"What?"
Hiruko looked at the golden giant bird whose size was no less than his chimera. His previous feather attack had been effortlessly resolved by the other.
The giant bird landed, transforming nimbly into human form. Karin and the imposing Hiruko exchanged glances, with no trace of fear in her eyes.
‘A Transformation Jutsu? Like the Inuzuka Clan's? Or something else?’
Seeing a giant bird transform into human form, Hiruko's research desire surfaced again.

Under the influence of magic, a plume of deep blue smoke rose from the cauldron.
After the smoke dissipated, the cauldron was left more than half full of a blue liquid.
"It seems to have produced considerably more than expected... Let's first test the efficacy of this potion."
Severus paid no attention to Ghost Snape within him. He muttered to himself, then picked up a piece of parchment from the desk, tapped it with his wand, and used Transfiguration to turn it into a teacu...

The underground was home to too many cold-blooded, terrifying creatures, with deadly dangers lurking everywhere.
The site where the Slu Tribe had battled the Bone Lizards was soon cleared out. Even the blood seeped into the rocky ground was sucked dry by some kind of mobile plant.
The countless corpses and traces left nothing behind, as if nothing had ever happened there.

The underground caves seemed carved out by an endless torrent of water, with terrain that was ...

Among the branches of the Bone Race, there were many different creatures. Their commonality was their hard, well-developed skeletons.
Creatures like the Bone Lizards were relatively manageable, as the bone coverage on their bodies wasn't complete.
Upon closer observation, one would notice many gaps in the bone exterior of the Bone Lizards.
Apart from their skeletal structure, another common trait was their scarcity of meat.
Setting aside the hardness of the Bone Lizard...

"This is... my new power?"
Ten minutes later, Kurenai opened her small hand.
Instantly, an uncontrollable power surged from within her body.
Her entire arm emitted a ‘whooshing’ sound of wind, blowing the slightly curled black hair behind Kurenai's head upright.
"Whoa!"
Kurenai exclaimed in surprise.
The next second, her petite body flew backwards uncontrollably, about to fall into the sea outside the ship's railing.
Seeing this, Konan suddenly ra...

Wizard magic doesn't advance through archaeology.
With the continuous evolution of wizarding society, and the ongoing development of magic, spells, alchemy, and potions by individuals or organizations, the magical means mastered by modern wizards are certainly more advanced, refined, and suitable than those of ancient wizards.
A classic spell example is the Unlocking Charm.

Now, among the chaotic pile of bodies, there was actually a human corpse.
This discovery made them selectively ignore the silkworm-like corpses, their eyes fixed on the lone human body.
The corpse had a horrific lacerated wound on its back, even the spine severed. From their preliminary judgement, it...
