Chapter 116
Mary had become a Pseudo-Adept?!
Though everybody was surprised that Evil Bugs Acteon had a breakthrough, it wasn’t something unexpected. After all, he had been one of the strongest three in the Swampy Tower!
However, Mary’s breakthrough had confounded these people, and they simply felt it hard to believe.
Therefore, overshadowed by Mary’s huge glory of becoming a Pseudo-Adept, the fact that Greem had also made the leap and become an Advanced Apprentice was merely discussed among the Beginner and Intermediate Apprentices. For those Advanced Apprentices who held the discourse power of apprentices, they just locked their gazes onto the two brand new Pseudo-Adepts.
Virtually overnight, the power structure of Swampy Tower was going to change!
As the newly appointed Apprentice Leader, Ellen had prepared a long welcoming speech full of beautiful words and affection. But when he stood right in front of the evil looking Acteon and the ghostly Mary, he was instantly pressured by the shivering aura emanating from both of them. His body started to tremble, and he couldn’t utter out a single word that would be fitting for the atmosphere.
“We’re tired, and we need rest. Everybody just go back to where you belong!” Mary, in the same self-centered manner, said with a cold voice.
Only when she was facing her prey would she let out a pretty and coquettish smile that came from the bottom of her heart. As for these people of no importance, to be honest, even if they stretched their neck and placed themselves in front of her, she would be too lazy to take a bite.
Hence, Adept Anderson secretly concealed this war trophy, and hid in this remote and desolate Swampy Tower. Without anybody else’s knowledge, he conducted research regarding the mutated vampire.
But too bad, most of his initial experiments had failed miserably. All the creatures injected with the vampire blood were dead because of the disintegration of their genes. Among all bloodline creatures, the bloodline gene of the vampire was considering tyrannical. When any other bloodlines tried to merge with it, they would always become nourishment to it, and it was impossible to have the situation where both would co-exist.
Initially, Anderson thought it was because those test creatures he used had an overly weak body constitution, making them unable to withstand the violent bloodline modification. Therefore, he used the authority he had and started to run the experiment on apprentices of the Swampy Tower.
Three Intermediate Apprentices were injected with the source vampire blood sample; Mary was the only survivor. Undoubtedly, she had become the key to his future experiments.
When it came to vampires, locking them up and conducting the research would yield no results. Because vampires needed to keep sucking the blood of experts to purify and cleanse their own bloodline. That was the reason why Anderson had set Mary free, with the intention that she could evolve by herself and complete the purification of her vampire bloodline.
It was worth mentioning that his view on this matter was accurate. At least, Mary’s current progress had gone way beyond his expectation. Presumably, through analyzing and experimenting with both the old and new vampire blood, he would be able to make a step forward in his research of mutated vampires.
Therefore, since he was given with new experimental material, Adept Anderson generously gave Mary a drop of the source blood. Nevertheless, this drop of source blood was almost reaching the end of its life expectancy and would soon lose all its gene activity!
