Chapter 51 (2/2)
One could see with the naked eye that something was moving underneath their skin. Almost as if an army of tiny creatures had invaded their entire bodies. Thanks to the serum they drank from their tooth, their sense of pain had lessened greatly so this sensation was only at a level of discomfort.
Very quickly, the bodies of these soldiers grew one size larger, the muscles on their bodies became inflated and started to give off a golden glow. The blood-red flames on their knight swords also seemed to have sensed this and began to coil around them, turning the soldiers into golden juggernauts burning with red flames.
〖 So they can be combined as well 〗Negary could sense the germs inside their bodies quickly dying in droves. Obviously, after taking in that golden liquid, their bodies’ immune systems had become considerably stronger, and the limited number of germs that infected them so far obviously couldn’t fight back.
〖 It seems the thing Eldridge obtained was quite impressive 〗
It wasn’t as though there aren’t any obviously supernatural items in this low-magic world, but they are all extremely rare, either strictly kept within a closed circle, or only a little bit of it remained.
From what was seen from the Royas soldiers so far, this supernatural power that came from consuming different kinds of serums had been thoroughly grasped and researched. Not only was the usage streamlined, but it could also be mass-produced to an extent. To be able to mass-produce supernatural serums in a low-magic world, he obviously must have obtained something quite great.
〖 Naturally, this type of supernatural power must have quite the strict usage time and severe side effects 〗Negary analyzed what he saw: 〖 Otherwise, these people wouldn’t need to wait until now to start using them 〗
〖 Furthermore, there is a bit of something similar to Dragon’s blood inside these serums. It seems to be an incomplete will 〗Negary observed these Royas soldiers and noticed that ever since they used the golden serum, their mental state had been constantly shifting back and forth.
〖 I see, they did not use the stimulant serum to escape from my [Words of Domination], or at least not purposefully. Their main goal was to not be affected by the will inside the golden serum after using it 〗
〖 Could it be, the main ingredient for these serums was a type of supernatural creature? 〗Negary had this speculation as he controlled the bones around to hover and shoot towards the soldiers again.
This telekinesis-like ability was naturally the interference force of Negary’s soul, but it wasn’t as though it actually grew this strong. The main reason why he could utilize this level of strength was that these bones were completely filled with his germs, by using his interference force on the germs that he controlled, the power he could exert through these germs was incredibly massive.
However, this time, when faced with these bone projectiles, the Royas soldiers didn’t try to avoid them. After the blood-red flames coiled around these golden juggernauts, their properties had somehow changed. As the bone projectiles got close, they began to melt and were already turned into a white goop by the time they reached the soldiers’ bodies, the goop was then melted into white mist and disappeared.
The five human-shaped flames then charged at Negary with great momentum that made it seem like they couldn’t be stopped.
〖 Finally, you at least seem like you’re worth the effort 〗Negary finally stood up from his throne and faced the five approaching Royas soldiers with a bit of anticipation in his mind. Ever since the Crowmen were formed, Reya’s enemies had always been dealt with by the Crowmen. Even if someone managed to break through the Crowmen’s encirclement and sneak into the forbidden zone, they were still so weak that he could easily wipe them out. Now that Negary thought about it, it should be a bit over 3 years since the last time he properly took actions.
The Crowmen were gradually unable to keep up with him, so this time, he actually got a chance to fight, and the enemy seemed decent enough for him to use a bit of his true power.
Glancing at the approaching Royas soldiers, Negary clenched his fist tightly and joyfully chuckled.
