The Hero of Hypnosis-Chapter 67: Drake Heart
Amaya’s eyes wiggled, and she didn’t understand how that could happen. "S-So you have the blood of the whole dragon species, and you didn’t awaken anything? How is that possible?"
Gwen shrugged. "Dunno. The elders didn’t know why either. We have the ability to communicate with dragons, and when they asked what was wrong with me, the Drake, Wyvern, and Dragon Lords all had no clue. So, I became an outcast. And to make matters worse, even my mana and strength were pitiful for my race. Sure, I’m strong for my level if I pose as a human, but for a dragonborn, I’m weak as fuck. I was treated like trash by everyone, even my own parents. So, I left. I promised to get strong on my own."
"Wait, your bloodline!" Kai shouted.
"Y-Yeah? What about it?"
’Her status says that her bloodlines need to be stabilized. What does that mean? Could that be the reason why she can’t shift?’
"Gwen, do you have siblings?"
"Yes. A ton."
"Are they able to shift?"
She nodded.
"Do you have any siblings with a different attribute?"
"Yeah. Some awakened their drake blood or wyvern blood, while others awakened their dragon blood."
"And have your bloodlines ever clashed?"
She raised an eyebrow. "No. Wyverns and Drakes are lesser dragons, so they wont clash with dragon blood because they are all dragons."
"And how do you feel?"
"Right now? Other than the fact that I hate remembering my past, I feel fine."
"No, no, not that. Your dragon heritage. How do you feel? Like your body, your existence, your instincts, your being."
Gwen didn’t expect him to ask a question like that, so it caught her off guard, but after thinking for a bit, she came to a conclusion.
"Incomplete. And it’s not because I know I can’t shift, but because I can physically feel that I’m incomplete. Think of it as not having an arm when you know and can feel that you’re supposed to have two."
"I see. So, what if you ate a Drake’s heart?"
She shook her head. "It wouldn’t do anything. I’m already a dragonborn, it will just be as if I were eating a piece of meat."
"Babe, trust me. Eat the heart."
’If I’m correct, she can’t shift because all of her bloodlines are fighting against each other when they’re normally supposed to operate in harmony. So, if we have her regain power from the source, then she should be able to activate her drake blood. But for her other two bloodlines, we’ll need a wyvern and dragon heart.’
"Fine. But it won’t work."
Kai cut out the drake’s heart from his inventory and handed it to Gwen.
She stared at it for a while, contemplating whether she should eat it or not, but after seeing Kai cheer her on, she devoured the whole thing.
After gulping and licking her fingers, she looked back at him and sighed.
"Told you. Nothing." Her body instantly went into a trance, her eyes glowing bright blue, and her arms and legs growing scales.
Her mana doubled, and her presence became powerful. So powerful that Amaya clung onto Kai by instinct.
When her trance ended, she dropped back on the bed and slowly opened her eyes.
"What just...what just happen-" She paused, looking down at her arms. Shiny red scales, sharp talons, and a feeling of strength she had never felt before.
"I-I shifted? H-How? Is this real? There’s no way!"
"Ha! So your bloodlines are not able to merge with each other because of how pure they are. So, in order to awaken your true potential, you need to consume the heart of a wyvern and a dragon." Kai smiled.
"I can’t believe it! The solution was right there; it was so simple! Oh my gosh! Thank you, Kai! Thank you so much!"
She jumped into his arms, kissed him on the cheek, and cried over his shoulder.
"Haha, no problem. I’m glad I was able to-AHHH! The claws! Watch your claws!

’Holy shit, her dragon bonus skyrocketed like crazy! She’s also a tier three mage now. We can officially become a C-Rank party now.’
"Kai! Kai! I want to test out my new power! Come, let’s go! Please!" Gwen begged
"Slow down there, take this time to clear your mind and meditate. We’ll be leaving in two days for the expedition anyway. You can test your power out then."
"Booo! You suck! I wanna do it now! Amaya, you’re with me, right?"
"Yeah, girl. Let’s go!" She grabbed her sword.
"Really, you two? Actually, no, I understand how you feel, Gwen. I was like that as well when I got strong. Fine, I’ll go."
"Yay!"
But it seems fate wasn’t on their side, or maybe it was, because the moment they left the inn, all hell broke loose.
"RUN!"
"IT’S THE BLIGHT! THE INFECTED!"
"EVACUATE THE TOWN!"
"HELP!"
"NO! PLEASE DON’T EAT ME! ARGHHHH!"
"MOMMY! MOMMY! WHERE ARE YOU-ARGHGHGHGHG!"
Kai looked around, pointing his fingers in each direction with a confused expression. "Did we like...Did we miss something? I could have sworn everything was normal a few moments ago."
"Oh, thank goodness you’re okay!" The woman mage Kai met in the inn said, slightly out of breath.
"What’s happening?" Amaya asked.
"It’s the Blight-infected; they broke through the town walls. We don’t know how, but they’re causing a ton of destruction and are infecting people at high rates. All the guards, town knights, Adventurers, and even mercenaries who were in town are fighting them off. A shit ton of them got infected since we were caught off guard. I was sent to find you so you can heal them before it’s too late."
Kai entered serious mode. "Where are they?"
"The guild, we’re using it as a base for now."
Kai grabbed everyone and teleported them to the Adventurers’ guild.
