Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 651 New Form of the Witch's Body (2-in-1)

"Next, we just have to wait!"

However, I can still do many things during this time.

For example, let's build the three-headed dragon first!

After watching the red-robed wizards leave, Roy returned to the city-state of Deirdiri to continue refining the metal flesh.

He knew the nature of the urine of immortals.

Because life is long, many things have to be put off.

In addition, the astral plane is vast and boundless, and the time between the various worlds is not uniform.

Various communications, negotiations, mutual confirmations, transactions, and so on.

It certainly takes time.

In the same world, between secular nations, many similar transactions and negotiations take half a year or even several years.

If it were the Seven Towers Alliance and the Arcane Empire, it would be an even longer process.

He can't just sit here and wait.

……

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

Outside the city, in the western suburbs.

Beside the barren mountain.

"hold head high!"

The three-headed dragon Trekephalos roared to the sky, its deep cry piercing the clouds and bringing with it infrasound that seemed capable of disorienting one's bones.

The surrounding mountains and forests were filled with the fear of birds and beasts, followed by a deathly silence.

"Great, it's almost finished!"

Roy looked up at the three-headed dragon, which now had a considerable amount of "flesh and blood" filling it, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Through his continuous efforts, he created various types of Zabilmog and Poit alloys to fill the "flesh and blood" of the three-headed dragon.

Now, this level-two main battle puppet has finally reached the point where it is ready to go into battle.

Although for the time being, it still looks like a "dried corpse" rather than a real, flesh-and-blood bionic dragon.

But it still has a huge amount of energy compared to the "Skull" era, as well as the defensive power brought by the magic metal itself.

"This technique of fusing flesh and blood can store a large amount of magic power within it, achieving a level two... or even a level three energy storage limit!"

Perhaps, it's not just these three dragons.

I can use this technology myself!

After checking for a while, Roy quickly thought of this again.

"However, compared to puppets, those used for modifying one's own magical body are more inclined towards magic."

I previously used the Blood Mercury Witch Body, and in theory, I should continue down this path and gradually replace all my flesh and blood!
However, at the same time, it is necessary to preserve the bloodline power of Quetzalcoatl.

In other words, this bloodline power needs to be dissolved in the blood mercury!

Roy had consulted the materials a long time ago and compiled the modification outline of this series.

First, mercury is used to fill the blood, replacing the body's own blood.

Mercury circulates in the blood, replacing the blood medium that was originally used by natural organisms.

Then, the blood mercury fills the heart, transforming this crucial organ into a demonic organ.

Next, we'll work on the critical organs that were already addressed, such as the heart, liver, spleen, and lungs.

Thanks to the realization of this bloodline, he has already achieved it.

The internal organs that follow will also undergo transformation, which is certainly possible.

But that's just accumulating quantity, which isn't very meaningful.

The real, further transformation needed is for the blood mercury to integrate into the limbs and bones, circulating throughout the body, and gradually transforming the bones into magic metal as well.

During the process of the witch's body growing, the flesh and bones are constantly immersed in witchcraft energy and subjected to enormous radiation, which has long since produced a demonic effect.

But only when this step is reached, and even the medium on which it is carried is replaced, can the sublimation be achieved.

At that point, wizards will also be able to master spells such as "transformation" without being taught.

……

After that, Roy made special preparations for this, compiling relevant knowledge about "flesh metallization".

The conclusion drawn was that I had fully met all the prerequisites.

This includes physical strength, mental strength, and material preparation.

Let's get started right away.

Soon, another four months passed, and the year came to an end.

After some sorting and preparation, Roy, drawing on his previous experience in creating the three-headed dragon, prepared the large amount of blood mercury he needed.

Inside the laboratory, dark golden magic array patterns pulsated in the darkness, and the surrounding arrays flickered like breathing.

In the center is a huge pool.

The pool was filled with mercury, from which a chilling silver mist rose.

This scene transformed the entire room into a place resembling a hot spring, but in reality, it was a terrifying place filled with highly toxic and horrifying energy particles, a veritable hell.

Anyone who steps into this place will be poisoned within seconds.

