Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 372 Completion
While Ron was focused on forging the magic sword, Nari was not idle either.

She extended dozens of branching tentacles, exploring every corner of the twisted jungle like seaweed.

As an ancient being who has lived in the abyss for thousands of years, she knows every inch of this land like the back of her hand.

"My child needs the tears of the newborn beast..."

Nari recalled the information he had received through the consciousness link:
“Those little things are hard to catch and even harder to preserve… but for a mother, nothing is impossible.”

The Primordial Beast is one of the most mysterious creatures in the fourth layer of the Abyss.

They resemble young children, but their entire bodies are covered with crystal-clear skin, and their internal organs are clearly visible.

What's most special about them are their eyes, which are as pure as liquid gems, and their tears contain extremely precious spiritual purifying factors.

However, these creatures are extremely timid, and will immediately flee into spatial rifts if they sense any danger.

Even for specialized institutions like observation stations, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient stockpile of newborn beast tears.

"found it……"

Nari's tentacles discovered two sleeping newborn beasts in a hidden cave.

They huddled together, their transparent bodies emitting a faint glow in the dim light.

But the moment the tentacles approached, the newborn beast awoke with a start, its eyes filled with innocent fear.

They emitted a clear, bell-like cry, and their bodies began to emanate spatial fluctuations, preparing to escape.

"Don't be afraid, little ones... Mommy won't hurt you..."

Nari gently soothed him while releasing a special chaotic force field.

This force field is not offensive, but rather a gentle modification that temporarily disables the nascent beast's ability to escape.

"Mom just needs some of your tears... In exchange, Mom will give you even greater strength..."

Under the influence of chaotic forces, the primordial beasts began to undergo wondrous changes.

Their bodies became more stable and they were no longer so easily startled.

At the same time, the efficiency of tear production is greatly improved, and each drop contains a purer spiritual essence.

"This way, they can provide my children with the materials they need for a long time..."

Nari placed the modified newborn beast into a specially made sac, where the environment perfectly simulated their native habitat.

As she continued her search, another of her tentacles discovered a metal remnant half-buried in a jungle of flesh and blood.

"This is...that little robot?"

The "Explorer One" golem is severely damaged, with most of its outer armor falling off and its internal magic circuits broken in many places.

However, the core control system remains intact and is even still operating weakly.

"Poor little thing...lost in its mother's storm..."

Nari carefully dug the golem out of the ground and began to examine the extent of the damage:
"But there's still hope... Mom has a way to fix you..."

She released a wisp of chaotic power and began to deeply modify the golem.

The damaged armor was replaced by newly formed bio-metal, and the broken magic circuits were reconnected by active nerve fibers.

Most importantly, the golem's control system was enhanced by the power of chaos, gaining a higher level of intelligence and adaptability.

"Now you're not just a tool, you're a real assistant..."

After the renovation, "Explorer One" looks brand new.

It has a more streamlined appearance and is covered with adaptive armor that changes according to the environment.

What is most striking is its "eyes"—two intelligent cores emitting a deep blue light.

"Thank you, great Lord Nari."

The golem spoke in a more fluent voice than before, even carrying a hint of gratitude:
“I can feel the new abilities you have given me... I will strive to serve my master.”

………………

"Now we can proceed to the third step: the magic amplification crystal and the integration of one's own bloodline."

This is the most dangerous step in the entire process.

If the different energy sources contained in a crystal are not handled properly, they may cause a catastrophic explosion.

Ron carefully brought the crystal close to the soul steel and immediately felt a strong repulsion between the two.

The life-giving properties of Soul Steel are in fundamental conflict with the artificial characteristics of Crystal.

"The coordination mechanism in the middle is the very bloodline origin of the creator..."

He took out a small bottle of dark red liquid from his storage bag.

This is my own blood, but after special treatment, it contains all the characteristics and information of my bloodline.

Under the "supernatural perception" vision, this blood slowly writhed like a living thing, with dark gold energy patterns flowing inside.

"The Demon Sword needs to establish a bloodline resonance with its maker... but the Substitute Puppet is an extension of my consciousness, so this resonance exists naturally..."

He began to inscribe bloodline runes on the key parts of the puppet.

"The harmonizing properties of the Chimera bloodline... and the purifying power of dragon blood enhanced by the Sun Avatar..."

Blood slowly seeped along the rune patterns, and the puppet's internal structure began to undergo fundamental changes.

The originally rigid material became flexible and elastic, and subtle textures resembling those of a living organism began to appear on its surface.

But the real difficulties are yet to come.

“Mental guidance...this is the most skill-testing part.”

Ron took a deep breath, activated "The Star Eater's Whispers," and put his consciousness into the state most suitable for precise operation.

He needs to use his mental power to guide the flow of blood essence within the puppet's body.

This allows it to establish a perfect connection with every rune node and every energy channel.

This process is like performing an extremely delicate surgery; any slight deviation could lead to the collapse of the entire structure.

Mental energy, like countless fine threads, extends into the puppet's interior, guiding the bloodline energy to flow along a pre-set path.

