Rise of the Blood Sovereign

Chapter 96 Wan and Olman's Powers

96 Wan and Olman's Powers

Lyle decided not to fully focus on either one of the two at the very end.

His fighting ability was very important and he couldn't sacrifice that just to study poisons as he knew that no matter how much he practiced the art of poison, he would never be able to reach the heights that Ilya had reached.

Ilya's ability itself was poison and he could conjure it from his body or the surroundings simply by using and manipulating mana. Poison was like an extension of his body and the power it had was directly connected to him, meaning that even without studying the art of poisons, Ilya would still have incredibly deadly poisons that could kill others.

Lyle, on the other hand, needed to study the art and use what Ilya had left in order to learn how to concoct poisons himself before being able to use them. From what little he had browsed through Ilya's many scrolls and short diaries, he learned that the man had actually even used most of the poisons on himself.

With him having the poison element as his innate ability, one that he was born with, just like Lyle with his blood manipulation, and now the darkness manipulation as well, he was heavily resistant to poisons and could ingest poisons that would heavily injure those at the same realm as him without much trouble.

At most, he would get sick and would need to rest for a couple of days, but after that, he would gain full immunity toward that poison and would actually have it available for his own use, easily conjuring it via mana.

Lyle was able to find out that Ilya had access to hundreds of different poisons, some were paralyzing agents like the one he had used on Lyle, and others were poisons that were untraceable and would slowly destroy the enemy from the inside for a long period of time, just like the one he had used on the old duke.

Other poisons were those that would kill an enemy quickly, some would be dispersed into a toxic gas like the one he had given to Morn and more.

There were so many different types of poisons and ways to utilize them that Lyle knew it would take an incredibly long amount of time for him to learn how to concoct them and safely use them.

It was simply not a viable option for him to fully engross himself in studying the art of poisons as it would take too much time, the time he might not have thanks to him being marked by the empress of the night and the fact that he was an assassin that would have to continue doing his job soon.

He had to focus on improving his own strength before being able to commit to learning the art of poisons, but he wouldn't simply ignore it either.

Since he had just arrived back in Orsvald, he was going to rest a bit, but before doing so, there was something he, Adam, and the two newcomers had to do.

The two still hadn't gone through their evolutions, so Lyle first waited with Adam back in the living room before both the men arrived and sat down.

They were each now Bronze Knights, and Lyle would use them well.

He would be a perfect assassin or spy, being able to transform himself into another person and copy how they acted perfectly.

"Furthermore, it allows me to have a complete view of my immediate surroundings, I can see everything that is about 100 meters around me without moving my eyes at all, so even if someone was to try and sneak up on me, the moment they came to 100 meters from me, I will spot them even if they are behind me."

"Mine is 'Eagle Sight', it's a simple one, it simply improves my eyesight, and I can spot anything from about 2 miles away, even if it's as small as a rabbit."

"Furthermore, it allows me to have a complete view of my immediate surroundings, I can see everything that is about 100 meters around me without moving my eyes at all, so even if someone was to try and sneak up on me, the moment they came to 100 meters from me, I will spot them even if they are behind me."

Olman's ability was somewhat average, except for the complete view of 100 meters around him which was actually more than decent.

The next thing the two did was talked about the weapons they used.

Wan preferred using a curved sword, while Olman was an archer.

Since Wan rarely fought, he did not really use only one weapon, but the curved sword was what he was best at and simply had a knack for it.

As for Olman, since his ability was one that improved his eyesight drastically, it was only natural that he would use a long-range weapon like the bow. He could spot anyone from 2 miles away and set up an ambush before launching an arrow before the enemy had even noticed him.

With the two becoming vampiric servants, they had of course gained an additional ability as well.

Wan had gotten the blood manipulation ability from Lyle, while Olman received the darkness manipulation ability.

It was somewhat of a shame that it wasn't the opposite, since Wan having the darkness manipulation would make his skills at infiltrating and spying even better. But, it was what it was, none of them could access the abilities before reaching the Silver Knight realm anyway, so there was no immediate benefit to either one of them.

Lyle explained to the two what he wanted them to do. Hearing how he wanted the two to create an organization that the two would manage made them a bit surprised, but they simply nodded to Lyle and promised to do their best.

"Alright, now, there is only one more thing all 4 of us need to do," Lyle said as he took out a jar of blood from his spatial ring.
