The Crowned Greed: Transmigrated into a Demonic Dragon-Chapter 135 - 999 Existence Essence!

As the runes appeared, Dante read the first few lines.

"..."

Before they could fully form, he immediately covered Ruby’s eyes.

"W-why?!" Ruby complained, unable to see anything from Dante’s hand.

"I don’t think I can tell you... We’ll discuss this later." Dante gulped as he read the potion description.

⟨Bloody Growth⟩

⤷By sacrificing different parts of different dragons, a potion of countless sins was made. It is capable of accelerating the growth of the dragon bloodline, giving 5% instantly to the awakening percentage and 1% per month.

"..."

Dante hadn’t overreacted when he immediately changed his mind and covered Ruby’s eyes.

He forgot everything about threatening her with her ability. Dante was standing before a Rank 5 potion!!!

’And it’s fucking made of dragons! What the fuck?!’

In addition to that, the effect of the potion was so helpful, fixing the whole problem of the slow progress of the dragon bloodline compared to the demon bloodline.

’I understand now. If he was a demonic dragon, then he knew about that flaw. He prepared this to awaken his bloodlines faster!’

Dante felt a sense of terror and anticipation at the same time. Terror that only one item among them solved one of Dante’s major problems, so what about the other items?

There was also the fact that Greed used real dragons to make that potion. He could already guess why the demons were so hated by the dragons.

And anticipation, because they were now his!

’Should I drink it now?’ Dante wondered as he looked at the golden liquid with greed.

After considering it, he thought that drinking it now wouldn’t truly matter. Why would he keep something like that for later?

Dante dismissed the runes and gave Ruby one last glance: "Sorry, this is something that I really need and you can’t use it anyway. Oh, and please turn around and cover your eyes... just in case."

Ruby frowned but she obeyed without arguing. She immediately turned around, sat on the space, and buried her face into her lap.

"I’ll stay like this until you finish whatever you want... my brain just hurts..."

Dante nodded at her response and opened the bottle, frowning at the strong smell of blood.

’That guy is truly a monster.’ Sighing in pity, Dante drank the potion in one go.

He closed his eyes and prepared himself for the pain. Surprisingly, the pain never came.

"Why are you surprised? I’m not a masochist like you. Why would I prepare a painful potion?" Greed remarked casually above the table.

’Masochist? How the hell did you come to this conclusion?’

"I don’t know what to say. By coincidence, I witnessed a kid who saw some people disappearing and decided to stab his own heart."

"..."

Before Dante could open his mouth in response, he suddenly felt strength surging through his body.

The strength was overwhelming, and even addicting. It was like rising to the sky with one jump!

He wanted this feeling to last forever, but he wasn’t lucky enough, as it ended quickly.

Dragon Bloodline: 11% → 16%

• Vitality: 48 → 58

In addition to the overwhelming feeling of strength, Dante felt something else.

’My... arm?’

Dante looked at his left arm, rolled up his sleeve, and took off his glove.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Barely holding his laugh, he looked at his left arm with immense joy.

His right arm was segmented and had a thin exoskeleton like a centipede.

But his left arm?

The skin-colored scales covered his arm completely, from the shoulder to the fingers, his fingernails were as sharp as blades, likely able to cut even some metals, and his muscles seemed to be made of steel instead of flesh.

His arm surged with power that was more intense than the demonic arm. Dante could feel that some blades wouldn’t even be able to scratch him!

’How... How strong would I be at Rank 2? What about when I completely awaken the bloodline?’ Dante couldn’t help but wonder excitedly.

He wanted to test his new strength, as the 10 vitality points improved his entire body, not only his arms. But he decided to check the other items first.

He went to the syringe and channeled his silver ether.

[Freshness: 100%]

⟨Absolute Awakening⟩

⤷By sacrificing different parts of different dragons and greed demons, a potion of countless sins was made. It is capable of awakening the dragon bloodline and the demon bloodline and unleashing their full power for a short period. The duration depends on the current awakening percentage and the amount of injected liquid.

"..."

Dante’s hand trembled for a few moments. The next moment, he summoned his ring and stored both the syringe and the empty potion bottle.

’That’s insane... THAT’S INSANE!’

Greed didn’t only prepare a Rank 4 servant and a potion that could solve the problem of the demon bloodline, but he also prepared a liquid that could awaken his bloodlines completely for a short period!

