Age of Adepts

Chapter 1171 - Crystals of Strength

The troll leader is dead!

It actually died under its own blood attack.

Due to the loss of excessive lightning power, it had lost the thunder protection of the Feathered Serpent God. The bloodline power that Mary had injected into its body from her last attack was the key to triggering the blood backlash.

Although the Troll clan could still survive after losing their hearts, when the backlash blood attacked the brain and destroyed two core organs in succession, even with the Troll leader's strength, it would die instantly.

As for the mysterious will that 'descended' on the troll leader's body, it didn't even have a chance to exert its power, and it was silently crumbled because of the carrier's sudden death.

This was actually Mary's overestimation of that Feathered Serpent God.

According to the power level just now, what the troll leader had accomplished was not 'descending' at all, but only a secondary 'projection'. That Feathered Serpent God had answered the Troll Chief's prayer and transferred a portion of its own power to it through the 'channel', thus achieving a power 'leap'.

In terms of power level alone, the 'Advent' undoubtedly transmitted more complete power, and would even reel in a portion of the opponent's spiritual consciousness. 'Projection', on the other hand, only involved the transmission of power, and did not have a true divine soul consciousness, much less granting it special divine abilities.

However, that Feathered Serpent God also seemed to have a slight interest in the duel, and the divine soul consciousness was also silently observing Mary's every move through the relay of the channel.

After all, there was no such exotic creature as the Blood Clan in the Hessian Plane!

Therefore, Mary's Blood Sucking Attack and Blood Drawing Regeneration both aroused its great interest.

As for the little bit of origin power it had lost because of the troll leader, it didn't care too much.

Having won the honor challenge, Mary had also won everything from the other side. Therefore, when she dragged the Troll Leader's flesh and blood body and the heavy, hard spear into the dense forest, the entire Troll camp was silent.

All the troll warriors watched silently, not shouting, not angry, but with a hint of fear and respect in their eyes for the tiny and slender Mary.

The troll leader Kano could already be considered the most powerful troll warrior in the Hexen Position. If even it couldn't defend itself against that terrifying blood-sucking witch, then who among the remaining troll warriors would be able to defeat the intruder?

A challenge of honor immediately dismantled the morale and confidence of the entire troll army.

It was night.

Before the dawn, the troll legions retreated quietly.

This time they withdrew they also took with them those companions who had been infected with the plague, which was also a troll's tradition, never abandoning their companions easily.

Naturally, Mary welcomed this without fail!

Those trolls obviously hadn't suffered enough from the plague, or they thought that the witch doctors inside the troll capital could ward off these plagues, or they trusted the Feathered Serpent God too much....

In short, they had actually brought a group of troll warriors infected with a terrible plague back to the heart of their kingdom. This... was simply what Mary and the others had been begging for!

Mary sent out a small group of blood slaves to closely adorn the troll team, while she herself and a group of her men hid deep in the dense forest to carefully study the troll leader's corpse.

The trolls, with their rugged personalities and muscular heads, obviously didn't realize that what they threw to Mary was not only the corpse of the troll leader, but also the wisp of the Feather Serpent God's breath inside it.

The fact that such a rare and valuable trophy had fallen so easily into Mary's hands was also somewhat unbelievable to her.

She and a group of her henchmen immediately found a hidden spot deep in the dense forest and carved out a huge mysterious witch formation. It then took two days and three nights to draw out a little bit of the blood from the troll leader's body.

If it were any other wizard, the troll leader's corpse would have rotted and stank, his blood would have solidified, and he would have lost all the essence of his power.

But today, those present were all blood masters. Keeping the blood active and the internal essence intact was nothing more than a handful for them.

After drawing blood, they would naturally use the Mystic Sorcerer Formation to extract the remnants of the Feather Serpent God's power inside.

When the one-meter diameter ball of blood above the Mystic Sorcerer Formation began to shrink a little, a strange fragrance of blood began to spread throughout the jungle. All the vampires who smelled this scent had bloodshot eyes and salivating mouths.

Even the few 2nd rank Bloods that Mary had personally promoted were the same.

They were looking at the blood ball over the Mystic Witch Formation simply like looking at their own lives and futures, their greedy, hungry, desperate gazes literally melting everything in the world away.

They perceived very clearly that the blood ball was imbued with extremely pure blood essence and a trace of unexplained strange energy. Any Blood Clan present would be able to immediately save up enough blood energy for promotion to the 3rd rank by swallowing this blood ball.

Of course, as Mary's direct subordinates, their promotions would still need to be approved by Mary, the Blood Lord.