During this process, Ron could clearly sense every change the puppet was undergoing:
The rune network began to merge with the bloodline essence, creating a new energy circulation pattern;

The material structure is rearranged at the molecular level, resulting in greater flexibility and conductivity.
Most importantly, a complex network, similar to a nervous system, began to take shape within the puppet's body...

"Success... Bloodline fusion complete."

Ron wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling the new feedback coming from the puppet.

It is no longer a simple alchemical creation, but a composite entity with certain life characteristics.

As power was injected, the repulsion between the soul steel and the crystal began to ease.

Two completely different substances begin to resonate subtly under the clear guidance of the blood vessels.

But the most crucial step is yet to come—the division and sealing of the soul.

This is the most dangerous and important step in crafting a master sword.

"A fragment of the soul must be separated and sealed within the sword's core... to give the weapon an independent will..."

Ron stared at the magic-amplifying crystal on the puppet's chest, the container that would become the soul fragment.

He recalled the state of Edric and Morgan in their final moments, their resolute decision to leave a part of themselves forever in their weapons.

"Their experience has shown me the way... Now it's time to surpass them..."

He closed his eyes, his consciousness diving deep into the very depths of his soul.

“My situation is different from those magic swordsmen… The substitute puppet itself is an extension of my consciousness… This separation is more like… reintegration.”

Deep within his consciousness, he could feel his soul as vast and complex as a galaxy, where the light of various stars and streams of seven-colored magic converged in one place.

Which part to choose?

After careful consideration, Ron decided to separate the parts related to "exploration" and "adaptation".

These qualities are best suited to a weapon that needs to fight in various environments, and are also most in line with his pragmatic principles.

The process of soul separation is accompanied by intense mental turmoil.

He felt his consciousness being sliced ​​open by a sharp blade, a part of his self being peeled away.

For someone with a "dual soul," this part wasn't too difficult, and the separation process went relatively smoothly.

And the moment the division was completed, a miracle occurred.

A burst of intense light suddenly erupted from within the magic amplification crystal.

The soul fragments and the crystal structure merged perfectly, creating a brand new core.

The puppet began to breathe on its own.

Its chest rose and fell rhythmically, and the runes on its surface changed brightness with each "heartbeat".

Ron gazed at his masterpiece, a sense of accomplishment he had never felt before welling up inside him.

"Success..."

Looking at the strange creation before him, radiating the light of life, a tremendous sense of accomplishment welled up within him:
"This material possesses the life affinity of Soul Steel and the energy conversion ability of Crystal."

As consciousness fully merges, the material begins its final transformation.

It was no longer a static block of metal, but began to flow, like a living liquid.

Under Ron's conscious guidance through the fragments of his soul, the material began to take shape.

The hilt, guard, blade... every part is shaped under precise control.

What finally appeared before them was a strange weapon unlike any they had ever seen before.

The sword blade had a flowing, mercury-like luster, and the network of runes on its surface pulsated like blood vessels.

The hilt retains some of the characteristics of a puppet, with a smooth, jade-like texture and an excellent feel.

The most eye-catching feature is the "eye" in the center of the sword, which is the core of the magic amplification crystal.

This eye changes color according to the user's emotions; it is currently emitting a gentle blue light. [Alchemy (Mastery) Experience +1]

[Enchanting (Proficient) Experience +1]

Bloodline Shaping (Proficient) Experience Points +1

……

[Special creation detected as complete]

The creation of the Demon Sword has been completed.

All requirements for the Demon Swordsman (2.5 stars) class change have been met.

Should I change my class to "Magic Swordsman (2.5 stars)"?

Ron confirmed without hesitation.

Light converged from the void, reshaping his body structure like a cascading galaxy.

He could feel an unprecedentedly close connection between himself and the demonic sword, as if his body had gained a new organ.

This job change brings about comprehensive changes, not only in terms of attribute enhancement, but also in a fundamental change in combat style.

[Job Change Successful: Spellsword (Two and a Half Stars)]

1. Spells cast using the magic sword will have enhanced power and accuracy.
2. Alchemical creations can synchronize their energy with the magic sword.
3. Increased mana regeneration speed during battle.
4. Has a natural affinity for all melee weapons.

After completing the job change, Ron gained a deeper understanding of the magic sword in his hand.

This is no longer just a weapon, but a combat partner that can be completely synchronized with his consciousness.

What's most unique is that the shape of the sword is not fixed.

Under his gaze, the longsword began to slowly transform, the blade bending inward, the hilt lengthening, and finally becoming a long staff.

"Master...there are more forms...unlocked..."

The voice of the demonic sword echoed in his consciousness, filled with a thirst for exploration:
"Currently... I can only switch between the sword and the staff, but I can sense... from my deepest memories..."

It paused for a moment:
"And... I want a name... but... that name seems to be sealed by something... it requires even greater power to unlock it..."

Ron nodded; this perfectly matched his theoretical predictions.

"It seems that further growth is needed. When it reaches 100% charge, all its abilities will be fully unleashed."

The moment he grasped the staff, he felt an unprecedented sense of harmony.

This is an extension of his will and a manifestation of his wisdom.

