Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Surging Spirit
"Success!"
Roy watched as the "Black Mamba" moved about, seemingly trying to adapt to its new body, and felt a surge of joy and genuine relief.
This idea actually came from the Soul Binding Demon Armor, but the method of implementation was through the innate Alchemy Talent of [Equivalent Exchange]...
It relied on the natural cycle of the world, unlike the Soul Binding Demon Armor, which depended on continuously tormenting souls to draw power.
"Among all living creatures, the Soul Rank of snakes is only Bronze, and even within the Bronze Caste, they are considered relatively low.
Because they are cold-blooded animals, they might develop a certain level of trust with their owner and become accustomed to living together.
But they lack emotions and the interactive nature of cats and dogs."
Roy recalled the contents of "Soul Studies" he had learned for the Golem.
However, it seems there is always a certain balance in all things.
Precisely because snake spirits are low-level and their soul characteristics are simple, they are easier to refine.
Whether from the perspective of spirituality, intelligence, or anything else, the successfully preserved soul remains relatively intact.
This can be evidenced by the "Humanoid Angel" lying inside the Spatial Ring.
...
"Your aura has grown stronger, but it has also become more dangerous."
Not long after, Celine from next door came over, looked at him for a while, and spoke.
She had once felt the aura of the Source of Magic from Sophia.
But now, not only was Roy's Source of Magic stronger than hers, it was also in an unstable state on the verge of losing control.
Atedia, standing behind her, felt the same.
This aura was strong enough to make even her, an advanced knight, feel danger.
Getting too close was like being scorched by the sun, with a faint sense of dizziness.
Only by moving slightly away did the feeling weaken.
This made her somewhat horrified, increasing her reverence for the power of Wizards.
Roy said, "Indeed, this radiation will continuously demonize the surrounding things!
My main focus is the 'Animation Art.' If I stay in one place for too long, I can even animate the surroundings, making them come alive as if they had life.
This is harmful to ordinary living beings.
During this time, be careful not to get too close to me."
With that, he returned to his room, closed the door, and began to ponder the matter.
The Flower Snake's ordeal was just the beginning.
If he didn't control the surging power, more creatures around him would die, and he wouldn't be able to handle them all.
Especially humans...
Humans belong to the Silver Caste, and the complexity of their consciousness and emotions is far beyond that of snakes.
If any team members suffered because of his loss of control, it would be impossible to save them!
This is also why Wizards are feared and hated by many creatures.
They are like humanoid calamities, bringing misfortune and death!
And when he observed the fluorescent light emitted by the radiation pollution from a meditative perspective, he was speechless to find that his body was translucent.
Especially around the waist and abdomen, it was almost spreading.
"Why do I look like a firefly!
I must find a way to solve this as soon as possible!"
Roy sighed inwardly and turned his attention to the Silver Battle Armor he was wearing.
"Wizardry Energy Radiation causes some changes in matter, and my main focus is the Animation Art, which seems to be useful for this kind of bionic skin?"
Can I guide it to absorb the naturally emitted Wizardry Energy from me, avoiding any impact on the surroundings while continuously growing and strengthening?
This is akin to artificially accelerating the maturation process of Enchanted Items. Worn long enough, it can evolve!"
Roy thought and acted.
Indeed, after some adjustments, the artificial meat's properties changed, and the leaked magic became much weaker.
This approach seems correct.
...
Over the next few days.
Roy continued to work on the artificial skin, improving its properties.
His Mental Strength also continued to grow.
11 degrees, 12 degrees, 13 degrees...
After a full six days, the magic was continuously digested and absorbed.
Roy felt his Mental Strength had risen to a full 16 degrees before he quietly stopped.
Even so, the increase in Mental Strength still lagged behind the Source of Magic, causing the latter to feel somewhat uncontrollable.
"The Magical Potion is still being digested. In another year or so, once fully absorbed, it's expected to reach over 20 degrees...
According to the usual practices of Wizards, one should find a secluded place to live in isolation, solving the issue of energy radiation through Meditation or other methods, to move freely.
However, I've allowed the Silver Battle Armor to gradually mutate and develop the ability to absorb it, fully enclosed, which can prevent a lot of trouble!"
At that moment, the Communication Crystal surged with magic.
Roy temporarily interrupted his work and approached it.
Lord Flosf's figure appeared.
"Roy, are you ready?
The latest novel is first published at 69shu.com!
You are to destroy the Bloodhoof Tribe.
Meet at the end of the month, and we'll officially take action!"
"It's finally time to act."
Roy's face was hidden beneath the face guard.
But in his eyes, a sharp edge was faintly visible.
...
After coming out, Roy relayed the message he received to everyone.
Everyone was equally excited.
In the last battle, they had gained quite a bit of benefit. This time, actively attacking the Bloodhoof Tribe, they were bound to gain even more.
As for resistance?
What resistance could the native Magical creatures possibly have?
It will surely be an easy and overwhelming victory!
"If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to exchange for enough resources to advance to a higher level. After that, it's all about personal talent."
"Lord Roy, could you apply to Lord Flosf on my behalf? I need a batch of Meditation Potions."
"Haha, having money really makes one speak boldly, 'a batch' of Meditation Potions..."
"Speaking of which, I'd also like to exchange for a few Enchanted Items."
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing.
"No problem, after we return, rewards will be distributed based on merit, and everything will be resolved."
Roy nodded and promised.
...
A few days later, it was March 30th.
Roy and the others arrived near the Bloodhoof Tribe as scheduled, meeting up with Tinas, Bessan, and Dony who had also come here.
They all brought their own subordinates.
Roy looked around and found a variety of otherworldly followers like blade mantis men, half-orcs, half-elves, all well-equipped.
Most of these were followers or even alien slaves under their personal names.
In comparison, Andov and Damo, though not exactly like a group of beggars, were indeed much shabbier.
"There's a kind of simple beauty to it!"
Roy's gaze was somewhat subtle, feeling a contrast between the "enemy team" and "our team."
"Greetings to the three lords."
Coming to his senses, he placed his hand over his chest and bowed to the three of them as a sign of respect for his seniors.
Tinas, whom he had already met before.
She was his senior fellow disciple.
The other two were seasoned veterans who had already graduated under other Wizards and were relatively older in age.
Due to their long lifespans, both of them appeared to be only in their thirties or forties, resembling middle-aged men.
