The old man took out an ornament from the pocket of his worn out, greasy and dirty ranger's uniform and placed it in Constance's hand

"What is this?"

Konstanz held it up and looked closely,

A transparent sphere, only the size of the belly of the thumb,

It seems to be made of crystal, heavy, and it has a lot of weight in your hand.

It was encapsulated with a viscous red liquid, like blood, that would flow slowly when it was shaken.

Konstanz stared at the gift and could only guess:

"Looks like ...... The blood of some kind of creature. ”

"Wrong,

It is not formed, but is 100% artificial, containing thousands of substances from several galaxies. ”

"Oops!" Konstanz's hand slipped, barely holding it firm.

Fortunately, he held it firmly with his other palm and exclaimed: "Na...... I'm sorry, I'm so clumsy, I can't do anything......"

"Heart, young man, I've worked all my life to get this little bit, don't break the shell, once it comes into contact with the air, it will quickly rot and fail."

"This is the weapon you gave me to fight the Devourer?" Konstanz asked.

"Exactly."

The old man's eyebrows were raised, looking very proud, and his expression was almost like that of a child showing his parents an A+ report card.

"What you are holding in your hand is the secret weapon that the Saint Ke people have not yet completed, I, a disembodied soul, have traveled everywhere to collect materials, completely relied on the ability of the mind to operate the test bench, and it has been developed after a lot of hard work, but it is the work of my life."

Knowing the preciousness of the object in his hand, Constance held it in the palm of his hand even more with great affection, and asked with respect: "Since it is a powerful weapon, it must have a terrible name." ”

The old man shook his head: "No, this thing was originally just an unfinished research project, and its code name was Biological Weapon A

- Worden's Blood,

It is used to commemorate the great heroes of the biography of St. Kéte. ”

"What's the effect, will it explode if you throw it?" Konstanz quipped.

"It's not that simple, this is a tonic tailored for the powerful warrior race, if you know a little about biology, you must know that living things can only exert 30% of their physical abilities."

Constance nodded: "I know, this is due to the body's protective mechanism, and it is quite necessary to limit it in order to prevent the body from being torn apart by exerting too much force." ”

"Yes, most creatures have this trait, and scientists at St. Crao have found that if the flesh is strong enough to withstand more damage, it can gain well over 30% of the body's energy by unlocking the protection mechanism.

In the words you can understand, Worden's Blood is the highest level of athlete doping, and drinking it unlocks over 65% of your physical abilities, and the stronger the invoker's own abilities, the more effective the drug will be.

Not only the strength of the muscles, but also the brain, telepathy and mind control will be greatly improved.

Using the speed of your human body circulation and the unit of time as a standard,

It takes effect within a few seconds of drinking, and over the next quarter of an hour, the potency gradually increases, peaking and then rapidly declining. ”

Constance sensed that something was wrong with the way the old man looked at him, so he asked alarmedly:

"And at what cost?"

"Good question,

The more gorgeous and bright the flowers, the shorter the flowering period,

Overdrawing the body in a short period of time can cause irreversible damage, and the scientist of St. Crault called the effect of 'Worden's blood' 'borrowing life'.

However, the power of this potion does not stop there, and it is not too powerful to exert the potential of the body, and it is a miracle to surpass the limit.

According to initial testing, if a potion, which is the amount of the ball I gave you, was completely consumed, it would cause the subject to enter a state of mad bloodlust 'overload'.

In this state, the subject will burn out his life within a quarter of an hour, and the peak value of the meter can even reach a staggering 1500% physical performance!

Even the weakest vegetarian animal, after drinking too much of the potion, can kill an entire cage of beasts in an instant, so this item is regarded as the ultimate weapon by the Saint Ke people.

And the outcome of such experimental subjects, without exception-

All dead. ”

(Survive a few days weakly, or die a vigorous fight......

Just like the principle of equivalent exchange mentioned in ancient alchemical writings, if you want to gain great power, you must pay a corresponding price. ）

Thinking about it, Konstanz suddenly felt that the things in his hands were a little hot.

"Your gift to me is a double-edged sword, why not other advanced weapons, but this cruel thing, I don't think this kind of thing can help us win a war."

"With my current state of soul, the only thing I can develop is this kind of biological weapon, so you don't have to be afraid of your opponents.

Now, the Devourer has suffered a heavy blow, but the end of the crossbow is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to annihilate it and allow it to recuperate, and it will surely plague more civilized worlds in the future.

As long as the power of Worden's blood is properly harnessed and the right people drink it, there is a considerable chance of defeating the Devourer's lifeform, the otherworldly god worshipped by the Voodoo Cult.

In the long years of evolution,

The Devourers have grown from loose to tight, similar to the swarms of your world, which is their strength, but also their greatest disadvantage.

The advantage is that all individuals can be absolutely loyal to the life source body, can go to the fire for any order, and do not hesitate to dedicate themselves, and the execution can be called perfect.

Moreover, it can be bred in batches, and the source body can hatch different forms of species according to its own needs, including warlocks with super mental power, varieties similar to craftsmen, and warriors with strong flesh.

The disadvantage is that they have lost the ability to think for themselves, and their IQ is getting lower and lower, and once they encounter setbacks, they will decay and degenerate rapidly, which is why today's devourers can only fight in a very primitive way.

The invaders you are facing are just a staggered old man who is still vicious.

Once the life source is killed, the remaining low-IQ individuals will lose their orientation and die in large numbers until they become extinct.

Back then, the Saint Ke people saw through this and attacked the Devourer's lair with their troops, seriously injuring their life source bodies, and almost destroying the plague god that was ravaging the sea of stars. ”

"I see, capture the thief and capture the king first." Konstanz looked very uneasy, and his words became slurred:"

To pick the strongest warriors, attack the enemy's core, and kill the Devourer's life source body, the conditions are too harsh......

It didn't feel like a full-fledged plan, but a gamble you couldn't afford to lose, and it was even more dangerous. ”
