Greatest Legacy of the Magus Universe-Chapter 480: Treasure Trove
Chapter 480: Treasure Trove
Adam moved onto the male corpse, his eyes flicking between the specimen before him and the parchment paper hovering beside him.
His voice echoed softly in the laboratory, carrying with it a scholarly vibe.
"Hmm, very interesting," he began, carefully extracting a muscle from the werewolf.
"The muscle mass is significantly denser compared to his female counterpart. Ah, I see, the male's physique is geared more toward brute strength and endurance.
"While the female werewolf's musculature was slightly less robust, it exhibited a remarkable flexibility and speed. This suggests a different form of prowess."
His battle with both the werewolves was extremely short-lived. He had killed them without them being able to even retaliate. Thus, he didn't know how they truly fought.
However, upon experimenting on their corpses, he was able to surprisingly deduce their method of fighting.
He then moved toward the ribcage, the silver scalpel in his hand cutting across with great precision. "The male's ribs are thicker and more pronounced, providing enhanced protection for the vital organs. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
"On the other hand, the female's rib cage was slightly more delicate. This indicates greater lung capacity, possibly supporting higher levels of stamina in the werewolf state."
He paused for a moment and wiped his hands with a simple cleaning spell. He unfastened the gourd from his waist and took a large swig of the wine within.
Savoring the flavor for a few moments, he willed the lotus to clear his mind before he began delving deeper into the abdominal cavity.
"There are subtle variations in the hormonal glands. Hmm, very interesting... The male's adrenaline glands are larger, likely contributing to a higher production of adrenaline during combat.
"The female's, on the other hand, although smaller, showed evidence of a unique hormone that seems to accelerate healing."
He paused his actions for a few moments, thinking to himself, If I can find a way for the female's hormonal glands to produce this unique hormone artificially, perhaps I can use it as a special ingredient for healing potions...
Adam then carefully extracted a sample of blood from the male werewolf and stored it inside a crystal vial. Holding it up to the light, he observed it intently.
"The blood comparison also varies slightly." He glanced at the other crystal vial that contained the blood from the female werewolf.
He focused his Sphere of Resonance and observed everything down to the minute blood cells. "The male's blood is richer in certain proteins that enhance muscle repair and strength.
"On the other hand, the female's blood has an increased concentration of certain enzymes that appear to boost agility and rapid response."
His eyes narrowed and he added, "The existence of this mysterious venom can be found in the male's blood sample as well. Could this be hereditary?"
Adam placed the crystal vials on the table beside him and wondered, "Could this venom be the main factor that allows them to go through the transformation? Whatever it is, the answer can only be found in the blood!"
He paced around the table, thinking to himself with a solemn expression, Experimenting on the blood would consume a lot of time and effort.
Thankfully, the wolves won't be active until the next night of the full moons. The kids should also be busy with the missions I've handed out to them.
I've also instructed those two Acolytes to look after them so there should be no problems.
Regardless, I must hurry and return to Stratford as soon as possible!
He walked back to the metal table, his eyes flashing with palpable excitement. "Now, the brain!"
The youth gently lifted the skull cap and continued, "The male's amygdala-the mass of grey matter inside each cerebral hemisphere, involved with the experiencing of emotions-is slightly larger.

"This indicates heightened aggression and dominance behaviors. The female's brain, while also showing aggression, has a more developed hippocampus. This suggests a superior ability for memory and strategic planning."
He stepped back and thought to himself, But the female appeared to be in a quite frenzied state when I clashed with her. Could it be the influence of the twin moons?
Hmm, I should write to Elrick about sending me books related to werewolves, their relationship to the moons, and lunar magic.
I can't overlook the fact that the appearance of the werewolves is always on the night of the full moons. This is a very strange occurrence.
Adam then shifted his attention back to the corpses on the table. His experimentation in regards to the werewolves' anatomy was mostly done.
Now, all he needed to do was delve deeper into the secrets that their blood carried. And then,
there was also that mysterious venom that he found in the blood.
This venom gave him a very foreboding feeling for some reason.
Adam's lips gradually curled up into a grin as he looked at the werewolves. While others might see them as grotesque corpses, for him, it was a treasure trove.
"Hahaha, these organs and other body parts are perfect material components for certain spells! Not to mention, their uses in herbalism!"
He placed the two hearts into a glass jar filled with a preserving fluid. "The heart of the werewolf is a special material that can be used for potions of strength and endurance. The vitality it can provide is astounding!"
Next, he paid attention to the lungs. With expert hands, he removed the organs and added, "Lungs that have breathed both the air of man and beast."
He had a thoughtful expression on his face as he continued, "I can use them to brew potions that enhance breathing, perhaps. They can also be used for vocal spells that replicate the wolf's howl."
Adam then extracted the livers, an organ rich with transformative properties, and carefully stored them. "The liver, purifier of blood, can enhance healing potions and even antidotes." "Eyes that see in the dark," he mumbled as he removed the eyes. "Perfect material components for night-vision spells. This should come in handy."
He then continued with the nails, cutting them free and placing them on a tray. "They will serve well in casting spells from the School of Alteration.
"If I recall correctly, there was a Rank 2 Spell in the memories of an expert that transformed the caster's hands to that of a werewolf's!"
Finally, he extracted all the blood from both the corpses. By the time, he was done with them, barely anything remained of the two werewolves.
He gazed at the large amount of crimson liquids in the wide array of crystal jars. His eyes shone with a mix of satisfaction and anticipation as he began his next round of experiments. "Blood that binds the dual nature of man and beast. I wonder what secrets you hold..."
