Chapter 198: Precursor
If she had to say, the drop of blood looked like a real world, with its own laws and operation rules.
But Liora had long been accustomed to this.
Staring at this droplet, her demonic energy controlled the beasts’ blood and let it drop onto it.
Immediately, the mysterious blood awakened.
It began to devour the blood like a hungry beast, while exuding a strange power that wanted to affect Liora and make her lose herself.
Fortunately, this strange power had been weakened severely compared to her time on the Crucible.
Seemingly affected by the suppression of this world, it became easy for Liora to brush its influence off.
The moment this power was dissolved, though, another wave of power came from the mysterious blood.
But this time, Liora didn’t try to resist.
Instead, she allowed this power to wash over her.
The next second, her vision grew blurry. Her soul seemed to have been pulled out of her body, entering an entirely different world.
Before long, she peeped into the memories contained within the bloodline of the beast.
Image after image surfaced in her mind, and she watched them from a third-person perspective, as if she were watching a movie.
--
Liora did not know how much blood she had used, nor how many memories she had digested.
All she knew was that the total memories numbered in the hundreds, if not even more.
Still, she was able to gain a surprising amount of valuable information through digesting them.
The fact that the mysterious blood could absorb the blood of other creatures and dig into their bloodline memories had long been known to her.
However, so far, this had not been useful.
Liora had tried to make use of this ability and had offered it many beast corpses before, but to absolutely no benefit.
After all, most beasts did not have any powerful ancestors.
The scenes she saw in their memories were quite ordinary, with almost no value.
Yet now, having obtained the blood of King of Knights beasts with the help of the Beast Emperor, Liora’s gains were truly massive.
With the help of the mysterious blood, she was able to catch a glimpse of this world’s history, as if she had personally witnessed it.
Time slowly went by.
Before long, all the blood brought by the Beast Emperor had been consumed, turning into fuel for the mysterious blood.
But Liora was slow to react.
Her crimson eyes were hazy, and her mind remained still, as if she had fallen into illusion.
It took a few minutes for her to recover.
Immediately, she shook her head and urged her demonic energy to rush through her body, dispelling the side effects.
"Sure enough, digesting so many memories is not without any danger. Although the blood’s influence is nearly negligible, the passive absorption of memories still has some side effects."
"If I had not regained my strength and become a Lesser Devil, obtaining so many memories at once might have driven me crazy.
