Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System Chapter 149: Dragon’s Blood Essence!

"Well...that figure seed dead, you see, but so of its power still remains."

Lian Yue didn’t recognize Zhiran and didn’t even think in that direction.

Rather, she pointed her finger at the circular platform where the throne was and said,

"See those rings around the throne? The mont you step there, a strong ntal attack will co from that figure, capable of overwhelming anyone who is in the foundation realm. So, I suggest you use so artifact to shield your consciousness before going near."

"Don’t worry, as long as you can pass that place, you can go inside that door. That figure won’t attack."

Lian Yue explained as she had seen the sa situation before when Mo Tianyu swaggered in with the help of an artifact.

The main obstacle in this hall was the bone dragon, which was already dead.

"Oh? Then...thank you."

If it were a ntal attack, Zhiran wasn’t that afraid. After awakening his Consciousness Platform, his mind was extrely resilient.

He didn’t believe that this dead thing could do anything to him.

Still, Zhiran showed the right amount of caution when he entered the circular platform.

"Swish!"

Sure enough, as Lian Yue said, the mont he stepped on the platform, a fierce ntal attack sprang forth from the figure on the throne, trying to decimate his consciousness.

"Ding!"

For a mont, even Zhiran felt a little disoriented. But as he expected, in just an instant, he was able to stabilize his mind and push through the attack, his Consciousness Platform absorbing and nullifying the worst of the assault.

Once he composed himself, Zhiran didn’t go to the door as Lian Yue expected. Rather, he ca near the figure sitting on the throne and placed his hand atop its head.

’What is he doing?’

Lian Yue didn’t know what Zhiran was doing. She felt he was taking too many unnecessary risks, as such an ancient figure might not appreciate such disrespect.

After all, who knew if it was really dead?

---

[No brain has been detected. Extraction Unsuccessful!]

---

’Figured!’

Zhiran didn’t care about Lian Yue but frowned slightly after receiving the prompt from the system.

He was sure that the ntal attack ca from this body, but there was no brain he could extract at all.

’Is it so kind of hidden array?’

Zhiran thought and just shrugged, as he had no interest in finding its mystery. Rather, he slowly walked to the massive door behind the throne and opened it forcefully with his hand.

"Bang!"

Once the door opened, he could see a long corridor leading sowhere.

"Aren’t you going to enter?"

But Zhiran didn’t enter imdiately. Instead, he turned around and asked Lian Yue.

He wasn’t a fool. He could feel the intense longing in her eyes from the beginning.

Maybe that’s why she didn’t flee the scene and even talked to a stranger, even though it was extrely dangerous. After all, soone who could kill a Bone Dragon with a wave of his hand wasn’t soone she could take lightly.

"H-hmm? S-senior...c-can I?"

Sure enough, Lian Yue’s eyes shone slightly as soon as she heard his words. Then she felt a bit timid, as if afraid of the risk.

She knew it wasn’t a good idea to tag along with soone unknown who was far more powerful than her in such a place.

But the aura of the Phoenix and her boiling dormant blood made her more and more restless.

She felt that if she didn’t take this chance, she might never fully awaken her physique in this life.

"Otherwise? Don’t you want to? I suggest you tag along. There seems to be sothing very important to you inside, you see."

Just as Lian Yue was conflicted about what to do, Zhiran spoke lightly, while his eyes signaled toward her faint Crimson Petal tattoo.

It was clear that he knew everything about her, making Lian Yue’s heart throb slightly.

"Well, it is your decision. I don’t have all day to wait for you."

Zhiran didn’t care about her surprise and lightly walked inside. He could already feel the aura of Mo Tianyu ahead and couldn’t wait any longer.

"W-wait...senior...I will co too."

Seeing that Zhiran really left after exposing her, Lian Yue beca anxious and quickly ran toward him.

Then she quickly activated an unknown artifact to shield herself from the ntal attack before dashing inside the door, just before it closed completely.

...

Although the Blood Palace looked large and magnificent from the outside, the interior didn’t seem so.

Besides the massive hall he was teleported into as soon as he entered, Zhiran found that he was already nearing the core of the palace.

As he thought, this place was the hub of ancient inheritances.

And that hall, undead, and bone dragon might be the test prepared before anyone could enter this place.

Well, there might have been a few more trials, but they seed inactive for a long ti.

Regardless, Zhiran’s focus wasn’t on the three massive statues that he could see in front, but on the figure sitting with crossed legs before one of them.

’Mo Tianyu...we finally et again.’

Zhiran raised his lips slightly while looking at the figure shivering nonstop in his position, while trying to subdue the drop of blood floating before him.

The blood essence of a dragon.

The sa one he had just killed outside before.

"Roar!"

But it seed Tianyu was having a hard ti, as he was already sweating bullets since the dragon blood was rejecting him vehently.

In the first place, dragons were a prideful creature. They wouldn’t just submit to anyone. Although Tianyu had a divine physique, it was an incomplete one.

Not to ntion, the Shadow Dragon was inherently a violent creature.

"Ugh..."

Still, Zhiran could see that Tianyu seed to be using a very sophisticated ancient thod that even he wasn’t aware of to subdue the blood essence.

Although it was laborious, if given ti, he would definitely absorb this blood forcefully, despite being rejected.

’Well, I expect this much from the protagonist.’
