《A Wizard’s Secret》A Wizard's Secret

The Blood-eye Dragon's will would definitely not allow any other almighty beast's will to approach its "territory" or domain. Moreover, Merlin's Awareness was the "territory" of the Blood-eye Dragon's will.
As it was about to expel the Two-tailed Mamba's will, a colossal will immediately descended. Before this mighty will, the Blood-eye Dragon's will could not resist it at all.
"Great Master!"
When it sensed this will, the Blood-eye Dragon appeared endlessly fearful. It understood rather well this powerful master it had parasitized; who possessed the terrifying capability of defeating its will. Now, just this presence alone made it incomparably frightened.
The Blood-eye Dragon even wondered if Merlin was a sacred beast. Otherwise, even a top-tier almighty beast's will would not have such a fearsome dominance.
"Blood-eye Dragon, as your master, I need you to merge with more almighty beast's will!"
Merlin's tone left no room for questioning which caused the Blood-eye Dragon to feel appalled yet unable to talk balk. Any slight carelessness during the merging of the almighty beasts' will had the potential to completely destroy the Blood-eye Dragon's will.
Nonetheless, Merlin had already made up his mind. Naturally, he would not allow the Blood-eye Dragon to object. Following that, the Two-tailed Mamba still had not figured out what was happening when it felt an irresistible strength that had immediately mixed it with the Blood-eye Dragon's will.
"Roar…"
The Blood-eye Dragon let out a pitiful cry. Merging with an almighty beast's will was not that simple. Furthermore, Merlin was forcibly fusing. If he did not, the two almighty beast's will would be crushed at once.
As the two different almighty beast's will merged continuously, Merlin was consciously using the Blood-eye Dragon's will as the primary will, allowing the Two-tailed Mamba's will to be thoroughly fused into the Blood-eye Dragon's will.
In his Awareness, the Blood-eye Dragon's will was snarling incessantly, as if it was enduring extreme agony, but with the suppression from Merlin's Illusory World, there was no point. No matter how much the will of both were in conflict, they could only slowly merge together.

After a few hours, the Blood-eye Dragon's cries gradually died down. The Two-tailed Mamba's will had already vanished. In the entire Awareness, only the Blood-eye Dragon's will was left.
"Blood-eye Dragon, how do you feel?" Merlin asked eagerly.
"Feel?"
The Blood-eye Dragon carefully sensed itself over, then shook its head. "It seems like there's no obvious feeling. Perhaps it's only a low-tier almighty beast's will, so it's too weak?"
Merlin fell into silent contemplation. This seemed to be the reason. Even so, this experiment of his indicated that he could fuse almighty beasts' will together, and there were many more almighty beasts' will in the Bead of Infamy.
With this in mind, Merlin sent his consciousness into the Bead of Infamy. In the first layer subspace, there were low-tier almighty beasts' will everywhere, a great number of them.
"Devour!"
It was as if Merlin had turned into a gigantic mouth, endlessly and wildly swallowing the low-tier almighty beasts' will within the first layer subspace. One after another, each almighty beast's will was swiftly absorbed into Merlin's Awareness then forcefully suppressed by the Illusory World.
"Buzz buzz buzz."
The almighty beasts' will were frantically and forcibly fused into the Blood-eye Dragon's will. At first, the Blood-eye Dragon's will did not undergo any changes, but gradually, as one after another almighty beast's will was merged, the Blood-eye Dragon clearly felt that its own will became stronger.
The most direct effect of this strengthening of its will was its physical augmentation.
"Shapeshift!"
Merlin summoned this thought. He had already fused all of the low-tier almighty beasts' will within the first layer subspace of the Bead of Infamy into the Blood-eye Dragon's will. Now he displayed the might of his shapeshifted body.
"Boom."
After Merlin had undergone a full-shift, his body was sturdily built up by a large amount. Moreover, the bulk of his full-shift seemed to faintly contain a layer of solid, crimson armor. His physical attributes had been improved twice over at least.

Improving his physical attributes twice over would be inconceivable to any other contender with a full-shifting bloodline who learned about this. This was because once a contender with an almighty beast bloodline reached the full-shift, their physical attributes could not be upgraded no matter what. Thus, they focused their efforts on improving their Supreme Talent.
However, now that Merlin had merged with the almighty beast's will, he could further improve the full-shifted Blood-eye Dragon's physical attributes. It was really unbelievable.
"Perhaps this is a path unique to Hosts. They don't necessarily have to improve their Supreme Talent!"
Merlin's eyes brightened. If he could use this method of merging almighty beasts' will to constantly and continuously enhance the Blood-eye Dragon's physical attributes, he might actually be able to break through the limits of the Blood-eye Dragon at last, and its high-tier almighty beast bloodline itself.
"There's still the second layer subspace. Everything in there is a mid-tier almighty beast's will!"
Merlin was somewhat eager and impatient. Mid-tier almighty beasts' will were much stronger than low-tier ones. One of the former is comparable to ten or even dozens of the latter. In truth, the mid-tier almighty beasts' will in the second layer subspace was the primary force of the Bead of Infamy.
"Devour!"
Merlin did not hesitate at all and started devouring these mid-tier almighty beasts' will immediately. This was different from when he swallowed the low-tier almighty beasts' will. Each time he swallowed a mid-tier one, the Blood-eye Dragon appeared to be in abnormal anguish, and its will seemed to weaken slightly.
"Mid-tier almighty beasts' will are this formidable? If I continue merging, will it still be the Blood-eye Dragon in the end?"
Merlin had some doubts.
Following that, he shapeshifted again. The Blood-eye Dragon's body had become even stronger, its attributes improved once again. Moreover, its appearance had begun to change as well.
For instance, spurs had sprouted all over its body. This was a characteristic belonging only to one of the mid-tier almighty beasts Merlin had just devoured. Moreover, a wart had emerged on that massive forehead, as if about to burst into a horn.
In addition, Merlin's eyes had been glazed over by a green glow which made his vision even clearer. This was not including other changes that were still not completely exhibited yet.
In short, the current Blood-eye Dragon seemed less and less like a Blood-eye Dragon, let alone a true Sacred Dragon. Conversely, it seemed to be assembled from countless almighty beasts and appeared somewhat out of place.
"I must be the first person to merge almighty beasts' will! I wonder what's the monster that will ultimately be born. Still, as long as I can enhance my strength, that's nothing…"
Merlin carefully inspected his body. Indeed, there was nothing that felt unwell to him. Nevertheless, it was clear to see that his body had become more formidable.
As long as his strength was improved and there were no drawbacks, that was enough. Therefore, Merlin harbored no reservations and continued devouring the almighty beasts' will within the Bead of Infamy.
Not even Merlin himself knew what kind of terrifying creature would be born after he merged all these almighty beasts' will. Perhaps it would be a historically unprecedented, powerful almighty beast?
