Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 204 - 34: Witchcraft: Dragon Transformation Battle Body

“Um!?”

Richard looked at Ulysses with some surprise.

“Ga, but this method needs a little Power of Faith. Do you want to see it?” Ulysses asked.

Richard’s expression tightened upon hearing this. He didn’t have much Power of Faith on hand, a kind of power that could save his life at critical moments, and he still didn’t have a stable source to acquire it. It was literally a diminishing resource every time he used it.

“How much is needed?”

“Ga, not much, just a little bit.”

Ulysses saw Richard’s hesitation and then added, “Ga, those little guys have already started producing the Power of Faith; this bit of power will come back in a few years.”

Richard’s expression relaxed a bit, and he nodded at Ulysses.

A faint wave of energy emanated from Ulysses’ body, and then, with a flick of his wing in the air, a complex Rune appeared.

Richard was shocked at heart—Ulysses had actually learned to use Wizard’s runes! But upon closer inspection, he eased his mind—this rune was not a Wizard’s rune.

“Ga, this is a simplified version of the Lun Rune from the Divine King of a Thousand Faces, different from your Wizard’s runes. This type of Rune is a rule text, which cannot even be fully understood by gods, let alone other beings. Even a simplified version can only be learned by Demigods who have come into contact with the rules.”

Having said that, Ulysses threw the rune into the Giant Dragon Blood Serum, and the entire rune merged into the serum.

“Ga, wait and see if it meets your requirements,” Ulysses said with a tone of slight ease. “Haven’t used this thing for a long time, it’s gotten rusty. The erosion from this creature named ‘Giant Dragon’ is on par with those Abyss scum. This simplified version of the Lun Rune can suppress the blood erosion of the Abyss scum, and might have some effect on this substance.”

“Abyss Demon?” Richard’s interest was piqued. “Do Abyss Demons have a similar blood erosion property?”

“Ga, although I’m biased against those scum, they are indeed more formidable than this substance.”

Whenever Ulysses mentioned Abyss Demons, his words were colored with a deep-rooted animosity.

“The Flesh and Blood of that group of Abyss scum carry strong erosion, and even a single drop of their blood can cause the erosion of the Abyss. If not dealt with, the infected will turn into new Abyss Demons. The worst part is, the corpses and Flesh of these scum can also erode the environment, and if an environment tainted by the Abyss Flesh isn’t timely purified, it will transform into an Abyss environment. Moreover, this kind of Abyss environment will automatically erode the normal world. Once the erosion of this environment reaches half of a world’s environment, the infected world will become part of the infinite Abyss. At that point, the natives of the infected world, who haven’t been eroded by the Abyss, will be rejected by the world, and the Abyss Demons will feel as comfortable as if they’ve returned home.”

Listening to Ulysses’ description, Richard could almost see the pitiful fate of the native creatures from those worlds eroded by the Abyss. In front of the Abyss, their companions were eroded, the environment was corroded, and in the end, even the world abandoned them as if they were foreign invaders.

Richard shuddered.

“Such civilization should be destroyed until not a single cell remains.”

Ulysses’ gaze became distant, as if trying to see through space and time back to his hometown. He shook his head with a heavy tone,

“Ga, let’s not talk big. See if your thing meets your requirements.”

Richard took the serum and tested it on another mouse.

The same half milliliter was used, but this time the mouse showed no abnormalities.

After dissecting the mouse and confirming that there were no signs of Dragon Transformation within its body, Richard revealed a thin smile.

“Ga, looks like it was effective.”

Richard nodded; at this moment, he already had some ideas.

“You can go back first. I’m counting on you for the Power of Faith.”

Ulysses opened the Secret Realm Rift and waved his wing, “Ga, don’t worry, I am your Subordinate God. Isn’t it the job of the Subordinate Gods to handle chores for the Main God?”

…

Once Richard confirmed that the erosive property of the Dragon Blood could be controlled, he immediately began designing the experiment.

Creatures known as Giant Dragons possess many excellent qualities; they are strong, have solid defenses, and their internal systems are also exceptional. Additionally, Dragon Blood gives them extraordinary adaptive abilities. Among Wizards, there’s a belief that Giant Dragons are perfect creatures.

Richard’s plan was straightforward—he intended to use Bloodline Alchemy to transplant partial Dragon-transformed organs into his body, thereby giving him some characteristics of the Dragon Blood Species.

However, the Dragon Transformation of the Dragon Blood Species was unpredictable. Even with the same Dragon Blood, the same species could undergo completely different transformations.

Targeting specific Dragon Transformations is a long-standing issue for Alchemy Wizards, and many Third-level, even Great Wizards, have been studying this problem.

Nevertheless, Richard wasn’t planning to delve into this issue in depth. Given that he had sufficient Magic Essence and sufficient experimentation, he would eventually find what he was looking for.

…

Ten years later, Chalak Commerce delivered the Young Dragon Blood that Richard had ordered.

Richard paid the final payment and collected the five hundred milliliters of Young Dragon Blood.

