Chapter 155: Anti Magic. . .

To be honest, Chris was a bit disappointed when the bonding began, since last time when he bonded with Nyxie, somehow, all the wards he'd cast around the room had somehow Vanished. That's the reason why Dora was able to enter and see him all bloodied.

Thus, to investigate how that had happened, he'd even cast a lot of layers of wards, with each layer being more powerful. To really wanted to know how the wards disappeared since even though he can cast OP wards with his unique casting, he can't do much about dismantling them besides brute force.

Though to his disappointment, this time, they're all still present upto now. But...

"Metamorphagus...."

Chris muttered as carefully looked at his own hands which are still throbbing from time to time.

"Damn..."

It's not a loss at all! Oh, how he's always wanted this ability.

He couldn't begin to imagine just how much he could abuse this ability. If he were to be honest, he should have no business even getting this ability. He's already loaded as he is. But if it's being given to without even having to work it, then he's all for it!

Chris grinned but the sharp and elonged canines pricked his inner lip.

"What the" he touched his canines and found out that they had changed to this.

Well, it was no big deal. It has happened before as well due to his drakonic characteristics, so this is not anything new. He might be getting this again due to the Horned Serpent.

'Are Horned Serpent's poisonous as well?' he wondered.

Nyxie is also poisonous, but fortunately, she hasn't poisoned anyone yet. She had almost bit Dora a few times, but she's a good girl now after Chris got really angry once when she had used magic and forbade her from using it.

Anyway, Chris focused back on the bonding processes. He looked at Dora for a while to confirm something.

'Her bond is strengthening,'

When her bond had already formed, Dora hadn't gotten many benefits from it since her bond was just a normal one, without pure magic.

In the normal bonds that ordinary wizards form, not much can be achieved, especially in the beginning. You have to train the abilities continuously and increase the strength of your bond manually to get the benefits that he's getting almost instantly due to the bond being formed on Pure magic.

Thus, right now, not only Dora is getting Chris's and very few of Nyxie's, but she's also getting more of the Horned Serpent's abilities since the bond is now being strengthened by pure magic.

"Arrgh.. ,"

While he was pondering this, he started feeling a mild pain in his chest. He didn't mind it and kept healing everyone. But soon he frowned.

This pain wasn't even that much and it only hurt a bit. But... the problem was,

'Why the hell hasn't it already healed?' He's wearing that bulky metal vest load with pure magic. Any injury or pain there should automatically get soothe by pure magic. Then why the hell is it still not gone?

Fortunately, the pain had disappeared soon as well, but he couldn't understand what was the reason. He just shrugged.

But his paranoid mind was telling him that it might be coming from his soul. It should definitely be in a lot of strain right now. He's using so much magic and he's also having another bond.

Well, it's not like he had plans to bond with a lot of creatures to make an army or something, so it's okay. But...

'I need to delve into soul magic soon,' he decided. Then he can think of bonding with more creatures, if he absolutely needs to.

Soul magic is dangerous, but it's just too interesting, powerful, necessary, and useful. For now though, he's only going to do research until he's had enough knowledge in the field.

Soon, it was time for the bond to finish.

'Is it finally ending?!'

He was very happy when it was finally ending! He's been dying so much with pain that it felt like a long time had passed and he's had to constantly keep thinking of different things to distract himself from the pain. He checked the time to see how much time it took.

"....."

5 minutes.

...F*cking five minutes. The process of bonding, which happens over such a long time ending in 5 freakin' minutes! Of course it was going to be painful. The streams of magic were thinning and the amount also decreased. It seemed it was already over and Chris sighed.

But!

"Huh?"

Just before it seemed like it was going to end, the automatic movement of his magic intensified by a lot suddenly!

Chris stood up, "This feeling"

'This is it!'

This was what he was looking for in the beginning! It happening now, and the intensity is greater. Last time, he was too distracted with Pain to see and feel what exactly happened at that time. Thus, this time, Chris braced himself.

Though he was sure this wouldn't hurt them, Chris still spread out a Corpomency barrier in front of Dora, Nyxei, and the egg. Shielding charms are now too old-fashioned for him.

Chris then turned his attention back to the phenomena happening in front of him. The magic which had gone out of his control first condensed itself. Then, it seemed to change its very properties and it became colorless! .

And in the next moment,

*VHROOOM*

Chris stood in the basement of his mansion will the Dora. It was time he tried out everything he'd got.

Both he and Dora hadn't yet tried out what they got from the bond, since Chris had insisted they start trying after the bond is formed for maximum benefits.

Thus, Dora had also been holding off until now.

"Alright," Chris said after he was done stretching, "Let's start,"

"Um... what do I have to do?" Asked Dora. She wasn't sure how and where to even begin.

Chris, having experience in the field, nodded and took the pose of an expert.

"First off, try doing this,"

He said, and he willed his body to go invisible.

Almost instantly, he felt a new kind of magic spread out all over his body, and to Dora's surprise, he disappeared.

"Morgana's sagging titties! How'd you do that?!"

Being an expert on disillusionment, she could instantly tell that this wasn't disillusionment, not to mention that Chris didn't even have a wand in his hand.

Chris smiled.

The most primary ability of a Horned Serpent: Invisibility or Stealth. It's quite different from normal disillusionment charm and it also hides the presence completely.

"Hey! I couldn't do this! I tried a few times!" She protested.

Chris frowned as he became visible again, "Well if you had listened to me and not tried it, you wouldn't have been so disappointed. Try again now. You should already know what to do," he ordered.

Dora was skeptical, but she still tried it with all her might, and

'???'

What was this feeling?

She was felt like she could vaguely feel something moving throughout her body, but the sensation was quite faint.

When she opened her eyes and looked down, she was already invisible.

"Woah! I... I did it?!" She couldn't believe it! She became invisible! Without a spell or a wand!

Dora began jumping in joy, "I did wandless Magic! I did wandless magic!"

Chris looked at her speechlessly, "Silly girl, you're a Metamorphagus. The appearance change you Oh-so-casually keep doing comes under wandless magic."

Dora stopped celebrating,

"Oh... right. But you know what I meant!"

Chris nodded, "Silly girl, I just enjoy reading you. Oh! And that reminds me," Chris suddenly turned around and tried to will his face to change. Even though he was somehow able to do it, it caused quite a lot of pain. When he turned around, he had Dora's face with a beard and mustache.

*GASP*

Dora got horrified and fell back when she saw that.

Chris grinned, "I told you, you'll pay for what you did that day," he said with Dora's face which looked quite comical.

"You!" Dora couldn't believe what she was seeing. Since when can this guy use Metamorphagus abilities?!

But she had forgotten that thought when Chris conjured a mirror and began looking at himself.

"H-Hey! Don't look!" She quickly fired a few spells at him to stop and of course, one was the vine sprouting spell which she had used in the fuel earlier.

But at this moment, Chris jumped. Dora wasn't discouraged. She spread the vines around in preparation for his landing. But... Chris had no plans of landing.

He kept going up until he was hovering around 10 feet above the ground.

The second ability: Flight. It's not levitation. You can literally move around and maneuver in the air even better than a broomstick.

Dora's jaw dropped. 'Now this guy can fly?!' She hadn't realized that she can do it too.

While Dora was worried that Chris would see her face bearded and mustached, Chris was currently lost in his own world. He was currently figuring out just how this Flight magic works.

But both of them stopped in their tracks suddenly.

Because, the baby sleeping inside the egg had woken up just now and it was ready to hatch.
