The Great Worm Lich

Chapter 157: Transformation

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

No matter what kind of damage the wizard gu suffered, the most effective recovery method was through the nourishing of the owner’s blood.

After Zhang Lisheng spat out a long cable-like blood mist into the sea, it gently extended towards Crocodragon’s body that was gradually sinking.

The wizard gu’s body that was entirely charred with cracks and was badly mutilated, was gradually recovering in a speed that was visible to the naked eyes.

The Crocodragon shook its head and tail in the ocean and set off countless waves. Once again, it rose up to the sky, climbing upwards to the sky along with the rain curtain, with its body wrapped by rotating water swirls that were made from a million tons of water. As if it was trying to go beyond the clouds, it went straight up to the sky.

The instant the wizard gu’s long body left the ocean surface, the clouded starry night began to light up with lightning bolts again. The gigantic body of the Crocodragon that was several dozens of meters long was scorched and torn by thunder fire as it lit up like a torch.

The wizard gu roared continuously while being subjected to such trauma as it endured the torrential rain. Relying on the uninterrupted supply of its owner’s blood nourishment, as new cells grew on the scorched body and new muscles replaced the old ruptured ones, it actually managed to withstand the lightning catastrophe this time.

However, even though the Crocodragon in the sky was able to withstand it with its might, Zhang Lisheng, who was in the factory’s office, slumped as he sat on the ground, falling into a fatal crisis.

Even though the young man had read many bizarre mythical and ancient books, the actual witchcraft that he inherited from Sir Zhang was not comprehensive enough.

As for the Witchcraft’s Gate of Death’s cultivation technique he obtained from the ancient strange worm statues out of coincidence, it only involved the secret cultivation technique and did not have any miscellaneous knowledge about witchcraft at all.

He did not know that after his wizard gu had swallowed the blood from countless animals, it had begun to transform from a giant crocodile to a wyrmdragon. In fact, it was equivalent to the ingenious transformation when one made a breakthrough from Rank-5 Wizard to Rank-6 Wizard.

At this time, the transformation of the wizard gu aided by its owner’s blood nourishment was a totally different concept from a wizard gu having been nourished after being injured in a battle.

At this moment, the power of the thunder fire flew back into Zhang Lisheng’s body along with his voluntary long spurt of blood essence, prompting the wizard power in his entire body to boil vigorously, sending pain to all over his body. For a time, he felt that he might be better off dead.

Actually, if it was not for the fact that the young man had successfully killed a few supernatural realm spies in Hawaii, in which it allowed his wizard power to be doubled in a short period of time compared to when he had just made a breakthrough to Rank-5 Wizard, he would have long been dead when the thunder fire entered his body just now.

At this moment, the crocodile continued to withstand the lightning attack with its burning body in the air, as it gradually flew up to the sky along with the rain curtain.

The body of Zhang Lisheng, who already could not break the long cable of blood essence connecting himself and the wizard gu, began losing enough blood that made his skin sink into his bones at a speed visible to the naked eye, making him look extremely skinny over the course of time.

However, with the huge consumption of the vitality of his body, the young man’s wizard power began to rise. When his face transformed into a skull that looked like it was just merely wrapped in a thin layer of yellow skin, he actually reached the peak of Rank-5 Wizard.

“What a pity.” Even though he was mentally in great pain, Zhang Lisheng was still conscious. Sensing the rich wizard power that was filled in his scarce flesh and blood, he smiled wryly and gritted his teeth to command the three invisible wizard gus other than Crocodragon to enter the underground trenches of the factory with the “connect” spell.

After doing its best to impede future trouble for his mother, despite knowing that he would definitely fail, the young man still tried to support his head and looked far into the dark night sky, staring at the Crocodragon that appeared to be climbing inch by inch with its entire might in vain. In accordance with the secret cultivation method, he drew the outline of the Demon’s image that contained a clear image of facial features on its head with a fixed concentration.

After the Demon’s image was formed in the owner’s heart, the Crocodragon that was already darkly charred and cracked far in the horizon suddenly spouted out smoke from its mouth and nose. The smoke rapidly flew in the darkness without leaving any trace behind, all the way into Zhang Lisheng’s nostril who stood more than several dozens of kilometers away.

Driven by the smoke, the wizard power boiling in the young man’s body transformed into several dozens of weird gus as they began to refine his body’s heterogeneous nature.

Unfortunately, at this time, Zhang Lisheng’s body had already been so badly mutilated that he could no longer withstand it anymore. His breathing gradually died off as he lied with his back on the carpet. Slowly, he closed his eyes in the midst of the storm.

The thunder fire began to drift out of the young man’s body from his pores, burning his vitality and skin away.

By the time Zhang Lisheng’s vitality was almost completely cut off when there was no longer any intact skin on his body, the Crocodragon that was crawling up towards the sky could no longer stand by itself either as its body began to shake as if it was about to fall.

At this time, the jelly gem Zhang Lisheng bought from the Amazon jungle’s little town that he always wrapped on his fingers and wrist as a plaything to amuse himself with due to its stretchable and molding bizarre capability, suddenly emitted a faint colorful light that began to extend outwards continuously from his fingers.

His palm, elbow, arm, chest... The size of the jelly stone seemed to be infinitely expanding. In a short time, it wrapped around Zhang Lisheng’s body who was on the verge of death.

After that, the colored soft stone infiltrated into the young man’s scorched and battered body, beginning to fill his exposed flesh and bones, saving his last breath just like that.

