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

The Shadow Dragon's appearance was merely transformed into the form of alchemical pigments; the opponent's soul was still stored within it.

Furthermore, due to the previously constructed spatial pigments, Shadow Dragon was completely unaffected.

Ansu planned to use this pigment, which contained the soul of the Shadow Dragon, as material.

Then merge it with the insect dragon.

However, they did not intend to simply apply the Shadow Dragon paint directly to the horns of the Insect Dragon.

Currently, not much processing has been done on the pigments transformed from Shadow Dragon.

If we do it this way, it's highly unlikely that we can merge the two consciousnesses into one.

Instead, it would cause the consciousness of the Shadow Dragon and the Insect Dragon to coexist and become chaotic.

Even if their consciousness doesn't become disordered, they will most likely be unable to retain all the abilities of the Insect Dragon and Shadow Dragon.

Therefore, Ansu is prepared to use some other methods.

After confirming the target, Ansu cleared out a space in her residential area.

Then, with a thought, he immediately activated his soul space.

The next moment, a 'bang' sound rang out.

With this loud bang, a giant skull several meters long immediately appeared in front of Ansu.

It looks like a giant lizard's head, but it also has a pair of dragon horns.

It also exudes a deep chill.

"The skull of the white dragon is the most suitable material for this purpose."

Ansu murmured.

He didn't buy this from the black market's supernatural material recycling center.

It was obtained through the entrance examination for the wizarding academy.

Besides this one, there are nine other skulls that are almost identical.

Therefore, even if the white dragon's skull is considered a consumable, it will not affect the subsequent plans for mixing pigments.

After confirming that all the materials were in good condition, Ansu removed the Shadow Element Bone Dragon whose tail had been replaced by a paintbrush.

Then, with a thought, the Shadow Element Bone Dragon immediately dipped its paintbrush tail into the paint.

Then it flapped its wings and floated near the white dragon's skull.

At the same time, alchemical pigments are applied to it.

Before long, as it kept flicking its pen-like tail, the white dragon's skull was completely covered by the jet-black pigment containing the Shadow Dragon's soul.

Immediately afterwards, Ansu transferred the white dragon skull into the soul space.

The insect dragon obtained during the academy's assessment is currently located in the graveyard area of ​​the soul space.

So Ansu also used the entry 【Ten Thousand Bones Enveloping the Body (Green)】.

Both the Insect Dragon and the White Dragon skull were selected.

The next moment, characters appeared on the panel.

[Selected Fusion Subject: Kin - Insect Dragon]

[Selected fusion materials: White Dragon skull/Shadow Dragon]

Integration progress: 0%

The initial fusion progress is still 0%.

The situation is the same as when the term was used before.

However, Ansu did not invoke the ether particles stored in the alchemical pigments.

Instead, he started practicing the "Ether Meditation Method," while slightly adjusting the method of operation.

The next moment, the ether particles in the surrounding environment stopped drifting aimlessly.

Instead, they all drifted towards the [Profession Panel] from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, the numbers in the integration progress column also kept jumping.

[20%]

[30%]

50%...

As it continues to absorb ether particles, the numbers on the progress bar keep rising.

In no time, it reached 100%.

[Integration Complete]

As soon as the panel notification sound finished, the white dragon skull painted with Shadow Dragon paint immediately disappeared.

A patch of black also appeared at the tip of the insect dragon's horn.

A short while later.

This patch of darkness began to spread visibly across the insect dragon's body.

The souls of the Insect Dragon and the Shadow Dragon are also intertwined.

Until the entire body of the insect dragon was completely covered by a shadow-like blackness.

Their souls then merged into one.

【'Family - Shadow Dragon' 'Family - Insect Dragon' → 'Family - Shadow Element Insect Dragon'】

[The bonus effect of the "Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent" is now in effect]

[The power of the Amer's bloodline spells and totem spells is increased by 1.5]

[Fusion Dragon Might Strength *1.5, Constitution *1.3]

Having completed the fusion, Ansu accessed the Familiar section of the [Job Panel].

