Reed was so shocked by the attributes of the crystal skeleton that he could not speak for a long time.

The Remnants of the Divine

Attributes:

1. Inheritance: can transform a human into a Progenitor Vampire (used)

2. Legacy of the Vampires: can maintain the vitality of human blood (range: a radius of 100 rhents)

3. Mana Surge: as a divine being, it can still attract magic powers even in death and can continuously draw magic power around it.

The Remnants of the Gods are perpetual and cannot be destroyed by powers below that of the Divine.

Introduction: The remnants of a vampiric holy spirit have a very special function, and they are treasured by the vampires.

Reed did not expect the Divine Spirit to be the remains of a vampire’s holy spirit.

That was more than amazing, and it scared him.

Was it a literal divine artifact?

If the corpse of a holy spirit were brought out, the entire Norland Empire would probably come to a boil.

Reed took two deep breaths to calm his turbulent heart.

He then looked at the attributes of the Divine Spirit again.

1. Inheritance: can transform a human into a Progenitor Vampire (used)

Without question, that was the attribute that transformed the originally human Progenitor Vampire into a true vampire.

Unfortunately, it could only be used once.

2. Legacy of the Vampires: can maintain the vitality of human blood (range: a radius of 100 rhents)

The next attribute was the blade that broke the chains around the vampires’ necks.

They could not survive without fresh human blood, but the existence of the Divine Spirit gave the vampires the freedom to store food like humans.

Its significance was so great that even on its own, it was enough to be considered a treasure without equal.

3. Mana Surge: as a divine being, it can still attract magic powers even in death and can continuously draw magic power around it.

In Reed’s memory, there was a spell with a very similar function to the third attribute.

Forbidden Spell

Mana Convergence: able to gather the magic power in a small space, and the mage can greatly increase the efficiency of Meditation while meditating.

It was a legendary Forbidden Spell that even a Transcendent Mage might not necessarily master.

Although it was not an offensive ability, it was undoubtedly the best auxiliary support magic for a mage.

“It looks like the milky white blood in the Fount of Blood became that way because of this attribute.”

“In that case, what kind of functions does this pool of blood have?”

Reed could not keep the curiosity in his heart in check, and he quickly stepped forward to find out.

The Remnants of the Divine’s sudden appearance undoubtedly increased the success rate of his plan to at least ninety percent.

If he could find something nice, it would be the best news for him.

Bending down and ignoring the fact that he was on what was holy ground for the vampires, he touched the milky white liquid with his finger.

Sure enough, a new screen appeared on his attributes panel.

Manablood

Immediately restore 50 mana after drinking.

Increases the recovery speed of vampires by 1,000% after drinking and can heal wounds.

Explanation: Blood soaked in the vampires’ sacred artifact; it is infused with incredible energy.

Hiss.

This attribute…

Reed was shocked once again.

The magic-infused blood could no longer be referred to as blood. It was more like an elixir exclusive to the vampires.

Its effects were stronger than that of any potion.

The Remnants of the Divine surely lived up to its name, and even a dead Divine Spirit still held unimaginable power.

The value of the Divine Spirit was comparable to a dragon’s treasure hoard.

It was no exaggeration to call it something valuable.

On the matter of the upcoming agricultural project, he could just go ahead and do it.

“How long can the blood stored in the Fount of Blood sustain our kin?”

As he stood up, he turned his head and seriously looked at Frey, who was in a noble blue robe. He was the person who had been in charge of guarding the Fount of Blood.

The thin and arrogant-looking second-generation vampire was a Level 9 mage. Reed aside, he was the strongest among the vampires in terms of pure strength.

None of the other six second-generation vampires could match Frey, and his combat prowess made him highly-valued by Reed. Therefore, he was appointed with the task of guarding the Fount of Blood.

“Patriarch, our reserves can sustain our kin for three years.”

Upon hearing Frey’s answer, Reed nodded in satisfaction.

There was no cause for panic when his barn was loaded with food. Even if his plan failed, he had a strong enough foundation to weather the risk.

“Very well. Continue to guard the Fount of Blood. After tomorrow, you do not need to leave the sacred grounds for the next six months. This is the foundation of our kind, Frey. You are my most trusted child, so I will leave everything here to you.”

There was an inexplicable odd feeling when the young-looking Reed uttered those words to Frey, who seemed to be in his thirties. Yet, none of them found anything wrong with it.

The rest of the second-generation vampires looked at Frey enviously. To be so trusted by the Patriarch was a great honor for any vampire.

Frey’s aloof face was a little moved as he knelt down on one knee.

There was a scarlet glint in his turquoise eyes, and his tone was earnest. “As you command, Father. No one will bring harm to the sacred ground unless they step over my dead body.”

Reed nodded, and after he helped Frey to his feet, his face turned solemn. “Create a separate chamber for the Fount of Blood and separate it from the outside world. Also, in the future, there should be no more direct contact with the Fount of Blood whenever our kinfolk consume the Manablood. It is better to build a few more chambers so that the Divine Spirit and the Fount of Blood no longer have any outside contact. Plus, from today onwards, every vampire is forbidden from talking about the Divine Spirit, and I hope that the vampires will forget about its existence.”

The Remnants of the Divine were just too powerful, and even the vampires had never discovered that fact.

Nevertheless, he could not totally exclude the risk of that information leaking out.

Reed had noticed the seriousness of the matter. Forget the vampires who could be easily placed under siege by Grimm, even Grimm, with her Transcendent Mage protecting her, would not be able to secure the Remnants of the Divine.

It was just priceless.

If news of this got out, the vampires would be destroyed in an instant.

Several of the second-generation vampires were a little surprised by Reed’s somber expression. They could not understand why Reed wanted to hide the Divine Spirit, which had been in the Fount of Blood for the last two hundred years.

Whether they understood it or not, Reed’s orders were absolute, and they needed to be carried out.

“That’s that. I trust that you have a solution for this. The Divine Spirit shall be our race’s top secret.”

Reed waved his hand and did not explain anything in detail.

The more people knew, the more dangerous it would be. It was not that he did not trust the loyalty of his vampires, but it was a treacherous world of magic.

Spells to inspect one’s memories were not legendary existences, and Reed knew no less than five spells that were capable of doing that. He just never had a chance to learn them.

“Yes, Father.”

After Reed dismissed the crowd, he stayed at the Fount of Blood for a while before he finally suppressed the excitement in his heart and walked back to the castle’s central manor alone.

He actually did not need to worry too much about the Divine Spirit’s safety. The sacred ground was not only arrayed with all kinds of magic formations and traps, but there were also two one-way teleportation arrays around the Fount of Blood. The Progenitor Vampire had gotten them at great expense.

Should an unstoppable enemy rush in, the guards in charge would immediately initiate the teleportation array to send the Divine Spirit to safety.

Plus, if they ever got to that point, the vampires would probably just be a step away from extinction.