Not to mention these subordinates who lived on blood, even as Mary gazed at this blood orb, she had to use great mental energy to suppress the blood instinct that was stirring deep inside her heart, so that she didn't rush to jump on it and feast on it.

However, this blood ball might be able to turn any 1st or 2nd rank vampire into a 3rd rank, but it still couldn't turn Mary from the peak of 3rd rank to 4th rank. Great would make Mary's blood energy reserves a bit larger and purer, but it wouldn't be able to make a qualitative change.

Of course, if all the blood from this Blood Orb was replaced with the blood of that Feathered Serpent God, it would be possible to push Mary to the 4th rank throne.

From this, one could also estimate just how difficult it was to advance to the 4th step of the 3rd step!

It should be noted that in most of the bit worlds, those below 1st rank were classified as mundane creatures, while those above 1st rank were classified as supernatural creatures. But among Transcendent creatures, Tier 4 was also an extremely obvious threshold.

Tier 3 could be considered the limit of extraordinary creatures, while Tier 4 could only reach the point of near gods.

In the world of gods, the starting level to become a deity was Level 5 Primary, then all Level 4s were collectively known as Demigod creatures. This also meant that after advancing to 4th rank, you would already have half of your body and soul as a divine creature.

Demigods in the world of the gods who are willing to compromise with their bit consciousness and contribute a portion of their soul consciousness also have a great possibility of having an immortal soul.

And a demigod with an immortal soul was practically immortal.

Even if he was killed by an enemy, over time, his soul would gather again under the care of the bit consciousness, and then be resurrected again by reincarnation.

The Wiccan world's 4th level witches don't have this preferential treatment.

However, the sorcery system has a large number of life concealment techniques, soul escape, double puppets and other means to avoid death. However, similar sorcery could only be used on those sorcerers who were killed by their enemies. Once the life belonging to the origin of the witch ran out, then no amount of sorcery means could save them.

Therefore, when Mary realized that the trace of strange energy in the blood sphere could play a key role in her advancement, she immediately ordered that it be extracted at all costs.

Mary and her party remained in the dense forest for more than twenty days before they were able to complete this task with great difficulty.

When the vampire team relaunched and moved towards the troll capital following the mark left by the blood slave, Mary had a pale blue crystal the size of a soybean in her hand.

It was a strange power crystalline that had lost all of its blood activity, but had power properties that were hard to replace with blood and magic crystals. If Grim was here, he would have told Mary accurately that it was a strange dual attribute crystallization that condensed the power of lightning and the power of faith.

And the greatest value of this crystal wasn't the energy inside, but the power of that lightning law!

Without the existence of the power of faith, the Lightning Law would definitely be difficult to materialize, let alone solidify in this strange form. If Mary could bring it back to the Wizard World, the elemental witches who practiced lightning sorcery would definitely be willing to acquire it at the price of a 4th-rank item.

And in the Sorcerer World, the starting price of a 4th rank item was over two or three million magic crystals!

Mary repeatedly played with the power crystal and finally resisted the urge to swallow it.

The power inside this crystal wasn't enough for her to advance to the 4th level.

So, trying to get more 'divine blood' from the source of this power crystal was the most important thing she should do!

With that in mind, Mary waved her hand and summoned over the old fox, Winlier, and pulled him into a muttering discussion.

And in the midst of their conversation, an even grander, more adventurous plan surfaced.

...................

Wizarding World, Throne of Fire.

Witch Tower, fifth floor.

Grim was standing in front of a huge magical water mirror and was in remote communication with Alice.

This remote communication was also initiated by Alice, so Grim was extraordinarily surprised.

Since Alice had successfully advanced to Level 4, she, along with the Fate Witch Clan, had grown in weight in the Northland Witch Council.

In order to keep the Fate clan in the ranks of the North Witch, all the witch branches changed their previous indifferent expressions, and began to frequently show favor to Alice.

Not even allow Alice to refuse, the North Witch Council has made a resolution, in the Vierning City for her to hold a grand and grand promotion ceremony.

At that time, all the chief witches, all the high ranking witches would gather there to rejoice over the re-emergence of the Fate Clan.

Such a decision was obviously something Alice couldn't refuse!

Even if she didn't like the raw pull herself, for the sake of the Fate family, she would have to acquiesce as long as she remained the leader of the Fate Witch.

Often times, the Fate Witch was a small pet kept by the bit consciousness.

Although they could see, hear, and understand so many hidden secrets of fate, they couldn't make any decisions as they wished under the domination of the Fate power.

To follow the trend of history and catch the pulse of fate....

These words sound extremely nice, but there are not many things that can be left to the discretion of their soul consciousness if they are really in the period.
