Chapter 276: Debt Counts As An Asset (3)
Ignorant human mages often said that blood magic could be done with water-type magic. Water-type magic wasn’t limited to water alone—if it was a liquid, it could be controlled. So naturally, people wondered whether blood, being just another liquid, could be handled with water-type magic.
And in a sense, they weren’t entirely wrong. To water mages, blood was nothing more than water mixed with iron. But the medium of blood magic wasn’t the liquid called blood—it was life force itself.
Blood Essence: called the source of life force, Blood Essence was the basic power used in blood magic. It awakened the life force contained within blood.
A level higher than this was Blood Crystal. This drew out the maximum life force within blood and was a power permitted only to pureblood vampires. Its corruptive force was so overwhelming that even a six-star Grandmaster could be instantly corrupted beyond recognition.
And the power wielded by the True Ancestor vampires was called Blood Soul. Although the common belief was that life force and the soul were separate, Blood Soul pulled out the soul from the blood. That overwhelming power was now flowing out through Issera, the pureblood vampire.
“Ahh... I can feel His omnipotence...!”
She had consumed no more than a single drop of blood, but even that one drop of True Ancestor blood granted her near-omnipotent power. If a human were near her now, they would become her slave without her issuing any command, even if they were a Master-level warrior.
Blood boiled around her. Tens of thousands of droplets rose into the air and swirled like living beings.
“Lady Elise. As someone who has become a True Ancestor, I can feel it. Right now... You are weaker than I am. Hehe, forgive me for saying this, but your current power... is about the same as mine. Has your seal not fully broken? Or perhaps... You haven’t consumed any blood?”
To Issera’s smug confidence, Elise let out a long sigh.
“You need not worry. If you simply follow me quietly, I won’t lay a hand on you.”
“So you will lay a hand on Sefira, then?”
