Earth's Greatest Magus-Novel

The condition that the Ouroboros Queen wanted Emery to do, in order for him to pay back her protection and the resources he had received from the Ouroboros, was to return to the facility once a week where he would go through intensive tests on his bloodline.

Even though he was reluctant at the idea, the queen assured him that she would not do anything that would endanger him. She told him that through continued research and testing, they would hopefully be able to create an improved version of the Fey Serum – one that could further enhance his bloodline gene.

On top of that, she even offered him another set of clone frames to be made for him as a reward. After considering the offer, Emery eventually agreed to cooperate, thinking that he might need another clone body in the future.

With that, the deal was made.

Now that Emery had regained some of his lost memory, which allowed him to realize the aftermath he suffered, he became even more interested to participate in the endeavor. However, there was still one question that stuck in his mind.

"How does the serpent bloodline benefit from experiments on wolf genes? For what purpose are they helping me?"

Hence he went through the test with a lot of questions for Bob the Frog, and he expected answers for each step of the process.

When it was started, quickly the frog hybrid was happy to see his progress.ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Noᴠelꜰire

"You have a breakthrough to rank 6! This is good news! Very good news!"

A large amount of blood was taken from his body. After that, his body was tested through multiple strains of elemental and physical forces. When it was done, he was told to use his Fey Transformation.

Thanks to the fact he had regained his memory, the bloodline transformation was one of the easiest things for him to do now, as it was built in as an innate part of his body. He promptly transformed when he was given the signal.

His body and appearance changed as he transitioned with his transformation ability. First of all, he assumed the form of [Fey Transformation] which mainly gave him an increase in speed. Afterwards, he went and transformed into his [Night Transformation].

It was the transformation that grew his body the most as it enlarged his muscles, giving him more strength compared to the other transformations.

The third one, however, took him sometimes before he could finally get it to work. Eventually the [Twilight Transformation] that greatly enhanced his overall spirit power emerged.

As for the last transformation, the one classified as the [Beast Transformation], Emery couldn't use it no matter how hard he tried.

"Don't worry. I believe that the reason is because your gene is still not refined enough," said Bob when he saw the failed attempt. "I think it will come back to you once your bloodline gene passes the 40% mark."

Despite his appearance, Bob was an expert in half-blood gene experiments. One of the best, in fact. Hence he knew the fact that the so-called Beast Transformation was actually a peak transformation that was coveted by all half-blood magus.

The experiment lasted for a full day, and by the end Emery was thoroughly exhausted. By the end of it, Bob gave Emery another half a dozen [Fey Serum] for him to bring back with him.

"See you again next week."

Emery made his way back to the residence Ouroboros had given him, where he immediately resumed the training. His main objective was to once again be able to cast nature spells.

This time, Emery attempted to cast the basic nature spell [Entangled]. He had its rune formation set up in his mind already, so he only needed to channel some spirit energy from his crystallized magus core to successfully cast the spell.

He gave it a try, but was met with failure. He didn't give up and quickly tried again. Alas, each time, when he thought he was just an inch away from success, it never came as another failure greeted him.

Seven days passed and still nothing significant had happened in Emery's training. He was completely immersed in his training, but he could only stop it because it was time for him to do another gene experiment.

When he stepped into the facility and entered the examination room again, everything went the same as last time. When it was finally over, this time Emery didn't immediately return to his residence. He asked the Ouroboros for someone who could help him with his problem.

That shouldn't be something difficult as there were thousands of nature element magus within the Ouroboros. The Queen Ouroboros decided to give him one of the family's magi to ensure his secrecy was maintained. In the end, Emery received someone who could help solve his dilemma.

Another week was the time it took for Emery to finally be able to cast the simple spell [Entangle] once again. Moreover, it was one that was only strong enough to pull and throw a small pebble.

"This is taking too long!"

If a simple Tier 1 spell took him this much time, when would he be able to cast high-tier spells?

Stressed by the revelation, Emery decided to stop his training for now and take a walk in the garden outside his residence. The place he was given was heavily guarded, so he was never alone.

When he arrived before the small pond in the middle of the garden, Emery heard the laughter of a small child followed by the sight of a little girl. A silver-haired girl, whom he had seen before in his memories.

The girl was clearly elated to see him, running with both little arms open. "Uncle!!" She crashed into his legs, holding it tight.

"Shinta… you are Shinta?"

"Eeemm mmm," said the little girl as she nodded slightly at him. "Uncle.. I haven't seen you for a while… Where have you been?"

Although confused by her words, Emery decided to say, "I was sick… Only recently have I been feeling better."

"Ahh... it's good if you are better…" the girl then frowned as she said "I really hope auntie also gets better... I miss her too.."

"Auntie… Auntie Silva?"

Before the girl could answer, a rough voice rang in the air. "Shinta come here!"

It was a man that Emery recognized as Vizna, the girl's father and Silva's brother.

Curious, he approached the man as the girl ran towards him. Before he could say anything, Vizla said sharply, "Get lost... I do not want to speak with you."
