Chapter 196: Dragon’s nest, Experiment, Chance, Enhancement (4)

I had already expected that, to some extent, there would be results.

This was because Dialugia was a legendary-grade monster classified as a dragon race, and her body was still a mystery.

However, I didn’t think I would be presented with such a big gift.

[Dragon Alchemist (Unique Legendary)]

‘A unique legendary!’

I had gotten a unique legendary grade. I was happy when I got my heroic-grade class, but the effect was different from before when my body shone in purple.

“Wow…”

I saw my body shine in bursting. The golden light was an effect that I had only heard about, which signaled the change to a legendary-grade class. It felt like I had turned into a powerful person.

I didn’t think that the golden light that emanated from my body would cease to shine, and I didn’t think my smile would ever disappear, too.

‘Legendary grade!’

Eventually, the light started to fade, which gave my tired eyes some time to relax. However, the lingering feeling did not fade easily.

“Pffft… Hahahaha.”

It was foolish, but laughter kept bubbling out of me. It would be strange not to be happy. I knew that having anything on this continent that was legendary meant a lot.

Juliana was fully effective even when it was not active. I had my legendary-grade attribute Mind’s Eye. And now, even a legendary-grade class!

I wanted to ask the general review guy who had been mocking me about who was blind now.

Considering that the continent’s common sense was that usually, at the fifth or sixth time a legendary-grade class would be given, my growth rate seemed so fast that it was shameful to say that I was not talented.

‘Of course, my stats are poor…’

This was not a normal legendary class. This was a unique legendary grade. This achievement was worth it just because I was the only person on the continent who could achieve this class now.

[Dragon Alchemist (Unique Legendary)]

[It’s a new kind of class that has never been discovered. Despite the continent’s long history, alchemy using a living dragon as a catalyst was never tried nor practiced. We highly appreciate your achievement and decided on making Dragon Alchemist a Unique Legendary-Grade. Every alchemist will be surprised by your great achievements. Dragon Alchemist is the only alchemist who can use alchemy with dragons as a catalyst. What you can make depends on your research and alchemy skills. Intelligence increases by +6. Magical power increases by +7. Your understanding of dragons will improve. The class effect of the previous class Living Alchemy Summoner remains the same. Some of the results created by the class effect of the unique legendary-grade Dragon Alchemist are judged as summoned creatures.]

‘Whoaa!!!’

[General Review: I am sorry to see you working so hard to raise the magic power that does not seem to grow alongside your intelligence. I couldn’t even imagine that you would have a magic power of 45, but I want to applaud you. The other stats are still terrible, but I would like to compliment you for getting an intelligence stat that will soon break through 90 and for your unique legendary class. I look forward to your endeavors from now on, but… Don’t be too proud. Except for intelligence, magic power, and luck, all stats did not increase by even 1.]

‘I’m an alchemist anyway, you bastard. What does it matter?’

In fact, it didn’t mean it didn’t matter at all. Strength, agility, and endurance were fine, but stamina was a very important factor.

However, I was in no state to regret now.

Who would have imagined that I would have 45 stats of magic power?

‘This… is 45 stats of magic power!’

It was still desperately shameful compared to other wizards, but laughter came out due to the enormous magical power inside me.

Of course, this was tremendous magic power by my standards. I slightly pushed the magic power into my hand, held the catalyst that looked pretty hard in my arms, and exerted some strength…

‘Damn.’

It didn’t break.

Unavoidably, when I put down the catalyst and picked up another catalyst, the thing broke with a clopping sound.

‘Ha!’

I felt like the Hulk. Things that couldn’t be done with the magic power of the 30s become possible in the 40s. I could use temporary body enhancement through the use of magic power. My intelligence stat, which wasn’t increasing well recently, also achieved explosive growth.

I had already heard through Hwang Jeong-yeon that one more attribute would open when the intelligence stat reaches 90.

Raising my intelligence stat by 3 while researching would probably be nothing.

Of course, there may be some limitations when moving from 89 to 90, but there was no problem with my growth right now.

Anyway, I had only achieved the 4th class change, and I still had the 5th to expect.

It was difficult to understand the speed of human growth here since I had only been living here for about a year. At best, the guys who came with me were, at most, in their third or second class. My choice to hold onto Kim Hyunsung’s party fit perfectly.

I benefitted a lot, and thanks to that, I had shared very pleasant situations with them.

At this point, Dialugia, who had been looking at me with a very pathetic expression, spoke.

-Did you get anything?

“Thanks, I got something very good. I love you, honey. Oops! Oops!”

Dialugia’s status was promoted from a crazy woman to a lovely boss.

I couldn’t express this joy in words, so I ran to her big face and kissed her without hesitation.

-That’s disgusting. Could you please stop doing this?

“No, we can kiss each other, at least!”

-Anyway, I told you not to do this. This expression of affection is uncomfortable and unpleasant. If you have the time to do this, finish the experiment as soon as possible, and pay more attention to our Dialuria. As expected, humans…

“Our sweetie! How come I haven’t known this charm so far? Glossy, shiny, and elongated horns! There is no place that isn’t pretty.”

-I don’t know why, but despite being praised, it feels very unpleasant.

“Hhhh!”

-I told you not to stick to me. Stop it, or else I will move.

“Oh, you are so lovely… If you move, I will get crushed and die.”

-T-This human…

Honestly, I was very excited. I had been very happy upon achieving the unique heroic-grade Living Alchemist Summoner, but this was a whole new feeling. Anyway, nobody could see me here, so I thought it wouldn’t be bad to express my feelings alone.

