Taming Master

Chapter 510: The Ultimate Magical Beast Transmutation 1

“So, what you mean to say is… you really went to the Underworld to catch the Behemoth?”

“That is right.”

“Oh my, it seems to be possible…”

“Huh, it was possible because of you!”

“No, that… I did…”

“Is there some problem?”

“Problem? There sure is.”

“What is it?”

“You are still a human.”

“…?”

“If you caught Behemoth in the Underworld, you surely would’ve entered Erebus.”

“Right.”

“How could a being of ‘living state’ not being an intermediate being be able to enter the Middle-Earth?”

“Haha, now that is a secret.”

“You monster…”

In the top floor of the tower of Gripper.

In it were Ian and Gripper talking about stuff.

But what was interesting was what they were doing.

The two men were sitting and looking at the huge hot flame in front of them.

“By the way, Gripper.”

“What? You monster kid.”

“Those guys… they can be hatched safely, right?”

“If the materials are related to them, then it is sure to hatch.”

“The things are related, perfectly.”

“Then, wait and see.”

A process that made the entire lab of Gripper steamy.

It was because of the extreme flame that Ian had given.

Ian used all the extreme flames he had at once, and due to that, the lab of Gripper became hot and smokey.

There were three blue eggs placed side by side inside the flames.

“Behemoth… Break those eggs and come out.”

The eggs were the eggs of the Behemoth that Ian hunted.

‘Kue, just thinking about this is making me excited. A magical beast transmutter with the huge body of the Behemoth.’

When Ian was hunting the Behemoth, he wasn’t exactly hunting all by himself.

Hoonie and Canoel were with him when he hunted the Behemoth.

Because of that, the three eggs had to be divided between the three of them.

However, all three eggs were with Ian because of the price he had to pay.

‘Hmm, Hoonie was satisfied with the Behemoth leather, and I gave enough gold to Noel.’

If Ian had just planned to take in the Behemoth and foster him, he might not have needed the three eggs.

But Ian had planned the making of a magical beast.

And that was why he needed all three Behemoths.

‘Come on out, come on!’

Ian stared at the three blue eggs while crouching down. It was as if he was about to split open the eggs with his eyes.

But then it did.

Crack-!

One of the three eggs began to crack little by little.

Gripper who just saw that jumped out of excitement.

“Oh oh!”

Ian clenched his two fists.

“Nice!”

System messages started to appear in front of Ian right away.

Tring-!

[The conditions have been met.]

[The Legendary magical beast Behemoth has begun to hatch.]

[Would you like to use the ‘Behemoth Spirit Magic Sealing Stone’? (Y/N)]

The sealing stone was floating in front of the three eggs with a purple glow all over it.

And without hesitation, Ian nodded.

“Of course! Use it right away!”

At the confirmation of Ian, the sealing stone began to break into pieces.

A powerful energy wave came out of it and started to surround the Behemoth eggs.

Woong-!

With a low sound, system messages began to pop up again in front of Ian’s eyes.

Tring-!

[The legendary Magical beast ‘Behemoth’ egg has begun to crack. (Hatch rate: 7 percent)]

[The legendary Magical beast ‘Behemoth’ egg has begun to crack. (Hatch rate: 4 percent)]

[The legendary Magical beast ‘Behemoth’ egg has begun to crack. (hatch rate: 3 percent)]

[For successful hatching, the magic energy of the Devildom needs to be used.]

Ian, almost like he was getting sucked into it, began to think of power while clenching his fists and not averting his gaze.

Gripper just looked at the smiling Ian.

“Ian, that thing… you have that magic stone with you, right?”

“Of course.”

“Are they by any chance, advanced leveled ones?”

“Are two of the advanced leveled ones enough?”

“Ohho.”

“Why the magic stones suddenly?”

Ian was rather puzzled.

The magic stones, which were originally a mineral found in the Devildom mines, usually increased the success rate of the beast transmutation.

Which was why he didn’t understand why Gripper had mentioned that.

The advanced level magic stones, which even Ian had a very few of, were very expensive items.

It was a rare item that wasn’t even listed in the auction house, but a price had to be placed on them. It would cost around 20 to 30 million gold each.

