Chapter 2048 2048. Familiar Smell
The reason Scylla honed in on this was simple, some of the demi-human species had the same sentiments and abilities. There were the royal hive trait demi-humans that shared traits with a species of honey bee monster. There were the bat demi-humans, and even the ant trait demi-humans. They all possessed unique connections to one another.
While some of them had mental connections that allowed speech to one another, others shared emotional bonds. The vampire race had something different.
They had unique affinity for blood and the odd mana associated with it. That was besides the darkness affinities that they had. Therefore, when they had enough of their own blood, they could bring strength to themselves by being with one another. Hence why vampires preferred to be together in general.
Along with that, Gloria was clearly gaining strength from all the vampires that were being helped and healed. That was because they were able to properly gain their mana back and their nutrients back. Their strength was her strength in a way. As their queen. She would be the one to represent them as a race. It was somewhat exactly what genesis was about.
The representatives would stand as the ones to speak for all their people. Each race had one for this reason. Now the vampires had one. The strength of Gloria\'s noble blood allowing her to tap in to more of the innate vampire skills every vampire was born with. Especially to a greater degree.
It was an enlightening moment that Scylla accepted quickly. She also knew that the bettering of Gloria\'s own health would have an effect on the vampire race as a whole. Therefore, she took the lead of this and after speaking a little longer, pushed away Walker and Su. mainly because she wanted to ensure that there was less stress. More talk about life mana could come later.
Scylla also wanted Walker and Su to handle other things. They were two of the major players in this entire battle. They had to share more information with the royal dragons so that everyone was on the same page.
While this all happened, Midnight\'s wanderings brought her past the efforts of Alma and Gil to make these ruins in to a memorial for the vampire race. She held the sentiment and appreciated it. She could also sense when Walker had gotten the news of these things. She felt warmer to become a part of that.
However, the exploration she had in mind was focused on what Walker had mentioned.
He had been able to go to the vault within the main castle of the vampires. He had managed to gain knowledge from many books that he would read and copy so that the vampire race did not lose their history.
While Midnight herself was still missing a great depth of knowledge when it came to the dragon race, she wanted to ensure that no race lost their history. It was where they originated. It was important to who they had developed over more years than anyone could count. It was how mistakes would not happen again.
"So that\'s where you went. Everyone else moved away and went here and there ditching me." Remey looked angry. Naturally, Midnight was surprised that Remey was even here.
Everyone had expected that Remey would stay with the main forces and remain making potions. But for her to head here meant that she might have had similar ideas to Midnight. Or, she had butted heads with someone.
"I go to make more potions, and Ignus stops me. Says that I should keep saving my mana. I should save all my energy and rest. But who else is resting? Just because I used a lot of mana doesn\'t mean that I can\'t use a little more." Remey\'s cheeks puffed out as she clenched her fists.
It was only a moment though, she definitely knew that Ignus had stopped her for safety. Her situation was now delicate. She relied on purer fire mana than what was easily available in the world as a whole. She had to ensure that she was getting enough at all times.
"Explore with me." Midnight had long taken her dragonkin form. She looked at Remey with sharp eyes. Enough focus that Remey felt that she had now ay or ability to say now to Midnight.
"Fine fine fiiinnne. We can explore. But what are we looking for?" Remey was clearly not opposed to exploring a little. She was curious about what herbs or even small remains of alchemy materials might be in this place.
The ruins had been sealed, which meant that the mana and other aspects within these ruins might have developed in unique ways. Herbs might have changed to suit this environment. The materials they found might have taken on new affinities. And the tools that vampires used might have been different due to how their society developed.
"Lost history." The two words made Remey raise her eyebrows. She understood what Midnight was saying. Ignus had lamented multiple times about how the dragons had lost so much time because they did not have access to the dominator dragon knowledge. They had lost a major piece of their own history for far too long.
"Then we should check that really big building. There was one that I saw when I was punching those skeleton things." Remey pointed out toward a large section of collapsed buildings. The battles had made many of the surrounding homes collapse. The stone structures having been eroded by darkness mana and a lot of time.
However, the standing structure, or at least the one with the majority of standing, was a larger one. Larger stones had been cut and carved to ensure that it held a larger roof which was mostly gone now. The pillars of stone were also carved a little more in depth than what the other ruined buildings looked like.
"See? It\'s very intricate. So I bet it was some sort of meeting place or better." Remey was glad that she remembered this. She also found it a little fun that she and Midnight could explore this place a little ahead of others. The threats of monsters were null since they had all disintegrated or perished when the monstrous vampire was defeated.
The only that was the slowly leaving corrupted floating city. But that was an entirely different issue.
Looking at the ruined large structure, Midnight began to pull up a large stone that had blocked what was once an entrance. "Midnight, let me show you something. I bet you could do this with your claws. But, if I focus on the defense breaking palm and add a small amount of fire mana right in to my finger tips…"
Remey struck out hitting the stone with her fingers. The crack and a small pop of fire mana was enough to crack the stone and made it easier to move without issue. "It\'s interesting right? You have sharp claws and can use all the manas. Make this like, explosive claws or piercing claws." Remey smirked when she saw that Midnight was wide eyed and interested.
Naturally, as they moved more stones, Midnight tried to replicate what Remey had done until they had a clear entrance in to the dark. A small ball of fire formed in Remey\'s hand acting as a light. Midnight and her could easily see with their eyes anyways, but the light showed off better details.
That wasn\'t what interested them any more though. Midnight\'s nose picked up an oddly familiar scent. And since Remey was a dragon soul now, she could sense the very same thing that Midnight sensed.
"Dragon?"
"I can feel it too. There shouldn\'t be anyone here though. Thonly Teron or Mordant could have gotten in here without making a mess…" Remey felt that they had found something odd.
"Was this a temple or something?"
That was no sooner said out loud before Midnight started to delve in to the ruined structure even more. The pair finding the broken and barely recognizable statues of vampires and lizard like monsters. A more telling example of what they believed might have some connections to the odd scent of a dragon that they could smell. The potential for a dragon material or dragon to be here.
