"The Bloodline of the Behemoth..."
"This type of Orc was originally a powerful race within the Osis Plane, capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards with ease.
In ancient times, they even preyed on large creatures such as sub-dragons or mammoths.
After the rise and evolution of the Osis Orcs, a portion of the Behemoth Bloodline integrated into the Orc warriors, awakening alongside abilities like Berserk.
This ultimately led to the birth of the Golden Behemoth, which also became the source of power for the Behemoth God Behemoth, who later ascended to divinity!
Its signature ability is the powerful force similar to the crimson Combat Aura seen earlier.
The difference is that when the bloodline power is fully unleashed, it takes on a golden hue.
It seems that the Orc leader's cultivation was insufficient, not reaching the level of a first-tier Wizard Physique.
Otherwise, in that battle...
Even I would have had a hard time winning!"
...
January 9th.
In the Alchemy Room of the Tata Mountains quarry.
Roy continued to study the materials, delving into the details of the Behemoth Bloodline and the Golden Behemoth.
According to the intelligence and records, the Golden Behemoth warriors are the most precious and powerful elite troops in the Osis Plane... bar none!
Even in high-magic-level Plane Battlefields, they are quite renowned.
What they rely on is this special ability that far surpasses ordinary melee professions.
However, due to the extremely harsh conditions required for awakening, and after the bloodline fusion, it gradually integrated into the entire Orc world.
What remains widely known is only the superficial aspect of Berserk.
"A newly advanced first-tier Wizard has a Mental Strength of around 10 degrees, and when leveraging a first-tier Source of Magic with a multiplier of 400%, the spell potency is only about 40 degrees.
Even with my current Mental Strength, the spell potency is only around 100 degrees...
This still requires the use of Golem Automata or Animated Objects like the Star Iron Chain Spear...
Such spells are inherently more suited to the realm of production and creation rather than combat.
Especially in terms of direct destructive power, they are far from comparable to those evocation spells.
But if I successfully master this bloodline, my physical strength could reach at least several tens to a hundred degrees!
And that's just the constant, inherent strength of the body...
The awakened bloodline and the Berserk state haven't even been factored in yet!
That would be at the second-tier, or even third-tier level!"
As Roy continued to delve deeper, his desire for this bloodline ability grew stronger.
"It's almost certain that the bloodline enhancement of the new body will develop in this direction.
As for the mental imprint, I'll isolate it using the method provided by my teacher.
At first glance, it seems very advanced, but in reality, it's just a simple virtual machine.
Creating a dedicated area within my soul and brain to run a 'subsystem'..."
The theoretical aspects became increasingly clear, and all the pieces fell into place.
...
Unconsciously, the night passed.
The time arrived at the morning of January 10th.
At this moment, in the quarry.
Sam, the newcomer, joined the patrol system and began standing guard with the others.
Roy had Andov, whom he trusted, guide Sam to familiarize him with the various areas. After two or three days, Sam had a general understanding of the situation here.
"Although Lord Roy is only a newly promoted Wizard, his rapid development suggests that his chances of advancing to the second level are not small!"
"Is that so?" Andov was slightly surprised. Advancing to the second level seemed too distant, and they hadn't really thought much about it.
"Trust my judgment. I've seen several Wizards, and I can clearly sense that Lord Roy is different from them.
Moreover, all of you have advanced to senior apprentices and possess such enhanced abilities...
This is a configuration that only a mature Wizard would have!"
Blood Mercury was originally a component of Zabil Magic Metal for first-level Wizards and above. Roy was able to provide this even during his apprenticeship, and after his promotion, he equipped everyone with it.
This is indeed commendable.
Andov and the others had enjoyed this convenience from the start, but they hadn't realized how powerful it appeared in the eyes of others.
"If there's a chance, help me get some Blood Mercury to enhance my Blood Mercury Warlock Body..."
Sam spoke with a hint of envy.
Switching sides was out of the question.
But taking advantage of mission opportunities to gather more of the local specialties...
Suddenly, the two noticed that the "Blade Mantis Insectoids" guarding them were showing signs of extreme unease.
These insectoids were natural warriors, not only possessing formidable close combat skills but also a keen sense of perception.
Sam, with his rich experience, reacted instantly: "They've detected traces of strangers!"

"The area has long been declared off-limits, so no ordinary person would wander in...
This is bad, it must be enemies!"
They exchanged glances, seeing surprise and vigilance in each other's eyes.
Then, they hurried back.
Their patrol area didn't extend beyond the quarry, staying near the outer corridor.
The high tower not far away had someone on duty keeping watch.
But no alarm had been raised.
This could be the effect of some stealth spell.
The immediate task was to follow the clues and determine if enemies had indeed infiltrated.
...
Meanwhile, at the end of the outer corridor.
Edwin, clad in Moon White Robes, wearing a noble's circlet, and holding a cedar staff, gradually revealed himself.
He walked with the calm demeanor of a noble inspecting his territory, stepping confidently through the buildings of the Tata Mountains quarry.
The stone slabs beneath his feet and the surrounding statues seemed to be in a trance.
They appeared to be bewitched by some special means, failing to recognize the intruder.
Moments later, a dark-skinned, scantily clad Dark Elf emerged, smiling at him.
"Lord Edwin, you've finally arrived."
Edwin said, "Planche, you've worked hard this time.
Having been undercover here for so long, gathering intelligence, the first credit undoubtedly goes to you!"
Planche, upon hearing this, was nonchalant: "Just a rookie Wizard, even though he's been promoted, he still seems quite green!"
Edwin said, "Alright, take me to him."
Planche nodded: "At this time, he should be busy in the Alchemy Room."
Then, she drew two long, sharp daggers from somewhere, holding them firmly, and with a slight crouch, she swiftly moved towards the Alchemy Room in a stealthy posture.
The path she chose was extremely clever, allowing her to swiftly avoid areas like the carving room, outer corridors, and various squares where other apprentices might frequently gather. She quickly made her way to where Roy was.
Finally, she spotted Atedia standing guard at the entrance.
"Who's there?"
Atedia demanded sharply, her gaze snapping toward the newcomer.
In the adjacent room, Celine, who was in poor health and looked extremely pale, was startled by the commotion and dragged herself out to investigate.
