This Holy Blood Remained Pure After Millions of Years!

Byron was a professional, after all. Once his brief shock passed, he quickly grasped the heart of the matter.

"He has a natural resistance, but to contain that much poison, he must be using the Demon Hunters' Black Blood System."

"In other words, his Toxic Blood is bound to his Demon-Hunting Form, right?"

Greenfire came to his senses, sat up, and nodded. "That's more or less what Klaus thought."

"So my plan is to use a drug to lock down his Demon Hunter Characteristic."

"As long as he can't transform, he can't activate his Toxic Blood."

Byron rubbed his chin and considered it. "Mm. That's not far from what I had planned."

"Arkham's condition probably has nothing to do with Black Sun's Wings. The Moon Spirit's hair simply elevated his Beyonder Characteristic."

Byron read through the record carefully. After confirming that it was complete, with nothing missing, altered, or pieced together, he set the hide scroll down.

Greenfire nodded with a grin. "My job's done. How's your investigation coming along?"

Byron snorted. "I'm nothing like you
