Come to think of it, was Elsa's supernatural rank related to the spirituality contained in her flesh and blood?
She was First Rank now, and her resurrection required dozens of portions of supernatural material.
If she reached Second Rank, she would most likely need more. After all, these supernatural materials were used to reconstruct her body.
Then the effects of Maeve eating a First Rank Elsa and a Second Rank Elsa ought to be different, too.
"No, I can't keep thinking about eating Elsa!" Elliot took a deep breath. "Elsa has done so much for the Society. Eating her corpse on top of that would be far too inhumane!"
But if they didn't eat Elsa, where else could they find flesh and blood imbued with supernatural power?
Hmm, thinking it over carefully, the corpses infected with Mad Rat Disease that the Circle of Vitas had been trafficking seemed to be flesh and blood imbued with supernatural power. Following that line of thought, who had bought those corpses? Were there more "Maeves" gaining power by eating that flesh and blood? Remembering how the Circle of Vitas had manufactured plagues, Elliot couldn't help feeling a little heavyhearted.
Once this turmoil passed, he would continue investigating that organization. He couldn't just let them off!
It seemed buying that flesh and blood wouldn't work either. That would surely give rise to more plague outbreaks.
Aside from those, where else could he find the flesh and blood of supernatural people?
Perhaps... the Ruins?
Under the Red Moon in the Ruins, [it] would transform into monsters. The flesh and blood of those monsters would definitely contain supernatural power.
But the key problem now was that he couldn't find the Ruins anymore.
Although Elsa's corpse was in the Ruins, that couldn't help him pinpoint their exact location.
