Without even giving it a thought, Arnold dumped all of the EXP to level up his <Blood maniac> subclass by 2 levels.

________________________

"Evolution process? What\'s that?" Arnold asked the system.

________________________

Once a class/subclass reaches a certain level, the user would have the option of <Class Evolution> / <Subclass Evolution>. Evolving your class will increase your potential, power and will unlock a new set of abilities specific to that class/subclass. You also have a chance to unlock <Mythical> affinities. <Mythical> affinities are one of a kind and can only be unlocked after <Class evolution>

"Looks like it\'s gonna be a long journey." He smirked and closed the interface, he had more important matters to attend right now.

He conjured up 5 <Blood runes>, his HP went down by 2000 points but he didn\'t care about that as it was only temporary. Right now he was only focused on the blood that was spilt around him. He dipped one of the runes into a puddle of blood. The rune started glowing but this time the enquiry didn\'t turn blue, it turned golden.

He used his [PROBE] skill on the rune stone and a notification popped open as usual.

_________________________

OBJECT : <Blood rune> (Activated)

TYPE : Blood crystal

GRADE : A

REMARK : An extremely rare crystal which can be used to generate an ability from blood monsters, humans and any other sentient beings. The rune contains :

• [TORMENT] ability.

• [CHANT OF NEGATION] ability

• [BEAST\'S HOWL] ability

• [SONIC BOLT] ability

• [TOTAL DEFENSE] ability

<Limit reached!>

<Blood rune cannot extract more than 5 abilities>

_________________________

"So it means one stone can hold up to 5 abilities... and I, being the stupid-as* idiot kept using them after they extracted a single skill!" He smacked his head as he used another <Blood rune> to extract the ability from the dead man\'s body. Once it was done he used his [PROBE] skill on the golden rune.

_________________________

Rare ability obtained!

EXP +200

The rune contains :

• [TRANSFORMATION] ability.

_________________________

"Looks like a <Blood rune> can only hold one rare ability... I\'ll figure out how to use this later." He glanced at the body of the panthers, one which were apparently killed by Talos who was turned into scrap.

He quickly used the three remaining <Blood runes> on the blood of the panthers and the dead man to gain three more <Blood runes> carrying [TRANSFORMATION] ability. Even though Arnold didn\'t knew much about the mage, still he felt a bit sad for him but when he looked at Coco, he was hit on a different level. After all Coco was a porter, just like him. If it wasn\'t for the system, even Arnold could\'ve ended like this someday.

"No point reminiscing now..." He shook his head, "I already have a vague idea of who is behind all of this... and I\'ll make sure they pay for what they\'ve done."

He then placed all of the <Activated Blood runes> in his inventory and ordered three of this golems to take the dead bodies of Coco, the mage and Talos, and wait outside. He still needed to figure out what to do with the dead bodies of the assassins as the dungeon would soon close.

Generally the dungeons remained open till six hours after the boss had been defeated but he didn\'t know how long had it been since the boss was defeated. To know the accurate duration, one would have to contact the PRSD research department to know the actual duration.

He was completely clueless, but the system immediately cleared his doubts.

_________________________

The dungeon would remain open for 01:26 hour(s).

_________________________

"And how do you know that?" Arnold asked the system.

_________________________

The dungeons leak an ominous energy which continuously decreases as the time passes. This energy can be used to deduce the remaining duration of the dungeon.

"Your utility exceeds my expectations everytim-"

"Arnold." Nathan interrupted, "Father has summoned you for a meeting with The Family. They are trying to figure out, who is the mastermind of this attack and they think you would be able to provide some information about it."

"What about them?" Arnold pointed his head towards the body of the man and the panthers.

"The police and ambulances are in their way. We should leave it to them." Nathan replied.

"Do you trust them?"

"What do you mean?" Nathan asked.

"When I was attacked and Nicole nearly got kidnapped, the battle lasted for like 20-25 minutes. The police would\'ve taken around 10-15 minutes to reach there as the police station wasn\'t very far. But they reached at the scene after an hour. Moreover he usually patrolled the area every night but on that evening, not a single car was patrolling the neighborhood."

All the attribute points he had been spending to increase his intelligence, was finally showing their effect. Arnold could now clearly connect the dots, which had been hidden before.

"So you\'re trying to say is, that they are involved in it?"

"I\'m not a hundred percent sure, but yes, most probably they are."

"So what do you suggest we do?"

"First let\'s destroy everything, and take the bodies with us. I\'m sure someone in the family would be able to extract some information from them."

"And then?"

"We head to the meeting. I think I\'ve figured out who is behind this." Arnold\'s voice was calm but on the inside, he was seething with rage.
