The Natural Empire of the Oceanic Dragon

Attilan's excitement didn't last long. When the sea dragon and the Bone Lord, fused from the magic array, clashed, Attilan's smile immediately vanished.

He rushed forward eagerly, only to be swatted away by the Bone Lord's sword.

Although the fused sea dragon didn't have much intelligence, its scales were hard enough and its hide thick enough.

The bone sword in the Bone Lord's hand was just a magical weapon briefly strengthened and synthesized with necromantic magic.

Against ordinary people, it was naturally invincible.

But against the sea dragon, the bone sword couldn't break its defenses.

However, the immense force with which the Bone Lord wielded the bone sword still made the sea dragon shake its head several times after landing. When it opened its eyes, they began to glow red again.

The dragon head beside Attilan looked disdainfully at the sea dragon, which had charged up and been swatted away once more.

"Attilan, are my dragonkin warriors this stupid?"

Attilan frowned, starting to ponder the reason for their post-fusion idiocy and how to solve it.

Attilan calmly watched the sea dragon charge again. This time, the sea dragon seemed to have learned a lesson, first spewing a stream of icy water at the Bone Lord.

Then, it charged along the slippery muddy ground, no longer trying to bite with its teeth but instead using its tail to whip.

"Godfather, after all, this is an unverified secret technique. It's normal to have some minor issues when directly deployed on the battlefield."

"As long as I make some improvements, I can allow them to maintain normal intelligence, unleash the full power of the dragonkin within them, and defeat a Bone Lord with ease."

"Especially since there's a stupid sea serpent dragon beast among them. The four chaotic souls are completely suppressed by the sea dragon's wild nature. It's already good enough that they don't attack their own."

Attilan's eyes flickered, pondering whether he should also fuse their souls together.

Then, he shook his head again. Fusing bodies could still be undone, even if it wasn't easy.

But if souls were fused together, it wouldn't be so easy to separate them again.

He could only use soul links to temporarily unite their souls.

Attilan nodded. As expected, the key to this three-in-one dragonkin warrior was still the sea dragon shaman.

Mainly because directly fusing the dragonkin soldiers and the dragon priest wouldn't meet the dragonkin strength requirements.

If he wanted to gather two more materials to fuse together, he could only add a shaman who could coordinate multiple dragonkin powers.

Moreover, just by looking at the sea dragon they fused, one could tell that it was based on the sea serpent. Sea dragon transformation also needed a template.

Resonating dragonkin for transformation was already the standard of a dragonkin warrior.

Dragon body, dragon soul, dragonkin, and energy coordination were four indispensable aspects.

Attilan stroked his chin, starting to think about a more complete magic array.

Since the fusion materials couldn't be strengthened in a short time, he could only provide off-field assistance, using the power of dragon marks to make up for their shortcomings.

Most of the dragon marks that stabilized the dragon soul were in the sun and darkness dragonkin.

This secret technique would definitely have to pass Sesthystis's eyes, so he couldn't use darkness dragon marks.

As for using sun dragon marks, he could completely attribute it to Code Nine, the sun dragon soul.

If Sesthystis asked, it was Code Nine who taught it.

How to add some sun dragon marks that stabilize and enhance the dragon soul into this magic array, which was entirely constructed using ocean dragon marks?

This was a technical job.

Attilan immediately squatted on the ground and started scribbling.

The dragon head looked at him curiously.

"You want to improve the magic array now? Although it will take your subordinates quite a while to inscribe the magic array, improving a magic array isn't something that can be done in a day."

"Moreover, you don't even have an hour right now."

There were also a few dragon marks related to dragon soul stabilization in the ocean dragon marks. Attilan could chain the needed sun dragon marks with them.

Watching Attilan use a broken spear he picked up to write dragon marks on the beach, Sesthystis frowned. It seemed he could really do it?

Sensing the scene transmitted back by the dragon head, Sesthystis, who had been sitting quietly in his palace resonating with the ocean dragon soul, moved his body.

His godson seemed to truly be a gift from the Dragon God to the elemental giant dragons.

Not only was he exceptionally talented, with the possibility of advancing to an elemental dragon king upon adulthood, but his innate talent for learning elemental dragon marks was also second to none.

Being able to sense and master individual dragon marks was indeed a talent brought by bloodline.

But chaining dragon marks and maximizing the power of dragon marks required acquired wisdom.

Sesthystis suddenly had a premonition that as long as Attilan could live well until the Ancient Dragon stage, the ocean sub-dragons would definitely restore their former name of Life Giant Dragon.

