Full-Time Wizard: Starting with Harvesting Wheat
Chapter 87 The Lion's Breath
Extraordinary beings, as the name suggests, possess extraordinary powers that are difficult for ordinary beings to attain.
The electric signal transmission of electric eels, swarm commands, and even the brute force of the giant boar and the tough hide of the giant gorilla are all still within the realm of the physical world.
However, the fire-breathing of the Dragonfire Lizard and the roar of the Lotl Lion have risen to another dimension.
In a sense, the "enhancement" Roy just received can also be considered a supernatural ability.
Since Soraya said that the mimic octopus is an extraordinary creature, it must possess one or more amazing special abilities.
The greatest strength of the mimicry octopus lies in its disguise.
Soraya began to explain in detail.
—And in order to disguise itself, it has evolved many bloodline abilities.
Information masking field.
When a mimicking octopus chooses to blend into its environment, it spontaneously forms a faint "information-masking field." Any observer within it will be subconsciously told: there's nothing here, everything is normal.
Unless forcibly broken by powerful mental strength or specific witchcraft, even wizards will involuntarily ignore its existence.
Flesh and blood transformation technique.
Techniques more powerful than fluid muscles.
Mimicry octopuses can change their color and texture, and even alter their physical structure to some extent. If this ability were applied to humans, it would mean being able to temporarily reconstruct the bones along the edge of their hand to make them sharper at the moment of attack.
With just these two innate bloodline talents, the mimicry octopus has firmly established itself among the "extraordinary creatures." What's even more astonishing is that these exceptionally gifted mimicry octopuses also possess a unique ability that can be described as a divine skill.
—Among extraordinary beings, these special individuals are called "odd species".
Soraya said.
The unique skill of the strange mimic octopus is called "rule-based mimicry".
This mimicry octopus can not only imitate the appearance, but also, to some extent, the nature or rules of the target.
When mimicking a stone, its body density increases locally, and its physical defense soars.
When mimicking an electric eel, its skin can generate real bioelectric currents.
However, the current it emits is certainly not as strong as that of an electric eel, and its hardness is also not comparable to that of a rock.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be called imitation, but a complete copy!
Unfortunately, the rare mimic octopus is extremely rare. Not to mention that creatures like the mimic octopus only appear in a few planes, the probability of a rare species appearing is probably only one in tens of millions.
—When I first arrived in this plane, I obtained some blood from a common mimic octopus from my mentor, who asked me to do targeted bloodline fusion exercises.
Soraya recalled.
"Soraya," her mentor said to her, "your plane has a knight system, right? Find a formal knight and specifically implant the ability to mimic an octopus."
A formal knight's physique is roughly equivalent to that of a second-class apprentice. If no second-class apprentices can be found in the academy to participate in the experiment, the knight becomes the inferior substitute.
Soraya immediately agreed and then found her direct subordinate, Lord Histor.
He overcomes the natural muscle response by mimicking the ability of an octopus—fluid muscles.
However, the mimic octopus no longer has any blood.
Soraya looked regretful.
However, it can be purchased with magic stones.
Roy strongly suspected that Soraya's expression was fake, that she was just trying to trick him into "taking out another loan." Unfortunately, the fluid muscle ability was merely icing on the cake, not essential to him.
He will not increase the debt any further!
—Only 200 magic stones are needed.
Soraya pouted, tempting her.
Roy gave a cold laugh.
Since Soraya said 200 magic stones, then you must be able to make a profit by quoting 200!
That's just the nature of a wizard!
How could we let her have her way?
That is indeed the case.
Soraya didn't have any mimic octopus blood on hand, but her mentor had collected a lot. All she had to do was mention it, and all she had to do was pay a "delivery fee"—the magic stones needed to send the blood over.
Moreover, she happens to have other things that need to be "delivered," and adding some blood will hardly increase the cost. Rounding it up, it's practically a net profit.
Earn 200 magic stones!
Most importantly, the more magic stones Roy owes her, the deeper their bond will become in the future.
Soraya believes it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with this talented reserve player.
With his metallic talent, he will definitely join the alchemy school in the future.
The alchemy faction at Gulimo Academy isn't particularly strong, but it's still a crucial part of the wizarding world. Various magical artifacts, extraordinary metals, and wizard ships used for large-scale migrations, as well as planet-destroying cannons capable of annihilating smaller planes, are all the work of the alchemy faction.
For her, befriending a wizard from a future alchemy faction would be entirely beneficial.
In Soraya's view, maintaining a relationship while in debt is also a way of maintaining a good relationship.
……
After merging their bloodlines, Roy immediately began practicing the Lion Breathing Technique.
Instructor Robert was right after all. Having the blood of the Lothar Lion, learning the Lion Breathing Technique became much easier.
Because deep down, Roy has a lion inside him!
After practicing for most of the night, his breathing became heavy, and with each exhale, it was as if a raging lion opened its mouth and let out a deep roar from the depths of its throat.
This breathing caused the blood in Roy's body to flow, and at the same time, it allowed him to sense a mysterious energy within his body.
That energy, like a drop of warm water, glides through the internal organs.
"This is...life energy!"
At the same moment he sensed the presence of life energy, a dormant magic worm that had been living inside him suddenly awoke, seemingly under some command, and began to move with strange cries.
The tiny magic worm merged into his blood vessels and quickly tracked down that wisp of energy. At the same time, it itself became a marker, following behind the droplet-shaped life energy.
All of his actions were exactly the same as Roy's when he first learned normal breathing and how he perceived his breath!
He looked at Soraya, who was staring intently at his stomach.
At this moment, she used two abilities.
Firstly, the actions of the magic insects can be controlled through swarm commands!
Secondly, through thermal sensing, the direction of life energy within Roy's body can be perceived!
Indeed, thermal sensing is such a basic and useful ability that it is almost a must-have for bloodline wizards, so Soraya also uses it.
The local temperature at the location of life energy is definitely much higher than other locations. Accompanying the flow of the small droplets, what appears before Soraya is a trajectory etched by high temperature!
The next moment, a lion appeared inside Roy's body, raised its strong arm, and slammed down with its claws, grabbing the life energy along with the magic insect into its palm!
Soraya's swarm command returned a message indicating "not received by the recipient".
The magic bug was swatted dead.
To be precise, it was crushed by the extremely high blood pressure in that area at that moment.
She silently wrote in her notebook that when the magic worm helps with breathing exercises, she should be careful to instruct it to escape at the last moment, otherwise the magic worm will be lost.
A magic bug isn't expensive, but an unnecessary loss is unacceptable to a perfectionist wizard apprentice.
At the same time, Roy slowly opened his eyes.
The breathing techniques transformed into a data stream, slowly unfolding before his eyes.
【Lion Breathing (Lion Breathing Technique)】
