Death Wizard Diary.

Chapter 230 The New Body

Who else has free access to the second warehouse?

This requires no thought.

Unexpectedly, two top figures from the Wizard Tower came to witness Thor's transformation of his wizard body.

This made the young apprentice feel somewhat flattered.

However, after the initial surprise, I felt that it was only natural.

The carefully nurtured little sprouts are growing again, so naturally we have to be careful not to let them grow crooked.

Thor's physical transformation was no secret to those two beings; they simply looked at it.

Thor climbed out of the sarcophagus. "Did you let me in?"

Tiny algae tentacles.

"good."

Thor sat back down at the lab table, looking at his "restored" hands, and put his thoughts back on the modification experiment.

Thor took out paper and pen and began to record the changes in himself before and after the transformation.

First, the skin is no longer translucent and the bones are visible, but it still appears as a pale, light gray.

They looked more like corpses than living people.

When Saul clenched his fist and gently patted the back of his hand, you could even see the veins bulging slightly.

"Are the blood vessels under the skin real? My arm seems to have regrown back to its original shape due to the effects of flesh magic."

Thor picked up the knife, intending to cut open the skin to observe whether the internal tissues had fully recovered or were merely a mimicry disguised by the witch body modification.

But when he gripped the knife tightly and applied gentle force, his grayish-white skin sank slightly with the tip of the knife, and no wound appeared.

Thor exerted force again.

Although he felt pressure on his left hand, which had been cut, it was not actually cut open, and he didn't even feel much pain.

"It has tactile feedback, but its pain sensitivity is relatively dull."

On the contrary, the knife in his hand could not withstand the pressure, and the blade began to bend and deform.

Thor simply abandoned the dagger in his hand and directly cast an "arrow spell" on the skin.

However, the arrow, enhanced by magic, shattered the moment it hit the skin, and the tip broke off and flew away.

Thor still only felt a dull ache, which wasn't very noticeable.

He picked up the arrowhead and squeezed it hard, and the arrowhead immediately deformed.

"The strength is greater than before, and the skin is many times tougher. The dexterity of my fingers remains the same, but the sense of touch has become duller, requiring readjustment and adaptation."

So recalled the changes he had observed in the elbow cross-section during his modification, and quickly rolled up his sleeves to check.

But when the cuffs were rolled up above the elbows, the exposed skin was still the same as Thor's hands now.

They are all grayish-white.

He quickly ran his hand down his arm to his shoulder and chest, and the sensation made his heart skip a beat. He then simply took off his outer robe and shirt.

The scene before him left Thor completely dumbfounded.

His upper body had also turned completely grayish-white.

He quickly rolled up his trouser legs, then, unwilling to give up, unbuckled his belt. Looking down, he exclaimed, "Why has my whole body changed?"

Somewhat bewildered, Saul dressed, rummaged through the lab equipment for a mirror, and looked inside...

Sure enough, the skin on his face was not spared either.

Now Thor's entire skin has turned light gray, except for his hair and eyes, which are still black.

Although Thor had a vague premonition that the gray solution would affect his entire body after seeing it corrode his skin and seep into his blood vessels, he didn't expect it to be this thorough.

"This should belong to the instinct of devouring and modifying within flesh and blood sorcery. I never expected that the first thing it would modify would be myself."

Thor also noticed that his arms and body were no longer as thin as before. The original owner had suffered from malnutrition for many years and lack of sleep due to fear, which meant that Thor had not yet made up for the gap in his growth and development.

After the modification, it seems to have become stronger.

Especially in the biceps and triceps of the arms, a thin layer of muscle can already be seen.

"The new gray solution not only seeped into my bloodstream, but it also improved my physical condition. But what is the basis for this improvement?"

Saul stood up and examined his trousers closely.

It's gotten tighter and a little shorter.

"After this transformation, I grew at least three centimeters taller."

Although he's not exactly tall yet, he's at least caught up with his peers.

"It's hard to say whether this change is a one-off event or will last for a while. I'll record my data every day from now on."

To verify his hypothesis, Thor measured all the data on his body and observed it regularly.

He returned to the lab bench, picked up his modified formula, and analyzed the reasons for these changes.

If you already have the correct answer, working backwards to solve the problem is easier than solving it directly.

"The changes in skin and body tissues are mainly due to the flesh-and-blood magic in the formula. So what effect does the plastic bone have?"

To test the resilience of his skin once again, he took out a very sharp steel needle and used seventy percent of his strength to finally pierce his palm.

Immediately, a drop of red blood seeped out from under the skin.

The pain also became more pronounced.

When Thor squinted and focused his mental energy to look over, he saw fine, gray particles in the blood bead.

These particles are invisible to the naked eye, but become very noticeable under the influence of meditation.

