Volume Dragon: Start by obtaining the Infinity Gems

Chapter 107 Transfiguration and the Burning Breath of God
Dragon Island is located about 500 miles off the coast of Sembia and is famous for the high mountain called Dragon's Back Mountain that stands on the island.

There are many large and small islands around Dragon Island, surrounding the largest Dragon Island, where most of the pirate forces in the Falling Star Sea gather.

The bronze door is located in the Dulaya Trench near Dragon Island.

Adowa Omanth is a temple city built by ancient sea elves, dedicated to the god named Deep Sea Sashela.

Nine hundred years ago, a plague swept across the Falling Star Sea, and this temple city has been buried in the deep Dulaya Trench ever since.

Nemesis stood in front of the deck looking at the scenery in the distance. A seagull landed on his arm, competing with the meerkat on his shoulder for a position on the tome dragon.

"Almost there?"

Nemesis saw the outline of a small island in the distance. They didn't need to get close to Dragon Island. They just needed to go into the water near Dragon Island to reach the Duraya Trench directly.

Audrey was enjoying a comfortable sunbath under a parasol. When she heard the question, she sat up and took out something like a compass.

A blue magic light lit up above. She looked at it for a while and said happily, "We're here! Only five hundred meters to go!"

The sun elf beside her also stood up at this time. She had taken off her hood, and her exquisite and beautiful face was exposed under the sunlight. Her emerald eyes were filled with deep indifference.

She drew the long sword from her waist and said expressionlessly, "Get rid of those ants first."

Audrey was stunned for a moment: "What ants?"

Nemesis raised his chin and looked into the distance: "A group of pirates are coming."

Audrey quickly went to the deck and saw that there were indeed two medium-sized ships heading towards her and her group, with flags with skulls on them.

She was amused: "These pirates are really courting death. They dare to rob the sea wizard's ship."

"You don't have to do anything, let me do it!"

Audrey took out her scepter and began to chant a spell. A violent magic power gathered at the blue gem on the top of the scepter, and then suddenly shot a blue light into the water.

The originally calm sea surface suddenly began to fluctuate, as if it was suddenly stirred by an invisible giant hand. In an instant, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the sea surface. The whirlpool was like a devil's open mouth, greedily swallowing the surrounding seawater. The seawater swirled wildly, surging into waves several meters high, and surging around with the whirlpool as the center.

The power of the whirlpool was so strong that the sea surface seemed to be boiling. The two ships were at the center of the whirlpool, as pitiful and helpless as canoes facing a tsunami. Before the two ships were swallowed by the terrible whirlpool, a figure suddenly flew from the ships into the sky.

Audrey, who had just summoned the whirlpool, sat down weakly, looked at the people flying quickly in the distance, waved her hand and said, "I leave it to you."

Without waiting for Nemesis to make a move, Gafnas walked in front of him and said coldly, "Leave it to me, dragon, save your spell slot."

I have more spell slots than I can use up.

Nemesis thought so in his heart and did not refute. He was happy that he didn't have to do anything. It would be best if this sun elf could be so self-conscious in the rest of the journey. He liked such a self-conscious meat shield the most. He was powerful and would not let the mage get his hands dirty.

However, in order to prevent the Sun Elf from using his excessive contributions as an excuse to get a larger share of the spoils in the end, the cunning Tome Dragon symbolically added several strengthening spells to it.

Six spells including [Bear's Endurance], [Bull's Strength], [Cat's Grace], etc. appeared on the Sun Elf in a flash, and divine spells such as [Arcane Shield] and [Blessing] that could enhance defense also strengthened it.

After this set of strengthening exercises, Catherine paused. She looked at the humanoid dragon behind her with strange eyes. Is this the way to use spell slots so freely?
Although she felt a little dissatisfied with her temporary companion for wasting spell slots, the proud Sun Elf still accepted what she considered to be "goodwill."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Nemesis waved his hand and lay down on a recliner, leisurely watching the sun elves rushing into the sky and fighting with the other side.

"Sea Wizard!! Damn it!! How dare you destroy the Pirate King's ship!"

The man flying in the sky was obviously a spellcaster. He pointed at the Audrey and cursed angrily, seeming to be very horrified that he had destroyed the ship.

But his cursing did not last long, for the next moment he was interrupted by a figure rushing up from the boat.

"Damn it!"

The man quickly activated the magic item, and an invisible [force field wall] appeared in front of him. Using [flying magic], Catherine suddenly retracted the force of the sword in her hand that was stabbing at the force field wall. She knew that she could not break the wall with her own strength alone.

But as a level 12 swordsinger, Gafnus not only possesses the supernatural power of sword song, but also has very good physical fitness. The agile sun elf adjusted her position in the air, stepped on the force field wall with her feet, stepped back a few meters, and sprinted downward at a very fast speed, intending to bypass the force field wall and sneak attack the opponent from bottom to top.

