The gigantic black bat in the sky glared coldly at Merlin.
"That idiot Orsato. Did he think I won't see through his purpose in luring you here? D*mn that fool. Since you're Count Stanwin's son, barging into Boulder City again is a display of contempt toward me! I'm more curious about the Blood-eye Dragon's will you've merged with. I wonder how you suppress it?"
Blackbat's words caused Merlin to reappraise this powerful existence who was a full-shifter. Any full-shifting existence, even if they shifted into a low-tier almighty beast, was very powerful.
This was because only through a full-shift, one could unleash the complete strength contained within the bloodline. Without achieving a full-shift, the bloodline's power that was unleashed would not even be a tenth of the full amount.
Consequently, only full-shifters could be called a contender who could rule over an area by force as this was a power that was two levels above the rest.
