Supreme Magus novel Chapter 2922

Chapter 2922 Family Lab (Part 2)

Yet unlike the Hydras, the Divine Beasts always kept a human appearance to not intimidate the members of smaller races.

'Now that I think about it, I've never seen Surtr or Rethia in their true form.' Solus thought and Lith telepathically nodded.

"Welcome to the family lab. Or did you really think that I could work on the Harmonizers and the secret behind Ufyl's evolution by myself?" Faluel replied. "This kind of work requires a group effort or it would take me centuries to see any progress in my research."

Despite their stumpy four-legged bodies, the Hydras moved with enough grace to never get close enough to the newcomers and risk stepping on them. Yet between the rush of their movements and the tails whipping around, Solus felt like an ant in the middle of a road.

"Is this what you wanted to show me?" Lith asked.

"Yes and no. Assume your Tiamat form and follow me or it's going to take us all day to reach our destination. Necks!" Upon her warning, the nearby Hydras made space for her to avoid bumping and shoving each other as she grew in size.

"Necks!" Lith followed her lead, but his transformation drew many eyes and caused many gasps.

Not only did he reach 30 meters (100') in height, the mark of a true Divine Beast, but he also had arms, wings, and the heat of the mystical flames burning within him reddened the tip of his scales.

It was everything that the species belonging to the Lesser Dragons dreamed of.

Wyverns had Origin Flames and wings, making them the closest to their progenitor among the Lesser Dragons. Yet the lack of arms limited their combat prowess while not having the Dragon Eyes impaired their magical development.

The seven heads that every Hydra could reach by mastering the elements and Domination made up for the lack of Dragon Eyes whereas missing prehensile limbs and Origin Flames limited their Forgemastery skills

In the same way, the lack of wings reduced the Hydras' aerial maneuverability. Body Sculpting could fix some of those issues but the necessary alterations to their life forces stunted the growth of a Hydra if kept for too long.

"Man, they shrink so fast." Lith patted the nearest of Faluel's heads, ruffling her scales. "It seems yesterday that you towered over me and now you are as short as Solus."

"Not funny!" Both women snorted in unison, even though the comparison was quite accurate.

The Hydra now barely reached the Tiamat's chest, just like Solus did to Lith's human form.

"Follow me, smartass." Faluel led the way while Lith lifted Solus on his shoulder.

From that height, they could both take a better look at the lab and see their destination.

A white array formed a white pillar that reached the ceiling and contained the winged form of Ufyl the Seven-Headed Dragon, formerly known as Ufyl the Hydra.

One of his long necks was outside the magic circle, breathing Origin Flames inside crystal containers for the others to use.

The remaining six heads used their Dragon Eyes to study the readings of the arrays, help the other Hydras in their respective lines of research, and try to crack the secrets of the Harmonizer.

It was because of his bloodline abilities rather than his sincere remorse that Fyrwal had accepted Ufyl's surrender at the end of the War of the Griffons.

"I'm Xubari, head of light magic studies." The Hydra was 23 meters (75') tall and, based on the deep tone of the hissing voice, he was a male. "It's an honor to meet you." _{freēwebnovel.com}
