It has been 3 months since I have been staying here in this camp. I just ca here to see if there was anything interesting going on and sohow ended up finding a half-vampire who was healing humans suffering from a blood related disease.
I tried asking for his reasons but all he said was,"Is there any reason for not doing a good deed when you are capable of doing so?" and I looked at his smiling face wondering if he was really that genuine or was making up that shit… however it looked as if it was genuine so I decided to watch over him for the ti being.
Alaric Pere was his na, a half vampire born from the mating of a human and a vampire. Even though it was really hard to digest the facts about his origin, since the living proof was right in front of , I couldn't really deny it, can I?
'A Dhampir?' I thought as I looked at him before I told him that I would watch over him and he simply agreed without hesitation. When I asked him how he could trust that easily, he simply answered,"So things… are better left unsaid."
After that I asked Zial to show around, which he did. One thing led to another, and I ended up helping people here every now and then. It was a nice change from my usual mundane travelling and I was benefiting from it as well…
…
"[Blood Assimilation Magic]" Alaric activated his spell from his system as he looked at that patient and connected his blood with that patient. His System allowed him to control and check the blood of others, as long as he can physically touch it.
He had a vast knowledge about blood and when I showed him my blood magic… he was more than just amazed by it. He asked how I use it and other stuff, which I replied with an honest answer. Though that only made him more confused before he gave up on my blood magic and spoke if I wanted to learn about Blood Assimilation Magic, since I could more or less copy most of the magic, I readily agreed to it cause… why not?
He was a kindred soul, helping everyone whenever he could… Watching him doing all the hard work, from healing the patients to teaching blood magic, made feel like that the world is still worth fighting for.
So, for the past 3 months I have been helping people out here anwhile also learning about Blood Magic and various properties of blood from Alaric. As far as teaching goes, he was an excellent teacher, and with his teaching, now I was helping people on par with him. I also helped him with his theories and stuff using my own knowledge and intelligence pool I had collected over the years.
At tis when I was not learning, I was helping people out while also training on my own whenever I could.
'We are almost there, aren't we?' I thought as I looked at the Blood Assimilation Magic of Alaric as he studied the changes in the blood of his patients there. I also helped him in that process wherever I could using the sa blood Assimilation Magic he used, though it wasn't as effective as his.
"Reaper!! Look!!" Alaric spoke with excitent as he looked at those blood samples, and hearing his sudden excited voice, I too analysed it only to be dumbfounded by what I saw.
"The black blood is returning to normal?!! What did you do?!" I asked with the sa enthusiasm he had as I looked at him with a bright smile.
Maybe because I had been working on this for months that I was so glad with the progress we made after all that effort… or perhaps I was happy that Alaric is almost closer to his goal after putting in all that work.
His face was beaming and then he spoke,"Your theory of using an alternate pathway to return the blood to its original state using a catalyst worked!! All this ti I was so fixated on reversing the process… but damn! To think it would be this simple…"
I looked at him before asking again with a cheerful voice,"what is the catalyst?"
It took us hours and hours of work to determine the right catalyst. Half the ti, we chose the reversing theory to see if we could bring the blood to its previous state. Other tis, we tried using various catalysts to change the properties of black blood to sothing suitable to humans.
'The amount of ti and patience it took for each experint was not a laughing matter,' I thought with a slightly tired smile as I looked at Alaric as he kept smiling at with his eyes glistening as he spoke,"it's Red Monster Core… it upgrades the blood when used after diluting it with white feathers of Pleuri Tree by thousand tis."
I looked at him with a slightly dumbfounded expression before recalling the properties of the objects he ntioned right now.
Red Monster Cores are usually taken from the monsters who have used their berserk modes and then are killed before their berserk mode is over. It has the property of enhancing blood, muscle and skin, which is extrely beneficial for people whose abilities are more physically inclined.
White Feathers of Pleura are actually the flowers of a tree that is found near high-density mana areas. It doesn't get affected by the mana around it. In fact, it resists it to no end. The flowers, that is the White Feathers, have strong mana diminishing property which is beneficial for various alchemic reactions.
'If we reduce the property of Red Monster Core using the White Feathers… surely it would be ideal to enhance the property of blood. Though wouldn't it just increase the property of the black part of the blood too?'
"Did you forcefully enhance the original portion of the blood using the Red Monster Core so that it overpowers the black parts?" I asked him as I looked at him with a deliberating look and he scratched the back of his head with a slightly awkward smile, as if the cat was out of the box.
'Though, even so, to finally get a thread of hope to get the success to cure this disease… man, that is really sothing,' I thought as I looked at him, still beaming with that smile.
"How many Red Monster Cores do we have left? What about the feathers?" I asked, and he looked at with a sigh before speaking,"as for the feathers, we have enough of it right now. Though the Red Monster Core… is sothing we severely lack. Sorry Reaper, Can I ask you for a favour again?"
I saw him joining his palms together and bowing to and I sighed before speaking,"All right. I need to get so Red Monster Cores, right? From what I rember, there is a Nest of Desert Harpies nearby-"
"Thank you so much Reaper!!! You really are a saviour!!!" He spoke as he held my arms before hugging tightly as he kept crying and thanking at the sa ti.
For a few monts, I let him cry before it kinda got annoying, and I had to forcefully separate him before I glared at him. Even still, he got up with a cheerful smile and I couldn't help but speak,
"I will be leaving in about an hour or so. Still got so small business to finish here."
He then wished luck before sending out and so I did, where I t a few more people and helped them as usual. They thanked after I was done with helping them, before moving back to their work and I moved towards my house where I found about 20 to 25 people waiting there.
'Ah! Totally forgot about them,' I thought as I looked at my students whom I have been teaching ways to protect themselves in tis of danger. At first, it was really annoying, but then I found that almost all of them have a unique magic of their own. While I can't really use them, learning about those abilities would be really helpful if I am in a pinch or sothing.
"Well… the class is cancelled for today. I have so important work to do," I spoke before entering the room while they looked at with a disappointed look before bowing and leaving from there.
'I wonder how surprised they would be when they realise that they are going to be cured soon… maybe I would form my own travelling group or sothing?' I kind of daydread with a bright smile on my face as I prepared for my excursion.
It might be a day or two before I co back, so I need to make sure I have enough for a long return trip… I also tried recalling the Desert Harpies and their weaknesses and strong points, while I could.
Later on that evening, I began moving towards the Harpies, looking forward to a better future… for and for the others.
