My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 635

Then, Kisha clicked on the mystical items to check their descriptions.

[Bloodline Evolution Fruit]

[Description: A divine fruit nurtured and safeguarded by a guardian beast for a thousand years, destined to awaken its bloodline and ascend to nirvana, becoming a living god among heavenly beasts. However, just as it reached the final stage of ripening, a rival heavenly beast, lurking in ambush, attempted to steal the fruit. A fierce battle erupted among the heavenly and mythical beasts, shaking the entire continent and plunging the world into chaos. Amidst the turmoil, the Bloodline Evolution Fruit mysteriously vanished.

The fruit was as large as a melon, with a scaly white skin that resembled a fusion of raspberry and lychee, with a slight fuzziness akin to a kiwi. However, what truly set it apart was the unmistakable golden glow that enveloped it, exuding an aura of holiness and divinity.

Kisha could feel the overwhelming spiritual energy radiating from the fruit—far surpassing even the most potent spiritual crops and fruits harvested from her territory. And there weren’t just one, but two of them.

Recalling Bell’s explanation, Kisha knew that in the Murim world, some beasts possessed hidden bloodlines—some weak, others pure, like Bell’s.

The purer and stronger the bloodline flowing through a beast’s veins, the greater their strength and the higher their chances of evolving to reach their pinnacle. Some would ascend into legendary beasts, others into mythical beings, and beyond.

Now that she had this fruit, she felt it would be invaluable in the future. Even if she didn’t obtain a mythical weapon or armor, this alone made up for it.

Satisfied, Kisha stored the fruit in her inventory before turning her attention to the final mythical item—a manual.

It belonged to the same league as the ’Manual: Profound Understanding of Mana: Stages and Techniques’ she had previously purchased for 400,000 points. However, this time, the manual focused on ’Aura’.

While she had heard of Aura before, she didn’t know much about it. Her curiosity piqued, she eagerly examined it further.

[Manual: Profound Understanding of Aura: Bloodline Tempest]

[Description: This manual contains the hidden, exclusive technique of the Hero Emperor of the North, the legendary warrior who defeated the Demon Lord during the invasion of the Aisim Continent. The technique, known as Bloodline Tempest, was a divine gift bestowed by the Goddess of Peace and Harmony to give humanity hope and the strength to resist the demons that sought to rise from hell and claim their sanctuary.

Only those with the bloodline of the Hero Emperor of the North can practice this technique, as it requires an imprint of his lineage to function. Without it, attempting to cultivate this power would lead to stagnation, rendering the user incapable of progress—and ultimately crippling their meridians.

Seeing Duke’s expression shift from eager anticipation to quiet disappointment, Kisha felt a strong urge to find a solution. Maybe she could search for a different manual in the system mall or check the achievement shop for something she could gift him.

Duke never coveted her things, nor did he proactively ask for anything from her. Yet, whenever she gave him something, he would light up with pure joy, cherishing it as if it were the most precious gift in the world. Now, seeing him long for something he couldn’t have made Kisha’s heart clench.

Maybe it was her natural instinct to pamper the person closest to her heart, or maybe she just couldn’t stand seeing Duke look like a disappointed big puppy—it was tearing at her heart.

"Host, actually, I can check if either of you has compatibility with this manual, if you’d like," 008 suddenly interjected, halting Kisha’s train of thought.

"Compatibility test? You can do that?" Kisha asked, though she kept her expectations low. She didn’t want to get her hopes up, only to have them crushed later.

"Yes, just give me a moment..." 008 responded before falling silent. Kisha assumed the system was running the compatibility test, so while waiting, she stole a glance at Duke. His expression had already returned to normal, as if the disappointment she had seen earlier had been nothing more than a fleeting illusion.

Kisha sighed silently. She chose not to tell Duke about the compatibility test just yet. If the results weren’t favorable, she didn’t want to be the one to raise his hopes only to shatter them, making his disappointment even worse.

The few minutes of silence felt like an eternity, making Kisha fidget anxiously.

Meanwhile, Duke, instead of showing any more of his disappointment, quietly slipped on the Kratos’ Gloves that Kisha had given him. A small smile played on his lips, as if he was soothing his disappointment by focusing on the gift she had already given him—as if that alone was enough.

For some reason, seeing this side of him only made Kisha’s heart soften even more. It strengthened her resolve to find him a different manual because, deep down, she could tell just how much Duke truly wanted it.
