【Bloodline is a Thug Chapter 115】

115. The Sanchez Family (5)

Maria Sanchez immediately dismissed the thought.
Kwon Han-ul was of the Heukcheon Bloodline. He possessed the Black Dragon Bloodline and had mastered the family’s secret techniques.
There was no way such a man could wield the powers of the Superhuman Bloodline—let alone the True Superhuman Bloodline.
It had to be her mistake. That was when it happened.
Another transformation rippled through Kwon Han-ul’s body.
The muscles across his entire frame convulsed before swelling to enormous proportions in an instant.
“…Colossal Amplification?”
One of the foundational powers of the Superhuman Bloodline.
It temporarily increased muscle mass to enhance physical capabilities. At higher levels, it could even expand the skeletal structure itself.
Maria Sanchez rubbed her eyes.
Yet the transformation occurring in Kwon Han-ul was unmistakably the phenomenon of Colossal Amplification in use.
Then, just as suddenly, his swollen musculature contracted. Simultaneously, his skin began to take on a grey hue.
“This is…”
Unfamiliar.
But she knew of it nonetheless.
According to the family’s archives, the powers of the True Superhuman Bloodline were fundamentally different from those of inferior bloodlines.
Just as the True Superhuman Bloodline wielded Diamond Resonance rather than Protective Resonance, it did not employ Colossal Amplification.
Titan’s Blessing.
Colossal Amplification in its original form was a power that enhanced the user’s body by increasing muscle mass or expanding the skeletal structure.
But Titan’s Blessing was different. Titan’s Blessing transformed the user’s very body itself.
Into that of Pangu, the primordial giant from which the Superhuman Bloodline originated.
“…I don’t know what’s happening here.”
Maria Sanchez’s killing intent intensified.
“But that doesn’t change what I have to do.”
A white giant materialized behind Maria Sanchez.
The giant’s form dispersed, wrapping around her body.
It was a secret technique—one of the advanced applications of Gigantification that concentrated the giant’s destructive power into a single point.
“I’ll crush you to pieces.”
Maria Sanchez’s fist tore through the empty air, hurtling forward.
Extreme enhancement through special stimulants.
Amplified destructive force from the concentrated Gigantification.
The sound arrived only after her fist reached Kwon Han-ul.
“Hah!”
Maria Sanchez’s hands and feet relentlessly battered Kwon Han-ul without pause.
She moved so fast that Maria Sanchez’s body became a blur.
But.
No matter how much she struck, it was futile. She couldn’t penetrate the Diamond Aura surrounding Kwon Han-ul’s body.
Every attack from Maria Sanchez was blocked by the Diamond Aura.
Rather, the impact was accumulating in Maria Sanchez’s own fists.
Each time Maria Sanchez struck the Diamond Aura, her protective energy scattered.
There was no way bare fists could break through the Diamond Aura. As a result, Maria Sanchez’s knuckles began to deteriorate steadily.
A grinding sound escaped her teeth.
Maria Sanchez gritted her teeth. She poured everything into one final blow.
But the moment she extended that fist, Kwon Han-ul caught it.
“You’re not getting away from this!”
At that moment, Kwon Han-ul’s earlobes turned completely gray. The transformation from the Colossal Blessing Divine Force had finished.
As the transformation completed, a message appeared.
【You have manifested the Divine Ability ‘Colossal Blessing Divine Force’! Your body draws closer to Pangu!】
【Your transformed body adapts to SS-rank strength!】
【The restriction on SS-rank strength is released!】
It was a message only Kwon Han-ul could see—invisible to Maria Sanchez.
The moment the message appeared, Kwon Han-ul’s aura overwhelmed Maria Sanchez.
Overwhelmed didn’t even begin to describe it. Maria Sanchez’s aura was crushed beneath his, vanishing completely. This entire area was now dominated entirely by Kwon Han-ul.
Kwon Han-ul gripped Maria Sanchez’s fist with crushing force.
“Ugh!”
