Wizard: This witcher is neglecting his duties.

Chapter 139 Unsealing of the Ancient Blood

"Oh, what a waste."

Looking at the stag-headed demon whose entire body was burned to a crisp, Wayne sighed. The stag-headed demon was an extremely rare monster, and the materials inside its body were even rarer.

With a "what the heck" mentality, Wayne drew the meteorite dagger from his waist and plunged it into the chest of the stag-headed demon, which was shrouded in darkness.

This monster is a remnant, not a creature like a troll, a demon, or a water ghost. Therefore, its chest does not contain any organs, but rather some inexplicable impurities and lumps, as well as some sticky bodily fluids.

Wayne searched inside for a long time and pulled out something that looked like gray vines wrapped around a heart. According to the records in the Witcher's books, this thing was called the Heart of the Forest. It was of little use to Witchers, but if you sold it to a warlock, it could be used as a material to make magical items.

However, even after taking out the Heart of the Forest, Wayne did not give up, because powerful monsters like the Leshen usually contain unique mutation inducers in their bodies, which are the materials for making special decoctions. Unless there are special circumstances, they are not usually lacking.

Sure enough, after digging for a long time, almost emptying the deer-headed spirit's chest, he finally pulled out a blue fleshy ball with a surface that looked like the thalamus of the brain. Judging by its size, it should be a large blue mutation.

Wayne was delighted. This thing was very valuable, and it would be a good choice whether to use it to make decoctions, conduct mutation experiments, or sell it to warlocks.

Although he had already used dozens of alchemical bombs today, as long as he got this thing, he would have already broken even.

Just as he was thinking, a figure, unsteady on his feet and soaking wet, rushed in from the rocky area, calling out Wayne's name.

She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wayne, completely unharmed, crouching peacefully on a huge, charred corpse.

Before he could even speak, he found a rock nearby and sat down, panting heavily. Clearly, he had expended a lot of energy trying to get there as quickly as possible.

Wayne turned to look at the person, who was Triss, whose hair was soaked by the rain and disheveled.

Seeing the sorceress in such a disheveled state, he felt a slight warmth in his heart. At least Triss hadn't run away like a coward after being injured. Not only had she escorted the children out of danger, but she had also willingly risked her life to rush back here as quickly as possible.

Not to mention pampered sorceresses, even many men cannot do this.

He casually pulled an empty potion bottle from his pouch, filled it with the stag-headed spirit's blue mutation inducer, and strode over to Triss's side, asking:

"How are your injuries, Triss?"

"Don't worry, I've already taken care of the deer-headed demon. There's no danger here for now."

Upon hearing this, Triss's tense expression relaxed slightly, and she let out a long breath. Just as she was rubbing her chest with her right hand, she suddenly cried out in pain.

Upon seeing this, Wayne looked towards her chest and saw that on the sorceress's two fair and delicate breasts, there was a bruise that was clearly caused by vines pulling out her breasts. Even the clothes on her chest were torn by the vines, revealing the beautiful scenery underneath.

Perhaps if it weren't for the large, white fat pads here, Triss might have suffered even more serious injuries.

Wayne thought this in his mind, but his body didn't hesitate at all. He swept Triss into a princess carry and said:

"You're hurt, Triss. Let me hold you; it'll make things easier for you."

"By the way, after I destroyed the Deer-Headed Spirit's giant totem, a strange sight appeared inside, like a spatial rift. It seems you'll need to reseal it."

When Wayne suddenly picked her up in a princess carry, Triss's face flushed slightly, but she didn't refuse. She pressed her chest against his chest, smoothed her wet red hair with her hands, and tried her best to maintain her beautiful appearance.

Upon hearing Wayne mention the spatial rift, her expression immediately turned serious, and she said:

"Really? Take me to see it quickly."

"Some spatial rifts are still very dangerous. They not only attract terrifying monsters from other worlds, but also transmit alien energy from other worlds, polluting the surrounding environment."

Without hesitation, Wayne carried Triss to the vicinity of the spatial rift. The sorceress immediately closed her eyes and began to sense it through her mental power.

After a few minutes, Triss breathed a slight sigh of relief, looked up at Wayne, and said:

"The situation is alright. The other side of this spatial rift shouldn't be a dangerous world, and I haven't sensed any negative energy."

"However, after we both go back and rest, treat our wounds, and prepare the materials for the magic ritual, I will come back to seal this spatial rift."

Wayne nodded, pretending to know nothing about the culprit, as if it were a spatial rift.

In the world of Witcher, due to the convergence of celestial bodies, spatial rifts, while not numbering in the thousands, are not uncommon. This is one of the reasons why all sorts of otherworldly items and bizarre monsters always appear in this world.

Warlocks have extensive experience in sealing such rifts, which is one of their primary responsibilities as spellcasters to maintain world peace.

Seeing that a solution had been found for the spatial rift, Wayne stopped delaying and, holding Triss, said:

"Well, since there's no danger here for now, let's head back to the city."

"The blow that sent you flying might have damaged your internal organs, so you'd better be careful."

………………

An hour later, the two returned to Triss's family mansion.

Since his body wasn't injured, but he was soaking wet, covered in mud and sweat, which was very uncomfortable against his skin, Wayne decided to take a hot shower.

Fortunately, as a noble family, hot water was always available 24 hours a day. Moreover, the Meligard family also had a special bath for guests.

Wayne didn't stand on ceremony. After saying a few words to the steward, he had the entire bathroom to himself.

Once he was lying in the warm water, the first thing on his mind was to check the unsealing procedures for the Ancient Blood.

Ding! The conditions for unlocking the Ancient Blood have been met. Unlock now?

Ding! The unsealing of the Ancient Blood is divided into three stages: initial unsealing, advanced unsealing, and complete unsealing. These three stages must be completed one by one in order.

Ding! After the initial unsealing of the Ancient Blood, the host will gain three abilities.

Ability 1, Blink: By consuming the host's stamina and magic, it can break through spatial barriers and perform short-distance spatial jumps. Distance limit: 300 meters. Cooldown time: 5 seconds.

Ability Two, Awakening of Magic Source (Beginner): As a possessor of ancient blood and a natural source mage, your body will become a medium for chaotic magic, possessing extremely powerful magical potential. You will no longer be affected by the magic-blocking metal and will have a higher level of magical affinity. Effects: Maximum magic power +30, magic strength +15, magical control +10.

Ability 3, Time Travel (Beginner): As the possessor of the ancient blood, you already have the ability to travel through time. However, as a beginner unsealer of the bloodline, the host can currently only travel to the world on the other side of the existing spatial rift through the existing spatial rift. You can also temporarily strengthen the rift into a small spatial channel by using ability points, allowing other creatures to travel back and forth.

After reading the system's explanation of the Ancient Blood, Wayne felt both delighted and somewhat frustrated.

The good news is that the three abilities unlocked by the Ancient Blood are all extremely powerful, which is a great boost to his skills as a Witcher, making his goal of becoming the strongest Witcher just around the corner.

The frustrating thing is that ten ability points only completed the initial unsealing of the Ancient Blood. To fully master the abilities of the Ancient Blood, it will definitely require more ability points and more preparation time.
