Richard didn't know whether it affected her emotions or not, but at the very least, she was clearly very surprised.
"Eat," said Richard.
Whoosh!
The mouth made of blood widened and swallowed Sterling.
Of course, it wasn't something meant to destroy. Sterling was merely engulfed by the mouth and appeared fine inside.
However, blood—special blood seemingly tinged with gold—began to flow out of him in the form of small glowing dots, converging at the throat of the bloody mouth, right in front of Richard's palm.
He knew that was the Bloodline Core, just like Athena's before.
It seemed Sterling's Bloodline Core would be golden in color.
But Richard noticed a slight problem.
Sterling was stronger than him.
Even though Sterling had been rendered powerless, it was still somewhat difficult for Richard to absorb his bloodline.
BANG!
Black lines appeared all over Richard's body as he activated the hidden power of his Black Heart.
