Taming Master-Chapter 511 - The Ultimate Magical Beast Transmutation 2

In the 107th district of the Devildom.

The place was normal, it was one of the hunting grounds for the players of the Devildom.

But a few months ago there were a lot of users crowded in there,

Most of them were the users of the Summoning class’s Devil-summon class.

To be precise, they were gathering in the outskirts of the 107th district for the Institute of Cervian.

Ian had made the content of the ‘Magical beast transmutation’ known to all, which was why many users wanted to transmutate the magical beast that had come into the institute of Cervian.

General users who weren’t ‘Magical Beast Alchemists’ went to the lab of Cervian to get equipped, and that was the only way for them to do the task.

Which was why the laboratory of Cervian was very lively today.

“Uahhh! Failed again!”

“OMG, did you make up your mind and decide to place lower level magic stones? Huh?”

“Yeah, hehe, maybe I should raise the level first?”

“Hold on, kid. I used an intermediate magic stone and lost it.”

There were some users who were sharing their saddened stories of unsuccessful beast transmutations…

“Oh, success!”

“Oho, what? Intermediate? Advanced?”

“Kiyaahh, this hyung has finally succeeded in forming a higher-level magical beast!”

“OMG, it’s a python. Shouldn’t you be sharing that recipe to us too?”

And there were users who successfully were screaming on top of their lungs for getting a higher rank magical beasts.

However, Cervian, the owner of the institute, wasn’t so pleased with the guests who were filling the institutes.

“Oh, those despicable people. I am not able to find a nice guy even if I try to brainwash myself into liking them.”

Not even a single user who had been there for the beast alchemy had been successful in raising the teaching institute of Cervian.

Surely, because of the costs that were paid for the magical beast transmutation, the lad had grown ten times when compared to the past, but it was an entirely different matter.

“I should head to my room and do some research…”

Cervian was grumbling as he stepped into his lab that was at the innermost level of the lab.

There was one assignment that he was stuck with, the one that Ian had given to him.

It was more of a curiosity than an assignment.

Arriving into the lab and fell into the chair that he loved.

– Cervan, I have something I’m curious about.

– Oh, my student is asking me a question after a very long time. Yes. Ask me. I’m not so sure if I can answer it right away.

– Of the existing magical beasts, which one of them is the most compatible with combat?

– Hmm…? Isn’t that a bit of a too vague for a question?

– What is?

– Nothing, just think about it. You might know it too, there aren’t just one or two factors which define the combat ability of any creature. In addition, the magical beasts are all from the same category.

– Aha, I didn’t ask what magical beast was the strongest, Cervan.

– Hmm? Then what did you want to ask?

– I literally meant ‘combat ability’.

– …?

– To place it simply, the beast with the highest stats.

– Aha.

– It doesn’t matter if the guy is crazy smart like Kaka, it doesn’t matter if the balance of the stat is good. All I want is a magical beast that has the highest total of all the stats.

– Hmm, then that…

Wasn’t it around three months?

Cervian recalled the conversation with Ian that he had in the past and gathered the attention.

“Well, why was he so curious about it?”

The highest sum of all the stats certainly wasn’t going to be a meaningless indicator.

But that didn’t lead to actual combat itself.

Efficient combat power could be exerted when the stats distribution was configured efficiently.

Cervian’s thoughts continued.

– Oh, Cervian, you know that right?

– Huhu, you’re not overestimating me, are you?

– Huh?

– No matter how much I move across a region, I can’t possibly know all the existing magical beasts stats.

– Ha, that so?

– But I can certainly answer you.

– Hmm?

– You, said that you had faced ‘behemoth’ the other day, right?

– Yeah. That is right. That muscular pig…

– There is a recipe that I have, and I am certain that it will be of a huge help.

– Oh oh, what is that?

– Just wait a minute. Actually I put it in the corner of the lab as I thought that it wasn’t very useful to me anymore.

Cervian opened his eyes.

And he began to mess around the parchment while writing something in dark red letters.

[‘Giant Behemoth’ Magical Beast Transmutater Recipe]

“Will that Ian really be able to make a giant behemoth?”

Like the behemoth, the giant behemoth too was one of the ‘legend’ rankers magical beast.

The giant behemoth was the perfect beast that Ian had always wanted.

If he could succeed in making the transmutation, then that would be a magical beast with outstanding stats that none of the current ones have.

“That guy is surely great for the stats. He would be one and a half times more powerful than the normal behemoth, nah, two times stronger.”

However, there was a problem with that.

“But what to do? He is the type who is so dull, that nothing can’t be done…”

All those stats of vitality, power and ‘devil energy’ surely were great.

In a nutshell; the beast had a lot of defense and attack power, but the agility was so low that it was much lower than that of the normal behemoth.

Ian’s goal was to create the strongest magical beast.

And that was the same for Cervian as well.

Which was why Cervian wasn’t able to understand why Ian had taken that recipe.

The magical beasts that were being combined for the making of the giant behemoth, they seemed like the strongest magical beasts from every direction.

“What is it? Am I not able to sleep because of this curiousness?”

Cervian was mumbling in a small voice, shook his head and laughed at himself.

His student Ian must surely show something tremendously great.

* * *

Tring-!

[You have successfully captured the intermediate level magical beast ‘Giant Cowell’!]

[You’ve captured 300 ‘Giant Cowell’ magical beasts so far!]

[You have earned the title, ‘Cowell Specialist’!]

[Fame increased by 50,000!]

Seeing the system’s messages appearing in front of his eyes, Ian wiped off the sweat on this forehead.

