Synthetic Wizard - Chapter 39: Divine Blood Amber
Chapter 39: Chapter 39: Divine Blood Amber
Divine Blood!
Sunan never expected that the blood in the amber would turn out to be this kind of thing.
One must know that a thousand years ago, the Starlight Continent was the territory of wizards, and no divine spirit would dare venture into it seeking destruction.
Logically, there shouldn’t be any divine blood present.
Could it be that in the thousand years after the wizards left, some otherworldly divine spirits infiltrated the Starlight Continent to spread their faith?
Sunan couldn’t help but recall the Star God worshipped by the Starfire Sect.
Originally, he thought the Star God was something fabricated by the Starfire Sect’s leadership to deceive the lower-level followers, but now it seems that might not be the case.
But if the Star God really exists, why don’t the followers of the Starfire Sect know even a single divine art, with their combat skills entirely following the native knight system?
Or, perhaps, this divine blood is just material collected by a wizard a thousand years ago, left behind till now?
Frowning and pondering for a moment without coming to a conclusion, Sunan shook his head, temporarily pushing this matter aside, and refocused his attention on the Divine Blood Amber in his hand.
After a moment’s hesitation, he dissipated the energy particles in his palm, letting his skin touch the Divine Blood Amber.
In an instant, his spirit wavered, and he seemed to hear indistinct whispers by his ear.
In his vision, there appeared a grand and majestic hall, where a towering figure sat high upon the divine throne, with countless fervent believers kneeling below.
Numerous prayers and hymns echoed in his mind, extolling the greatness and omnipotence of the divine spirit.
Sunan furrowed his brow tightly, using energy particles to isolate the Divine Blood Amber, and the eerie sounds and visions in his mind finally disappeared.
“So, this is what’s called spiritual contamination.”
Sunan’s expression turned somewhat solemn.
Even with his spiritual power, he couldn’t completely resist the spiritual contamination. For others, even knights, it would be difficult not to be turned into fanatic believers after long exposure to such contamination.
“However, although the spiritual contamination is terrifying, this thing also has its advantages.”
Just a moment ago, upon touching the Divine Blood Amber, Sunan distinctly felt his body’s attraction to the free energy particles in the air increase significantly.
For knights, this means their bodies can be constantly bathed in the infusion of energy particles, subtly enhancing their physique at all times.
Presumably, the Starfire Sect utilizes the spiritual contamination and physique-enhancing properties of the Divine Blood Amber to rapidly cultivate a large number of fervently faithful knights, thus quickly expanding their power.
Likewise, for wizard apprentices, the Divine Blood Amber also holds benefits.
The essence of meditation is actually to absorb energy particles to strengthen spiritual power.
Since the Divine Blood Amber can enhance the absorption of energy particles, it can naturally also improve the efficiency of meditation.
“The problem is how to eliminate the spiritual contamination?”
Sunan certainly didn’t want to turn into a fanatic believer of that so-called Star God.
“If the synthesis cube can enhance the effects of synthesized objects while weakening side effects, then with enough Divine Blood Amber, could I not use synthesis to weaken the side effects of spiritual contamination?”
Sunan’s eyes lit up.
Previously, when he used the blood of the Black-scaled Lizardman to synthesize the blood of the Dragon Lizard and Sub-Dragon, he successfully reduced the rejection reaction.
If he synthesized the Divine Blood Amber, the results would likely be similar.
With this thought in mind, Sunan instantly became excited, looking hopefully at Amy.
“Amy, do you have any more of this stuff?”
“No, meow, I only took one.” Amy shook her head.
Sunan felt a bit disappointed, yet persistently asked, “What about the Starfire Sect, the place where those bad guys live, do they have a lot of this stuff?”
“Lots, meow.”
Amy raised her paw, gently tapping on the floor, counting each tap as a number.
“One, two, three, four… twenty-two, twenty-four, twenty-five, there are twenty-five of them.”
… Your counting needs improvement.
But twenty-four pieces of Divine Blood Amber is not a small amount.
That makes sense. Since the Starfire Sect can use the Divine Blood Amber to rapidly grow, it indicates that they must possess a considerable quantity of it.
Sunan’s spirit perked up.
If he could get hold of enough Divine Blood Amber, the problem of enhancing meditation efficiency might be solved!
“Amy, can you sell this to me?” Sunan shook the Divine Blood Amber in his hand.
“What do you want this for, meow?” Amy tilted her head in confusion. “If you want it, I can give it to you, but you must do me a favor.”
“What is it?”
“Amy has been relentlessly pursued by those bad guys, not even getting a good night’s sleep. Can you help me drive them away?”
Sunan smiled slightly, agreeing without hesitation.
“No problem.”
He was already planning to deal with the Starfire Sect, so doing this favor was just a matter of course.
Tearing off a piece of tablecloth, he wrapped the Divine Blood Amber and put it in his pocket, then turned to look at the dazed Honey.
The spellbound humans, under the effect of the charm magic, can clearly remember what happens around them, so keeping this person alive was not an option.
Just as Sunan was preparing to deal with him, his expression suddenly changed, activating the Earth Rune Gemstone in his hand without hesitation.
A pale yellow halo with a weighty texture instantly enveloped his entire body.
The next moment, the door exploded with a bang.
Amidst the flying debris, two crescent-shaped sword qi struck like arrows, targeting Sunan and Amy respectively.
Sunan raised his hand to block, the sword qi striking his palm with a thud, causing a brief stalemate before abruptly dispersing, the violent shockwave colliding with the yellow halo on his body, producing ripples but failing to penetrate.
On the other side, as the sword qi attacked, Amy had already teleported to an unknown location using space-warping.
Whoosh!
The sound of something slicing through the air erupted!
Two more sword qi attacks arrived, this time aimed at Sunan and the unconscious noblewoman on the bed.
The latter was shredded into a mist of blood by the sword qi without resistance.
This time, Sunan was prepared, dodging the sword qi with ease, squinting as he looked outside.
“Both attacks were so precise, can it sense the location of people in the room?”
His gaze flickered, and Sunan casually snapped Honey’s neck, then quickly dashed out of the room, passing through the courtyard and onto the street.
More than twenty people, cloaked and armored, had already surrounded the house heavily.
Leading them were two tall, burly men whose bodies glowed faintly in the moonlight.
Great Knights!
“Meow, it’s you bad guys again!”
Amy, who appeared on a rooftop more than ten meters away at some unknown time, glared angrily at the Starfire Sect members.
Sunan immediately understood that these people should be the Starfire Sect members that had been pursuing Amy.
The two great knights in the lead were probably the priest Troy and priest Ryan that Honey mentioned.
Troy and Ryan ignored Amy’s words, their eyes cautiously fixed on Sunan.
“Who are you?”
Sunan’s face was covered with a layer of yellow halo, making it impossible to see his features clearly.
However, the ease with which he resisted two consecutive sword qi attacks made Troy and Ryan not dare to underestimate him.
“Divine Blood is on him!”
At this moment, Ryan took out a statue to look at it, his expression abruptly changing, with a sharp gaze like a sword directed toward Sunan.
Troy’s expression also turned cold, pointing his sword at Sunan, shouting sternly, “Hand it over!”
Sunan didn’t waste words, raising his hand to release a bolt of lightning.
Troy and Ryan quickly dodged, but the Starfire Sect followers behind them weren’t that quick or agile, being turned to charcoal instantly by the lightning.
“Wizard!”
Seeing their scorched followers, Troy and Ryan’s faces changed dramatically. They looked at Sunan, now considering him a significant threat.
The two decisively issued orders simultaneously.
“Kill him!”