With this sword, he can sense all the energy flows around him and perform operations with unparalleled precision.

"Now I understand why the Dark Wizard class cannot be changed to a different class on its own."

Ron gripped the demonic sword in his hand, feeling the power flowing within it:
"The problems of pollution and personality distortion need to be solved through the integration of the three professions."

Only within a stable, multi-class structure can the power of a dark wizard be safely controlled.

He looked at his career panel, where all progress was steadily increasing.

I'm just one step away from reaching the Moon-level threshold of 6.0, and various support professions are also developing towards higher levels.

"We're not far from that three-and-a-half-star fusion class."

Ron was planning his future path in his mind, his eyes burning with a desire for greater power.

But just as he was basking in the joy of success, unexpected changes began to occur.

As the other end of the two-way connection, Nari also gained tremendous benefits from this transformation.

With the successful forging of the magic sword, she began to receive feedback energy from Ron through the deep spiritual link established between them.

But the quality and intensity of this feedback far exceeded any favor she had ever received before.

"This feeling……"

Nari's voice trembled deep within his consciousness, filled with disbelief and shock:
"This pure and powerful energy... is a hundred times more powerful than I imagined..."

Ron could sense that, through the two-way communication, his rationality and composure were subtly influencing Nari's mental structure.

Those originally chaotic and disordered thought processes began to rearrange themselves, becoming clearer and more organized.

Nari's body began to undergo subtle changes.

The previously uncontrollable chaotic fluctuations began to stabilize, and the emanating pressure became more restrained and precise.

The most noticeable change was in her eyes.

The countless eyeballs, which were originally randomly distributed, began to rearrange themselves according to a certain pattern, forming a more harmonious geometric pattern.

The light in each eye became more stable, no longer flickering chaotically, but pulsating rhythmically like breathing.

"my child……"

Nari's voice became clearer than ever before:
"You gave me an indescribable gift... the gift of reason..."

As the mental structure stabilizes, Nari's true nature as an inherently chaotic being begins to emerge.

"Now I finally understand..."

Her voice became deep and ancient, as if carrying memories from before the abyss was born:

"Why are the other apostles afraid of me... Why is even the Supreme Apostle unwilling to have close contact with me..."

Strange changes began to occur in space.

Under Nari's more conscious control, the originally stable chaotic storm began to exhibit true permutations and combinations.

Ron saw the distant forest of flesh and blood begin to regrow according to some entirely new logic.

Those originally deformed and twisted organs and trees have been transformed into beautiful and symmetrical crystal structures under the new rules.

Even the passage of time exhibits a certain rhythm, like the heartbeat of the universe.

"This is the true meaning of being born in chaos..."

Ron observed all of this in awe, gaining a completely new understanding of Nari's abilities:
"She didn't create chaos, she created a new order..."

Nari chuckled softly, a laugh as melodious as silver bells, yet containing a power powerful enough to shatter mountains.

“My child is very intelligent… Yes, chaos never means destruction… It means infinite possibilities…”

She began to show Ron her true abilities.

A tentacle gently stroked the nearby seawater, and the water instantly turned into flowing liquid gold.

Another tentacle pointed to the sky, and the deep purple firmament was instantly transformed into a gentle azure.

"Under my influence, the fundamental properties of any substance can be redefined..."

Nari's voice carried a kind of pride that transcended comprehension:
"That's why I'm called 'Born Chaos'... I'm the writer of the rules, not the enforcer of them..."

But just as he was demonstrating this terrifying power, Nari suddenly stopped.

All her eyes turned in one direction, and her expression became serious.

"Interesting...it seems our family gathering has attracted some unwelcome attention..."

A strong energy fluctuation emanated from afar.

That was not a single threat, but a sign that multiple powerful entities were approaching at the same time.

Nari's voice gradually turned cold, and the threat in it made the surrounding space tremble:
"How dare they disturb my reunion with my child at this time..."

Ron immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.

While intervention from other apostles is expected, the simultaneous appearance of two is indeed somewhat...

“Mom, do we need to leave?” he asked tentatively.

"leave?"

Nari let out a contemptuous laugh:

"My child, your mother has just gained such a great boost in power and needs some practice partners..."

She began to mobilize the primordial chaos within her body, preparing for the impending conflict:

"Let those arrogant fools see what true abyssal power is..."

Just then, Ron felt a warm touch from the storage bag at his waist.

That was an emergency contact rune that Yutel had left behind, sending him a warning.

The old professor's voice urgently rang in his mind:
"Ron! Get out of there immediately! I sense an extremely dangerous gathering of energy! Don't get involved in the war between the Apostles!"

But at this point, Nari clearly wouldn't let him leave easily.

After this deep spiritual connection, she now regards Ron as the most important person in her life.

"My child, he'll be alright..."

Nari responded gently to Ron's concern, countless tentacles weaving an absolutely protective vesicle around him:

"Mom will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you..."

Her voice turned dangerous, and the surrounding chaotic storm began to prepare for battle.
"And Mom... also needs to test her newly acquired power of clarity..."

Ron looked at the impending war between the Abyss Apostles with a mixture of anticipation and worry.
