Chapter 26: ???
Chapter 26: ???
"Will I see you again?" Raven stopped before the golden door, glancing back at the Guardian and the Merchant.
This was his last day in the Bloodline Trial. Once he received his Bloodline, he was going to be sent to the real world of Hellfire, where there were no guides. Everyone had to find out everything themselves.
"I have a feeling we will," The Guardian of Bloodline Trial smiled, as he pulled out a small token from his pocket.
He stepped closer to Raven, and handed over the small coin shaped token to the young man.
Raven held the small token in his hand, frowning. "What is this?"
"Think of it as a good luck charm." The Guardian spoke, before lightly pushing Raven through the door.
Holding the small token in his hand, Raven disappeared into the void.
Remaining behind, the Merchant just gazed at the Guardian.
"I never thought there would be a day when I\'ll see you give your personal recommendation to someone. You didn\'t even give your recommendation to Arze. Why now?"
The Guardian of the Bloodline Trial simply laughed. "Who knows."
Gradually, his form transformed into a mere illusion until he disappeared entirely.
The Merchant was left behind, scratching the back of his head in confusion.
....
Raven felt a rush of wind as he was transported to an unknown location.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself in an unknown place. It was as if he was standing over the clouds, where everything around him was nothing but stark white.
In the distance, a small crystal sphere was floating, shrouded in a mysterious aura.
The reason was unknown to him, but the aura seemed to beckon him nearer. Its sensation was overwhelmingly soothing and delightful.
Fortunately, he had already heard about it before, so he wasn\'t scared.
He stepped closer to the floating crystal sphere in the distance. The closer he came, the more soothing it became for him.
Finally, he stood right beside the sphere and stretched out his hand to touch it. As soon as his fingers made contact, the sphere pulsed with a bright light and a voice rang out.

Raven looked at all three screens carefully pondering.
Not much information was provided about all these bloodlines, especially about their Advantages and Disadvantages.
However, one thing was certain. They were all Mythical Level Bloodlines, which were the strongest that have ever been given in the Bloodline Trials. Even Arze didn\'t receive a Bloodline of this grade.
Raven knew that choosing the right bloodline would determine his fate and path towards becoming a legend in this world. He took a deep breath and focused on his intuition and instincts, hoping they would guide him towards the right decision.
He was initially tilted toward the first Bloodline, which allowed him to use the Undead to fight.
Since Necromancers were used a lot in stories in the Human World, he knew quite a lot about the advantages this class could have in large scale battles. He could simply rely on the Undead.
Moreover, the system also said that this Bloodline belonged to a Demon King who was one of the strongest in his time. This was exactly what he needed.
Despite being clear on what he wanted, he wasn\'t hasty, since the second Bloodline he was granted belonged to a god.
After thinking for quite some time, he let out a sigh and reached out his hand to select the Necromancer Bloodline. However, just as he was about to touch the screen, he frowned, feeling a strange aura around him.
The black rusted sword behind him was trembling slightly for some reason, as it shrouded Raven in its majestic aura.
While Raven was still stunned about why his sword was so active, he noticed another screen appear before him which made him shocked.
[An Unknown Bloodline is available]

Without a second thought, Raven agreed. His curiosity took over.