Sesthystis looked at the ocean dragon soul in his hand, feeling that he should find a time to hand over the ocean dragon soul to Attilan for safekeeping.

For him now, the ocean dragon soul was almost losing its value.

Through constant resonance and absorption, Sesthystis's dragon pearl was already approaching the level of the ocean dragon soul, although there was still a considerable gap between it and the ocean dragon soul he obtained, which seemed to have been personally created by the elemental Dragon God.

But through several communications and exchanges with the Bearfolk, Sesthystis understood a principle: it's better to have things for yourself.

Who knew if there were any means of revival left by the elemental Dragon God in the dragon pearl.

Speaking of which, the ocean dragon soul had been in his hands long enough.

The ocean dragon soul had been lost in the human world for so many years, and there were very few records of it staying in the hands of one master for more than two hundred years.

The ocean dragon soul had a certain spirituality and its own ideas.

If it wasn't a suitable master, even if they obtained the ocean dragon soul, they wouldn't be able to use the energy in the dragon soul to strengthen themselves.

Sesthystis felt that since Attilan was so talented in dragon marks, he might as well give him the ocean dragon soul to study.

If there was anything in the ocean dragon soul that Sesthystis hadn't fully understood, it must be the dragon marks within it.

Originally, Sesthystis thought that all the lost ocean dragons were the original dragon marks.

But when comparing the original Sea King dragon marks that Attilan taught Audreys with those in the ocean dragon soul, Sesthystis discovered that the dragon marks in the ocean dragon soul...

Seemed to have a little something extra, the power was more full and delicate.

It was self-contained, making it more difficult to control the ocean dragon soul.

"It's done!"

The snake strategist, drenched in sweat, finished drawing the second magic array and suddenly heard Attilan's excited shout from the beach.

Turning around, he saw Attilan pointing at him with a broken rod.

"Snake Strategist, come over here and use this new magic array to guide the second group in fusing."

The snake strategist inexplicably felt a little stifled. He had finally finished drawing, but he was told that the magic array was outdated and unusable.

"Yes!"

Attilan pointed to the magic array and explained:

"Although the previous fusion was successful, it was because the quality of the four of them was the best. If it were you four, the fusion shouldn't fail either."

"But! You are likely to lose control directly after the fusion due to the enormous power and wild nature contained in the bloodline of the sub-dragon."

"The mindless pseudo-dragons can't distinguish friend from foe, and are likely to cause even greater losses to our side. Therefore, we must strengthen your souls and administer medications that stabilize and enhance your mental fortitude."

The snake strategist wore a mournful expression.

"General, the logistics soldiers were killed in the initial conflict, and the medications they carried were destroyed as well. We have no mental fortitude medications to use."

Attilan directly sent the snake strategist flying with a broken staff, then used a water-formed hand to grab him back.

After giving the snake strategist a bottle of life potion, Attilan said in an icy tone:

"We're still at war. I'll only hit you once now. You can receive the rest after the war is over. There's no offsetting merits and demerits."

The life potion restored the snake strategist to his peak condition.

"Understood!"

Glancing at the water-formed dragon head beside Attilan, the snake strategist began to learn how to construct the dragon纹 magic array.

"General, how long can this sea dragon they've synthesized last?"

Attilan paused, tapping the broken staff.

"Don't worry about it. Focus on learning your magic array."

The reason for rewriting the magic array was that the previous magic array had also fused into the bodies of the three people and one beast during the fusion process, serving as a stabilizing foundation for their synthesized dragon beast.

The original plan was for the shaman to use his mastery of flesh fusion to directly fuse the four of them together, without the need for time-consuming, laborious, and expensive auxiliary means like magic arrays.

The main goal was to save money!

Resources were primarily supplied to talented individuals.

Those willing to participate in Attilan's experiment were indeed elites.

But not geniuses!

Geniuses had bright futures, and had a high probability of succeeding as orthodox dragon vein guardians.

Why would they take Attilan's small path, a new path?

Because participating in this experiment could get them access to specially supplied resources, which was why so many people signed up.

The auxiliary materials used in the experiment came from the druid laboratory Attilan established in the forest, staffed by young graduates from the druid school.

Those old scholars who never left their homes finally had a few useful assistants.

They couldn't provide much help for their experimental breakthroughs.

But with assistants, they could focus on research.

At the same time, their achievements had the potential to increase production and be promoted in Attilan's kingdom.

Attilan's sea dragon synthesis transformation integrated knowledge from the animal, plant, elemental, and life schools.

Without the support of the druids in the forest, Attilan really couldn't pull it off.

