【Bloodline is a Thug Chapter 219】

219. Incarnate Form (2)

“You intend to face me without wielding the Vessel’s power…?”
Kwon Hyuk asked with evident skepticism.
“Are you asking me to believe that?”
“Well, you don’t have to believe it if you don’t want to.”
Kwon Han-ul replied without the slightest concern.
“I’m not standing here to convince you, Uncle.”
Kwon Hyuk studied Kwon Han-ul’s expression before rising to his feet.
“You’re not lying, at least.”
“Unlike you, I’m not the type to hide my true self behind a mask.”
“You’ll come to regret this.”
“That’s something I’ll have to live with.”
Ha.
Kwon Hyuk burst into laughter as if amused, then took his stance. Dragon Horse Qi enveloped his body in black flames.
Kwon Han-ul summoned his own Dragon Horse Qi as well. Both men stood shrouded in black fire, eyes locked upon each other.
“I’ll teach you a lesson.”
“I doubt there’s much for me to learn.”
Kwon Hyuk kicked off the ground. Black flames raced across the earth before reaching Kwon Han-ul’s face in an instant.
Twisting his torso, he simultaneously swept his leg in a circular arc. His shin, wreathed in Dragon Horse Qi, carved through the air and drove toward Kwon Han-ul’s temple.
Kwon Han-ul raised his forearm to block the kick. The two different Dragon Horse Qi collided, pushing against each other.
“Impressive!”
Kwon Hyuk, driven backward, rushed forward again. He thrust his hand like a blade toward Kwon Han-ul’s neck.
Kwon Han-ul twisted his head to evade the strike. Simultaneously, he swung his fist to sweep at Kwon Hyuk’s abdomen.
But in that instant, black scales covered Kwon Hyuk’s torso.
As his fist collided with the black scales, a powerful rebound erupted. His leg was repelled, and Kwon Han-ul was sent flying backward.
“Hehehehe!”
Kwon Hyuk laughed while stroking his belly.
“The True Bloodline’s power is absolutely intoxicating! It cannot even be compared to the Pure Bloodline’s abilities!”
Kwon Hyuk, who had once reigned at the pinnacle as a Pure Bloodline member, now possessed the True Bloodline as well.
At this moment, Kwon Hyuk was strong enough to be called the mightiest Heukcheon in all of history.
“Shall I turn up the heat a bit more?”
Kwon Hyuk’s forehead split open, revealing a third eye. Simultaneously, horns sprouted from his head. A massive orb began to orbit around him.
The Thousand-Li Dragon Eye that dominated the surrounding environment, the Azure Sea Dragon Horn that amplified his own abilities—and now he unleashed the Wish-Granting Pearl.
Kwon Hyuk’s momentum swelled several times over. The entire world fell under his influence.
“Now then, shall we play again?”
Kwon Hyuk lifted his leg and struck the ground. Dragon Horse Qi erupted from the earth’s surface, hurtling toward Kwon Han-ul.
Kwon Han-ul released his own Dragon Horse Qi to intercept the attack. In that instant, Kwon Hyuk materialized before his eyes.
“Ahahaha!”
Kwon Hyuk burst into wild laughter, unleashing a barrage of attacks at Kwon Han-ul. With each movement of his hands, Dragon Horse Qi swept across the entire world.
“Why aren’t you fighting back? If you’re truly a bloodline user, shouldn’t you be responding accordingly?”
Kwon Hyuk, intoxicated with exhilaration, continued to press Kwon Han-ul relentlessly.
“Is this all you’ve got? Show me those other bloodlines you boast about so much!”
“I was planning to do exactly that.”
In that moment, Kwon Han-ul surged forward and swept a devastating kick toward Kwon Hyuk’s solar plexus.
Kwon Hyuk protected his torso with Dragon Scale Armor once more.
The Dragon Scale Armor and the kick collided. The armor shattered into fragments.
Kwon Han-ul’s kick pierced through the Dragon Scale Armor and drove deep into Kwon Hyuk’s abdomen. With a sickening sensation of rupturing organs, Kwon Hyuk’s body flew backward.
“Hack! Cough! Ughhhh!”
Kwon Hyuk spat blood from his mouth, writhing in agony. Yet he couldn’t help but wonder—how was this possible? Dragon Scale Armor was supposed to be an impenetrable shield.
“The Black Dragon Bloodline is indeed a formidable lineage.”
It grants the instincts of a dragon, enabling optimal combat efficiency, while bestowing countless powerful abilities.
