The path of a wizard was never one that could be completed in one go!
If you wanted to take a shortcut, you had to pay a heavy price, which was often unbearable for ordinary people.
And now, Meryl was suffering inhumanly for her past laziness and indulgence.
Great power had to be supported by a strong body, and the reason why dragons were so large was precisely because they could bear the burden of a powerful bloodline.
It was just that dragons relied on years and years of sleep to digest and absorb the power of this bloodline. Meryl, on the other hand, wanted to fuse with the bloodline rune in such a short period of time, and it was inevitable that she would suffer a little. Unless she could be like a dragon and seal herself in a certain place, using a long period of meditation to get through this cruel transformation process.
For an entire month, Meryl had been on the border between heaven and hell at all times. One foot was life, the other was death, and she had been tormented and struggling between life and death.
At the very beginning, the slightest bit of Fire Dragon aura that leaked out from the bloodline rune was enough to cook her flesh and boil her blood. Later, the accumulated fire essence that she had absorbed earlier was slowly released from her limbs and bones, and it began to passively transform and modulate her body's vital circulation system.
First, it was her heart. Under the transformation of the Fire Dragon aura, this vital organ gradually swelled up and became strong. It was clearly very difficult for a human heart to withstand the impact of such a massive Fire Dragon aura, so two small auxiliary hearts unexpectedly grew out behind Meryl's heart.
As they worked together to absorb and filter the Fire Dragon aura, it no longer destroyed her body as it had in the past, and instead became the source of the powerful bloodline power that slowly pulsed.
Meryl's vital organs and blood vessels also became tougher and denser than before, and she now had Odd Zhuo's fire resistance attribute. There were even some inexplicable changes in her flesh and blood, and they became more suitable for the circulation and storage of fire energy.
During this period, Meryl's body also showed some signs of turning into a dragon.
Every time she consciously gathered fire energy, a layer of fine dark red scales would appear on the surface of her body, which clanked when she struck it. When Meryl gathered the flame energy on her palm, her delicate, fair hand would transform into a solid dragon claw covered in dark red dragon scales. She could easily pierce through alloy shields with a defense of less than 100 degrees and crush rocks into fine powder.
This meant that Meryl's strength and physique had been greatly enhanced after her dragonization.
Therefore, when Meryl had completely adapted to the bloodline runes and was able to use the flame energy, Grimm gave her another comprehensive dialysis.
[Meryl] (Tier 1, Advanced) Class: Bloodline Sorcerer (Fire Dragon Transformation) Basic Data: Strength 16, Constitution 17, Agility 9, Spirit 17 …
It had to be said that the transformation of her bloodline had brought about an earth-shattering change in her strength.
Strength increased from 4 to 16 points, Vitality increased from 8 to 17 points, Agility increased from 5 to 9 points, Spirit increased from 14 to 17 points … The increase in the basic stats of the body was amazing!
If Meryl was said to be an ordinary Tier 1 Sorcerer before, not even worthy of the title of a veteran Sorcerer, her current strength had already caught up to those Elite Sorcerers. In terms of physique, she was no longer any weaker than Elite Sorcerers. The only difference was probably in her combat skills and the casting of spells.
However, this was only the result of her initial fusion with the bloodline runes. In the future, as her fusion with the bloodline runes increased, her basic strength would increase by leaps and bounds.
When that time came, she would only need to put in a little effort to easily crush those Elite Sorcerers of the same rank.
It was a pity that Meryl's compatibility with the Fire Dragon's bloodline was still slightly lacking. At Tier 1, she could only complete the dragonization of part of her body. Be it Dragon Scale Protection, Fire Dragon Breath, or Bloodline Suppression … all of these were pretty good defensive and combat skills.
As for the complete dragonization, she would probably have to wait until she reached Tier 2.
With the solid foundation laid by the Tier 3 mother Fire Dragon, Meryl's path to Tier 2 had already been paved. All she needed to do now was to fuse and absorb the bloodline runes, slowly waiting for her strength to cross the threshold of Tier 2.
From this point of view, Meryl's advancement to Tier 2 was much easier than everyone else's!
From this, it could be seen that with a powerful Sorcerer backing her up, her path to advancement would be much smoother. This was also one of the main reasons why most low-ranked Sorcerers were willing to follow the orders of high-ranked Sorcerers.
In just five months, Meryl had successfully completed the transformation of the Fire Dragon's bloodline and successfully fused with the bloodline runes. All sorts of hidden benefits would be repaid to her over the next decade or so, pushing her back into the ranks of the Crimson Family's second echelon.
