I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Although the sheer number of skeletal and metal spikes they controlled was intimidating, those things couldn't break through their defenses at all.

Taking advantage of the opponent's flight and his belief that no one could hit him, he rushed up and punched him to pieces.

After thinking it over, Ivan grinned: "That's exactly right."

Armitage chuckled and sighed, "There's not much of a fundamental difference between an expert and an apprentice right after their promotion."

"But as you gain a deeper understanding of extraordinary abilities, and as those abilities begin to merge, you will be able to exert an overwhelming effect on your apprentices."

Ivan immediately recalled his first encounter with old Alcott, when he was completely bewildered by the man's desire spirit, and nodded in deep empathy.

After the long course ended, Armitage took Ivan out for an affordable meal.

Although his physique reached eleven points again after this breakthrough, Ivan did not eat freely for fear of scaring Dr. Armitage.

I only spent three dollars on inexpensive food.

Fortunately, the restaurant owner, who lived near the museum, seemed to be a worldly person.

Facing the stack of various plates in front of Ivan, he nodded calmly and then quietly tidied up and left.

After the two left the restaurant, Armitage sighed: "Kid! You need to get back to work, or you won't be able to afford food if you keep going like this."

Ivan sighed, "That's what I think too."

Armitage then arranged for Ivan to stay in a temporary room on the inner side of the third floor.

The entire guest room is not large, about nine square meters.

The decor was quite ordinary, with wooden floors and beige wallpaper on both sides.

Inside, there was a table, a bed, a wardrobe, and prepared bedding.

Neat and simple.

The time that followed passed quickly.

When it was 8 p.m., after Evan ate two dollars' worth of food, the spiritual shock buff on his body finally subsided.

Feeling his mind return to normal, Evan happily pounded his chest with both hands, declaring his triumphant return.

Armitage was not with him during this process.

The old gentleman continued to lean against the counter in front of him, engrossed in his book.

It seemed that the old man would feel uncomfortable if he didn't read for even a moment.

With the help of a true big shot by his side, Evan seized the opportunity to unlock the memories belonging to the ghoul wizard.

Soon, a multitude of scenes gradually appeared before Ivan.

The first scene shows the ghoul wizard worshipping something.

But it seems to have no connection with the skeletal holy child, and its appearance is unclear.

From this memory, Ivan learned that the ghoul wizard's name was Pru.

Pru is a native, naturally born ghoul, born in the Dreamland.

He had a strong grasp of his spirituality from birth and was then chosen to become a ghoul wizard.

The various scenes progressed rapidly, and Ivan soon saw a pair of familiar hands—Klaus's hands.

Klaus gave Prue several black bone fragments.

The entire bone fragment was engraved with special characters in blood.

Ivan didn't recognize these characters; they must belong to the ghoul race.

But Ivan learned the contents of these words from Pru's memories.

This is a document about the birth of the Bone Child and some potion recipes.

"Holy crap! Are these guys really plotting something this big?" Evan exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

According to the memories, the Bone Saint is a son of God who inherited the power of the Ghoul King.

Upon its birth, it will immediately possess the status of a transcendent being, with immense power.

However, cultivating a skeletal saint is naturally not so easy.

Due to the physical limitations of ghouls, there is a limit to the amount of power they can absorb from the ghoul king.

This plan involves using various potions and magical elixirs to temporarily encapsulate the power they cannot withstand within magical potions.

These potions were then infused into the body of a sufficiently powerful mother through various magical arrays.

Finally, through a method unknown to Pru, it was transformed into the Bone Saint.

Prue didn't know much about the detailed plan.

His main responsibility was the concoction of potions that could contain more power.

Subsequent memories are quite monotonous and repetitive.

Pru, Martin, and the tank formed a trio, constantly searching for various materials and then experimenting with and optimizing them.

However, a large number of experiments ended in failure.

The power of the gods is too great; ordinary materials cannot contain it.

They even managed to obtain a large amount of Healing Church buffers through their connections with Sap.

Unfortunately, the buffer's effect is countered by the ghouls' attributes.

The aura of the Ghoul King was even neutralized by the buffer after being injected into it, eventually turning into a black, gelatinous mass.

Frustrated, they began looking for new solutions.

During this process, they also established contact with the Red King Laboratory.

Unfortunately, that place seems to have nothing to do with the Bone Saint, and the background of everything is blurred.

The scene moves forward rapidly.

Later, in a battle, Pru killed a Witcher in the Dream Realm.

The Witcher is a male who wears a snake-shaped pendant around his neck.

The level was apprentice, and I couldn't see their face or know what had happened.

Anyway, after Pru ​​killed the other party, he inadvertently thought that the blood of the Witcher could be used to buffer the effects of the potion.

So he quickly began experimenting with the blood of a Witcher.

The result greatly encouraged Pru.

After dozens or even hundreds of related attempts and a long period of optimization.

Ultimately, this allowed Pru to obtain a completely new potion recipe.

Pru called it: the buffer potion.

The main ingredient in the potion recipe is the blood of a witcher, and the auxiliary ingredients are rosemary, white sea salt, and lead.

This potion doesn't offer any functional enhancements or strengthen the body in any way.

However, it can withstand a large amount of power internally.

Pru quickly discovered that a standard-sized bottle of buffer potion could accommodate a volume comparable to the entire capacity of an apprentice-level ghoul.

He immediately reported this shocking discovery to Klaus.

He couldn't hear what Klaus said next, but he could sense that Klaus was quite excited and thrilled.

As they continued their research, they discovered that the higher the quality of a Witcher's blood, the more power it could contain.

They began to target and hunt down expert-level witchers.

They discovered that expert-level witchers have more than five times the blood volume of normal apprentice-level witchers.

It was during this process that Ivan overheard Pru and the others' dissatisfaction with Klaus.

So they secretly investigated Klaus's weaknesses under the guise of searching for the skeletal saint.

Evan learned from this that Klaus now had two rather serious weaknesses.

One is weak to metal, just like vampires are weak to silver.

He also weakened the dollar.

Seeing the US dollar is like seeing one's creditor, which can trigger panic.

Seeing this, Ivan couldn't help but grin and say, "What an unexpected bonus! Next time, I'll see how I kill you, you old bastard."

As his memories unfolded, Evan also discovered that their partners were quite complex.

In subsequent experiments, when optimizing the buffer potion, they received assistance from a research institute called the Institute of Excellence.

In the process of developing the fog encephalopathy, they also received assistance from a mysterious organization called the Hand of the Father.

Ultimately, the reason they were able to carve out a middle area in that underground region as their base was...

During this process, they also received help from a group called the Holy Spirit Black Goat Organization.

Since these organizations didn't go too deep and only provided some assistance, Ivan didn't even see what the other party looked like.

I only heard Pru mention it briefly.

Finally, after the buffer potion was fully optimized, Pru made an attempt.

After drinking the buffer potion, Pru felt his body enveloped by a special power.

Then its own capacity seems to have been greatly increased.

Later, in an experiment, Pru received six times the divine power he usually received from the Ghoul King.

This greatly excited and thrilled Pru.

He then decided to keep it a secret from everyone and secretly further develop the potential of this buffering potion.

"Since this potion can even buffer divine power, can it also buffer other things?"

Pru then concocted several more conventional potions.
