Chapter 961: Fourth-Form s.h.i.+fter!
“Glug glug . ”
The dark, inky water in the Nourishment Pond gave off an unpleasant stench that filled the entire bas.e.m.e.nt . However, Merlin's ma.s.sive s.h.i.+fted form was thoroughly enjoying the nourishment provided by the various precious materials in the Nourishment Pond .
This was already the eighteenth portion of Nourishment Pond materials, but Merlin still had not achieved the fourth-form s.h.i.+fter . The amount of time consumed had exceeded Merlin's expectations .
Nevertheless, since there were still materials remaining, Merlin continued to brew the formula . Currently, Merlin's s.h.i.+fted form had grown once over, and two solid lumps were protruding from his back . The longer he soaked in the Nourishment Pond, the itchier the lumps behind his back became as if they would soon burst open .
Merlin knew that this was a unique characteristic of almost becoming a fourth-form s.h.i.+fter . Once he had achieved the fourth-form s.h.i.+ft, the Blood-eye Dragon would be able to manifest its true “dragon” trait, which consisted of two wings . Once those two lumps on his back burst open, they would become wings .
Most importantly, the Blood-eye Dragon was ultimately still a Vipera Dragon, so it possessed some characteristics of dragons . Of course, the Blood-eye Dragon's strongest ability was its “Blood-eye” but it would only appear upon achieving full-s.h.i.+ft .
Regardless, just the manifestation of wings would be extremely beneficial to Merlin at this stage . It would also give him a conspicuous edge . In addition, a fourth-form s.h.i.+fter of the Blood-eye Dragon would possess terrifying abilities, worthy of challenging the full-s.h.i.+fters of low-tier almighty beasts .
The water in the Nourishment Pond was still bubbling frantically when Merlin resumed brewing .
“Boom . ”
Suddenly, there was an explosion in the Nourishment Pond . Merlin's face revealed a look of agony . His ma.s.sive body began to expand, to the point that he could hardly fit inside the Nourishment Pond .
However, what was more terrifying was that the two lumps on his back had burst open without warning . From inside the lumps, a pair of powerful wings emerged .
“Fourth-form s.h.i.+fter!”
Merlin was extremely excited . Finally, he had achieved fourth-form s.h.i.+fter . This would mark the beginning of his fight against the mighty existence in this world .
If he proceeded one step further and achieved a full-s.h.i.+fter, then he would become even more fearsome . Once a high-tier almighty beast bloodline had achieved full-s.h.i.+ft, it could wield the true power of a high-tier beast and become an irrefutable “disastrous” existence – one enough to unleash a disaster upon an entire country!
Merlin gently flexed his hands . He felt tremendous power, belonged exclusively to him . As for the wings, despite the ma.s.sive form of his body, the wings felt very st.u.r.dy . Even then, Merlin was slightly worried about whether they could carry his ma.s.sive body .
After some thoughts, Merlin decided to give it a try outside .
So, Merlin left the bas.e.m.e.nt and returned to the manor . Currently, the Count's Manor had been restored to its former glory . Even some details had been well-executed . It gave Merlin a sense of returning to Boulder City once again .
“Good job, who decorated this?”
Merlin was very satisfied . This was the work of a very meticulous person who understood his thoughts .
“Sir Leon, I decorated it . I heard that Sir Leon used to be the old master of this manor, so I found someone to restore its original look . I hope that Sir Leon likes it . ”
The person who answered was the beautiful woman who had knelt in front of the manor to welcome Merlin .
“Very well, you're very meticulous . Let's keep this look, then . Boulder City will not be invaded anymore . All of you here will be under my protection . ”
Merlin looked at the woman before him as well as the other women in the vicinity . All of them looked delighted . Although they had been forcibly kidnapped by Blackbat, right now, all they wanted was a safe refuge . Since Merlin had killed Blackbat, he was the most suitable .
Merlin was not concerned about these women . He stepped out of the manor and instantly wielded his fourth-form s.h.i.+ft . Then, he stretched out his wings . The wings were so huge that they blocked the sun .
“Swoosh . ”
With a gentle flap of his wings, Merlin's ma.s.sive form took off and flew up into the air . Surprisingly, despite the smaller size of his wings compared to the rest of his body, they contained immense strength that allowed him to fly easily . Moreover, his speed was very fast, and his movement was very nimble .
According to legends, the real Great Dragon was the overlord of both the sky and the land . Other than the oceans, everywhere else was controlled by the Great Dragon . This was the reason the Great Dragon had left behind so many legends .
However, those legends remained as legends . The Great Dragon did not appear again, and those with the Great Dragon bloodline dwindled close to none . Even the Vipera Dragons became extremely scarce . After all, the Vipera Dragons were also high-tier almighty beasts .
Merlin continued to soar in the air, relis.h.i.+ng the Blood-eye Dragon's power . Suddenly, his gaze swept around and discovered a few suspicious-looking individuals around the castle .
“Hmph . ”
Merlin knew that most likely, these were spies sent by some other rebel army . After all, Merlin had successively destroyed the Python Army and the Blackbat Militia . Even Orsato and the full-s.h.i.+fter Blackbat died by Merlin's hands . Naturally, this made the other rebel armies anxious and they wanted to verify the situation .
“Swoosh . ”
Merlin flew down rapidly . The enormous shadow cast by his ma.s.sive body immediately alerted these suspicious individuals that they had been discovered . Their faces turned as white as a sheet .
“It's Leon, quickly escape!”
However, even before they could wield their beast forms, Merlin flapped his wings and stirred up a violent gale that blew them into a crumpled heap .
“Boom . ”
Merlin's ma.s.sive body was filled with authority as he affixed these three people with a stern glare . His wings were splayed wide open, blocking out the sun .
Merlin asked icily, “Go ahead, tell me who sent you?”
The men shrank timidly . They seemed afraid, dared not speak .
“Thud . ”
Merlin stepped forward and sank his feet onto one of them . The other two immediately blanched and said, “It's General Wellington!”
“Wellington? The rebel army leader who has a low-tier almighty beast bloodline, and similarly, achieved the level of full-s.h.i.+fter?”
Merlin still remembered some of the intelligence he had collected from the Investigation Team . Wellington was also once closely monitored by the royal family . After all, he was also a full-s.h.i.+fter and his influence had expanded quickly . Thus, he became a great concern to the royal family .
“Get lost . Go back and tell Wellington, I won't give him any trouble . However, if he's looking for trouble, I won't mind paying him a visit . ”
Merlin said harshly . He believed that his warning would be effective . After all, he had Blackbat as precedent .
