McCarthy said, "And even if you can extract Ancient Creature Bloodlines from the Cat-girls, they've mutated far too much.
"Unless, like me, you can find ancient fossils, extract the pheromone information carried by Negative Energy Particles from them, and then use that information to further modify the purified Ancient Creature Bloodline."
McCarthy boasted, "But Ancient Creature Bloodlines truly are powerful. They possess many abilities that modern Magic Creatures lack, and some of those abilities are so bizarre that wizards have never even seen them."
"For example, the Archaeopteryx Bloodline within me gave me powerful Archaeopteryx Bone Claws with spellbreaking properties."
"From what little I currently understand, this world once experienced a massive biological extinction. After that extinction, the so-called modern Magic Creatures lacked a certain special Ancient Creature Bloodline factor compared to ancient Magic Creatures. Those special Ancient Creature Bloodline factors were what made those ancient creatures so incredibly powerful."
McCarthy guessed, "Of course, this is merely my personal speculation. I'm not a Potion Master, and I don't truly understand this field. I don't know much about those special factors."
"In short, I believe that ancient Magic Creatures, and even ancient magical flora and fauna, suddenly went extinct as a group at some point. Their surviving descendants underwent collective degradation more than once. So I think ancient Magic Creatures may have been the result of external interference at some stage. A special bloodline factor appeared in the natural environment and strengthened them all at once..."
