Chapter 370: Nailisi’s third ability (Part 2)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Nailisi slept for one week straight . On the Myers mainland, a week had six days . These six days represented the six elements, set in a cycle . The Holy See tried to disseminate the concept in the code by changing a week to seven days . Most people on the mainland opposed it, hence only the Glorious Plains adopted such a practice .
Every day, the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat would travel for eighteen hours at a speed of forty miles an hour, and six hours at a speed of sixty miles an hour . Consequently, the ship traveled over one-thousand miles daily . Nailisi slept for six days, and by then, the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat had arrived at the periphery of the Frozen Sea .
As the ship navigated underwater, it did not meet with much peril . Floating ice also did not pose a threat to it . Most sea magic beasts could not do much damage to the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat . Only some tabby dolphins, which measured about twenty meters in length, trailed the alchemy boat out of curiosity .
A tabby dolphin possessed a high level of intelligence . They could recognize a pan turtle, but they had never seen one who could swim without extending its limbs and tail . These grade-7 and above magic beasts followed the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat . They followed it for over one-thousand miles, it seemed like they did not have the concept of territory .
Originally, Saleen was a little concerned . He finally attained peace of mind when he saw that those tabby dolphins had chased away a sawtooth shark which tried to assault the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat . The ocean was not just fraught with dangers, there were many interesting things as well .
On this journey, besides monitoring Nailisi's condition, Saleen also provided lessons for the five low grade mages . From time to time, Banchajanna would be deployed to help Saleen collect biological samples of the creatures on this route .
The farther north Saleen traveled, the more unique the samples got . These sea magic beasts could barely be identified from the illustrations . The most dangerous incident occurred when the alchemical boat floated up to the water surface to travel at high speed . It was assaulted by a jellyfish . The immense mental strength of the jellyfish actually managed to destroy the defenses of the alchemy ship . It almost killed Irene and the low grade mages .
When the tabby dolphins who were trailing the alchemy ship left, there was no choice but to deploy the twenty-four bonefish which carried the bloodstones . The jellyfish was injured by an explosion, and the alchemical boat immediately fled at a speed of more than eighty miles an hour .
For a surface warship, eighty miles an hour was not considered its maximum speed . To the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat, whose shape was not suitable for high speed travel, it needed to consume three times the amount of magic nuclei in order to attain such a speed .
Saleen finally witnessed the might of the creatures in the Frozen Sea . He lowered the alchemical boat's speed, traveling safely underwater . Without using magic as a source of power, the Pan's Turtle alchemical boat would hardly attract the attention of other magic beasts .
Saleen obtained some tentacles from the jellyfish during that battle . He realized that the tentacles could be used to produce a potent anesthetic agent . A jellyfish did not prefer eating dead creatures, so this anesthetic agent would not kill anyone . It was something suitable for invasive surgery . Since the Chunlin Spell was a level-4 spell, it possessed strong treatment effects, but not everyone had the chance to enjoy it . On the battlefield, injured troops still relied largely on spells by a magic disciple for treatment .
At that moment, Saleen cultivated a habit of writing magic notes . All the strange creatures he met along the way were recorded down .
On the sixth day, Nailisi woke up when the alchemical boat arrived at the periphery of the Frozen Sea . In this deep slumber, she did not revert to her original form . Since her degree of evolution had been greatly elevated, Nailisi had already broken out of the category of a normal summoned creature according to human standards .
"Master?"
Nailisi was astounded to find Saleen by her side . Following that, she realized that their soul contract was firmer, so Saleen could foresee when she would wake up .
"Another evolution?" Saleen asked with much anticipation .
"Nope . " After a round of spirit cleansing, Nailisi was ready to disclose the truth to Saleen . "Master, actually I have acquired a new ability . "
"That means your bloodline is truly special . "
Noticing that Saleen did not probe about the things concealed from him, Nailisi was assured, then she replied, "I can acquire eight types of abilities, but I will need to employ special methods to get them . In the beginning, I obtained the strength of the tiago . One day, my strength will be as massive as that of a dragon . The second ability is the power of the lightning dragon, whereby I will be immune to magic . This time around, the third ability is… I…" Nailisi stuttered .
"What is the ability?" Saleen was jubilant, he did not know that Nailisi's bloodline was so unique .
"I can become human . It's not the power from the Ultimate Shapeshifting Skill, I can become an authentic human . When I am in the form of a human, I will lose my demonic abilities though . "
"Ah? What benefits does this bring?" Saleen was a little disappointed after learning about Nailisi's third ability .
"This is a shapeshifting skill, and just like a spell, I can transform instantly . "
Saleen groaned as he immediately understood the significance of this ability . As Nailisi had a demonic bloodline and was an imp, she could neither practice magic nor the Sword Aura . Once she became human, her body structure would be no different from that of other humans . It was not just her appearance which would undergo the transformation .
