Wizard Immortal

Chapter 515-Baptism

A faint flow of blood and qi circulated continuously within the body, cleansing and purifying.

With each flush and circulation, Adir's body grows, maturing at an extremely rapid pace and quickly reaching the peak of his bloodline.

However, after each cycle, some of the blood energy stored in Adir's body would slowly disappear, being absorbed by the body and transformed into the power and resources for growth.

In this silent and unnoticed state, Adir grew quietly, unnoticed by anyone.

Not far away, looking at Adir lying quietly under the tree as if in a deep sleep, Silia breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, it's stopped."

"Although the Red Beast has a big appetite, it shouldn't be this big for a newborn Red Beast."

Gazing at Adir's body covered in crimson scales, Seria turned to the boy beside her: "Sira, what do you think?"

"This ability must have come from mutation."

In response to Silia's question, the boy shook his head: "I also made a contract with the Winged Terror Bird, but the egg of that Winged Terror Bird has not yet hatched, let alone reached this point."

"This red beast should have great potential," he said uncertainly, gazing at Adir's majestic body.

A normal red beast, when it is first born, should only be less than half a meter long, and its scales cannot be fully developed. Its combat power is very weak, even weaker than that of ordinary wild animals.

The crimson beast before them was different. Not only was it larger than its kind at birth, but its scales were also ferocious, and its claws and mouthful of sharp teeth suggested that its combat power was not weak.

Especially in terms of vitality, the red beast in front of them was far beyond the standard. Even they, as former royalty, were shocked when they saw it and could not believe that it was a newly born contracted beast.

"Anyway, from the current perspective, it shouldn't be a bad thing..."

Thinking of the current situation, Silia sighed softly, her face full of worry: "Fortunately, although this contracted beast eats a lot, it mostly eats ordinary wild animals. Otherwise, given our current situation, we really wouldn't be able to afford to feed it."

Ahead, Adir paid no attention to the conversation between Sirea and the other person. He simply lay silently on the ground, his entire body being repeatedly washed by the powerful blood energy, gradually becoming stronger.

Soon, in a calm atmosphere, more than half a month passed quickly.

In the course of half a month, Adir's appetite not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

The amount of food he needs to eat at each meal, if prepared by an ordinary person, could feed at least dozens of people for a month, but for him, it is still not enough.

Such a large appetite would certainly be unbearable for an average family, but fortunately, Silia is no ordinary person.

The royal family is, after all, the royal family. Even though they have declined and are in dire straits within the empire, they can still afford to provide them with ordinary food.

However, faced with Adir's ever-increasing appetite, Silia also felt increasing pressure, experiencing both excitement and worry.

For Adir, the past two weeks have been a rare period of peace.

In just half a month, under the influence of abundant blood energy, his body rapidly transformed. Now, he has long passed the juvenile stage of the Crimson Beast and has begun to enter the mature stage.

At this stage, thanks to the fact that magical beasts are far stronger than ordinary people, their combat power is enough to rival that of a knight.

"Is this the beast you contracted?"

An unfamiliar voice rang out in the courtyard, carrying a hint of surprise and deep disdain.

In the center of the courtyard where Adir lived, a middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent robe looked at the peacefully sleeping Adir before him with a mocking expression: "Has the Yarian family fallen so low that they even need to form contracts with beasts like the Crimson Beast?"

"Lord Capo, you jest."

Beside him, Ire walked over with the old man. Listening to the old man's words, he was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "This is no ordinary red beast. It has only been born for half a month."

"Hmm?" The old man turned around and looked at Adir in front of him, his eyes shining with a bright silver light.

In an instant, in Adir's perception, a force somewhat similar to, yet different from, spiritual power descended upon his body, circled around him, and then withdrew.

"This fresh soul imprint has indeed only been born for half a month."

After sensing it for a while, the old man's expression changed: "To grow this big in just half a month, is this a mutant?"

"Yes!" Ire nodded gently.

"Not bad." The old man showed some interest, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he continued, "Bring it over tomorrow."

"Perfect timing, a batch of contracted beasts will be undergoing trials tomorrow, just the right opportunity."

"Thank you very much then." Hearing this, Ire secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Kapo in front of him and said, "Please put down the payment you are owed; I will personally deliver it to your home later."