The man was not to be outdone and chanted a spell with a sneer.

Fourth-level transformation spell——[Transfiguration]!
A crow suddenly flew out from his chest and quickly approached the sea surface. The magic in the man's hand hit the crow the moment his pet approached the sea surface.

"boom!"

The crow instantly turned into an over thirty-meter-long level 11 monster - a deep-sea squid!
The man's body disappeared the next moment, and he just avoided the attack of Catherine and teleported to the top of the squid's huge head.

"A transformation mage?" Nemesis looked at the squid with interest.

The fourth-level transformation spell [Transfiguration] is the core of the transformation system in the early stage and is a spell that transformers must master.

This spell can transform a target into any type of creature, provided that the creature's level is equal to or less than the original creature's level.

This is also the reason why the familiar can be the best carrier of transfiguration. The level of the familiar is shared with the caster. This wizard is obviously at least level 11 to be able to transform his familiar into a deep-sea squid.

However, as a fourth-level spell, [Transfiguration] still has its limitations. After the transformation, the magical pet inherits all the attributes and body shape of the deep-sea squid, but cannot use any of the deep-sea squid's supernatural abilities, nor can it cast spells.

Therefore, the best targets for Transfiguration are monsters that can only fight in melee combat. As for other powerful monsters, there are naturally special transformation spells like [Secondary Dragon Form]. The red dragon it transforms into is no different from a real teenage red dragon!
Unfortunately, most powerful monsters do not have corresponding transformation spells, and the dragon clan was developed by those transformers after spending a lot of time researching.

Most of the time, transformers can only transform monsters that are not very powerful, or choose to use [Transfiguration] to transform them into powerful monsters that are only for show and have lost the ability to cast spells.

However, this situation can be improved when reaching the ninth ring. The ultimate ninth-ring spell of the Transfiguration System - [Ultimate Transfiguration] has a similar effect to Transfiguration, but the difference is that it inherits all the abilities of the object being transformed.

In other words, if the level of the Nine-Ring Transfiguration Mage is high enough, he can even transform into a Balrog and possess all of its abilities!

The man in front of him chose to transform his pet into a deep-sea squid. It was obviously a well-thought-out decision. After all, in the ocean, the deep-sea squid is the most powerful melee creature among the eleventh-level monsters.

From this point, it can be judged that the level of this transformer should not exceed level 11.

Catherine quickly analyzed the situation on the battlefield in her mind, then took a deep breath and began to release her magic power.

The long sword in her hand, which was inlaid with a black gem the size of a pebble, lit up with black flames, and an aura of burning everything and annihilating all things emanated from it.

Nemesis' eyes widened and he sat up from his chair: "Sub-artifact?!"

He would not be wrong. The black flame burning on the sword had an extremely strong magical aura. Although he could not recognize what kind of magic it was, it was definitely at the ninth ring level.

Catherine stood in the sky, pointing her sword at the squid with an indifferent look in her eyes.

"It is your honor to die under the "Burning God's Breath"."

"How... How is this possible!" The man swallowed. As a spellcaster, although he did not have the abnormal perception of the Scroll Dragon, he was not blind. He could also feel the terrifying power of the black flame.

The tall and graceful figure of the sun elf flashed by like a misty cloud, leaving a black mark in the air. The deep-sea squid instinctively raised its tentacles to slap the little thing flying towards it, but it lost the sense of touch where the long sword passed.

With a "boom", black flames burned on the tentacles, and the tentacles broke into two pieces. The section connected to the body quickly transmitted black flames to the body. The deep-sea squid hissed in pain and struggled in the sea, trying to use sea water to put out the flames on its body.

But it didn't work.

Under the cold gaze of Catherine, the black flames burned the giant squid and the man on it to ashes. Even after losing its host, the black flame flowers still floated on the sea, evaporating the sea water.

The black flames disappeared only when the Sun Elf put away his sword.

At this time, Nemesis had just finished using [Knowing Legends] and was shocked by the information about the [Sub-Artifact] he had discovered.

"Burning God's Breath", a legendary wizard named Cyprus sacrificed his own life at the end of his life, and under strange circumstances, merged a little bit of the spider's power to forge a sub-artifact. The black flame attached to it is the embodiment of the terrible nine-ring evocation spell [Flame of Hunting Divine Power]. Once a day, its user can use this terrible spell to instantly kill any ant that dares to provoke her."

A nine-ring Shaping spell, this sub-artifact clearly possessed the ultimate destructive power. Even if this power could only be used once a day, it was enough to deal with most enemies below the legendary level.

Catherine flew back to the boat and said coldly that she wanted to rest for a night before going into the water. Nemesis, who had already investigated thoroughly, knew that the other party wanted to wait until the artifact recovered its power.
