Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel-Chapter 154 Brain And Will Integration

There was a reason why Zick wasn't aiming for other duke families or similar forces. He needed them to fight against the demon army, he could plunder them as much as he wanted after finishing the demon lord.

The thing which could make him move was only an item or potion that could increase his strength and potential.

Opening his eyes, Zick found himself in the middle of a familiar barren land. A table with an umbrella entered his sight, the magic caste by Levienel was still working — hiding this teleportation circle and the table.

After finding nothing wrong, Zick sat on the chair of the table, the cat jumped off his shoulder and sat on the white table.

"How exactly did you make that immortal girl an ally?" The cat felt curiosity toward this question; it had never seen Levienel ever work with others on any of the occasions it met her in the past.

"We made a deal, I promised her that I will kill her and in return, she had to help me kill the demon lord," Zick said while looking at the dragon eye in his space ring.

"Thought as much, but really what happened to you? How did you become a dragon slayer all of a sudden...." The cat asked in a matter-of-fact voice.

A sharp light passed by Zick's pupil which was deeply hidden. The cat's words were a little surprising but he had already expected: 'It could probably sense nature's characteristics in my mana.'

"I was just a little fortunate that's all, I found a piece of ice dragon's heart." Zick didn't provide any further information.

Actually, even if Zick didn't say ice dragon, the cat had already speculated that after sensing the cold energy all over Zick's body.

"Dragon heart?!" The cat was stuck motionless. It started speaking hurriedly: "Do you know how rare it is to find a dragon heart? It is like finding a needle in the ocean!"

"Hmm, that's so?" Zick probed for more information.

"To the dragon, their heart is very important and is deeply connected to their life. If they die, their heart vanishes too, only when they leave it behind by their own will could it stay behind in this world." The cat seems to be agitated while saying this, there was visible shock present in its eyes.

"I see, so that's how it is," Zick revealed an enlightened expression: 'The dragon lord left behind his heart for its egg so that's that too.'

With his dragon slayer status known by the other party, Zick didn't hesitate. The brown pupil dragon eye appeared above Zick's palm.

Seeing this the cat understood Zick's intention even without him saying a thing. It had a very deep knowledge about the dragon slayers.

The cat thought: 'After all, at one point in history, the dragon slayer race prospered to an unbelievable level before swiftly being killed by the dragons...'

Not saying anything, Zick made the dragon's eyes float above his palm. The eye was the same size as his whole face and nature's characteristic-filled aura around it made it look even more apprehensive.

Controlling the dragon eye, Zick brought it near his mouth, before taking a bite from it. Crimson blood leaked out of the place he took a bite but it didn't fall to the ground and floated beside the eye.

Zick gulped it down at once: 'Hmm, it's really soft, it almost melted instantly in my mouth. Though the taste can't be said to be good...' Zick was used to eating weird things, just this wasn't anything surprising.

A similar process of the dragon's heart in his body absorbing the dragon's eye. The energy from the dragon's eye was very pure, but looking at this, Zick wasn't happy.

'Why the hell is my dragon heart absorbing the dragon eye's energy?! There is no need for such a thing, it can strengthen me on its own...' Zick thought rapidly with cold sweat gathering on his face.

If it went like this, he predicted that it would be just like how he took in the snow essence for the first time. But the thing he expected didn't occur.

Zick frowned, the energy that gathered in his heart didn't start getting transmitted to the mana nerves. This wasn't how it usually went which made him confused and curious.

After a few seconds, Zick's heart started beating loudly, sending pure energy with no form of contamination in it.

At that instant Zick sensed it, his affinity with earth magic was rising as if it had become a rocket.

'So the dragon heart behaves differently when absorbing other dragon's body parts?' Zick speculated and felt the sense of crisis going away.

From this, Zick understood that his heart would absorb even the things which didn't need its assistance for strengthening him. This was important as it might have been dangerous when he took in something more potent in the future.

Zick had speculated it to only absorb things which increase potential but it seems to be wrong now.

After a few minutes, all the energy was absorbed into his body. His mana in his mana nerves looked a lot darker and threatening.

'I will probably pass the mid-peak rank if I eat the whole dragon eye. This should at least cut six months of hard work from what I predicted. I should be able to become a master swordsman in half a year!' Zick was overjoyed about this.

While Zick continued munching on the dragon eye, Levienel arrived back with a bright light upon the teleportation circle.

Looking at Zick who was busy, Levienel sat on one of the chairs too, she and the cat started conversing while Zick was absorbed in his strengthening spree.

After an hour, Zick had fully consumed the dragon eye. He has officially broken through to the mid-peak rank and his potential in the mage profession rose to peak rank!

His affinity with earth magic had also increased by a huge leap. Surpassing even his ice affinity by a little, this was surprising as it was just an old dragon eye that had already lost a lot of its energy.

In Zick's eyes, a change started appearing, his left eye's pupil shrunk at a rapid pace before it started turning dark brown. Throughout the whole process, Zick felt as if his eye was on the fire. He clenched his teeth tightly waiting for the pain to go away but it persisted for a few minutes, torturing him.

With cold sweat all over his face, Zick breathed raggedly: "What was that...?"

The cat who was sleeping all curled up looked at him: "Of course, that's what happens when a dragon slayer eats a dragon's body part. The dragon's body part eaten becomes yours permanently."

Hearing this Zick fell into silence: 'This...This new eye is just like the dragon eyes I had in the past. I can see the magic cast by Levienel along with their potential and strength.'

This came as a shock to him, but it turned into uncontrollable joy in no time.

This meant that the more dragon he ate, the more new abilities he would gain!

This prospect almost made him reconsider if he should just attack the dragon race. But this might be detrimental in the long run.

'If the dragon race refuses to fight the demon army till the end, I will make them history. Well, they would become history even if they fight the demon army anyway.' Zick thought coldly.

Zick started learning new ice and earth magic from the cat and Levienel to pass his time. He was against collecting the dragon egg, for now, carrying them around was a very messy topic. Especially when Zick's situation wasn't that good, he needed a better carriage and identity.

While learning new magic, Zick noticed the difference from before. He could affect the mana with his will very easily, he became a peak middle-rank mage at once. This might be because dragons have an immense affinity with the mana that it hears to them like a servant.

Zick wanted to integrate the ice magic and make use of it with his black ice. But outwardly, he just used magic naturally.

From Fuiren's memory, there was another discovery that Zick made that surprised him.

'The way people are walking in the mage profession is wrong! This might also be the reason why no archmage appeared in decades.'

'There is a different method to walk in the mage profession...'

Zick had already asked Levienel and she knew this method too. She gave additional information about it.

With a lot of time in his hand, Zick began preparing to use the process to create a mana nerve using his 'will' in his head!

This process was very complex and hard, he had to make nerves from his 'will' connect to specific parts of his brain. A little mashup could lead to a dangerous injury, which might even take his life.

After taking a stamina potion and meditating for a while, Zick opened his heterogeneous eyes.

The cat warned from above the table: "You will only get a single chance to perform the mind and will integration. Be careful not to mess up and kill yourself human."

Levienel just nodded her head and looked at him blankly.

Zick closes his eyes again not saying anything, he took out dozens of healing and stamina potions and kept them in front of him.

'Let's start then.'
