The Mage Master was actually an old woman living in a small cottage on the less developed area of the Southern Residential Area, she lived deep in the woods, far away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Two people from the church had come to visit, one was Nicole, the same clergy who had said that Luke was a Demi-Human and the other clergy was Joham, a middle aged man and the third person was actually the handsome man who'd fought Luke. Knock* Knock* An old woman with a wrinkly face and strands of grey hair opened the door and smiled at the guests but her smile was toothless. “Ah, it's always a pleasure when guests from the church come to visit, please come in, come in.” said the old woman as she gestured to the three people to enter her house. Inside, her furniture was simple, nothing luxurious or expensive. “Please, have a seat while I prepare some tea and biscuits for you,” said the old woman. “Madam Celda, we're here on some very important business so we don't have time to drink tea or eat your biscuits. We came to trade these samples to you in exchange for information.” said the handsome man. “Oh Kyle, your attitude hasn't changed even after all these years. That's why you'll never advance to peak Trinity Master nor will you enter the preliminary stage of Hexads. But I can help you, your Archer skills are exquisite but your Mana is extremely lacking, it's what's holding you back. Just one experiment from me and…” “Sister Nicole, please give her the samples to inspect.” said Kyle, not wanting to hear another word from the old woman. When Nicole took out multiple bottles from her storage ring and placed them on the table, the old woman wasn't the slightest bit interested but she still went out of her way to inspect the samples. One bottle was full of black fur, the second bottle had pieces of meat and bones and the third bottle contained blood, very thick blood. Madam Celda's eyes glowed in a bright blue colour as she inspected each sample. “There's nothing special about the fur so take it back. As for the other two, further tests have to be done.” she said as a slice of meat appeared in the palm of her hand but she didn't get the results she wanted so another slice of meat appeared in her palm and this time, there was finally a reaction. The flesh jumped up and down inside the bottle whereas the blood started boiling. Madam Celda then sliced the meat into tiny pieces and put them inside the two glass containers. The flesh stuck to the meat like glue whereas the blood engulfed the piece of meat. In just a few minutes, the pieces of meat she'd thrown in were completely devoured. The flesh sample looked invigorated, full of energy and vitality and the blood had gotten even more thicker and nutritious. “Where did you get this?” Madam Celda asked, her eyes full of interest and curiosity as she continued to analyse the two samples. “It was obtained from a Demi-Human, either a Magic Wolf Variant or a Kobold Variant, we're also not sure.” Nicole responded. “A Magic Wolf or a Kobold Variant? Interesting, very interesting. Let me see what exactly you look like.” said Madam Celda as she snapped her fingers. All three glass bottles opened and the samples floated out, fused together and in no time, had created a miniature version of Luke in his Werewolf Form. The miniature version exuded pressure above the Trinity stage, instead, it was a pressure from a Quad Ring Master. “Amazing,” softly muttered Madam Celda. “How is this possible?!” exclaimed Kyle. “What's wrong?” Joham finally spoke up in his deep voice. “When I fought him, his strength and speed was that of a 3 Star Trinity Master, why is the pressure released by this clone that of a Quad Master?” BAAANG!!! The clone suddenly exploded but the explosion was contained and the blood tainted only the sphere it was contained within. “What happened?” Nicole asked. “It seems any attempt to clone this creature will lead to these explosions. As for why the clone was stronger
