Chapter 899 Fight

For any creature, blood purity was one of the most important parameters for reaching new heights. It was something that didn't depend on the amount of energy, strong abilities, or unique body features, but blood purity could enhance each of these aspects.

Vampires had a whole new regeneration rate, Angels grew extra wings, and Axalts had greatly improved reflexes. Each race and each individual person had their own benefits from the increase in blood purity. However, for monsters, it was more important than for everyone else.

'Unlike the other races, every monster is kind of unique...' Wain inwardly muttered looking at Wolf whose aura had already increased significantly, 'They don't have an obvious development path as they are all too different, so the same monster with different blood purity, can be a completely new creature.'

Crackle.

The wolf had already drunk six of the nine potions Edena had provided him, so now it was time for the final stage. The wolf picked up the third potion, which was to increase his blood purity to 99%, opened it, and drank it, quickly absorbing the dark red liquid.

"Argh... How unusual..." The wolf muttered feeling a rare warmth spread throughout his body, even around his cold heart. The strength increased with each second, Wolf enjoyed it, until suddenly his eyes went wide with a sharp bout of pain.

'Shit! I shouldn't be distracted! If I don't drink the rest of the potions, I might die!' Wolf exclaimed to himself as he quickly opened the next potion.

His body was strong, but the chances of him dying were incredibly low, but he could barely stand the pain, which was growing by the second.

Crackle.

The wolf drank the second potion and tossed it aside immediately moving on to the next one, which was to strengthen his body one last time.

"Not bad, even though he was distracted, only a few scratch-sized wounds appeared on his body, but they are already healing. I told you he could definitely handle this ordeal." Wain spoke with a confident smirk as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Yeah... I guess so, but you have to understand that this is just the beginning. He has to go through a mortal battle to get to the Fifth Chronicle, but he'll go through evolution first." Edena muttered a thoughtful look, staring intently at Wolf.

Though their goal had now changed, since they wanted to save Wolf, it was still an experiment. Edena wanted to see how Wain's blood would work on monsters, and what effect it would have, but she was also curious about what a monster with two attributes could achieve after drinking her potion. Every alchemist was partly a scientist, Edena, and Lui Bu was no exception to this rule, so they were curious about what would happen next.

Gradually Wolf absorbed all the energy, it seemed that despite the rapid increase in blood purity nothing happened to him, but that was not the case at all.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

"Agh... What's going on...?" The wolf muttered in a confusion looking at his hands. Cracks began to appear in his skin, with cold steam coming out of them, so many that it was visible even under his fur.

"Here we go." Wain smirked, "Get ready, I'm sure you'll be in a lot more pain now than you were before, however, it will be worth it since for all that pain you'll get incredible strength."

"What...? What are you talking about?" Wolf asked with a puzzled look as his pupils sharply narrowed and his whole body shuddered.

"ARGHHHHH!!!" The wolf fell to his knees, roaring in horrible pain while waves of agony rippled through his body. The wolf felt as if thousands of red-hot needles were passing through his entire body and new ones were appearing immediately after, but they were several times larger than the previous ones!

His roar was terrifying so much as Edena and Lui Bu shuddered in fear, they didn't even want to imagine how much pain Wolf was in since just the sight of him trembling made them feel so bad.

"Fine, that means he's going to get a lot stronger, doesn't it?" Frigus asked calmly as he glanced at Wain.

"Sure." Wain nodded confidently, "Apparently his original blood purity was pretty low, so the changes will be more significant than we thought."

"That means he's enduring the maximum amount of pain, right?" Reto asked with a curious look, "I even feel a little sorry for him, but I'm also jealous, because the more suffering, the more valuable the reward, right?"

After a while, the painful roar of the wolf stopped in the lab. He stared at the ceiling with a blank stare that gradually grew deeper and filled with light.

"Well, well, that's different." Wain said looking at Wolf's new appearance that dramatically changed, "If I were in the Fourth Chronicle I would do anything to avoid facing such an opponent."

"Agh... This is incredible..." Wolf muttered, exhaling a massive cloud of cold steam that was powerful enough to cover the ceiling with a thin layer of ice.

On his hands now were two massive ice blades that seemed sharper than any existing sword. His claws grew longer and more deadly, exuding an eerie aura. Protective plates of darkness appeared on his legs as well as on his chest, they were sturdy and flexible, occasionally glowing with violet light.

A pool of darkness slowly spread out beside Wolf, wanting to engulf everything around him, but at his command it returned to him, transforming into sharp tips for his ears.

"Not bad, not bad at all." Frigus nodded confidently, "I could be wrong, but I think he's the strongest Fourth Chronicle monster we have right now."

The wolf shook his head trying to come to his senses, then he looked at Wain and asked, "Who will be my opponent? You said someone other than you would fight me, so who is it?"

Wain smirked, "Sure, I'll say. I hope you're ready for a fight."