It’s no coincidence that the Heukcheon Family is regarded as the strongest in the world. The power of the Black Dragon Bloodline is simply that extraordinary.
“But it’s not supreme in every aspect.”
Kwon Han-ul’s leg was bathed in golden light—the ability of the Superhuman Bloodline known as Adamantine Indestructibility, which had shattered the Dragon Scale Armor and inflicted a mortal wound.
“Dragon Scale Armor is an excellent defensive ability, but in terms of raw physical power, it cannot surpass the Superhuman Bloodline’s capabilities.”
In close combat, even the Heukcheon Bloodline users must yield to the Superhuman Bloodline. That’s how formidable its power truly is.
“Tch, I took a solid hit.”
Kwon Hyuk wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. Unlike the first blow, his complexion had improved.
Thanks to the True Bloodline’s regenerative abilities, his internal injuries were healing rapidly.
“I won’t be careless anymore. Now I’ll show you what I’m truly capable of.”
With those words, Kwon Hyuk summoned Dragon Horse Qi. Yet he couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“…What is that now?”
Blades forged from crimson aura danced around Kwon Han-ul.
“Nothing special. It’s an ability of the Asura Bloodline.”
“Nothing…special?”
Each time the blades cut through the air, a chilling sensation of flesh being severed washed over him. The aura’s sharpness was so acute that it created this phenomenon.
For a powerhouse of Kwon Hyuk’s caliber to feel such dread. And he calls it nothing special?
“You asked me to show you. So I’m showing you.”
Before the words even finished, the blades came hurtling forward.
Kwon Hyuk swatted all the blades away with Dragon Horse Qi-infused fists. The blades shattered like glass.
Just as he thought they were nothing after all, another blade came flying.
“What are you trying to accomplish with such fleeting techniques?”
As Kwon Hyuk moved to strike the blade away, its trajectory suddenly shifted.
It evaded his incoming fist and drove straight into Kwon Hyuk’s thigh.
“Ugh?”
Kwon Hyuk seized the blade and shattered it. The blade vanished, but the wound on his thigh remained.
There was no opportunity for first aid. More blades were hurtling toward him in succession.
The blades that followed also darted about erratically, evading Kwon Hyuk’s fists. And whenever an opening appeared, they grazed his bare skin as they passed.
“Impossible?”
Such a feat was impossible without reading every movement of the opponent.
But this made no sense.
Reading movements was only possible when the gap between fighters was vast. In other words, it could only occur between a master and a novice.
Kwon Hyuk was the third-strongest fighter in the Kwon Family, after Kwon Seon-woo and Kwon Myung-woo.
He possessed tremendous skill and had experienced countless battles.
Kwon Han-ul’s abilities surpassed his own?
“Nonsense!”
Kwon Hyuk roared with fury and unleashed his mana. He enveloped his entire body in Dragon Scale Demon Armor.
The blades were sharp, but not sharp enough to pierce Dragon Scale Demon Armor.
“Your parlor tricks won’t work anymore!”
Kwon Hyuk charged forward with this momentum toward Kwon Han-ul. He intended to close the distance and settle this once and for all.
Even as his enemy rushed toward him, Kwon Han-ul made no move to evade. He stood with his fist clenched and his eyes closed.
“Fool! What are you doing with your enemy right before you!”
Kwon Hyuk closed the distance further. Only a few steps remained between him and Kwon Han-ul.
Suddenly, a brilliant light poured forth from Kwon Han-ul’s form.
“It took a while to prepare. I barely managed to awaken it, but it requires some preparation to use.”
Kwon Han-ul raised his fist. A brilliant light gathered on its surface.
Kwon Hyuk’s face went blank at the sight. Soon he muttered in disbelief.
“…Kwon Gang?”
A transcendent technique that could only be acquired by pushing one’s individual abilities to their absolute limit, regardless of bloodline.
Within the Kwon Family, where masters abounded, only Kwon Myung-woo had succeeded in mastering this technique.
“Uncle, bite down hard.”
Kwon Han-ul thrust his fist forward.
Brilliant light pierced through Kwon Hyuk.

