Type-Moon: My Destiny Guide

"I'm truly defeated by you. You actually brought out such a treasure in front of two sick and weak people like us."

"Oh, well, I owe you a favor. So, tell me, what are you planning to do?"

A genuine smile flashed across Shuoyue's face, but as his shadow swayed behind him, he reverted to his carefree demeanor.

"To cast this kind of complex magic, comparable to a forbidden spell, I need a suitable 'weapon,' yes, for example, one bathed in dragon blood..."

The heart of the red dragon shines brightly, for the twilight of the world is about to end.

Night fell.

Standing in the center of the courtyard amidst countless magic circles, the white-haired, golden-eyed youth sat atop a tree where various materials had been urgently delivered, and even an ancient tree, watching his two friends depart.

"Thank you so much. Speaking of which, potions made from dragon blood can also strengthen the body, right...? Well, let's not talk about that now, it could be dangerous if we drag this out any longer."

As he said this, he brought the throbbing red dragon's heart to his lips.

"I'm starting~"

puff.

Thick blood gushed out, carrying a strong dragon essence, and began to transform the boy's body.

At the same time, countless combat-specialized magicians began to approach the house where the lord lived in groups.

Even during the daytime, the news that 'the new El-Melloi family patriarch possesses the Golden Apple' spread like wildfire.

Although magicians claim to be detached from humanity, the 'malice' inherent in primates is not something that can be overcome simply by doing so.

For example, greed.

The ultimate treasure of the Age of Gods, coveted by the three goddesses in countless myths, and at the same time, the fruit of 'perfection'—this is undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for modern magicians whose great source has faded.

While hydra larvae specimens are precious, those unaware of their uses will be killed by their poison. However, the golden apple is different; even if consumed directly, it can bring immense benefits—it is the most precious resource in the realm of magic!

Therefore, under the cover of night, countless magicians with ulterior motives gathered and headed towards the lord's house.

Even the most powerful lords are powerless against greed.

Not to mention the already crumbling El-Melloi family.

"Let me see, a level two lecturer in the Spirit Conjuring Department, a combat-specialized puppet of Baleyeta, a renowned mercenary, actually a black glove under the Law and Politics Department... Heh heh, even my kinsman, Transberio, has sent someone here, this is incredible..."

By this time, Webber and Melvin had already left the residence of Shuoyue and were now watching everything from a short distance away. Melvin kept changing the direction of his telescopic magic, searching for the assassins with ill intentions, making clicking noises under his breath.

"With so many magicians, it seems Shuoyue is going to be quite busy. Hey, Webber, why don't you seem worried at all?"

"That's because you don't know just how powerful he is." El-Melloi II leaned against the wall for a short rest, his eyes still closed, and said calmly, "These are just second-rate among second-rate forces, merely simple tests. Only when Shuoyue shows signs of fatigue will the real main force swarm in like hyenas."

“But that’s precisely why he can slaughter them with impunity.” The sickly tuner smiled. “If the lords’ main forces are wiped out, El-Melloi will not only fail to establish his authority, but will also find himself isolated and helpless.”

"Tch, that's why I hate these boring political games," Weber scoffed impatiently.

"These fools probably haven't realized that time isn't on their side—"

“Once the new moon ends the ritual, they will be met with merciless death.”

As they were speaking, someone broke through the arbitrarily set barrier, pushed open the gate of Shuoyue, and rushed into the central courtyard.

Silver moonlight streamed down as the boy sat atop a pile of materials exuding a high level of mystery, his body covered in a thick layer of scabs.

Opening his eyes, what was revealed to everyone was a pair of golden vertical pupils that resembled a giant dragon.

Chapter 209 The Requiem Played by Death

It's hot, so hot.

The moment the dragon's heart was bitten off, an intense, suffocatingly fishy smell filled the entire nasal cavity. The still-beating heart pumped hot blood, which flooded the throat, rushed to the stomach, and then spread to every part of the body.

It was as if I had swallowed a ball of fire; wherever I went, I lost all feeling of pain. It was as if there was nothing below my body. After my whole body was swallowed up, even my brain went blank and completely lost its response.