They are evenly distributed in the blood.

When Saul examined the drop of blood on the instrument, he found that the blood's properties had not changed much, but its vitality had become slightly more active than before.

Specifically, when Thor bent down to try and draw more blood, he found that he couldn't even find a wound.

"The recovery ability has also improved, which is not bad. So far, the results of the modification are all positive. However, I don't have any soul fragments at the moment, so I can't verify the changes in the properties of the spirit ester in the plastic bone."

But there's no rush, he has plenty of time.

The next step is to check the most important thing: whether the harmony between body and soul has improved.

Thor closed his eyes again and began to meditate.

When his mental energy began to circulate, he was pleasantly surprised to find that his body was very adaptable to the influx of mental and magical energy, and would even actively help with the transmission.

This feeling is novel.

Thor's body had never resisted his meditation and spellcasting before, but it had never been as cooperative as it was today.

If we were to use a metaphor, it would be that before, Saul entered a cold, empty house, but today there are his parents in the house. As soon as he gets home, they urge him to change his clothes and wash his hands, and then they set out a table full of steaming hot food.

Thor was flattered and inexplicably moved.

"It seems that this body only fully accepted my soul after the transformation."

Thinking about the gray particles in his blood, Thor gradually began to have a guess.

"A key step in this transformation was that I infused the potion with my mental energy. This caused a change in the potion that I had never designed."

"The new gray solution has an additional raw material: my spiritual power. It is my spiritual power, or rather, my soul, that activated the complete drug reaction. So when the transformation permeated my entire body, this body naturally took on the shape of my soul."

It is likely that the tower master was aware of this, which is why he instructed him to refer to flesh and blood witchcraft to resolve the incompatibility between spirit and flesh.

Before being tricked by Kismet, Ralph was able to devour others without losing himself because he used his own soul as the foundation of the potion.

As long as his core remains unchanged, no matter how many people he devours or how much his physical body changes, it will not affect the essence of his Ralph identity.

Conversely, when his spirit malfunctioned, his body was transformed into a strange shape by Kismet.

"So, the problem of astral projection... is that solved?"

Saul immediately sat down in the chair and began the actual verification.

The method of verification, of course, is to actively perform an out-of-body experience.

He closed his eyes, circulated his spiritual energy, imitated the erosion diagram, and got up to walk.

At first, the spirit did not react at all and remained peacefully inside the body.

It wasn't until Thor intensified his meditation that he felt a sticky sensation.

Then, he clearly felt the spirit body slightly displaced from his body, as if it was about to leave his body, but there was a pulling force coming from inside his body, as if it really didn't want Thor's spirit body to leave.

Thor sensed that if he persisted, he could still leave his body. But he didn't try again and instead obediently returned to his body.

"Just as I expected!" Thor opened his eyes. "Once the body is transformed into the shape of a soul, it's no longer so easy for the soul to leave the body."

Previously, Thor's soul leaving his body was like taking off his coat, but now it's like "tearing off a layer of skin," so the two are naturally worlds apart.

"That solves the problem of my soul leaving my body from time to time!" Thor smiled with satisfaction.

The only thing that Thor couldn't figure out was that he didn't find any trace of the original owner's soul during this transformation.

"Did I guess wrong, or is it just too well hidden?"

Saul sat back in his chair, twirling his pen incessantly.

"I must have misjudged it before. No ordinary person's soul could possibly last that long."

Thor suddenly remembered the spirit infusion experiment he had participated in.

In that experiment, the spirit of a first-level apprentice was stuffed into the body of a deceased second-level apprentice.

This situation is actually very similar to his.

However, the compatibility between their souls and bodies was far too poor. So much so that even the transmission of perception was completely different. Even the genders of their souls and bodies couldn't be the same, otherwise they wouldn't be able to enter the new body.

In comparison, Saul's problem is much smaller.

"Maybe one day I can look at the experimental records of spirit infusion again. Maybe I can find the real reason why my soul and my original body are not compatible. Uh...maybe I can even help them solve the biggest gender problem in spirit infusion."

Putting that aside for now, Thor continued testing.

Now it's harvest time again—a test of magic and mental strength.

He picked up the black crystal ball and infused it with magic at maximum intensity.

Based on the changes displayed by the black crystal ball, his magic power... has exceeded one hundred!

Anything higher than that is beyond the range that the crystal ball can accurately measure, and a different instrument must be used, or a more precise measurement must be taken in the registration room.

"It's only been two months since we entered the second tier," Thor said, unable to hide his pride. "I'll tell Claire the good news later."

He could already picture Keli's demeanor changing from stunned silence to disbelief, to uncontrollable rage, and finally to her haughty chin as she vowed to overtake him.

Thinking about this made Thor feel even better.
