"This..."

As soon as Eren looked at the status screen, a smile spread across Eren\'s lips.

There were a lot of changes in his Status Screen. And the biggest change was that his Devourer Bloodline was not marked as incomplete anymore!

Another change was that his Bloodlines now showed an extra bloodline, which was the Sea Serpentine Bloodline. He had succeeded in devouring the Bloodline of the Sea Serpent.

More importantly, he had found a method to devour bloodlines that was used by the real Devourer.

Previously, his Hero Grade was unranked. But as soon as he activated the Devourer Bloodline by successfully using it for the first time, the Hero Grade was updated. He was ranked as a SSS Rank Hero.

In the Eastern Continent, more emphasis was given on cultivation. But in the world of heroes, bloodline was everything.

Even if a person did not know how to control his bloodline, his rank was still decided by the Bloodline Grade. And his Devourer Bloodline was a peak grade bloodline, which was enough to even alert the four Overlords in the past.

He knew that if this news leaked, it was like painting another red mark on his back. He could become another Devourer to be hunted if that happened.

He could only keep this hidden, but he could already imagine how he was going to use this skill in the future with the Hero Academy.

There was another smaller but useful change. After devouring Bloodline of Sea Serpent, he had managed to steal a skill of Sea Serpent as well.

[Aquatic Mastery: Allows the user to see, speak and breathe under water and swim like they belong to the ocean]

It was not a skill that was made for fighting, especially not on the continent. But in this place, this skill was extremely useful.

As far as his eyes could see, there was only bloody water. With the skill, he could survive even if he were to fall in water.

If he had this skill when he was fighting the Sea Serpent, he would not have to predict his step and do so many calculations to dodge the attacks and kill that thing.

"A good skill."

Eren closed the screen, very pleased at his haul.

Before returning, he decided to harvest the heart. He could sell this thing in the future, or maybe use it in other ways. After separating the remains of the giant heart from the body, he kept that in his Inventory.

Leaving the place, Eren retraced his steps back towards the head of the Sea Serpent. The stench and the filth no longer bothered him. He was too happy to think about these small things anymore.

....

Deep beneath the ocean\'s surface, a magnificent palace stood in all its splendor. There was not just a palace but an entire city, flourishing beneath the waves.

This underwater city was a sight to behold, with its graceful architecture and shimmering structures. There were Dragon Statues all throughout the city that depicted Dragons roaring towards heaven.

Just looking at these statues, an ordinary person would have felt suppressed and the urge to bow down and pay respect.

But what made this city truly extraordinary was the protective barrier that encircled it. This barrier served as a powerful defense, preventing the bloody water from entering their sacred domain.

This city looked like it was an entirely different world hidden at the depths of the Ocean of Blood.

Inside the palace at the center of the heart, there was a grand hall. At the end of the hall, there was a throne. On the throne, there sat a blue haired woman with skin as fair as porcelain, exuding an aura of grace.

The woman looked like she was barely twenty years old, but only the people of this city knew that she was thousands of years old.

There were two dragon-like horns on her head, a sign of her lineage and connection to the powerful dragons that protected the city for generations.

Her piercing gaze held centuries of wisdom and strength, captivating all who entered her presence. It was clear that she was not just a ruler, but a symbol of authority.

This was the city of Sea Dragons, that could be called their own small empire. And the woman on the throne was the Empress.

In front of the woman, there were over twenty youngsters standing. The youngsters looked just as old as her, but they were like children in her eyes.

"Today is your coming of age ceremony. You have two options in front of you. Either take the test and prove yourself, or leave this Kingdom forever. What shall you choose?"

The Sea Dragon Empress\' voice echoed in the grand hall, filled with suppressive authority. The youngsters exchanged nervous glances but stood tall, ready to face whatever challenges awaited them in the name of this test.

"It is good to see that you have courage! Your test is simple. You must go out of the Kingdom and hunt over fifty Sea Serpents each. As proof, you must bring their hearts to me!"

"All of you must go in different directions so you can\'t help each other. Do you understand? This is a test for you, not for this group!"

The Empress finished, her gaze lazily looking at the youngsters before her.

"We will not disappoint!" The youngsters shouted in unison.

"We will soon find out," The Empress replied. "You can leave."

She closed her eyes, as if going back to slumber.

The youngsters turned around and left without disturbing her.

While the youngsters left, there was one Sea Dragon left in the hall. It was a subordinate of the Empress. He went down on one knee before addressing the Empress.

"Your Majesty, was it really necessary to have the Prince take this test as well? As a Royal, your brother should be exempt. What if something happens to him?"

The Empress did not even bother to open her eyes as she responded,

"I know my brother. He should be able to handle this much. Moreover, who dares to harm my brother in this often? You worry about nothing."
