While Kirby was busy dealing with a large number of fire diamonds and gems brought back by his master, Greem also began to seriously examine the harvest he brought back from his trip to the volcano.
1 Tier 2 giant nuclei, 4 Tier 1 giant nuclei.
I am afraid that such a harvest would make official wizards jealous!
And with Greem's current golem production ability, he still can't handle the second-level elemental crystal nucleus. After all, any external change is a kind of harm to the crystal nucleus itself, and the protection mechanism of the Tier 2 giant crystal nucleus itself is enough for Greem to drink a pot. It is impossible for him to control the alchemy platform while exhausting his mind, and at the same time prevent the crystal nucleus from going berserk.
A mistake at a critical moment may destroy this hard-won top treasure!
Therefore, before his strength grows again, this second-order giant nucleus can only be treasured, and he will deal with it when he is more confident.
As for the remaining four Tier 1 giant crystal nuclei, they are the focus of Greem's recent busy schedule.
Using the most primitive method, Greem carefully scanned every giant crystal nucleus into his mind. The statistical data of the chip even includes the firmness of each crystal nucleus, the flatness of each crystal surface, the growth direction and thickness distribution of each crystal cluster... The key point is to scan the surface area that each crystal nucleus can use.
According to these complicated and huge statistical data, the chips need to design the most suitable three-dimensional magic array for each of their crystal nuclei, and then go through multiple optimization combinations so that they can be perfectly accommodated by the crystal nuclei.
Molten giants are magical creatures with dual attributes of earth and fire. It is undoubtedly a huge waste to simply use one of the attributes. Therefore, if you want to tap their potential without any omission, the chip will need a long analysis and calculation. come up with the best solution.
After handing over all these to the chip, Greem himself was busy with his fire magic learning all day long. Ever since his body became a body of flames, Greem's ability to learn these fire-type witchcraft has become more effective with half the effort. The witchcraft, which used to take a month or two to get started, is now refreshing his skill list at a rate of one a day.
However, those witchcrafts that require relevant witchcraft knowledge and have multiple witchcraft effects still require Greem to put in a lot of effort.
It can be said that the previous volcano group has wiped out Greem's newly formed earth-type golem team, and it will take a long time to replenish the loss of 5 rock python crystal cores. The Swamp Tower doesn't have the large amount of crystal core resources that Greem needs, so he can only ask Mary to buy some from the outside when he goes out to perform missions.
However, the most that can be purchased in this way are quasi-witch-level crystal nuclei, and all of them are extremely expensive. After all, Greem has higher and more picky requirements for the quality and fineness of the crystal nucleus. Wanting to collect wizard-level resources in the apprentice market is simply a delusion!
According to the normal affiliation relationship, if Greem needs high-level wizard resources, the most convenient way should be through Wizard Anderson. It's a pity that Wizard Anderson is obviously a selfish guy. He is only busy with the witchcraft experiments that he cares about all day long, and he doesn't care about the wizard apprentices under him at all.
So in a horizontal comparison, the apprentices from the Swamp Tower are more than half weaker than the apprentices from other wizard towers.
...
The fifth floor of the Swamp Tower.
In the middle of the night, Entik came here again.
In a stone room hall, a huge magic circle has long been drawn on the hard stone floor, covered with all kinds of wonderful and mysterious witchcraft runes and lines. Even if Entik tried his best to recall, he could barely discern two or three familiar ones from the many runes.
These are mysterious runes related to blood, soul, and fusion. As for the specific use, I'm sorry, but with the knowledge reserve of an apprentice wizard, I really can't analyze it.
But what particularly shocked Entik was the strong smell of blood in the witch formation and the dark blood stains on the floor that couldn't be washed off. These are the most direct evidence of the torture he has suffered in the past few months. If it weren't for the crazy idea of becoming stronger to support him, even with his half-worm body, it would be difficult for him to endure the repeated tempering and fusion of blood.
Anderson, who was dressed in a black wizard robe, was adjusting the wizard formation in front of him. As his lips murmured and his ten fingers danced like ghost claws, one after another mysterious witchcraft runes were generated out of thin air and continuously integrated into the witch formation.
As a result, the various energy circuits and nodes of the witch formation were lit up in an orderly manner.
"Take off your clothes and stand in the witch ring!"
Wizard Anderson's instructions were simple and straightforward, but the words were imbued with an irresistible majesty.
Entik complied with a pale face.
With the cloth robe off the cover, what a twisted and terrifying half-worm body is exposed in the air!
