The Legacy System

The lady was immediately frightened by the prospect of what was in front of her, as she felt like her life was running in front of her eyes.

With the speed the two of them were running towards that underwater rock, even though they were a bit different from normal people, it would surely hurt if they didn't stop on time.

The more they approached the rock, the more terrified she felt, but Eric was holding her hand tightly and she couldn't escape from it.

Not only that, but Eric seemed to be accelerating towards that rock, making the situation even more complicated than it already was.

On the other hand, Eric was just hoping that the sniper wouldn't shoot another bullet before they reached that rock, otherwise, they would certainly be dead.

This normal rock underwater was their only hope of escaping their dark fate at that moment. So, he tried to accelerate, even more, to reach there even faster.

That stupid woman that he was pulling along seemed to be trying her best to make way backward or escape his pulling, but she had no possibility of succeeding.

He was a level 60 fighter, while she was only a weak level 30 according to his Legacy System, and the difference in their stats was more than obvious.

If it weren't for the fact that she might survive this damned situation by herself, and reveal his most important secret, he would have already left her there and run on his own.

But since he couldn't be certain of her death in case he left her there, he had to pull her with him and deal with her later.

Thinking like that, he could only accelerate towards the rock with everything he had. Just as he was about to crash on the rock, he felt pure killing intent towards himself once again.

This just meant that the fu*cking Master sniper had just shot once again towards them, and this time he had had more time to fix his target and every possible variable on the way.

They were dead for sure! The next moment a massive amount of blood suddenly exploded out of nowhere, underwater, coloring the whole place red.

Not long after that, two amputated corpses finally started floating up, and above the water, very similar to Eric, and the lady beside him.

The sniper Master who had been on Eric's and that woman's traces until now couldn't help but look at the two corpses with a bit of doubt.

His bullet had been so masterful that he had hit both of them on the neck, even though the angle was difficult, and he had a lot of variables to think of on the bullet's path, he had still made a perfect shot.

It was clear that he was a Master of sniping, and that most probably he belonged to some powerful organization.

He was just looking at the corpses over the water, the blood around them, and feeling that something was wrong with it, but he couldn't point his finger towards something.

Feeling a bit uncomfortable towards this scene, he kept his sniper's binocular towards the spot where he had supposedly shot the two of them.

But, even his special eye, couldn't detect any sign of life in there. Yet, he couldn't help but feel that there was something wrong with all this.

Since he didn't dare to jump on the water and look for more clues in there, he could only look at the situation around a few more times, and then pick up his stuff and leave.

…

In the meantime, Eric was now standing over a small rock, inside a wide-looking temple entrance, with the big sister type lady standing behind him completely shocked.

He didn't have time to worry about her, or for her shock at that moment as he was painfully trying to pull out a bullet from his shoulder.

He could feel that had it not been for him being a level 60 fighter, his shoulder bone would have been crushed to dust.

It wasn't that at this moment it was anything better, as he could feel that it had cracked quite a bit, and was close to breaking point.

Blood was churning out of his shoulder, like he had a fountain on his shoulder, with that bullet stuck in there.

The pain was truly strong, as he could feel like something was cutting through his shoulder with each passing moment, but after that night's incident with his Body Tempering Liquid, this seemed like child play.

Knowing that he had to act quickly, Eric immediately took out a dagger out of his storage ring on his left hand, and then used its pointy edge to try and pull out the bullet.

He didn't even have time to burn it in order to burn the microbe and bacteria that could be over the dagger, but he didn't have to, as inside his storage ring there could be no living organism.

Even if there were microbes or bacteria over some object, they would surely die out of asphyxiation, or lack of energy.

The space of the storage ring was a small crack in the void, where there was supposed to be nothing. No time, no energy, no air, nothing.

For that reason, even if he tried to place inside his storage ring a living being, it wouldn't last for long, and would undoubtedly die.

Without having to worry about it, he could only continue with what he was doing. Trying his best to pull out the bullet on his shoulder.

The fact that he wasn't able to look at it, didn't really make it difficult for him, as he could still use his spirit sense and pinpoint accurately the location and everything about the bullet.

So, it wasn't really difficult for him to use the knife at an angle, and manage to pull out the bullet from his shoulder.

But the moment that the bullet got out, another problem appeared for him, which was to stop the bleeding after.

Even though the bullet was keeping him under constant pain, it was still being a good blocking object against intense bleeding.

But the moment the bullet was taken out, it was the same as opening a dam, and blood started flooding out of his shoulder.

He had to act and fast, so he immediately searched for some blood clotting, or burning medicine from his system to try and block, or burn the wound.

The quickest thing he was able to find was burning essence. Normally this was something that fire arts cultivating cultivators would use to try and understand more about their fire arts.

But at the same time, it had great use as a blood clotting and burning material, able to close bloody wounds.

Without thinking much about it, Eric immediately bought half a kilo of that burning essence for 50 SP points and then smeared it over his shoulder.

It was expensive, but he didn't have time to think about it at that precise moment, as his consciousness and life were on the line.

At first, he didn't feel anything, it was like he had put some flour over his shoulder, but the real torture started just a second later, as the essence started burning like gunpowder.

In a single instant, his shoulder had turned into some kind of torch, wrapped in blazing flames hurting and stinging like hell.

The worst thing was that he was unable to open his mouth and scream in fear that his scream might be heard outside, so he could only clench his teeth, until blood was coming out of his gums, and bear with it.

But the more he suffered through that, the more did he feel that he was going to lose his conscience soon.

If he were alone it wouldn't be much of a problem as he would regard it as only sleeping for a few hours, but the problem was that there was someone else with him inside that place at that moment.

Even though he hadn't felt even a tiny bit of killing intent from her, he still didn't believe her in the least.

Furthermore, even if she didn't kill him, she would most probably rob him of everything he had, including his last piece of clothes, and then most probably bring trouble over him not much later.

He couldn't allow that to happen, he had to take care of her before he passed out, otherwise, he would have to cry without tears.

But what could he do about her, giving her a subsystem was out of the question at that moment, as she didn't have the needed resolve, determination, and loyalty.

Considering the requirements of his Legacy System it was impossible for her to get a sub-system from his part.

So, the only left choice was making her a slave, but that seemed even more difficult than scaling the heavens at that moment.

He had to act quickly, and resolutely, should he make even the smallest mistake on the way, or show the smallest drawback while placing the slave seal, he was going to become the slave instead.

It was a good thing that he had the blood clone technique and could use it to easily create a clone of the slave seal using the blood that had come out of his wound until that moment.

The moment it was done, he immediately hurl it towards the still shocked woman by his side and then activated the seal.

His Spirit Power was already close to exhaustion at that moment, and now he would have to overpower her in order to create the slave seal inside her.

The fact that she was still in a state of shock, and startle was really helpful to him, but before he could see whether his seal had worked out or not, his eyes closed down, and lost conscience…
