Blood Assimilation

As Randy listened to Miss Feng's story, he could not help but mutter with a pondering expression: "So they could not open it, huh…?"

"That's right," Miss Feng replied, and she then continued: "Although only their subordinates tried to open this mysterious black book, they were still considered to have some significant strength, enough to fight alongside their lords and masters, and yet they could not open the mysterious black book. When the various powerhouses realized this fact, they reluctantly went to try and open the mysterious black book thinking that perhaps their subordinates were not strong enough to open the book. However, they were soon disappointed when none of them even with their tremendous strength and excessive knowledge could even manage to open the mysterious black book."

Miss Feng took a deep breath before continuing: "It was during this time, only after this realization that the prominent figures and geniuses from the various powerful families of that world called a truce and then after various arguments decided to conjointly study the mysterious black book. This lasted for a few decades without any results."

"However, as time went by, their world was somehow connected to ours through the dimensional rifts that appeared in our world." Miss Feng said as she looked at Randy who was attentively listening to her with a focused expression. 

At this point, Randy suddenly opened his mouth to ask doubtfully: "So, are you saying that the mysterious black book somehow manage to come to our world through warping through space and dimension just like how it arrived in that other world?" 

"No, that's not it."

Miss Feng readily refuted and then she explained: "After our world discovered that it was a magical world that was on the other side of the dimensional rift, many mages and magical warriors of various backgrounds who were licensed as Seekers decided to travel through the stabilized dimensional rift in hopes of finding some treasures or valuable resources."

"Ah, so the Seekers were the ones that brought the mysterious black book to our world?" Randy doubtfully asked.

"Indeed." Miss Feng agreed and then she said: "The Seekers entered that world through the dimensional rift and during one of their searches for precious things, they stumbled upon a group of people in a tavern, that was discussing the events that transpired a few decades ago, events prior to the appearance of the mysterious black book and after the world-shaking event that took place in their world afterward, right after the appearance of the mysterious black book. Hearing this discussion among the group of people, the seekers who craved rare items and resources were instantly intrigued by their conversation and the discovery of a potential rare treasure book. However, not all of them were willing to take such a risk, especially after hearing about how their world was almost destroyed just from the appearance of that mysterious book."

"And with that thought in mind, some of them gave up on searching for the mysterious black book, nevertheless, those who were daredevil and adventurous decided to invade the Imperial storage of the most powerful Empire of that world using their bizarre and unique abilities. And then, they successfully managed to steal the mysterious black book, however they neglected the possibility of everything being too easy and that the mysterious black book itself had an enchanted spell on it, which then allowed the imperial knights and imperial magicians of that Empire to track them down."

Randy suddenly said: "That's true, how could an entire empire not be aware of their most prized possession being stolen…? That was too reckless of them."

"You're right, and they paid a heavy price for this recklessness." Miss Feng agreed with him.

And then she continued to with her story: "After they were tracked down and hunted by the forces from the empire, an inevitable fight broke out when they caught with them. There was bloodshed in the aftermath as the many seekers on that expedition ended being slaughtered or burned to death. They could not retaliate against the forces comprising of the imperial knights and imperial magicians that served the imperial family of that empire, after all, the strength of such individuals was not something that those seekers of our world could compare to no matter how many special abilities they might possess."

"Wait a second, if they all lost their lives, then how did the black book still end up in our world?" Randy asked in confusion, because earlier when he assumed that the mysterious black book came to their world by itself, Miss Feng claimed that was not what happened, so how did the mysterious black book still end up in their world?

"Well, somehow one of the seekers survived this ordeal. Luckily or unluckily, the sole survivor also managed to bring with him the mysterious black book, eventually leaving that world through the concealed rift on the end of that world. Although the imperial magicians most likely noticed that the other party had used some sort of spatial traveling technique to leave their world, however, they did not pursue them." 

"Why is that?" Randy suddenly in curiosity.

Miss Feng replied: "That was because for some reason when the seekers were exploring that world, they discovered that the other world also had dimensional rifts, however whenever they appear in that world their strongest magicians with spatial spells closed them right away and they also made the habit of not attempting to open a dimensional rift since the last time they did, some terrifying monsters came out to their world and started wreaking havoc, which then took them a lot of effort to eventually defeat them. And thus, many on our side assumed that was most likely the reason why that sole survivor was not pursued despite clearly leaving behind traces as he left that world." 

"Sometimes, though, the people on that side follow the departing seekers, but fortunately we had the energy detection and also the identification confirmation chip that was enchanted and placed in every identification card of an awakened individual. And so, usually, after sensing a powerful but unfamiliar fluctuation of energy coming from the other side without being able to identify them, we would have no choice but to forcefully close down the dimensional rift to prevent an invasion of a powerful being, even if we have to abandon the said seeker that was being followed." 

"I see.... But even so, how did that survivor manage to escape the forces of that other world's most powerful empire? Since all his comrades had died to them, and only they survived, then by logic, It shouldn't have been easy for him to escape, right?" Randy pursued further by asking, after hearing her explanation about various crucial things and then pondering the events for a bit.
