Strongest Mage With The Lust System - Chapter 410 Blood Gem

“It’s alright, brother. This grade-four blood gem is enough for me.” Amara smiled sweetly. As a three-star mage, the highest grade of blood gem she could use was grade-four gem which she just got.

“Mm? How do you know there is a grade-four blood gem and not a grade-three?” Ashroth asked curiously.

“Hmph! Big brother, do you think I’m that naïve girl I was two years ago?” Amara snorted in displeasure and then added. “Given how arrogant and prideful that cheap bastard is, he wouldn’t have given a gift lower than his realm’s equivalent, even if he wanted to humiliate you.”

“Hehe. So, you’ve finally become smart. That’s good.” Ashroth grinned teasingly, but there was a glint of hidden remorse in his eyes.

Two years ago, this sister of his was naïve and carefree. She never paid attention to anything and would only focus on having fun. But now, she has changed so much that she was even paying attention to such small details.

‘I guess it’s not too bad since it helped her mature.’ He thought. But this didn’t decrease the anger he had for all his siblings, who made things difficult for her in his absence.

Amara was perceptive enough to sense what he was feeling. She tugged at his arm and said, “It’s alright, brother. You don’t need to blame yourself.”

“Alright. I’ll be going then. Have a good rest.” Ashroth smilingly patted her head and walked out of the villa and headed toward his residence.

Amara went to her room, closed the door, sat on the bed and took out the box.

Opening it, she found a chicken egg’s size blood red bead. Feeling the faint energy it was emitting, she knew she was right. It was a grade-four blood gem.

Blood gems were the condensed form of blood essence of a being and could replenish their exhausted blood energy, however, only those who had awakened the blood demon’s bloodline could use them.

This was why Osmont gave it to Ashroth, thinking that he won’t be able to use it and thus will feel humiliated. However, how could he know he wasn’t humiliating him but helping Amara instead? If he knew, he would definitely spat out blood in anger.

The blood gems didn’t exist naturally, but were created by the blood demons thousands of years ago.

At present, very few people knew how to create them. Bloodwing tribe was one of these rare few. However, it didn’t mean that they were available in large quantity just because the tribe knew the creation method. There were two reasons for it.

First, to create a let’s say a grade-four blood gem, you would need the blood essence of a four-star being. This was a very difficult task because to form a single gem, half of the total blood essence of the four-star being was needed.

But no one would willingly give it because once they lost this much blood essence, they would be severely weakened and their realms might regress too. Some may even lose their lives. So, if someone wanted to create a blood gem, they would have to kill the person and then extract his blood essence.

Second, to form a blood gem, the creator must be equally, if not stronger, than the person who the blood essence belonged to, and he also had to use some of his blood essence in the process.

Because of these two reasons, the supply of the blood gems was always scarce. This was especially true for blood gems of higher grades.

Amara sat cross-legged and threw it in her mouth before gulping it down.

Boom!

She then released her bloodline energy and started assimilating the blood energy a little at a time. Because it was her first time, she was having difficulty, but as time passed, she got the hang of it.

Time continued to pass.

She was so immersed assimilating the blood energy that she didn’t even realize it was already morning.

When it was afternoon, she finally opened her eyes and exhaled.

Phew!

Blood red mist flew out of her mouth as she did so. There was a satisfied and happy smile on her face.

She checked her body’s condition and was pleasantly surprised to see her pure yin energy completely replenished and her realm had also increased from mid-stage to high-stage. She was filling full of energy now.

‘This is amazing. I’ve only digested only a quarter of the energy and I’ve already improved so much. No wonder big brother managed to reach the mid-stage four-star realm in just two years.’ She thought in excitement.

However, she didn’t realize that if Ashroth saw her now, he would be extremely surprised because even with his bloodline awakened and blood gems at his disposal, it took him more than half a month to reach the high-stage from the mid-stage three-star while she had done so in just half a day.

“Oh, no! It’s already afternoon.” While feeling exhilarated, she suddenly realized the time and her expression changed. She was supposed to wake her master up in the morning.

Whoosh!

She stood and ran out of the room in a hurry and went to Max’s room.

Knock! Knock!

She put on a faint smile on her face and adjusted her clothing before knocking on the door.

There was no response. Therefore, she knocked again and this time, after a few seconds, the door opened and Max walked out yawning.

“G-Good morning, master.” She nervously greeted him.

Max starched his body and then looked at her with a faint smile that was not a smile and said, “Oh? It’s still morning?”

“I-I’m sorry, master. I was trying to recover my pure yin as you ordered me to and f-forget the time.” She said, hoping that this would make him less angry.

After the slave seal was planted in her soul, without her knowing, she had developed a hint of fear and respect for him. That was why she was so concerned right now.

As she hoped, Max’s eyes brightened when he heard this and he asked, “So, have you recovered it?”

“Yes, master. I have.” Amara nodded, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

“Very good. You did well.” Max nodded in satisfaction. He then went inside the room, stored his bed, walked out, and said, “Let’s go to your villa. I will reward you for your hard work.”
