Gustav tried retracting it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fangs grew out of Falco’s mouth, and he quickly took a bite at Gustav’s leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Krrhhkkkk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small icicle-like covering appeared on Gustav’s leg, protecting him from the bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Gustav still felt the pain as Falco’s fangs pressed intensely against his leg.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fwooommm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav threw out a punch towards Falco’s face again, but he dislodged his fangs from Gustav’s leg to dodge the punch. Instantly, Gustav used this opportunity to pull himself from Falco’s grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning!!! Low Energy!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Warning!!! Energy points are below 200!!!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The system kept warning Gustav of his energy points that were currently below two hundred points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav couldn’t keep up the fight for too long, so he started thinking of a way out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav jumped backwards with speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, you’re still in there, right? Don’t let him control you like this... Are you really going to watch him kill a friend of Angy?\" Gustav voiced out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t care about that,\" Falco voiced out before dashing forward again, but just as he wanted to thrust out his fingers, his arm started trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, what are you doing, idiot? Why are you trying to regain control?\" Falco’s arms trembled while being stretched out halfway as he spoke to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falco’s face suddenly turned a bit lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you just say, Angy?\" Falco asked with a light masculine voice different from the dark and sinister tone that he had been using to speak earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Looks like it worked. I triggered the awakening of the original consciousness,’ Gustav was glad internally, but before he could reply, Falco spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing, idiot? Let me avenge my pride! This bastard knocked you out too,\" His mind went back to being dark and sinister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but if you harm him, Angy will be sad. You’ve done enough already,\" Falco’s voice went back to being light and gentle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You soft idiot, that’s why you and that girl are meant for one another! Let’s kill this bastard right here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav watched with a look of astonishment as Falco exchanged a conversation with himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, this is how two different consciousness in the same body communicate,’ It was as if Gustav was adding new knowledge to his collection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Sprint has been activated]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swooooshhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While they were arguing, Gustav suddenly dashed to the back of Falco and locked his neck in a tight grip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His arms transformed as he used the bull’s strength to squeeze Falco’s throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yo..u... Chea..ting bas...tard fig...ht me li..ke a man do..n’t use the...se ch..eap tact...ics,\" Falco’s alter ego was taken by surprise, so before he could act, Gustav, had locked him in a grip he couldn’t get out of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"On the battlefield, the only thing that counts is victory,\" Gustav voiced out as he kept squeezing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few more seconds, Falco’s eyes blanked out, and the dark tattoos on his body and face retracted back into his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plop!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fell to the ground unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav also fell to the ground and sat on his butt with a tired expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Petty idiot, how could you try to kill someone just because he knocked you out,’ Gustav wondered as he breathed in and out profusely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was glad he already put on clothes after leaving the previous battle scene. If not, it would have been an awkward meeting since Falco’s alter ego wasn’t being mind-controlled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I only have a little over hundred energy points left. I need to get out of here,’ Gustav said internally as he proceeded to stand up, but then a thought came to his mind, which made him halt his movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gustav brought out a rope and tied Falco tightly before lifting him and placing him on his shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It would be a pain in the butt if this guy is taken and ends up being a puppet of that rock being later on,’ Gustav thought as he activated dash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swooooshhh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few minutes, Gustav had arrived in a small settlement of inmates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ones also happened to be aliens, but unlike most, they weren’t hostile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found somewhere to settle down with Falco and started making plans to deal with the rock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I have to wait till I have regained my original stats back,’ Gustav calculated that only about an hour was left for his stats to return to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, it was midnight, but somehow a lot of participants were awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was mostly due to the fact that groups were being ambushed by participants with purplish glowing eyes all over the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The groups had to stay awake to battle these participants that ambushed them at unexpected times to steal their gathered stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today was the last day of the final test phase, and it would seem that everyone would be awake for the next twenty-four hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why would that rock being need me and the stones to be free... I have a feeling that the MBO doesn’t know about this. It is well above the level that kids my age can handle, but I think I’ve seen that location before,’ Gustav thought about the location of the rock existence and brought out his virtual map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the remnant energy from Life Signs Tracking, Gustav traced the location on the map and figured out the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, this is why,’ Gustav noticed that the location was on the other side of the hole he spent night and day in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could jump over the hole, he would only need to go through one passageway before turning to the left and arriving at the location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Gustav was planning, he heard someone call out to him from the front.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Gustav, you’re here too,\" A dark-skinned kid with a handsome face and bushy afro hair voiced out as he approached Gustav.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"E.E?\" Gustav remembered working with this participant to deal with the first mixedbreed they met after arriving here on the first day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s up? How is it going?\" E.E asked with a smile as he arrived in front of Gustav.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Why do you look so tattered and bloody?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1053,"2026-06-03T10:33:30.958Z",1,"novelbin.me","8dfb6750693a212fb3c0e88fb563e588ad5885337519767923138cdc55d61a96","the-bloodline-system-chapter-264","the-bloodline-system-chapter-262",1688,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-bloodline-system-cover.jpg"]
