Builders

After Kael skillfully took down the red rabbit, Leon approached the lifeless creature with in curiosity. Crouching beside the rabbit's corpse, he muttered "Appraisal."

A transparent panel materialized in front of him, revealing crucial information about the creature.

[ Corpse of a Demonic hare ]

[ Mutated Magi Beast ]

[ Bloodline: Corrupted Sun (Low) ]

[ It is a once ordinary Sun rabbit that was turned demonic due to consuming a Stingblood infused with demonic energy ]

"A Mutated Magi beast huh... how rare, it even have a bloodline even though its low grade." Leon said in amazement.

The Beast in this world is divided into three. The Magi beast is the ones who can use magic while the Pranic beast on the other hand use aura. And last but not the least the mutated beast, this beast mutated because of some external factors like demonic energy.

And as for the bloodlines it was classified into three grades. It was Low, Mid, and High.

Every bloodline has both a source (the kind of creature from which its characteristics are drawn) and a strength (low, mid, or high). The stronger the bloodline, the more potent the traits and benefits granted by it.

Every source has a Low grade associated with it. A low grade bloodline doesn't alter bearer much, and thus doesn't represent a very significant power increase over an ordinary bearer. This bloodlines are derived from relatively weak creatures.

Many sources also have Mid grade bloodlines. These affect the character's power level more drastically, and come from more potent races, such as elementals, giants, elves, dwarf and many more.

Higher bloodlines only come from the most powerful and primal of sources, including angels, demons, devils, high elves, and the mightiest dragons. A bearer with a major bloodline is a potent scion of his ancestor, displaying significant powers and abilities.

"But even though it is only a low grade bloodline, many who'd want to buy it." Leon smirk as he crouched down beside the rabbit's lifeless form, he then raised one of his hand and chant.

•|Serpentine essence, ancient and divine|•

•|Through ethereal threads, now entwine. From creature's core, a bloodline unfolds |•

•|Extract its power, as destiny molds.|•

As Leon chant a red magic circle appeared in his palm, and a mist of blood emanated from the rabbit's body.

•|Whispers of magic, secrets untold, In the tapestry of time, threads now hold.|•

•|A dance of energies, a mystical trance, As I draw forth the essence, let it enhance.|•

As the chant continues, Leon's hands moved with precision, drawing the essence from the creature's being and channeling it into the mystical forces that surrounded them

•|Bloodline of creature, I now unbind, To weave its power, to destiny bind.|•

•|In this sacred ritual, let the magic flow, As the creature's essence begins to show.|•

As Leon's incantation reached its zenith, resonating with the arcane forces, he uttered the final command with authoritative clarity, "Extract!" The atmosphere crackled with a sudden surge of power, and the blood mist surrounding the creature's corpse responded.

A palpable force coursed through the mist, pulling it with unseen hands. The crimson essence condensed, coalescing into a mesmerizing dark red orb within the Leon's outstretched hand. The orb pulsated with an otherworldly energy, capturing the essence of the creature's bloodline leaving only a mummified rabbit lying at the ground.

Leon hold the orb with a sense of triumph and marveled at the success of the extraction. The dark red glow within the orb seemed to hold the very essence of the creature's power.

Leon's eyes gleamed with intent as he examined the orb. "This will solve all of my current problems" he muttered to himself. The low grade bloodline can be sold highly to an auction at a famous kingdom.

"The only problem now is the altar. It's still can't be fix because the builders are still asleep... " Leon sighed as he pinced his nose in frustration.

Their gains today were quite good, and it was already noon. Leon personally carried the two grey wolves , while Kael proudly held a colossal chicken and a few rabbits it was their spoils from the hunt as they headed back.

Leon and Kael emerged from the dense woods as they approached the village, the scent of wood smoke wafting through the crisp air and rhythmic sounds of axes striking wood can be heard.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Intrigued, Leon's keen ears led him toward the northern side where lumberjacks diligently toiled. Impressed, he made a mental note to acknowledge their efforts later.

As Leon approached the town hall he sees two dward men standing near entrance of the hall. Their appearance is a stout men with blue eyes that appears bald, and has a nose as big as their eyes. They wore a yellow-brown aviator hat, brown leather pants and orange shoes and they also holds a stone hammer.

Noticing the duo, one of the dwarf nudged the other one, who turned and caught sight of the sizable fowl Kael held. With a mischievous glint in his eye, He quipped. "Well, would you look at that, That bird's bigger than my cock!"

"KEKEKE" The two dwarfs burst into laughter, but Leon remained stoic, his expression deadpan.

Observing them, he deduced their roles. "Builders, I presume?" he inquired, cutting through the laughter.

Apologizing for their jest, the builders introduced themselves. "Indeed, we're the builders Ion and Reed. Pardon our humor, Lord Leon," Ion said, extending a hand in a gesture of goodwill.

Leon just shake his head then he shook their hands, acknowledging their apology.
