Chapter 191 - 153 Absolute Control_1

Chapter 191: Chapter 153 Absolute Control_1Transformed into rolling, seething hot energy, it tumbled within her body, and more elements from the surroundings surged toward her. No sooner had Gaven removed his hand than Shanoba spat it out vigorously, even wriggling her stomach, trying to vomit out the potion. Such an attempt was clearly futile. All magic potions share a characteristic: they take effect quickly. The Dragon Blood Potion was no exception, especially since she was a Dragonborn herself. "What did you make me drink?" There was endless rage on Shanoba’s beautiful face. "I’ve already surrendered; how could you treat me like this?" "Relax, it’s not poison. For you Dragonborn, this is incredibly fortunate, ever heard of the Dragon Blood Potion?" Gaven said with an expression suggesting she had hit the jackpot. "It can purify the Giant Dragon bloodline within your body and grant you greater power. You should already feel the bloodline pulsating. Don’t resist this feeling. Try to embrace it, and you will gain even more immense strength." This was Gaven’s moment of inspiration. He planned to make use of Shanoba’s Dragonborn identity and attempt to push her into Dragonization with the Dragon Blood Potion, So she would also leave a Soul Totem on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree. Although Gaven had never tried this before, he was one hundred percent certain that he could influence the owner of the Soul Totem on the Dragon Oak Mother Tree through it. If successful, it would be a cause for joy for everyone. If not, it was just a matter of a bottle of Dragon Blood Potion—a loss he could afford. As the Dragon Blood Potion began to take effect and a vast amount of elements funneled in, Shanoba’s body became somewhat unstable. Her body swelled continuously, to an exaggerated degree, as if something was about to burst forth from within. Shanoba let out a pained roar. Bang! Bang! Bang! The Dragon Scale Ropes on her body were snapping one after another. Shanoba forcibly transformed into a Wyvern state, unleashing an angry roar at the sky, her eyes filled with limitless fury as she turned towards Gaven. She flapped her wings and charged at him, half flying, half running, her maw wide open as if she wanted to bite off his head in one go. Crack! The Wyvern incarnation of Shanoba had only taken one step before her other step halted abruptly, accompanied by a severe tearing sound. Without her knowing, a mass of vines had sprung from beneath her feet, entwining her securely. Before she could completely wrest free the entangled foot, more vines emerged, creeping up from both feet, binding tighter and tighter until even her wings were wrapped up. There was no doubt that this was the handiwork of Lord Virginia. A regular Druid’s Entanglement Spell wouldn’t be so vicious. Even in a lucid state, this didn’t prevent the magical elements from flooding into Shanoba’s body overwhelmingly. A larger body has its advantages, able to contain more magical elements. Struggling furiously, stimulating the blood flow which indirectly increased the gathering speed of the magic elements. To increase the success rate, Gaven still took out a bunch of Spirit Containers and set up a Dragon Seeking Array around Shanoba. Gaven had learned the Dragon Seeking Array a long time ago, but when Susie was around, he usually didn’t handle things personally. With the help of the Dragon Seeking Array, the speed of elemental convergence was astounding. At this moment, Shanoba no longer had time to struggle but focused intently on feeling the elemental convergence and transformation within her bloodline. She could sense something awakening within her body—the Giant Dragon power she had always pursued. Could it be that what the other person fed her was not poison, but an enhancement potion? Could the other person be so kind? But the condition of her body didn’t lie. The worst feeling for Shanoba was in her throat and stomach, as if something was scorching them. She kept dry coughing and in the midst of it, a mouthful of acidic fluid gushed out. The earthy yellow liquid was full of severe corrosiveness, fizzing as it corroded the ground. Dragon Breath! This was Strong Acid Breath! It was definitely Strong Acid Breath! She had obtained Strong Acid Breath! Shanoba felt enveloped by immense happiness; this ability had always been her heart’s desire. With Dragon Breath, her Flying Dragon transformation ability would become much more powerful. Dragon Seeking Meditation is not essential for the enhancement of Dragon Blood. Shanoba’s state provided Gaven with even more reference information, But compared to this lucid state, Gaven still preferred entering Dragon Seeking Meditation, at least the commotion it caused wasn’t as immense. The Dragon Blood Potion was not only effective for Gnolls, but for Dragonborn as well. As Dragonization neared its end, the Wyvern’s form had inflated by two whole sizes, from its normal large form to nearing the peak of large size, bordering on the super-large. Dragon Scales similar to those of a Red Copper Dragon appeared all over her body, whereas normal Wyverns only have Dragon Scales on their legs. The dragon head also showed signs of Red Copper Dragonization, even showing a hint of a playful smile. Gaven already possessed records of Shanoba’s original Wyvern attributes from their last battle. Life Force: 109 (Life Dice: 13D10+39) Size: Large Attributes: Strength 19, Dexterity 10, Constitution 16, Intelligence 12, Perception 16, Charisma 17 After Dragonization Life Force: 122 (Life Dice: 13D10+52) Size: Large Attributes: Strength 21, Dexterity 12, Constitution 18, Intelligence 12, Perception 16, Charisma 19 Shanoba gained a total of 8 points in attributes: Strength +2, Constitution +2, Dexterity +2, Charisma +2, plus the Strong Acid Spit. This Dragonization granted Shanoba tremendous gains. She must have gained the most from all the dragonizations. Although compared to the Gnoll, the attributes she gained were relatively fewer. But don’t forget, her starting point was high, especially her strength, which went straight into the Transcendent level. Hou! Shanoba let out a furious roar as her muscles bulged dramatically, with a massive convergence of elements around her. Crack! Crack! Crack! The vines that were binding her were forcefully torn apart. Strength erupted. In a contest of strength, she