The Wizard: Starting as a Corpse Burial Man - An Infinite Side Hustle

Listening to Ryan's words, Ansu glanced at the panel again.

[Class - Elemental Priest]

Job requirements:

Knowledge - Elemental Totem Spirit Cultivation Lv.1 (Completed)

Mysterious attribute reached 3 points (achieved)

Contract Elemental Totem Spirit *1

"All that's left is to transform the Shadow Dragon from an Elemental Spirit into an Elemental Totem Spirit through the affix effects, and then it can successfully become an Elemental Priest, gaining attribute bonuses and affix bonuses."

Thinking of this, An Su immediately stopped what she was doing.

Then he and Ryan left the accommodation area together.

After navigating through the abandoned experimental area, they finally arrived at the place where Ryan's brother lived.

Upon opening the door, Ansu was greeted by a rat-man.

However, it is different from the dragon-blooded rat-men with dragon scales on their bodies.

The head above the opponent's neck was not a rat's head, but a hybrid of a rat's head and a giant dragon's head.

"This body is not bad, so I didn't change it."

Incidentally, with the assistance of the elemental priest Lin, the concentration of the lower dragon's bloodline was also increased.

Upon noticing that Ansu was looking at her, the elemental priest paused the ritual preparations.

"If you also want to obtain the bloodline of the dragon, I can slightly modify the ritual content."

"When you obtain the Elemental Totem Spirit, you will also gain a trace of dragon blood."

"No need."

Ansu shook her head.

He was not prepared to casually add extraordinary bloodlines to himself.

Even if you are ready to add extraordinary bloodline, you must still formulate an extraordinary bloodline that is most suitable for you and has no side effects.

Instead, they will not integrate the bloodline of dragons, which, while enhancing strength, brings a series of side effects such as emotional distortion.

Seeing that Ansu was not interested, the elemental priest said nothing more.

After all, he knew that Ansu was not like him, a half-ghost who could not change bodies at will.

A short while later.

Through a series of processes and with the help of various materials.

A sophisticated ritual array was thus formed.

Ansu then summoned the shadow once again.

A moment later, the shadow materialized as it twisted.

Then it transformed into a shadow dragon with six dragon horns.

Immediately afterward, once the Shadow Dragon entered the center of the ritual array, the Elemental Priest began chanting obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations.

Then, under the influence of this incantation, the surrounding ether particles no longer simply drifted around as before.

Instead, they all drifted off in the designated direction.

Then it was incorporated into the runes located within the magic array.

Once all the runes had absorbed enough ether particles, the entire magic circle began to glow faintly.

Then, strands of energy, each a different color and containing varying degrees of power, surged forth from all parts of the magic array, connecting to the shadow dragon at its center.

At the same time, the energy contained within the energy threads began to flow continuously into Shadow Dragon's body.

Therefore, it is being modified.

After absorbing enough energy.

The golden patterns covering Shadow Dragon's body, which formed numerous vertical pupil-like designs, immediately began to slowly twist.

They then converged on the dragon's horns, transforming into various different runes.

Even when approaching the dragon horns covered in runes, one can hear sounds that resemble the roar of a giant dragon.

At the same time, I felt the dragon's might contained within it.

As the ritual array continued to take effect, the numerous runes on the Shadow Dragon's horns became increasingly clear.

The number of runes has also increased.

Not long after, the ritual array dimmed, the number of runes on the dragon horns reached three digits, and the color changed from gold to dark gold.

In a moment, Ansu immediately felt the etheric connection between himself and Shadow Dragon deepen once again.

At the same time, he also felt that the other person was no longer just a shadow of himself transformed into a familiar.

Instead, it is a totem spirit of its own element.

Furthermore, once the opponent increases their strength, one's own strength will inevitably increase as well.

At the same time, the panel notification sound, which had been silent for a while, rang out again:

[Elemental Totem Spirit Contracted]

The requirements for the "Elemental Priest" job have been met.

[Will you start work immediately?]

"Confirmed employment."

Ansu agreed without hesitation.

More information then appeared on the panel.

[Acquire - Elemental Priest Class]

[Mental Strength +2, Mysticism +1]

[Creating the entry... Creation complete]

[Obtain the entry - Lord of Elements (Purple)]

Effect 1: There is no limit to the number of elemental totem spirits that can be contracted.

For each elemental totem spirit that is the same type as the first one, each elemental totem spirit will receive a +10% buff to all attributes.

(If multiple elemental totems originate from the same entity, they will also bring multiple bonus effects.)

Furthermore, after reuniting, the bonus effect will not disappear, but will instead be stacked on the other party.

If two elemental totem spirits merge into one, the resulting entity will receive a 20% bonus to all attributes.

Effect 2: The loyalty of the Elemental Totem Spirits is always 100%.

For every 1 point of attribute gained by the elemental totem, the corresponding attribute of the elemental totem increases by 0.1.

For every 1 point of attribute a Totem Spirit gains, its corresponding attribute increases by 0.1.

[Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent] is now activated.

[The bonus effect is building up...]

Ansu glanced at the effect of the [Entry - Lord of Elements (Purple)] briefly.

In just a moment, I realized how great the potential of this entry was.

"There is no limit to the number of elemental spirits I can contract with, and I can also mutually enhance all my attributes with the elemental spirits."

Now it really is like stepping on your own foot to reach the sky.

Furthermore... it's time to put the next modification to Shadow Dragon on the agenda.

Ansu is preparing to grant Shadow Dragon, an elemental totem spirit, the ability to absorb spatial power as soon as possible.

In order to obtain more elemental totem spirits that are also Shadow Dragons.

This also grants Shadow Dragon more buffs.

"When the Shadow Dragon improves its attributes by absorbing spatial power, I will also receive attribute boosts as soon as possible."

With this in mind, Ansu analyzed the various materials he had gathered, and used this information to consider which aspect of the Shadow Dragon Stone should be modified first.

...

"This is..."

A rat-man elemental priest with a giant dragon's head was also carefully observing the runes on the Shadow Dragon's horns.

After comparing himself to the other elemental spirits under his command for a moment, the elemental priest opened his mouth:

"The runes on the dragon's horns are not just decorations, but are related to totem magic."

Based on my previous tests, after the elemental spirit is transformed into a totem elemental spirit...

There is approximately a one-in-three chance of encountering this type of runic pattern.

The elemental priest pointed to the shadow dragon's horns, and then continued:

"As you continuously offer sacrifices to the elemental totem spirits, the runes will undergo slight changes."

Once the change transforms from quantitative to qualitative, the contractor will receive a totem spell related to elemental spirits.

It doesn't have much effect, but you can visually feel the totem spell taking shape... Hmm?

The elemental priest was startled halfway through her sentence.

He noticed that the runes on the dragon's horns were no longer as dim as before.

Instead, faint lights appeared.

Even as time goes by, the light continues to increase slowly.

After confirming that this was not her imagination, the elemental priest immediately widened her eyes:

"How come the totem spell is already complete before the sacrifice has even begun?"
