HP: The Root of Everything - The Magician

After Silver-haired Teach finished discussing with Andre and the others, Xia Ke woke up at just the right time.

Good morning, Xia Ke.

"Master, it's nighttime now." After a short nap, Xia Ke felt much better, and the energy she had used to control her dragon transformation had been fully restored.

Seeing this, the silver-haired Teach wanted to know what kind of state Xia Ke's 'human-dragon' was in.

Xia Ke obeyed the order and demonstrated it in front of the five people.

First, there are changes in body parts. Under Xia Ke's control, the dragon transformation phenomenon can appear wherever she wants.

The next step in dragonification is the 'dragon girl' form, which has a dragon tail and some bone spurs on its face.

Complete dragonification means transforming into a mutated crimson dragon that exceeds 30 meters in length, reaching 40 meters... But each time you fully transform, your clothes will wear out a bit.

However, in terms of combat stance, the dragon girl form is the most suitable. This form not only possesses all the power, physical defense, and magical defense of a fully-formed dragon, but also has control over and partial domination of natural magic.

Because the dragon girl's form is virtually indistinguishable from a human's, she possesses incredible speed in battle. The wings on her back, enhanced by natural magic, grant her agility far surpassing that of any known magical creature.

Xia Ke is no longer human, because she has a magical source within her that is only found in magical creatures.

She wasn't a wizard, but because of the magical energy source unique to this magical creature, Shake could cast spells without a wand. Moreover, her entire body was now filled with magical energy pores, and the magical power flowing out of these pores was incomparable to that of any wizard.

Teach used his petrifying magic eye to examine the natural magic gathered within and around Shake at that moment, and judged that, in terms of magic power alone, it was 7 times that of Albus Dumbledore, the most powerful white wizard at present.

At the same time, Xia Ke is not a magical creature, because simply put, she has a human body and appearance, as well as an internal structure.

Not human, not wizard, and certainly not a magical creature, the current Shake Karl is a new intelligent life form that transcends the genetic evolution of all living beings in this world.

After understanding Shake's condition and form, the silver-haired Teach thoughtfully inscribed a permanent single-material conversion training circle on the back of her hand, solving the problem of her clothes bursting when she transformed.

After finishing the drawing, Teach clapped his hands, shifting the attention of Andrei and the other three from Shake, and said after they gathered together, "Then, let's begin."

“Take me and Shake back to McFastie Island.”

After saying that, Xia Ke took off her training clothes, controlled her dragon form transformation, and compressed her body length to the 15-meter length it was when the experiment failed at the beginning.

......

Nighttime, on the surface of the Atlantic Ocean.

Andri stood on the back of the dragon Anmoli, leading the way.

Yeva, Anbilan, and Qiluoluo, the three members of the Karl family, surrounded the 'criminal' silver-haired Titch and the 'sin dragon' Shakokar.

Behind the procession followed 36 ordinary black dragons that had survived the treatment.

Enveloped in a protective spell, it flew towards the McFastie family.

......

The MacFastie family, in the castle.

A grotesque, skeletal figure, resembling a dried-up corpse, sat on a stone chair. His withered skin was covered with IV tubes of various sizes, from which flowed...red blood.

As the blood in the blood bag was absorbed by the strange man through the IV tube, his skin gradually became fuller, and its color changed from grayish-white to a rosy hue.

After fully recovering, he licked his lips with lingering satisfaction, then suppressed his hunger and looked down at the elder guarding the castle, kneeling on one knee, and said, "01, failed, and may already be dead."

These casual words frightened the elder guardian so much that he immediately knelt down, pressing his forehead to the floor, too afraid to utter a word.

"I sensed that the oath I bestowed upon him by the Dragon Sorcerer 02 had lost its connection, and at the same time, I had lost control over him."

"But whether 01 lives or dies, his failure renders him worthless."

"Don't you think so, my descendants?"

The elder guardian dared not look up, for he already felt a strong suppression of his bloodline. He replied tremblingly, "Yes...yes, just as you, Ancestor Marcus, said, those who fail have no value."

"Good, then let me ask you, did you succeed in the experiment I gave you?"

Faced with this question, the guardian elder could not answer, but under the questioning of his ancestor Marcus, he had no choice but to answer truthfully: "We are currently... still in the... failure stage, but we beg you, ancestor, to give us more time, and we will surely be able to complete it for you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Marcus's angry slapping sound silenced the elder: "How many years? Do you know how many years I've waited? A full 600 years! I lay in that coffin for a full 6 years, and when I was forced to wake up, you told me the experiment was still in the failure stage."

"Ancestors, we beg your forgiveness, we..."

"Shut up, you're right~ Failures have no value. The appearance of the training array has made me lose patience to wait any longer."

After saying this, a stream of blood gushed from Marcus's body, piercing the neck of the guardian elder and draining him dry.

'That's right, those who fail have no value...'

After repeating this sentence, Marcus, barefoot, spread his bat-like blood wings and flew out of the castle under the moonlight.

......

Silver-haired Teach sat leisurely on the back of the dragon that Shake had transformed into, and slowly arrived at the island's edge, surrounded and 'protected' by Andri and the others.

As soon as they arrived, Andri and the other three, along with Xia Ke, felt an extremely strange sensation.

At the same time, the silver-haired Teach also inexplicably sensed something strange. He stood up, took off the Mystic Eyes from the bridge of his nose, and used his Petrifying Mystic Eyes to look at the islands inside and outside the barrier. However, the Petrifying Mystic Eyes could not penetrate the barrier.

After everyone became alert and puzzled, Andri jumped off the dragon's back and carefully flew into the barrier.

After a long while, Andri appeared, frowning as he gestured for them to go inside and talk.

When everyone entered, they understood why Andri frowned. The island's sky, which had been shrouded in clouds, was now empty, shrouded in a dark, blood-red hue.

The full moon in the sky also turned blood red under the shroud.

The Muggle neighborhood, which is usually quite lively even at night, was deserted at this time, despite the lights being on.

The forest, usually filled with the roar of dragons, was now eerily quiet, devoid of its usual activity.

Just as Andri, Shake, and the others were filled with tension and confusion, a voice resounded in their blood, ordering them to go to the castle immediately for an audience.

The familiar voice, which he had heard once before, and the words "to pay homage," instantly made the eldest, Andri, tense. He explained in a low voice, "I heard this voice from within my bloodline two hundred years ago when I was experimenting to become a dragon shaman."

"The ancestor... the ancestor of the McFast family has fully awakened."

[Ancestors? What ancestors?]

It's no wonder that Yeva, Sibilan, Qiluoluo, and Xia Ke were puzzled. They had been dragon witches for a shorter time than Andri, and by then the dragon witches produced through experiments were no longer unique. Therefore, it was normal that they did not hear Marcus's voice transmitted to them through blood.

After a moment of tension, Andri took the lead and addressed the crowd.

“Let’s go. We who have his blood in our veins cannot refuse the summons of our ancestor.”
