Reincarnated as incubus: I didn't mean to seduce you!-Chapter 639 - 216: The Beautiful Witch’s Pendant, Aister’s Close-up (10K, 1/2)_2

So, the reason Aister is devouring so many corpses now is to help Kael collect the bloodline data of various races.

Some races originated from the Shénhuá Continent, some are visitors from the Dungeon, some belong to non-intelligent Monsters, and some are artificially created organisms, or breeds resulting from the crossbreeding of creatures from different worlds.

Kael is well aware that there are tremendous secrets hidden within bloodlines; the so-called race-specific transcendental expertise lies hidden within the blood of the major races.

However, despite the existence of professions like Necromancers, who often modify their own bodies,

there are even some traditional Wizard professions that draw the power from different bloodlines. By tracing back to the source, they approach the origin of the bloodline to acquire power.

But as the old saying goes, as long as there is no interruption in the transmission of knowledge, the evolution of history is ultimately ascending in a spiral.

The Wizard profession has nearly vanished from the continent, belonging to a niche within a niche, with even fewer followers than those Necromancer sects that delve into body modifications.

The primary reason for this is that many Bloodline Wizards themselves have gone astray.

The highest levels achievable by current professionals show a clear gap compared to those reachable by their counterparts a thousand years ago.

The highest level of professionals from a thousand years ago also had a gap from those ten thousand years prior.

Even according to some secret information Kael learned from the Dungeon, there was a time when the Shénhuá Continent didn't have any Extraordinary Powers at all.

Trace back to the source?

Trace back to a non-magical life?

For many races of the Shénhuá Continent, it might be that their entire race had a very low occupational level cap before coming to the continent.

It was through the integration of various systems over long years, extracting the essence and discarding the dregs, that they later developed formidable strength.

For example, the Elf Clan.

For example, the Winged People.

For example, the Dwarf Clan.

There are far too many races that have broken through their own limits by absorbing power systems from other worlds.

Even the fact that the Mage profession could appear and quickly develop among the Elf Clan is the result of countless trials and errors.

Those who do not follow the progress of the times will inevitably be eliminated by the times themselves.

Development relying on archeology is not advisable after all; many things are lost not because there is no will to pass them on, but simply because...

...there are better things available.

So, in the end, the profession of the Wizard has essentially bowed out of the historical stage, yet the part of it that was pioneering, enterprising, and innovative has been replaced by the Mage.

One could say that its decline to such a state today is truly a matter of both timing and fate.

However, Kael is clear that this doesn't mean studying bloodlines has no future.

In fact, there currently exists a profession within the Bell Federation that can extract hidden values from bloodlines from the very foundation.

This profession is known as the "Cursed Swordsman."

By slaying various Monsters and blending their essential materials into corresponding Bloodline Essences, one can acquire the specialties of those Monsters after a long period of absorption.

The "Proof of Lion Heart" Kael obtained through the family awakening ceremony is a Crystal representing various composite Monster specialties that the Lion Heart clan had steadily stabilized after continuously drawing from Griffin bloodlines over many years.

In other words, the Cursed Swordsman profession itself is one that cleverly uses the bloodlines of other races.

Kael isn't a Cursed Swordsman, but it doesn't mean he can't simulate the Cursed Swordsman's power system to some extent. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

The War Mage is another profession that emerged during the pinnacle era of Mages, integrating many aspects of mid- to close-range combat professions. With some modifications, it can even be adapted to long-range ones like the Elf Ranger.

This fully demonstrates one thing...

As long as the mechanisms and relevant conditions for Extraordinary Powers are understood, even if Kael isn't a Cursed Swordsman, it's not impossible to make use of other professions' characteristics within his own Mage abilities.

For instance... transforming some transcendental specialties into corresponding Spells.

In this aspect of research, Scroll Scholars who possess Dark Knowledge and have a better chance to uncover the weaknesses of other professions are at an advantage.

This is also why Kael thought about having Aister absorb parts of various races' bodies.

Utilizing the bodies of the dead a bit shouldn't be a problem, right?

Aister, after all, is the Gluttonous Slime Queen, possessing abilities and power far surpassing other Slimes.

Just like the Slime Girl of Hassaka managed to develop the ability to help the host's skin "breathe" air, Aister took only one night to successfully acquire this ability as well.

Most of the Rangers who now switch to Mounted Knight profession are Cursed Swordsmen or from other branches of the Cursed Swordsman profession.

It has been confirmed that Gluttonous Slimes can assist Cursed Swordsmen in quickly extracting and converting Bloodline Essences.

The Slimes that these Rangers carry are closely related to Aister, and they share a symbiotic relationship with the Rangers themselves.

At one point, Kael wondered if it was possible for these Slimes to develop specific specialties similar to the "Proof of Lion Heart" by continuously evolving through the absorption of Bloodline Essences.

Later, it was proven that Kael's guess was correct.

After a long time absorbing Bloodline Essences, each Slime evolved in a subtly different direction depending on the types of Bloodline Essences they absorbed.
