Age of Adepts

Chapter 0913 - Bloodline Rune

Unfortunately, at this point, it's too late!

Grim simply used his authority to cut off the mother fire dragon's mental perception of the outside world.

Filippa's mental mumbo jumbo disappeared in an instant, leaving only a pitiful female fire dragon in pain but unable to move in the slightest within the chamber.

With the ability of the Source Stealing Insect, it was undoubtedly very difficult to usurp the bloodline talent of a rank 3 female fire dragon. Even though Grim had used up all kinds of rare resources to strengthen it countless times, it still had a high 43% chance of failure.

If it failed, the death of the Source Stealing Insect would be a minor matter, and the quality of the bloodline of this 3rd stage female fire dragon would also be reduced due to the 'contamination'. Therefore, Grim's move also had a huge risk.

Once he failed to devour the bloodline talent, his personal losses would be as high as one to two million!

But once successful, it brought him a great deal of help.

The anxious waiting process was undoubtedly very long....

In Grim's spiritual perception, the foreign beast tore a blood path all the way to the female fire dragon's heart, which was as big as a millstone, and plopped down on it head-on and didn't move.

One day so....

Two days so....

For eight days in a row, this exotic beast didn't even move.

But its body and body structure seemed to have undergone a huge change in these eight days.

The terrifying maw at the front of its skull had disappeared without a trace, and the long, thin tongue that poked out pierced into the heart of the fire dragon, then dissimulated into an alternative, thick blood vessel that connected its body to the heart of the fire dragon. The strong hind limbs behind it also disappeared and were replaced by two arm-thick, soft spines of flesh.

The thorns extended inside the female fire dragon's body, and the end of them pierced into the thick and solid spine of the dragon.

After the heart and spine were controlled by the Origin Stealing Insects at the same time, Philippa gradually lost the sense of her entire body. Previously, with the sealing power of the Sorcerer's Tower, the female fire dragon only lost control of her dragon body, but she still knew everything that was happening inside her body at a glance.

But now, Philippa's spiritual consciousness was curled up inside her brain, and had completely lost perception and control of the rest of her dragon body. It was like being trapped locked in a black hole in space, what was happening outside and what kind of harm these would bring to her, Philippa no longer knew anything!

And Grim has cut off her mental and external communication, so that Philippa is completely isolated, and can only await her unknown fate in a dazed, passive manner.

And the only outcome, apparently, was one she could never accept!

The source stealing insects plunder bloodline talent is obviously not as easy as it appears, the risks and twists and turns are all hoarded in that strange vesicle that seems like a blood bag. The plundering process was even longer and more protracted, taking a full 33 days.

During this period, except for occasional meals and short breaks, Grim spent most of his time inside the chamber, observing and recording the various magical changes in the various stages of the Source Stealing Bug.

Filippa's soul was lost on day 17, signaling the passing of a powerful life form of the 3rd stage.

And on the 33rd day, the huge vesicle that had grown to a meter in diameter finally burst, and a strange monster that looked like a dragon, not a dragon, not a worm, emerged from it and dug all the way out of the body of the fire dragon.

Every bloodline has its own body that is suitable to carry, and the laws of the surface are also based on the characteristics of the bloodline to give everything in the world its natural talent. The Fire Dragon bloodline was undoubtedly very powerful and tyrannical, so it also needed a powerful body to carry it.

Each time the Source Stealing Insect plundered a different talent, the internal structure of its own body would also undergo earth-shattering changes. This change often also had a close connection with the talent it plundered that was hard to shake off.

With the massive amount of demonic information stored in Grim's chip, he was able to assert that the inner parts of this new form of Source Stealing Worm were already somewhat similar to the Fire Dragon chick. Only on some insignificant appendages, it still retained a trace of the insect's basic characteristics.

As soon as the mutated Source Stealing Bug emerged from the body of the female Fire Dragon, a spiked anesthetic mist was sprayed on top of its carapace. The little one with sharp teeth, long thin cheeks, dark red skin, webbed flying wings and thick hind limbs only had time to spew out a fine mouthful of flame before it passed out unconscious.

This Source Stealing Bug was cultivated by Grim himself, and Grim knew all of its organs and basic magic resistance like the back of his hand. Although there was a significant increase in magic resistance after the mutation, it couldn't carry the anesthetic agent specially formulated by Grim.

"Inform Gargamel and have him take care of the place. He can do what he wants with this 3rd stage fire dragon's carcass, but remember to take out that dragon crystal inside and send it over to me..." after simply communicating with Tarin, Grim grabbed the fire worm with his invisible elemental hand and turned around to leave the chamber.

In another, slightly smaller biology lab, a fully equipped lab bench was already in place, waiting for the target of the experiment to appear.

