Mage Manual-Chapter 1463 - 1066: Whatever You Think

The Blood Thorn Dragon Hunter spread its bony wings recklessly, with the air currents shrieking according to his will. Enormous rocks rose from the ground. As he lunged at Ash, his claws unleashed a blood-colored cloud of corrosion, with countless rocks shooting towards Ash, creating a majestic momentum as if the sky were collapsing!

This was not a creature of the Void Realm, but a Demigod Mage!

Ash made an accurate judgment instantly. He had long heard that in the Earth Abyss Realm, a special magic faction known as Parasitic still existed. Parasitic Mages combine themselves with Void Realm creatures, allowing them to transform into these creatures at will to fight, entering a ’parasitic’ state. Furthermore, even in this parasitic state, they can still use other Miracles, possessing both the physique of a Dragon Beast and the wisdom of a mage!

There was no doubt that this Blood Thorn Dragon Hunter before him was a Parasitic Demigod!

Ash simultaneously used the Sword Barrier and Refraction Protection. The Sword Barrier was instantly shattered by the rock impact, while the Refraction Protection, after being grazed by the Dragon Hunter’s claw, only lost one layer of its protection, but carelessly touching the surrounding blood-colored cloud caused an additional loss.

Ash raised an eyebrow. He had thought the Sword Barrier could fend off the rock fragments, but unexpectedly, these rocks seemed reinforced by the Dragon Hunter, with a weight and hardness beyond imagination. Treating them as ordinary rocks for defense would surely bring disaster.

The Blood Thorn Dragon Hunter appeared impulsive and reckless, but each ordinary assault was filled with cunning and deceit. A slight carelessness could result in severe injury... this is the fighting standard of a demigod from Hell!

Ash rapidly retreated, moving the Heart Sword at will, instantaneously laying down layers of ink traces like a net ahead. When the Blood Thorn Dragon Hunter lunged forward, the ink traces, like threads, tightly entangled it, forcibly carving out countless wounds!

Miracle · Heart Pen!

Although the Blood Thorn Dragon Hunter instantly recovered from the injuries, Ash was already very satisfied—this was just a normal Miracle forcefully enhanced to a Legendary level, and being able to stall a Demigod for even a second was a victory.

It now seemed the Heart Pen still had certain potential. If possible, Ash planned to construct a new Wonder based on the Heart Pen in the future. Not only for its usefulness but also because the Miracle held great sentimental value to him... it was as important as the Heart Sword and Substitute.

During the chase, Ash tested his other Miracles, but the results were not very satisfactory. At that moment, Ash suddenly quivered, feeling a massive pressure drop onto him which could have twisted an ordinary person into a pulp instantly, but the Refraction Protection bought him crucial reaction time.

The Gravity Wonder... quite impressive, I want it too!

He lifted his eyes, seeing the Fierce Claw of the Blood Thorn Dragon Hunter already in close proximity.

You want Hell, then I will give you Hell!

Wonder · Demon Form!

Ash’s body surface emanated darkness resembling asphalt, molding him into a tall and ferocious demon. His hands automatically transformed into two sharp blades, completely unfazed by the overwhelming pressure, facing the Blood Frenzy Dragon Hunter head-on!

The Demon Form also originated from the Parasitic Faction’s Wonder. During the transformation into a demon, all the mage’s resistances massively increase. Any damage taken is borne by the demon, merely reducing the transformation time without harming the mage’s true form. The demon’s hands can morph into any weapon. If the mage’s understanding of the weapon is deep enough, they can even transform it into a special weapon of Wonder level!

The blades clashed with the Fierce Claw, the blades unscarred while the Fierce Claw shattered a piece. The Blood Frenzy Dragon Hunter’s entire body vibrated with thorns and was sent flying by the terrifying force!

This was only natural. What level of Wonder was the Blood Frenzy Dragon Hunter’s transformation? Lower? Intermediate? Upper? Even if it was an Upper Wonder, it must be constrained by the scale of the Magic Temple. But the Wonder "Demon Form" required nearly ten Magic Temples to piece together a base to even contain it, a Supreme Wonder, the only trump card of the large faction "Ancient Castle"!

The Blood Frenzy Dragon Hunter quickly stabilized itself, attempting to fight again, but Ash no longer needed him to test his past Miracles. Now he wanted to test... the new Wonder he had just acquired!

Ash’s sinister demonic body emitted a golden glow, and at the moment of attacking the Dragon Hunter, the golden light transformed into chains binding the Dragon Hunter, causing the enormous monster to become stationary!

Consumable Wonder · Time Lock, locks the enemy’s time upon hit! Although extremely practical, it’s not calculated by attack counts but by lock time consumption. The total lock time accumulated in the Wonder is 25 seconds, meaning if Ash used it all at once, he could lock the Blood Frenzy Dragon for a whole 25 seconds!

However, if the enemy is attacked, it consumes more than ten times the time to lock the enemy, that is, spending 10 seconds to pummel the enemy for 1 second. Additionally, the stronger the enemy, the more time consumed. Therefore, the correct use of Time Lock is to spend 1 second locking the enemy, then relocate to the best attack position.

Ash landed on the Blood Frenzy Dragon Hunter’s neck, the blade in his right hand resonating with a crisp wind song. He stabbed fiercely, plunging the blade into the back neck, precisely piercing through the spine, as the wind’s screams resonated, a multitude of Sword Traces erupting from within the Blood Frenzy Dragon Hunter. The demon roared almost joyfully, rushing down along the clearly visible spine, the blades cleaving through each hard bone segment, fountains of blood spraying up behind him, and the Dragon Hunter’s entire body shattered into countless fragments, falling into pieces!

Wonder · Sword Blade Storm!