* * *

Kwon Hyuk gathered every ounce of his magical power to block Kwon Gang’s assault.
Kwon Gang obliterated Kwon Hyuk’s dragon horse technique and dragon scale armor in their entirety, striking directly at his torso.
Fortunately, the weakened impact allowed him to avoid having his body pierced clean through.
“Gasp! Huff! Gasp!”
But his entire body’s stamina had been completely drained. Kwon Hyuk knelt on the ground, gasping for breath.
“Huff, gasp!”
The entire situation was unbearably humiliating for Kwon Hyuk.
“Uncle, do get up.”
At that moment, Kwon Han-ul looked down at Kwon Hyuk and spoke.
“Surely it’s not over already?”
Kwon Hyuk gritted his teeth with a grinding sound. He wiped the blood from his lips and rose to his feet.
“The main course is still to come. What are you talking about?”
“How intriguing. Then by all means, show me.”
“Very well.”
Kwon Hyuk’s magical power erupted. Eerie energy rippled outward in all directions as a colossal dragon materialized before them.
The dragon-transformed Kwon Hyuk looked down at Kwon Han-ul and spoke.
-Now the real battle begins!

* * *

Divine Transformation.
A power that only those who have reached the pinnacle of their bloodline can obtain.
Those who gain this power can transform into the primordial creature that is the source of their bloodline.
The strength obtained through this is beyond imagination. Even Kwon Seon-woo alone inflicted catastrophic damage upon the Mei Family through Divine Transformation alone.
-Yes, this is the power.
Kwon Hyuk, having unleashed Divine Transformation once more, spoke with an intoxicated expression.
-This power alone brings me true joy! Such omnipotence and liberation—I have never experienced anything like it!
Kwon Hyuk cried out in ecstasy.
Then Kwon Han-ul posed a question to Kwon Hyuk.
“Uncle, do you know how one reaches Divine Transformation?”
Kwon Hyuk paused and looked at Kwon Han-ul.
-What are you suddenly talking about?
“I’m asking whether you know the proper method to obtain Divine Transformation—not through suspicious experiments like yours, but through legitimate means.”
Kwon Hyuk did not answer. Rather, he could not.
“Kwon Myung-woo, the director known as the Heukcheon First Fist Master, never obtained Divine Transformation. Yet the Chairman did. Do you know what the difference is?”
-Why are you asking such pointless questions? Are you trying to buy time?
“I discovered the answer recently. It is anguish.”
At those words, Kwon Hyuk could not help but furrow his brow.
-What nonsense are you spouting now?
As if he had not expected an answer, Kwon Han-ul continued speaking.
“Through anguish, wrestling with doubt and conflict repeatedly, the moment a person reflects upon themselves, they ascend to a higher plane. That very realm is the state of the Transformed Body.”
Kwon Seon-woo lost a cherished child due to his own stubbornness. Paradoxically, it was through that sorrow and suffering that Kwon Seon-woo completed the Jade Pearl and obtained the Transformed Body.
-So what? What does that have to do with me?
Kwon Hyuk spoke in a flat tone.
-I’ve already obtained the Transformed Body. I don’t need to know such things.
“Aren’t you curious how I came to know this fact?”
In that instant, an ominous premonition flickered across his mind.
-Could it be…?
The ominous premonition became reality the moment Kwon Han-ul unleashed his magical power.
Tremendous magical force rippled outward in all directions. Simultaneously, Kwon Han-ul’s body began to transform.
The third dragon revealed itself.
