Chapter 94 - 94: 093 Dragonborn Transformation_l
Dragon bloodlines have a strong contaminating effect, even a lump of dragon feces has the possibility of giving birth to a Dragonborn monster.
Of course, many people like to call the process of dragon bloodline contamination, Dragonborn evolution.
This process also has great risks, and ultimately whether one can survive depends largely on the individual undergoing the transformation.
So generally, monsters transformed into Dragonborn are originally powerful individuals, like the aging Lizardman, Saru, whose chances of survival are low.
As the most critical source of dragon bloodlines, Otto’s body is full of them, so naturally there is no need to worry.
Upon considering this, Moray quickly said, “I don’t think this is very difficult. I have tried to transform some Dragonborn before.”
“I can design a transformation ritual that will automatically interrupt the process if the person being transformed can’t hold on.”
“The longer the individual holds on, the greater the influence of the dragon bloodline.”
Otto nodded satisfactorily and then asked, “Can you add another layer of insurance in the process?”
“What do you mean?”
Moray did not quite understand Otto’s meaning.
The latter quickly said, “I put in so much effort to save an elderly Lizardman, I don’t want any accidents happening in the future…”
Moray jokingly asked, “My dear Majesty, do you not trust him?”
“Saru is trustworthy now…”
Otto explained, “He betrayed the Green Dragon for me, who’s to say he won’t betray me for a Blue Dragon in the future?”
“I think I understand what you mean!”
After pondering for a moment, Moray said, “I can add a step to the transformation ritual. As long as you are willing to pay some dragon blood, I
can inscribe an irresistible Blood Covenant on the soul of the one being transformed.
“If they dare to betray you, then they will…”
Moray chuckled and used magic to condense a bubble in front of him, then burst it with the sharp end of his staff. He laughed and said, “Just like this, BOOM-”
“Great!”
Otto nodded in satisfaction, this annoying fellow finally showed some usefulness.
The development of this transformation ritual required the cooperation of Moray and Sofia. After saying hello to Otto, Sofia came to her magic laboratory.
As raw materials, Otto provided a few dragon scales and a few drops of fresh blood with suppressed Rotten Blood ability.
Atop the magic laboratory in the corner of Blackstone Castle, magic gemstones were inlaid as magic light bulbs, illuminating Sofia’s experiment table like shadowless lamps.
Under Moray’s guidance, Sofia skillfully used the mage’s hand to inscribe runes on the silver dragon scales with dragon blood.
Moray had carried out similar research before, and this time he only added a Blood Covenant, so this time it didn’t take much time.
At Sofia’s request, Mega Fatty brought over a weak Gnoll.
This Gnoll was the weakest and most powerless throughout the Land of the Soaring Dragon, and seemed to live only a few more days if left alone.
He would be the first test subject for the Dragonborn Transformation Ritual. The trembling Gnoll, scared out of its wits, was forcibly thrown into a spacious cage by Mega Fatty.
Sofia coldly used the mage’s hand to pinch a dragon scale and then stuck it on the Gnoll’s head.Suddenly, the motionless Gnoll in the cage seemed to be electrocuted, his entire body stiffly trembling.
He was experiencing immense pain, and his frail body was undergoing extremely unstable transformations. The messy fur on his body also tore open, revealing several horrifying bloody marks.
In order to maximize the results of this experiment, Sofia sternly said to the Gnoll, “This is the great gift from the Silver Dragon Lord. As long as you can bear this pain, you will survive and become unprecedentedly powerful.
Whether or not you can say goodbye to your pathetic and weak past depends on you!”
The Gnoll, who had originally prepared for death, suddenly opened his eyes wide. His eyes were filled with a desire for life and a longing for strength.
Mega Fatty stood aside, slightly surprised as he watched the Gnoll. This fellow was randomly picked up by him on the streets of the outer city, and its unexpectedly strong will surprised him.
Second Fatty, one of the heads of the Two-headed Ogre, praised, “If this wolf pup can pull through, he will definitely become an outstanding warrior!”
This Gnoll was surprisingly enduring, and just before the transformation ritual ended, Moray suddenly said to Sofia with a nasty smile, “Did you hear what Otto just said?”
Sofia was recording the Gnoll’s changing condition, and she glanced at him impatiently, “What do you want to say?”
“He doesn’t trust that old Lizardman who has devoted his wholehearted efforts to him!”
With a sneaky grin on his face, the evil spirit’s mouth curved upwards, “He thinks the old Lizardman might betray him in the future, so he wants us to add a layer of insurance for him, what do you think…”
“Could it be that the great Silver Dragon Lord doesn’t trust vou either?”
Moray’s voice was like a devil’s whisper, tempting Sofia to walk towards an abyss of no return.
But Sofia casually said while recording the Gnoll’s physical changes, “I will never betray the big dumb dragon, but if he needs it, I can also accept this kind of ritual.”
Moray was momentarily speechless. He looked at the half-elf girl with exceptional magical talent in amusement and anger, and complained, “Don’t be foolish. Transforming into a Dragonborn might be a blessing for ordinary people… ‘
“But for a genius like you, it is a huge obstacle on the path of magic!”
The half-elf girl casually said, “Thank you for the reminder, but I believe that the big dumb dragon and I share the same thoughts.”
“I’ve finally been able to continue my research on new magic subjects, so don’t you go doing anything silly!”
For once, Moray revealed a hint of concern in his expression.
Sofia helplessly said, “I’m not stupid. As long as the big dumb dragon doesn’t speak up, I won’t, of course, use myself as an experiment… ‘
“That’s good… ‘
Moray breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, the Gnoll’s Dragonborn Transformation Ritual finally reached its final stage.
Even though he felt the terrible pain that seemed to tear his body apart, the frail Gnoll managed to persevere with astonishing willpower until the end.
Simultaneously, the remaining energy from Otto’s scales and dragon blood also entered his body as nutrients.
Now, his appearance had undergone a huge change, and his originally thin body had become swollen and tall.
The torn fur had regrown, with only the sticky bloodstains on the messy hair indicating the torture he had once endured.
His claws had mutated, and the original cracked nails had transformed into sharp blades covered in silver-white scales, significantly enhancing his close-combat killing power.
However, after a long period of torment, the Gnoll’s spirit seemed to have suffered some damage.
He breathed heavily, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with violent impulses. The saliva dripping from his mouth sizzled as it corroded the floor.
Finally, unable to bear any more, the Gnoll howled and charged towards Sofia with a desire to kill..
