Setting aside the three unfortunate individuals caught by their superior, let’s shift our attention back to the Demon King lady who has arrived at the training grounds.
Using attribute-less magic to extract two drops of liquid from two cups filled with solution, Leticia intended to demonstrate to Bai Ling how these two seemingly harmless drops would react upon contact.
“Watch closely. Based on my estimation, the phenomenon shouldn’t be too drastic,” the Demon King lady manipulated the two drops of liquid, carefully merging them.
The moment they fused, the two drops began an energy conflict that lasted for about a second. Afterward, a small explosion erupted, and a powerful surge of energy impacted the magic barrier Leticia had preemptively cast, causing the colorful barrier to flicker.
Although this barrier was casually cast by Leticia, the fact that the contact of just two drops of liquid could cause such an effect was quite excessive.
“Are you planning to use the explosion generated by their contact to trigger the explosion of that divine blood?” Looking at the blue and red fireworks confined within a small area, Miss Bai gradually understood Leticia’s idea. However, she had a different opinion about it: “Is the power of this explosion really enough?”
It wasn’t that Miss Bai had overly high expectations; it was that the explosion’s power resulting from the contact of these two liquids was truly insignificant, even less than the small fireball Leticia had nonchalantly tossed. With such little power, it was unlikely to detonate the golden liquid, right?
Leticia had messed with the divine blood quite a bit during her experiments a few days prior. The Demon King lady had tested almost every material she could find against the divine blood, and the results were disappointing; only Miss Bai’s and Leticia’s own blood could react with the divine blood.
Miss Bai’s blood would conflict with the divine blood, while Leticia’s blood would instantly explode upon contact with the divine blood.
The latter’s power was terrifyingly potent, capable of creating a crater about a hundred meters in diameter on the ground. Such power would be a dimensional reduction attack in the context of Ogre combat.
Furthermore, the destructive power of this explosion was not just physical. After careful observation, Leticia discovered a powerful mental shockwave hidden within the blast. The range of this mental shockwave was far greater than the blast itself.
The closer one was to the explosion’s center, the greater the mental impact. For Ogres, who had almost no resistance to mental attacks, it was hard to say whether they would be blown to death or have their souls shattered by the mental shockwave at close range.
Even from a distance from the explosion’s center, the mental shockwave could still make Ogres feel dizzy, and experiencing bleeding from all seven orifices after a few encounters was a real possibility.
“I have to try, don’t I? I can’t keep using my blood as the detonator forever,” Leticia didn’t have high hopes for this, she just wanted to give it a try. It was better to fail than to stand still; at least failure would tell her that this path was not viable.
To succeed, failure is inevitable. People who fear failure cannot achieve success.
“Besides, I don’t actually want the explosion of these two liquids to trigger the divine blood’s explosion. What I want to utilize is a byproduct of the explosion.” As the fireworks gradually dimmed, Leticia released her hands and conveyed her thoughts to Miss Bai: “The energy turbulence generated by the collision of two magic powers with opposite attributes might destabilize that golden liquid.”
Under normal circumstances, this golden liquid was extremely stable. Leticia had tried various methods, but this divine blood showed no reaction whatsoever, whether it was intense heat or extreme cold. The thing was as unmoving as a turtle.
After much thought, Leticia could only think of trying to use energy turbulence.
Yes, she had thought of this method before, but she had temporarily shelved the experiment due to a lack of materials. It was definitely not that she hadn’t thought of it!
“Leticia, are these divine bloods enough?” After waiting for about ten minutes in the training grounds, Ling Long finally arrived, pushing a small cart with Silver Fang.
There were two small wooden boxes on the cart, each containing ten divine bloods. In her previous transaction with the Goblin merchant, Ling Long had generously purchased a hundred divine bloods, which amounted to ten wooden boxes.
Leticia took one box for her experiment, and all ten divine bloods in it had been wasted.
Now, Ling Long brought two boxes, a total of twenty divine bloods, seemingly intending to let Leticia have her fill.
