Khan had long since lost count of how many times he had improved the [Blood Shield]. He had pushed the alien technique checkpoint after checkpoint, constantly adjusting it to his body's growth. He had mastered that process, engraving it into his brain, but the current situation put him in a pickle.
Finding the right material was the first hurdle in improving the alien technique. The [Blood Shield] required something stronger than the previous sample, often forcing Khan to create it from worse materials.
After all, monsters as strong as high-level warriors weren't exactly up for sale, and places like Senerth were rare. Most times, Khan had to slowly and carefully upgrade weaker chunks of flesh to meet the technique's requirements. He had always succeeded, and the [Blood Shield] had remained his best defensive ability since Nitis.
