Chapter 238: Faceless

15 Minsk Street, inside the damp, cold kitchen.

Klein searched out a newly bought large iron pot, filled it with clean water, and carefully scrubbed it several times.

Then he threw a few matches into the pot and snapped his fingers.

Crimson flames rose. Under his control, they rapidly dried the remaining water droplets without damaging the pot’s surface.

This time, the potion formula did not contain pure water as an ingredient, so Klein was more careful than the previous two times. He strove not to add any extra supplementary material, lest some serious problem occur.

Although he could divine whether the potion had been successfully concocted, and it would not endanger his life, the result of failure would be that the potion was wasted. Extracting the Beyonder characteristics from it again would be extremely difficult, like removing the mental corruption from someone who had lost control. It required corresponding techniques, methods, or rituals, and Klein had no way to gather a second set of materials in a short time.

After completing the preparations, he glanced at the neatly arranged boxes and took a breath, recalling the potion formula one final time.

“Faceless. Main ingredients: the mutated brain pituitary gland of a Thousand-faced Hunter; the characteristic of a Human-skinned Shadow. Supplementary ingredients: 80 milliliters of Thousand-faced Hunter blood, five drops of black mandrake juice, 10 grams of dragon-tooth grass powder, and three strands of Deep-sea Naga hair.”

He first picked up the cardboard box from the vampire Emlyn White, opened it, and took out the glass bottle containing 100 milliliters of Thousand-faced Hunter blood.

Glancing at the scale marks, Klein unscrewed the cap. With a steady wrist, he poured the viscous liquid that constantly changed color according to the light into the iron pot.

Because it was a supplementary material, he did not pursue extreme precision and did not use chemical experiment instruments to separate and titrate the liquid.

The Thousand-faced Hunter’s blood was like thin honey, slowly filling the bottom layer of the iron pot. Once Klein felt it was about enough, he stopped tilting the bottle and allowed the liquid to flow back.

There’s roughly 20 milliliters left. My spiritual intuition is quite accurate… Klein withdrew his gaze from the glass bottle’s scale marks and solemnly tightened the cap. Those 20 milliliters of Thousand-faced Hunter blood could be used to create mystical items, Beyonder weapons, supernatural scrolls, or to trace symbolic markings in certain ritual magic. It remained very precious.

After placing the glass bottle back into the cotton-filled cardboard box, Klein followed the order and successively added the black mandrake juice and dragon-tooth grass powder. He watched bubbles gurgle up inside the iron pot.

Without pause, he used his right hand in a black glove to pick up the three deep-blue strands of hair that resembled little snakes, steadily placing them on the surface of the liquid.

Sizzle!

A faint mist rose from the iron pot, and the liquid’s color turned deep blue.

Even before adding the main ingredients, there’s already such a wondrous effect… As expected of a Sequence 6 potion… Klein reached out and grabbed the grayish tin box with silver-white edges that the vampire Emlyn White had given him.

With a snap, Klein opened the lid, exposing the shell-stripped-walnut-like item inside.

He did not directly touch the mutated brain pituitary gland of the Thousand-faced Hunter. Instead, he placed the tin box above the iron pot and overturned it.

The yellowish-brown item, with brain-like ridges and grooves, fell and collided with the deep-blue liquid.

At that moment, no drop of liquid splashed. The pituitary gland, whose shape constantly changed, melted soundlessly.

Grayish white and yellowish brown swiftly fused with the deep blue. The gurgling bubbles suddenly grew larger and more numerous.

At this step, Klein…
