During the journey to the Mattoni Empire's capital, Cael had time to deal with another thing.
The blood gathered from ejderha tasted as delicious as it smelled—salty and spicy, like human blood, but much, much more. And the mana potential of it was outright tremendous.
After consuming the two liters of blood Cael had gathered, he had to spend the Blood Points. Not to mention, he had a solid chunk of them from earlier.
He invested in himself firstly. The encounter with ejderha showed Cael that he was not as prepared for the resistance from them as he thought he was.
These two didn't expect Cael's power. But what if other ejderha people would act smarter, or be more powerful? What about ejder ones? They were still a mystery.
