Chapter 75 - A journey?

Rovena and Asmodeus emerged from the tower only as the evening descended. During the great battle, Asmodeus came to a realization: Rovena was stronger than him!

"Ding, host statistics:

"Bloodline: Firestorm Epic-grade Lineage - blending the blood of the Fire Nation and Airbender monks. Currently, the bloodline is activated at 50%.

Lineage: "???????" (Unknown lineage, unable to display) - 0.001% of lineage is activated. Unknown....system.....cannot.....display..... The system determines that the unknown lineage requires the infusion of other lineages for its unlocking…

Combat Power: 75, the maximum available indicator in the host's world at this stage 100.

Skills:

**Elementalization**: Enables the user to embody an elemental. The current elemental form combines fire and air elements. The user can adjust the percentage of each element. For instance, the lower body can be composed of air while the upper part is fire, enhancing mobility and combat prowess. In this state, physical attacks have no effect on the user. Fire and air magic damage increase by 20% in elementalized form. After unlocking the bloodline potential, fire and air magic consume 17% less mana.

Fire Magic: Level 100/100. Mastery of fire magic from the Avatar world.

Air Magic: Level 50/100

"Ding, Rowena Ravenclaw statistics:

Change of Form - data unknown"

This was the statistics Asmodeus observed upon touching Rovena. He marveled, realizing her lineage was self-crafted. He also understood why she appeared much younger when she drew the mana rings.

You see, a portion of the blood she seemingly incorporated is Veela Blood. These creatures live 200 years without aging, perpetually youthful. The statue didn't reflect this youthfulness because, at the moment she completed the lineage transformation, she critically lacked mana. The transformation was interrupted, causing the so-called "illness" described in magical history. However, when enough mana became available, coupled with magical rings, Rovena's self-created lineage finally activated at full power. Hence, she now looks 20-25 years old, and Asmodeus speculates she will remain so.

He is pleased with this outcome, yet both Salazar's lineage research and Rovena's transformation hint at one thing. In the Harry Potter world, purely human beings or wizards without additional lineages cannot surpass the 65-point combat power ceiling. It's as if a car with excellent aerodynamics and an engine cannot go faster due to a flawed gearbox…

Well, think about it yourself. In his lineage, there's absolutely nothing from the "Harry Potter world." So the breakthrough in combat power was smooth for him. But for Dumbledore, Nicolas, and Grindelwald, they all had to undergo transformation...

Nicolas and Grindelwald awakened their ancient lineages, while Dumbledore turned into a phoenix. In short, Asmodeus feels like he's onto something but doesn't quite know what.

Exiting the tower, Asmodeus and Rovena headed towards the dragon enclosure. Athena, not Asmodeus, sent her there; she enjoys playing with other creatures and Unbroken. Athena usually sleeps in the tower, thanks to ample space and custom-made sturdy furniture that Asmodeus doesn't worry about her damaging. Well, she usually spends the night near Asmodeus, but last night... Let's say the noise disturbs even dragons' sleep.

Approaching where Athena lay, Asmodeus said, "Athena, let's go to Hogwarts. We need to take Rovena home; she has work tomorrow."

"Roar!" Hmm, you drive. A master who doesn't let me sleep!

"Oh, come on, don't start. If you take us, I'll buy your favorite dragon pies. Deal?"

"Roar!" I am not easily bribed!

"Five pieces!"

"Roar." Get in quickly!

"Alright, Rovena, hop on Athena, hold onto me. This taxi ride cost me a fortune..."

Once seated on Athena, with Rovena gripping Asmodeus's waist, Athena roared and raced towards the tower. As Athena isn't a full dragon, flying is more strenuous for her compared to Unbroken. She can ascend and then glide to maintain altitude with fewer wing flaps, but this takes a toll on her energy. In short, this lazy dragon found a solution. With her body structure best suited for gliding rather than flying, she climbs the tower and leaps off, flapping her wings to sustain altitude. The same routine this time.

Athena clawed her way into the tower and sprinted upward, while Asmodeus repaired the damage with his wand. When they reached the top, Athena spread her paws and leaped.

Initially, as they jumped, both Rovena and Asmodeus felt a plummeting sensation, but as the wind caught Athena's wings, she began to glide steadily forward, occasionally flapping her wings.

Asmodeus usually doesn't ride Athena, but this time, he decided to show Rovena something. Elysium and Hogwarts are close, but there's an unfilled plain between them, southwest of the village of Adastra—about 5 square kilometers of perfectly level ground. Asmodeus decided to build another city on this land, more like a suburb of Adastra. Since all directions, except southwest, are surrounded by mountains, hills, or the Elysium Academy itself, he envisioned the city's growth in this direction. This way, they could gradually connect Hogwarts and Elysium by a walking route, creating the first truly new city of the era. The city will retain the name Adastra; it just becomes much more extensive.

Flying over these meadows, Asmodeus and Rovena enjoyed the view. Hogwarts was just a short distance away, maybe a kilometer, as they peacefully gazed at the castle. Until their reverie was interrupted by a massive portal appearing above Hogwarts.

"Ding, the system has detected high-density energy emanating from a nearby multiverse. A passage has opened through the black energy rift in that universe.

Ding, the passage will close in 5 minutes. We recommend the host to traverse through the passage; the host can freely travel across universes and may find ways to further enhance their own world."

"Oh, really! I don't even know where the portal leads and what kind of world is on the other side. Besides, how can you be sure there's air on the other side!" Asmodeus didn't show any sign to Rovena, who was staring at the portal with surprise, while he conversed with the system in his mind.

"The host can return to the original world at any time for 10,000 points. You are not risking anything. The system strongly recommends heading towards the portal; you may discover means to strengthen your own world as well as potentially find an allied world."

"Oh, you're ******* kidding me! Fine, let's fly first and see what's happening in Hogwarts."

When Asmodeus was about to command Athena to descend as quickly as possible, Fawkes appeared near him with a burst of flames.

"Chirp, chirp!!!"

Before Asmodeus could say anything, he and Rovena had already appeared in Hogwarts right under the portal.

"Oh, praise Merlin, you're here, Asmodeus! Albus and Gellert were in the North Tower discussing something about a magic amplifier, but then this portal appeared, and it sucked them in!"

Professor McGonagall stammered as she explained what had happened, "Damn it, it seems I'll have to go after them. Alright, Rovena, Elysium remains under your command. Professor McGonagall, tell Nicolas to..."

Just as Asmodeus was about to ask McGonagall to convey instructions to Nicolas, Fawkes appeared before them again, holding Nicolas in his talons.

"Not so fast, Asmodeus! I'm coming with you!"

"No, we don't know what kind of environment is there. More people mean more problems!"

"I'm not asking you! They're my friends, as well as yours, and my alchemy might come in handy in this unknown place!"

Saying this, flames ignited from Nicolas's boots, and he soared upward. It was an invention of the old man to mimic Asmodeus's flight.

"Damn it, McGonagall, Rowena, you heard me!"

Asmodeus shouted as he followed the old man into the portal.
