In the dazzling starry sky.

An owl with a tuft of white feathers on its head flapped its wings somewhat anxiously and flew to the foot of a date palm tree, only to transform into a girl in a black robe with a "poof" sound.

The girl took off her hood and the bright moonlight fell on her face, revealing a fair and pretty face.

She gently patted her slightly flat chest, which was only a layer of low hills, and a layer of fine sweat appeared on her fair forehead.

"Scared to death, scared to death!"

She had excellent eyesight and could discern, even though Losa had tried to restrain it, the terrifying magic-dragon-like aura still looming behind him.

The thick dark atmosphere confirmed that Sister Anna wasn't lying.

This is a high-ranking black wizard, at least at the "legendary" level. She couldn't understand why Sister Anna would involve such a dangerous person in the association.

Perhaps there was some special relationship between them?

Nishaya felt a slight suspicion, she plucked a date from the tree, chewed it like a little hamster, puffing out her cheeks.

The sweet taste bursting on her tongue made her squint slightly, revealing an expression of enjoyment: "Hah, who would have thought such delicious food could grow in this barren desert."

After a brief rest, she once again transformed into an owl with a tuft of white feathers on its head, flapping its wings.

...

Barony of Zujar, Durham Village.

The owl skimmed through the air, its nimble eyes cautiously scanning the small village spread beneath the night sky, scattered around the oasis.

The owl's night vision was excellent, and the owl transformed by the transformation technique inherited this advantage as well.

According to Sister Anna, some masters specializing in transformation techniques can even transform into a real fire dragon.

Flying, breathing fire, and possessing robust scales.

Of course, a transformation technique reaching this level would be limited to specializing in one kind of species, requiring long-term consumption of corresponding magic potions and other mediums.

For example, to transform into a giant dragon, one would need to consume large amounts of Dragon Blood Potion, and use Dragon Scales and other mediums during transformation, a very tedious process.

"Is there a familiar magic power lingering here?"

"The residual magic power is exactly like that in Constantinople."

Nishaya descended onto the treetop of a tamarisk, cautiously surveying her surroundings.

"It seems Losa wasn't lying, Ragman is here — or at least lived here for a while."

She immediately intended to communicate with Sister Anna.

But unexpectedly, or rather expectedly, something unexpected happened.

"Transformations are forbidden here!"

A cold male voice rang out.

The owl poofed and transformed back into a girl.

A dagger glowing with a light golden hue, followed by stabbing into Nishaya's abdomen.

Nishaya's face showed a trace of bewilderment.

She incredulously clutched her abdomen, feeling an unfamiliar and special power from the opened wound causing her magic power within to stagnate at an extremely rapid pace.

"How... how can you use Demon-Blocking Gold?"

She looked at the unusually tall man in front of her — at least two meters tall, strong arms easily squeezed her neck like picking up a chick, lifting her whole body.

"Of course I can use Demon-Blocking Gold."

The man let out a strange laugh, unveiling his black robe, revealing a grotesque body that looked pieced together from various human remainders.

"Naturally, because this body is just a normal person."

"I cut off a part of my soul fragment and transplanted it into this body, using no magic to control it."

Nishaya looked at the formidable sutures, terror causing her entire body to tremble. Demon-Blocking Gold suppressed her magic transmission, and her body not fortified by magic potions was as weak as before Sister Anna brought her into the association.

"See this body, it possesses the fire-spitting ability of a Spineback Dragon, the arms of a Russian Giant, the legs of a Frost Giant, its body surface also covered with Dragon Scales."

"In time of need, it can spread a pair of retractable Dragon Wings."

"Its torso comes from a strong Werewolf King — I removed all those nauseating Demon Evil Powers within, so there's no worry about erosion issues."

"I named it 'Nidhogg', hoping it would possess the terrifying power of that Ancient Black Dragon."

"Unfortunately, it's still not perfect, at least it hasn't managed to come to life yet."

"Now, what's missing is a brain to integrate all this together, a wizard's brain is best suited, and you coincidentally delivered yourself here, should I say today is really my lucky day?"

The giant, using a coarse palm, stroked Nishaya's smooth cheek.

In his eyes, however, there was not a trace of lust.

"My God, words simply cannot describe your beauty, look at these lovely eyes of yours, they're akin to a delicate masterpiece."

"I've changed my mind, not just your brain, these beautiful eyes should be transplanted onto Nidhogg as well."

Nishaya, at this moment, became gradually calm.

She coldly said: "It's unfeasible, simply piecing together limbs cannot bring a lifeless object to life; even if human transmutation were not an impossible fantasy, I dare assert, you're on a wrong path."

"Nidhogg" slightly loosened its grip, face full of appreciation said: "Wonderful, you're the first fellow willing to discuss 'human transmutation' with me."
