Nightmare Paradise : Starting as a Doctor

Chapter 119 [Monster Whispering Manual]

Holding Bloody Reaper in one hand and the chimera essence in the other, Lynn's heart pounded with anticipation, hoping his speculation would prove correct.

He carefully placed the black pistol on the table and popped open the vial. A part of him hesitated, reluctant to take such risky action without fully understanding the consequences.

Yet the enticing potential outweighed his caution. The temptation to enhance this extraordinary weapon already bonded to him was too alluring to ignore.

"I should at least attempt it," he reasoned, steeling his resolve. "But I must exercise prudence."

With extreme care, he tilted the container ever so slightly, allowing a single viscous drop to fall onto the dark metal surface. A tense moment passed where nothing seemed to happen.

Just as doubt began creeping into his mind, a subtle change occurred. A faint sizzle started echoing through the air as the drop of essence seemed to be slowly absorbed.

"It's not enough," he instantly realized. Compared to when he had used his own blood to complete the first evolution, the amount used now was minuscule. It needed more, much more.

Taking a deep breath, he determined to continue. He poured a steady stream of the liquid onto the weapon, watching as it slowly seeped into its intricate engravings and crevices.

This time, the reaction was instantaneous.

Bloody Reaper immediately started trembling atop the table, rattling against the wooden surface. Strange energy pulsations rippled around it, humming ominously as if resonating with his very soul.

Fixing this bizarre spectacle with the lens on the pendant hanging around his neck, Lynn could see a surge of power emanating from the weapon, as if it had awakened from a long slumber.

Beyond the physical distortions, he could perceive the explosive clash of energies that fueled this metamorphosis. It was a tumultuous convergence of forces, unlike anything he had witnessed before.

The potent and volatile aura radiating from the chimera essence seemed to roar and thrash as it made contact with the Bloody Reaper's own swirling energy field. It was akin to observing two ravenous beasts locked in mortal combat.

However, before his eyes, the auras did not annihilate each other through this explosive contact. Instead, the essences churned and blended, both undergoing profound alterations in the process.

The chimera essence's aura, previously tainted by sinister undertones, took on a brighter, fuller hue as the swirling darkness was burned away, leaving only purified power behind.

In turn, the Bloody Reaper's crimson aura expanded and grew deeper in intensity. The introduction of new energy stirred its potential like fuel added to a growing flame.

Lynn's eyes widened as realization struck. "I see now, this is the difference between auras and spiritual energy."

While spiritual energy represented the raw vitality flowing through all things, auras provided deeper insight by reflecting the nature and characteristics of that energy.

By perceiving auras through the magnifying lens, he witnessed this transformative fusion on a fundamental level. The black pistol absorbed the purified energy of the extraordinary essence, using it to ignite its growth.

Gradually, the violent convulsions stabilized, signifying the integration was complete. The firearm's aura glowed brilliantly for a moment before shrinking and consolidating, settling back within.

Running his fingers delicately along the gun's grip, he noticed a small amount of excess fluid that was not absorbed. Lynn wiped and cleaned it using a piece of tissue, which he disposed of appropriately.
