Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 669: Entering the Self

Chapter 669: Entering the Self (2-in-1)

Over the years, Roy's research into this matter has become increasingly profound.

I gradually came to realize that achieving soul transfer is indeed not so easy.

The "authority" most adept at this matter is probably that of demons and devils, beings with the talent to seize control of living beings' bodies.

Possession by a ghost is similar.

In many folk tales and myths, there are also objects that have developed intelligence and thus become spiritual entities.

He even once refined Riebley's soul into the Fire Copper Lamp to serve as its spirit.

However, those methods all have various flaws to varying degrees.

It mainly concerns one's own life and soul, and cannot be dealt with like a simple wandering spirit.

The higher the level of a life form, the greater its soul energy and information.

He could easily deal with the souls of mortals or Freya, but when it came to himself, it was like grabbing his own hair and lifting him into the air.

"Self-reliance" is not easy.

And one cannot entrust oneself to gods or other higher beings, or rely on the power of others.

Therefore, "self-reliance" is also necessary.

Caught in this dilemma, a group of people resorted to the Lich's Box method, reducing the difficulty by "necromancy" themselves.

That is a practice of abandoning one's identity and potential as a "living being" and "compressing" information.

The main purpose is to preserve the ability to cast spells.

He himself did not possess the talents of demons or devils, nor did he intend to emulate the lich.

All these things must be accomplished through divine intervention at the level of a deity.

"From an arcane perspective, this is a concept from self-psychology..."

In the eyes of wizards, it shares a similar semantic and meaningual connection with the concepts of "divine descent," "possession," and "Avatar."

The key lies in this high-level ritual called "divine possession".

It is achieved through the performance of specific rituals and the formation of a sacred covenant…

Another day, Roy gathered various materials and became even more certain of the path he was about to take.

This is how many celestial beings intervene in the material world through the hands of mortals.

Roy spent some time using his masterful skills to inscribe the relevant rune array into it.

Then, he went into seclusion in secret to carry out the final refinement.

……

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

When Roy refined the gem again to further improve this crucial item, he truly felt the direct boost brought by the [Alchemy Master] skill.

Originally, with his current theoretical knowledge, technical skills, magic, mental strength, and other conditions, he was already quite capable.

None of them are sufficient to refine such a treasure.

However, with the support of the Silver-level talent [Alchemy Master], the inherent shortcomings of a Level 2 Wizard can be easily and simply compensated for.

This also allowed the refining of Soul Gems to proceed rapidly.

In the next few short months, Roy completed it completely.

"Roy's Soul Stone (Level 3)..."

A soul container crafted from the essence of a special magical ore, capable of serving as a vessel for a high-level soul.

Capacity limit: 12000…

Durability: 100%...

Sanctification level: 95%...

Special effects: "Entering the realm of the divine..."

To be on the safe side, Roy chose the "Divine Intervention" special effect!
This is exactly the attribute that "Soul Gems" can grant, and their effect is to increase the completeness and success rate of Divine Infusion.

Roy raised the Soul Gem in his hand.

It is as small as a walnut, as brilliant as a diamond, and contains a dazzling brilliance like that of stars.

After carefully examining it, he decisively began the ritual of "spiritual entry into one's own body".

Right there in the alchemy room, the Soul Gem slowly rose and hovered in the air.

Roy drank the "True Self Potion" that had been prepared beforehand, and then lay down on the small operating table.

Soon, as if losing life, the spirit and soul of his entire body dimmed.

Instead, the surrounding magic arrays appeared.

Streams of energy emanated from it, transforming into light that shone into the soul gem in the sky.

The runes inside lit up, emitting a dazzling light.

"Soul upload in progress..."

1%……2%……3%……

In my mind, it was as if another voice of my own had appeared, broadcasting intermittently.

The whole process lasted a full day.

Before Freya, who was waiting at the door, could even begin to worry, the progress had already reached 100%.

When Roy regained consciousness, the first thing he felt was that he was like a void spirit, floating in the dark void.

Unnecessary weightlessness, or the concepts of front, back, left, right, up, and down.

