Kill the Sun - Chapter 245

Chapter 245 Chapter 245 – Blood Horse and Blood Ancestor

Nick walked over to the Containment Unit that was across from the Blood Hawk's Containment Unit.

After fiddling with the console for a bit, Nick jumped through the entrance again.

Nick immediately saw a big figure in the middle of the Containment Unit.

Just like the Blood Hawk, this one was also made of blood and flesh.

Except that this one was a horse without a head.

Nick had never seen or heard of horses before, but the city had dubbed this Specter the Blood Horse, which probably meant that horses existed.

The Blood Horse's tail was made of strings of meat, and its hooves were also made of some kind of hardened meat.

At the place where its neck should be was just nothing.

Its front looked just like its back, minus the fleshy tail.

Nick immediately had to evade to the right as soon as he entered.

BANG!

One of the horse's hooves hit the closed employee entrance with an explosive sound. This material is derived from n0v£lbin•

The Blood Horse was quite a bit faster than the Blood Hawk, but that was to be expected.

After all, this one was a Late Hatchling.

Just like with the Blood Hawk, Nick watched the Blood Horse attack for a couple of minutes.

Its attack pattern was about as complex as the Blood Hawk's attack pattern.

Most of the time, it just tried to kick Nick with its hooves.

Sometimes, it charged at Nick with its front, trying to barrel through him.

Whenever it did that, though, it hit the wall with quite a lot of force and fell to the ground.

It even got injured a bit during the process.

However, there was one time when Nick nearly got hit.

Sometimes, the Blood Horse straightened its weird fleshy tail and tried to cut Nick with it by swinging its ass towards him.

But that was the only surprise.

First, the horse's recovery slowed down tremendously.

Second, Nick felt quite energetic.

Kicking this Specter was fun!

Eventually, Nick left the Containment Unit and looked at the Zephyx that had been produced.

'15 grams,' Nick thought. 'Not bad.'

'I get why so many Manufacturers are buying these Blood Specters. I bet Ghosty's Lab is probably raking in loads of credits with the Blood Ancestors.'

Specters were all unique, and yet, the Blood Specters were so very similar.

Why?

The reason was that they were not Specters that had been created by "nature".

In fact, Blood Specters were Specters that had been created by another Specter, namely the Blood Ancestor.

The Blood Ancestor was the most powerful Specter that Ghosty's Lab owned.

It was a Fanatic, a level five Specter, and the only level five Specter that Ghosty's Lab owned.

The Blood Ancestor was a huge blob of blood, and it could create Blood Specters.

First, the Blood Ancestor gathered Zephyx by killing people.

When it had enough Zephyx, it spat out a Blood Core, which would then turn into a Blood Specter.

Whenever it produced a Blood Core, a huge amount of Prephyx would be absorbed by it, and it would advance a level.

So, for every Blood Specter that was produced, the Blood Ancestor became more powerful.

Even more, the Blood Specters that the Blood Ancestor produced also became more powerful with time.

The Blood Hawk and the Blood Horse had been one of the earliest, which was why they were so weak.

But by now, the Blood Ancestor was already producing Adult Specters.

Naturally, Ghosty's Lab got a shitload of money whenever the Blood Ancestor advanced a level, but they also got another shitload of money by selling the Blood Specters to other Manufacturers.

The Blood Specters were great training dummies, and Manufacturers wanted them.

The Blood Ancestor was probably the most profitable Fanatic in all of Crimson Fungus City.

Luckily, it was already contained.

If it were free...

Things could become very troublesome.
