Hecalto! Ancient Frost Hydra Bloodline!
The blood-red sun hung almost horizontally in the hazy white sky.
It was as if their very presence had driven away the seductive sounds that were drawing people away from their ears.
A strong desire arose in the boy's heart for no apparent reason.
He began to run toward the two blood-red suns, as if chasing some kind of devout faith.
The boy ran across the vast Snow Field, and the raging wind and snow around him could not stop his steps.
He was getting closer and closer to those two blood-red suns.
He didn't know how long he had been running; it seemed as if he had crossed countless glaciers.
Finally, he climbed a steep Ice Peak amidst a [Rage] snowstorm that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart.
He stood atop the Ice Peak, with raging frost swirling and circling above his head in a vortex shape.
His eyes, however, were fixed only on the two blood-red suns in the sky.
He reached out his hand, trying to touch the sun.
But unexpectedly, in the next second...
Beside those two blood-red suns, two more blood-red suns appeared.
Then came the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds, with pairs of crimson suns appearing, hanging high and low in the sky.
The raging snowstorm that swept across the land had stopped at some point.
The two crimson suns that the boy had initially seen suddenly moved closer to him, followed by a gigantic, ferocious, and terrifying serpent head that defied description, silently passing through the wind and snow and appearing before him.
The giant serpent's head was covered in dark blue scales, and the so-called two blazing suns were actually its pair of enormous, blood-red serpent eyes.
It stared coldly at the boy.
The boy's pupils contracted, and he stood frozen in place.
At that moment, those previously vanished, nauseating, evil voices reappeared in his ears, shouting at him hysterically in an unprecedentedly high-pitched tone—
"Frost Hecalto! Frost! Hecalto! Hecalto!!"
Hecalto – the name of Ancient Frost Hydra!
"Damn it! What kind of ancient bloodline was purified from the blood of the Ice Crystal Magic Serpent after being purified by the Saint Blood Tree?"
Bennigo frowned; he had been forced to retreat to the edge of the valley.
He also forcibly brought out the Saint Blood Tree.
Standing on the edge of the valley and looking into it, one can see that the vast valley is now completely filled with an ancient, primitive, and wild atmosphere.
The aura emanated from a figure within the valley.
Ronan!
At this moment, Ronan stood quietly, with three Extraordinary Magic Domain of the same type but different species intertwining and rolling around his body.
Bennigo looked up and sensed a vast number of free ice-type energy particles converging towards the small valley, forming a funnel-shaped vortex that was almost visible to the naked eye.
These massive amounts of ice-based energy particles, enough to fill the entire valley with solid ice, fell into Ronan's body within the valley, but it was as if they had been thrown into a bottomless abyss, with no reaction whatsoever.
The three types of ice-based Extraordinary Magic Domain power surrounding Ronan began to merge more rapidly with the infusion of these ice-based energy particles.
Gradually, they became indistinguishable, transforming into a completely new aura of the Dharma Domain, dozens of times more powerful and refined than before, slowly rising from Ronan's body like smoke and mist. "Three Law Domains Fusion!"
Bennigo's eyes widened in shock. Even though he had witnessed Ronan's astonishing methods time and time again, he couldn't help but be moved and his heart trembled at this moment.
Having just advanced to the second level of wizard, he has already comprehended the fusion of the Three Law Domains.
Bennigo could find no suitable words to describe such talent.
Even though he was once a prodigy in the Arcane Circle, and had seen one outstanding magical genius after another.
But what Ronan is showing so far is still something that he has never seen before, something that is absolutely unique in his life.
The difficulty of comprehending the fusion of the Three Law Domains is no less than that of the Magic Domain Resonance.
The second stage of Magic Domain Resonance... that's a realm only wizards of level three or higher are qualified to touch! "Just what kind of bloodline has he fused with?"
Bennigo murmured, his eyes fixed on Ronan in the valley.
As the aura of the Three Law Domains rose, some changes occurred in Ronan, and Bennigo's pupils gradually contracted.
He saw that Ronan's long, white hair was gradually turning dark blue from the roots, and fine snake scales were growing on his neck and cheeks. The scales were dark blue and had complex, ancient patterns.
Ronan's body seemed to have become even more slender and elongated, and his already outstanding features were so handsome that they were almost demonic.
He slowly rose from the bottom of the valley, his deep blue hair having grown to a length of over ten meters, dancing wildly in the valley like the aurora borealis.
The combined aura of the Three Law Domains, along with the ancient and savage aura emanating from him, gradually coalesced into a blurry, multi-headed giant serpent shadow in the sky above the valley.
At this moment, the bloodline aura emanating from Ronan had reached its peak.