In other words, only by using it, he could get 200 points of vitality, 200 points of demonic energy, and the benefits of the draconic and demonic parts!

And who knew what else awakening both the bloodlines would grant.

And now, Dante could do it!

That boost would be enough to kill a Rank 3 being!

Also, the duration depended on the amount of injected liquid. In other words...

’It can be used several times! Damn you, Greed!’

Dante had always been under the danger of being exposed and hunted by people who would come for his Crown, demon bloodline, dragon bloodline, or transmigrated soul. And now, he finally had a way to protect himself!

’Would I turn into that inscribed demonic dragon? Maybe that’s the awakening form.’

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, he shook his head and moved to the pouch.

Silver Ether Spell — Appraisal!

[Grade: 3]

[Type: Container]

[Materials: Spatial Jellyfish Skin (Grade 3), Spatial Golem Core (Grade 3), Abyssal Pig Leather (Grade 2)]

[Enchantment: A Storage For Cores]

[Durability: 100%]

⟨A Storage For Cores⟩

⤷An enchantment that allows the pouch to store up to 5 thousands Cores of Existence. The rank of the Core of Existence doesn’t matter.

"..."

Once again, Dante fell silent because of shock.

Of course that bastard prepared some Cores of Existence. Why wouldn’t he do that? Why the hell wouldn’t he?

’I see what he meant by "advancing". He wanted to possess my body and come here to advance in rank!’

But that was truly concerning.

Why would his advancement in rank be enough for some high beings to notice?? How impactful was it to need 30 minutes in a space where whatever happened wouldn’t exist?

How scary was that incomplete half-dead being who was living in Dante’s arm?

Dante quickly held the pouch upside down and opened it, letting all the cores fall to the ground.

With his high Mind state, he only needed a few minutes to count the hill of cores.

’5 thousands Rank 1 cores? Why is there no Rank 2 or Rank 3 cores at all?’

Dante was confused by this. Why wouldn’t the being who could prepare all that have some cores of other ranks? Were they that rare?

"Because I have a method to absorb Rank 1 cores as a Rank 2 being." Greed laughed: "I have other dungeons out there with other items and better cores, but I couldn’t keep everything in the same dungeon for more safety."

"Of course, you don’t know that method. I think you can use some of them as a payment for this little girl."

’Oh.’

Dante’s eyes fell on Ruby with a sense of relief. With these cores, she wouldn’t leave barehanded.

As fast as possible, Dante took the cores one by one and absorbed them.

Absorb, absorb, absorb!

He got a boost.

Then the second.

Then the third!

’I’m so close! Yeah, those couples wouldn’t even be a threat after I advance and return to them!’

However, after getting the last boost, and as he was about to finally advance, Greed’s voice resounded:

"I recommend keeping it at 999 for now. You’ll fall unconscious when they reach 1k, so you’d better keep that for the end. This area will disappear with everything inside after the 30 minutes period."

"Huh?"

Dante frowned at his words. Did that mean Dante had to store everything to prevent that?

’Of course I have. That’s probably why he kept the ring in the ancient ruins.’

Sighing in frustration, Dante turned around and tapped Ruby’s shoulder.

He officially had 999 Existence Essence!

"Are you done?" Ruby turned around and asked, only for a strange feeling to wash over her.

’Did he become more handsome or am I hallucinating?’

Dante’s face had a kind of mental attack that affected the minds of the others and worked better on the females.

His Mind stat increased after using the cores, therefore he looked more charming in Ruby’s eyes.

However, she didn’t think about his charm for so long, as she immediately saw something that was more handsome or beautiful than any man in the world.

"A-are those Rank 1 cores?!" Ruby’s mouth almost dropped some saliva when she looked at the core mountain.

"Yes, you’ll get paid with them later." Dante nodded: "And I’m not done yet. I only wish that you put them on that pouch while I check the other things."

Ruby crawled to the pouch, still giving her back to the tables, and examined the pouch.

"How am I supposed to do this?"

She took a core and put it into the pouch, and the next second, her jaw fell in disbelief!

"SPATIAL POUCH! THAT’S A REAL SPATIAL POUCH! HAHAHAHA!" Ruby screamed before proceeding to put all the cores inside.

All the spatial containers were extremely rare and hard to obtain. Only the strongest and richest beings were able to put their hands on them.

Suppressing a laugh, Dante moved to the next items, ignoring the order that Greed wanted.

His eyes were fixed on the strangest items in this space.

The coffins!