Now that Zhang Lisheng was not dead, despite the constant interruption in the long bridge of blood essence that was nourishing the Crocodragon, it was not completely cut off. This caused the Crocodragon that was crawling up towards the sky along with the rain curtain that seemed to be going to fall into the sea the next second to continue to twist its body and spiral upwards bit by bit.

Time passed by minute by minute. Finally, after the last lightning strike, the wizard gu buried its huge head into the dark clouds of the sky.

At that instant, the lightning bolts in the dark clouds flashed again and again. The Crocodragon’s long body that was continuously creeping into the clouds was burned by the thunderfire till it became black ashes, in which it was scattered down along with the heavy rain.

However, a slender long snake shadow that was about six to seven meters long burst out of the over 50 meters long remnant body of the wizard gu that was refined by the thunder strikes.

That snake shadow appeared to be fragile at first sight as it flew in the thunderclouds with its trembling body. However, when it suddenly bent and charged out like a long arrow on the bow, it flew through the clouds and seemed to grow healthier as time passed on. Rising up above the sky, riding along with the wind and rain, it appeared to be roaming freely as it soared through the clouds.

The instant the snake shadow appeared, Zhang Lisheng’s stiff body began to tremble vigorously all of a sudden for a moment. Its mouth that was wrapped in the soft stone opened and closed continuously, seemingly dying but never really did.

By the time the snake shadow was able to roam freely in the clouds, he suddenly calmed down. At the same time, the jelly gem on the young man’s body began to slowly wear off too, in which it finally turned back to become a thin line that was wrapped around his finger.

At this moment, the snake shadow that soared through the sky instinctively also fell into the ocean. All of the abnormalities disappeared without warning, leaving only the young man’s body that was like a set of bones to breathe deeply, no longer as terrifying as the dead person hanging from a tree with its dried body.

A few minutes later, the electrical engineers in the new LS slaughterhouse had finally repaired the short circuits and the factory regained its lightning, the machines were restarted as well.

The farmers and helpers who stayed overnight to slaughter the animals through self-service began to discuss animatedly, whether the line of fire rising up to the sky continuously that they had just witnessed in the torrential rain was an alien spaceship or a ball-shaped lightning bolt, as they continued to drive the animals onto the machines to be slaughtered.

From the last cries of the animals and the cold raindrops entering the French casement windows continuously, they gradually awakened Zhang Lisheng from his blackout. Absentmindedly, he opened his eyes and took a long time to realize that he had not died. Shocked, he withstood the pain felt by his body as he crept up from the carpet. With a stagger, he actually fell out of the window on the second floor of the office.

When he woke up once again, the young man could feel that he was already lying on a warm, dry bed. Before he opened his eyes, he heard a strange voice saying in a regrettable tone, “The patient’s vital signs are very weak and short. The chance of awakening in this period of time is very low. I’m sorry, Madam, but I really have to ask you to be mentally prepared... Oh! This child is waking up now! This is a miracle! Young man, can you remember your name?”

“Baby! You’re awake! Baby, do you still remember who I am? Do you?”

“Mom, don’t worry about me, I’m fine! Doctor, my name is Zhang Lisheng. I opened the window in the office and accidentally fell off the window. This should be the hospital right?”

“Very good! Very good, young man! Looks like your consciousness is very clear, which proves that there’s nothing serious about you. Don’t think too much anymore. what you need now is a good rest. Madam, don’t be too overwhelmed, your child should be fine. You can talk to him for a while now, but don’t cause the patient to have too many emotional fluctuations. Let him rest after fifteen minutes. Do you understand?”

“I understand, Doctor! Thank you! Thank you for rescuing my child!”

“You don’t have to thank me, this is my responsibility.” The middle-aged doctor in a white coat smiled and left the ward with the nurse.

“Mom, I’m fine now! Stop crying,” Sensing the dormant wizard power in his body, Zhang Lisheng struggled to stretch his arm out that was affixed with the wires of the medical instrument to grab his mother’s hand on the bed before laughing. “I merely fell from the second floor accidentally. Its height is even less than four meters...”

“Urgh stop it, baby! How could you be so careless,” Lili, who was engulfed by her worries in the small intensive care unit of Bellucci Hospital in New York, began to grumble in a whisper.

Fortunately, Lavin, who was standing by her side, finally whispered, “Lili, Lisheng needs rest and reassurance. Let’s stop talking now...” and allowed Zhang Lisheng’s ears to be free from its torment.

“I’m sorry, baby, I shouldn’t have nagged you at such an hour. You should rest first! Sleep! The doctor said you need to rest well. I’ll be here to accompany you,” Lili, who snapped back to reality, turned off the light in the ward. “Dear, you can go home first. Go take care of the children at home and I’ll stay in the hospital tonight with Lisheng.”

“Alright, I’ll go back first, Lili. Don’t be too...” As Lili and Lavin whispered in the darkness, a look of ecstasy could be seen in Zhang Lisheng’s face. He had to grit his teeth to prevent himself from exclaiming out loud.

He knew that after the wizard power had become dormant in his body after undergoing a transformation from life to death, where his vitality was running slowly in circulations through his internal body, what he needed was not some rest nor treatment. Instead, he needed to quickly return to his factory to look for his wizard gu so that he could finish his transformation, which would allow him to make a breakthrough to Rank-6 Wizard for real.
