The portable environment purchased from Diagon Alley had already been set up in the Ring Space. Sean was now in a vast open space, surrounded by various magically created real-world environments.

Just in case, he also specially bought freshwater and seawater environments, and the Cat-Leopard Pudding is guarding the entrance and exit in the wooden house at the very edge for him.

Sean took a deep breath, adjusted himself to a state of maximum relaxation, and then uncorked the Crystal Vial.

The bottle contained a mouthful of Blood-Red Potion; the ingredients that had been added were completely gone. The Potions had a jewel-like translucence, with tiny bubbles rising continuously from the bottom. These bubbles only appeared in the very center of the liquid, swirling upwards. Sean wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he thought he saw fur, scales, and other things inside.

I wonder what kind of animal I'll turn into... Sean couldn't help but imagine all sorts of images.

It is said that the Animagus animal form of most wizards is the same as the Patronus summoned by the Patronus Charm. However, since both spells are extremely profound, very few wizards can master both at the same time, and the sample size is too small to be used as evidence for a definitive conclusion.

You'll find out soon...

Without further hesitation, Sean raised his wand and pointed it at his heart.

"Amato Animo Animato Animagus"

Then, he drank the Blood-Red Potion from the Crystal Vial in one gulp.

The Potions was smooth on the palate, with a cool touch that didn't irritate the throat. It had no taste, and Sean didn't even have to swallow it as Potions glided through his mouth and throat and into his stomach.

At that moment, a faint metallic smell spread, and Sean felt a strange churning sensation in his stomach.

Almost instantly, Sean felt intense pain that started in his stomach and spread to every corner of his body.

His limbs, muscles, bones, and even Sean's eyeballs and scalp were twitching. The pain was like someone was pulling on his inflexible skin, causing it to Recycling, while something deep inside was about to burst out.

Accompanied by intense pain, his heart pounded, and then a second strong heartbeat occurred.

Unable to contain himself, Sean knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling violently. Pudding Cat-Leopard Pudding on the edge, saw this and paced back and forth anxiously, but dared not go forward to disturb him.

Sean gasped for breath, his thoughts completely disrupted by the pain, unable to discern whether that second heartbeat had ever occurred within him.

This is different from what Dumbledore said... He did mention intense pain, but according to Dumbledore's description, it shouldn't be this painful that makes it almost impossible to think...

Sean had only a little strength left to think; the excruciating pain was tormenting his body.

Furthermore, after the pain, the animal you're about to transform into should appear in your mind... Why didn't I see anything...?

Aside from the pain and the intense second heartbeat, Sean felt nothing else. His head was a complete mess, but no animal image appeared in his mind.

Why is this happening...? I was following all the steps correctly before... Sean thought to himself, kneeling on the ground in anguish.

Has the Potions been contaminated? No... if the Potions were contaminated by sound or sunlight, it would turn an unnatural milky white...

Tormented by pain, Sean's remaining thoughts raced wildly.

There's absolutely no way anything will go wrong... Even if the Potions were switched to be the same color, I wouldn't feel a second heartbeat when I drink it. It's not sunrise or sunset time now...

Is it one of my incorrect heart rate frequencies?

"Ah—" His thoughts were interrupted by even greater pain, the agony of which almost made him cry out uncontrollably.

At the very edge, the Cat-Leopard Pudding's pace grew even more agitated. It wanted to let out a deep growl, but Sean had previously warned it not to disturb him before he transformed into an animal.

At this moment, Cat-Leopard Pudding saw a strange sight: behind Sean, who was kneeling, appeared a huge figure that could break through the ceiling.

The figure was blurry and enormous, kneeling on the ground like Sean, its black shadow writhing in pain.

"Woo..." Pudding instinctively let out a whimper. It sensed danger, a feeling that only powerful magical creatures of its own level could evoke!

Sean, caught in his pain, didn't notice Pudding's movements, nor did he have the energy to turn around and look.

Unbearable pain—that was all he could feel.

The second heartbeat grew increasingly intense.

"Ha—ha—" Sean suddenly threw his head back and gasped for breath. His eyes widened to a terrifying degree, and his pale blue pupils were contracting violently.

Sean, whose vision had become blurred, finally noticed a change; the world seemed different to him.

