Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 653 Level Three Net (2-in-1)

"It's done..."

More than an hour later.

Inside the mage's mansion, in the alchemy room.

Roy held a bottle of jet-black "Thousand Shot Potion" in his hand, lost in thought.

"A fusion of the remnants of a demon god, containing more than a dozen similar and bizarre powers..."

Hopefully, this will have a good effect!

There is a similar theory in the wizarding world that hair needs the nourishment of blood to grow thick and lush.

Conversely, when qi and blood are insufficient, they will lose nutrients first and become dry.

To some extent, this potion is also extracting the bloodline factors of those demon god-level monsters and incorporating them as pieces of a puzzle.

All of this is based on the premise that the Ghostly Witch Body itself has a profound foundation and an extremely high origin.

The effects of the potion Roy is currently concocting are unknown because the materials and refining steps are not fixed.

Even through the Eye of Hermes, it appears to be nothing more than a jumble of mixed spiritual light.

But he still went ahead without hesitation, tilting his head back and drinking the medicine in one gulp.

A strong smell of smoke and dust, mixed with a pungent, fishy stench, wafted through the air.

With a gurgling sound in his throat, he swallowed it in large gulps.

Roy licked his lips.

"This taste is indescribable!"

If it weren't for the need to truly master some special power, he really wouldn't have been able to stand this strange taste.

The next moment, my scalp started to itch.

A strange, wriggling sensation came from within.

"It's so itchy..."

Has it taken effect yet?

Roy reached behind him, his fingers unconsciously scratching his head.

What I touched was not the familiar strands of hair, but a strange, sticky, wriggling substance.

Each hair seemed to suddenly come to life, twisting, wriggling, and growing between the fingers.

Moments later, his hair suddenly grew wildly.

As black mist filled the room, it was as if the entire room was filled with jet-black hair.

"what happened?"

Outside the room, Prandtse and Nisa sensed something unusual and rushed over to check.

As a result, she was quickly forced to retreat by the flood of black hair.

But after a short while, they were surprised to find that the black hair was not a physical entity, but a strange thing that was half real and half illusory.

Roy walked out, with long black hair floating around him like smoke.

"I can't stay here any longer, let's go outside and see what's going on!"

As you watched, plumes of black smoke billowed out, seemingly about to fill the entire mansion.

Roy was afraid that his hair would go out of control and suddenly materialize, destroying the place, so he immediately left the mage's mansion and went outside.

As a result, a large black "cloud" spread out.

He simply sat down sideways, feeling the fluffy, soft texture, like cotton.

"Your hair is ridiculously thick! Did you drink a potion and gain some new trait?"

Nisha couldn't help but ask.

Freya also came out upon hearing the news. After flying into the sky, she picked up a lock of her hair and touched it.

A pool of black substance slid down like flowing water.

It resembles clouds, smoke, quicksand, mercury, and cloth, simultaneously presenting multiple forms of the material world.

Black Cat Domi also flew up on Ah-Dai No. 1, his eyes filled with surprise.

"It seems I can change the shape of this hair at will?"
Moreover, it can be easily connected and disconnected.

Roy tucked his long hair behind his head.

To facilitate movement, it has automatically changed to waist-length with a moderate density.

However, this did not prevent a large amount of black matter from sliding down and turning into a larger cloud.

Before long, the dark clouds had spread to a radius of 100 meters, and were showing a tendency to grow wider and wider.

Startled, Deirdre and the others took to the sky on their toy birds, flying carpets, and other objects to investigate.

"Lord Roy, what's going on?"

"Don't panic, it's nothing."

Roy offered her a brief reassurance before turning his attention back to his hair.

Gradually, it was finally confirmed.

I did indeed acquire some of the powers of those strange creatures.

The fastest and most obvious manifestation of this power is the nightmare power originating from "Tesmara's tangled hair".

This is only a small piece of the puzzle and is not enough to allow the Ghostly Witch Body to break through the current stage.

However, it did enhance its cultural heritage.

Moreover, even those that have not yet manifested may be hidden within, providing the total amount of law residue.

"It's such a mess, it's terrible..."

"You're not worthy of a handsome man like me!"

Roy thought with a hint of regret.

