Chapter 92: 92 | Body Reformation
Natasha was pulled out of her thoughts by the reward notification and the name raised her curiosity.
[Blind Spot]
[Type: Technique]
[Grade: Epic]
[Description: A concealment-type technique that uses the user as its core. Expands an invisible layer around the user and when probed by external perception, or detection-type abilities, the zone feeds back a false image set by the user.]
[Everything from inside the zone is blocked. Range is 50-feet radius centered on the user. Those above the Aura Manifestation can see through the illusion.]
After reading the description, she had an angry smile on her face. "System, after telling me to expose myself to Dante, now you give me this reward? Are you making fun of me?"
[No, you misunderstood me!]
[This was meant to help you and your student in the future!]
"What do you mean by that?" She was still angry, but asked before thinking it through.
[Are you a kid? Do I have to spell out everything for you? Fine.]
[You can have UNINTERRUPTED SEX with your student using this....]
"Okay, that’s enough. Stop! I get it." Natasha said in a flustered tone, her cheeks all red. Once she shut the system up, she quickly claimed the reward without any shame.
As the leader of an organization, she had plenty of concealment techniques, many of them higher grade than Blind Spot. But mobility was the real selling point for her.
’To have uninterrupted...’ She swallowed as she imagined the scene in her mind, the memory of Dante pushing her down onto the chair coming along with it.
She was instantly turned on, and her eyes drifted back to the shirt. This time, they were glazed with want. Her hand pulled the shirt to her nose and she took a deep, shameless sniff of his scent.
Her other hand found its way beneath her skirt.
’Damn...’ Dante, who had been watching her through the feed, was taken aback by her actions. He looked down at the bulge straining against his pants.
He wanted to cultivate, but there was no way he could focus like this.
’Sigh. Master, you really are a seductive vixen.’
***
An hour later, Dante closed the feed with some relief in his eyes and came out of the bathroom after washing his hands.
He claimed Blind Spot (Legendary) and skimmed through the description quickly. It had the same function as the Epic grade, except the range extended to 100 feet and only awakeners above Soul Bonding could see through the illusion.
He then clicked on the notifications.
[The protagonist’s mother wore a seductive outfit to tempt the villain!]
[+2,000 Villain Points]
[You openly let your perverted gaze roam over Natasha’s body and received a technique for secret encounters!]
[+2,500 Villain Points]
[You pinned down the protagonist’s mother and nearly crossed the final line!]
[+3,500 Villain Points]
[Total Balance: 36,000 VP]
[Natasha favorability towards you has increased by 2]
[Total Favorability: 71(Affection)]
Dante nodded at the villain points notification as he scrolled through them, pausing at the favorability message.
"It finally crossed 70..." A satisfied smile emerged on his lips as he closed the notification tab.
He could tell Natasha’s favorability had reached its saturation point. Nearly fifty points gained within a month, and the gains were bound to slow down from here.
"But there’s really no need to rush anymore. She’s already fallen for me and chosen me over her own son." He spoke with a grin as he sat down on the bed. "I’ll take my time cultivating the rest."
There probably wouldn’t be any more massive jumps like before, and he was fine with that. Now he could focus a bit more on Emma.
He took out the remaining Accession Essence and some mana stones from his inventory. It was finally time to cross the first major realm.
"Let’s do this!" He said with a grin, clenching a mana stone in his fist.
***
A few hours passed. Emma returned from work. Dante took a short break, chatted with her for a while before dinner. After that, he returned to his room.
Inside the bedroom, a burst of light flared up, accompanied by a low, resonant boom.
Luckily, Dante had prepared for this beforehand and used Blind Spot. Natasha, who was only a few rooms away, noticed nothing unusual.
Dante gritted his teeth as sweat formed on his forehead.
During Mana Awakening, all you had to do was absorb mana into the body and fill the circuits. It was like pouring water into an empty pipe.
Body Reformation was when the water started changing the pipe itself.
Once the mana circuits were fully saturated, the overflow started pushing into everything else. It seeped into the muscles, the bones, the organs, the skin.
For as long as an awakener stayed in the Body Reformation realm, the mana would tamper with their human body and mold it into something else entirely.
By the time one reached the peak stage, they weren’t really human anymore.
They were quite literally monsters wearing human skin. A bullet that would kill a normal person might not even break their skin and a fall that would shatter every bone barely leaves a bruise.
But Dante had experienced something far more extreme than Body Reformation.
Metamorphosis.
He had literally watched his body get ripped apart and rebuilt into a vessel suited for mana cultivation.
’Just tampering with my body hurts this much? I might have actually died if I hadn’t disabled the pain for Metamorphosis.’ Dante thought, feeling the mana sweep through his body.
Another low boom came from inside his body and the frown on his face finally faded.
He opened his eyes and looked down at his clothes, drenched in sweat. But as he felt the strength coursing through his body, an excited look appeared in his eyes.
[Realm: Body Reformation Early Stage]
Seeing his realm change in his status panel, he felt a rush of accomplishment and pumped his fist. "I did it. HELL YEAH!"
Dante Ackerman had... finally stepped into the Body Reformation realm.
