Chapter 639: Chapter 319: Enchantment Creation (Part 2)

The Oktos Academy’s research into developing Magic Guides considered the inheritance of demons for students, thus solidifying this capability.

Li Ang hadn’t tried it yet, and instead, it was Meimei, who had once enhanced this profession to teach it, who was more adept at its use. Of course, she was initially at the Excellence Realm, had lived another life, and wasn’t restricted by her original swordsman’s experience, being a genius with the Water’s Favor; achieving such feats was no surprise.

In choosing this profession, apart from believing it suited Meimei, Li Ang also considered his own needs. Even if the number of magics was numerous, he could only cast one at a time unless he mastered the ability of Multi Casting, but demons could serve as auxiliary aid outside of oneself.

Li Ang currently didn’t have ready-made demons from others, but he could create them.

The demons of the Magic Guide required the spirituality and materials from some powerful beings to imitate these existences in creating small entities. He hadn’t crafted any previously due to lack of direct exposure to these entities, but now things were different.

He hadn’t examined the relic shell obtained after slaying Fafnir yet.

This wyrm dragon, apart from Nidhogg, could be said to be the strongest, even though its attack was swift and unexpected, preventing a full Legendary level manifestation, but its innate state was Level 9.

However, the materials left behind now are only Tier 8, due to the world’s rules.

Without an innate barrier granting concept-level power, anything only reaches Tier 8. This dragon had a highly coordinated magic power and spirituality, making its body concept-level strong throughout, but most of its spirituality fled, leaving the body like a relic shell.

Nevertheless, the remaining spirituality and magic power were still abundant, making it top-level Tier 8 material without doubt.

Li Ang assessed its "Diamond Corrosive Poison Claw" and "Regenerative Insect Body," contemplating its use, while the Leviathan, hovering in a bubble beside him, sent him a message.

What are you going to do?

I’m going to make a demon with these materials. Li Ang replied.

What’s a demon? The little sea dragon tilted her head curiously, her pink fins swaying in the water.

Li Ang explained to the little dragon. After listening, she flicked her tail and sent a message to Li Ang: If possible, it’s better not to do that.

Why?

Before Leviathan could answer, Li Ang started pondering, wondering if a demon of this form would alert the demon dragon.

Leviathan sent a mental message saying: If its form is Fafnir, the body is Fafnir’s remains, and the magic power and spirituality also belong to Fafnir, then it’s Fafnir, isn’t it?

Yes, that’s correct. Li Ang responded to her, saying that creating a demon is essentially about imitating powerful existences to construct a weakened form.

But Fafnir is a demon dragon, and an exceptionally powerful one at that.

Leviathan twisted in the water, turning in a circle.

Exceptionally powerful demon dragon...

The little sea dragon’s intellect was just awakening, and her words were somewhat childlike, unable to form complex language. Li Ang pondered her meaning and tentatively asked.

Are you saying that if I create it this way, it will make a Fafnir clone? Or directly draw its spirituality from the magic power dimension?

Yes, it will know, as it has become a part of the world, unique and distinct, and if it disallows it, it will resent you.

A part of the world...

Li Ang further asked: by a part of the world, does it mean it has deeply mastered the laws?

Yes.

This was understandable, but the concepts of "unique" and "distinct" were temporarily unclear to the little dragon; Li Ang couldn’t think of a good perspective to grasp it since he hadn’t reached Legendary himself, not having much insight into his Level 9 profession’s domain.

Akuya wasn’t around either, having wandered off somewhere, leaving Li Ang without anyone to consult, causing the idea of creating a Fafnir demon to be temporarily abandoned.

He put the demon dragon materials away, stood up, and thought about what to do next.

Why is Li Ang leaving? Leviathan asked.

I can’t make it a demon, so I have to consider other things for cultivation.

If you can’t make a Fafnir, make one of me.

Make you?

Indeed, Leviathan was also a powerful being, though she was still slowly recovering her strength.

But, creating a demon requires the spirituality and magic power from the target, and I can’t just—

While Li Ang was conveying his thoughts to Leviathan, she had already leaned down to pluck a scale from herself.

