Chapter 3230 Is There Still Hope
At that moment, it finally dawned upon Levi and the others how powerful Azure Dragon and the others’ spiritual bones were.
It was the same reason why Azure Dragon would be in terrible circumstances.
There was no way they could be unharmed by now.
“However, there’s still hope!” Sonja suggested.
When Levi and the others were all ears, they asked Sonja anxiously, “What do you mean? Do we still have time?”
Sonja nodded. “Mmm-hmm… Even though the five of them possess an elemental spiritual bone each, one needs to amalgamate all five of them together for maximum effect. This isn’t a process that Ecclesiastic Order can achieve. In fact, more than ninety percent of people can’t do it.
“Nevertheless, it doesn’t mean that everyone will fail, for there are still those who can. Such powerful figures have long identified the elemental spiritual bones. However, they have yet to take action because they are still figuring out the amalgamation process. After all, it’s an extremely complex procedure.
“There are a lot of sacrifices to be made in the process of transplanting the spiritual bone, which by itself is a forbidden technique. To transplant one’s spiritual bone to another is the equivalent of transplanting one’s talent. Not only does the process require a lot of luck, one has to pay a price that commensurates with it. Consequently, few know of this forbidden technique, and those who do so are called Bonemasters.”
Within Ecclesiastic Order, most of the factions would have someone like that within their ranks. They were rarely used, but it didn’t mean that they didn’t exist.
“Even then, transplanting spiritual bones isn’t an easy task for the Bonemasters. Firstly, they need a high-quality severance dagger, which is required to dig the spiritual bone out. As for the rest of the tools, all of them are equally rare. On top of that, there’s still a lot of preparatory work needed.
“Most importantly, the elemental spiritual bones are not located in a single person. Instead, they are distributed across the bodies of five individuals. Just digging them out is an arduous task by itself. And to perfectly amalgamate them together in order to transplant them into someone else significantly increases the complexity.
“In a nutshell, it’s a million times more difficult than transplanting a spiritual bone. Therefore, a lot of time is needed to carry out the process which inadvertently gives us hope!”
Sonja explained the matter in the shortest time possible.
As a result, everyone was made aware that there was still hope. All they had to do was try their best to find Azure Dragon and the rest.
Even if they were in the midst of the transplant, the spiritual bones were no longer the priority. What mattered was that Azure Dragon and the group were all alive.
That was the best news Levi had heard so far.
It’s good to know that there’s still hope. We should search with greater urgency!
At that moment, something occurred to Magnus, driving him to remark, “But they are—”
He had wanted to describe the group’s origins but had his mouth covered by Sonja.
“It’s nothing. Let’s hurry up with our search now,” Sonja urged.
Luckily, Levi and the others didn’t notice Magnus, causing Sonja to heave a sigh of relief.
When Magnus and the other two exchanged glances, a sense of understanding flashed across their faces. They knew that they couldn’t reveal the identity of Azure Dragon’s captors.
After all, that was considered one of Ecclesiastic Order’s secrets.
Meanwhile, Levi didn’t notice what was going on with the rest, for he was focused on finding Azure Dragon and the others.
“This group of men has left traces of their auras. As long as I can pick them up again, I would definitely be able to find them!” Levi declared.
“However, the traces are still too faint. Furthermore, considering how big this place is, we don’t even know where to start.”
Even though Sonja and her companions could detect the auras too, they still had no idea where to start searching.
“I can do it, for I’m extremely sensitive to such auras and energy waves. Let me try…”
With that, Levi stood still and began to initiate his senses to pick up any auras that were still around.
In the blink of an eye, his senses began to emanate outward.