At first, Dialugia seemed disgusted by my actions, but after a while, she sighed quietly as if she had given up. She then spoke once more.

-So… What did you get?

“Ahem…”

-Please tell me quickly. Is there anything you’re trying to hide?

“No. I just had to calm down a little from my initial excitement. I knew your body was worth more than I thought.”

-It was because of your greed in the end.

“Not really. Well, that’s not wrong, but…”

-…

“…”

-Please just tell me quickly.

“Of course. Humans living on this continent are given classes differently from you. I don’t know if you can be given a class when you’re in human form, but humans do. Ah! This story is too complicated, so I think it’s better to skip it. That’s not what matters now. I must have already told you last time that my class is an alchemist.”

-I remember that, yes.

“Alchemists are the professions bestowed on those who seek the truth. Although it is a profession derived from wizards, it is undeniable that their pursuits are different from them.”

-It doesn’t suit you very much.

“I won’t deny that. Anyway, to be a little grandiose, things like genes and blood from your body are materials that have never been found on the continent. Of course, it is impossible to use it as a catalyst immediately, so it has to undergo a purification process. Still, it is undeniable that this is the first to be discovered. In other words, these three substances are objects that were not originally in this world.”

-Isn’t that my blood? It is not a material that did not exist in this world, but it has existed since the past.

“Since it has gone through the purification process and successfully catalyzed it, it cannot be said that it is your blood exactly. Strictly speaking, it is a synthetic catalyst made up of several catalysts that help smoothen activity. The fact that the main ingredient came from you doesn’t change. An experiment that was done simply to see a chemical reaction made a huge hit. Of course, I did some calculations in advance… Honestly, I didn’t expect this result, either.”

Of the hundreds of flasks, only three survived.

At first glance, it didn’t seem to have been a very good result, but it was undeniable that I had hit the jackpot right from the first experiment.

The legendary catalysts that were shining brightly made me feel thrilled just by looking at them.

At a glance, interest passed through Dialugia’s expression as she quietly looked at them with her big eyes.

-What is its name?

“It is undecided. Didn’t I tell you? This is the first discovered catalyst. There are three, so I think you, me, and our Tol To-ri can each decide the name of one.”

-Ah…

She seemed to be in a good mood. The big eyes blinked widely once.

“Since they were prepared without accurate calculations, there is still time to define and prove what effect they have and why these results came out, but the process of organizing it is not that difficult.”

-So, that was helpful.

“Of course. And it’s not just this that I got. I mentioned earlier that humans are given classes through certain actions.”

-Yes.

“Before the discovery of these three catalysts and even a closer look at your body, I was given a class. It would be right to say that it is a top-ranked class and a class specializing in the study of the dragon races. That means I can understand you better.”

-Are you saying you have been given a special power?

“Yes. You can think of it in that way. Of course, this is still in the early stage, so a little more research is needed…”

-Ah…

“If the research is done successfully, I will be able to do many things, like putting your breath into this little flask.”

-Breath?

“It’s hard to expect the same firepower compared to when it would come directly from you, but it probably will.”

-That is impossible. You cannot fit it into that tiny flask. That is common sense.

“Whether it’s impossible or not, I’ll need to go into research to find out. I am judging that there is a possibility.”

-Honestly speaking, it was probably impossible.

“It will be possible. This kind of thing is achievable now. The third class I got was called a Living Alchemist Summoner. Considering the effect of that class and the effect of the class called Dragon Alchemist now…”

The moment I grabbed the catalyst made from Dialugia’s cells, the catalyst turned into magical power, and I felt it hovering around me.

Contrary to the original, which needed a switch and remote control, the dragon’s catalyst had completely eliminated such a complicated process.

Simply put, everything was possible with just one catalyst. It could be said that it was a unique legendary-grade class correction effect.

Zap! Zap! Strange energy splattered in my hand with the sound. It was natural for Dialugia to look at me blankly.

She naturally looked pretty curious about what I was going to do. I was also curious about what the outcome will be.

As soon as I used the energy in my hand to seal and touch the ground, a little further away, a large dragon’s hand began to materialize from the earth.

Magical power drained in an instant and broke! Zap! The dragon’s arm protruded with the sound.

-Uh…

“This is great… This…”

-Nonsense… Y-you…

Dialugia had on an incomprehensible expression. She wasn’t the only one.

I, too, felt perplexed by the results I had made.

-Are you a god? What you did now… That excluded all types of common sense!

“Oh, of course, that is not a living thing. So far, it is hard to expect even destructive power. And I can’t make a real dragon. I don’t think this is an area where we can question whether it is possible or impossible by experimentation. Creating a human-shaped homunculus is also very time consuming and expensive. If that’s possible, as you say, I’ll be in the realm of God, not human. I can’t create a complex and noble creature like you. Of course, the subspecies…”

-You mean creating a subspecies is possible?

“No, no, it is impossible.”

-I see.

“Yet.”

The sound of Dialugia swallowing echoed through the nest.

It would be impossible to make a clone of Dialugia. However, it may be possible to produce clones for other drake species.

Ideas that seemed possible, such as the breath potion, continued to pop up in my mind.

Of course, there was much to think about this study’s final purpose, which was Park Deokgu’s enhancement method.

‘Perhaps there is a real possibility.’

I may be able to turn myself into Captain Lindel, whose name would always be mentioned within Blue’s history.
