Chapter 1528 1528. Preparations

Noah took a while to recover. He had pushed his battle prowess too much in the last battle, so his centers of power required years to disperse the drawbacks and the stress.

Still, once the process was over, Noah found that his cultivation level had improved. Part of the empowerment had become permanent. His achievement had turned a slight amount of his fake power into his actual foundation.

Needless to say, Noah had no idea why that happened. His ambition seemed to have its own will. He could only guess that his opponent’s might had triggered the same ability showed against Lady Lena.

’I wonder if I have to do something similar to reach the eighth rank,’ Noah thought in the silence of his cave.

Noah quickly suppressed those thoughts to focus on more important things. He had to spend some time training to avoid stagnating, and he also had to plan a mental battle.

The rank 8 dragon killed during the battle was powerful. It had a useful innate ability, and its defensive capabilities were among the best in the entire magical beasts’ field.

The rank 8 Foolery had to struggle to defeat one of the leaders. Night even had to help it in the battle to secure the win. That alone proved how powerful that species of dragons was.

Noah wanted to turn the dragon into a Blood Companion. He had finally found a suitable specimen, but the corpse belonged to a creature in the eighth rank. NiceNovel.com

The corpse was inside the separate space, so Noah could start the procedure at any time. Yet, he had to consider the dangers of having a mental battle against a rank 8 magical beast who could even defeat most creatures at that level.

Noah could have avoided those dangers. He could have seized a rank 7 dragon in the upper tier and performed the procedure without any struggle.

However, he would have obtained a weaker Blood Companion, and Noah couldn’t accept that when he had the chance to create something stronger.

’My ambition is definitely trying to kill me,’ Noah cursed in his mind after completing long training sessions.

It was time to start the procedure, but Noah had to complete multiple steps before feeling ready. The protections inside his mind were only the last part of that process.

Noah’s attention went inside the separate space. The maimed body of the dragon floated among the blackness, ready to go through a complete study.

Noah wouldn’t keep the dragon in its original form. He could make a list of the many flaws that afflicted that species, and he couldn’t let his Blood Companions have so many weaknesses.

’I must enhance its innate ability and its defense,’ Noah thought while inspecting the corpse. ’I would also like to improve its offense and speed, but I don’t know how much this body can handle.’

Noah didn’t want to create another Snore. He intended to modify the dragon’s body without affecting its innate ability.

The process had to be similar to what Noah had done with Night. Still, the Pterodactyl wasn’t an actual Blood Companion, but Noah had to use the Body-inscription spell since the dragon was dead.

’Improving before binding,’ Noah thought before unfolding the dark world and taking out the dragon’s corpse.

Noah would use one of the modified versions of the Body-inscription spell invented during his experiments with Thirty-seven. The technique usually used only blood, but he intended to use the creature’s whole body for the procedure.

That was necessary to make the Blood Companion carry the modifications applied to its corpse. Noah could avoid having a flawed asset once the procedure was over, which was better than forcing a rank 8 will to endure countless experiments.

’Let’s see what I can do with you.’ Noah thought while filling the corpse with dark matter.

The higher energy entered every organ and blood vessel to inspect the condition of the corpse. The various injuries suffered during the fight appeared in Noah’s mind in the shape of a blueprint that he had to fix.

The dark world soon began to replicate certain body parts. It first seeped in every cell and enhanced their structure, but it eventually started a systematic replacement of some tissues.

Most of Noah’s focus was on the dragon’s innate ability. The creature relied on its throat and mouth to create the pulling force, but its stomach also seemed to perform an important role.

His dark matter slowly improved those organs. Noah was dealing with rank 8 materials, so he had to use his ambition whenever his higher energy found itself unable to complete its tasks.

That use of his law brought another series of drawbacks, but Noah didn’t mind them now that he was safe. He could endure that periodic weakness as long as he completed his project.

The dragon had changed by the time Noah completed the modifications. The lower part of its mouth had shrunk, but the muscles that ran through it had improved. The dark matter had also added a second layer of scales after enhancing the first.

The proportions of its body had also changed. It had longer legs now, and its wings had also broadened. Noah had also added a second pair of smaller wings to improve its overall agility in the sky.

Noah wanted to add more to that corpse, but his knowledge of the magical beasts’ field warned him against that. The corpse couldn’t contain anything else. That was the limit of its tissues.

’The tricky part now,’ Noah thought before taking out one of the red crystals obtained in the Evolution Pit.

His ambition empowered the mineral enough to make it able to affect the dragon’s corpse. Noah then used his greed as the meaning for the Elemental Forging method.

The corpse went through a second transformation after the crystal fused with its fabric. The lower part of its mouth shrunk again, and the same went for its overall size. It gained a shape that resembled an average dragon, with the only difference that its lips spread over its neck.

’The corpse is ready,’ Noah thought before taking out the improved heart from the dragon and bathing the rest of the body in a dense wave of dark matter that carried intense destruction.

His ambition had to activate again to complete that procedure. Noah had to turn the whole body into ink for the Body-inscription spell. He needed his Blood Companion to carry the improvements painstakingly built through the years.

The corpse slowly melted to create a dense black liquid. It resembled mud, but Noah didn’t bother to check its actual texture. He only cared that the material carried his greed and had an innate connection with his mind.

’I have the materials,’ Noah thought before closing his eyes to focus on the insides of his mental sphere. ’I need to prepare the battlefield now.’

The ethereal figure of the mole crumbled to make room for the new Blood Companion. Waves of dark matter also seeped inside Noah’s mind to create protective layers that would reinforce his mental walls.

Mental weapons of various kinds slowly appeared among that dark matter. The scarlet mental energy also played a role in those preparations. It fused with certain structures and enhanced their destructiveness.

With the Demonic Deduction technique by his side, Noah could create countless mental weapons in a short time. The mental battlefield slowly reached the level of perfection that Noah required. It was almost ready to fight a rank 8 will.