This was the generous reward that her legendary teacher, the Crimson Family's leader, had given her for her years of hard work in serving the family!
Of course, Grimm had also used this opportunity to successfully collect the bloodline transformation data he wanted.
… …
Magus World, White Tower.
The light from the teleportation slowly dissipated, and Meryl opened her eyes with a smile on her face.
The transformation of her bloodline had brought her many hidden benefits. Even the dizziness caused by long-distance teleportation was much shorter than before.
For this teleportation, Meryl had purposely chosen the public teleportation circle at the teleportation plaza outside the White Tower.
Hence, when she stepped out of the teleportation circle, the Magi guarding the edge of the teleportation circle hurriedly bowed in greeting. The Magi and acolytes at the edge of the teleportation plaza also stopped in astonishment and made way for her, greeting her politely.
It had been half a year since there was any news of Magus Meryl.
The White Tower's rumor was that Magus Meryl was conducting a large-scale spell experiment, so she was temporarily not receiving any outsiders. Her authority had also been replaced by the Destiny Witches' Cheff.
The Magi and acolytes living in the White Tower were the most sensitive to these minute changes. However, the higher-ups of the Crimson Family had always maintained their silence, so none of the Magi dared to question Meryl's decision.
Perhaps the acolytes did not feel much when they suddenly saw Magus Meryl today, but the Magi from the Crimson Family were all shocked. They could not believe their eyes and their spiritual senses.
Every Magus' elemental aura and spiritual wave were unique, with a different frequency and amplitude.
However, this Magus Meryl in front of them was still the same person, but her elemental aura and spiritual wave had undergone earth-shattering changes. Moreover, in just half a year, Magus Meryl's body had also undergone a huge change. She had become taller and more muscular.
In the past, Meryl was only about 1.7 meters tall. But now, she was almost 2 meters tall!
Her light blue eyes had now become dark red, and the edge of her eyes seemed to be shining with the light of flames.
Every time their eyes met, the Crimson Magi would feel a stinging pain in their eyeballs, as well as a slight burning sensation. As for the acolytes, they did not even dare to look directly at the gentle and beautiful Magus of the past. Otherwise, their eyes would definitely be filled with tears, and they would not be able to open their eyes.
What struck everyone the most was the faint spiritual pressure that shrouded Meryl's body, causing everyone who approached her to feel their hearts thumping wildly.
The acolytes were not knowledgeable and did not know what this was, but the Crimson Magi could clearly sense it.
Dragon's Might!
This was a weakened version of Dragon's Might!
Since when did Meryl have the spiritual pressure to imitate Dragon's Might? This … is unbelievable!
Meryl walked into the White Tower with a relaxed gait, then slowly flew toward the higher levels of the Wizard's Pagoda on a floating metal disc.
News of her return quickly spread throughout the tower, including Witch Chave, who was sitting in the Wizard's Hall on the seventh floor, and Count Winlier, who was bowing to the side.
Chave waved her hand to disperse the water mirror in front of her, and a cold smile appeared on her icy, beautiful face.
"Your old master is showing off to me! Looks like her bloodline modification at her teacher's place is quite successful … "
Count Winlier, who was standing to the side, still had a fawning smile on his face, but his words did not budge an inch.
"I will only ever have one master, and that is Lady Mary!"
Witch Chave was slightly stunned, knowing that she had said something indiscreet.
Lady Mary was one of the top bosses in the Crimson Family. Other than her terrifying level 3 strength, she had a large number of level 2 Vampires under her command. Even though Chave belonged to the line of Destiny Witches and was not under the control of the Crimson Family, she still had to maintain a respectful tone and attitude towards such a powerful person.
This was also the Wizard Code that all low-level Magi had to follow, or else the other party would have sufficient excuses to punish and punish her.
Even though she was not interested in the authority of the White Tower, nor was she interested in participating in the internal affairs of the Crimson Family, Chave could not remain calm about the changes that had occurred to Wizard Meryl.
The Crimson Family and the Destiny Witches were working closely together, and the increase in strength of either side could tilt the balance that was barely maintained.
The fact that both Grimm and Mary had reached Tier 3 at the same time was a huge blow to the Destiny Witches. If the Crimson Family had a few more powerful Magi, the balance between the two sides would be even more difficult to maintain.
Hence, when the Snow Witch Cheffu saw Meryl's successful return, she did not feel happy for her at all. Instead, she felt a strong sense of defeat and danger from the depths of her heart.