The clothes covering Shuoyue spontaneously combusted, and his skin cracked as if it had been baked dry. Bright red blood seeped from the cracks, emitting scorching steam that covered the boy's naked body.

"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock."

Just a few drops of red liquid falling on the material on which Shuoyue was sitting triggered an incredibly violent and mysterious reaction. The material's inherent properties were ruthlessly destroyed, and within this process, new laws were established within. The mysterious changes even fed back to the outer layer, causing all the materials to exhibit the same color and the same fluctuation.

Such changes also occurred within Shuoyue's body. The frail human physique thrived under the nourishment of dragon blood, and the dragon factor spread throughout Shuoyue's body like cancer cells, attempting to transform him into a non-human being.

However, as the ritual array operated, the factor symbolizing the attribute of 'dragon' was gathered into the beating heart, while the excess was emitted through the skin, turning into a faint blood mist around the new moon, which was absorbed by the materials placed beneath it.

—Never have a weakness.

This is the principle that Shuoyue finally determined after careful consideration.

In the world of magic, the incomparably precious Dragon Heart actually has two uses.

One method is to directly devour it, transforming it into a dragon itself. It possesses the physique of a high-ranking fantasy species and inherits the attributes of a dragon, such as Sigurd's dragon species modification.

Secondly, instead of consuming dragon hearts, they bathe in the blood of dragon hearts to obtain a near-immortal body with greatly enhanced defense, such as Siegfried's Dragon Blood Armor.

In fact, both of them will be modified by the Dragon Heart, thus acquiring the attributes of a dragon.

Looking at the many Servants on the Throne of Heroes, the so-called Dragon attribute, like divinity, is a double-edged sword, offering significant advantages while also being a fatal weakness.

There's no other reason than that there are simply too many heroes with legendary tales of slaying dragons. Encountering an opponent with dragon attributes would be an overwhelming disadvantage, and even if one's own strength far surpasses that of the dragon, there is still a risk of being overwhelmed.

But the enhancement from the Dragon Heart was too tempting to resist—therefore, after several days of investigation, Shuoyue finally found a solution.

The heroes of that time weren't alchemists, and the Dragon Heart wasn't some frozen artifact, so the heroes could only strike while the iron was hot, learning from Bear Grylls' advanced spirit and eating it raw, or taking a hot spring bath while it was still hot.

However, Shuoyue was different. Firstly, he already knew he would obtain the Dragon Heart, and secondly, the Dragon Heart was stored in the Destiny Compendium, so he didn't have to worry about the 'expiration date'. Therefore, he had ample time to prepare and maximize his benefits.

What ultimately resulted was this special state.

[Heroic Spirit Panel has been updated]

[Gained new skill: Dragon Modification - Modified!]

[Dragon Species Modification - Modified: The ultimate self-modification achieved by consuming a dragon's heart. This creates a magical core similar to that of a dragon, enhancing all abilities and granting extremely high endurance. However, due to the dragon factor being forced into and suppressed within the heart, the enhancement value is reduced, and the dragon attribute is lost, but the essence and appearance remain altered.]

However, was the hero's act of swallowing the 'Crimson Dragon's Heart' driven by envy of the dragon's form, or a desire to better possess that beautiful dragon?

"So you're also the one who makes sarcastic remarks? As expected of you, Destiny Compendium..." Shuoyue forcibly suppressed the urge to join in the sarcastic remarks. The numbness and burning sensation had dissipated, and he slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long breath like a dragon just awakened.

[Heroic Spirit Panel has been updated]

[Beautiful Young Man]

The parameters have been changed as follows:

[Ability Parameters] (Growth Stage)

Muscle strength: E→D

Durability: D→B

Agility: D→C

Magic: B→A

Luck: B→C

?

Looking at the slightly changed panel values, the boy with golden vertical pupils, who looked both cute and fierce, looked completely bewildered.

"I can understand the other ability parameters... but why did my luck value drop?! Xiao Ge went to great lengths to increase his luck value back then! I'm not going to follow in his footsteps, am I?!"

"Also, what's with the 'Beautiful Young Man' skill...? Why are there so many plus signs? Why don't you just make it an A-level skill?"