‘Let’s see, there needs to be around three of them in the inventory right now, so that they match perfectly…’

The problem wasn’t just the price.

The reason why Ian kept the magic stones on him was to use them for the beast transmutation.

If he used all three of them right away, it would become difficult for him.

Of course, a little more of mining in Devildom could bring in a few more of them.

However, Ian’s thoughts were interrupted when Gripper’s voice entered his ears.

“If you have the magic stones, it’ll happen quickly. It is only effective before the eggs are hatched.”

“Three of them… before they hatch?”

“No, one of it will be enough. It would be useless to place any more of them.”

Upon hearing the response from Gripper, Ian pulled out the magic stones from his inventory.

Subsequently, new system messages have appeared in front of Ian.

Tring-!

[You have used the ‘advanced magic stone’ item.]

[‘Advanced magic stone’ has been melted by the intense fire.]

[Strong spirit power is spreading through the air.]

[‘Behemoth egg’ is hatching faster.]

Whether or not the eggs were strengthened by the millions of offerings, the three Behemoth eggs began to crack faster.

Crack- Crack-!

The eggs’ hatching rate had risen to 1 percent in almost 5 to 10 seconds and then went three times faster.

2 minutes had passed.

The Behemoth had begun to hatch. It finally broke through the eggshells and revealed its appearance.

Tring-!

[The legendary magical beast ‘Behemoth’ was hatched successfully!]

[You have hatched the legendary magical beast ‘Behemoth’ for the first time!]

[Increase of fame by 250,000!]

[Leadership has increased by 300!]

[Devil energy has increased by 3,000!]

(Leak)

When the Behemoth Jr. hatched in the middle, the two of them began to break off too.

Thanks to that, Ian’s vision was blocked by numerous system messages, and he was feeling like he was on cloud9.

‘Keuuu. At last…! I can finally go to Cervian!’

Krrrg- Grrrrng-!

Krrrr-!

Three beasts were growling and snarling because of fear as to who was going to be their leader.

Ian looked at the guys with a calm face, and Gripper was looking at Ian with envy.

“Ian.”

“Yeah, Gripper.”

“Can’t you give one to me?”

Gripper was staring at Ian with shiny eyes.

But instead of responding to the question of Gripper, Ian hastily opened the dimensional portal.

“Gripper, I’ll see you later! I’m a little busy now…!”

In an instant, Ian disappeared into the portal, taking the three behemoths with him, leaving Gripper pouting.

“Ah, my Selipa needed a friend…”

Ultimate Magical Beast transmutation.

What did the ‘strongest beast transmutation’ that Ian wanted mean to him?

It wasn’t so simple; it couldn’t be explained in a single line either.

[Gathering the most powerful magical beast that existed and to create a magical beast out of it.]

That was what Ian had been dreaming about—the ‘Ultimate Magical Beast Transmutation’.

So what did he need for having a string beast?

To understand that, the system had to be understood correctly.

Kailan described the combination of magical beasts as follows.

-Magical Beast Transmutation

The magical beast transmutation was a forbidden magical skill that could help create powerful beasts by combining two or more magical beasts.

The higher the alchemy ability of the master, the higher the chances for the transmutation of the magical beast that would be created, and the success rate of the beasts would increase.

Basically, the magical beast transmutation required the main beast for the main body of the new one as a means and an additional one or more beasts for what they possess.

If it succeeded, one would be able to gain much more buffs based on the main beasts.

The beast that was going to be placed as the body needed to be of a higher level or on an equal level of the other materials of the monsters.

If the magical beast transmutation failed, the materials would vanish. But the monster that was supposed to be the main body of the alchemy wouldn’t disappear.

*Once the magical beasts were transmutated, special materials like the ‘magic stones’ or the ‘beast ability stones’ could be added.

And as it could be understood from what was given about, the first thing one needed was the main body of the beast that was going to serve as the base for the process.

Ian chose behemoth as the main body of the beast.

Why did Ian choose the behemoth when there were many more legendary beasts?

He went into the Underworld and went through a lot of hard work to get it back.

Naturally, there was a reason for it too.

It was the first secret that Ian had discovered in the process of alchemy by doing it thousands of times.

It was related to the ‘Special recipe’ that Cervian had taught Ian.
