Chapter 280: Near Max Leveled Unbeatable Demonic Beast

“Vrring!”
When that enormous amount of magic power flowed into the black dragon, it’s eyes widened.
“Roar-!!!”
A roar filled with comfort, joy, and excitement rang out from its mouth. The black dragon’s eyes even narrowed out of joy.
The magic power that Shien was directing into the black dragon’s body was transforming into a kind of power that was quickly being absorbed by the black dragon.
This greatly affected the rampaging magic power and flesh of the refining demons within the black dragon. It was as if they were being torn apart by at powerful force and crushed.
“Roar-!!!”
The black dragon roared out once again.
With that roar, the black dragon’s aura started rising furiously, and its level started once again shifting.
However, this time, the black dragon’s level wasn’t fluctuating up and down. Instead, it was steadily rising up from level 93.
In other word, the black dragon’s base power was continuously rising.
“Good!”
Shien grinned and continued directing his magic power into the black dragon.
The reason why the black dragon’s level rose like this is all because of his [Taming] skill.
Demonic beast aren’t like humans and demons, who can raise their power and level via growth and improvements.
For demonic beasts, the most direct method to get stronger is by absorbing magic power.
They can convert magic power into their base strength. Some were even life forms born from magic springs. Thus, their method for raising their level and getting stronger is extremely simple. Just absorb magic power.
Why then are demonic beasts drawn to magic springs and then try to take them over?
It’s quite simple. They want to absorb the spring water of the magic springs. Then, they can convert that spring water, formed from magic power, into their own power and then use that to raise their levels.
If they don’t have the ability to take over a magic spring, then those demonic beasts can only devour other beings in order to gain magic power with which to get stronger.
It’s for that reason that demonic beasts would attack others endlessly. Not only is it to fill their stomachs, but it’s also to gain magic power from the flesh and blood of their victims.
At the same time, demonic beasts will also fight among themselves. The strong hunt and eat the weak, the weak attempt to survive however they can while hunting anything that’s even weaker to grow and survive. Only rare exceptions like golems will try to use other methods to improve their strengths, like by consuming valuable metals, but that’s only because they themselves are special.
At the base, demonic beasts are beings that try to hog magic power to themselves in order to improve their own strength.
This method is kind of similar to Diere’s “oni” transformation.
The difference between them is that Diere’s [horn] can forcefully steal all the magic power from the surroundings. This includes what’s in the air, earth, and the world itself, unlike demonic beasts who can only absorb magic power from magic springs and other living beings.
Even a small magic spring contains an enormous amount of magic power. If one could completely absorb it all, it’s more than enough to raise a level 10 demonic beast to over level 70 in a single night.
However, back at the Mangir Mountains, Shien had once personally witnessed a level 60+ demonic beast completely drain a mid sized magic spring dry. Yet, it wasn’t able to turn all that magic power into actual strength.
That’s because the efficiency of the demonic beasts when they absorb magic power isn’t very high.
Even if a single demonic beast can drain all the spring water from a magic spring dry, in the end, the amount of actual magic power that it can absorb is probably less than 0.01% of it.
That’s how it is when one tries to rip magic power from outside sources. Magic power that doesn’t actually belong to oneself cannot be completely and perfectly utilized. In the end, it will end up causing an enormous amount of waste.
From that perspective, Diere’s [horn] truly is amazing. It could actualy forcefully convert all the magic power it absorbs into power completely, thus allowing Diere’s level to quickly rise, to the point where she could reach level 90+ in just a little bit. No wonder this unique skill ended up being considers something capable of rivaling even Lucy.
However, even Diere’s [horn] can only completely utilize all that magic power temporarily. The moment the [horn] is severed, all that magic power will end up automatically draining away. That’s why after Diere recovered her consciousness, her level had fallen back down to what it was originally.
Add in the fact that forcefully taking outside magic power for her own use made it so that the [horn] ended up affecting Diere’s mind, that is another negative effect.
Given all that, it’s obvious that completely utilizing magic power from an outside source is extremely difficult.
Truth be told, this is true even for the Demon Refining ritual.
This is like Gu refining. The ritual that makes demonic beasts and demons devour each other, absorb each others magic power and flesh, and using it to strengthen oneself, in the end will only cause the refining demons to go berserk and mutate.
Thus, perhaps the status of demonic beasts wasting the vast majority of any outside magic power source that it absorbs, leaving only a tiny remainder for themselves, may actually be a defensive feature.
However, this particular rule will be broken when someone is using the [Taming] skill.
That’s because individuals with the [Taming] skill is capable of converting their magic power into a form that’s easy for demonic beasts to consume, allowing the demonic beast to fully absorb all that power.
With that, the demonic beast is able to absorb magic power at a far higher efficiency than it can normally. Thus, they can get stronger at a far faster rate than before, and get much stronger as well.
In such a situation, adding in the fact that demonic beasts who have absorbed the tamer’s magic power will end up gaining feelings of closeness and reliance toward said tamer, the end result is that the demonic beast will follow and submit of their own initiative.
That’s the effect of [Taming].
It was mentioned before that the Mitra Kingdom has a master tamer. His [Taming] skill isn’t all that high leveled, but he has a skill that greatly increases the success chance of his [Taming] skill. The effect of that unique skill is to strengthen the master tamer’s magic power conversion ability.
The end result is that this master tamer had raised a huge flock of wyverns for the Kingdom as mounts.
Now, Shien is using his own [Taming] skill to convert vast amounts of magic power into a form that the black dragon can absorb before then infusing it into the dragon’s body.
Of course, the black dragon is already very high leveled, so even if Shien’s magic power is enormous, it still can’t easily raise its level just like that.
The reason why the black dragon’s level would rise so fast is all because Shien was using his own magic power as a bridge, infusing it into the black dragon’s body and strengthening its resistance and absorption capabilities and thus allowing it to refine and convert the magic power and flesh of the refining demons inside its body.
This is normally something extremely difficult to do.
If not for the fact that Shien has the max leveled [Taming] skill, as well as the fact that the skill’s effect was greatly boosted by the power of the Holy Sword, then this would definitely have been impossible to do.
Now though, the magic power and flesh of the refining demons were practically melted down in a furnace first. It was first completely reduced to the most basic essence before then being absorbed by the black dragon and becoming its strength.
The goal for this is to remove the portions of the refining demons’ magic power and flesh that would make one rampage or mutate, leaving just the core essence as pure magic power.
Thus, the black dragon’s magic power rose continuously. It’s level also rose continuously, but it no longer rampaged chaotically, no longer caused pain, and no longer caused its body to warp and mutate.
When the black dragon finally converted all the refining demons’ magic power and flesh into pure magic power and completely absorbed it all, the black dragon’s aura had also become the strongest it had ever been.
As for its level, it had completely stabilized.
———— [Lv.99].
A near max leveled unbeatable demonic beast was thus born.
“Rrrrroooooooaaaaaarrrrr————!!!”
A roar echoed across the entire canyon to announce its rebirth.
