Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!

"Since you’ve called me sister, then I must do what a sister ought to do." Stay tuned for updates on empire

Flandre ruffled Kael’s hair vigorously, looking at his face which could lighten her mood just by a few glances, and said with a light laugh,

"The power that Father has asked you to activate, have you felt it?"

Kael nodded. The power passed down through the generations of the Lionheart Family was indeed much purer than he had imagined.

Succinctly put, it was the pure power of destruction.

"Every person with the blood of the Lion Heart flowing in their veins can harness this power hidden within their bloodline. Do you know where our family’s power comes from?"

After pondering for a moment, Kael spoke, "I’ve read in books that ever since the era when Ingelance was just a city-state, we’ve been fighting against the Griffin tribes.

The cursed swordsmen would draw the monster’s primal blood and inscribe it onto their bodies, constantly transforming it into curses that correspond to the monster’s inherent traits.

The scorching curse would flow throughout the body, and with enough time, practitioners would adapt to this power over the course of their growth."

"Since the Lionheart Family was once the ruler of the Ingelance city-state, then the monster we should have drawn strength from most would be the Griffin." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"That’s right. Do you know what the difference is between the modern cursed swordsmen and those from hundreds of years ago?"

This question caused Kael to contemplate deeply. The gates of his memory were flung open, and after regaining his senses a moment later, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he said,

"Is it the diversity of the changes?"

"Exactly. Back then, our family didn’t have as many choices as people do now.

As Griffins were the most numerous and the monsters most likely to destabilize the rule of Ingelance on federal land at the time, they were the formidable monsters that our Lionheart Family could most easily procure.

Unlike the new generation of cursed swordsmen who attempt to accommodate the bloodlines of two different monsters at the Novice Rank, and gain different curse enhancements, in that era, all we could do was engage in life-and-death duels with Griffin flocks continuously.

And if it’s said that modern cursed swordsmen have the opportunity to choose, then the Lionheart Family back then could only continuously embrace the power of the Griffin, the extreme choice of curse power, brought about extreme and pure violence."

"Without the fancy variety of choices, our ancestors’ bodies also adapted to the curses imbued with Griffin traits throughout their advancement, acquiring a multitude of specialized skills characteristic of Griffins.

One generation, two generations, over a dozen generations... Constantly drawing from the power of the Griffin, the Lionheart bloodline underwent a permanent transformation.

We are still humans, but we are humans who can integrate the power of the Griffin within ourselves, or perhaps, Griffins in human skin.

For the people of the Lionheart Family, we only need to activate the power hidden within our bloodline as we grow stronger, and even without the career shift to cursed swordsmen or drawing other monsters’ primal sources through the secret methods of cursed swordsmen, we can still directly develop the inherent power of the Griffin within us.

This is the origin of the Lionheart Family’s name; we are inherently the strongest Griffins."

So that’s how it is, this is the origin of the "Lion Heart Proof," Kael mused.

No wonder the Lionheart could become the Commander who led the city-state to victory in war, relying on a physique that didn’t need career attributes to be enhanced, but could exert extreme violence, indeed afforded a huge advantage in war.

"Make good use of this power. Power doesn’t come out of nowhere; during this time, your appetite will greatly increase until you can truly accommodate the power of the Griffin.

Father indeed has high hopes for you, at your age, most people cannot bear the burden of awakening the Griffin’s power.

Their physiques are too weak, but you are different, you have a stronger body, you who are already gifted with an Extraordinary Physique are indeed more suitable for obtaining this power as early as possible."

Flandre patted his face, showing real optimism for the boy’s future. Moreover, because of his relationship with that person, she indeed treated Kael differently.

After all, when she looked into his eyes, she would subconsciously be reminded of someone else’s eyes.

She said, "Go and fully enjoy this power! Today, I’m giving you your coming-of-age ritual in advance, unlike those kids who need to spend a lot of time gradually absorbing this power, Kael, you have a choice."

Although her voice sounded as pleasant as the spring breeze, Kael inexplicably sensed the subtle emotions behind it, as though this Peach who proclaimed herself to be his sister, was harboring some anticipation and plotting something.

Kael glanced at the "Proof of the Lion Heart," a passive ability still in the process of forming, but the system tablet had already displayed the ultimate effects it would have once generated.

It’s not that strong.

It’s just forcefully raising the attributes of strength to no less than 18, agility to no less than 15, endurance to no less than 16, perception to no less than 13...

Nonsense!

What in the world is this? Can this still be considered a passive ability? The stacked attributes alone are enough to craft a Transcendent Rank powerhouse!

In a daze, he seemed to understand why the nobles of the Lionheart Family took pride in their bloodline.

This special passive, which normal players would never possess under ordinary circumstances, represents not the illusion of glory in the bloodline in a world where Extraordinary Powers exist, but an actual existing strength.