This is a state of "existence" that seems self-existent, eternal, and unchanging.

After a while, I felt that this pitch-black void also seemed to have a boundary.

The feeling of having a body again, and having gravity, or concepts like front, back, left, right, up, and down, re-emerged.

But unlike when it resided in my body in the past, my mind was unusually active at this moment, and my memories seemed to be readily accessible and searchable, emerging through the kaleidoscope-like lenses.

Small screens, resembling fragments of mirrors, appeared in the surrounding void, broadcasting different channels amidst a flurry of chaotic thoughts.

When his attention is focused on a certain point, it merges into a large "screen".

"It really worked!"

I remember everything from the past perfectly!

Roy felt neither sorrow nor joy.

Because they are temporarily detached from the body, they no longer have the concepts of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

What he cares about is that he has truly broken free from the limitations of his past physical body and possesses the characteristics of a pure spiritual being.

The next moment, he used his spiritual senses to "see" a lifeless and soulless shell lying below.

That was the body of a sorcerer with the bloodline of the feathered serpent god.

Roy then manipulated the Soul Gem to re-enter this body and directly embed it deep within the pineal gland, between the eyebrows.

That is the location of the third eye in folk legends.

In fact, it is a crucial connection point rich in nerves, and also the site where many monster cores grow.

He no longer needs the brain of an ordinary being; he can use it as a tool to aid memory or thinking.

However, to activate it, you still need to interact directly with the nerves.

This is the safest position to be stationed here.

When the radiance of the Soul Gem faded, the body reopened its eyes.

Roy leaned back and looked at his palm.

At that moment, he seemed to feel that he was different from before.

It was a feeling of heightened spiritual awareness, a direct connection with heaven and earth, no longer a barrier between us.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the distance, numerous ethereal starlight appeared, with faint rays of light flowing towards them.

"That's... the God of Wishes in the world of Alaki?"

Roy paused slightly, then summoned the Holy Grail.

The liquid inside rippled slightly, and it was as if it had truly received the power of wishes formed from the condensation of starlight!
******
"Lord Roy, how are you feeling?"

Shortly after, Roy came out of the room.

Freya quickly came to greet her.

Angel Alice, the big black cat Domi, Adai No. 1, the ghost maid, and many others also flocked to the scene.

"So warm..."

"Your spiritual essence seems to have changed; it's as warm as the sun!"

"Idiot, this is radiation from witchcraft energy!"
The "activation magic" on the master has gone out of control again! Run!

A moment later, Domi meowed and ran away in a flash.

Ah-Dai No. 1, the Ghost Maid, and others all seemed to have been crushed into thin sheets by a steamroller, drifting away.

Even Freya felt as if her body was melting like a block of wax. Just being exposed to the light caused her skin and flesh to be eroded by the "activation technique".

Only Alice remained completely unaffected by this.

Roy returned to his room, his body going limp like a white snake, coiling into a ball.

He is currently in an unstable state, about to advance from level two to level three, and his soul has undergone a transfer to a new vessel.

It will take some time to adapt and adjust before you can fully master it.

However, Roy soon sensed that something was amiss.

"It doesn't seem to be due to an out-of-control energy, but rather the [wise words]!"
This innate ability seems to be more closely integrated with my soul!

When Roy sensed this.

In the natal chart.

Multiple souls were pierced.

Then, the halo projected by the six gemstones appeared.

He suddenly realized that the special effects brought about by this origin-level talent seemed to be truly revealing their true form at this moment!
Roy's Soulstone was enveloped in a dazzling, colorless light, making its already clear and transparent diamond state even more transparent and ethereal.

next moment……

"Sanctification level: 99%...100%"

They simply vanished into thin air.

Then, it appeared in the very center of the natal chart!
It too transformed into stars!

……

a few days later.

Roy finally emerged from the mansion.

"Have you finally brought the magical energy under control, preventing it from radiating and corrupting the surroundings?"

Pramie cautiously approached him and felt around for a while.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong, I was finally relieved.

"Meow!"

Domi is walking with a limp.

She walked over with a swaying gait.

