Reckless slaughter
Chapter 515
Dean lost two bottles of Godâs marrow and couldnât get any results from this test. On the night of the third day under the disguise of strolling around he came to the foot of the mountain. He tried to find animals relying on his thermal vision.
Dean was able to catch a little animal which was similar to a pangolin. He injected the Godâs marrow that he had prepared in advance.
Previous time he didnât want to test Godâs marrow on animals because the results may not be able to reflect the characteristics of Godâs marrow perfectly. After all, human and animal body structures were different. Godâs marrow was in sense a medicine. There were some special reactions that couldnât be verified if the medicine was tested on animals.
Dean picked up the little animal and was about to take it back to shelter after the injection was over.
However, the animal struggled up in an instant. Itâs eyes turned reddish while blood stains began to emerge from its scales. In an instant the docile animal had become a bloodthirsty monster.
Dean was startled as he let loose the animal. He didnât think that Godâs marrow would be effective so fast.
Hiss~ The little animal crouched down the moment it landed and jumped at Dean.
Deanâs body flashed and escaped the animalâs attack. The next moment animalâs body turned stiff and it stopped moving. It fell to the ground as its claws tried to desperately buckle the ground.
In about 7 or 8 seconds its body rolled and stopped moving at all. Blood began to flow out from its eyes, mouth, ears and others parts of the body. It was dead.
Deanâs face turned gloomy. He had deliberately used only one drop of Godâs marrow and mixed it with water before injecting it to the animalâs body. Dean knew that injected whole bottle of Godâs marrow would not be wise. However, even a drop was enough to kill the animal.
âGodâs marrow is toxic âŠâ Dean felt all the hair on his body stand ereft. He felt tempted when he gave two bottles of Godâs marrow to Eugene. He had regretted it after giving those bottle to Eugene. However, it seems the Godâs marrow was really problematic!
Of course, there was a small possibility. The body structure of the animal wasnât suited and couldnât bear the effects of the Godâs marrow even though he had used only a drop!
After a moment, Dean bent over and dig a pit. He buried the animal in it.
He went back to their home. Deanâs face was calm as usual but his heart was gloomy.
If the Godâs marrow was toxic then it meant that the enemies within the Dragon clan couldnât wait to deal with him!
Outside the giant wall was very dangerous place, especially the wasteland. They knew that there was a âpossibilityâ that Dean may die outside. However it seems those people were interested in changing that âpossibilityâ into ârealityâ as soon as possible.
âThose who planned to frame me must know that with my current identity I canât investigate and know which faction is behind this move. I wonât know for sure whether itâs the people who support Aisha or Hailey. But, I wouldnât go for such a stupid move if I were Hailey. My presence is an important piece for her in this game!â Dean whispered.
âMost probably itâs the people who support Aisha that wanted me to die as soon as possible. They hope that I wonât âlagâ her behind if I am dead.â
Anger burst out in his heart as he pondered about the issue.
He understood how these people solved problems. If not for his past encounters in prison, dark church and other places Dean knew that he wouldnât be so vigilant.
He would be dead if he wasnât vigilant!
âIt seems that it will be very hard to survive in the dragon clan⊠â Dean pondered. He greeted Eugene with a smile and went into his own room. He closed the door and the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at the box with the Godâs marrows. He knew that he couldnât use them any longer.
However, it meant that he wouldnât be able to use Godâs marrows to enhance his own strength!
âI have to rely on parasitic soul worms âŠâ He looked at the finger long 8 tubes that had parasitic soul worms. The problem was that parasitic soul worms couldnât be fostered for long. The soul worms were dynamic when they were given to him. But right now they were lazily lying in the tubes.
But the good thing was that he could use the blood of the soul worms to enhance both his magic marks and his own strength.
The problem was that this approach was too wasteful. It was very difficult to find rare monsters let alone kill them!
However, he couldnât think another way. He had to enhance his own strength before going to wasteland.
The probability of his safety in the wasteland would be higher if he enhanced his own strength.
Dean came to sit on bed. He took one of the soul worms. He recognized the soul worm. It was the soul worm used by the Linda who he had killed. The soul worm would bring its user ability to control the blood and immunity to certain toxins.
He took a syringe and filled it with the soul wormâs blood and began to absorb it.
âThe Godâs marrow is problematic so the only solution is to use parasitic soul worms for nowâŠeven though itâs a waste.â Deanâs mind was in peace as he absorbed the blood of the parasitic soul worms. He knew that if they had problems too then he would be dead for sure.
It didnât take long for him to finish the absorption of the first parasitic soul wormâs blood. He continued to absorb the second one.
He was at bottleneck as a senior hunter when he was captured by the Dragon clan. After the absorption of the first parasitic soul worm he reached the state where he had to advance to primary limitless. Dean planned to inject blood of the other 7 soul worms to enhance his magic marks.

