Chapter 119 Activating the Blood Cross
1/3
A surge of blood–red light erupted violently from the cross necklace.
The entire room seemed to transform into a sea of crimson
At that moment, Osborne felt paralyzed, as if a monstrous weight was crushing him
He was frozen with terror, unable to move or react.
The cross necklace seemed to come alive, slowly drifting toward him, radiating an intense, sinister, blood–red glow.
The light was eerie and frightening as if countless vengeful spirits were swirling within it.
“What’s happening?”
Osborne’s eyes widened in disbelief as he noticed the metal chain of the Blood Cross rapidly dissolving in the red light, leaving only a peculiar cross
The cross floated to his chest, pressing firmly against his heart.
In the blink of an eye, the red light flashed violently, and Osborne lost sight of everything
When he could see again, the room was bathed in normal light, and the oppressive red glow had vanished. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Osborne was finally able to move.
“What just happened?”
He tore open his shirt and stared at his chest in disbelief
There, where the necklace had been, was now a cross tattoo.
He exclaimed, “A tattoo? What happened to the necklace?
“Where did it go? Why do I have a tattoo now?”
The events that had just unfolded were utterly baffling
Osborne thought, “This is completely unscientific!”
The cross necklace had vanished, leaving behind only the tattoo.
He could feel a powerful force near his heart as if it were ready to surge through him at any
at any moment if he wanted
“Could this really be Cain’s Blood Cross? And this force… could it be the power of the Blood Cross?”
Hesitant but curious, Osbome decided to test the power. He focused his mind, and immediately, a tremendous force erupted from the tattoo, flooding into his heart
His heartbeat accelerated rapidly, pumping an immense power throughout his body
At the same time, his body began to change
His short hair grew uncontrollably, transforming into long, flowing locks of blood–red hair resembling streams of blood.
Two sharp fangs emerged from his mouth, and his fingers grew into long, dagger–like claws.

Even his face became paler and more angular.
“What is this?”
Osborne was stunned. He felt power coursing through him, a force strong enough to kill a wild beast with a single punch.
He looked at his red hair, which, with a mere thought, extended and hardened like steel wires. It pierced through the wall, leaving a multitude of tiny holes
Osborne’s eyes widened in astonishment
“My hair can be used as a weapon? Who could withstand a close–range attack?”
He then turned his attention to his sharp claws With a gentle swipe on the wall, he left behind five terrifying gashes. They were sharper than any steel knife.
Osborne murmured, “This is insane!
“Have I really transformed into a Blood Clan member?”
He grabbed a mirror, stared at his now menacingly handsome face, and marveled at the changes in his body. The overwhelming strength and the new abilities left him in awe.
Osborne mused, “If I faced Paul again now, I’d be surprised if he could block even a single move.
It’s strange–Paul’s Blood Clan transformation seems different from mine. For one, his hair didn’t change. What’s up with that?”
Despite his confusion, Osborne relished his current state. After transforming into a Blood Clan member, his strength had at least doubled, possibly even more. This could easily become his trump card.
He decided to practice deactivating the transformation.
It didn’t take long for Osborne to get the hang of it. As soon as he focused on reverting to his original form, the power flowed back into the cross–shaped tattoo on his chest, and he returned to his normal appearance.
However, Osborne noticed that the power seemed a bit weaker than before
“Looks like the more I use this power, the less it becomes. How can I replenish it?”
That night, Osborne delved into studying the cross tattoo.
Not only did it allow him to transform into a Blood Clan, but it also could repel metahuman attacks – both tangible and intangible
For example, it could block Satan’s Eye’s surveillance and Chrissa’s lie–detection abilities.
With its current power, the tattoo could withstand several full–force attacks from Class C metahumans.
The way to recharge the tattoo’s power was surprisingly straightforward.
It was blood
When the tattoo’s strength ran low, it would draw from Osborne’s own blood to quickly regain its energy
Osborne thought with a wry sunile, “No wonder it’s called the Blood Cross.
So it needs blood to recharge? How much blood do I even have to give
eit?.
Hope I can find another way to replenish its power soon.
Otherwise, I’ll end up being drained dry
