One day later, Bloed and Regina were inside a laboratory studying the tissue of the creature that Regina brought back.
"It's amazing" Bloed could not help but sigh in admiration. "I can't believe that the people of this world managed to create sothing like this."
Just like Bloed thought, this creature was not truly a Devourer. Instead, it also had genes of other creatures, creating a species of chira that possessed the Devourers' ability to devour energy but without their highly contaminating thod of reproduction.
The fact that the people of this world managed to create sothing like this astounded Bloed. It once else reminded him to not underestimate magic.
However, this creature was not perfect. Quite the opposite, it had a lot of flaws.
According to Bloed's observations, the creature's genetic makeup would collapse after five to ten days, killing the creature completely. Right now, this creature's lifespan was no longer than a few days.
Moreover, it had so other defects, like the fact that it could not defecate what it ate.
However, the greatest problem was that Bloed noticed that its contaminant and devouring nature was not truly eliminated. Instead, it was sealed and hidden.
It was very hard to notice it, and most likely, the people of this world failed to discern it. However, Bloed was certain that after enough ti and several generations of reproduction, this creature would turn into a complete Devourer able to multiplicate at an unbelievable rate and eat everything in its way.
But even with these defects, the creature was still amazing.
There were even so things that left Bloed fascinated.
For example, the source behind the creature fast speed and powerful strength.
Every cell of the creature had the ability to store energy, and that energy could be used to strengthen the creature's body, making it faster and stronger.
Such a thod was completely different than using mana to enhance the body. However, it was just as effective.
But the main reason that Bloed was fascinated by it was that it provided him with a lot of ideas.
Since a while ago, Bloed had been trying to create a new way to strengthen his body. His idea was to create a virus that modified his cells and allowed them to store energy; sothing very similar to what this creature could do.
Unfortunately, Bloed had not been successful thus far. In fact, he had already created five prototypes, but even the best one was far too dangerous to use in himself.
Bloed's body was starting to be unable to keep up with his current strength. Right now, Bloed was at the late stage of B-Grade, and although his body was stronger than mages of the sa level, it was slightly lacking if his opponent was a martial artist.
At this rate, his body would soon beco a weakness.
Due to it, Bloed was eager to finish the 'Body-Enhancing Virus'.
"Well, there is no point in rushing it."
"Master?"
"It's nothing. I was just thinking about sothing."
Regina nodded. She then looked at the creature and spoke up.
"It looks like the creature was useful to you, master."
"Yes. It was a great idea to bring it here. Thank you."
"It's nothing. I'm glad that I was helpful. Do you think you can get sothing from it?"
"I'm sure I can. In fact, you probably will hear the good news soon." Bloed said happily, making Regina smile.
The pair continued studying the creature, with Bloed analyzing its tissue and Regina's acting as his assistant. Before long, Bloed had gotten enough data to create a new prototype of the Body-Enhancing Virus.
He was planning to close himself in his laboratory until he finished the next prototype. With a bit of luck, he would have it done after two days.
But just then, an unexpected visitor arrived at the club.
"Headmistress Wave? What is she doing here?"
"Is it about the compensation that she promised?"
Bloed and Regina asked curiously.
"She told that it's one of the reasons, but the main reason is another." Liu Ying replied. "That is everything that I know."
Bloed fell deep in thought for a mont before nodding.
"Okay, tell the headmistress to wait in my office. I'll go there soon."
"Okay."
After asking Liu Ying to guide the headmistress to his office, Bloed took a bath and changed his clothes. He then went to his office, where Headmistress Wave was already waiting for him.
"It's good to see that you are alright, boy." The headmistress greeted him calmly. "I heard that you were unconscious for one day, so I was a bit worried."
"It was nothing serious. I was just a bit tired after overusing my abilities."
"Your abilities, huh." The headmistress looked at Bloed with interest.
For an instant, she could not help but think about the terrifying aura she felt that day.
She wanted to ask Bloed about it, but after thinking for a mont, she decided not to. After all, everybody has secrets.
Even if she was curious, she could ask him after they beca closer.
"Why are you, headmistress?" Bloed asked curiously.
" Part of the reason is to compensate you and reward you for what happened two days ago." The headmistress said. "However, that is not the main reason."
Bloed raised an eyebrow.
"Really? What is it, then? I'm curious now."
The headmistress did not reply imdiately. Instead, she hesitated for a mont as though she was considering sothing.
But after a while, she took a deep breath and spoke up.
"Actually, I need your help with sothing."
Looking straight into Bloed's eyes, the headmistress told him the reason why she was here.
"Mr. Bloed, can you tell more about the things that you call 'Security Caras'?"
