"But what is it have to do with bathing in the blood of more than a thousand of people for thirty days?" Sky asked, slightly confused.
"Well, I believe it has something to do with rapidly boosting a person's life force with such an extreme method. I had seen something similar from my father's record books." said Ben.
"Mmm... I am thinking about the same thing as well. This is why I checked Itsuki's health stats just now, and there is indeed a significant fluctuation in his life force stat. I guess, this also explained about that life force corrosion magic he used that day." said Chris.
"Ah... That actually linked up everything. But seriously? Life force of more than a thousand of people? That's a huge number." said Sky.
"Yup, it surely is." said Chris.
"So, what's your next move? Continue our original plan?" Sky asked.
"Well, killing a thousand of people do sounds like an easy plan, but... Yeah, let's continue with our original plan, just switched the 'magic force' to 'life force'." said Chris.
"Oh... Okay."
"Uhm... You two... Ah... Never mind, make sure you don't overexert yourself." said Ben as he sighed.

Meanwhile, Quill Town.
Dominic is standing in the basement, staring at the dead body of the young prince who had returned to normal and is gradually getting older at a noticeable speed and eventually rotting down to a skeleton.
"I see... Forcibly removing his hidden vampire gene is an option as well huh?" Dominic mumbled before turning away and leaving the basement.
As Dominic returned to his working room/office, he is surprised to see Nathan who is waiting for him, and looked concerned.
"Nathan? Do you need anything from me?" Dominic asked, like a gentle old father.
"Mmm." Nathan nodded.
"What is it?" Dominic asked again.
"Your Grace, can I join the interview?" Nathan asked, in a naive tone.
"Interview?" Dominic is a bit confused by the question from Nathan.
"Mmm. The interview Brother Maria held in the town." said Nathan.
"Are you talking about that interview from my personal assistant recruitment?" Dominic asked.
"Mmm." Nathan nodded.
"I see. You want to be my personal assistant?" Dominic asked, rather intrigued by Nathan's behavior.
"Not particularly. But I don't wish to have any more bad guys to be at your side and I don't want you to get hurt anymore." said Nathan, with a sincere look.
"Hah... I understand your concern, but if you want to be my personal assistant, you can just let me know directly, why even bother to attend that interview and compete with everyone else?" Dominic asked.
"I need to let everyone know that I am capable of taking that task so that Brother Maria will let me take care of you at ease. Despite he is a bit exaggerated sometimes but he cares about you like I do, and believe Brother Chris is like that as well." said Nathan with a sincere tone.
"I see. Very well, I shall allow you to participate in that interview. I am looking forward to having you as my personal assistant." said Dominic as he patted Nathan's head with a smile...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Secret Base. Sky and Chris are staring at a fist-sized crystal ball that is properly placed on a small wooden stand.
"Ah... So, this is the top quality artificial life core we got from Dominic that day huh?" said Sky.
"Mhmm." Chris nodded.
"Hmm... I wondered how an angel got his hands on this item, did he even allow to use this thing?" Sky asked, rather curious.
"Well, I believe this might be a gift from other people but that's not our concern. I wondered if this would be able to sustain a life force that is equivalent to more than a thousand people's life force?" said Chris.
"Well, only one way to find out." said Sky with a shrug.
"Mmm... Ben, I leave the support to you." said Chris. Ben nodded and put up a magic balancing circle around Sky and Chris.
Then, both Sky and Chris placed their hands above the crystal ball and started infusing their life force into the crystal. Ben is watching over them and looks rather tense. As Sky and Chris infused their life force into the crystal, the crystal started glowing in pale green light.
They continued this process for about thirty minutes until a state that both Sky and Chris had shown obvious signs of fatigue. Noticing the seriousness of this situation, Ben immediately stopped them by forcibly blocking the outflow of their life force with his special magic.
"Ben, what are you doing? We are seventy-five percent done. Why are you stopping us?" Chris asked, he sounds a bit exhausted yet angry.
"Well, I believe the remaining twenty-five percent can wait for tomorrow. There are some good reasons for me to be the support for you two, one of them is to ensure that none of you would try to overexert yourself." said Ben with a firm attitude.
"Ah... Let's leave that for tomorrow I guess. It's not like Maria will going to make it back today anyway." said Sky with a shrug.
Chris sighed and have no choice but to compromise with it
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quill Town. Maria and Blair are busy with the interviews of chosen candidates from all over the place, but most of the candidates are not quite qualified for the recruitment just like the day before.
Suddenly, he spotted Nathan who is queuing up along with the others in the line.
"Little Nathan? What are you doing in that line? Are you here to help?" Maria asked. Nathan shook his head and show Maria an interview notification letter.
"You approved my application last night, I am here for the interview." said the boy in a serious tone.
"Heh?"

*Something out of the story
Sky: "Dear readers."
Chris: "Hmm?"
Sky: "This chapter is meant to be released for webnovel.com."
Chris: "Oh! This matter. Yes, if you're reading this chapter on another platform than webnovel.com, know that it's an illegal copy diffused without the Writer's authorization."
Sky: "As what Chris said. Right now, this story is free on the authorized platform, so please read it from authorized platforms as mental support for the writer."
Chris: "Mhm... There are two authorized platforms. One is webnovel.com. And another one is that messy and half-dead Weebly site that she uses for draft and backup... But not recommended."
Sky: "Ah... Haha. Yes, as Chris said."
Chris: "But look out, those scums might change this note to their own website link. So, be cautious.
Sky : "By the way, if the cover page is the old cover page that shows two stickmen, stop reading it, it's cursed and might caused the writer to stop writing."
