After Darwin finished speaking, the scene fell into a dead silence once again.
Taking over without physical contact, relying solely on imagination?
Imaginary Take Over... is it??
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe such magic existed in this world!
Just when everyone thought Darwin's magic was already preposterous enough, he spoke words that shocked them yet again.
"It's not just 'Tenrou' either; I feel like I can take over many things!"
Weston's heart skipped a beat: "Many? Like what?"
"Um... oh, right!"
Darwin pondered for a few moments, slapped his forehead, and said: "For example, the monsters in the stories Papa and Mama told me—Fairies, Ghosts, Pegasus, Kirin, Nine-Tailed Fox, Mermaid, Vampire, Phoenix, Tailed Beasts, Hollows... so, so many!"
"I feel like as long as I have enough magic power, I could even take over Demons, Dragons, or even Gods!"
The crowd: "??!!"
Weston: "??!!"
"Hey, hey, hey... isn't this magic a bit too much of a cheat code!!"
The guild members all started shouting in excitement.
"Darwin, can you really take over all those things you just mentioned?!"
"I can!"
"Even Demons and Dragons?"
"Probably..."
"Quick, quick, quick... Take over a Dragon and let me see! I haven't even seen what a Dragon looks like..."
"Give me a break, didn't he just say he needs enough magic power? If it's a Dragon, Darwin definitely can't do it with his current magic..."
"True... true..."
Amidst the clamor, Weston looked at Darwin with a face full of shock, his thoughts churning.
His son's magic... was simply too heaven-defying!
If he fully matured, perhaps even Zeref or Acnologia wouldn't be his match!
Could it be that my son is the true savior of the future??!
Hiss—
That doesn't seem too bad either?
Then I wouldn't have to worry about how to deal with Zeref and Acnologia myself...
While his thoughts were flying, Darwin's expression suddenly became extremely strained.
Seeing this, everyone was startled and hurriedly asked: "Darwin, what's wrong?!"
However, Darwin didn't answer. He was just straining, his face turning beet red as if his digestion wasn't smooth.
Just as Weston was about to step forward to check his condition, Darwin's body underwent another change!
Dazzling light appeared again and masked the form of Tenrou. His size began to shrink and his shape shifted; however, he didn't turn back into a human, but developed toward another form instead.
Is he re-taking over another creature?
Recognizing Darwin's intention, Precht immediately shouted to stop him: "Darwin, stop! Your magic has only just awakened, you can't be this reckless..."
"Calm down, Precht!"
"Weston?"
Precht looked at Weston, who had interrupted him, in confusion: "What are you doing? Hurry and stop Darwin! Taking over two different monsters right after awakening magic is too reckless! If things go wrong, not just his mind, but even his physical body could collapse!"
The most dangerous part of Take Over magic is that the wizard must struggle against the target's will to seize control of the body. Simultaneously, the stronger the target, the more intense their resisting will, and thus the higher the risk of the Take Over.
"It's fine, it's fine..."
"Darwin isn't an impulsive guy. He's much more cautious than you think. He won't do anything he isn't sure of!"
"Look closely, he only took over his arm this time!"
Precht froze, turned to look at Darwin, and found that the light indeed didn't cover his entire body, but only his right arm.
If one only performs a "Partial" Take Over, the risk one must face is much easier to manage.
"But even so, it's still too risky..."
Weston chuckled: "Don't worry! If he really loses control, I'll stop him immediately!"
While the two were talking, Darwin had already finished the Take Over.
This time, he retained most of his human appearance. The only change was his right arm.
That right arm had turned into the limb of some "monster." It was dark red all over, the skin as hard as steel, accompanied by sharp claws, faintly emitting a strange and dangerous aura.
Sensing this aura, Weston and Irene, who was silently watching from the side, both widened their eyes at the same time.
"This is..."
"A Dragon's arm!"
The two spoke softly, but the surrounding people still heard them clearly.
"What??"
"I think I just heard the Guild Master say the word 'Dragon,' I couldn't have misheard, right??"
"Could it be that what Darwin took over this time is actually a Dragon's arm?!"
Everyone looked at Darwin's right arm in absolute shock.
With just a glance, one could feel the terrifying aura coming from it, as if it were the King of Lions on the savanna or the Overlord of the mountains and forests.
Even for the well-traveled Precht, Yuri, and a few others, they could immediately realize that this was definitely not an aura an ordinary monster could emit!
Did Darwin really take over a Dragon's limb?
And just through imagination?!
This... this, this, this...
This kind of magical talent is practically more heaven-defying than Weston's!!
Thinking of this, the guild members rushed forward one after another, touching Darwin's monster arm up and down, back and forth, over and over again.
"Hiss—so hard!!"
"Whoa—so thick and strong!!"
"Wow—so sturdy!!"
"Is this a Dragon's limb? It's my first time seeing one!"
"I say, I say... Darwin, can you use the Dragon's abilities?"
Darwin, now the center of attention, had already adjusted his breathing. Seeing everyone asking him, he thought for a few seconds before answering: "I feel... like I can!"
Having said that, he clenched his fist tightly!
BOOM—!
A ball of blazing fire erupted from the dragon claws, and the intense heat immediately hit everyone's faces.
Everyone clearly felt the surrounding temperature rising rapidly; the moisture in the air was quickly lost, and sweat began to bead on their bodies.
"No way?! Fire?!"
"So... you not only took over the arm of an imagined Fire Dragon, but you even used its innate ability?"
The corners of Darwin's mouth almost reached his ears: "That seems to be the case!"
"Hiss—"
The scene was deathly quiet, with only the sound of people swallowing their saliva to calm their nerves.
A few seconds later, deafening cheers erupted once again!!
"Genius! An absolute genius!!!"
"This kid is practically more amazing than the Guild Master!!"
"Uh... it's not quite that exaggerated, is it?"
"How is it not? I can testify that the Guild Master definitely couldn't do something like this when he was seven! Although their magic isn't the same type..."
In an instant, the entire guild was in a state of chaotic excitement!