As soon as the thought crossed my mind, crimson, silver, golden, and other different colors of light appeared.

The smoke and clouds shifted and changed, transforming the long, black hair into a scene resembling a magnificent garden.

The place where he sat was a luxurious, palatial chair, with armrests made of gold that seemed to support his arms, complementing his posture.

Everyone stared in astonishment at this scene, speechless for a long time.

"It can be roughly confirmed that this Ghost Witch Body has undergone many changes in its external form, and its activity has also increased."

It can transform into smoke and clouds, palaces, or various special forms that change according to one's will...

After that, Roy reflected on it and felt that these fancy puzzle pieces not only increased his adaptability in various situations, but also enhanced his overall foundation.

His ultimate goal was to use it as a vessel to contain the magical energy of the "Apache Prohibition".

He immediately began studying the materials.

……

Another six months have passed.

The year is drawing to a close.

Through continuous research and analysis, Roy gradually determined many things.

"The previous anomaly was indeed caused by 'Tesmara's tangled hair'!"

After merging with His power as a puzzle piece, the Hair Demon Body possessed an energy form comparable to a level three witchcraft.

Its function is equivalent to a container for third-level witchcraft.

The difference is that the power I can wield is not strong enough.

"You need to be even stronger, reaching a true level three, to fully unleash its potential."

Level 2 beings may also be able to cast Level 3 spells due to certain special talents.

Such spells are often inherently flawed, with their power, range of influence, number of targets, and duration all being significantly weaker than the standard version.

That is why, even though his barrier spell could potentially cover the entire city, he could only cover a few hundred meters around it.

However, because the spell model is correct and the rules it triggers are of the same level, it is still not comparable to ordinary level two sorcery.

Roy sat down on the spot, his hair automatically supporting him from behind, conjuring up palaces, gardens, and a golden throne. "As a demigod-level monster, the tangled hair of Tesmara, the Lord of Nightmares, actually belongs to the lower-level demon god sequence. Its basic ability is to create small-scale nightmare worlds."

I previously thought this belonged to the realm of illusion, but I was wrong.

It must be an even more wondrous realm of nightmares, capable of directly interfering with matter!

******
This is essentially due to the power of a higher-level being.

only……

The Eye of Hermes illuminated the object, quickly identifying its attributes.

"The Entangled Hair of Tismara, Lord of Nightmares (Level 4)..."

Awakening Stage: Level Zero

Nightmare-type demons possessing the trait of 'fear' can transform all things into nightmares.

Its true form is like a strand of hair, possessing some characteristics of "Shadow Tentacles"...

"Awakening Stage: Level Zero"...

Roy was focused on this key point.

This essentially limits the heights it can currently reach, which are only equivalent to the apprentice level.

However, "characteristics" and "mechanisms" are determined by rank and are unrelated to the current actual rank.

Therefore, if used properly, it can still have endless uses.

He had spent half a year figuring out how to improve it, but he still didn't know how.

There seems to be only one road ahead.

That is to kill more demon-level monsters and plunder and devour their power.

If there are any elements among them that match the power of nightmares, perhaps they can be fused together and enhanced.

But that's not something I can do at my current stage. At least a Grand Wizard or higher would be qualified to participate!

Roy felt that instead of hoping for what was temporarily unavailable, it was better to make good use of what was already available.

Perhaps there are still some remnants that can be found inside the "Thousand-Shot Potion"!
After that, Roy continued to study and learn the "Apago Prohibition" while using various methods to guide and explore the effects of the "Thousand-Shot Potion" he had drunk earlier.

As it turns out, hard work pays off.

Another year later, the effects of the "Thousand Shot Potion" truly reappeared.

……

Inside the monk's mansion.

Roy sat in the room, channeling his power.

Suddenly, strands of hair fell to the ground and transformed into black venomous snakes as thick as a person's arm.

Each of them possessed a dangerous triangular head and a golden spiritual mark branded on its forehead.

Those are puzzle pieces containing spiritual toxins that can directly affect the soul.

Therefore, even a ghost would be affected if it were bitten like that.

It can also transmit some mental imprint-type spells, such as "mental anchors" used for tracking and locating targets.