The excruciating pain nearly forced a scream from Maria Sanchez’s lips.
She tried to wrench her hand free, but it was useless. No matter how much strength she exerted, she couldn’t escape his grip.
“I hate to say this, but—”
Kwon Han-ul suddenly spoke.
“You were genuinely formidable. If circumstances weren’t so peculiar, I’d have had quite the struggle.”
Maria Sanchez possessed a superhuman bloodline and served as a member of Pandemonium’s council.
Her experience alone far surpassed his. Her skill was beyond question.
Even Jose Dil Pablo, whom Kwon Han-ul had fought before, couldn’t compare to Maria Sanchez’s prowess.
“But since things have come to this, there’s no helping it.”
Kwon Han-ul placed his hand on top of Maria Sanchez’s head. She could only stare helplessly at what was coming.
“See you later.”
He poured strength into his hand. Channeling his full SS-rank strength, he drove Maria Sanchez’s head downward.
Maria Sanchez’s head crashed into the earth.
The ground completely shattered beneath the impact.

* * *

I withdrew my hand from Maria Sanchez’s head.
Though I had pressed down with considerable force, it hadn’t been a direct strike to a vital point, so Maria Sanchez was still alive.
“If only you would submit so obediently, how pleasant that would be.”
【You have completely defeated the inferior superhuman bloodline!】
【The true superhuman bloodline is greatly satisfied!】
【The assimilation rate of the superhuman bloodline increases!】
【34% -】 40%>
【You have satisfied the manifestation conditions for the ‘Phantom Beast Bloodline’!】
【From now on, you can manifest a half-incarnation of ‘Pangu’!】
The rewards were quite substantial.
Though I hadn’t gained a new ability, I could now manifest Pangu’s half-incarnation form.
“I need to finish this completely.”
I grasped Maria Sanchez with my ring-adorned hand and activated the power of the Retainer Bloodline.
【The ‘Retainer Bloodline’ dominates the target.】
【You have successfully dominated an astonishingly powerful target!】
【The assimilation rate of the ‘Retainer Bloodline’ rises sharply!】
【27% -】 40%>
【The assimilation rate has reached 40%.】
【You acquire the ability ‘Phantom Realm’!】
Indeed, Maria Sanchez was an extraordinarily skilled fighter.
The assimilation rate had jumped up by 13% in an instant. I had never seen such a case before. Thanks to this, I acquired one more ability.
But it wasn’t over yet.
【The assimilation rate has exceeded 40%.】
【The ‘Retainer Bloodline’ combines with the ‘Phantom Beast Bloodline’.】
【’Vampire Lord’ is added to the manifestation options.】
【Upon satisfying special conditions, you can manifest a half-incarnation of ‘Vampire Lord’.】
“Vampire Lord?”
Now that I thought about it, I had never heard about the origins of the Retainer Bloodline.
“What special conditions are they referring to?”
Normally, to transform into a half-incarnation, one only needed to exceed a 40% assimilation rate.
But with the Retainer Bloodline, not only was it added to the manifestation options after exceeding 40%, but additional conditions were required.
“In any case, this is also a peculiar bloodline.”
Just as the superhuman bloodline couldn’t kill the same bloodline, each bloodline possessed different characteristics.
It was when I tried to check the conditions of the Retainer Bloodline.
“Ugh… ugh…”
Maria Sanchez regained consciousness.
“What… what is happening…”
Maria Sanchez, clutching her head in pain, spotted me.
In that instant, murderous intent flashed across her face.
“Kwon Han-ul!”
“Kneel.”
At that single command, Maria Sanchez immediately prostrated herself on the ground. A deep look of bewilderment crossed her face.
“You can’t disobey my orders right now. Don’t entertain foolish thoughts. You’ll only exhaust yourself for nothing.”
Kwon Han-ul collapsed onto the floor with a heavy thud. Since all nearby objects had been sent flying, he couldn’t find anything to use as a chair.
“If you understand, you may raise your head.”
