"Magnificent!" Newton commented as he saw the body of a superior vampire for the first time in his life.
Looking closely at the corpse lying on a metal table, Newton couldn't help but touch one of the creature's arms and feel the firmness of the vampire's skin.
"It's like the books say. A superior vampire has no equal. His skin is like a living shield!" He murmured while Vicente and four other specialists from the Fuller family stood there with him in that area of the residence.
"Yes, it's a magnificent creature when dead. Alive, they're rather dangerous." Vicente smiled as he saw Newton's curious side taking over this specialist.
Newton was a doctor, alchemist, poison specialist, and tamer. He knew exactly how valuable every part of this vampire's body was to magicians and beasts, with an even deeper level of knowledge than Vice had.
But almost everything he had learned had been from books. He and the others there had never been able to study a vampire's body.
Vicente understood the sparkle in the man's eyes but had no time to waste.
"I called you here to help me dismember this creature without running the risk of ruining the parts of his body that are interesting to us." He said as he looked at the alchemist, the doctor, the enchanter, and Benson, who was also standing nearby.
Newton then said. "We should start by draining his blood. As much as popular belief says that vampires don't have heartbeats and, therefore, no blood, this is not the case.
Because they feed on blood, such creatures have blood in their veins. However, there is less blood in him than there would be in a magician of the same weight."
"He must have between 2 and 3 liters of blood," the other doctor said, nodding his head affirmatively.
"How do we collect that?" Benson asked.
Newton looked at the doctor who actually practiced that profession and pointed at the middle-aged man. "That will be Mr. Withers' job. He'll just need a container to hold the blood and a special liquid to press the vampire's blood out of the body."
The man had brought his medical bag, so as soon as Newton said that, he began to take what he would need and put it on the table where the corpse lay.
Newton said to Vicente. "You'll have to create needles capable of penetrating the vampire's skin. None of us have the material or the strength to do that."
Vicente then followed Newton's recommendations and quickly made two needles compatible with Withers' materials and let the man set up the equipment to drain the vampire's blood.
"Boss, you'll have to puncture this vein and this other one here." Withers showed Vicente where the embalming fluid would enter and where the valuable superior vampire blood would leave the body.
Vicente then did what he was supposed to, carefully puncturing the veins of that corpse while following Newton and Withers' instructions.
In less than a minute, the vampire's blood began to fill Withers' 4-liter bottle.
As Withers carried out the procedure under their observation, Newton said. "The next stage is exfoliation. His skin can be used to coat weapons, armor, clothes, you name it.
You'll have to cut him at the points I'm marking, Vicente. It will be easier to remove his tough skin at these points." Newton used a brush to mark specific places.
After three minutes, the vampire's blood had finished flowing out of his body, counting 2.4 liters of black liquid.
Then Vicente did what he was supposed to, quickly skinning the larger parts of the vampire's body until he had removed around 10 kilos of skin, which he would divide between him, Benson, and the enchanter there to produce items for the family.
Moving on, Newton and the doctor again instructed him on where to cut so as not to hit any organs and give them room to collect the vampire's organs.
Vampires had very similar anatomy to magicians.
They had a heart, which only functioned until the superior vampire matured. They also had a pancreas, kidneys, and stomach, but they didn't have an intestine. Even in childhood, superior vampires didn't poop. All the toxins in their bodies came out through their urine or, during level advancements, through the pores in their skin.
In addition to these common organs, they also had Ethereal Conduit, an organ responsible for carrying mana to all parts of the body; Mana Chamber, where mana was stored; Arcane Core, a small organ behind the vampire's Magic Gem; and also Power Nodes around their body.
Special magical beings, capable of using pentagrams, had all these special magical organs.
In addition to the organs that vampires had in common with magicians, there was also the Vampiric Gland, a gland found below the roots of the teeth of these creatures, but also in their stomachs. They also had the Night Gland, another special organ related to processing the blood of vampire victims.
All these organs and others, such as the brain, were highly valued in the production of pills and potions.
Newton and Withers worked together to remove each of them without damaging them until that body had only ordinary bones and muscles left in it.
"Sigh, now we just have to debone it." Said Newton while holding gloves smeared with a kind of wine-red goo, something natural inside vampire bodies.
The alchemist there stored all those organs that he would use to produce resources for the coming weeks and months while Vicente stopped by the two men responsible for dissecting that creature to help them again.
"Boss, this part is easy now. You intend to use its meat to feed the family beasts, right? We don't need to be careful. You just need to cut his muscles around his bones, and then we'll get his bones intact." Withers instructed as he pointed to Vicente.
So, in the next 10 minutes, they would finish removing everything they wanted from the body, getting 2.4 liters of blood, 10 kilos of skin, 39 kilos of internal organs, 48 kilos of muscles, and 30 kilos of bones.
Minos gave the parts of the vampire's body to each of the four professionals with him and Newton in that place so that they could produce whatever resources they could with those materials.
He kept only the blood, a few kilos of bones, and skin. The rest was divided disproportionately between the four individuals, with the alchemist High-level Mage taking the lion's share of the corpse.
Each of them had already been instructed by Vicente on what to do, so they soon split up on that property, where they would produce the resources for the family over the next few weeks.
Vicente said goodbye to Newton, giving the man 100 milliliters of vampire blood before dividing up the portions of blood that he would distribute among his men.
