Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 2966

Raiden sneered. "Everyone tells me the same thing, but Wyrmhelm, Reginald, and Kaelen, along with the vampire prince, Draven Frost, have all been extremely eager. Aside from Reginald, who isn't greedy for what's inside? Every one of them is an invader, waiting to carve up the last pristine land.

"The Ludendorff family will not fall behind! Alonzo, you only need to hold on until the entrance to the sacred realm is opened! At that time, the Cathedral's focus will shift over there. Mephiston hasn't made a move because he has the same plan. It seems like he's sweeping the wilderness, but in reality, his target is the Veiled Paradise!"

Alonzo let out a long breath. "In that case, I can finally rest easy. If we're really attacked fiercely by Kass, I truly worry that the Ludendorff family will suffer defeat after defeat in the wilderness."

Raiden snorted. "The art of politics lies in balance. Once the fighting is about done and enough momentum has been spread, the Cathedral will naturally withdraw. If they don't leave, the major progenitors of the Dark Clans will not sit idly by. If the Ludendorff family falls, the next step will be wiping out those dark clans, and no one will walk away unscathed."

Alonzo asked, "As for Garal's Abyss City, who should we send there?"

Raiden replied, "Handle such a small matter yourself. Just do not send that useless Cyril. His recent failures have disappointed me greatly."

Alonzo looked embarrassed. Soon after, he assigned another martial god from the Ludendorff family instead.

In Warwick City, Andrew stared at the werewolf heart before him with a deep frown. It was larger than two fists combined,

Knox commented in a strange tone, "You're not seriously going to eat that thing, are you? Be careful, you might poison yourself."

Juno said coldly, "Shut up, Knox! You talk too much."

Nyx shook her head. "Andrew, a werewolf's heart is unlike a blood core. A blood core condenses all the essence of a vampire duke and is much purer. However, a werewolf's heart is extremely poisonous. The werewolf race is naturally a venomous species. If you attempt to break through to the martial god level by swallowing its heart, I'm afraid you'll die from the poison."

As he spoke, Andrew flipped his hand and took out another blood core.

Knox was stunned. "Hey, are you seriously planning to consume Giuliano's blood core as well? Andrew, you're just breaking through to the martial god level, not trying to achieve immortality. Listen to me: you can't handle this."

Andrew grinned. "It's just in case. For some reason, when I see a vampire's core and a werewolf's heart together, I feel a strong urge to devour them."

The others all showed the same expression, as if they were staring at a monster. Eating a vampire blood core and a werewolf heart raw was something they neither dared to do nor even imagine.

However, Andrew truly felt the urge to consume them. After careful thought, he realized it was connected to Valerius's legacy from the Wraith Graveyard.
