Divine Blood Amber
by spirapiraDivine Blood!
Su Nan did not expect the blood within the amber to be something like this.
It is known that a thousand years ago, the Starlight Continent was dominated by sorcerers, making it unlikely for any deity to enter and seek their own demise there.
Logically, there shouldn’t be any divine blood present.
Could it be that during the millennium after the sorcerers’ departure, a deity from another realm entered the Starlight Continent and spread their faith?
Su Nan couldn’t help but think of the Star God worshipped by the Starfire Cult.
He originally thought the Star God was an invention by the upper echelons of the Starfire Cult to deceive low-level followers, but now it seems that might not be the case.
But if the Star God truly exists, why do the followers of the Starfire Cult know not even a single divine spell, and their combat techniques completely resemble that of native knights?
Or perhaps, this divine blood is merely a material collected by a sorcerer a thousand years ago, left behind until now?
He frowned and pondered for a moment. Unable to come to any conclusion, Su Nan shook his head and temporarily pushed this matter aside, refocusing his attention on the Divine Blood Amber in his hand.
After hesitating for a moment, he dissipated the energy particles in his palm and let his skin contact the Divine Blood Amber.
In an instant, he felt a mental haze and seemed to hear indistinct murmurs.
In his vision, an awe-inspiring and magnificent great hall appeared, with a towering figure whose face was unclear, sitting high on a divine throne, while countless zealot believers knelt below.
Numerous voices praying and praising echoed in his mind, extolling the god’s greatness and omnipotence.
Su Nan furrowed his brows tightly, isolating the Divine Blood Amber with energy particles, causing the sounds in his ears and the visions in his mind to disappear.
“Is this what they call mental corruption?”
Su Nan’s expression was somewhat solemn.
Even with his mental power, he couldn’t immunize against mental corruption. For others, even knights, it’s hard to avoid becoming a fanatic after prolonged exposure to such mental corruption.
“However, despite the fearsome nature of mental corruption, this thing has its benefits too.”
Just a moment ago, upon touching the Divine Blood Amber, Su Nan clearly felt a significant increase in his body’s attraction to the free energy particles in the air.
For knights, this allows their bodies to always be bathed in energy particles, subtly and continuously enhancing their physical constitution.
Starfire Cult must have used the mental corruption and physique enhancement properties of the Divine Blood Amber to rapidly cultivate a large number of zealous knights, thereby quickly expanding their power.
For wizard apprentices, the Divine Blood Amber also has its advantages.
The essence of meditation is actually to absorb energy particles to strengthen mental power.
If the Divine Blood Amber can enhance the absorption of energy particles, it naturally can indirectly improve meditation efficiency.
“The problem is how to eliminate the mental corruption?”
Su Nan doesn’t want to become a fanatic believer of the so-called Star God.
“The Synthesis Cube can enhance the efficacy of synthesized objects while weakening side effects. If I have enough Divine Blood Amber, could I weaken the mental corruption side effects through synthesis?”
Su Nan’s eyes lit up.
Previously, when he synthesized blood with black-scaled lizardmen’s blood to create Dragon Lizard’s Blood and Sub-Dragon’s Blood, he successfully reduced blood rejection reactions.
If I synthesize Divine Blood Amber, the result should be similar.
Thinking of this, Su Nan immediately became excited, looking expectantly at Amy.
“Amy, do you have more of this stuff?”
“No, meow, I only took one piece.” Amy shook her head.
Su Nan felt a bit disappointed but persistently continued to ask, “The Starfire Cult, where those bad guys reside, do they have a lot of this stuff?”
“Plenty, meow.”
Amy raised her paw and gently tapped the floor, counting each tap as a number.
“One, two, three, four, twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-five, there are twenty-five pieces.”
Your counting skills need some improvement.
But twenty-four pieces of Divine Blood Amber is not a small amount.
Come to think of it, since the Starfire Cult could rapidly expand using Divine Blood Amber, they must have a considerable quantity.
Su Nan regained his spirit.
If I can get enough Divine Blood Amber, the issue of enhancing meditation efficiency might be solved!
“Amy, can I buy this from you?” Su Nan shook the Divine Blood Amber in his hand.
“Why do you want it?” Amy tilted her head in curiosity, “Meow, if you want it, I can give it to you, but you have to do me a favor.”
“Go ahead.”
“Amy has been constantly chased by those bad guys and can’t sleep well. Can you help me drive them away?”
Su Nan smiled faintly and agreed without hesitation.
“No problem.”
He was already planning to deal with the Starfire Cult, so helping was just a convenient action.
He tore off a piece of tablecloth, wrapped the Divine Blood Amber, and put it in his pocket. Su Nan turned to look at the dazed Hony.
Under the influence of the Charm of Humans spell, a victim can clearly remember what happens around them; thus, this witness must not remain.
Just as Su Nan was about to deal with this guy, his expression shifted, and he activated the Earth Rune Gem in his hand without hesitation.
A heavy yellow light instantly enveloped his body.
In the next moment, the door exploded with a loud bang.
Amidst flying debris, two half-moon-shaped sword energies shot towards Su Nan and Amy like sharp arrows.
Su Nan raised his hand to block, and the sword energy struck his palm with a bang, stalling for a moment before exploding into a violent shockwave. It crashed against the yellow halo on his body surface, causing ripples but failing to penetrate.
On the other side, the moment the sword energy approached, Amy had already used Spatial Traversal to relocate somewhere else.
Sizzle!
A sonic boom broke through the air!
Yet another two sword energies attacked, this time targeting Su Nan and the unconscious noblewoman on the bed.
The latter could not resist and was shredded into a mist of blood by the sword energy.
This time, Su Nan was prepared. His figure flickered as he easily dodged the sword energy, squinting at the outside.
“Both attacks were so precise; can they sense the people’s location inside the room?”
His eyes flashed, and Su Nan snapped Hony’s neck, then swiftly dashed out of the room, through the courtyard, and onto the street outside.
Over twenty people cloaked in capes and wearing armor had already surrounded the house heavily.
Leading them were two tall and burly men, their skin shimmering with a faint glow in the moonlight.
Knights!
“Meow, it’s you bad guys again!”
Amy appeared on a rooftop over ten meters away, glaring angrily at the group of Starfire Cult followers.
Su Nan immediately understood that this group was probably the Starfire Cult members chasing after Amy.
The leading knights were likely the ones Hony mentioned as Troy and Ryan.
Troy and Ryan ignored Amy’s words, their eyes warily fixed on Su Nan.
“Who are you?”
Su Nan’s face was shrouded in a yellow glow, making it indistinct.
However, the opponent’s ability to easily block two consecutive sword energy attacks made Troy and Ryan take him seriously.
“The divine blood is on him!”
At this moment, Ryan took out a statue, glanced at it, and his expression suddenly changed, as his sharp gaze pierced towards Su Nan like a sword.
Troy’s expression also turned cold and harsh. He pointed his sword at Su Nan and shouted in a deep voice, “Hand over the item!”
Su Nan didn’t waste words. He raised his hand, and an arc of lightning shot out.
Troy and Ryan quickly dodged, but the Starfire Cult followers behind them lacked such quick reflexes and speed, and were immediately turned into char by the lightning.
“A wizard!”
Watching their scorched subordinates, Troy and Ryan’s expressions changed simultaneously, and when they looked at Su Nan again, their eyes were filled with wariness.
The two decisively ordered in unison.
“Kill him!”
