. . .

The 10 ml test tube with the purplish-red blood looked bewitching under the sunlight .

The remarks about the vial made Kieran ponder the matter .



A failed authentication would result in a worse state, but this was not a problem for him . His attributes were high enough for him to be immune to all debuffs .

[Mutated Raging Blood III] might not even be useful to him, but its existence gave Kieran another ace he could hide up his sleeve . . .

Kieran added the vial of blood to his arsenal, right beside [Devil Transformation] and [Desire Summoning], which were both his go-to weapons .

If it was not for the 30-second Weakening Effect, this would automatically have been Kieran’s weapon of choice during a battle . However, this was not the reason Kieran was thinking about it .

He was staring at the remarks on the blood, thinking silently, "It's already the third generation?"

Rosland had not revealed much about alchemy transformation . He had just told him that he would see with his own eyes .

Kieran knew what had happened in Tally’s office . There had been mentions of the Blood Moon War in Nikorei’s books, but he knew nothing about the government’s experiments with alchemy and human transformation .

The remarks on the blood made Kieran connect more things .

"This was planned beforehand!" he commented .

Why would the government be interested in alchemy and human transformation?

The transformed subjects possessed formidable strength . That was the only reason the government had had the subjects bound to them .

Kieran recalled the ring on Tally’s hand . The ring had been modified . Its unmodified version would have granted absolute control over the transformed subjects .



Compared to the mystics, who were wild and had their own traditions and secret rules, thus posing a potential threat to commoners, the transformed subjects were exactly what the high-ranking officers and political figures needed .

The practice of alchemy and human transformation needed to be kept a secret though . A lot of time and money had been spent on the project . According to Kieran’s understanding, Marco had been a third-generation alchemy-transformed subject, but his form had not been the final one .

The masterminds behind this had been anxious about their little project .

Nikorei and the five major societies’ disappearance had been a great opportunity for them to turn the tide in their favor . That was why they had sent Marco out, or rather some transformed subject with Marco’s face .

"Those transformed subjects must be quite a lot… At least 100, if they were to pose such a significant threat!" Kieran guessed silently .


The speculation made him shiver . A hundred alchemy-transformed subjects were not just a number . This was technology maturing at exponential speed, which would only mean more sacrifices .

"Those people managed to shift the government in their favor under the fierce gaze of the mystical realm . Even though the Blood Moon War weakened the West Coast mystical forces, their power is still not to be underestimated!"

Kieran took a deep breath . Before the Blood Moon War, the mystics had reigned even higher than the king . Every single mystic out there had been feared and respected .

No society leader had ever lost to a noble . Some had even been from noble families .

If it hadn’t been for the Blood Moon War, from what Kieran had read, the mystics would soon have overthrown the king and replaced him, becoming the true lords of the West Coast .

In fact, such an event really had occurred, but it had been further back in history .

Kieran had no more spare energy and attention to go through the thick books .

He focused on "Paths of Stars and Destiny" again while he was in the car .

By the time Schmidt stopped the car, he had finished the book . As he had expected, a long-awaited notification popped up .

[Astrology experience increased through reading…]

[Astrology experience has reached the maximum for its current level…]

[Level up!]

[Mastered Skill: Astrology (Basic)]

[Name: Astrology (Basic)]

[Related Attributes: None]

[Type: Ancillary]

[Effects: You have started to understand the stars . ]

[Consumes: Nothing]

[Prerequisites: None]

[Remarks: You can easily recognize constellations in the sky, but don’t expect that seeing the stars and their paths will determine a person’s destiny . You still have a long way to go!]

[Notes: You have acquired this skill through learning, not through a Skill Book . Therefore, you cannot upgrade it with Points and Skill Points . If you want to level it up, you will need to continue learning or acquire a Skill Book!]

. . .

A mixture of knowledge was transferred into Kieran’s mind as those notifications appeared .

Kieran closed his eyes slightly, helping his body cope with the synchronization process . He knew it was going to happen after all .

The whole process felt like it took several seconds, but from someone else’s point of view, it was just a flash .

By the time Kieran got out of the car, Schmidt was ringing the doorbell of 1st Black Street .

"Huh?"

The moment Kieran stepped out of the car, he picked up the smell of blood . This was not unexpected, considering that he had left Louver behind . What surprised him was that someone had been spying on them on their way back there . It was not some common John Doe either!

"Still haven’t given up, huh?"

Kieran smiled coldly .

The next moment, he vanished on the spot .