This scale appeared like polished glass, with a splendid redness and a deep blue. Being in the juvenile stage, its overall hue was a delicate pink, very beautiful.

The little sea serpent sent the scale out of the water ball, and despite leaving the water, it remained surrounded by streams of water.

Detached from its controller, the power contained in the scale was unrestrained. Its magnitude wasn’t high because it only bore the magic power and spirituality of an initially reborn Sea Serpent Ancestor, but its level came from an originally nascent divine spirit of the world, encompassing the laws of the ocean within it.

Therefore, through it, Li Ang felt as if he could faintly perceive infinite crashing sea waves and bottomless ocean abysses, with the surrounding water seeming like a miniature marine panorama, extraordinary and divine.

"What is this—are you sure this is okay?"

Li Ang was deeply moved, yet concerned about Leviathan’s condition.

I’m fine, it just hurts a bit.

She had plucked a scale from those encircling the reversed scale on her neck, one that could be said to possess the greatest power apart from the reversed scale itself.

Li Ang gathered the healing water wave in his palm, extending it into the water ball to reach the sea serpent.

Leviathan tenderly leaned against his palm, coiling around it, conveying her cool and smooth touch along with the undulating water wave to Li Ang.

In their mental link, her response was as melodious and crisp as the sound of chimes.

Li Ang hadn’t expected that the first demon he would system-rear wouldn’t be a fluffy type; a normal person would pet cats, dogs, or beasts, but he was interacting with the world’s one and only sea serpent.

Feeling Leviathan’s intentions, Li Ang grasped her scale, preparing to make good use of it.

"Leviathan Scale"

"A scale willingly removed by the newly reborn Sea Serpent Ancestor, carrying concentrated dragon power and ocean strength; even when used to refine Dragon Factor, its yield would exceed a drop."

"Tier: 9"

"Spirituality: Create a water ’True Dragon’"

"Purpose: Equipment Creation [Treasure Level], Demon Breeding, Alchemy, Casting Materials, Energy Source Core"

Solely from the data, this scale wasn’t inferior to top-level matter like Dragon Factor.

More mystifying was that although Leviathan was at Tier Five, her scale, once removed from her body, displayed a higher tier.

Perhaps this indicated an essential gap between a (10-5) value and Tier Five; she might be in a special state, many details defying conventional logic.

With the scale in hand, Li Ang cautiously infused it with magic power and spiritual perception, deciphering its power, and only after rehearsing the enchantment creation process several times in his mind did he begin crafting.

Leviathan wiggled her tail, watching keenly from the side.

The scale was small, seemingly insufficient to make a demon, but dragons were beings of the magic power dimension, with Dragon Ancestors being origin points within it. The materials generated by dragons in the material dimension, due to being corporeal there, invariably possessed excellent magic power affinity, let alone this scale.

As soon as Li Ang infused his magic power into it, the glass-like scale immediately allowed him to reshape it into any form, with no effort whatsoever. The scale instantly stretched as if melted into a gelatinous form, rapidly growing tiny dragon scales along its elongated surface, akin to a rebirth.

Just modeling the scale into a serpentine shape, the scale enveloped it entirely, then began spawning fins and spines, as if a miniature Leviathan was being crafted on site.

Given her power, it’s no wonder she prevented Li Ang from creating a Fafnir demon.

Then, Li Ang synchronized the magic power and spirituality within the miniature body and activated it as per the Magic Guide’s functioning method.

The instant it was activated, the "miniature Leviathan" swayed a bit, enlarged by the laden magic power, but full of spirituality, it began swimming in the air.

Wow, it really looks like me, no, it is truly a sort of avatar of mine, how extraordinary.

The little sea serpent exclaimed in awe, and Li Ang was no less surprised.

Who would have thought the Magic Guide had such an ability, especially with these concealed aspects, one wonders if Oktos Academy would get tangled up with any formidable adversaries?

The demon before him, aside from being slightly smaller and more crystalline compared to Leviathan, was almost indistinguishable.

"Alright, let’s see its power now."
