Chapter 561: Assimilating Bloodline (2/2)
He definitely did not have time to fly back to watch the Paragons battle.
Meanwhile, the elven warriors were utterly shocked by Leon's display of brute strength. One of them even dropped the blacksmith they were carrying back onto the Great Wall.
Thud!
”Ahh, f*ck! Be careful, please!” The blacksmith cried after hitting the hard metallic floor.
The elven warrior was immediately embarrassed before he apologized, ”Sorry about that, Sir Blacksmith. The Savior's physical strength was simply so astonishing, it left me dumbfounded.”
Several nearby elven warriors also expressed similar thoughts.
The other blacksmiths were intrigued after listening. However, the elven warrior shortly took them away to get treated by the Elder Tree after they insisted.
They simply could not stand the mixture of pain and itchiness.
After they were gone, only Duna remained behind on the Great Wall as she continued to sit on the edge and quietly observed Leon.
”Interesting… his strength has grown by leaps and bounds within such a short time since we last met…” Duna narrowed her eyes thoughtfully, ”It definitely has something to do with his pseudo-Grandmist Energy. How is he procuring them?”
Although they were not True Grandmist Energy, the source of Divinities, pseudo-Grandmist Energy, was still far more effective than any other available energy source in building her corporeal body.
”I need to get stronger… for mine and Lumi's sake.” Duna lifted her head and shifted her gaze to the sun with narrowed eyes, ”The world is running out of time.”

Meanwhile, Leon drained the blood from his tenth Three-Legged Golden Crow before adding the carcass to his collection on the vast rift's frozen side.
At that moment, the water pool had already become a viscious pool of golden blood, and Duke Ignis's consciousness was recovered.
After realizing Leon's efforts and receiving the original version of the [Divine Fiery God Manual] via transmission, Duke Ignis nodded gratefully before focusing wholeheartedly on practicing the technique.
Fiery Energy gathered into his body with quickened pace, searing his insides with their high heat.
However, the pain was nothing compared to the Paragon-level Three-Legged Golden Crow's flames that scorched his body black.
He endured the painful tempering and allowed the Fiery Energy to refine, reforged, and transformed his body while traces of the Three-Legged Golden Crow's bloodline was also absorbed into his body.
”Hm?” Leon noticed the small detail.
”Father-in-law managed to absorb the Golden Crow's bloodline for himself? Would this affect the practice of the [Divine Fiery God Manual] in any way?” Leon quietly mused before he sensed Duke Ignis's surging vitality.
Shortly after, the surface of Duke Ignis's blackened skin cracked apart.
His body shed off its scorched flesh and revealed a layer of new skin underneath that glowed with a crimson tint due to the exuberant boiling blood within Duke Ignis's body.
”Haaaa!”
With a sudden howl, Duke Ignis made a breakthrough in his technique as his body surged with golden flames!