He used another 6 soul worms and injected them to the magic marks on his chest. However the deified magic mark was still as dark as ink. Itâs shape hadnât changed much.
Dean wryly smiled as he had expected this situation. He had realized this situation when he had advanced from intermediate hunter to senior hunter level. The deified legendary magic marks needed more soul worms in quality and quantity for the next evolution. It seems that 8 rare parasitic soul worms would be enough for him to reach the primary limitless level. However, for his magic marks to evolve it wouldnât be enough.
However, it was hard to get rare parasitic soul worms.
âIt seems that it will be very hard to become a primary limitless in the foreseeable future in the Dragon clanâŠâ Dean pondered. This time the resources were given for free but he had to rely on his points to exchange for them in the future.
However this exchange system meant that he will have to rely on Dragon clan for long time. It was kind of an enslavement meant for the workers of the clan. If he followed this system then he would never be able to get out of the cycle.
Dean touched the magic marks on his chest and put on his clothes. Most probably he would be the first senior hunter to go to wasteland for mission in the history of the dragon clan.
His eyes lit up as he looked at the box.
The next day.
At down.
Ian, Ruby and Rosemarie were training in the field near the house. Eugene was watching them spar.
Dean woke up and ate his breakfast. Afterwards he came over to the training field to say âhiâ to the team.
Ian stopped boxing with Ruby and looked at Dean: âDo you wanna spar?â
âNot yet. I havenât finished absorbing the Godâs marrow. I will as soon as I reach the primary limitless level.â Dean shrugged his shoulders: âIâll go around to stroll a bit.â
Ruby grinned: âKiddo, you should learn from Eugene. The more you are abused by fighting against a stronger person the more you will grow. Ainât it?â
âI am not a sadist.â Dean went away.
Ruby laughed but didnât notice that Dean didnât mean âmasochistâ but âsadistâ. (there is a Chinese word play in here)
He was away from the training field but he could still hear the voices of Ruby and Ian who were sparring. He came to the mountains and checked that no one was around. He removed one bottle of the Godâs marrow and threw it to ground. The place was grassy and it wasnât fully concealed. The bottle of Godâs marrow didnât seem conspicuous but as if was left behind by someone.
In short time, Dean left Godâs marrows all over the mountain.
Along the way he met members of the dragon clan. However neither him nor the other side took the initiative to greet as they didnât know each other.
He returned back to the residence. He took few Godâs marrows that were left in the room and began to wander in the other mountains.
âI canât find who was aiming to harm me. So I hope no one will blame for what I do right now.â A trace of coldness flashed past his eyes. As the saying goes it was wrong to own a debt and donât pay back. However he couldnât find the creditors so he had to make sure that those creditors take the initiative to find him.
The unlucky people in this game would be the greedy ones that would pick up the Godâs marrows and use them.
He knew that those people were innocent but he had to decisive and solve out his own problem: âIf you want to blame then blame the higher ups of the Dragon clanâŠâ
Deanâs face was calm as he leisurely walked back to the training field. At the moment Eugene was sparring with the woman called Rosemary. Eugene was sweating a lot while the Rosemary was as cold as an iceberg.
Dean sat on the side and looked at them.
As a bystander he was able to see the difference between the combat arts of the two. Eugeneâs actions were too large in range and he wasted physical strength. However, Rosemary would directly attack without any extra moves.
Dean knew that he couldnât see all those gaps if he only looked at Eugene. The contrast was visible because of the Rosemaryâs swift and decisive actions.
He knew this kind of perception was result of the contrast that both of them were showing while in a spar.
âLight needs darkness⊠Darkness needs light to cover it⊠â Dean thought about Holy Church and the Dark Church of the outer wall. The Monastery used this simple trick to fool everyone. The understanding of truth was different because of the contrasting organizations.
However, no matter what which organization you joined the ultimate power behind the scenes belonged to Pope and the Monastery.
âWhat are you thinking?â Ian sat by him while he drank a glass of water.
Dean smiled: âThey are very powerful.â
âAre they?â Ian looked at Rosemary and Eugene: âAre you talking about Rosemary? She is just playing around. I asked her to accompany Eugene in spars. You will have to practice too. After all, the reaction of your body and consciousness wouldnât match after the absorption of the Godâs marrow. It will be very wrong to directly face monsters in this state.â
Dean slightly nodded.
Another day passed.
Dean was counting days. On the fifth day he heard the news from Ianâs mouth. Two members from the 13th team were poisoned and sent to infirmary. The team wouldnât be able to go to mission because they would need new members.
The other teams were aware of the matter because the news rapidly spread within the mountain.
Ruby, Rosemary and others strangely looked at each other when they heard news from Ian.
How could someone get poisoned in the mountains? The only possibility was food poisoning but how could that be?
If it wasnât food poisoning then who would be so bold to deliberately poison members of the dragon clan?