His vision was still blurred by pain, but it had expanded considerably. At the same time, he looked up and saw the starry sky on the ceiling, which was the decorative starry sky curtain he had bought in Diagon Alley.

At that time, he chose a section of the Scorpio constellation, which is the constellation of his birthday.

The constellation Scorpio is a rather long and narrow constellation, and Sean's height isn't quite high enough, so Sean often has to tilt his head up and down to see the whole constellation.

Now, he can see the entire constellation Scorpio in his field of vision.

"Ha—field of vision..." Sean gasped for breath. This was no longer his original field of vision; his vertical field of vision had expanded, and he could see much more clearly.

At the same time, Sean also discovered that his eyes seemed to be able to adjust the light, and he could see more in some dimly lit spaces.

"Have I developed vertical pupils...? "Sean thought, enduring the excruciating pain.

He raised his hands tremblingly, but no other part of his body changed.

Why... is there any difference...?

He gritted his teeth, suppressing the unbearable pain for the time being, and then began to feel the changes within his body.

Nothing is different... only the field of vision has changed...

No! Sean suddenly opened his eyes.

He hadn't felt it while in pain, but now he finally realized that his magic was flowing through his eyes.

Magic? Magic?

Sean felt the flow of magic within his body in disbelief. It seemed as if there was some strange circulation path around his eyes, with magic swirling around them and transforming into a power he had never felt before.

Why...? Animagus Transfiguration should only require magic at the very beginning, that's a one-time output, and I already used magic when I chanted the incantation...

The magic was operating in a way I'd never seen before, and it had transformed into another kind of power, but I could control it... Sean pinched his thigh, trying to distract himself from the pain.

I've never seen this kind of magic before... no, I have a vague feeling about it, but I can't quite place it... but it's somewhat similar to the magic used in Transfiguration...

Sean had pinched his thighs until they were bruised and purple. He seemed to have some impression of this kind of magic in his mind, but he couldn't remember it no matter what.

I'm very sensitive to magic; I should be able to recall it even if I've only seen it once... unless my strength was too low when I encountered that kind of magic, and I haven't seen it since...

Is that first grade...? Just started school...? Is there some kind of magic that's different from before...?

The Hogwarts Express... The Sorting Hat... The Vanishing Cabinet... The Forbidden Forest... The Forbidden Forest!

"I've got it!" Sean's mouth dropped open in pain and shock.

This... this kind of magic is very similar to that Hebridean Black Dragon!

The little Hebridean Black Dragon I encountered only once. At that time, I had only just begun to learn magic, and I only had a visual impression of this Magical Creatures. It was difficult to discern and remember the surge of its magic power at that time.

The magical energy emanating from around my eyes belongs to Fire Dragon?!

It seemed that because he had thought of this, an image finally appeared in Sean's mind.

The figure didn't have a distinct shape, but its outline was enough to tell that it was a Fire Dragon with outstretched wings!

I'll turn into Fire Dragon?!

Sean raised his hands, which were trembling from the intense pain; they were still smooth, not transformed into sharp, scaly dragon claws.

Why...? Sean no longer had the energy to think about why his Animagus form was Magical Creatures.

The Transfiguration of Animagus is irreversible and cannot be stopped. There is only one thing that Sean can do, or rather, can only do: successfully monetize it.

What is the key reason why I cannot successfully Transfiguration...?

Sean pondered all of this, but no one had ever taught him how to become a Magical Creatures, nor had anyone told him how the magic within Magical Creatures worked.

"Am I supposed to figure out how the Fire Dragon's magic works myself? You piece of shit... "Sean started cursing.

No, my eyes operate automatically, I've never seen anything like that before... something's wrong...

Could it be magic?

Sean had a sudden realization: even though his strength far surpassed that of his peers, he had only studied magic for a little over a year, and Magic Power Source required time and training to grow stronger.

The Magic Power Source within him was already enormous enough for a junior wizard, but it was far from enough for a Fire Dragon!

Sean was breathing heavily. "So, it's because the magic power within me isn't enough to support the transformation?"

Then let's find some outside help to input the data!

Sean took a deep breath, and deep within his now vertical pupils, the pure black Obscurus to spin rapidly!
