Dark placed the gemstone in the center of the magic circle, then infused it with magic power, instantly activating the circle.
Bang!
As the magic circle took effect, scorching flames suddenly surged from the droplet-shaped gemstone placed within it.
Yet when his fingers passed over the flames, he felt no burning sensation. Only the surrounding temperature continued to rise.
Clearly, the gemstone's sealing effect had remained intact all along.
Dark frowned slightly and focused on adjusting the magic circle's circuitry.
As he continued making adjustments, the magic power sealed within that drop of blood began to move at an extremely slow pace according to his will.
After roughly fifteen minutes, the magic power finally inscribed a peculiar magic pattern within the blood.
Then the flames radiating around the gemstone gradually drew inward. A wisp of fire suddenly sprang from the internal pattern, merging with the surrounding flames before gradually twisting and changing shape, ultimately revealing its original form!
Dark's eyes sharpened, and he immediately leaned closer to inspect it carefully.
The flames had taken shape—it was actually a three-tailed fire fox!
"A three-tailed fire fox..."
The three-tailed fire fox was formed from flames, making its finer details difficult to discern. Only its three highly distinctive tails made it recognizable at a glance.
However, there were countless fox-shaped magical beasts, and fox magical beasts with multiple tails were hardly uncommon.
In fact, most fox magical beasts displayed their evolution through an increase in tail count.
The three traits of three tails, fire, and fox alone were insufficient to pinpoint the target precisely.
Dark quickly considered which fox magical beasts fit the criteria, then suddenly removed his finger from the magic circle, cutting off the flow of magic power.
Bang!
The three-tailed fire fox instantly collapsed, and the swirling flames shrank back
