Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!
chapter-644

Tatjana's scream resounded through the territory center, attracting the attention of the hard-working subjects nearby.

They stared in the same direction in surprise and confusion, unsure what was going on. The training grounds were on the other side, and even the wounded warriors didn't scream that loudly, no matter how serious their injuries were.

However, Tatjana Moiaralin was different. She wasn't fighting anyone.

Her body temperature was rising as the cells within her body were repetitively destroyed and healed. The temperature increased until Tatjana felt like she was about to collapse and die at any moment. It was only a matter of time before she would succumb to her ill fate.

Upgrading her bloodline using the Bloodline Upgrade Token had been a long and arduous task. To stimulate the Bloodline Upgrade Token, Tatjana had to spread out several layers of Inferior Energy Stones and take a bath in a bathtub filled with Nutrient Solutions.

Her bloodline upgrade didn't consume as many resources as Extraction's upgrade to 7-Star, but her need for resources was still higher than anticipated.

Siegfried Dracoon mentioned the bloodline upgrade wouldn't be that painful. However, pain didn't have a proper measurement. It was not possible to scale it like this. Some people, like Siegfried Dracoon, were good at enduring pain. Something that hurt others might not be that bad for someone like the Immortal Knight.

Then again, it was pretty obvious that the latent potential of everyone's bloodline was slightly different. For some beings, it was easier to upgrade their bloodline, while it was harder for others. For Tatjana, the young Forest Elf of the Grandmaster Beasttamer family, it was very painful.

She was crying and screaming for several hours until she was too tired to continue. Her voice ceased and she slumped into a state between being half-awake and unconscious. The pain that coursed through her body intensified, yet Tatjana could only feel a fraction of it.

Time passed rapidly and before she knew it, Tatjana found herself in a bed. The drained Energy Stones and the bathtub were no more.

"Did I pass out?" She mumbled, rubbing her itching eyes. It hurt, "Ow…"

Tatjana's eyes were very sensitive to touches right now. Even channeling cooling origin energy into them wasn't as comfortable as it ought to be. However, Tatjana ignored the discomfort of inserting energy into her eyes as she realized something. Her vision changed. Something was different than it used to be!

She jumped up from the bed, ignoring the young Forest Elf, who had been taking care of her, and dashed out of the room. She jumped down the flight of stairs and rushed past Lilica, Opars, and Mika. The three Forest Elven Adventurers found Tatjana and carried her to the wooden manor when she collapsed in the bathtub.

They didn't know what was happening at first, but Tiara explained the situation soon after. It was a surprise that Michael managed to purchase another Bloodline Upgrade Token. Most people would never sell such a treasure for cheap.

Lilica and the others doubted that Michael was that wealthy, and they began to wonder if their Lord continued to sell Soultrait Symbols to his people.

Michael had been certain that he wouldn't sell any Soultrait Symbols for the time being. However, Lilica and everyone who had been around Michael for a while knew that he showed no hesitation to do everything necessary to strengthen his subjects and help them unleash their full potential.

"I guess she managed to awaken the Eyes of Evolution," Opars mumbled, his gaze following the excited bunny, aka Tatjana Moiaralin.

Mika got up with a smile, "It would have been weird if her Eyes of Evolution didn't awaken after using the Bloodline Upgrade Token, 854 Inferior Energy Stones, and 531 Nutrient Solutions!"

"You counted? Are you serious?" Lilica scowled at the young Forest Elf, who flinched as if he had been caught stealing candy.

"M-maybe?" Mika shook his head, "I…don't know what you're talking about." He turned away and followed Tatjana outside the wooden manor, "Either way! Let's follow Opars' 'little bunny' and see what her Eyes of Evolution are capable of."

Since Forest Elves were known for holding their ancestry in high regard, it was no surprise that Lilica, Opars, Mika, and the vast majority of Forest Elven Summons had heard about the Moiaralin family.

The Moiaralin family was decently well-known among the Forest Elven tribe. They were one of the oldest families of the Old Regime and were both feared and loved for their innate ability to raise powerful monsters and the ability to see the potential and evolution paths of monsters.

As long as a monster possessed enough potential, the Moiaralin family would be able to turn it into a mighty beast.

Over countless centuries, the Moiaralin family developed into a large-scale family by adopting all Forest Elves with Taming Soultraits. They nourished the Taming Soultraits and helped the Forest Elven Awakened to find the most suitable companions – for a hefty price, of course.

The Moiaralin demanded a lot from the Awakened after helping them, and they threatened them by saying that they poisoned their companions and that they could trigger the poison at any time.

That was also part of the reason why Lilica and the others stayed away from Tatjana initially. Forest Elves might hold their ancestry in high regard, but they were also petty and avoided those who harmed their tribe in the past. The Moiaralin family of the Old Regime was like that. They aided the Forest Elves' progress for several centuries, only to go down the wrong path…the path of greed and arrogance.

They desired to become the sole rulers of the Forest Elven tribe and to annex the tribes that had been daring enough to invade their lands for millennia. Their attempts to change the ruling system failed. The Moiaralin family crumbled and perished…but not without leaving mountains of corpses behind.

Entire forests were burned down by the Moiaralin family's tamed monsters, forcing millions of Forest Elves to delve deeper into the woods. They lost their homes, and a big portion of their territory before the Moiaralin family and their companions were finally stopped…at the expense of countless powerhouses.

The fall of the Moiaralin family happened more than 700 years ago, but the aftermath of their betrayal and uncontrollable greed affected the Forest Elven tribe even now.

These aftermaths were not only reflected in the small population of the Forest Elves but also in the lack of resources. Forest Elves weren't aggressive by nature and they didn't initiate wars on their own, under normal circumstances. Their lifespans were longer than the lifespan of ordinary Elves, but the downside of their prolonged lifespan was increased difficulties in bearing offspring.

The Moiaralin's actions resulted in the loss of massive pieces of land, the death of countless innocent Forest Elves, and weakened defenses. The Forest Elves' enemies, even though there weren't many, used the opportunity and struck hard. The Forest Elven tribe was pushed closer to the brink of destruction. It was a miracle that they survived.

Therefore, the Forest Elves had sworn to eliminate the Moiaralin family members if they were to summon them in the Origin Expanse. The Forest Elves didn't want to repeat the mistakes they'd committed in the outside world.

Lilica and the others considered killing Tatjana, but it was quite obvious that the young Legendary Summon hadn't been tarnished. She was probably one of the oldest members of the Moiaralin family, one of the few members who had never sinned. At least, that was what Lilica and the other Forest Elves sensed after they talked with Tatjana a little bit.

There was no need to kill Tatjana Moiaralin. The situation was not the same as it had been when Michael summoned Cleave Fenrir. Tatjana was of no danger, whereas it had been the complete opposite with Cleave Fenrir.

Tatjana dashed through the Untamed Jungle, channeling a large amount of origin energy into her eyes. She ignored the increasing discomfort in her eyes and focused on the Bilrox, Greater Eagles, the Heavy Armored Elephant, Stinger, and the other monsters residing in the territory.

"I can see their Evolution Paths and potential!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, her cheery voice reverberating through the Untamed Jungle.

At last, Tatjana could see the evolution paths and potential of the monsters around her.

Finally, she was not useful anymore. She could grow stronger and stretch out a helping hand to strengthen Michael's territory as well!
