Chapter 176 – Favor
Summoning Scorpio, Dalia walked toward it with small steps, while she received support from Shane.
He couldn´t hinder her in doing whatever she wanted, as such Shane decided to be the pillar to support her, in every decision she took.
There was nothing else he could do.
“Ohh!!…Interesting….but how? Is it thanks to the compressed mana, in addition, to forcefully cleansing its mana core, or is there something else the cause for this lightly shining sapphire-colored exoskeleton?….”
Shane and Jason could only hear Dalia mumbling stuff to herself as she continued to inspect Scorpio while releasing her weakened mana in order to detect the minute details.
Turning to Jason, she asked “Can I draw out some of its blood in order to make a more in-depth test? I´m already relatively sure what race your small soulbond is, but I could also be wrong with it having a unique variation mutation, which I want to find out.”
Nodding his head, Jason transmitted the thought to Scorpio, who looked at him as if he was betrayed, as a small syringe appeared in Dalia´s hand.
Drawing out Scorpio´s blood, Jason just transmitted the pain his soulbond received to himself in order to lessen his soulbond´s thoughts about a betrayal.
When Dalia was done, she turned to Jason or rather Artemis with the same desire and curiosity gleaming in her eyes.
“Artemis…my dear cute princess….Can I also have some of your blood?” Dalia asked, trying to suck up to her but everything was useless as Artemis screeched out, rejected the proposal without hesitating for a single second.
She didn’t want anyone except Jason to touch her and drawing blood out of her was even less thinkable for her…
Jason smiled only at Artemis’ reaction and he knew that she didn’t like it, even though he was also curious about the test result Artemis could bring.
The amount of mana within her blood increased substantially and if this continued for good, Artemis´ mana and blood would be completely fused, enhancing every body part, without her doing anything at all.
With this, she would most likely even be able to defeat beasts stronger than her, as long as she didn´t have an innate disadvantage.
But even if that was the case, Jason wouldn´t force Artemis to do a test, she didn’t want to.
Dalia left Jason and Artemis with a dejected face, before she took out a small and compact testing machine, which would test Scorpio´s blood in order to find out similarities or contrast compared to certain other beasts.
The test would take some time and Jason remembered Greg´s situation suddenly, as he voiced out his concern.
Clearing his throat, he felt noticeably uncomfortable as he started
“Master…I didn’t want to hide the fact that Scorpio evolved from the Fler’s, because it would be a hassle and Greg, a good friend of mine who helped me out to come to Cyro-City has a reinforced-horned bull, with a sealed Lesser Minotaur bloodline.
Figuring out that I met a beast-creator, they asked me If I could ask you, the mysterious beast-creator I created if there was a way for you to help Greg´s soulbond to unseal his bloodline…
I also want to help him, but I’m not sure if you can or want to help out…”
Dalia looked at him without any noticeable emotions which made Jason feel even more uncomfortable, as she said
“Well..helping out your friend shouldn’t be a problem. If his non-elemental bull has a sealed bloodline, it won’t be that much of an issue to unseal it, as long it´s determination, pain-resistance, and the correct resources are provided.
If you have the bull´s data, you can show them to me, and I´ll tell you what ingredients I need to concoct the evolution solution, it will need. to evolve
As long as they have the resources, I´ll be able to concoct a potion or pellet in order to ignite the sealed bloodline.
With that, the bull will have to endure endless pain like Scorpio did, as it will undergo a small transformation.
The most important fact for this transformation will be the amount of mana in the surrounding.
With enough mana, it might even finish its evolution directly, but the required amount is extremely vast, as you might have already noticed.
As such, Greg and the Fler´s should already start to collect a mountain of mana stones in addition to the magical treasures, I´ll name later. This will take a rather long time even for above-average households.
In the end, a slow unsealing process should be easier but more painful for both Greg and his soulbond to endure.
Even so, it’s the faster process, as the bull will metamorphosis and enter a maturity process once again, exactly like your two soulbonds”
When Dalia finished, she looked at Jason, who showed multiple emotions at the same time.
On one side, he was extremely happy for Greg to be able to evolve or rather unseal his soulbond´s bloodline, but if his friend had to endure the same pain as he did, it would be a devastating process.
In the end, it could even harm Greg´s mental health, but Jason was confident in his friend’s endurance.
As such, everything was fine, as he sent Dalia the newest data about Taurus, Greg´s soulbond.
Reading through the data, an “Ohh” escaped her, as she read through the data slower, in order to memorize everything.
Two minutes later, her gaze returned to Jason, as she said
“Well… This will be easier than I thought…Your friend´s soulbond has already started to unseal its hidden bloodline, probably without even noticing it. As such, the required resources will be less while the ignition of its bloodline will be less painful, even though the metamorphosis will stay the same.”
Hearing this, Jason was astonished and he suddenly remembered the day, when the special combat classes started.
`Was it then?` He asked himself, as he remembered that Greg was even capable of obtaining a special combat class seat within the main Vanguard school, even though he barely entered the 4th Adept rank that time.
This had to be the answer and Jason felt enlightened after understanding the reasoning behind Greg´s special combat class seat ranking he accomplished in the beginning.
Greg was most likely still unaware of this, as he was thrown out of the special combat class seat ranking and unable to retrieve it again.
Jason was deep in thought and didn’t even hear a single *PIEEP*, that came from the small compact blood testing machine.
Only when he heard Dalia exclaiming cheerfully, Jason looked up, only to see a holographic screen in front of his cheerful master.
Shane was also astonished to see Dalia being so cheerful, even though he was weak, as she said
“Jason, you’re really fortunate, I don’t really know exactly why or how Scorpio did it, but his evolution path is exceptional.
If I´m not mistaken, Scorpio will evolve into a Radiant Sapphire Scorpion, which is a Magical ranked beast, if enough potential and resources are given…you’re truly fortunate!”
“HUH?” Shane and Jason exclaimed at the same time as both couldn´t believe what happened right now.