Mysterious, ancient, noble, evil, and majestic. When the multi-headed serpent slowly opened its eyes, Bennigo almost had a strong urge to kneel down and worship it on the spot.
This is the most ancient and primal bloodline pressure, a soul suppression imprinted within the instincts of living beings.
Bennigo trembled slightly, his eyes glazed over, and for a moment he forgot what to say.
In the distance, the Ice Crystal Magic Serpent, which was hunting in the vast forest and replenishing its bloodline through eating, seemed to sense this aura as well.
A look of bewilderment and fear flashed across the snake's crimson, diamond-like eyes, and instinct drove it to lower its massive body.
It didn't know what was happening; it just felt it should do it.
A silent, invisible field emanates from the valley and spreads outwards.
All living beings that sensed this aura ceased their activity, submitted, knelt, and silently worshipped the ancient, supreme overlord who had suddenly arrived.
Finally, as the aura slowly dissipated and the shadow of the ancient multi-headed serpent vanished, everything calmed down.
Ronan, who was suspended above the valley, also returned to normal.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still filled with confusion and bewilderment.
It felt as if I had just traveled through the river of time and woken up from an extremely long dream.
Ronan was still lost in his dream. He looked up at the sky and whispered, "Bennigo, I saw an enormous and terrifying multi-headed serpent."
Much later.
Ronan finally received a murmured response.
"I... saw it too..."
Seven days later.
Outside the Silver Magic Ring, in a vast primeval forest, lies a cliff waterfall.
White water cascades vertically from the top of the cliff, crashing into the deep pool below, washing over the rocks and creating a huge, roaring sound.
The countless water droplets generated by the collision form a colorful rainbow under the sunlight, surrounded by lush greenery, creating a magnificent and beautiful scene.
A figure stood quietly amidst this magnificent scene.
A massive energy current flowed around him, and countless mysterious energies emerged from his body, forming a vast and surging power of the Dharma Domain.
Pure black energy particles surrounded him, like miniature particle black holes, collapsing the air and distorting the light.
Upon careful counting, there are a total of 499 pure black particles.
These pure black particles slowly swirled around the figure.
Gradually, the five hundredth pure black particle quietly emerged.
At the very moment the five hundredth pure black energy particle was born, all the surging momentum around them subsided instantly, and the roar of the massive water flow that had been present at the bottom of the waterfall for years also faded away. Everything calmed down.
Countless free energy particles silently gathered and surged forth, and five hundred pure black particles quietly merged into them, creating a colorful river out of thin air.
Like Seven-Colored River flowing from a legendary, mysterious kingdom, it is tranquil and serene, yet carries a terrifying force that washes everything away.
The Seven-Colored River flows gently past the silvery waterfall cascading down the cliff.
The waterfall's flow, which had been cut off by the Seven-Colored River, vanished silently and was immediately blocked.
"Call--"
The figure controlling the seven-colored energy river let out a soft breath, emitting a sound of relief.
"Finally, I've fully comprehended the [Energy Missile-Particle Torrent] technique and achieved One Segment Magic Domain Resonance."
Ronan's eyes flickered, and within his Consciousness Space, the [Mirrorlight] rune was activated.
In an instant, more energy particles surged into the world, and the seven-colored energy river in front of us instantly split into two.
One above the other, with an invisible giant mirror in the middle.
The next second, the two Seven-Colored River merged into one, doubling their power and becoming even more silent and magnificent, flowing through the void, causing the cliff waterfall to tremble.
After the experiment was completed, Ronan raised his hand and dispelled the [Particle Torrent - Schubert's Seven-Colored River] technique.
The power of the [Schubert's Seven-Colored River], which has truly entered One Segment Magic Domain Resonance, is much stronger than the power he achieved by "tricking" the characteristics of the [Mirrorlight] seal before. If he were to activate [Mirrorlight] again at this point, its power would be even more terrifying.
Ronan estimated that it was roughly equivalent to raising the Master Level proficiency of [Particle Torrent] by several hundred points from the base level of 500.
The [Mirrorlight] seal cannot perfectly replicate the aura of the [Particle Torrent]'s One Segment Magic Domain Resonance Torrent Law Domain, but it can only replicate a portion of its power, and the effect is still quite terrifying.
"If I were to face Clemens right now, this one spell alone would be enough to rival his [[Aionilo's Hand]]."
Ronan was absolutely confident that even though Clemens was at the late stage of level two, he was two minor realms stronger than him.
This gap was enough for him to close with his superior mastery of the Law Domain and his spiritual power quality, which far surpassed that of his peers.
I casually opened my current Character Panel.
