A Wizard’s Secret

Next, Merlin’s assignment was to look at logistics resources records but he took the job seriously and recorded every resource received in logistics.

From there, Merlin could roughly guess how rich the resources the royal family gave Phantom were.

“The amount the royal family had accumulated over hundreds of years isn’t ordinary at all!”

Seeing the various resources exchanged from the records, Merlin sighed emotionally. No matter how weak the royal family was, they were still a giant. These resources alone would be enough to stabilize the entire Holy Dragon City.

The Holy Dragon City was the core of the entire Holy Dragon Empire. As long as the Holy Dragon City remained safe, the royal family would always hold the greatest power.

…

Merlin stayed in Phantom till the evening before leaving and returning to the manor.

The manor was calm as usual, and everything seemed in an orderly manner.

Only in the crude laboratory in the basement were there bouts of noises.

“It’s finally ready.”

Merlin looked at the murky water in the Nourishment Pond and revealed a smile. He had been busy for most of the night preparing the Hermani formula.

The Nourishment Pond this time was prepared for Merlin to replace the almighty beast’s will. It was extremely tough to change almighty beast’s will because it was in the Host’s Awareness.

If he lost the almighty beast’s will, he would lose the ability to transform and become mediocre. This was the real reason why many people did not dare to change it.

If they failed, they would lose everything and be left with nothing!

However, Merlin was not afraid. His Mind Power and Illusory World could suppress the almighty beast’s will. It would be easy even if he wanted to erase the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will.

“First, wipe out the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will!”

The Illusory World in Merlin’s Awareness suddenly expanded. The Two-headed Pterolycus seemed to sense danger and struggled frantically, causing Merlin’s body to suddenly morph.

However, it was useless. Merlin’s colossal Mind Power had suppressed it firmly, and the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will was immediately crushed by the pressure, and gradually dissipated in the Awareness.

Merlin’s morphed body also swiftly turned back to normal. He could no longer shapeshift.

“The previous portion of the Nourishment Pond was wasted.”

Merlin frowned. Changing the almighty beast’s will was too much trouble, and the loss was too large. He had achieved the third-form for his Two-headed Pterolycus, but now there was nothing left.

It was not surprising that even though Hosts knew powerful almighty beasts’ wills could greatly enhance their strength, the number of people who would try to change their almighty beast’s will was very few.

As for those who had merged almighty beasts’ wills, it was even rarer and could be counted on one’s fingers. It was not something that an ordinary Host could achieve.

Merlin still did not understand what merging almighty beasts’ wills were, so he did not dare to act rashly. He could only choose to replace a powerful almighty beast’s will first before slowly studying it later.

“It’s time to find the Blood-eye Dragon’s will…”

Merlin thought about the attitude of the Blood-eye Dragon from before. It had completely looked down on Merlin. High-tier almighty beast wills like that were extremely prideful.

Unfortunately, Merlin was not an ordinary person and did not need the almighty beast’s will to be willing. As long as he chose the almighty beast’s will, he could forcibly integrate it.

“Swoosh.”

Merlin once again entered the space in the Bead of Infamy and went straight to the third layer.

“Boom.”

Within the third layer of the Bead of Infamy, the Blood-eye Dragon sensed Merlin’s arrival.

“You again? You chose the Two-headed Pterolycus that has no potential. I won’t be parasitized in your body. You better leave before I swallow you up!”

The Blood-eye Dragon was as fierce as usual.

However, Merlin did not care and smiled instead. “I’ve erased the Two-headed Pterolycus’ will. I’m here today to take you, Blood-eye Dragon, a high-tier almighty beast’s will!”

“Hm? Did you give up the Two-headed Pterolycus? It seems your foolishness isn’t beyond redemption. However, I won’t follow you. You’re not worthy of being my Host. Begone.”

The Blood-eye Dragon was still disdainful.

“You don’t have a choice!”

Merlin did not leave and instead controlled the Bead of Infamy. Using the power of the Bead of Infamy, he instantly pulled the Blood-eye Dragon into his Awareness.

This was the role of the Bead of Infamy. However, once entering the Awareness, it would be a direct confrontation between the Host and the almighty beast’s will. The Bead of Infamy would no longer play a role.

“Roar…”

The Blood-eye Dragon immediately let out a huge roar after entering the Awareness, and a storm seemed to break out in Merlin’s Awareness.

“Foolish human. How dare you try to force the integration? You’ll pay for this!”

There did not seem to be anything in the Awareness that could stop the Blood-eye Dragon. It opened its mouth wide to swallow Merlin’s consciousness.

“Suppress!”

Merlin did not dare to relax before a powerful high-tier almighty beast’s will. If he was careless, it would cause some damage to his Awareness.

Therefore, Merlin directly used the power of the Illusory World, especially the natural order, which was Merlin’s strongest power now. In his Awareness, even a legendary almighty beast’s will was unable to compete with the power of the natural order in the Illusory World.

“Boom.”

Therefore, Merlin’s Illusory World severely suppressed the Blood-eye Dragon, rendering it unable to struggle.

Even the Blood-eye Dragon had a strong feeling that Merlin could easily wipe out its will if he so wished.

“Who the hell are you? Ordinary people don’t have Awareness as strong as yours.”

The Blood-eye Dragon struggled continuously to no avail. Even if the Blood-eye Dragon was ten times stronger than it was now, it could not break free from the suppression of the Illusory World.

“I’m just a Host. However, Blood-eye Dragon, you’ve also felt that I’m not an ordinary Host. Being parasitized in my body isn’t a humiliation to you. Besides, your will would become even stronger when my grade increases in the future!”

Merlin believed that the Blood-eye Dragon was wise and would be able to choose under this scenario.

Agree, and it would be parasitized by Merlin. Disagree, and Merlin would completely wipe out the Blood-eye Dragon’s will. The Blood-eye Dragon had a very strong premonition that it would happen.

“I can feel that you have an otherworldly aura. Perhaps, you’ve obtained a forbidden item. However, do I really have a choice? Unless I want to be wiped out… Very well. To be able to choose a Host is also the best outcome for almighty beast wills like us.”

The Blood-eye Dragon had finally agreed to be parasitized!