"That's good." Capo smiled, seemingly satisfied with the situation.

Having reached an agreement, the two continued chatting for a while before turning around and walking towards the door.

Kapo walked calmly down the street as he quietly stepped out of the manor gate.

"How is the situation?" a voice suddenly rang out, carrying a chilling tone and a unique indifference.

"It's all ready." Hearing this voice, Kapo showed no surprise, simply smiling and nodding. "Tomorrow, Princess Silia's contracted beast will be sent over for baptism—a mutated red beast."

"I'll find an opportunity to make my move when the time comes."

"Alright!" the cold, sinister figure in the shadows replied, then vanished from the corner, instantly leaving the spot and heading into the distance.

After the people lurking in the shadows left, Capo came to his senses, looked at the manor he had just left, and had a strange smile on his face.

"Your Highness, please don't blame me."

"If you have someone to blame, blame yourself for being too stubborn back then."

The thought flashed through his mind, he shook his head, and then walked straight ahead, his figure gradually disappearing at the end of the flat ground.

The next day.

As the warm sunlight rose, Adir silently opened his eyes.

"An unknown bloodline aura..."

Looking at the spacious flat ground in front of him, he was somewhat surprised.

The spacious flat ground before us is now filled with the scents of various creatures.

These creatures possessed powerful auras. In terms of bloodline alone, each one was probably no less powerful than the Crimson Beast, and many of them were even stronger than the Crimson Beast, which surprised Adir.

"Is this what they call baptism?"

Lying quietly on a stone slab, feeling the heat coming from all directions and the throbbing sensation deep within his blood, Adir closed his eyes.

Deep within his body, a force somewhat similar to spiritual power, yet also quite different, was circulating, slowly nourishing his body.

The source of this power is none other than the bloodline contract on his body and on Siria's body.

After half a month of contact, through his interactions with Sirea and others, Adir gained some understanding of the power system of this world.

The power system in this world is entirely based on bloodline contracts.

By forming a bloodline contract with a powerful beast, one can share power and gain access to the beast's immense strength and vitality.

For contracted beasts, signing a bloodline contract allows them to receive nourishment from the mind and soul power of their master, enabling their life level to slowly improve and eventually reach a stronger level.

The higher the talent of the contract master and the stronger the soul talent, the better the contracted beast can grow, which in turn makes the contract master stronger.

This is a completely mutually beneficial system, and its entire foundation is built upon the bloodline contract.

Thinking of this, Adir couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.

The spiritual power of this world does indeed have commonalities, and to some extent, it can even help bloodline beings break through their bloodline limits and go further.

However, this pace is simply too busy.

According to Adir's estimate, under normal circumstances, even if Sirea's talent and soul power wanted to improve her body further, it would take more than twenty years.

For Adir, such a long period of time was practically useless.

"However, this kind of nourishment for the soul is also very interesting..."

Thinking of the unique power this world possessed, Adir's eyes flickered: "While one person's soul power may be weak, what about ten, a hundred, or even tens of thousands?"

"At that point, even a level four bloodline would likely offer significant benefits, greatly increasing the chances of breaking through to level five."

"However, achieving this is probably still a bit difficult at the moment."

Lost in thought, Adir paused for a moment, instinctively sensing that something was amiss.

The Crimson Beast bloodline has been activated and reached maturity, making its perception of the outside world far more acute than that of ordinary knights.

Meanwhile, in the distance, Adir sensed a murderous intent approaching, which made him feel uneasy.

In the distance, a massive shadow broke free of its cage and strode toward Adir.

Sensing this, Adir stood up, his crimson eyes gazing towards the horizon.

"What's going on?!"

From the observation deck in the distance, looking at the scene before them, Seria and Larry were filled with horror.

From their vantage point, the two of them had a clear understanding of Adir's current predicament.

Beside Adir's baptismal site, a colossal beast, three or four meters wide, was approaching, its eyes filled with the purest killing intent.

"Why! Isn't the baptismal site supposed to be isolated? Why are other contracted beasts coming over, and adult ones at that?!"

Looking down at the scene below, Larry was pale and his whole body was trembling.

"Capo!!"

In that instant, Seria thought of someone, and her face turned even paler.
