Chapter 65 Benefits Of the Blood (2)

For several seconds after having gotten her first taste of the Golden Blood, Glacia appeared to be completely incoherent, and if he didn't know better, Aoni could have easily mistaken her condition as what happens when cats get their hands on catnip, AKA high as Fuck.

Thankfully, he had enough knowledge stored in that backlogged mind that the Lad understood what his beloved summon was going through; it was essentially creatures, beasts, or monsters' way of getting stronger.

After all, unlike humans or other humanoid beings, they didn't progress through ranks due to effort and experience; instead, 99.99% of the growth of non-humanoid's Grades came from devouring other beings.

Think of it like in a video game: non-humanoids get XP for kills, whereas Humanoids only get it through effort and training and Dungeon Instances.

Careful not to spill the bowl's contents on the ground, Aoni placed it down and gently picked up his summon before placing her in his lap and giving her some comforting pets.

Eventually, with a shake of her head, Glacia's eyes finally opened, and being the little glutton for attention she was, she instantly closed them right back, faking like she was sleeping.

However, how could something like that work on her Lord, who not only could sense her thoughts and emotions but was also carefully watching over her just in case something happened?

'You're a hundred years too young to try and pull a fast one on me like that kid,' rolling his eyes and saying the same phrase his mother used to use on him whenever he faked being sick to stay home from school, Aoni lifted his summon off his lap and placed her down beside him, replacing her position with the bowl of blood.

Feeling her body move before the comforting warmth of her Lord's attention vanished and was replaced by the cold, hard ground, Glacia popped up like she had been lit on fire and shot Aoni an offended look.

That's right, he would inflate like a balloon and pop fleshy gore all over the place.

In a sense, it was like trying to fill a water balloon from a garden hose at its lowest setting versus using a firehose at full blast.

So the fact that he was able to notice a faint transfer between the blood and his body upon consumption stumped him to no end.

Meanwhile, Glacia, on the other hand, was an entirely different story altogether. Given her being a non-humanoid, she could probably down the entire bowl, and the worst thing that would happen was burping before falling asleep for a few days or weeks.

Even so, Aoni knew that what he had was a GOLDEN opportunity, All the puns intended, because, on top of being able to consume and absorb the mass amount of Energia directly, it also was traceable as it went down.

From the moment it hit his tongue to the instant it flowed down the back of his throat, Aoni was fully capable of following the bundle of condensed Energia as it flowed and traversed toward his stomach, then spread out toward his EC.

By following this movement, obtaining the Manipulation Passive was within his reach...the only question was how much blood he would need to consume, along with what kind of time frame it would take.

*Inhale* *Exhale*

As Aoni stared at the bowl, which had gradually cooled down as the temperature slowly dropped, he took a deep breath before exhaling loudly and glanced over his shoulder to make sure that the bloodletting of the second carcass was going well.
