Chapter 666: Merging Dragon Blood with Crumple-Horned Snorkack
The unicorn's neigh was the first to ring out, countering the power of the First-years within Ivan's body. Then, the basilisk's cold magic joined the fray, spreading from its eyes downward, gradually turning the situation into a three-way battle.
Ivan almost thought he was about to explode!
But that was just the beginning. Soon, Ivan noticed his body beginning to transform.
The out-of-control situation instantly made Ivan realize that the conflict between bloodlines was far from something that could be resolved by willpower alone!
Activate Protection Mode!
Ivan shouted in his mind as quickly as possible.
At this moment, the magic within his body was surging like a tidal wave. Fortunately, with the intervention of the System's power, the turbulent "waves" slowly calmed down, becoming increasingly docile. However, the magic brought by the bloodlines remained uncontrollable.
Especially the First-years' magic, which was not only brutal but also highly invasive. After Ivan suppressed the powers of the other magical creatures, it quickly seeped into every part of his body, causing sudden, sharp pains that radiated to his brain.
In contrast, his magic was growing rapidly, almost solidifying into a tangible force that was spreading quickly from Ivan's body. The Redwood Table closest to him began to vibrate slightly, and cracks started to appear on its surface...
The physical transformation continued as well.
Ivan became somewhat panicked, initially thinking that this change was due to the Boggart's magic.
However, in Protection Mode, Ivan could clearly see that the Boggart's magic was still obediently staying in its place, not participating in the battle at all. This meant that the cause of the transformation was the Fire Dragon Power he had just obtained!
Ivan didn't dare to relax and quickly raised his hand to take a look. To his shock, he found that his arm was covered in a layer of red dragon scales, identical to those on Norbert's back, but scaled down by about ten times.
Am I turning into a half-dragon?
Ivan was immediately frightened.
After a closer inspection, Ivan soon realized that these dragon scales weren't growing out of his body but were a manifestation of his magic. He wondered if their protective capabilities could match those of real dragon scales.
While he was distracted, the magic within him became restless again. Ivan quickly refocused all his attention on suppressing the magical surge.
After about a few dozen seconds, the speed of magic growth gradually slowed down. At the same time, he noticed the "dragon scales" on his arm gradually fading, becoming transparent until they vanished completely.
Everything returned to normal.
Ivan understood that the Fourth Bloodline Fusion Ceremony had been successful. However, he didn't have time to check his gains because Protection Mode would end in another twenty seconds!
He had worked hard to secure this time!
So Ivan wasted no time, immediately closing his eyes to adapt. The vast amount of magic within his body was being stirred up by the First-years' power, making it abnormally active and responsive to his commands.
When he opened his eyes, Ivan already had a plan.
Without any visible movement, the tables and chairs within a hundred meters were lifted by a mysterious force, manipulated like clay, and reshaped into intricate sculptures of various materials—gold, silver, copper, and iron...
The notification in Ivan's mind kept ringing, signaling that his Transfiguration proficiency was rapidly increasing. In no time, it had nearly reached the limit of level six, yet there was no sign of a breakthrough.
Clearly, overcoming this bottleneck wouldn't be easy. If it were that simple, everyone would be a Magic Master.
Ivan felt a bit disappointed, but with a flick of his mind, all the sculptures exploded instantly.
Sharp fragments of stone flew out like bullets in all directions, creating small pits in the floor and walls. However, when they reached Ivan, an invisible force deflected them, turning them into dust that drifted in the air.
"Magic is wondrous because it allows you to make your thoughts a reality!"
For some reason, Ivan suddenly recalled Nicolas Flamel's words. He realized that his current state was quite similar to the ultimate form of Magic described by the Alchemical Master—making thoughts a reality—though not as absolute.
Ivan could clearly feel that his power was still somewhat limited, but even so, the feeling of controlling everything was deeply captivating.
Ivan even became so arrogant that he thought he could make Voldemort flee if the Dark Lord were to appear in front of him.
However, a glance at the notification bar, which showed only seven seconds left in Protection Mode, made Ivan's inflated confidence deflate like a punctured balloon.
This temporary power was difficult to use in battle, especially since obtaining Legendary Points was extremely challenging. Using them just to support a single battle seemed too wasteful.
Ivan sighed inwardly, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and focused on improving his strength.
He wanted to use the remaining seconds of Protection Mode to attempt another true Transfiguration of Living Beings, hoping to break through his current bottleneck!
Without further ado, Ivan extended his hand, and a small piece of wood, about the size of a finger, floated into his palm. He gradually infused it with his Magic, visualizing the intricate wood fibers breaking down in his mind.
Ivan attributed his previous failures in Transfiguration to the large size of the biological subjects, which required a significant amount of mental focus. So, he decided to start with a smaller creature, like a fly or a beetle.
But spending so much effort to create a common insect didn't align with Ivan's expectations. He wanted to create something more unique.
As Ivan thought, the small piece of wood in his palm kept changing shape, expanding to nearly twice its size. The surface roughness gradually softened, resembling animal fur, and a pair of sturdy, curved horns began to emerge from the fur.
In no time, a peculiar creature, about the size of half a palm, appeared before Ivan.
It looked like a combination of various animals, with the overall form of a deer but with the robust hooves of a bull. Its body was covered in silver fur, and it had a pair of large, curved horns on its head. It appeared both lively and intimidating.
If a Wizard well-versed in magical species were present, they would likely be unable to identify what this creature was, as it was a fantastical creation—a Crumple-Horned Snorkack!
