Chapter 154 High-Level Monster Template
One point of spiritual essence is one gram, and to collect one kilogram, one would need a full 1000 points. At this moment, Thor's entire possessions combined are only enough to exchange for 11 kilograms.
Such an expensive price must have something extraordinary about it.
Thor eagerly opened his mouth wide, and with a flick of his long, snake-like tongue, he swallowed the aether crystal from his palm into his stomach.
But this peculiar energy crystal seemed unusually stable. Even when it fell into his stomach, which was as hot as an elemental furnace, it remained completely still and unaffected.
The muscles inside the stomach, covered with fine bony plates and a special keratin layer, wriggle and grind, but they can't scrape off even a speck of dust.
Is this thing not for eating, but only for making equipment?
But the bird in the game quickly became powerful after picking up the ether crystal. Could it be that it needs some special constitution to resonate with it?
Thor was also a bit confused for a while, until he noticed a unique energy slowly emanating from the aether crystal and silently seeping into his body.
Perhaps because the quantity was too small, he did not feel any changes in his body, so he put it out of his mind and stopped paying attention to it.
Anyway, his stomach is big enough that he won't have indigestion, so let the ether crystal stay in his stomach for now and see if there are any new changes over time.
I remember that the skambine in the game became incredibly ferocious after obtaining the Aether Crystal. All the powerful monsters in Final Fantasy feed on Aether, so there's no reason why this thing wouldn't have any effect on it.
And so, a few more days passed, and everything remained calm.
The drow elves had vanished without a trace, but some curious creatures stealthily crept out from various caves, observing Thor and his kobolds and grey dwarves from the shadows.
Thor naturally paid no attention to these tiny creatures that posed no threat to him, and couldn't be bothered to bother with them.
As long as they don't foolishly wander in front of him or venture into the city ruins to dig up his treasure, he intends to let everything else go unchecked.
Seeing that everything was on track, Thor no longer hesitated. His massive body took off and flew toward the lava lake in a corner of the cave.
When the crimson scales were covered by scalding lava, Thor felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in warm water, surrounded by a large amount of fire and earth magic, much more concentrated than in other places.
By fusing with monster templates in such a place, he can obtain a continuous supply of magic power, reducing the strain on his body.
But just in case, he still exchanged for a large amount of energy crystals and various minerals in the same way as before, until his stomach was full, before focusing his attention on the fifth wheel of the huge roulette wheel in his mind.
The entire ten thousand points of essence transformed into a galaxy that swept across the land, its neon-like points of light flashing and firmly attracting his gaze.
What seemed like an eternity to him in that brief moment finally settled on a small square, where a ferocious beast was depicted in simple, black line drawings. Although the specific details of its body were somewhat blurry, the four legs and two wings still made Thor's heart skip a beat.
Congratulations! You have obtained the [Black Eclipse Dragon Monster Template]. Do you wish to withdraw immediately? Yes/No.
The next moment, the notification message that flashed before his eyes confirmed his guess, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.
Anyone who has played the game Monster Hunter will surely be familiar with this monster known as "Calamity Black Eclipse".
It has the classic four-legged, two-winged body structure of an ancient dragon, and its whole body is covered with scales as black as night. The wings on its back are like another pair of even larger claws, with thick wing membranes extending backward from the inside like a cloak.
Whenever this monster appears, it is surrounded by a large black mist, which is actually a unique scale powder called the Mad Dragon Virus. It is also the reproductive cell of the Black Devouring Dragon, which can assimilate all infected creatures into its own race.
After shedding its skin multiple times, this pitch-black monster was able to wash away the filth on its body, transforming into a platinum-like, shimmering form, becoming the renowned Lord of the World—the Heavenly Dragon.
However, isn't it 10 essence points required to extract an Elder Dragon template? Why is this Black Eclipse Dragon appearing among high-level monsters?
A hint of doubt crossed Thor's mind, but it didn't stop him from concentrating and clicking hard on "withdraw".
The space before them began to ripple like water, and a massive mass of spirits burst forth. But this time, it did not appear as a soft white as before; instead, it surged and churned like a thick night.
Two purple tentacles rose from the night, and the darkness dissipated like smoke, revealing the hideous ancient dragon larva inside.
Even though that smooth face lacked eyes, ears, nose, and other organs, Thor still felt that this creature was watching him. He opened his mouth and let out a silent roar, then suddenly charged forward.
Despite being an intangible phantom, it seemed to have gained physical form at this moment, causing Thor's body to involuntarily lean back.
A much larger surge of heat than before erupted from his body, like an erupting volcano or a rushing river, constantly washing over every corner of his body.
The dark red dragon-attribute energy within him seemed to be stimulated, letting out an excited "roar" as it devoured the heat and began to grow rapidly.
He felt as if his skin was itching all over, and the energy in his blood was surging, mixing with the magic power in his body, coating the surface of his crimson scales with a dark color.
The fusion with the Black Eclipse Dragon monster template was successful. The abilities such as [Fangs and Claws], [Tough Shell], and [Pterodactyls] were too outdated compared to the main body and have been converted into pure life force.
[Dragon-attribute ability control] has been retained.
The "Curse of the Mad Dragon" has been retained.
A barrage of notifications flashed before his eyes, but to Thor's surprise, only two traits were retained, and one of them was not named "Dragon Virus" as he had expected.
As for why the Black Eclipse Dragon's unique claw wings were not retained, it's probably because while this posture is more advantageous for close combat, it would severely affect its flight ability, making it somewhat counterproductive.
When all the changes were over, Thor dragged his massive body out of the lava lake, and his originally crimson scales now had a dark, blackish-red tinge.
Wisps of black smoke were seeping out from the gaps in his scales, swirling around his body like ribbons, making him look somewhat similar to the Shadow Dragon from before.
As Thor raised his claws, the magic, dragon energy, and most fundamental bloodline power within him were instantly mobilized, condensing into a tiny, seed-like particle of light in his palm.
This is the Curse of the Mad Dragon, a unique spell-like ability created by mixing the reproductive cells of a Black Devouring Dragon with the magic and bloodline energy of a Red Dragon from another world; it can also be called the Seed of Curse.
