BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

"What do you mean, they have two brain crystal powers?" Caiden asked.

"Exactly what I'm saying. I can give them more brain crystal powers; hence, the best thing to do would be to collect as many brain crystals and thaids blood as you can and store them so that I can then give them to the clones."

"That's a lot of work to do," Benedict said. "But regardless, can you explain how this works? I can understand the brain crystal, but why the blood?"

They were all curious to learn about this. Erik never shared the details of how the biological supercomputer worked, and they were curious.

"I need to eat the brain crystal and drink the blood because otherwise I can't get the power. The biological supercomputer analyzes the DNA through the blood, and the power through the brain crystal. That's putting it simply. Regardless, after i get all those powers, I need to merge the Chimaeric Demon brain crystal power with those new ones, and they will have those powers."

"Drink the blood?" Floyd said. "I'm not even a little bit envious." He had a disgusted face.

"Yeah," Erik said. "But I've grown used to it; don't worry."

"I still find it disgusting."

"That's all good and well," Caiden said.

"But if the Chimaeric Demons can use brain crystal powers, assuming they work like in humans' cases, it means they will start having few neural links. How will they be useful to us?"

Erik looked at Caiden, Amber's father. The man was smart; there was no doubt about it, as he inferred that the only weakness his new type of clones had was that they started having few neural links. That, and that their mana pool was low.

"That is true, but the new clones will have the same physical characteristics I had when I made them. This means they will be at least as strong as me. They will still have all my memories, so they will know how to fight. I can make 30 of such clones a day, but this means that in a week you will have 210 new powerful soldiers among your rank."

"You are forgetting the thirty you already made, Master."

"You made some already?" Mikey asked.

"I did."

"Besides, there is something else I didn't tell you." Again, everyone focused on Erik intently. He already said he just got the power to make an army of monsters; what was more to say? How many secrets and how many powers did Erik have?

"Whether you joined my guild, all of you got a neural link training technique that was more efficient than that used in Frant, right?"

Everyone nodded. "My men must have told you I was the one who developed it. That is, in fact, not correct. That is the technique that was used by Liberty Watch's people, but I asked the system to improve and modify it."

"Are you saying...?"

"I'm exactly saying that," Erik sighed.

"I may have asked the biological supercomputer to make other techniques, and well. The one I'm currently using is much, much more powerful than the one you are using. I don't know how good sharing this technique will be. In the wrong hands, it could create psychopaths, but... The situation is worsening, and I decided to share the technique with you all. In a month, my first batch of Chimaeric Demons will hatch. They won't already be at their full potential, but they will be able to teach each of you the technique."

"Why now? Why not months ago?" Becker asked.

"Because the situation is worsening..." Erik said. "The reason there is another mass migration within Frant is because the Blackguards are doing something in Mur that is pushing the thaids there from moving here on the Mannard continent. One particularly powerful flying thaid started living in the Eldraith mountain range; I saw it with my own eyes while it killed a black wyvern."

Erik watched as shock and worry crossed his friends' faces at the revelation. They all knew what kind of powerful creatures lurked near the Eldraith Mountains.

"Are we in danger?" Floyd asked. "Can this beast make its way here?"

Erik shook his head. "It can, but I doubt it will. It needs a massive amount of food to sustain its gigantic body; only the Eldraith Mountain range has it. But many thaids at the lower levels who lived in those areas are migrating west now. Liberty Watch is along their path."

Murmurs arose as the group processed this new threat.

"All right then..." Caiden said.

"If weaker thaids pass through, take them out before they become an issue. But focus our strengths on defense until my clones are ready to handle the most powerful ones."

The plan made sense.

Noah nodded in agreement.

"For now, daily patrols should stem smaller threats. If we organize well with Liberty Watch's citizens, this might be possible."

"There is one last thing I must tell you all," Erik said.

"Is this bad or good news?" Floyd asked.

"Does it matter?"

"It does."

"It's good, but it's also bad. I will let you decided what it is."

Erik sighed. Floyd didn't change a little since they went to school. "The Hevadrin I fought," the Nexthorn Vanguard's guild master said. "That thing had 57 neural links."

"It had what?"

"You heard that right. 57 neural links."

"How do you know that?" Becker asked. "It's another perk of the biological supercomputer," June said. "Just trust him on this."

"Are you sure about this?" Caiden asked.

"I am. And here is the point: the description the biological supercomputer gave about the Chimaeric Demon brain crystal power is that they can get an infinite amount of neural links. But I started thinking after learning about the number of neural links held by the Hevadrin. What if 54 neural links had never been a limit? What if that limit was just because we humans didn't have a good technique to make more of them?"