After venting her frustrations, Shuoyue shook off the scabs on her body and activated her third technique the instant her skin was exposed, donning an elegant platinum-gold gown for herself.

Immediately afterwards, the platinum-gold dragon, perched atop the treasure mountain, looked down. The moment it saw the magicians bursting through the door, its pupils narrowed, radiating the aura of a superior predator.

The incantation drew upon magic, and the cold-glowing weapons gathered at an even faster speed, piercing through the body of the lead magician before being planted in the ground, forming an impenetrable wall of sword mounds.

Ignoring the screaming magicians, Shuoyue stroked the countless materials stained with dragon blood, two swords appeared in her hands, and she began to carve the parts she needed.

The soundboard is made from spruce trees sourced from the cold highlands and infused with the spirit roots that house the spirits of the earth.

A wisp of flame taken from the Noble Phantasm 'Dawn Horizon that Burns the Seas' melted the sacred steel that shimmered like the aurora borealis, and the original armor worn by the Valkyries in legend was skillfully forged; combined with ancient wood nourished by dragon's blood, it formed a series of parts including a cast iron frame, soundboard, strings, and tuning pegs.

Dragon teeth stained with precious dragon blood were carved into intricate piano keys, and fragments of brilliant stars, like those hanging in the night sky, were incorporated into the pedal system, giving the instrument's tone a true soul.

—After exhausting almost all available resources, what Shuoyue obtained was a dragon blood artifact whose mystery rivaled that of a divine treasure.

Made from materials that have been bathed in dragon's blood, they possess a harmonious rhythm without losing their unique characteristics. Thus, the triangular shape is bathed in the light of the Milky Way, and the black and white keys have the warmth of dragon's teeth and high magical adaptability. The parts resonate slightly with each other, producing the sound of a dragon's roar.

Completed by Shuoyue alone, the piano is hailed as the 'King of Instruments,' a grand piano that combines beauty and solemnity.

The iron wall, with its blades spread out, was already teetering on the verge of collapse, while the young man stood with his back to the doorway, his hands resting on the piano keys.

The next moment, imaginary particles flowed, weaving together hundreds of intertwined strings, weaving everything that generated fluctuations into the threads of fate.

A pure, dreamlike melody rang out.

Listen, that is Death playing a requiem.

Chapter 210 Compound Magic Tuning

Chapter 210 Compound Magic: Tuning

"Keep pushing, we'll break down this wall soon!"

Shouts rang out, and a variety of magical abilities were unleashed, transforming into flames, storms, and frost that attacked forward.

When the magicians from the rear arrived late, they were first startled by the corpses hanging on their weapons, their eyes wide open in death. Then they joined the battle, using their signature magic to destroy the Wailing Wall, which gleamed with iron light.

"Damn it, how can these things be so hard!" The magician with a specialized physique clutched his fist, revealing bare white bones, his face contorted in pain.

Even though more than a dozen magicians have participated in the destruction project, the wall that the boy casually created with a wave of his hand is unusually hard. If he hadn't reacted quickly after throwing a punch and immediately retreated more than ten meters, he would have been injured more than just an injury.

"So you're just a nobody. Who do you think you're dealing with?" The lecturer, quite famous in the Conjuring Department, manipulated a swarm of undead bees to devour the mystery in the materials and said coldly, "That's a 'self-compulsion certificate' written in the blood of Lord El-Melloi. Do you think that boy rose to power peacefully?"

Seeing the iron wall finally showing signs of collapse, the lecturer of the Spirit Summoning Department was not smug at all. Instead, he looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy, and stroked a ring that the acting family head had given him.

"We are about to face the new monarch of the mineral world, Coelmero!"

Apart from Waver, who didn't achieve his status through strength, the other eleven lords of the Clock Tower all possess formidable magical abilities. Among them are many who are actually the highest-ranking magicians of the Color Rank. Even Aozaki Touko said of Balereta, the monarch of the Creation Department, "Please spare me, only my teacher's paintings," which shows how terrifying her magic is.

Moreover, in the world of magicians, children who look like old people and old people who look like children are absolutely not to be messed with!