Over the past seven years, Grim had already conducted four talent-stealing experiments one after another, succeeding twice. But from the surviving Source Stealing Insects, Grim was still unable to extract the bloodline talent he wanted.

The source-stealing worm was also a creature, and the bloodline talent of the target creature it plundered had already been solidified into its own origin talent through a strange way. With the current means available to the witches, it was difficult to fully re-extract it.

If it were any other sorcerer, I'm afraid that they would have to accept this result in a gloomy manner.

But Grim was different, he had the aid of a chip, and could completely use the chip's precise manipulation and origin dialysis to perform operations at the genetic level.

Therefore, Grim, through the combination of surgery and sorcery, implanted some sorcery runes into the cultivated source-stealing insects beforehand, and then used these sorcery runes to reverse the source-stealing insect's predatory process.

Using this method, Grim had indeed managed to obtain a strange mystical rune!

When the Source Stealing Bug's entire flesh, skin, organs, and bloodline all dissolved into one, under the intervention and guidance of the powerful bit surface laws, a dark red shining mysterious rune appeared on the lab bench.

It was a mysterious rune that was completely different from the existing rune system of the Wizard World.

If the rune of the Sorcerer System was a flat rune that used the power of the elements to leverage the laws, then this rune that Grim had newly acquired was a three-dimensional rune that had never been seen before.

Grim had tried to use the deep scan of the chip to penetrate the secrets of this mysterious rune, but his movement almost caused the mysterious rune to crumble and disintegrate.

And during the hasty scanning and dialysis, Grim had discovered to his surprise that this seemingly simple rule rune was actually made up of dense magic patterns and chains of rules twisted around it. Lacking the nourishment of bloodline power, this mysterious rune appeared to be powerful, but was actually extremely fragile.

If it wasn't for the powerful elemental barrier in the Witch Tower's laboratory that blocked out all interference and pollution, it was feared that Grim's slightly heavier breathing might have destroyed it completely.

For this reason, Grim had to create a new purification sorcery, sealing it in with a fist-sized vacuum bubble formed by the sorcery. Only by using this method could Grim keep this mystical rune safe from the influence of the free magical elements of space and preserve it for a long time.

Thus, after a grueling battle and 33 days of hard suffering, Grim finally obtained the item he coveted, the Bloodline Rune!

Holding the air bubble lightly with his hand, with the aid of the pure white and soft magic lamp in the lab, Grim held his breath, his eyes greedily darting around the slowly rotating dark red rune.

Grim had tried all sorts of means, and his current ability wasn't enough to parse the mysterious items related to the laws of the bit plane. Even with the chip's assistance, the results were still the same.

Grim estimated that if he was able to advance to the 4th level, allowing the chip's computing and scanning ability to increase by another level, it would be possible to parse the deep mysteries of the bloodline runes. And now, one could only sit on a mountain of treasures without being able to enter through its doors.

This was one thing that could not be helped!

The bloodline rune is in hand, what do you use it for?

Now that he already possessed a powerful flame talent, it was unknown to what extent his strength and development would be affected if another foreign bloodline was inserted out of thin air.

Until specific data and information was gathered, Grim wasn't so stupid as to use it on himself. Once the two bloodlines couldn't fuse and clashed and contaminated each other, what brought them to themselves wasn't a surge of strength, but a severed future.

Therefore, on this path of bloodline fusion, Grim must be cautious, cautious, and cautious again!

One of the most ideal ways to do this at the moment would be to transplant this bloodline rune into a certain wizard and then follow the effects of the bloodline rune on his natural potential over time. Only after all this data had been collected would Grim attempt to modulate his bloodline.

After all, compared to those geniuses with powerful bloodline talents, Grim's Human Flame talent wasn't really on the same level!

Who would you use this bloodline rune extracted from a 3rd stage fire dragon on?

It was a waste of the natural potential of a 3rd level fire dragon to use it on a normal witch, and it would be better to use it on those in the Crimson Family who would be most useful in assisting them.

Mary?

Oh, kidding!

The vampire talent in Mary could not be weaker than the fire dragon bloodline in the slightest, at least in terms of the exclusivity of the bloodline talent, the vampire talent was undoubtedly more domineering and unpredictable. If other fae bloodlines and vampire bloodlines collided, I'm afraid that they wouldn't be able to escape being devoured by the vampire bloodline.

In that case, this Fire Dragon Bloodline Rune would be a complete waste!

Alice?

Her Fate Witch bloodline seemed weirder and more unpredictable than the bloodline runes, and unchangeable.

Or else, used on her....

Grim's eyes narrowed, and the image of a female witch slowly came to mind.
