so huge.

When he woke up, he had thought that maybe the last night was a dream. However, when he looked at the corpse, he realized that it was true. He had actually hunted that creature.

He touched the Pendant of Poison around his beck. This was the reward that he had received after hunting the Sea Serpent and the reward truly had not disappointed him.

This reward from the Pendant Series was just as special, maybe even more.

[Pendant of Poison]

[Uses left: 3/3]

[Effects: Can turn your blood into the most potent Poison for ten minutes]

[Warning: If the pendant is touched by someone other than you, the person would be under unknown poison effect]

Even with his identification skill, he wasn\'t able to get more details. He wasn\'t informed about the actual strength of this Poison.

However, with this being a pendant series reward, he had a feeling that it could only surpass his expectations. Maybe it could even kill an Overlord.

The only problem was the use of this thing. Even if he could turn his blood into Poison, he had to find a way to use that poison. If only he could get the Poison ingested by the enemy, it could turn the tide of battle for him.

Eren moved the blanket aside, but as he was about to stand up, he noticed Celeste sleeping on his chest. As she was so light, it was impossible to notice her with just weight.

He carefully picked her up and placed her on the Phoenix\'s back.

"What are you making?" He walked over to Xiu Ying and hugged her from behind.

"The Sea Serpent," Xiu Ying replied, almost making Eren choke.

"I washed it well, so it should be edible and good for your health. But if you don\'t like it, I can make something else for you."

"It\'s fine. As long as it\'s not poisonous, I am fine."

Eren did not refuse. If anything, he knew he had to eat the Sea Serpent\'s meat. It wasn\'t because he wanted to taste it. It was all because he wanted to find out the conditions of his Devouring Skill.

He didn\'t know how this thing worked. That\'s why he had reserved the day just for testing. That\'s also why he brought this corpse here.

Eren walked back to the serpent. Its body was so vast that he had a feeling that couldn\'t finish it even if they were to eat that for a year.

"Maybe I can sell it. So far, I\'ve only been relying on talismans given by Xiu Ying. They are quite expensive. I will need to earn my own money, especially since I need to raise my disciples as well."

After a long and tired sigh, he pulled out a dagger and stabbed it in the Sea Serpent\'s skin, letting another trail of blood trickle out.

Eren filled the blood in the transparent glass and brought it near his lips.

"I feel like I will puke."

He looked at the crystal glass filled with blood of the beast that he had hunted.

"If only I knew how Devouring works, I wouldn\'t have to try it."

He took a deep breath and placed the glass near his lips. He gathered all the courage he had and raised the bottom of the glass, pouring the blood in his mouth.

In a single gulp, he drank the entire blood. He was completely prepared for puking, but his face revealed a surprise.

"This is... strangely delicious."

He weirdly looked at the body of the Sea Serpent. Although he did not know what blood was supposed to taste like, he had not expected this at least.

He felt like this blood could get people addicted easily, being more tasty than wine. It also affected his mind, making him feel better like mild drugs.

"Is it really supposed to be tasty or something is wrong with me?" He thought out loud as he filled the glass again.

He walked over to Xiu Ying and extended his hand.

"Can you try to taste it and tell me if it actually tastes good?"

Xiu Ying placed her hand over Eren\'s hands. From his hands, she took a sip.

"It tastes decent."

"I thought so..." Eren finished the rest, almost looking forward to what her cooking was going to taste like when they were using this material.

Although he was looking forward to seeing if the food was just as tasty, he was also a little disappointed.

He used Identification on himself, but he had not gained any new ability. He had not managed to devour the bloodline of the Sea Serpent either.

"If it\'s not blood, it might be meat."

As he waited for Xiu Ying to finish, he started gathering the blood of the Sea Serpent, which could easily become another source of income for him.

After twenty minutes, Xiu Ying called out to him, telling that food was ready.
