Chapter 4069 – Broken Legacy (Part 2)

Drakes were not fighters by nature and preferred to spend their lives researching magic. Ajatar’s bloodline legacy lacked both the fierce offensive edge of the Ry and the insights that only someone who had started from the very bottom—like Lith—could gain.

The lessons took place only after Ajatar had finished his research for the day, and the children’s steeds took part in them as well.

In the end, the Drake learned almost as much as he taught, and more importantly, he managed to feed his inquisitive mind with enough material to keep himself from obsessing over Dragonhood.

Before entering the gene tank for the second time, Ajatar removed all his notes from the Library to avoid the temptation of peeking at them as he restarted his research from scratch.

This time, I know something is wrong with my method, and my fundamental knowledge of magic has improved. I can do this, Ajatar thought as he studied his quasi-Dragon life force with Dragon Eyes.

It took him days to confirm that his initial misgivings about the atrophied mana organs adjacent to major imperfections were justified. Under strain, the mana flow strengthened by the mana organs would reach those imperfections, allowing them to develop.

The phenomenon manifested only when the mana organs were pushed to their limit, and afterward the imperfections would slowly regress to their initial state. Yet each time it happened, the grown imperfections lasted longer, and their effects spread farther across the healthy life force.
