In the 17th year of the San Calendar, when Frank Kelermo was compiling animal and magical beast illustrations, he discovered the secret of magical beasts' extraordinary abilities, and thus began to research on the bloodline transplantation of magical beasts.
In the autumn of the 17th year of the San Calendar, Frank Kelermo conducted experiments on the organs of various magical beasts in the wizard tower, and he tried to find a set of feasible bloodline transplantation methods. However, the success rate was still pitifully low, and the mortality rate was more than 50%. If the transplantation failed, even if one did not die, the powerful backlash from the organs made of deified cells was enough to turn a person into a terrible monster.
In the 18th year of the San Calendar, Frank went to the Batko Empire, a desert country, and together with Wofte and Uruk, they captured a powerful monster that ate humans in the desert and devoured several villages and towns. It was called the Two-headed Eagle Demon. Its body was strong, and its feathers were as hard as steel. Ordinary arrows and witchcraft could not even break its defense, and its powerful claws could leave deep marks on steel.
The Two-headed Eagle Demon soared freely in the sky, and wherever it went, as long as it appeared on the border of the Batko Empire, all the villagers would tremble in fear. Its notoriety was not only known in the Batko Empire, but also in several nearby countries.
In terms of extraordinary abilities and destructive power, the Two-headed Eagle Demon was not necessarily one of the top magical beasts, but it was different from other magical beasts. It liked to eat humans, and it was far more terrifying than other powerful monsters. It could also fly, and it was difficult to capture and track. This gave the Batko Empire a headache, and they had sent a team of Blood Knights to hunt it down many times, but to no avail.
A wizard in a nearby village told Frank about this matter, and after Frank learned about the abilities and characteristics of the Two-headed Eagle Demon, he immediately set off from the wizard tower with Wofte and Uruk to the Batko Empire.
Frank was interested in the terrifying regenerative ability of the Two-headed Eagle Demon. He felt that its ability would definitely increase the success rate of organ transplantation. Frank also gradually discovered that when transplanting a magical beast's organ, the calmer the transplant target was, the lower the psychological resistance, and the higher the success rate. This situation was very similar to the state of meditation, and Frank also believed that the success rate of organ transplantation would be higher in a meditative state.
Therefore, Borl chose the Two-headed Eagle Demon as his first source of spellcasting organ transplantation. The Two-headed Eagle Demon had a tough body. Its toughness could be ranked among the top of the magical beasts. Not to mention, it could fly, and its extraordinary ability was cell regeneration.
Its heart was its spellcasting organ. Inside the heart, it could store a huge amount of energy, and when it was injured, it could continuously regenerate cells. As long as the heart and brain were not damaged, it would not die. Previously, an entire team of awakened knights from the Batko Empire, consisting of more than a dozen high-level Blood Knights, tried to trap the Two-headed Eagle Demon. The Two-headed Eagle Demon was pierced by a crossbow, burned by flames, and poisoned by arrows, but it did not die. Even with such serious injuries, it still managed to kill the entire team of awakened knights and escaped. After that, it slaughtered several villages on the border of Batko in revenge.
Its strong vitality was shocking. Frank, Uruk, and Horfe tracked the Two-headed Eagle Demon's nest with witchcraft, fell into a trap, and severely injured the Two-headed Eagle Demon. Even so, the Two-headed Eagle Demon still managed to escape. However, Frank and the other two could also fly with their mind power. Although low-level wizards could fly very slowly, tracking and fighting were not a problem. They chased after the heavily injured Two-headed Eagle Demon and finally caught it.
Frank returned to the wizard tower with the Two-headed Eagle Demon, whose wings were broken and the energy of its spellcasting organ exhausted. He was ready to start the real transplantation of spellcasting organs. Previously, he had used animals, but this time, he wanted to use it on himself, a wizard, and a human.
Although some of the mentors advised Borl to experiment on a human or an apprentice, Borl refused righteously and insisted on being the first test subject.
"Are you ready?" Uruk was Frank's good friend, and he was also Frank's assistant who had the deepest understanding of human body modification spells. Therefore, Frank's spellcasting organ transplantation surgery was naturally carried out by Uruk.
Frank lay on the test bench and looked at Uruk. He was surrounded by the other mentors of the Wizard Tower. Although some of them didn't quite agree with Frank's philosophy, Frank treated everyone equally. He was fair and just, which won the hearts of all of them.
Catherine looked at Borl worriedly. "Borl, do you want to wait for a while? Wait for Master Anthony to return before proceeding with it. What you're doing is too risky."
Frank shook his head. "It's alright. I've already done many experiments. Besides, I'm not worried about Uruk helping me with the experiment. Let's do it, Uruk. We've already calculated the steps. There won't be any mistakes. I trust you."
Originally, Frank's heart was taken out. The red heart of the Two-headed Eagle Demon with a hint of dark gold was transplanted into Frank's body. When Uruk completed the transplant and was about to stitch up the wound, he saw Frank's body tremble violently, as if his mind was under great pressure. Everyone could feel that Frank's mind power undulations had become chaotic.
"What's going on?" Uruk even dropped his scalpel. He was completely at a loss. This was completely different from what he had expected.
Horfe was the first to react. He shouted to the back, "Did it fail? Hurry up and prepare the backup measures. We must protect Frank. "
A few mentors immediately turned around and prepared. Catherine took a deep breath. "That's right. We must protect Frank. As long as he's not dead, Mentor Anthony will definitely find a way when he returns."
The wound on Frank's chest naturally healed bit by bit. Following that, a large number of feathers began to appear on Frank's body. His entire body began to undergo a drastic change, turning into a half-human, half-eagle appearance.
Then, Frank suddenly stood up. His clothes were torn, and his palms and feet turned into sharp claws. The feathers on his hands extended continuously and turned into a pair of wings. Frank let out an eagle's cry and immediately broke through the wooden door, flying out of the hall through the window.
At that moment, all the mentors of the Wizard Tower panicked and followed him out. They saw Frank's half-human, half-eagle form hovering around the Wizard Tower. Then, he pierced through the sky of the Black Forest and rushed above the clouds. After hovering for a long time, he flew back and entered the Wizard Tower's laboratory hall.
Everyone gathered around him. "Frank, how is it?"
At that moment, Frank's entire body was covered in black feathers. His palms and feet were covered in fine scales. The sharp claws on his toes had long hooks. When he walked on the floor, he left a long trail. His entire body had turned into a terrifying half-human, half-eagle monster. Frank walked to the bench and laid down. Immediately, the feathers on his body began to recede, and he returned to his human form.