At those words, Maria Sanchez immediately straightened her back. She pointed accusingly at Kwon Han-ul and shouted.
“What have you done to me?”
“I dominated you. Don’t ask for details.”
“Release me at once!”
“Bury your face.”
Maria Sanchez pressed her face back into the ground.
Now that all her powers had been deactivated, she had reverted to the form of a frail girl, yet Kwon Han-ul issued commands without hesitation.
“She’s quite defiant. Is this what happens when you dominate someone this powerful?”
However, seeing that Maria Sanchez couldn’t resist his commands in the slightest, there was no real problem.
Kwon Han-ul released the command. Maria Sanchez raised her head again.
“By dominating me… what are you planning to do?”
“I haven’t really thought about it yet. I only dominated you because I couldn’t kill you anyway.”
“You couldn’t kill me…? Don’t tell me you actually…”
Maria Sanchez’s face went rigid.
“How could the Heukcheon Bloodline possess a superhuman bloodline…? What in the world is the Kwon Family doing! You devils!”
“I’ve heard similar words before. The Kwon Family’s reputation really isn’t good, is it?”
Kwon Han-ul waved his hand dismissively.
“It’s true that I possess a superhuman bloodline, but it has nothing to do with the Kwon Family.”
“Then how do you have two bloodlines?”
“I don’t know much about that either, so don’t ask.”
Maria Sanchez asked no further questions.
Though she clearly wanted to ask more, she couldn’t defy Kwon Han-ul’s command not to.
“Ah, I have something I’d like to ask you.”
Kwon Han-ul opened a pocket dimension and retrieved a small teacup.
Maria Sanchez’s eyes widened at the sight of it.
“Marcos Sanchez told me this is a treasure left behind by the founder of the Sanchez Family?”
Maria Sanchez clamped her mouth shut, desperately trying not to answer.
But ultimately, she had no choice but to speak.
“…Yes. It’s something the founder left behind.”
“How do you use this? Marcos Sanchez didn’t know. Do you?”
She couldn’t say that.
Maria Sanchez desperately tried to suppress herself, but it was futile.
Regardless of her will, her mouth was spilling everything.
“You break it. Then you can absorb the arrangements the founder left behind.”
“If that’s the case, why make it look like a teacup in the first place?”
Kwon Han-ul examined the teacup with a somewhat bewildered expression.
“Only someone with a superhuman bloodline can shatter this cup. It breaks in response to the defensive aura.”
“What about the contents of the cup?”
“I don’t know.”
Maria Sanchez shook her head.
“There’s nothing left of it.”
“Is that so?”
Kwon Han-ul gripped the teacup in his hand. He started to crush it but stopped himself.
“I’ll take my time breaking this apart later.”
Kwon Han-ul turned his gaze toward Maria Sanchez.
“What should I do with you?”
At those words, Maria Sanchez trembled slightly.
A superior superhuman bloodline cannot directly kill an inferior one.
But that only meant direct killing was impossible. If one desired it, the methods were endless.
One could have someone else do it, or administer poison.
“I could simply take you as a prisoner to the Hukcheon Estate… but something feels incomplete about that.”
Kwon Han-ul stroked his chin, contemplating for a long moment.
Then a thought occurred to him.
“Come to think of it, you hold quite a high position within the Sanchez Family, don’t you?”
“Yes.”
“How high exactly?”
“High enough that everyone has expectations of me.”
Maria Sanchez spoke with a sense of resignation. After all, she could not refuse Kwon Han-ul’s questions.
“Then could we target the head of the Sanchez Family?”
At those words, Maria Sanchez’s eyes widened as if they might burst from her skull.
“Why… why would you ask such a thing?”
“First, answer whether such a position exists or not.”
An ominous premonition washed over her.
She felt a strong conviction that she should not answer this question.
“…Yes.”
Yet her lips gave the answer anyway.
“Really? So that’s how it is?”
A smile bloomed across Kwon Han-ul’s lips. Maria Sanchez squeezed her eyes shut.