“Enough, enough, it’s absolutely enough. In fact, you only needed to bring two or three. We definitely won’t use this much,” Leticia hadn’t expected Ling Long to bring so much divine blood at once. She quickly instructed the Silver Fang pushing the cart to move these two boxes of divine blood to the edge of the training grounds, lest these liquid golds be accidentally damaged during the upcoming experiment.
She pulled out a vial of divine blood from the box, carefully extracted a drop of divine blood, and handed the remaining vial to Silver Fang, asking the dog-eared girl to keep it safe.
Then, she returned to the center of the training grounds and scooped out two large drops of liquid from the two cups of magical liquids.
Using magic to fix the three drops of liquids, which looked completely different, in mid-air, Leticia turned around with a smile and asked the three curious spectators: “What do you think will happen later?”
“I don’t know,” Ling Long honestly stated that she couldn’t guess what would happen.
“It should go ‘BOMM’ and explode, right?” Silver Fang had witnessed Leticia’s experiments before and instinctively assumed that this time would be the same as before.
Miss Bai, however, was the most unconventional. After thinking for a while, she finally gave a rather unenthusiastic answer: “I don’t think much will happen, right?”
Compared to the divine blood, these red and blue liquids had nothing special about them. The minor explosion’s power didn’t seem like it could provoke a reaction from the divine blood.
Wow, this white-haired girl really can’t read the mood. Shouldn’t she be cheering me on at this moment? Leticia gave Bai Ling an indignant look and lost the desire to ask further, “Hmph, then watch closely. I feel like this time it will definitely explode.”
Anyway, the red and blue liquids were definitely going to explode, so she wasn’t wrong. As for the golden liquid, after all, it was divine blood, and it was normal for it to have its own ideas.
Under the gaze of four pairs of eyes, the red and blue liquids fused first. Just before the violent explosion was about to occur, Leticia precisely shot the divine blood into the fused liquid ball.
The two-colored liquids, on the verge of exploding, became strangely silent after the golden liquid entered. To the puzzled gazes of the girls, the colors on the two-colored liquids gradually faded, eventually turning into transparent liquids indistinguishable from plain water.
However, in Leticia’s eyes, she saw much more.
It seemed that the magic in the two-colored solutions was absorbed by the golden solution, and these two streams of energy had now met inside the golden liquid.
If nothing unexpected happened, this time it was likely to result in a ultimate explosion.
The divine blood began to tremble continuously, and the red and blue light within could no longer be concealed. Leticia instinctively threw the drop of golden liquid forcefully into the sky. At the same time, she turned to the three ladies beside her and opened her hands.
A layer of colorful barrier instantly appeared, protecting them.
The golden liquid, thrown into the sky by Leticia, could finally no longer suppress the conflict of the two magics within. Perhaps it had originally intended to absorb the energy from the two-colored liquids, but now the absorbed magic had become its death knell.
Magic powers with completely opposite attributes collided and annihilated within the divine blood. If it were just these energy turbulences, perhaps the divine blood could still stabilize itself, but after these magics annihilated, they left behind one more thing, which became the fuse for the divine blood’s collapse.
It was a wisp of colorful light.
The moment the colorful light appeared, it was attacked by the energy within the divine blood. However, this colorful light was not afraid at all. It directly detonated itself, and with a subtle mental shockwave, the divine blood’s already extremely chaotic internal energy system completely lost control.
The barely suppressed conflict between the two magics erupted completely, dragging the divine blood’s original energy into it. Now, this drop of divine blood was truly finished.
BOOM!!!
A brilliant golden firework exploded in mid-air, blindingly dazzling even in the daytime. The Ogres working in the Bone Wing tribe all looked up at the firework, their faces showing a mixture of curiosity and confusion.
What are they doing?
Are two warriors competing, or is the Divine Maiden doing something?
It wasn’t that these Ogres lacked vigilance, but rather that the explosion occurred in the training grounds, where any significant commotion was not surprising. When the two warriors fought with all their might previously, the commotion was far greater than this.