For example, the Fang Brothers, one raised dogs and the other raised crocodiles.

Attilan directly said, can these animals you're raising fight? Can they help you strengthen yourselves? Can they extend your lifespan?

No!

But his project was different.

He directly studied the world's top creatures, dragons!

Once he achieved results, his druid level would increase, and his lifespan would also increase.

A win-win!

This experiment was also beneficial to Attilan. He was studying how to transform from a dragon beast to a pseudo-dragon, and from a pseudo-dragon to a giant dragon.

This was not fundamentally different from Attilan's need to study the transformation into elemental dragon kings, or even higher levels of life.

It was just an increase in energy level.

The essence of the fantasy world is just leveling up, leveling up, and leveling up again.

Attilan was confident that no one understood the fantasy world better than him!

With the druids' help, he could compress the cost of training these people.

Could Attilan have built the Scale of the Sea by relying solely on Sestus's free-range method of collecting wild materials to train his subordinates?

Watching Attilan use the broken staff to write and use his own magic to guide the surrounding magic to construct this new magic array, Sestus nodded with satisfaction.

"Attilan, you truly have talent in dragon纹. If they can really win, I'll lend you the Ocean Dragon Soul to study."

"If you decipher the secrets of the Ocean Dragon Soul, it's not impossible to give it to you."

This pie was big, round, and faintly fragrant.

Attilan felt that he had a chance to eat it.

"It's a deal!"

Then he excitedly roared at the snake strategist:

"Didn't you hear Godfather's words? Study hard!"

Attilan directly used his mental power to activate all the power contained in the magic array he had drawn on the ground.

He also understood what Sestus meant. On the surface, Attilan still couldn't directly intervene.

But he could use the magic array to help from the sidelines.

It seemed that his godfather was ultimately attracted by the charm of the dragon纹 chain.

Attilan's method could strengthen the snake strategist and the nine people present, as well as the three dragon beasts' impressions of these dragon纹 in a short period of time.

After the synthesis, they could also more easily mobilize the power of the magic array to stabilize themselves.

They wouldn't lose control as easily as the first sea dragon.

Looking at the remaining three sea beasts, Attilan felt a bit amused.

The red lobster and the cyan octopus were relatively normal.

"Why did you contract such a silly pink starfish?"

The sea dragon shaman excitedly stroked his elemental partner.

"General, don't look down on this starfish. It can fight! It has strong recovery abilities, and it can eat anything. It's easy to raise."

"Compared to their sea beasts, the speed at which this starfish, which I tamed last, improves its dragon vein isn't any slower than theirs. I believe it will soon become the strongest sea beast!"

The shaman who contracted the octopus coldly said:

"General, his starfish is still normal. There's another guy who found a yellow thing from somewhere and contracted it, claiming to be a sea dragon shaman."

"But all the sea dragon shamans don't recognize such an elemental partner, considering it an insult to the sea dragon shamans."

Attilan smiled.

"Don't worry about what they contracted. As long as they have a dragon vein, according to the method I gave you, no matter what they were before, they will gradually transform into elemental dragons."

The snake strategist suddenly stood up excitedly.

"I've learned it!"

He picked up the materials and drew the magic array on the ground in one go.

After drawing it three times in a row, the snake strategist vomited blood, but his sacrifice was worth it. Three more pseudo-dragons that could change the battle situation appeared on the battlefield.

And they were emotionally stable pseudo-dragons, because they knew to bring the magic weapons nurtured with dragon beast blood by the dragon vein soldiers.

As soon as they entered the field, the Bone Overlord was directly suppressed.

Even the Evil Spirit of Beasts didn't dare to confront them head-on.

Although the dragon vein weapons couldn't absorb the power of the Evil Spirit of Beasts, they could use the weapon's effect to extract and disperse it.

Constantly weakened, the color of the Evil Spirit of Beasts faded a lot.

The necromancer finally couldn't help but crawl out of a stinking ditch, releasing a cloud of stinking green mist.

"Retreat!"

The Bone Overlord retreated, but the Evil Spirit of Beasts was unwilling to give up the four prey radiating immense vitality.

This was one of the reasons why it was evil, it didn't even listen to its creator.

Sestus smiled and looked at the battlefield.

"It seems that the Ocean Dragon Soul needs to be handed over to you."

The water-formed dragon head emitted a faint light and actually spat out a blue glass bead and threw it to Attilan.

Attilan held the bead.

"This is the Ocean Dragon Soul?"

This texture, with no energy fluctuations, is it really not a glass bead?