Even under the illumination of powerful magical energy, genes collapse and flesh dissolves.

However, for Roy, it was like taking a bath.

Roy stepped naked into it, and the extremely dense blood mercury parted and swallowed him.

Soon after, he lay down inside.

"Celine, let's begin!"

He closed his eyes and gave the order.

"Yes!"

The girl's head floated over, her pupils reflecting the beautiful boy's body, and she responded.

Instantly, the witch formation was activated.

The mercury seemed to boil, bubbling and churning.

Amidst the churning blood mist, his skin and flesh began to dissolve, resembling overcooked meat scattered in the pot.

However, the specially treated heart, liver, spleen, and lungs scattered out and floated on the surface of the mercury pool, rising and falling with the surging of the blood mist.

In this eerie scene, Roy's true form...

Or perhaps, the true essence of all living beings...

A brain, along with a skull, spine, and the nerve networks that grow tightly around them, are revealed.

Protected by the magical energy, the spine was not damaged, and the nerves extended like tree roots, penetrating into the liquid metal solution below.

The scarlet light moved within the silvery-white mercury, transforming into a viscous, silvery-red fluid.

Gradually, it seemed to come alive again, climbing up along the nerves and bones.

Metal is growing, and flesh is being reshaped.

Several hours have passed.

The two are no longer clearly distinct, but rather devour and merge with each other, eventually coalescing into a new form.

As Roy's heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were re-encased, his new body gradually took shape, its surface flowing with a mercury-like luster, only to solidify into a cool-toned, frosty white complexion in the next second.

As the last wisp of energy from the witch array flowed into his body, Roy slowly opened his eyes, a crimson light flashing within his vertical snake pupils.

He stretched out his palm and looked at his skin, which had become smoother and more delicate.

He squinted slightly again, sensing the extraordinary power contained within.

Suddenly, hair grew from the back of his head, forming iron spears that pierced his body.

Phew! Phew!

Because he hadn't used any magical energy to defend himself, his body was pierced through in an instant. But...

Absolutely nothing!

His Blood Mercury Witch Body was already at its peak, and all physical attacks such as stabbing and slashing were completely ignored.

Even if the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and brain are attacked, there is still a threat.

Roy nodded to himself.

It was a success!

******
Roy stepped out of the mercury pool and onto the gleaming metal floor.

Two ghostly maids silently approached, holding towels, and wiped away the remaining liquid metal from him.

During this time, Roy's flesh and blood rippled as if they were alive.

This newborn body has transcended ordinary matter and become a carrier of high-concentration energy particles.

It's filled with the magical energy of "revitalization".

"Master, all monitoring data has been collected."

The girl's skull floated over from the side and asked a question.

"How are you feeling now?"

"very good!"

Roy stretched out his hand, looked at his palm, and smiled slightly.

"Please organize this data, and I'll check it later."

"Yes."

……

Shortly after, in the training room.

Several fleshy mushroom demon warriors swung their swords, the sharp blades slicing through Roy's chest and striking his hands and feet.

But then, a crimson light surged from Roy's body, blocking it out of thin air.

This is an energy shield formed by the abundance of magical energy within it.

The body, having undergone demonic transformation, possesses greater magical conductivity, making it easier to operate these things.

Just then, a spear suddenly pierced through his abdomen.

But Roy's expression remained unchanged; instead, his flesh and blood writhed as if he were alive, and he twisted the spear in half.

The broken spear was ejected from the other side, and his body quickly recovered.

"In this new form, the total amount of physical strength remains the same, but the composition of flesh and blood tissue is much more reasonable, and overall, it is much stronger."

After quietly reflecting for a while, Roy muttered to himself.

Attribute data is always defined by humans and serves as a reference standard.

In reality, wizards still focus on actual combat performance.

Looking back, the key to achieving this transformation was, of course, the revitalization of witchcraft itself.

However, the metal knowledge of the prehistoric Mogis dynasty, including some properties of Poyt alloys, was also a great help.

In addition, the precious fruits we had eaten before were also indispensable.

Without that precious fruit that enhanced the activity of magical energy, I would have had to spend at least several more decades accumulating it.

