BXBX NOVEL Chapter 509 Blood Well
Tremble. Tremble. Tremble.
In the Forgotten Forest, many portals appeared in different places. Both groups and quite strong singles emerged from them, whose auras could terrify anyone.
They were all headed for the same place, the Great Tree. No one would fight, even if they were sworn enemies, because they knew they could settle accounts in the Great Tree.
...
"The seven keys were worth it, weren't they?" Wain muttered while looking around.
"Yeah... This is the best view I've ever seen." Ern muttered, "But... Where should we go? I feel like going to all the places at once."
The Great Tree also had massive islands with unique auras and shapes. To the islands were led floating meteorites or phantom staircases that occasionally appeared and then disappeared.
"Isn't it obvious?" Alas muttered as he looked up, "I'm sure all of you feel it as I do. We need to get to the top. That's where the Royal Spirit is."
"Go ahead. I need to stay a little longer." Wain said.
"What are you talking about?" Erza said in a surprised voice.
"We're here first, so we can't be distracted by anything else but the Royal Spirit, but something I have to take away. It's necessary for evolution. I'll try to make it quick, so I'll catch up with you. Go upstairs and don't stop, the others will be here soon, we don't have much time." Wain mouthed before running forward.
"Wait!" Erza exclaimed as he headed after him, but suddenly Ern appeared beside her and put his hand on her shoulder.
"Wain will be all right. Come on. We need to keep moving. It will take us a long time to get to the top." Ern said in a serious voice.
"Will he be able to catch up with us?"
"Of course. Didn't you see him fight August? Though briefly, Wain can control space, so it's no problem for him. That's enough talk." Ern patted her on the shoulder before heading toward the nearest island as Alas followed him.
Erza took one last look at the departing Wain and joined them.
...
'It's a surprise that there's such a place, but it's a great opportunity to fulfill another condition.' Wain thought while jumping from meteorite to meteorite approaching one island.
As soon as he entered the Great Tree, he was immediately attracted by the strong smell of blood, since no one had fought here yet, Wain immediately realized that this island had the essence of blood.
'Well, well, my blood purity is already 90%, but I need 95%, it's not an easy task, but shouldn't there be only the most valuable treasures? What do you think about that?' Wain turned to the Knight of the Bloody Rose.
'Yeah... I can smell that sweet smell. I can't guarantee you'll find what you need there, but the odds are extremely high.'
'Agreed.' Blind Sorcerer suddenly said, 'However, try not to get too many wounds or stay unharmed at all, as it is a great risk.'
'Hmm? What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Knight of the Bloody Rose exclaimed as he raised an eyebrow, 'If there's enough blood there, I'll heal him easily, just remember to use my special ability.'
'Okay, I get it. Just don't make so much noise.' Wain said inwardly as he landed on the edge of the island.
The island consisted of dark stone and looked like an ancient battlefield on which countless people had fought and died. Streams of blood flowed among the dark rocks, and scarlet flowers grew on the banks, their roots spreading like veins all over the island.
"Well... It's not the most pleasant atmosphere here." Wain muttered as he took a deep breath.
The bloody scent headed his way, and he saw a thin thread hovering in the air, it was a path.
Wain ran forward. The island was large, but completely empty. It was as though everyone here had long since died, and there were no more threats, only streams of blood as a reminder of death.
A thread led Wain to an ancient, ruined crypt that looked like a gateway to the world of the dead.
'Is it there?' Wain asked.
'Yeah. I smell strong blood and something else... I don't understand...' Knight of the Bloody Rose muttered.
Wain shook his head, bent down, and went through the rubble to enter the crypt.
He walked down the long, dark staircase as dim green torches lit up with each step he took. At the end of the staircase was a massive stone door with a wide hole in the middle, so Wain walked through it. He looked around as his eyes widened.
"What the hell..." Wain muttered, and goosebumps ran down his body.
In the center of the room was a well of blood, and above it hung a skeleton with long Next to the well was an alchemical table with various flasks, as well as old books and ancient parchment scrolls that were long covered with dust.
At the end of the room was a wooden chair in which someone was sitting. It was a man with red hair, wearing a long black cloak and an open book in his hand. Though all that was left of the vampire was a skeleton, the man looked as though he were still alive, but his empty, soulless eyes showed that life had long since left him.
'Good.' The Knight of the Bloody Rose muttered, "This well has some of the best blood I've ever seen. If you drink it, you'll definitely increase your blood purity considerably.'
'I see.' Wain nodded as he approached the man, 'Who is he?'
Wain stared at him for a while as he couldn't figure out what race he was from. The man was quite handsome as there was no flaw in his appearance.
'He is definitely not one of the Pillars, then who is he? Human...?" Wain muttered inwardly, "But, can the body of a human not decompose if there's not even anything left of a vampire?'
