Chapter 154 Magic Transformation
in the laboratory,

A terrified Orc, bound to the spot by a petrification spell, watched Dewi approach him.

Dui covered his nose in disgust.

These orcs were like wild beasts, dirty and smelly.

He quickly cast several cleansing spells to remove the odor from Oak before daring to approach.

Then he raised his wand, pointed it at the Orc, and cast a Transfiguration Charm.

Orc's body expanded and deformed rapidly and uncontrollably, turning into a small dragon resembling Smaug.

Although it is a small dragon, it is still dozens of meters long and many times larger than Dui in front of it.

Orc, who had transformed into a giant dragon, resumed his movements. He was a little panicked at first, but looking at the tiny Dui in front of him, he became more and more fearful and bit towards Dui.

"Crucia!" Dui raised his hand expressionlessly and cast a Cruciatus Curse.

The Orc, who had turned into a dragon, collapsed to the ground in pain, roaring in agony.

Dui had no interest in torturing the other party. After teaching it a lesson, he turned the dragon back into an orc with some disappointment.

Although he knew that Transfiguration could not truly transform one creature into another, the result before him still disappointed him.

Although the Orc transformed into the appearance of a dragon, this dragon was only in form. It had neither the ability to breathe fire nor the power of a dragon. In essence, it was still an Orc with the appearance of a dragon.

However, Dui had already been mentally prepared, so he was not too disappointed.

After all, if he could use Transfiguration to transform an Orc into a real dragon, then he would probably be close to becoming a god.

He then cast the Transfiguration Charm on Oak once again.

However, this time, when he cast the spell, he was not only trying to deform the Orc's appearance, but also trying to forcibly break the magic cycle within the Orc's body and transform it into Beorn's magic cycle.

However, as soon as he broke the cycle of magic in Oak's body, the magic became chaotic and violent.

The next second, Oak was torn into pieces by the violent magic power in his body, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Dewi cast the Iron Armor Charm just in time to avoid being covered in blood by the Orcs.

Seeing the first test subject disappear like that, Dui frowned and waved his hand to clean up the sticky stuff on the ground.

Then he went to the cell where the Orcs were imprisoned and brought out two Orcs.

Throwing one of them aside to become petrified, Dui cast another Transfiguration spell on the Orc.

But this time, he did not rashly break the magic cycle in Oak's body.

Instead, he chose a small loop and tried to turn it into part of Beorn's loop.

This time the magic within the Orcs was not disordered, and the deformed magic cycle was replaced by Beorn's magic cycle.

Dui was delighted and continued to change the magic circuit in Oak's body bit by bit.

This is a very delicate physical job. Dui not only needs to concentrate fully without any distraction, but also needs to maintain a continuous input of magic power to prevent the magic balance in Oak's body from being broken.

Otherwise, his fate would probably be the same as the previous Oak, exploding and dying.

As time passed, sweat began to appear on Dui's forehead.

But with a moment of distraction, the circulation of magic in Oak's body suddenly became unbalanced.

The magical cycle belonging to the Orcs themselves coexists with the magical cycle of Beorn, and a conflict arises.

Dui instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately cast a shield in front of him.

Oak became extremely painful, his body was twisted and deformed, and he felt extremely painful.

However, contrary to Dui's expectations, Oak did not explode, but was deformed. His body arched, his limbs twisted and crawling on the ground, he grew sharp claws, and his ugly face had a protruding mouth and fangs.

Eventually, it turned into a deformed, extremely ugly-looking half-orc, half-bear monster.

If the Orcs before were still humanoid creatures, the Orcs now can really be called orcs.

Dui tried to cast a transformation and recovery spell, but it had no effect. The oak had completely changed into its current appearance.

Even the magic circulation in the body has become a hybrid mutation of the Skinchanger and Orc magic circulation.

Dui shook his head and waved his wand to freeze the orc who had lost his mind and was roaring at him like a wild beast.

With another wave, it was sent to the giant spider breeding room and given to the newly hatched giant spiders as food.

Then he looked at another Oak, whose eyes were filled with fear and despair, waved his hand to summon him over, and continued with the next round of experiments...

In the days that followed, he spent most of his time in the laboratory.

Under the transformation spell, all kinds of strange-looking Orcs appeared, some covered with bear hair, some with bear heads and Orc bodies, some half-bear and half-orc, some with bear-like limbs, some even with bear bodies and Orc skins... and so on.

Without exception, all of these failed products were given to the giant spider as food.

Until this day, Dui chose the Orc leader Salzog as an experimental subject.

Salzog looked at the wizard before him with horror and fear. He knew that all the Orks who had been taken away had been used for experiments, and without exception, none of them had reappeared. Their fate was self-evident.