Therefore, the Ogres of the Bone Wing tribe were already accustomed to it. At most, they would sigh at the magnitude of the commotion.
After sighing, they lowered their heads and resumed their work. The warriors on the front lines were still fighting covered in blood, and they, who were in logistics, couldn’t afford to fall behind.
Soon, the warriors remaining in the Bone Wing tribe provided accurate information. They ran through the entire tribe shouting, telling everyone not to panic, as the Divine Maiden was experimenting with new weapons.
Hearing this explanation, everyone was even more relieved. So, the Divine Maiden was conducting an experiment. Thus, there was no need to worry, and they could continue with their respective tasks.
As a result, the subsequent large and small fireworks, numbering nearly ten, that bloomed in the sky did not cause even the slightest emotional fluctuation among the Ogres of the Bone Wing tribe. What’s the big deal about some fireworks?
Meanwhile, on the training grounds, Leticia had become utterly addicted. With the quickly diminishing two-colored liquids in one hand and a large vial of divine blood in the other, she intended to perform a true artistic performance with the remaining materials.
It was Miss Bai who timely intervened and stopped the rampaging Demon King lady, making her temporarily halt, “Calm down, the power of so much divine blood exploding is too great!”
“That’s true, then let’s forget about it. Anyway, the data collection is almost complete,” Leticia, who had gradually calmed down, put the items in her hands back to their original places. The nearly ten explosions of various sizes had allowed her to roughly understand the destructive power of the divine blood.
For the Ogres, who were still in the age of cold weapons, this should be the true use of divine blood: one vial of divine blood could flatten an area of a hundred meters in radius. Aside from the ease of friendly fire, there were no other drawbacks.
Oh, there was one more drawback: the initiator could only be produced by Leticia. However, at present, this drawback was not a drawback. As long as there were enough raw materials, Leticia could make as much of this initiator as she wanted.
And the raw materials… there were truly vast amounts of them, enough that they wouldn’t run out anytime soon.
The two plants used to configure the solution were common plants in the Ogre territory. They were previously overlooked because no one had noticed their good compatibility with magic.
Since the Ogres didn’t use magic at all, who would have discovered this characteristic of these plants?
“To detonate one vial of divine blood, the amount of initiator needed is roughly this much,” Leticia gestured with her hand, representing the data obtained from the experiment. If the amount of initiator was insufficient, the magic with different attributes would be absorbed by the divine blood.
After absorbing the magic, the divine blood would become much brighter and simultaneously release continuous mental interference externally. This interference would manifest as a feeling of heat in nearby creatures and intermittent noises resembling bird chirping in their ears. Depending on the amount of magic absorbed, this interference would last for a period, and eventually, the divine blood would return to its original state.
However, once too much magic was absorbed, the divine blood would be unable to suppress the rampant magic within, eventually turning into a beautiful yet dangerous firework in a violent explosion.
“Speaking of which, I just discovered that this thing eats my magic, and its appetite is quite good,” Leticia held a vial of divine blood in her hand, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. She had truly not realized this matter before.
The maximum capacity of magic that one vial of divine blood could absorb was roughly equivalent to Leticia casting a mid-level spell. This amount of magic was not considered large.
After being “fed,” the activated state of the divine blood would last for about an hour. During this period, it would not absorb any further magic.
“It probably can’t distinguish between single-attribute magic and complementary attribute magic. That’s why it explodes after absorbing oppositely attributed magic,” Blood was just blood, after all, and its intelligence was quite low.
However, it was precisely because of this low intelligence that Leticia found a way to utilize this divine blood.
“A single drop of divine blood can kill a divine blood warrior. One vial of divine blood, however, can directly evaporate all Ogres within a hundred-meter radius and cause varying degrees of damage to Ogres within five hundred meters. This power is much greater than drinking it directly.”
No matter how powerful a divine blood warrior was, they couldn’t inflict such terrifying damage at once.
Looking at the vials of divine blood placed in the boxes, a hint of fervor flashed in Ling Long’s eyes. She suddenly felt that the divine blood she held seemed a little inadequate.
