Countless shackles fixed the broken body, like a saint nailed to the stage. As the machine cut, the water injector on the side flowed out cleaning fluid to keep the cut of the holy silver clear.
Maxwell took out the data obtained from the previous inspection and explained it to Nikola bit by bit.
"Stronger muscles and stronger bones. It seems that this is related to the mysterious blood... It can be said that they are an optimized version of ordinary humans."
"Like some fucking super-soldier bio-experiment?"
There is no such thing as divinity. Nikolai explained the power of the witcher using the words he understood.
Maxwell thought about it, then affirmed.
"You're right. According to the information we have, we know that the secret blood is extracted by demons through a process called alchemy. In fact, if we compare it horizontally, the secret blood is like some kind of super soldier serum."
"But apparently, this stuff is more powerful than the super soldier serum we know about."
Nicholas gently stroked the surface of the holy silver. The silver-binding bolts in Ed's body completely melted after he broke through the critical value. The scalding holy silver directly burned his internal organs. Finally, the iron coffin made of holy silver completely sealed the secret blood in his body.
"Where does this holy silver come from?"
Nicholas observed that the metal was extending directly from Ed's body, as if someone was pouring liquid holy silver into his mouth.
"Inside him."
"in vivo?"
"Yes, according to the scavengers' report, when they recovered the demon hunter's body, the holy silver was in liquid form and continued to flow out of his flesh and blood."
Maxwell said as he took out the scavengers' report and put it aside.
"The holy silver and the secret blood coexist in the same body. We currently roughly guess that this is a restraint device, just like our original sin armor. The demon hunter may also lose control. Once out of control, the restraint device will be activated and completely destroy him from the inside."
Maxwell looked at the unrecognizable corpse and could even guess how tragically the demon hunter died.
The molten holy silver was released from the inside of the body, burning everything inside, but the powerful vitality brought by the secret blood could allow him to sustain for a period of time. He was unable to live or die, and gradually died in this painful torture.
Nicholas did not seem to have expected such an outcome. He had thought that the demon hunter was killed by the weapon made of holy silver, but he had never thought that the cause of his death would be due to himself.
"So have you extracted the secret blood?"
"The holy silver has completely cast his internal organs into a block of silver, and the blood inside must have been mixed with the metal."
Maxwell stated his inference.
"This should be the Demon Hunter Cult's confidentiality measure. The melted holy silver completely destroyed the Demon Hunter's internal organs. Even if the secret blood remained, it would be mixed with the metal. They should have a special extraction process to separate it, but we don't know."
"Is that so?"
Nicholas couldn't help but feel a headache. The Purifiers had tried to replicate the Secret Blood technology a long time ago, but always ended in failure. Now they had obtained the corpse of a demon hunter, but they didn't have the key to open this treasure.