The big black cat rubbed against his trouser leg and looked up at him with a pitiful expression.

This poor guy's body was stretched out because he received too much radiation!

It is now three times the length of a normal cat.

Thanks to the fact that it was Roy's magical pet, even with this level of energy leakage, there was no substantial damage.

Roy lifted Domi by the neck, and magical energy began to circulate.

After a short while, the cat's body gradually shrank, finally returning to its normal state.

Freya approached and said, “Lord Roy, your magical energy seems to possess a constant and perpetual property. I have spent a long time trying to eliminate its effects.”

"Oh?"

Roy grabbed her arm and looked at it.

Sure enough, the skin on it showed signs of "melting," with layers of wrinkles resembling snake scales.

"My spiritual essence and magical energy have entered a completely new realm."

Perhaps it really is possible to be like the wizards in fairy tales, turning princes into frogs and princesses into snake spirits, and keeping them transformed for many years!

Roy slightly circulated his energy, helping to deactivate it.

Freya looked at her arm, which had returned to normal, and said in surprise, "Even formal wizards are not exempt?"

This is truly amazing!

"I'm not entirely sure if that's actually the case."

However, once I successfully condense the source of magic and advance to become a level three wizard, I should be able to do it, right?

Roy said vaguely.

In fact, the role played by the soul is greater.

Soon after, Roy sat down in the alchemy workshop building and briefly looked through the documents on the table.

The girl's skull floated over and said, "These past few days, we've had a slight backlog of ordinary requests, but what's more noteworthy is an unusual matter..."

"What's unusual?"

Roy looked up and asked a question.

"Gova, the blacksmith across the square, has applied for leave."

His reason was that his daughter had just recovered from a serious illness and needed new medicinal herbs to aid her recovery.

Therefore, I am worried that I will not be able to perform my duties in the short term.

At the same time, the wizard Tikel was also commissioned to concoct a potion to stabilize the soul.

This kind of thing is not easy to make; it takes a lot of time and effort.

"Such a thing actually happened? Has the fortress received approval?"

"It should be under consideration."

……

the following few days.

Roy's alchemy workshop resumed operations, and he began to use his [Alchemy Master] ability to speed up production, greatly increasing production speed and product quality.

This is to make up for previous debts.

At the same time, it also serves as a test of the synergy between [Sage's Words] and [Alchemy Master].

"The body of a wise person is not that of a brute."

It is the foundation of health, enduring the trials of wind and rain, and the erosion of time.

With a strong body, we can travel far, shoulder heavy responsibilities, and stay true to our original aspirations.

This entry is granted the special effect: Physique +108!

After a moment of heartfelt prayer, Roy poured his spirit into completing the enchantment selection for [Master Alchemist].

time.

An ordinary piece of aesthetic jewelry has been endowed with a powerful physique at the level of a second-level biological being.

At the same time, the starlight at the very center of the soul's shadow reflected in the natal chart dims.

"Sure enough, the soul energy has been transferred!"

It has been infused into a tangible entity!

Roy sensed it and discovered that this transfer was both temporary and permanent.

The next moment, he reached out and touched it.

The gem, which had previously possessed powerful enhancements, immediately lost its energy.

Instead, the radiance deep within one's soul is restored.

After that, he looked at the empty shell of the jewelry and was even more surprised to find that it contained a structure similar to a natural magic array.

Roy immediately retrieved some Soul Stone fragments, extracted their spirituality, and filled them into the fragments.

Soon after, the faint light was rekindled like a spark.

This jewel has once again acquired the affix "Sage's Body" and its corresponding magical effects.

"Physical strength +5 degrees..."

"I can now freely control the blessings of these six attributes by filling them with spirituality."

However, this is subject to limitations imposed by the materials themselves.

Moreover, it cannot exceed the limits of my current "wise words of wisdom"!

After confirming this.

Roy waved, attracting Domi, who was playing nearby, over.

"In my name I bless you!"

As the dim light rose, a circular halo appeared behind its head.

The next moment, "All attributes +108 degrees," the full version of the [Sage's Proverb] effect...