was considered a size larger. This was the choice afforded by Shanoba’s transcendent strength. Leveraging her peak large-sized physique, she unleashed the force of the pinnacle of an even larger size. Against her, these vines were naturally insufficient. Before Lord Virginia could make another move, Gaven shouted loudly, "Down!" Within the phantom of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, countless forces gathered, overwhelming the heavens and bearing down on Shanoba’s soul totem. Thump! Shanoba, just freed from the entanglement of vines, was forced to prostrate on the ground, her entire body pressing tightly against the surface, with her wings and dragon head no exception. Shanoba felt as if an invisible mountain bore down on her, unable to so much as lift her head, no matter how hard she tried—she couldn’t even open her mouth to speak. This stifling feeling enraged her even more. Her heart pulsated wildly, sending a surge of blood to every part of her body, as if to rally strength in an attempt to struggle, but to no avail. Even her newly-obtained transcendent abilities couldn’t help her. What exactly was happening? She didn’t feel any magic fluctuations, and it didn’t seem like the other party was casting a spell. Moreover, she had never heard of such magic before. Could it be that the potion given earlier was a control potion, meant for the control now exerted? The enhancement of her body was just incidental. "Rise!" Gaven changed his command again, and the force from the Dragon Oak Mother Tree was no longer oppression but one of lifting support. Shanoba felt an invisible hand supporting her body, forcibly lifting her up. Gaven nodded with satisfaction, the control ability of the soul totem was even stronger than he had imagined; this control was not of the physical body, but emanating from the soul. Even though it was merely a totem on the phantom of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree, the souls were connected. By exerting control over the soul totem, Gaven affected the original soul, indirectly controlling the body. With this move, all Gnolls undergoing dragonization, even Dragonborn, could not escape Gaven’s control. After all, with a Soul Totem, they couldn’t even think of rebelling, not to mention the fact that Gaven had the support of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s energy. In this way, dragonization had become the most powerful means for him to control the Gnoll Tribe. This trump card should not be used lightly; at least until it was certain that the other party had indeed betrayed him, it must not be deployed. Shanoba was an exception, after all she was still an enemy, and also Gaven’s test subject. After such manipulation, Shanoba felt as if every Dragon Scale on her body was standing on end, her bones emanating a Chill Aura. This tactic was too frightening; she felt like becoming a puppet on strings in the hands of the other party, with absolutely no power to resist. "Return to your original form!" Gaven issued the third command. Shanoba felt her body uncontrollably shrinking, reverting to her Human state. This time, Gaven was prepared. As soon as the Magic Aura on her body dissipated, he tossed a set of clothes over, which Shanoba instinctively caught. Shanoba, holding the clothes, looked at Gaven dumbfounded and asked in a raspy voice, "What exactly have you done to my body?" At this moment, her eyes held no anger, only endless Fear. "What I just gave you to drink was a Dragon Blood Potion with a control effect. As long as I wish, I can manipulate your body at will," Gaven blatantly lied, the secret of the Dragon Oak Mother Tree’s illusion was something he did not plan to expose, "As long as you agree to do one thing for me, once it’s done, I’ll remove this Magic for you." "Fine, tell me, what is it?" Shanoba now had no choice. "Go back, find a way to locate the Santarin Association woman who sought you before, tell her about your experience in Blackwell, say that with your own power alone, you can’t take down Blackwell. Ask the Santarin Association to provide resources to support you, to arm and gather a monster army to attack Blackwell. If necessary, you can also inform her of the situation here at Eagle Cliff," instructed Gaven, repeating a tactic he has used before, like with the Spirit Crystal Mine’s Goblins. When the enemy’s commander is a spy sent by oneself, it’s hard to fail. A method does not fear being old as long as it works. "To collaborate with your enemy, gather a monster army and attack you?" Shanoba’s eyes widened as her mind struggled to grasp the concept. Who orders someone to assemble an army to attack themselves? Even this rhetorical question revealed she was far inferior to the Dog Demon in terms of cunning. Hmm, should he send the Dog Demon over there to be her advisor? The thought had barely surfaced before Gaven dismissed it. One security risk can be managed, but combining two risks together could lead to unexpected complications. Moreover, the plan doesn’t require her to be very intelligent or require any sort of flawless cooperation; it’s enough to just tie down the Santarin Association. "I didn’t actually tell you to attack, just to tie up the Santarin Association, keep asking for resources, for support, that’s all. If they take any other action or plan something, like sending an assassin to kill me, you must try to inform me," Gaven cackled, "Don’t get any funny ideas; if I die, the consequences will be far worse, not just as simple as body manipulation." seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Seeing Gaven’s malevolent smile, Shanoba involuntarily shivered, bleak images uncontrollably flooding her mind as she looked at Gaven, as if staring at a great Devil, "If there’s news, how should I inform you then?" "You’ll have to figure that out for yourself. As long as the message reaches Blackwell or Eagle Cliff, someone will inform me," Gaven couldn’t possibly account for every detail, especially with undercover work that required adapting to the situation. Considering Shanoba’s displayed level of intelligence, she was not an excellent agent, certainly not as qualified as the Dog Demon. Whether this will succeed was really hard to say; he could only take one step at a time and see how things unfold. Without giving Shanoba a chance to ask further questions, Gaven waved his hand and said, "You can leave now."