"This is 'Ophidius's snake hair (level 5),' an ability belonging to a true god-level monster, a mid-level demon god!"
By mastering His remnants, I can transform hair into venomous snakes.

These are not temporary changes in activity, but special life forms created by divine power!

Although the awakening stage is also level zero, it still provides a lot of inspiration for my main field of life-activating magic!

The hair at the back of her head continued to fall, as if it were a never-ending stream.

Before long, these black, cloud-like things had accumulated into a large area.

Under Roy's control, it took on a highly activated, viscous liquid form.

The next moment, a noblewoman dressed in gorgeous clothes appeared out of thin air.

The viscous liquid formed from black smoke and clouds seeped into its hair, gradually revealing a semi-transparent ghostly form with a full head of beautiful hair.

The noblewoman's face was indistinct.

The figure flickered, like the stuttering caused by missing frames in an old movie.

It doesn't look like a typical ghost-like monster, but rather a strange creature from a bizarre world.

that's the truth.

This is "Banffles"...

It is also a kind of monster at the mid-level demon god level.

The Eye of Hermes reflects and displays its information.

"Banfrasse's Phantom (Level 5)..."

Awakening Stage: Level Zero

Wraiths possessing the quality of 'hatred' are born driven by the emotion of 'hatred'. They can parasitize specific targets that meet certain conditions, nourish themselves with them, and devour magic power.

This parasitic ability is exempt from the will and cannot be used on powerful individuals of a higher level…

It's a very simple and pure attribute.

It is the "emotion-driven" divine power mechanism.

"Banfrace's Phantom" has reached a level comparable to a true god. Even if it is just a trace of something, it has the capacity to bear something similar to the Holy Grail. Moreover, it can cross the starry sky and transcend the limitations of planes and worlds!
Its essence is also a source material container.

It has simply transformed from a vessel for faith into a vessel for bizarre and monstrous power!
"My hair is tucked into it, and it seems to merge into one, achieving the characteristic of 'materialization'?"
This is something that should only be done by those at level four or above, and I couldn't fully utilize it, but summoning an avatar was more than enough.

Besides that, it serves as a storage battery.

In the future, any materials requiring the collection of hatred power or the corresponding Soul Pigment Black can be continuously drawn from it.

This is the end.

The tangled hair of Tismara, the Lord of Nightmares... Nightmares manifest!
Orpheus's snake hair... transforms into a venomous snake!
Banfrasse's Phantom... The Banshee's Wraith!

The power extracted from the remnants of the three great demon gods was incorporated into the body of the Hair Demon Witch as pieces of a puzzle.

Roy was finally able to fulfill the prerequisites and truly begin to make further use of the situation.

That is……

Master the "Apache Ban"!
In fact, from a practical point of view, even if it is a strange puzzle piece brought about by the remnants of a demon god, if the awakening level is too low, it cannot bring about a qualitative change in his strength.

But the "Apache ban" is permissible.

This is a high-level, group form of the "Dimensional Anchor".

Judging from the fact that its prototype already has a level two status, generally speaking, this advanced form of derivative spell can be rated as level three!

Then, integrate some models from the "Net of All Spirits"...

Its potential should not be underestimated.

After more than two years of research and study, Roy has finally become more confident in realizing his previous plan.

Therefore, he deliberately left the monk's mansion and went to an open space outside the city to try it out.

As he channeled his power, black chains flew out from behind his head, crisscrossing in the air and forming a net.

It covers an area of ​​several hundred meters around.

The next moment, the colors changed, and a magnificent, golden dome appeared, a spectacle of grandeur.

This is the illusion created by "Tesmara's Entangled Hair," which is incredibly lifelike under the influence of the spiritual energy carried by the hair.

But its true function is not to create such an illusion, but to serve as a kind of vehicle.

Roy then infused it with magical energy, and the "Apache Prohibition," which sealed off the space, truly manifested.

"~~..."

(Apache ban)

As the incantation rang out, all the previously injected magical energy was mobilized.

At this moment, the air was filled with invisible strands of hair carrying eerie energy, as if spirits and souls were about to be caught in the net, entangled and unable to move.

"Success!"

Roy reached out, sensed it, and a smile appeared on his face.
