Birth of the Demonic Sword - Chapter 761

Chapter 761
Noah had seen those creatures vividly in his dreams, but Faith and June had only images that depicted them . Yet, when they faced the actual remains of those beings, they began to feel the same dread that had filled Noah since his breakthrough .

There were clear signs of transformations in the remains of those creatures, and even cultivators that weren't experts in that field could notice them . The bones had strange deformities and branches that didn't follow any logic . It was as if something had gone out of control in the middle of the process .

However, there were both human and beasts' features . Noah could spot a human femur in the middle of bones that belonged to a flying creature . He saw an almost intact human skeleton that had a series of spikes growing from its elbows, knees, and temples .

"What are these aberrations?" Faith asked, even if she knew the answer to that question .

She simply felt like saying something to dispel the moody atmosphere that was filling the area .

No one answered, but Noah took the initiative to open the cells to analyze the remains . He quickly destroyed the metal bars blocking his path since the passage of time had affected their structure greatly .

June and Faith remained outside as Noah analyzed the bones . He swept them with his mental energy, smelled them, and even licked them to understand their features .

Nevertheless, he didn't dare to eat them for fear that they could cause a reaction in his body once ingested . He was simply playing it safe in case the substance that had produced the transformation still lingered inside those remains .



Noah was immediately able to spot the presence of the mutagen inside the bones . Such a feature couldn't escape his senses, especially after he had spent the last decade fighting Elite beasts .

However, there seemed to be something else inside them . It was a sort of silent energy that gave him the feeling of matching the mutagen in some ways .

'In theory, these beings should carry the substance that forces the transformation,' Noah thought, 'Which means that some of them had escaped in the wilderness and mixed with the fauna . '

His mind created simulations of possible environments and food chains as Noah added the data discovered in that place .

'We would have noticed these kinds of hybrids though,' His reasoning continued, 'Which means that they are either extinct or have achieved a complete transformation . '

He still remembered the words heard in his dreams . The voice didn't speak about hybrids but mentioned only humans and beasts . It was as if the humans wanted to pick a side instead of creating something in the middle of those worlds .

The complete transformation would explain why he couldn't notice the foreign memories when he ate the Elite beasts, while he could sense that different energy in the bones . It would mean that those creatures had mixed themselves in the fauna and procreated, covering the true nature of the mutagen in the process .




Noah crushed a small part of the bones under him with his individuality to continue his analysis . White dust fell on the dirty cell as his mental waves broke the skeleton, but there was a release of primary energy too .

Noah didn't absorb that energy, but he simply limited himself to feel it with both his instincts and consciousness . He could sense the presence of two kinds of energies, and one of them was the mutagen of the Elite beasts .

As for the other energy, Noah could only sense that it was ancient, almost primordial . He wouldn't consider it powerful, but it was something that his body labeled as dangerous .

'The ancestors' bloodline . ' Noah concluded in his mind .

That was the only possible conclusion that he could reach according to what he knew of that world . The Elite humans didn't cause that reaction in his body, and the energy radiated a sort of perfection that couldn't possibly belong to the Flawed humans .

There was only one kind left, and that was the bloodline of the ancestors .



The primary energy soon dispersed in the air, but its two kinds didn't manage to fuse until the end . Yet, they were actively trying to become one even as they vanished .

'At least two ingredients . ' Noah thought, 'The mutagen of the Elite beasts and something coming from the ancestors . '

After reaching that conclusion, Noah didn't hesitate to send all his discoveries to the list featuring the researches of the four forces of his world .

Of course, he conveyed only what he was able to justify and labeled as "possible" what he had learnt through his body . Also, he sent mental images of the peculiar skeleton so that every expert could see that such creatures had existed .

It was needless to say that a storm of mental messages reached his inscribed notebook when he sent the picture, but Noah limited himself to repeat his analysis in the other cells . Then, when he had confirmed that all the skeletons carried the same energies and he had added their images to the list, he simply stored everything in his space-ring .

"We will bring the bones when we finish the exploration of the continent . " Faith said as she held her inscribed notebook, "We have almost mapped the entirety of the continent . It's pointless to come back now . "

The leaders had contacted her and June when they saw that Noah wasn't answering, but her reply was in line with the intentions of the group . They had just reached the part of the continent that contained actual rests of the previous civilization . They couldn't go back now after spending more than a decade for that .

Noah started to break the floor of the castle when he was done with his analysis . The terrain under the structure soon appeared in his view, and it had the same lines that he had seen many times in those years .

June and Faith saw what he was doing and followed his example, breaking the floor to reveal the drawing hidden by the castle .

The inscribed lines under that structure were far neater compared to the drawings that they had seen in the past . It seemed that the materials of the castle helped to fend off the effects of the passage of time .

The images uncovered in the process didn't differ too much from the others, but they were clearer and had far more details . The trio could see how there were even colors together with some lines, which gave to the drawings a completely new vibe .

Some of the drawings though focused on the vials, and crowds worshipped them according to those images .

Noah and the others listed the new series of drawings in the specific section inside the special notebook and stored the most intact materials of the castle for future study .

Then, they made sure that there was nothing valuable inside that ruined building before exiting and resuming their exploration .