“Phew, 300 huh… wouldn’t that be enough?”

The giant Cowell was a giant tanking beast that looked similar to that of an elephant.

Among the intermediate magical beasts, the tankers were the most efficient ones, and it was one of the most favorite summon for the Asmodian-summoners.

It was all because of the good efficiency when compared to the leadership that was needed to operate the guy around.

And Ian too was holding onto that one right now, but he wasn’t trying to use them for the purpose of battle.

“Hmm, I need to sit down for now, and then start the disassemble?”

Ian had already been in the Devildom and had been going around hunting down the magical beasts.

And that’s all because of the giant behemoth recipe that Ian had taken from Cervian.

To build the best magical beast, Ian thought that he needed a giant behemoth, and the work that he was doing all this time was to gather the ingredients that went into the recipe.

“Magical beast disintegration! Magical Beast disintegration!”

A unique skill that was only possessed by the Magical beast alchemists.

‘Magical beast disintegration’ had started to resonate the succession with the words that flowed out of Ian’s mouth.

And as a result, system messages began to appear in front of him.

Tring-!

[You have successfully disintegrated the magical beast ‘Giant Cowell’!]

[Magical Beast Disintegration skill has been increased by 0.02 percent!]

[You have earned the item ‘Cowell’s Hard Ivory’.]

[You have earned low-level magic stones.]

[You have earned the ‘intermediate experience beads’ item.]

[You have successful disintegrated the magical beast ‘Giant Cowell’!]

[Magical Beast Disintegration skill has been increased by 0.02 percent!]

(Syncopation)

[You have successfully disintegrated the magical beast ‘Giant Cowell’!]

[You have obtained a rare material item!]

[You have earned the item ‘Cowell’s Hem’!]

“Ah, the first one!”

Cowell’s Hem, one of the key items that were needed for making the Giant Behemoth.

But the drop rate was almost 1 percent, so Ian’s hunt had been endless.

And he had to gather around a total of 5 hems for it.

And the Cowell’s Hem wasn’t the end.

“Heart of Parphs. Dark Golem’s magic stone. I’m busy. I have to get everything by the week…”

Ian didn’t rest.

No, he couldn’t rest.

Even at the moment, Shakran along with the Titan guild would be in the Underworld hunting and having fun.

‘Yet, there are limits for hunting in the Dark Abyss… but I can’t be relieved.’

For Ian, the non-stop hunting was boring but at the same time, it was addictive.

And as a result, Ian realized that a week had passed in an instant.

* * *

“Nice!”

Ckuk-!

The Lotus Castle, the Capital of the Lotus Kingdom.

Entering his spacious room, Ian pulled out all the ingredients that were needed to create the giant behemoth.

“Firstly, I’ll have to set up the main body…”

Ian took the best of the three behemoth juniors.

The monster that will become the next ingredient…

“Kid, come here.”

He was the other one of the three behemoth juniors.

In order to make the giant behemoth, two behemoths were needed.

Woong-!

The transmutation circle was floating in the air and vibrating, then continued giving out energy.

And the two legendary grade magical beasts entered the circle and another layer of the circle intensely began to emerge.

[From now, the magical beast transmutation will start.]

[Do you want to set the legendary being ‘behemoth’ as the main unit?]

“Okay.”

[Do you want to set the legendary being ‘behemoth’ as the material 1?]

“Yes.”

After setting up the two magical beasts that were the base for the transmutation, an additional message came in front of Ian.

[You can set additional items and magical beasts needed for the transmutation.]

Along with the message opened the inventory of Ian.

Ian was concerned for a while and pulled out the advanced level magic stone that he had saved.

‘According to Cervian, this is a recipe with a low probability of failure…’

Just because the failure probability was low, it didn’t mean that it would work great.

And this wasn’t something that ever had to fail.

By knowing the basic chances of the magical beast transmutation, one would put in the magic stones right away, but one couldn’t figure out unless the system code was opened.

Along with the magic stone, even the tear of Ian had dropped.

[Added the ‘Advanced Magic Stone’ as a material.]

[Synthesis success chance increased by 50%.]

And then Ian put the ingredients of the recipe that he collected into the magic circle.

[Added the item ‘Giant Cowell Hem x 5’.]

[Added the item ‘Heart of Parphs’.]

[Added the item ‘Dark Golem’s Magic stone x 25’.]

(Syncopation)

[Added the item ‘advanced sprit stone’.]

With all the ingredients, Ian gulped with his dry throat and slowly activated the magic circle.

[Once all the items have been set up for the transmutation, the magical beast transmutation can be started.]

In front of Ian, two behemoths were floating in the air and at the same time, the magic stone which was sucked into the magic circle started to give out intense brilliance.

“Please…!”

The most important transmutation Ian had ever done till now, wasn’t supposed to fail.

Ian’s hands slowly went into the air and devil energy came out from it. Two behemoths were wrapped by it.

Kuoo-!

Mysterious red air and white light combined.

After a while, white light filled the whole room and a new magical beast was born.

Tring-!

[The ‘magical beast transmutation’ has been successfully completed.]

[The magical beast transmutation skill has been increased by 8.5%.]

[Transmutation rank: C+]

[Since the level of rank is below B, the rank of the beast doesn’t increase.]

[Legendary beast, ‘Giant Behemoth’ has been born.]

C+ rank—a certainly disappointing one.

But Ian’s expression wasn’t sad or embarrassed.

The result that Ian had received was the exact thing that he wanted.