Unfortunately, eating more of it is not beneficial.

Otherwise, perhaps we could continue to adjust the magical energy.

At this moment, Roy suddenly had an inspiration and thought of a way to make full use of the "Golden Dragon's Blood" and its bloodline power.

“Using that golden dragon blood directly, it can be refined into a dragon-human bloodline potion…”

Is it possible to go a step further and transform it into the form of the Radiant Gold Witch Body?
I already put this into practice when I was creating the three-headed dragon Trekephalos.

Its skeleton is made of gleaming gold.

If we use that golden dragon's blood and sweat, perhaps we can achieve perfect control.

"By then, I will also possess the powerful bloodline of the dragon race!"

The bloodline of dragons can be considered the pinnacle of existence among all living beings on earth.

Generally speaking, a young dragon that hatches soon after hatching already possesses strength that surpasses most ferocious beasts.

Adult dragons possess a level 3 creature template, and can continue to grow until they reach legendary level.

This could become a ladder to advancement, making it highly coveted by various wizards and mages.

This is also why Roy valued this treasure.

However, using dragon bloodline carries a potential risk of becoming an enemy of the dragon race, or even suffering an invisible curse.

Unless, of course, one can gain the approval of the dragon race.

Even so, it may contain the schemes of some powerful beings. For example, when they first came into contact with the World Tree, they provoked Zunikamoz and were burdened with an inexplicable mission.

However, for ordinary people, these are all very distant things.

The gaze of great beings is not always cast upon the mundane world.

Even if someone is chosen, not everyone is qualified to become one of their pawns.

There are both risks and rewards involved; it all depends on how you manage them.

Moreover, after level four, one enters the realm of legends and demigods, many of whom are beings who transcend physical form.

Even if they wanted to descend to Earth again and exert influence on the material world, they would often need a vessel for such a descent.

This is almost the strongest "piece" that can be accommodated on this "chessboard".

As long as we stay in the material plane, we won't be afraid even if gods descend to earth!

But Roy calculated that an adult dragon would be over 10 meters long and weigh over 2 pounds.

If a full gold-plated construction is adopted, the material cost would conservatively be over 5000 million.

The source of that golden dragon's essence, "Astrid Gothic Goldenwing," was a robust adult dragon weighing over 10 pounds.

To fully unleash its potential, it would probably require forging a golden body of equal weight.

That's over 250 million...

If we also factor in the costs of other tests and modifications, we'll need to prepare at least 5 million to 10 billion yuan.

This only covers things that can be bought with money; it's the most basic, but also the easiest part to solve, in the entire project.

As they continue to grow, they will reach even larger sizes and age stages, weighing hundreds of thousands of pounds, millions of pounds...

All the investments will be a bottomless pit.

This is probably far more terrifying than a god descending to earth!
"Never mind, accumulating Radiant Gold is just a side thing anyway."

"I'll wait until I advance to level three before deciding whether to choose this bloodline!"

Roy pondered for a moment, thinking to himself.

……

After that, Roy continued to cultivate his blood mercury sorcerer body, while also creating the three-headed dragon Trekepharos.

Good news suddenly came from the Wuta.

"The Alliance has reached a preliminary consensus with Achinira and, entrusted by the Nabia Wizard, has raised the payment for the Legion's commission."

Now, here's a portion of the loot we seized from Fass's spatial ring, along with some other materials we found, as a reward...

This is the initial payment; the remaining balance will be paid after the hostage exchange is completed!

Then they sent over a list.

Various miscellaneous items, worth nearly ten million.

Roy didn't care too much and immediately focused his attention on the spatial knowledge from Fass.

Moreover, as requested before, he was given a "Dimensional Anchor" that could be used to block all kinds of spatial magic!
However, unlike ordinary dimensional anchor spells, it is not a single-target protective barrier, but a regional protective barrier for groups.

There are even materials that combine it with "All Spirits Net" to create a simplified version of the barrier technique.

With these items, he could create an alchemical artifact similar to "Malthus's Ivory Tower," but with more functions and more powerful effects!
