[Teen Wolf : A Chimera Rising—Chapter 65]

[—Wild Magic Core[SS] - The Wild Magic Core is the spark of all supernatural creatures ascent, in this small metaphysical core is where all creatures draw their beastly magical lore from. The holder of the Wild Magic Core is able to tap into their wildest beastly aspect, pulling it from their depths and out into the world allowing them to break through every single barrier their kind is restricted by into their Truest State.]

Markus stared at the description of the trait and scoffed, the description brought up to him was nothing but Bologna.

It didn't truly show him the capabilities of the trait, simply flowery words that almost seemed to promise him power of some true state he doesn't know jack shit about.

Apparently all traits that broke through the S Rank were vague.

He wouldn't make the mistake of underestimating the trait though, even though he still wondered whether this was a fair trade over to what the original trait he would have got.

But that didn't matter at the end, [Origin Of Power] would show him the abilities true worth and capabilities without fail as soon as he Assimilated the traits.

So he moved on to the next reward, an item.

[—Item - Arcane Oak Saplings

—Rank - SS

—Description - Arcane Oak Saplings are one of the most coveted resources of a magic user. Their roots, bark, leaves and even their fruits when fully matured brimming with pure magic that permeates throughout the lands. Arcane Oak brings fortune to those around it, drawing magical life towards it while blessing the land with magical Artifacts at its maturity.

—Effect ¹ ~ Due to its bonded nature to Markus McCall, most of the effects of the Arcane Oak tree will be centred around them.

Effect ² ~ Increases magical resources growing up around its increasing fields by 500%.

Effect ³ ~ Increases the mana saturation of the area around it, said area will keep expanding so long as the tree grows.

Effect ⁴ ~ So long as Markus McCall is in the area of the Trees Saturation, they will obtain a +800% boost to mana regeneration.

Effect ⁵ ~ The Arcane Oak Trees material such as bark, leaves and fruits are divine level reagents and crafting material and may allow a few people to pick from it, but if stolen and harvested with its permission the offender will be cursed. For Markus McCall they are able to pick anything from the tree with no restrictions.]

Markus stared at the description of the sapling, then at its effects and immediately his mind was made up.

This was gonna be the new Nematon, by fire or blood if it had to be.

He didn't know what he'd need to do it order for the Arcane Oak tree to be recognised by the Entity he made a deal with but he'd do it.

The Arcane Oak tree already seemed to have most of the properties of the original Nematon if not better.

His mind was going through plan after plan, some were viable and some weren't but at the end he had some ideas of where to start.

[Source Comprehension] would allow him to immediately comprehend the nature of the sapling and the Nematon once he found it.

[Aura Decryption] would then fill in on copying whatever made the Nematon the Nematon.

But for that plan to be viable he needed two things, a ridiculous amount of [Mana] due to the probable changes he'd need to do.

Then a high enough [Mind] to handle the strain that using [Source Comprehension] in tandem with [Aura Decryption] would ensue on him.

Already he was quite happy at the updated rewards he obtained but the minute he read through the Trait that came next he froze, annoyance and a bit of anger bubbling up inside him.

[—Boundless Love[A] - You exhude a feeling of boundless love, a whispering love that makes all those interested in you to feel your unwavering and boundless love. This makes it so that woman who are interested in you are able to put aside their morals to have you, even making them more susceptible to sharing you and even helping other woman to become yours.]

Markus felt his eye twitch when he saw that trait.

“ Oh god...” He grumbled.

He felt like his system as of late was really gunning for him to get into sexual relations with everyone he met.

The traits he had been getting lately were really ridiculous but he nonetheless would take the trait, he had no choice in the matter anyway.

Plus it wasn't even as if the trait wasn't beneficial, actually it was the opposite.

After all, with his goals being achieved, being a Chimera and all, he was due some relief.

And hopefully this trait would do well to help him in getting with some of the woman in this world.

And of course he wouldn't mind ridding his brother of his love interests, heck with the traits he obtained he might as well steal everyone he so much as looked at with love.

‘ Cucking him would be a mercy, well before I put him out of his misery.’ He thought not at all that perturbed about the prospect of murdering his brother.

He probably wouldn't do it, Scott was a bitch and he deserved some suffering for the shit he put him through but he hadn't done anything that deserving of death yet.

But abandoning their mother to go off and play werewolf was a close sin to him to just end him.

But that would be hypocritical of him, as he did the same.

Even if he had done so for his continued survival and freedom to pursue his goals, he still abandoned her.

But unlike him, Scott gratefully left her to wallow and depression over his disappearance.

The more he thought about it the more he wanted to bash Scotts head in.

‘ Deep breaths, Markus. You'll have your chance.’ He thought calming himself down before moving on to the last reward.

“ Holy fuck those effects are overpowered and exactly what I need!” Markus exclaimed, his eyes fixated on the solution to one of his problems.