On his body, the torso that belonged to humans was already rare, and all parts of the body showed extremely obvious insect characteristics. Weird and changeable colored eye pupils, many small compound eyes around the pupils, lotus petal-shaped mouthparts layered upon layer, black hard armor covering the whole body, and sickle-shaped limbs folded on both sides of the body …
Ever since he turned himself into such a strange appearance that is not like a human being or a bug, Entik has never revealed his body in front of anyone. It can be said bluntly that everyone who has seen his real body has been swallowed by him, and has become the nourishment for the growth of this half-worm body.
But today, he can only show his body humiliatingly!
The gloomy and cold air and the bone-chilling slate made him feel extremely uncomfortable, but he still stood upright in the witchcraft circle that could only accommodate one person at the center of the witch formation.
"Okay... very good..." Wizard Anderson's cold voice seemed illusory in the empty hall: "Although the physical function has declined somewhat, the effect of blood fusion is not bad! Boy, if you can survive this witchcraft experiment , you will definitely become the unique blood-sucking giant worm in this world!"
Jie Jie Jie...
With Master Anderson screaming almost crazily, the surging energy in the witchcraft circle gradually converged into the witchcraft circle, and the strong magical energy even illuminated Entik's body, penetrating his internal organs and bones all over his body. out. In this strong light, a hazy, illusory but fragmented phantom of the soul stood where Entik was, staring blankly at everything around him.
And in the sky above the witch formation, a gap was opened in the ceiling, and a fist-sized crystal clear soul diamond slowly descended from it. Through the continuously revolving light of the witch formation, it can be seen that there is a crystal clear blood-colored crystal rolling at the core of the Soul Diamond.
Step by step, he slowly manipulated the Soul Diamond, allowing it to stick to Entik's forehead. With a burning smell, the Soul Diamond radiated high temperature and heat, blowing black smoke from Entik's forehead, and embedding itself there abruptly.
The blood-colored crystals are spinning slowly, emitting a strand of blood-colored gossamer every time it turns around. Guided by the Soul Diamond, this bloody gossamer slowly merged into Entik's body. At first, this shift was not obvious. When more and more bloody gossamer was incorporated, Entik's body also began to turn dark red, with bloody magic patterns looming.
Such body modification is tantamount to a terrible torture for Entik. How could the half-worm body that had already taken over the dominance of his body allow the contamination of different bloodlines? In the depths of the bloodlines that outsiders could not see, a life-and-death war was in the ascendant, and the battle was extremely tragic!
Under the suppression of the witch formation, the home field advantage of the half-worm blood was constantly weakened. However, the weak vampire blood seems to be able to do a job with ease under the support of the endless energy of the tower, constantly expanding the territory and conquering the city in Entik's body.
His body has become a battlefield of life and death for two bloodlines. At this moment, Entik is like an ordinary human being stripped of all his mysterious abilities. Even the cold air in the hall can make him shiver and feel extremely cold.
Both bloodlines are extremely powerful, and both regard the other as pollution to themselves, and there is absolutely no possibility of compromise and coexistence. In every corner of Entik's body, the factors of two different bloodlines were fighting inextricably. Whenever a bloodline becomes weak, it will try to invade those normal body factors, and then assimilate and infect itself with more partners, continuously joining the war.
Yes, this is a war! A battle for dominance between the half-worm bloodline and the vampire bloodline! Unless one side completely overwhelms the other, or the host becomes too weak to continue, the war will go on forever.
As the war progressed, Entik's eyes, ears, nose, nose, and even all parts of his body continuously leaked black, pungent, viscous liquid, which slowly flowed down his body.
These are the life factors that died in the blood war.
And Entik's breath of life also began to become dying.
Sensing that the host's body has become extremely weak, and may die tragically at any time in this kind of war that goes deep into the bloodline and soul level, the two different bloodlines finally retreated and compromised. They curled up in their respective original domains, slowed down the squeeze on the host's body, and were always vigilant about the dynamics of the alien blood.
The half-worm blood with the worm mother as its host curled up in Entik's brain, while the heterogeneous vampire blood transformed Entik's heart and placed itself inside. Although the original wish of blood fusion was not realized, blood coexistence was basically realized.
Wizard Anderson, who had been concentrating on monitoring the dynamics in Entik's body, finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a slight movement of his mental power, a hidden mental wave was aroused.
Taking advantage of Entik's soul, body, and blood being at their weakest, a soul blood bond embedded in the Soul Diamond also took the opportunity to integrate into his body.
"You..." Entik also has quasi-witch-level spiritual power after all. Although he is weak, he will not be ignorant of the danger coming. However, he was not allowed to plan a counterattack, the soul blood contract had already been branded into his soul.
So in the next second, naked, he lowered his eyebrows and looked down again.
"Awaiting your orders, great Master Anderson!"
Hearing this expected answer, Wizard Anderson couldn't help laughing out loud, and the cold sharp laughter resounded throughout the hall like a night owl.
