Wizard: Unlimited Profession Slots Chapter 1171 - 480: Thunder and Fire

Ron hesitated no longer and immediately led the team rushing towards the northwest corner’s dragon bone relic.

Caroline’s pheromone of neglect played a crucial role in such a situation.

Although the aggregate had already noticed their presence,

that inherent "neglect effect" of the creature continued to interfere with its precise targeting.

Tentacles flailed wildly around them, but couldn’t accurately hit the target.

"Over there!"

Aselia pointed to a massive rib half-buried in the sand.

The bone was silver-white, etched with natural patterns like lightning:

"My essence is hidden on the inside of the seventh rib; unlock the seal with your Dragon tongue!"

Ron rushed to the dragon bone, placing his palm on a specific spot as directed by Aselia.

The ancient Dragon language flowed from his mouth, with every syllable carrying the force of thunder:

"Vel’tar mesh korvani!" (In the name of the bloodline, unlock the seal!)

From within the bone, faint mechanical clicking sounds echoed, as if some intricate device was being activated.

A silver crack spread out from within, revealing a precious treasure hidden inside.

It was a small mass of silver substance flowing like liquid metal, only fist-sized, but the energy density contained within was astonishingly high.

"Thunderfire Essence!"

Aselia exclaimed excitedly:

"This is the essence of my bloodline from when I was alive, containing pure dual attributes of thunder and fire!"

Ron cautiously extracted the essence, immediately feeling the terrifying power it contained.

Electric currents danced along his arm like a myriad of serpents; searing flames burned between his fingers.

Strangely, these two elements, which usually conflict, exhibited perfect harmony.

...

Unlike the chaotic monsters imagined by ordinary people, the human centipede aggregate, after its initial frenzy, began to display an unsettling rationality.

Lianna’s blood-red Mandala flower, with its central main eye, scanned the entire battlefield like a precision instrument.

Hundreds of human eyeballs turned simultaneously, collecting visual information from different angles, which she analyzed tactically within her twisted consciousness.

"Threat priority assessment underway..."

Her voice, cold and mechanical, lacked any human emotional fluctuations:

"Target one: the human Wizard undergoing Bloodline Awakening, threat level: lethal.

This individual is extracting core ritual energy and must be eliminated immediately."

"Target two: three Guards, threat level: middle.

They possess some combat capability but can be suppressed through numerical advantage."

"Target three: the injured Caroline, threat level: extremely low.

However, she has high-value modification organs and knowledge reserves; prioritize capturing for self-enhancement."

"Divide forces for maximal efficiency."

Elsewhere, Vini’s voice buzzed like a swarm of bees:

"I’ll capture the traitor; her reproductive system is the last piece we need to perfect ourselves."

The aggregate initiated the first truly meaningful "tactical division."

The central part of its massive body emitted a tooth-aching skeletal friction sound, like an ancient machine reassembling its parts.

Lianna’s plant main body — a gigantic Mandala fused with over a dozen reanimated beings — began to slowly separate from the aggregate’s main trunk.

Countless nutrient delivery tubes, resembling blood vessels, severed at the separation point, spraying a foul green liquid.

But these tubes weren’t completely severed; they extended to form hair-thin yet incredibly strong connecting fibers.

These fibers, like a neural network, maintained information transmission between the two split entities, ensuring their continued coordinated combat.

At the same time, Vini’s insect swarm underwent a mesmerizing reorganization.

Originally scattered throughout the aggregate, the swarm began gathering according to specific functional classifications.

One part maintained its aggressive form, continuing to provide combat support to the main body;

another part quietly assembled, forming a relatively small but extremely agile capture unit.

Meanwhile, Caroline curled up in the shadow of a dragon bone remnant, feeling the waves of pain brought by the control device within her.

Her abdomen had completely caved in, with countless tiny wounds left by the out-of-control parasitic wasps inside her.

Although the High Tier Healing Potion temporarily stabilized her vital signs, she knew her time was running out.

"Perhaps... this is the best ending..."

She murmured with a look of relief in her eyes.

As a modifier of the Life Tree School, she was well aware of her current state.

Even if she could return alive to the School, what awaited her would only be more brutal experiments and modifications.

Those Masters would never let go of a "failed product" who knew too many secrets.

But just as she was preparing to quietly await death, she heard a faint buzzing in the air.

That sound was incredibly faint, and if not for her hearing being enhanced by bio-modifications, she wouldn’t have noticed it.

Yet this almost undetectable anomaly instantly awakened her Wizard instincts.

"Covert approach... swarm tactics..."

Caroline immediately recognized this attack pattern, vividly familiar with Vini’s combat style.

In countless School combat trainings, she had seen how this seemingly innocuous insect mist could completely devour a target silently.

In the midst of despair, a crazy idea surfaced in her mind.

"Since I’m going to die... why not die with some value?"