Name: Ronan Damien
Age: 17
[Talents: Non-attribute Affinity, [Immaculate Body] (Active), [Thoughtless Lake] (Active)]
[Strength: Second Level Formal Wizard (2%)]
[Skill: Basic Meditation Technique - [Clarity Realm] (Master 511/1600)]
Energy Missile-Particle Torrent (Master 500/1600)
Charged Weapon - Power of Breaking Law (Master 286/1600)
Ice Ball - Desperate Ice Seal (Master 411/1600)
Frost Ray - Frost Veins (Master 325/1600)
Ice Blade - [Extreme Frozen Weapon] (Master 257/1600)
Ascetic Body Forging (Master 489/1600)
Even after advancing to the second level of wizardry, Ronan's mental strength still grew very slowly, thanks to the Mind-Devouring Monster Brain Fluid Essence, the meditation circle, and the Master Level Basic Meditation Technique with over 500 points of proficiency.
Or rather, while his mental strength was growing at a relatively fast rate, it was far less than what was needed for advancement.
After a level two wizard's mental energy crystallizes, the amount of mental energy required to increase by even a little bit in the crystallized form becomes quite enormous. It is no longer realistic to rely solely on meditation to advance quickly.
"I still need the assistance of external resources. With the blessing of Master Level [Basic Meditation Technique], I am not afraid of those minor impurities in my mental energy. This is actually the most suitable way for me to cultivate."
The only problem is that the higher the strength level, the scarcer and more precious the resources that can play a significant role in the rapid growth of mental power become, often requiring them to be found in ancient secret realms and ruins.
"Hopefully, the opening of the Mirror Garden this time will be fruitful."
Ronan thought to himself, then looked down at his hands.
Her hands were long, slender, and well-proportioned, fair and smooth, perhaps more beautiful than many women's hands.
These are the hands that a proper mage should have.
Only Ronan knew just how terrifying the power contained within those hands was.
Seven days have passed since he fused with the bloodline of the "Ancient Frost Hydra".
No one expected that after purification, the pure Ancient Ice Crystal Magic Serpent Bloodline would awaken a trace of the bloodline power of the Ancient Frost Hydra.
"Hecalto..."
Ronan softly uttered the ancient and mysterious name, the name he had heard in a dream about his bloodline.
Representing the pinnacle of the Frost Clan's bloodline, the overlord among ancient magical beasts, born with five heads, and possibly even growing to eight.
Each head represents an extreme, icy power—these are things Ronan found afterward when researching related legends.
The Bloodline Crystal is still embedded in his heart, and every pump of his heart brings a piercing pain. After seven days, Ronan has almost gotten used to the pain.
Each stinging pain meant that another trace of the Ancient Frost Hydra's bloodline power had merged into his body.
This subtly integrated ancient bloodline power is causing his body to undergo a wondrous transformation at all times.
His physical strength continued to increase even without his mastery of Master Level [Ascetic Body Forging] technique, which was an effect brought about by his pure bloodline.
In addition, his physical resistance to ice magic has increased significantly. What surprised Ronan the most was that his understanding and perception of ice magic seemed to have entered a completely different realm.
From time to time, flashes of inspiration about ice magic would appear in his mind.
With this constant stream of inspiration, the proficiency of his ice spells on his Character Panel improved rapidly.
The three ice-elemental Extraordinary Magic Domain have not only successfully entered the formal fusion stage, but their skill proficiency has also continued to soar. In just seven days, they have shown a trend of catching up with each other.
Although the words "ice affinity" did not appear after the "Talents" section of Ronan's Character Panel, only Ronan himself knew that his Ice Magic talent had long surpassed that of a top-tier wizard genius with a single-elemental affinity.
"Given this terrifying talent, even if my body undergoes a primal, Frost Multi-headed Serpent mutation in the future, it wouldn't be unacceptable."
Ronan's eyes were burning, and he even seemed to find pleasure in the throbbing pain in his heart.
"With this bloodline talent, it's not impossible for him to suppress the Ice Crystal Magic Serpent forever."
Ronan raised his head, his expression calm.
Although the transplantation and fusion of this ancient bloodline is a rather lengthy process.
Perhaps only when he fully absorbs the dark blue Bloodline Crystal in his heart can he be considered to have achieved the initial goal. At that time, the words "[Ancient Frost Hydra Bloodline]" may appear after the talent bar on the Character Panel.
But he can wait.
His ambitions don't stop there.
Ronan even considered using the Saint Blood Tree to Bloodline Purification after he had fully integrated with the Ancient Frost Hydra Bloodline.
Who will he see in the dream of bloodline inheritance at that time?
"Buzzing—"
Sensing some strange rune fluctuations, Ronan's expression shifted slightly. He took out a constantly glowing Communication Stone from his Space Ring, held it to his ear, and listened quietly.