In the laboratory, glass jars containing Dragon-transformed creatures were everywhere. During these ten years, Richard hadn’t directly experimented with organ cultivation but systematically studied the fundamental knowledge of the enduring topic of Dragon Transformation.

Dragon-transformed creatures come in all shapes and sizes, and often their own organs and glands may conflict with each other, leading to shortened lifespans or even death.

And figuring out the functions of these organs and glands, ensuring they complement each other in one body without conflict, that’s what Richard had been working on for the past ten years.

After ten years of research, Richard had designed a transplantation plan for himself.

These organs and glands would enhance Richard’s bones, muscles, digestive ability, circulation, detoxification, and even allow him to possess the signature ability of a giant dragon, the Giant Dragon Breath.

If the transformation could be completed, Richard’s combat abilities would undergo a qualitative enhancement.

Richard named this transplantation plan the Dragon Transformation Battle Body, and it would be his first invention in Alchemy Magic.

Dividing the young dragon blood into ten parts, Richard proceeded to extract the serum.

Then, he moved to the corner of the laboratory.

There, in the corner of the laboratory, sat a glass pod containing a clone that Richard had intentionally cultivated for the battle body.

This clone had the same physique as Richard.

After a year of training in the Mountain Secret Realm, Richard’s physique hadn’t improved by much, due in large part to his not capitalizing on the high-gravity environment.

However, once Richard had finished constructing the Gravity Training Room, all of that could be compensated for.

Richard took out the clone and then injected the Young Dragon Blood Serum into its body.

A giant dragon’s growth is divided into four stages: young dragon, adult dragon, prime dragon, and old dragon.

The young dragons need no elaboration. Adult giant dragons signify becoming a level 1 creature, and prime giant dragons have the strength of second to third level creatures, but if they do not become a level 4 creature before the age of 6000, then they enter the old dragon stage.

At this stage, the dragon’s wisdom will increase greatly, and the arrogance, conceit, and invincibility characteristic of their personality will gradually fade.

Among these four stages, the blood of a young dragon is the most vibrant; young dragon blood can result in many variations of dragon-transformed creatures, unlike in the later stages where giant dragons can only transform into a few fixed entities.

Actually, if given the choice, Richard would have preferred to use the blood of an adult giant dragon for his dragon transformation experiments. However, the Wizard Commerce did not track which dragon’s blood could transform which type of creature, nor the characteristics of the body structure of such creatures.

Therefore, Richard could only rely on the blood of young dragons to play the “blind box.”

However, Richard had a plan in mind: if the effects of the Dragon Transformation Battle Body were very good, then he intended to collect dragon blood from various Wizard Commerces to screen for the blood that could transform into the needed organs.

But if the results were not good enough, then Richard would just keep the witchcraft in reserve, waiting until he had an apprentice to whom he could pass it down, to explore further.

As the Young Dragon Blood Serum was injected, the clone showed no reaction whatsoever.

Although the blood of a young dragon is vibrant, its eroding power is the lowest among dragons.

Richard’s own body had reached the standard of a second-level creature, and it was unknown if the young dragon’s blood would be able to achieve erosion.

Half an hour after the serum was injected, the clone suddenly trembled, showing signs of dragon transformation with calcium scales emerging right in front of the heart.

But the signs showed no tendency to spread.

An hour after the serum was injected, the signs of dragon transformation regressed, and the clone’s pores began to secrete black blood.

After the bleeding stopped, all the clone’s vital signs stabilized; the dragon transformation had failed.

“Alas, it seems the bloodline erosion of a giant dragon has its limits; the blood of a young dragon can’t even erode a second-level creature,” Richard sighed, turned around, and headed to the next room to retrieve a first-level clone.

He then started the dragon transformation process again.

This time the reaction came quickly, with the dragon transformation occurring in just twenty minutes and continuing to spread.

Richard placed the clone in the glass pod, filling it with nutrient fluid.

The dragon transformation had begun; now, all that was needed was time and luck.

…

Twenty years later, Chax, the successor, arrived and looked around the laboratory, filled with jars and vials, and happily clapped Richard on the shoulder.

“Little brother, you’ve finally returned to the righteous path of flesh and blood! The teacher would be very comforted to see this.”

Richard shrugged off Chax’s hand with a smile: “What are you on about? Is the teacher not comforted when I study Alchemy Machines? Those black magic essences are all earned by Alchemy Machines.”

Chax’s face stiffened at this remark and he could only sulkily say, “It’s about making money, but Synthetic Beasts can make almost as much as Alchemy Machines.”

Richard laughed and said no more, then began to clean up the various jars and vials in the laboratory.

Seeing this, Chax also helped to tidy up, but when he got to the corner, exclaimed,

“Little brother, why did you even create a body here? By the looks of it… it’s already dragon-transformed.”

Richard walked over, lifted the body out of the glass pod.

“Experimental material, I’ve been researching dragon transformation recently.”

Chax turned to Richard, who he had not paid much attention to before. Now taking a careful look, he realized his little brother’s eyes…

At some point, they had turned into vertical pupils.
