A month had passed since Emery found out the truth about Silva's condition. Since then, he had been constantly trying to recover his ability to cast spells and cooperating with the experiments performed on him.
Every week, a batch of the valuable serum arrived at his residence, delivered by the Ouroboros to be injected into his blood stream.
[Calculating ancestor blood essence percentage…]
[42% Twilight fey wolf essence found]
[Your bloodline just went through a purifying process]
[Gene purified]
[Twilight Fey wolf gene essence percentage increased to 43%]
[Battle power increased]
[Battle power: 258 (260)]
Emery exhaled, relieved as he saw the notifications appear in his mind. It was the 30th serum he had injected into his body this past month. However, it was the tenth one he took this week and the only breakthrough he got.
When he returned to the facility to undergo his usual tests, he informed the hybrid frog about his situation. The latter could only say that his body had gained resistance to the serum and that it would only get worse the more he took.
"I guess this serum is no longer a feasible solution"
"What do you mean not feasible? Just give me a hundred more, I will inject them all!"
The frog hybrid rolled his huge eyes at the ridiculous words Emery said and then yelled, "Do you think it's so easy to make them?!"
As it turned out, the Ouroboros had to scour multiple galaxies in search of the ingredients [Day Wolf Gene] needed to create the [Fey Serum]. They had managed to procure a moderate number of those ingredients, but apparently most of them had been used up.
"We can only make ten more for this month," said Bob, causing Emery to frown. "We will find some more later."
Heaving a sigh, Emery stared at the hybrid frog saying, "Try harder, faster."
"Arrrghhh!" Bob shouted in frustration, feeling like tearing his hair out at those words. "You ungrateful brat! Where is that nice kid I met in Zodiac City 7 years ago?!"
Not knowing what he meant, Emery calmly said "He died."
Pin-drop silence fell between the two of them and lasted for a while before Bob eventually continued to instruct Emery on how to handle the serum effectively, in order to make the most of its effects.
Now that the amount of serum available to him was limited, what Emery needed to do for maximum efficiency was to allow the serum to dwell in his body for a while before injecting a second dose. The frog hybrid advised him to inject the scrum with an interval of three days from now on, and he hoped that next month he would be able to give him more of the serum.
"Ten is not enough." Emery said, causing Bob to frown this time. "That will only give one or two percent increase at most. We need more."
"If you know any other way, Tell me then?" asked the frog hybrid with a taunting smirk.
Besides training, Emery had actually spent the last month delving into his mind with the [Memory Puzzle], specifically looking at everything that had to do with his breakthrough in his gene essence.
He knew that he didn't have access to as much of the serum as he now had at that time, yet he had managed to attain such a high percentage of gene essence. Therefore, there must be something that allowed him to make it happen.
From the search through his memories, he found two instances where his gene essence was drastically boosted.
The first was in a cave deep in a restricted area where a certain set of bones lay trapped in a crystal. It was an encounter he had with something called Celestial Soul. As for the second, it was when he joined Patriarch Lucius' inner circle as the Beta Wolf. A big mistake that he still deeply regrets to this day.
Since there was no way he would be willing to repeat the second instance, Emery was left with the other solution he could think of; the so-called Celestial Soul.
To his surprise, Bob's eyes bulged in shock as he told the frog hybrid about his experience.
pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ "Celestial Soul!?" He asked in disbelief, while Emery nodded his head nonchalantly. "That's even more difficult, if not borderline impossible, to obtain! It's something that even supreme magus sought after! And even if, by some luck, there exists one, no one in their right mind would give it to a young magus like you!"
"Then you tell me, what other options do I have? Are there similar items that would help?"
Bob walked over to the nearby machine, where he appeared to be going through a list of things. Moments later, he looked at him again and said, "There are a few actually, not sure it would be compatible with wolfblood like you, and none of these are easy to find or readily available."
Emery approached the frog hybrid and looked at a short list of just three items. All of them were known to instantly help a Mythical Rank Wolf Bloodline obtain a boost to their gene essence.
[Nine Soul Pearls]
[Ancestor Pure Blood]
[Pit Fiends Dust]
Emery has no knowledge whatsoever of what they were other than what he data stated. All were rare, precious ingredients, and their efficacy could help a mythical rank Wolf gene bloodline.
"I will ask the queen to look for any of them, but I don't think she can help"
Bob then exhaled a deep sigh. "She's my favorite niece you know… I'm not kidding… I have dozens of them, but she's my favorite." A serious look appeared on his face as he said, "I want her to recover, but I have to remind you that reaching Rank 7 bloodline doesn't necessarily mean you could save her… It's just still a possibility."
"A possibility of her survival…" Emery said, "Still good enough for me."
When his visit to the facility concluded, Emery took the flying vehicle with Annara once again. This time, he could sense the red-haired woman wanting to say something, but was reluctant to say it.
"What's wrong?" asked Emery, causing her to look at him. "It's so not you, being so hesitant. Just say it. "What is it?"
"I actually know where you can get one of those items, I just need to go confirm it"
Annara didn't say where she went off to, only that she would be off the planet for a few days.
While he waited for her return, Emery returned to his training.
