He now has a lot of souls in his hand, most of which were obtained from hunting in the Abyss Demon Realm, as well as three human souls donated by Lucius. In total, Roy now has fifty-four low-level souls in his hand. .
Now that he guessed that the soul was a special energy source, Roy began to pursue the root cause of the demon devouring the soul to obtain magic power.
He feels that what demons should use when devouring souls is only the negative emotional energy contained in the soul. Negative emotional energy refers to the feelings of fear, fear, pain, greed, etc. that a creature has during its lifetime, and because demons often It is difficult to generate such emotions, so the souls obtained by Roy from hunting other demons in the Abyss Demon Realm will be smaller in size, naturally contain less negative emotional energy, and the increase in magic energy obtained after devouring them will also be very low.
On the contrary, because humans are relatively fragile and have rich emotions, they are more likely to produce more negative emotional energy when they die. This is also the reason why human souls are relatively large.
Based on these theories, Roy conceived a method.
He believes that demons simply increase their magic power by devouring souls, and may not fully utilize the negative emotional energy in the soul!
Therefore, during the two days he stayed in the basement, Roy took out all the souls he held, and then classified these souls according to volume. He selected several souls with similar volume and soul power, and then started test.
These souls were divided into two groups by him, one of which was used by Roy to directly devour them.
By devouring these souls and observing the growth of his magic attributes in the system panel, Roy found that most of the growth rates were only hovering around 0.3 and 0.4, and a few of them could reach 0.5.
After recording this data, Roy began to draw it in the system.
What he drew was still the potion pattern, but this time, his definition of the potion was a little different. What he defined was: [Magic Energy Amplifying Potion], [Refining and Extracting Soul Products]!
And to be on the safe side, Roy finally thought about it and added [maximum utilization]. After making these three definitions, Roy put in all the souls used for comparison. Save and present.
Different from the previous redemption of tangible items, the magic energy amplifying potion made by Roy can be made 100%, because the potion itself is the refining and extraction of the soul. One soul can be refined, and the same can be said for dozens of souls. It can be refined, the only difference is the quantity, and the volume of the extracted medicine is also different.
Soon, Roy had a bottle of potion in his hand. Roy just looked at it, then raised his head and drank it!
He had previously directly devoured a group of twelve souls, which added up to a total of 4.2 magic energy attribute increases. However, after drinking this bottle of magic energy amplification potion extracted from twelve souls of the same size, It actually gave him a full 10 points of increase in magic attributes!
In other words, the soul extraction potion made through the system in this way is more than twice as effective in increasing magic energy as that of directly devouring souls!
Roy's idea was established. He felt that he would have to control his behavior of devouring souls in the future. Although devouring souls allowed him to enjoy delicious food, it actually used less energy in the soul. If he wanted to To obtain faster growth of mana, the best way is to use the system to make extraction potions.
Now, Roy's magic attribute has increased to 23.5. When he tried to use telekinesis, the duration it could last more than doubled.
The increase in power speed brought about by T-virus enhancement has now stagnated. This shows that the current potential of the demon body has been fully developed. Before a better body development potion is produced, the two attributes of strength and speed have also temporarily come to an end.
These two attributes only guarantee Roy's hand-to-hand combat ability. In this case, Roy naturally has to find other ways. He also needs to develop long-range attack methods, etc., and long-range attack methods require him to use High-quality souls are used for skill customization, and higher magic attributes are also the fundamental guarantee after skills are produced.
During the two days that Roy stayed in the basement doing research, strange things happened one after another in the small town of Transylvania.
In two days, several people disappeared one after another. These people were all homeless vagrants in the town. Their bodies were discovered not long after they disappeared. At the beginning, People thought they had been abducted by vampires, but when their bodies were found they realized they had been murdered!
Needless to say, these homeless people were murdered by Lucius. The souls Roy received are proof. But the problem is that people in the town don't know. Lucius did it very secretly, so for a while, the town People on the street were panic-stricken and discussed who the murderer was.
Coincidentally, at this juncture, Van Helsing and his assistant, the church monk Carl, came to this town.
In the Transylvanian town that had been closed for many years, people were already familiar with each other's faces, so when Van Helsing and Carl appeared, the people in the town discovered these two strangers!
With weapons in hand, people spontaneously surrounded the two men.
This town is under the shadow of vampires, so it is extremely distrustful of strangers. This is because there are often guys who call themselves monster hunters and want to come to defeat the vampire Count Dracula without overestimating their abilities. These Without exception, all the guys were killed by Dracula, which often caused Dracula and his brides to vent their anger on the townspeople, bringing disaster to people.
Van Helsing and Carl didn't know this, so after being surrounded, they didn't know what was going on. Looking at the cold and numb eyes of the townspeople, Van Helsing had no doubt that these people would swarm up and beat them to death. So he had already reached behind his back, trying to take out a weapon and prepare to defend himself.
"You, turn around!"
At this moment, a pleasant voice came from behind Van Helsing. He turned around and found that it was a beautiful blond beauty wearing aristocratic clothing.
This woman is naturally one of the only remaining descendants of the Vellelis family, Anna Vellelis! Although she has no noble title for a long time, the Villeless family has been rich for a long time, so her dress is completely different from the poor commoners in the town, especially those women with stains on their faces, so In comparison, Anna naturally looks dazzling.
"Take off your hat!" Anna put her hands on her hips, raised her chin, and said to Van Helsing, "Show your face!"
"Why?" Van Helsing asked.
"Because we don't trust strangers!" Anna replied, "And gentlemen, you have to disarm!"
"Come and try it!" How could Van Helsing agree? His hand holding the gun tightened.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, but at this moment, another voice suddenly came: "I know who he is!"
People looked towards the source of the sound, only to find that it was the mayor who had not been seen for a long time!
"It's Baron Lucius!"
"Hasn't he been hiding in his manor to escape vampires?"
"Why is he out again now? It seems like he has lost a lot of weight..."
Ignoring people's whispers, Lucius walked towards Van Helsing from the crowd and said loudly: "Gentlemen, I know who you are! There are wanted posters for you everywhere in London and Paris, aren't they? Van Helsing ! You murderer! This is why you dare not take off your hat and reveal your true face, am I right?"
After hearing Lucius's words, the townspeople suddenly burst into an uproar. A wanted order was issued! ? Is this guy a murderer
As a result, people immediately connected the murder of many homeless people in the town some time ago with Van Helsing!
"Damn it, could it be said that he killed people in our town?"
"It's definitely not wrong. Although Baron Lucius is a little timid, he is a noble and well-informed. Since he said that the other party is a murderer, he is definitely not wrong!"
"The murderer! He is the murderer!"
"Catch him! Burn him with fire!"
Looking at the gradually agitated townspeople, Van Helsing couldn't help but smile bitterly. The wanted order was real. In fact, many of the monsters Van Helsing had hunted were actually transformed into humans. When killing these monsters, Afterwards, they will turn back into human form, which leads many people who don't know the truth to regard him as a murderer and want him in various cities for first-degree murder!
Regarding this point, Van Helsing didn't even have a chance to argue...
