On the morning of his day off, in the Room of Requirement, Ivan solemnly opened the glass bottle and poured the scarlet blood into the cauldron filled with potions.
The next moment, the two liquids fused together and produced a magical reaction. It was as if high temperatures were boiling, causing bubbles to bubble up.
By this time, the potion in the cauldron had changed from a chaotic mess to a brilliant golden red…
Ivan did not hesitate. He immediately put the potion in a bottle and drank it.
The golden-red liquid flowed down her throat and tasted strange, but before Ivan could taste it, he felt a warm current rising from her stomach and gradually flowing through her body. It was like standing in a sauna naked and feeling warm all over.
This was the first time Ivan had found that merging bloodlines was not necessarily painful, but perhaps enjoyable…
However, as soon as the idea occurred to him, it was extinguished.
This was because Ivan soon discovered that there was a large furnace inside his body that was constantly emitting heat, and the temperature was rising. In just a few seconds, it reached a point where Ivan found it unbearable.
His skin and organs seemed to be being cooked in a raging fire, and one could hear the faint cry of a phoenix.
Not only that, but the other powers in his body also began to stir. It was obvious that the new Phoenix power had broken the balance.
[Activate protection mode!]
Ivan decided not to hold back any longer, and decisively willed the almost violent surge of magic to subside.
After his previous experiences with merging bloodlines, Ivan was adept at maintaining the balance of power, and the four activated bloodlines were suppressed before they could erupt.
However, after losing control, the Phoenix Power became more and more violent, rampaging through his body and finally entering his heart!
Under the protection of her enhanced senses, Ivan could clearly "see" golden-red flames emerging from the surface of the beating heart. The flames seemed to have received sufficient nourishment as they rapidly expanded into a fireball that engulfed the beating heart…
My heart is on fire?
An incredibly ridiculous thought flashed through Ivan's mind, and in the next instant he found out it was far worse than he had imagined!
The golden-red flame extended through Ivan's veins after devouring his heart, and his body was lit up like a torch.
Ivan was somewhat confused by this change, as he could sense his body disappearing bit by bit, gradually turning into fuel for the flames.
At this rate, it would not be long before he completely disappeared from this world!
Ivan tried his best to stop it, but to his surprise, he found that he was completely helpless. This was because he could not freely control this newborn power, and could only suppress or destroy it. However, once he did this, it meant that the bloodline fusion had failed!
After thinking about the legendary points he had painstakingly accumulated, Ivan gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble. He would do nothing but let the flames consume him.
Fire was, after all, the hotbed of the phoenix, and he had seen Fawkes's Fire-Nirvana face before — death sometimes did not mean an end, but a new life!
With this in mind, Ivan instantly gave up and closed his eyes, feeling the heat of the fire licking over his body, first his internal organs, then his arms and legs, his body, and finally his head, which was hanging alone in the air, disappearing…
There was no pain throughout the entire process. The only thing Ivan found strange was that his brain was gone, but he was still able to think normally. He could even "see" his surroundings through the dissipating magic, but his vision was divided into many parts, and there was only a drifting flame where he had been standing.
Ivan tried to do something in this strange state, and as soon as he had this thought, the flames flew against the wall and exploded.
Ivan immediately felt his "body" fall apart and split into many pieces, but he did not panic. With a thought, the scattered flames automatically gathered.
I've turned into a ball of fire? Yvonne thought, amazed at how easily he was able to control the flames as he had been able to control his own body.
After a short period of adaptation, Ivan was able to immerse himself in this wonderful state, experimenting with his new ability to target the room's tables, chairs, and cupboards, expending his magic to create more flames and destroy them without restraint.
[Protection mode over…]
Ivan was enjoying the fire when the system beeped.
The next moment, Ivan could feel his control over the flames slipping away, and he was losing control.
This caused Ivan to panic, and he quickly abandoned the idea of continuing the experiment in order to find a way to return to his original form.
After more than a minute of probing, the flames in the Room of Requirement slowly gathered.
"What an amazing ability," Ivan muttered to himself as he emerged from the flames, looking at his hands and his perfectly fine robes.
After confirming that he did not lose any limbs or clothes, Ivan quickly opened the system column to see the changes in his fused bloodline.

"Fire control?" Ivan raised his eyebrows as he looked at the new blood magic. He had just tested the new power he had obtained. It was not as simple as controlling flames. It could almost be considered as transforming into flames!
Ivan had always been envious of Voldemort's ability to turn himself into mist, which was not only convenient, but also useful in restraining enemies, escaping, and staying alive.
It could be said that the reason why the Dark Lord was so difficult to deal with, other than the seven Horcruxes, was because he had mastered this special blood magic that made him immune to most attacks.
Now, he had finally obtained a similar ability. Although it might be inferior to the Black Fog in terms of concealment and containment, it was much more destructive.