He wanted to beg for mercy and was even willing to be a slave, but the other party did not give him the opportunity and simply froze him, making him unable to make a sound.

In his eyes, the wizard in front of him was even more terrifying than his former master, the Dark Lord.

If there was a pill to take to regret, he would have wanted to leave Gram Mountain early and hide somewhere farther away.

Duike didn't care what Salzog thought. After these days of experiments and consuming more than fifty orcs, he had already gained a certain grasp of magical transformation.

So he was confident in this experiment.

Then he cast the Transfiguration Spell again with ease, his eyes focused and attentive.

Little by little, very patiently, he changed the magic cycle in Salzog's body.

Even though his face was covered in sweat and he was extremely tired, he still didn't dare to relax for a moment.

It was not until Beorn's magic cycle completely replaced the magic cycle in the Orcs' bodies that Dui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The Orc leader Salzog had a look of pain on his face, and his body quickly swelled and twisted. In Dui's expectant eyes, he turned into an ugly and ferocious giant bear.

The giant bear was smaller than Beorn, but still as big as a mountain, and could easily kill an orc with one of its feet.

The giant bear exudes a dark aura, just like a demon bear!
A smile appeared on Dui's face. He felt the magic from the giant bear.

Although it leans towards darkness, which is not Beorn's natural attribute, it is no longer an ordinary bear.

"Break into pieces!" Dui shot a spell at the giant bear.

The giant bear felt pain and, controlled by its wildness, instinctively roared at its attacker.

The spell that could have killed Orc only left a scar on the giant bear, and the scar was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Crucia!" Seeing the giant bear attacking him, Dui cast a Crucia curse directly.

After the giant bear loses its ability to resist in pain, use the Imperius Curse to control it.

"Now, try to change back to your original form." Dui ordered the giant bear.

The giant bear had empty eyes and instinctively followed Dui's orders, trying hard to change back to its original form.

The giant bear's body kept shrinking, its bones reorganized, and finally it turned back into the appearance of an oak.

Thus, the first "skin-changer" of the Orc race appeared in the world.

In the following days, Dui concentrated on studying this perfect experimental subject, studying the changes in the magic cycle when it switched forms, and the switching points that controlled the changes.

After thoroughly studying and finding nothing more to learn from Salzog, Dui cast a spell to kill him and then threw him to be eaten by a giant spider.

After mastering the secret of Beorn's transformation, Dewi did not immediately begin to experiment on himself.

After all, what he wanted was to upgrade the Animagus, not to be able to transform into a giant bear like Beorn.

Next, he studied the magic circulation systems of the dragon Smaug, the basilisk Herpo, and the giant eagle Thorondor, and studied the differences between them.

He once tried to transform the magic in an orc's body into the magic circulation method of a dragon.

But the little magic power in Oak's body was obviously not enough to support the form of a dragon. Before the magical transformation was completed, Oak's magic power was directly drained away, and even his vitality was sucked away, and he instantly turned into a mummy.

He then tried to transform the orcs one by one into basilisks and giant eagles through magic.

Suddenly there appeared orcs covered with snake scales, human bodies with snake heads, orc heads with snake bodies, etc., as well as human bodies with eagle heads, orcs with wings, orc heads with eagle bodies, and other strange creatures.

Moreover, the magic power in Oak's body is simply not enough to support its transformation into a complete basilisk and giant eagle.

However, Dui also discovered that whether it was a dragon, a basilisk, or a giant eagle, the way their magic circulation operated was basically the same. The only difference was in the subtle details.

Seeing this, Dui went to the Troll Forest to capture a few trolls, and went to the Misty Mountains to capture a few wolves to increase the number of samples.

He summarized the magic circulation systems of all samples and began to try to create new magic circulation methods himself.

In the following days, the number of orcs decreased sharply. Some of them exploded and died, while others turned into various monsters.

When there were only a few orcs left, Dui began to think about whether to catch more orcs.

Maybe it was pure luck, but when he was performing a new magical transformation on an Orc, he had an idea and incorporated the runic symbol representing fire into it. The Orc actually transformed into a giant firebird!

The firebird is half the size of an adult giant eagle, its feathers are red-black, and it can spit out flames!

Dui looked at the firebird in front of him with surprise and wide eyes.

This was an unexpected change caused by his fusion of the magic circulation system of the dragon and giant eagle, plus a fire rune.

Although the firebird in front of him was far inferior to the phoenix in his imagination, it had already exceeded his original psychological expectations.

He quickly recorded the magic circulation system in the firebird's body.

His future Animagus advancement would depend on it!
