The troll leader was dead!
In truth, it had died from its own blood attack.
Since it had used up too much of its lightning energy, it had lost the protection of the Quetzalcoatlus. The bloodline energy that Mary had poured into its body was the key to causing its blood to flow in reverse.
Although the troll race could still survive after losing its heart, the blood that flowed in reverse entered its brain and destroyed two of its core organs. Even with the strength of the troll leader, it still died in an instant.
As for the mysterious will that had 'descended' on the troll leader's body, it didn't even have the chance to display its strength before it silently dissipated due to the sudden death of its host.
In truth, Mary had overestimated the Quetzalcoatlus.
According to the level of power just now, the troll leader hadn't 'descended' at all. It could only be considered a secondary 'projection'. The Quetzalcoatlus had responded to the troll leader's prayers and transferred a portion of its power to the troll leader's body through a channel, allowing it to undergo a power transition.
In terms of power alone, 'descended' would undoubtedly transmit more complete power, and it would even carry a portion of the opponent's consciousness. As for 'projection', it only involved the transmission of power. It didn't have a true consciousness, and it couldn't bestow any special divine abilities.
However, the Feathered Serpent God also seemed to be interested in this duel. His consciousness was also silently observing Mary's every move through the channel of information.
After all, strange creatures like vampires didn't exist in the Heisen Plane!
As such, Mary's blood-sucking attack and blood-sucking regeneration attracted the Quetzalcoatlus' interest.
As for the bit of origin energy it had lost to the troll leader, it didn't care too much.
After winning the battle of honor, Mary had won everything the troll leader had. As such, when she dragged the mangled body of the troll leader and that heavy spear step by step into the forest, the entire troll camp was silent.
All the troll warriors watched silently. They didn't roar, nor did they get angry. Instead, they looked at the petite Mary with a trace of fear and respect.
The troll leader, Kano, could be considered the most powerful troll warrior in the Heisen Plane. If even he couldn't resist that terrifying vampire witch, then who among the remaining troll warriors could defeat the invader?
The battle of honor immediately crumbled the morale and confidence of the troll army.
Night fell.
Before the sky had even brightened, the Troll Legion had silently retreated.
This time, they also took their companions who were infected with the plague with them. This was also the tradition of the Trolls. They would never abandon their companions easily.
To this, Mary naturally welcomed it with open arms!
Those Trolls clearly hadn't suffered enough from the plague. Perhaps they thought that the witch doctors in the Troll Kingdom could get rid of the plague, or perhaps they trusted the Quetzalcoatl too much …
In short, they actually brought a group of Troll Warriors who had been infected with a terrible plague back to the core of their country. This … was exactly what Mary and the others had been hoping for!
Mary sent out a small team of blood thralls to closely follow the troll troop, while she and a group of subordinates hid in the depths of the forest, carefully studying the troll leader's corpse.
With the trolls' rough character and muscular heads, they obviously did not realize that they had not only thrown the troll leader's corpse to Mary, but also traces of the quetzalcoatl's aura in its body.
Such a rare and precious spoil of war had fallen into Mary's hands so easily, which made her feel somewhat incredulous.
She and a group of trusted subordinates immediately found a hidden spot in the depths of the forest and carved out a huge, mysterious spell formation. Then, it took them two days and three nights to slowly extract the blood from the troll leader's body.
If it had been a Magus of another element, the troll leader's corpse would have rotted and smelled bad after two days and three nights. The blood in its body would have long since solidified, and the power and essence within would have been completely drained away.
But today, everyone present was a master of the blood element. Maintaining the activity of the blood and preventing the essence from being drained was as easy as lifting a finger for them.
After extracting the blood, they naturally used the mysterious spell formation to extract the remnants of the quetzalcoatl's power.
When the huge ball of blood above the mysterious spell formation began to shrink bit by bit, a strange fragrance of blood began to spread throughout the forest. All the vampires who inhaled the scent could not help but have bloodshot eyes, saliva dripping from their mouths.
Even the few rank 2 bloodlings that Mary had personally nurtured were the same.
They looked at the ball of blood above the mysterious spell formation as if they were looking at their own lives and future. Their greedy, thirsty, and reckless gazes seemed to be able to melt everything in the world.
They could clearly sense that the ball of blood contained extremely pure blood essence, as well as traces of indescribable, strange energy. Any of the bloodlings present would be able to immediately accumulate enough blood energy to advance to rank 3 if they were to devour this ball of blood.
