Chapter 209: Wendigo



The next day, an inner guard arrived to deliver the Wendigo's tooth and left with a respectful expression.

Aur looked at the huge tooth-shaped structure with a satisfied expression on his face.

"Not bad. Now I can finally make the Devour spell. I can finally create a set of spells that perfectly suits me for now," he thought as he took the huge tooth inside his room.

To be honest, this wasn't actually a tooth. It was the essence of a Wendigo. Wendigos were creatures of nature that lived in another dimension to the human world.

However, these creatures could occupy human bodies and materialise in this world through humans, and only humans.

Wendigos were like enemies of the entire human race because to materialise in this world, they needed humans—corrupted humans, to be precise.

Once they occupied humans, their strength gradually increased just by staying in the human world.

However, once the host body of the Wendigo was killed, they died with the host, leaving behind all their accumulated essence, which manifested as a large tooth.

Looking at the tooth, Aur's eyes flashed in contemplation.

"It should have been a wizard apprentice before it was slain by a wizard. That means it must have stayed in this world for at least a decade or so," Aur thought. The Wendigo and humans were arch enemies, however, it was never taken seriously because it needed too much time to grow, and hiding it was quite hard.

Any tier one wizard could sense the birth of a Wendigo the moment they materialised and easily kill it, so they weren't considered much of a threat. But with the careful nature of powerful wizards, how could it be taken lightly?

There were even countless deviations done, and the first order of duty was to kill Wendigos the moment they took over a human, without mercy.

These thoughts flashed in his mind as he looked at the giant canine tooth in front of him, almost reaching his own towering height and emitting an eerie presence.

"How heavy is this?" Aur mused, trying to carry the tooth. However, when he lifted it, he was a little surprised.

"Let's get started," he muttered, looking at the materials piled up in front of him.

First, he needed to extract the essence from a flower called Nether Wood.

Aur's crimson eyes glowed with determination. "Tier one: Elemental Mastery."

Instantly, he was able to control the five elements of nature: fire, wood, water, air, and soul.

The wind rustled against his long white hair as he gripped his hand, and the black flower in front of him was instantly compressed, turning into a murky black liquid.

Which directly fell into a container.

Just like this, Aur extracted the essence from numerous flowers one by one in a specific order.

By the end, the liquid in the container emitted an eerie presence, which made even Aur's scalp numb from just staying near.

However, Aur's eyes glowed with a pattern again, calming his mind from the presence.

"Tier one: Calm Mind Incarnation."

"These spells must not be underestimated," Aur muttered in a strange tone, rubbing away the single sweat that fell from his head. The presence that Aur felt was filled with a death aura that trapped his mind.

He looked at the murky liquid, now a mixture of green and dark. This wasn't mud, but the essence of countless flowers that had been tirelessly nurtured with mana, grown in extreme conditions.

Aur started to slowly carve the pattern of a monster's mouth with long canine teeth using chalk. He also made sure to infuse his mana into it.

"Alright, now the preparation should be almost done," he said, taking the gigantic tooth out and positioning it right in front of the carved beast mouth pattern.
