"Detected a special mark." Shenlan suddenly provided a prompt.
Upon hearing the prompt, Herag glanced at his chest as instructed, where there was a black mark.
The mark resembled a humanoid figure with a pair of wings on its back. The specific shape was unclear, only a simple outline could be seen.
"Shenlan, what is this?" Herag asked.
Shenlan: "Searching the archives, querying relevant information..."
"Based on data speculation, the likelihood of the mark being a Bloodline Mark is 97.7%. Generally speaking, a Bloodline Mark only exists on the most original and purest bloodline of this line."
"Due to the subject absorbing the humanoid figure possessing a trace of the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, it is speculated that the subject has awakened the true Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline during the absorption process."
Shenlan provided the data-based speculated results.
"The true Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline?"
Herag suddenly understood. The humanoid figure originally only had a trace of the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, and this amount of Bloodline Power was already very thin.
Generally speaking, even if he absorbed the figure’s bloodline, most of the Bloodline Power would also just be the figure’s.
However, Herag had now awakened the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, which meant that he was now truly a direct bloodline of the Thunder God Ancestral line, a true bloodline holder.
"What is the function of this Bloodline Mark?" Herag continued to ask.
Shenlan provided data: "The Bloodline Mark usually harbors more core Bloodline Power. The possessor can activate the Bloodline Mark to gain more powerful Bloodline Power."
Herag moved his thoughts and communicated with the Thunder God Ancestral Mark on his chest.
The mark quickly reacted, emitting a black glow.
Starting from the mark, the skin began to gradually turn black, and it seemed poised to cover the whole body.
Herag quietly waited for the change to complete, but surprisingly, the blackness was quickly suppressed by some force, retreating back into the mark.
At this moment, he also felt a strange sensation, as if the world around him was rejecting him, a sensation he had never experienced before.
Once the black completely retracted into the mark, the sense of rejection disappeared.
"This is... I understand now."
Herag recalled his experience in the Abyss Plane and suddenly understood.
The Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline Power belongs to the power of the Abyss Plane, and would be suppressed and rejected by the World Will in the Wizard World.
That is to say, Herag would have difficulty using the true Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline Power in the Wizard World Plane.
After trying twice more, he found that he was indeed being suppressed by an inexplicable force, preventing him from activating the Bloodline Mark.
"It seems I’ll have to wait until I get to the Abyss Plane next time to test the true power of this bloodline."
Having tried twice without success, Herag could only temporarily abandon activating the mark.
Unable to activate the Bloodline Mark, Herag began attempting to use the existing Bloodline Power.
He moved his thoughts, mobilizing his internal Bloodline Power, and faint electric lights began flashing across his skin.
"Power +1.2, Agility +2.3, Constitution +1.7."
Shenlan simultaneously provided the Bloodline Power enhancement data.
Herag continued to mobilize his internal Bloodline Power, the electric lights on his body increasing, making his hair stand slightly on end.
"Power +5.3, Agility +5.7, Constitution +5.5."
This was the current enhancement brought by the bloodline, and the increase in data was not very significant.
Herag still needed to continue absorbing the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, or continue increasing his strength, to stimulate more Bloodline Power.
However, he was not limited to absorbing only the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline, the Great Dark Heaven was all-encompassing and could absorb any Bloodline Power.
After verifying the Bloodline Power, Herag began casting other spells, recording the relevant data.
First were various Level 0 attack-type spells.
"Small Fireball Technique 2.5 units."
"Magical Missile 1.7 units."
"Ice Cone Technique: 2.9 units."
"Ice Arrow: 1.5 units." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
The intensity of each Level 0 Spell saw considerable improvement, with a significant enhancement in attack strength.
Herag currently lacked Level 1 attack spells, but this was not something that could be rushed, only gradual progress could be made.
He planned to have Blake contact the Cheqi family’s channel to see if he could purchase some suitable Level 1 Spells.
He currently had over two thousand Magic Stones, which seemed like a lot, but Level 1 Spells were expensive.
Herag could not use all of them to purchase spells, some needed to be reserved.
Now that he had left the Moonlight Forest, many things were not as easy to obtain.
There were many rare Magic Potion Materials and Casting Materials that, if they suddenly appeared, could not be purchased without sufficient Magic Stones and would be quickly bought by others.
So one must always keep a reserve of Magic Stones at all times, just in case.
After experimenting with all attack spells, Herag then began testing his strongest defense spell.
Initially, during the Third Class Wizard Apprentice stage, it had a defense intensity of 18 units. Now, he wasn’t sure what the intensity would reach.
"Shenlan, calculate the strength value of Absolute Defense."
"After calculation, the estimated strength value of Absolute Defense is 45 units."
"45 units... That’s enough to block Malcolm’s Blood Manipulation Technique twice." Herag was quite satisfied with this result.
Malcolm is a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard, and it seems Blood Manipulation Technique was his commonly used Level 1 Spell.
In terms of attack intensity, Blood Manipulation is definitely not Malcolm’s strongest attack spell.
But to some extent, it indicates that the average spell attack intensity of a Level 1 Crystalization Wizard is around 20 units.
Herag’s current Level 0 attack spell intensity was below 3 units.
"I wonder what kind of intensity I would have using a Level 1 Spell?" Herag felt that even if he used a Level 1 Spell, the intensity would likely not exceed 10 units.
After verifying the intensity of Absolute Defense, Herag smeared a portion of blood on his palm: "Blood Python’s Fury."
He wanted to continue verifying the enhancement brought by various beneficial spells to himself.
Various beneficial spells were continuously applied to himself as Herag constantly monitored the data changes.
"Herag Merlin: Power 26.1(3.1)(3.3)(3.2), Agility 24.5(2.1)(2.2)(2.9), Constitution 26.3(4.3)(4.6), Spirit 42.2."
After amassing a variety of beneficial spells, Herag’s body data reached a quite good level.
He believed that with this body data, it would not be so easy for Malcolm to kill him.
The only shortcoming was that, although his body data was high, it might not be capable of countering various strange spells.
At least Malcolm could not possibly engage him in melee combat.
"Not enough, let’s add the Bloodline Power and try again."
Herag closed his eyes, beginning to mobilize the Thunder God Ancestral Bloodline Power within.
As electric lights flashed across his body, his body data began to rise once more.
"Power 31.4, Agility 30.2, Constitution 30, Spirit 42.2."
