Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2967

Andrew rarely used the ancestral power that Valerius had passed down to him. However, within it was a powerful dark aura.

Andrew could not figure out what was going on, but he trusted that instinct would not mislead him. The successive battles had already made him feel the opportunity for a breakthrough. Now, he had to boldly give it a try no matter what.

Entering the secret chamber, Andrew locked the door tight, isolating them from the outside world. Then, he sat facing Nyx.

Nyx's golden hair was braided and tied behind her head. She wore a simple, conservative black dress that revealed no skin at all. Even so, she did not need to reveal anything, as her face, hands, and neck alone seemed to glow with pale light.

She said, "You may begin now. If you show any signs of losing control, I'll forcibly stop you."

Andrew nodded. "Alright."

He sat cross-legged, wasting no words. The werewolf heart and the vampire duke's blood core were placed on either side of his hands.

At first, Andrew only intended to absorb the werewolf heart. However, his body gradually heated up, and the craving for energy inside him exploded.

Without hesitation, his other hand grabbed the vampire core, and he began drawing power from it as well.

Nyx, watching intently, was startled. She wanted to stop him, but he had his eyes closed, completely focused. She knew that forcibly interrupting would certainly cause damage, so she held back.

However, simultaneously absorbing werewolf and vampire energy would put an extremely high strain on the human body.

Nyx could not do it herself, and she suspected only someone at Reginald's level could suppress such violent power. Because of that, she stayed ready at all times, prepared to intervene the moment Andrew could no longer endure it.

Yet as Andrew continued absorbing energy, the werewolf heart began to shrivel. The vampire's blood core also gradually lost its luster, becoming dull and lifeless.

At this moment, Andrew's aura also began changing. It became violent, then suddenly turned sinister, repeating endlessly.

Sweat appeared on his forehead, and his entire face was tightly strained. His internal organs felt like they were boiling.

Suddenly, Andrew roared and opened his eyes.

Nyx froze in shock as she saw his pupils had turned to a vertical slit, which was a trait only vampires and werewolves possessed. Her grip tightened on her daggers as anxiety surged through her.

'Has Andrew been transformed? Has he become a werewolf or a vampire?'

Blood-red mist mixed with black fog began emanating from Andrew's body.