In other words, Nailisi could begin learning magic or the Sword Aura from now on . To other races, this ability might be meaningless . Nailisi enjoyed longevity, and if she picked up magic, she could definitely become a grade-9 sorcerer . She just needed time . A human's life would at most be one-hundred and twenty years old without any training . Nailisi's life could possibly be longer than that of a spirit king if she did not meet with any harm .
Noticing that Saleen understood her point, Nailisi laughed and said, "Master, what do you want me to learn?"
While in human form, Nailisi could only select one path . It was either magic or the Sword Aura . These two were not mutually exclusive, but once the magic chords were formed, it would basically be impossible to learn the Sword Aura . Even if one did it, they would never reach the standard of a grand swordmaster .
A mage like Lex, who was so qualified, only trained her body to the standard of a beginner swordmaster . If she continued training, there was no point other than wasting her own time .
"You shall learn magic first . " Saleen realized that Nailisi could release scrolls . She had no control over a scroll at all, however . She could only release it using conventional methods, which was too wasteful .
"Master, I want to learn swordsmanship . "
"Swordsmanship?"
"Yes, I don't need the Sword Aura because I possess sufficient strength . It wouldn't affect the learning of magic . "
"If you have the time…"
"Master, I might as well devour Jola . "
"No way!" Saleen was startled . As the three kings were unreliable, Jola was a powerful force beside Saleen currently .
"Heh, Master, I was just joking . Jola is an interesting fellow, I can learn swordsmanship from him . "
Saleen gazed at Nailisi dubiously, as he thought, "I am afraid you have noticed that Jola is lustful . The moment he tries to take advantage of you during the swordsmanship lesson, you will thus have a reason to eat him right?"
"Is your ability limited by time?" Saleen declined to comment further . If Nailisi wanted to learn swordsmanship, Jola would make a good mentor . At best, Saleen could warn him beforehand .
"Yes, every transformation will last for a day . Then I will need to rest for three days before the next transformation . "
"Then you won't have an advantage in the practice of magic anymore . "
"Not exactly true . I can learn the fundamental knowledge while in the demonic form, then train the magic chords while I am in the human form . "
"So you will be human in the future?"
"No . " Nailisi sighed . "It would be great if I could really become human, Master would not be so repulsed by me and mess around with Sika . Damn Sika, fancy kicking me out of the room . Once I learn magic and swordsmanship, she will not be my match .
As Nailisi thought of that, her green eyes curved into an evil smile .
"Master, while I was asleep the past few days, how many rounds have you and Sika completed?" Nailisi suddenly asked .
Saleen's face became scarlet, he was at a loss of how to respond . The past few days when they were together, most of the time was spent on helping Sika familiarize with that half spell on the arm ring . Both parties practiced using actual combat in the room . Sika was immersed in the thrill of controlling the half spell, and did not have much physical contact with Saleen .
"You… are still a demon at the end of the day," Saleen sighed .
"What's so bad about a demon? A demon can also bear children for humans," Nailisi said indignantly as she pouted her lips .
Saleen recalled how Nailisi originally looked . This sent chills down his spine and he trembled . He acknowledged the spiritual relationship, but physically, he was very repulsed towards a non-human race . "If a human can be with a demon, does it mean that they could also be with a spirit? What about giants? Or the mythical midgets? There are still the centaurs, snakemen, dwarfs…"
The more Saleen pondered, the more disgusted he got . Then he left the room with a glum expression .
Nailisi followed behind Saleen, the corners of her mouth arched upwards, and she laughed secretly . "Humph, was this a mental barrier like mentioned in the books? If there is a chance, I must steal a kiss from Master . When that time comes, I will just seduce Master, then he can't deny me, right? By killing Master, I will receive a backlash on the soul . If I seduce him, there shouldn't be a problem, right?"
In the front cabin, Irene acted as the navigator for the winged skeleton . The symbols on the magic compass were fully revealed already . As the alchemical boat was approaching the destination, Irene got a little jittery .
"Soldier, stop the ship and take a break . " Saleen came to the front cabin and interacted with Irene . The five low grade mages were led to there by Saleen himself, and everyone sat down at the table . Consciously, Jola went to prepare the food .
Saleen regretted not bringing more people along . He felt bad making a grand swordmaster cook .
He could not possibly let Irene or Aini do it, they were both his partners nominally . People might not be able to stomach Sika's food . As for Nailisi? She might poison the food just for the fun of it .
At this moment, Saleen dearly missed the lifestyle mages serving Lex . Those mages could produce delicacies, and they did so using magic . On one hand, food cravings were satisfied, and on the other, they trained in an extraordinary way .
Inhaling deeply, Saleen cleared his mind of all those distractions, then said, "Irene, the hunting ground is up ahead . Please share your experiences with us, and the points to be noted . "