Of course, as Mary's direct subordinates, they still needed the approval of the Blood Lord before they could advance.
Not to mention the subordinates who lived by blood, even Mary had to use a great deal of spiritual power to suppress the restless vampire instincts deep in her heart when she stared at the blood ball. Only then did she stop herself from pouncing on it and gobbling it up.
However, while this ball of blood could turn any rank 1 or 2 vampire into a rank 3 vampire, it still could not turn Mary from the peak of rank 3 to rank 4. At most, it would increase Mary's blood energy reserves and make it purer, but it would not cause any qualitative changes.
Of course, if the blood in this ball of blood was completely replaced with the blood of the Winged Serpent God, then Mary would be able to advance to the throne of rank 4.
From this, it could be inferred how difficult it was to advance from rank 3 to rank 4!
It had to be known that in most planes, rank 1 and below were considered ordinary creatures, while rank 1 and above were considered extraordinary creatures. However, among extraordinary creatures, rank 4 was an extremely obvious threshold.
Rank 3 could be seen as the limit of extraordinary creatures, and only rank 4 could reach the level of gods.
In the World of Gods, the initial rank to become a god was rank 5. As such, all rank 4 creatures were called demigods. This meant that after advancing to rank 4, half of your body and soul would become a divine creature.
If a demigod in the World of Gods was willing to compromise with the plane's consciousness and contribute a portion of his soul, there was a high chance that he would have an immortal soul.
A demigod with an immortal soul was almost immortal.
Even if they were killed by an enemy, with the passage of time, their soul would gather again under the plane's care and be resurrected through reincarnation.
However, rank 4 Magi in the Magus World did not have such preferential treatment.
However, there were many spells in the witchcraft system that could hide life, escape souls, and substitute puppets to avoid death. However, these spells could only be used on Magi who had been killed by their enemies. Once a Magus' life source was exhausted, no amount of witchcraft would be able to save him.
Hence, when Mary sensed that the strange energy in the ball of blood could play a key role in her advancement, she immediately ordered for it to be extracted at all costs.
Mary and her party stayed in the forest for more than 20 days before completing this mission with great difficulty.
When the vampires set off once more, following the traces left behind by the blood thrall towards the troll kingdom, a light blue crystal the size of a soybean appeared in Mary's hand.
This was a strange energy crystal that had lost all of its blood activity. However, it still had the characteristics of power that blood crystals and magic crystals could not replace. If Grim was here, he would have told Mary that this was a dual-attribute crystal formed from the power of lightning and the power of faith.
The greatest value of this crystal was not the energy within, but the power of the Law of Lightning!
Without the existence of faith, the Law of Lightning would not have been able to materialize, much less solidify in this strange form. If Mary could bring it back to the Magus World, the Elemental Magi that trained in lightning spells would definitely be willing to buy it at the price of a level 4 item.
In the Magus World, the starting price of a level 4 item was more than two or three million magic crystals!
Mary repeatedly fiddled with the power crystal and finally resisted the urge to swallow it in one gulp.
The energy within the crystal was not enough for her to advance to level 4.
Therefore, the most important thing to do was to find a way to get more 'God's blood' from the source of this power crystal!
After understanding this, Mary waved her hand to summon the old fox, Venlier, and started a discussion with him.
As the two of them conversed, an even grander and more risky plan surfaced.
…
Magus World, Blazing Flame Monarch.
Fifth level of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Grim stood in front of a huge magic mirror, communicating with Alice from a distance.
This time, it was Alice who initiated the communication, so Grim was very surprised.
Ever since Alice had successfully advanced to grade 4, she and the Destiny Witches had become more and more important in the Northern Witch Council.
In order to keep the Destiny Clan in the ranks of the Northern Witches, all the branches of the Witch Council changed their indifferent expressions and began to express their goodwill to Alice.
Alice did not even have time to refuse. The Northern Witch Council had already decided to hold a grand ceremony for her advancement in Wilning City.
At that time, all the leaders and high-ranked witches would be gathered there, cheering for the Destiny Clan's rise again.
This was a decision that Alice could not refuse!
Even if she did not like to be dragged around like this, she could only accept it for the sake of the Destiny Clan as long as she was the leader of the Destiny Witches.
Most of the time, the Destiny Witches were little pets kept by the plane's consciousness.
Although they could see, hear, and understand so many secrets of fate, they could not make decisions as they pleased under the control of the power of fate.
Following the trend of history, grasping the pulse of fate …
