Chapter 648
”What exactly is the Elder Blood [1]?
According to some, it is a powerful elven curse that had been passed down for generationsThose whose veins where the infamous Hen Ichaer [2] flow are said to carry death and destruction within thenance and disdain in the hearts of people
Ithlinne [3] had prophesied that an avenger would be born froer would be a destroyer of nations and worlds
Others, however, claimed that the Elder blood was an inherited, extrerant theree which was unattainable even to elven Sages [4]
Unfortunately, only a few bearers of this gift have been able to control its powers in fullThis partial mastery would lead to sudden outbursts that took the form of unpredictable, uncontrollable, deadly explosions
The truth of these tragic cases lay behind the dark legends about the Curse of the Elder Blood
Obviously, the bearers of the Elder Blood were always the center of attention to the world's es alike
The former relied on the truth of Ithlinne's prophecy: They wanted an avenger who could destroy worlds, one they could use for their own purposes
The latter hoped to harness the ical powers
These werethe Elder's Blood that had been recorded in a book called 'Elder Blood' It was a biased, skewed piece of writing
On the other hand, Olivia had just been exposed to the clean, whole truth, courtesy of the system
Avallac'h [5] had created a Gate of the World with the King of the Wild Hunt, Eredin Bréacc Glas [6]By using this gate, their race could travel to any other worldThe Conjunction of the Spheres [7] was actually a phenomenon that happened when these elves opened the Gate of the WorldHowever, as they had accidentally lost the ability to travel betorlds, the Gate of the World was closed foreverTherefore, these elves were forced to stay in the world, never be able to return to their oorldWhen they lost this ability, Eredin and Avallac'h had planned to nurture a beautiful feh the Gate of the WorldTherefore, they had spent a long, long ti' Lara Dorren [8], a female elf that carried with her the powers of the Elder's Blood
Lara Dorren was actually an ancestor of CirillaSuffice to say, Cirilla had inherited her bloodYou could iine how Cirilla would be the focus of Avallac'h and Eredin
To be honest, Olivia was actually quite interested in the 'Gate of the World' She wanted to knohether this Gate was related to the 'Two Dimensional Gate' that she hadNo wonder she was so close to CirillaIt turned out that everyone had a gate
However, Olivia had not yet felt the powers of Cirilla's 'Gate of the World' The only thing she felt was the healing ability of this 'Elder Blood,' which was comparable to the best 'Full Moon' [8] potion out there!
In reality, Olivia did not need to give any vitality regeneration potion for Cirilla to drinkCirilla had a passive regeneration abilityIf Cirilla ever got wounded in the ga in her veins would slowly regenerate her health back to normalInstead, Geralt, as a witcher, needed to use potions, food, and meditation to restore his vitality
However, there was no choiceOlivia did not know about Cirilla's physical conditionShe just felt that even if she died, she would only leave the Source WorldWho knows, she ht even be able to return in another mannerNo matter what, she did not want Cirilla to die
Olivia did not even think of how Cirilla would react if she really diedThen, as prophesied, she would destroy the entire world for her sisterAnyone with sister complexes would react like so - it had been that way since the dawn of time
Cirilla cried tears of joy when she realized how her blood had slowly ithe last strand of straw that saved his life
She resolved to feeding her sister with her own Elder Blood every single dayOlivia discovered that the Elder Blood had even replenished her 'Two Dimensional Gate' ability rapidlyWas the 'Gate of the World' reacting to her gate?
