Chapter 863 - Secret Experiment
Chapter 863 Secret Experiment
As expected, the silence of the old vampire was only returned with cruel vengeance from Greem.
Greem’s right hand held the bloody crystal. It burst into flames as the crystal made of concentrated dragon blood slowly broke down and turned into a ball of strong-smelling blood mist.
As the flames continued to increase in heat, the temperature of the mist also started to rise. Soon, it gathered in front of Greem and turned into a bubbling crimson water ball.
Once the temperature approached the boiling point of dragon blood, Greem chuckled and pushed the water ball forward.
It floated into the array of light and came into contact with the old vampire’s body.
The four weeks of bloodletting had left the old vampire’s origin withered and dry, and he was already hanging on by a thread. Yet, when his body came into contact with the boiling blood, it immediately absorbed the blood into his body like a whale thirsting for water.
It wasn’t the old vampire’s intention, but an instinct of his body!
The creature suddenly saw Greem through the barrier of light and immediately lunged forward adoringly.
Its weak and frail body crashed against the barrier, and it fell to the ground. The creature struggled to get up before letting out a wailing cry at Greem.
No one could possibly connect this creature with the idea of a pet just by the looks of its rows of bloody teeth.
“Come, let me see what powers you have inherited from devouring a unicorn,” Greem spoke softly to the creature.
This creature was the Sourcestealer that Greem had taken the painstaking effort to nurture to maturity.
As for why an insect appeared so much like a beast after maturity, that was not something that Greem could understand.
Greem placed his right hand on the barrier, only half a meter away from the Sourcestealer.
The formerly gentle and obedient Sourcestealer immediately turned restless. Viscous saliva dripped from the gaps in its teeth, corroding little holes into the magic resistant metal floor when it landed.
The Sourcestealer’s murky, yellow eyes were fixed upon Greem’s right hand as if it was raring to go.
There was no doubt that the Third Grade Greem was a much more delicious prey compared to the dead unicorn!
Parasitic creatures like the Sourcestealers had no so-called loyalty or emotion. All intelligent beings in the world, as long as it was something they could hunt, were on their list of prey.
“Simmer down and show me what you can do. Or else…”
The smile on Greem’s face was unchanging, but a trace of killing intent slowly emerged in his black eyes.
The Sourcestealer was still hungering for his flesh.
Greem flicked his fingers, and a flame the size of a small finger suddenly appeared on the back of the Sourcestealer.
Fire clashed with flesh, and a strange sizzling sound rang out.
The Sourcestealer immediately started shrieking in pain.
Strangely enough, as it shrieked, a powerful light burst forth from the horn left in the ashes of the unicorn. The magical fire was instantly extinguished when the milky white light landed on the Sourcestealer’s back.
As the rest of the milky white light surged into the Sourcestealer’s body, the scorch marks left by the fire were instantly erased.
“Holy power.”
Greem muttered the name with a certain praising tone.
Greem could sense that power from earlier clearly. It was holy power, which was unique to the unicorns.
Such holy power possessed the magical effect of cleansing and dispelling. It was an ability that no other races could hope to replicate.
Naturally, a talent-stealing creature like the Sourcestealer couldn’t possibly possess such holy power. Yet, after devouring the bloodline talent of a young unicorn, it could now unleash this odd holy power with the use of the horn.
It meant that the talent-stealing of the Sourcestealer had succeeded!
Greem immediately activated a particular array in the barrier without any hesitation.
A gray anesthetic gas came out of a corner and quickly filled the barrier.
The Sourcestealer’s body quickly started swaying when it took in the gray gas.
However, it quickly activated a large ball of white light to cover its body and resist stubbornly against the gas.
Greem had no patience to wait until the holy power was thoroughly exhausted. He lifted his hand, and a few beams of red Scalding Rays shot into the barrier, leaving several holes in the body of the Sourcestealer.
The gray gas spontaneously surged into these wounds and entered the Sourcestealer’s body.
It staggered about a bit before finally falling to the ground.
It might have stolen the unicorn’s powerful innate ability, but it still lacked sufficient magical power to sustain the use of the abiltiy due to the limits of its own biological construction. It also didn’t possess the unicorn’s powerful magic-resistant skin. Thus, it couldn’t even resist First Grade Scalding Rays and promptly fell unconscious.
Seven minutes later, the Sourcestealer was placed on a cold dissection platform.
Greem put on a gray adept’s robe, turned on the bright magical lights, and opened the Sourcestealer’s body with a single slice.