Information about the Shadow Elemental Insect Dragon also surfaced.

[Fellowship - Shadow Elemental Insect Dragon]

Loyalty: 100% (Constant)

[Physical Constitution: 20, Mental Strength: 15, Mysticism: 59.5]

Prior to this, Ansu had also enhanced his mysterious attributes by mixing alchemical pigments.

At the same time, through the [Gravekeeper's Oath] brought by the [Class - Gravekeeper Knight], some free attribute points were also obtained.

And just like before, it was used to enhance the mysterious attribute.

This allows them to gain an additional boost to their mysterious attributes.

"The Shadow Element Insect Dragon's mysterious attributes are the same as the previous Shadow Dragon."

They're all exactly like me.

The Shadow Element Insect Dragon has six legs and its body is even larger than its insect dragon form.

Ansu then conducted a series of tests on it using various methods.

This confirms that the Shadow Elemental Insect Dragon can change its form by adjusting its Shadow Elemental body, just like the Shadow Dragon.

You can also use all of the Insect Dragon's previous abilities.

For example, creating spatial vortexes to summon temporary half-rat, half-dragon summons.

Or perhaps they could analyze the information contained within flesh and blood to target and seize the soul...

Furthermore, during the academy's assessment, Ansu applied a large amount of material to modifying the insect dragon.

Therefore, after the fusion was completed, the Shadow Elemental Insect Dragon's abilities surpassed those of its other familiars.

"If the Shadow Elemental Insect Dragon is then transferred into a spatial drawing paper, it can be used to create a [painting-type spell scroll]."

The accompanying undead retinues will undoubtedly be even stronger.

The strength of the corresponding attributes attached to the dependents will also receive an additional boost.

An Su thought to herself.

Then they began to try to create a new type of pigment formula that could be applied to [painting-type spell scrolls], using the Shadow Element Insect Dragon as the core.

At the same time, it is also analyzing some information about the [Alchemy Pigment Formula - Type 1 Colorless].

And apply it to this plan.

With the additional talents granted by the entry, and the effects of the monocle-shaped alchemical equipment given by Sandru.

Ansu's efficiency in constructing pigment formulations and in analyzing pigment formulations has been greatly improved.

The time until the new [painting-type spell scroll] is completed is also constantly shortening.

During this period.

Because Ansu was also constantly distracted by practicing the "Ether Meditation Method".

Therefore, in just a few days, the proficiency level of this knowledge reached Lv.3.

Another requirement for the job of [Profession - Wizard Apprentice] has been met.

Looking at the "Completed" message that had just appeared in the career section, An Su thought to herself.

"Only waiting for the proficiency level of [Knowledge-Spell Model Construction] to reach Lv.1."

I'll then be able to become a wizard apprentice and obtain the next entry.

Then, before the [Spell Model Construction] course began,

Continuing as before, he used various means to enhance his own and his family's strength.

On one hand, I tried to construct a new [painting-style spell scroll] with the Shadow Element Insect Dragon as the core.

But before the construction was fully completed, Sandru's assistant, Bales, came to him.

"Congratulations on becoming a wizard apprentice, Anzu."

Bells waved his gloved hand.

The numerous tentacles hidden beneath it rippled and surged like waves in a gentle breeze as they shook.

Ansu remembered the other person.

The first time I visited Sandru's alchemy workshop, they provided me with ether-detecting alchemy pigments.

Then, with the help of the pigments, they gained the ability to detect ether particles.

He also took up the [Secondary Profession - Mystic Transcendent].

Just as Ansu was wondering why Bells had come to see him, the other man revealed his purpose:

"Perhaps you know that the elves of the wizarding academy almost universally despise the existence of non-immortal species."

Meanwhile, there is also an elven wizard named El who is an enemy of Mr. Sandru.

However, Sandru had also warned El that the other party wouldn't take action personally.

It's more like a threat than a warning.

Bells thought to himself, then continued speaking to Ansu:

"But you should also be careful of the members of the [Long-lived Species Research Society]."

After all, this concerns a spot in the [Original Sea of ​​Truth] and one's own private laboratory.
