Chapter 44 The Art of Soul Transference
Experimental Project: Skin Armor Transplantation in Horned Lizards.
Experimental objective: To give humans the skin armor and characteristics of a horned lizard.
Experimental procedure: The human body and the horned lizard's hide exhibited a severe rejection reaction!
Experiment result: Failure.
Participation rate in the experiment: 100%.
Experiment difficulty: 0+.
Experiment score: 10 points.
Total experimental score: 282.
Hick sensed the progress of the experiment in his mind and felt no surprise. The chances of success for this experiment were not high to begin with, but he still wanted to try his idea.
How many points are needed to successfully force an experiment?
A forced experiment requires 200 experiment points to succeed.
"What if we didn't use all the leather armor, but only a small portion of the horned lizard's leather armor?"
[...A forced experiment requires 400 experiment points to succeed.]
Feeling the answer in his mind, Hick hesitated for a moment and felt that it was not worth it just for the human body to have the ability to wear leather armor. Moreover, he didn't know how long it would take to cover the whole body after transplanting a few pieces of armor.
With that thought, Hick stopped paying attention to the lifeless criminal lying on the experimental table.
Without the slightest hesitation, he took off his gloves, which were stained with a few drops of blood and some unknown slime, and casually tossed them into the sludge bin in the corner, as if discarding a piece of trash.
He left the metal table and the failed "work" behind and pushed open the heavy iron door of the laboratory.
"Boss Hick, how did it go?"
Kurt, standing at the door, clearly had no interest in the life or death of the experimental subject.
Hick waved his hand casually and asked the question that concerned him.
"It's alright. Where's the thing I asked Andy to find?"
Without hesitation, Kurt replied, "Does the place where monsters are raised need to be sent over?"
"Bring it over!"
"clear!"
Before long, several apprentices arrived at the laboratory, pulling several wooden cages with them.
The cage was filled with a cacophony of squeaking and the pecking of beaks against the wooden bars, a sound of restlessness filling the air.
"Uncover it." Hick's voice carried a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.
The apprentices obeyed and ripped off the black cloth. Instantly, a smell mixed with bird feathers, damp wood chips, and a faint, dark aura filled the air.
A completely black crow, or rather, a raven!
Looking at the dozens of ravens in the wooden cage, Hick's eyes were filled with excitement, and he also recalled the legends about ravens.
Ravens are a very common type of monster, but due to their terrifying adaptability, they can be found anywhere on the continent.
Their adaptability doesn't stop there. In places with abundant fire element, they become fire-attribute monsters, and in places with abundant water element, they become water-attribute monsters.
If you take a water-type raven to a place with abundant fire element, its element will soon change to fire.
This incredible adaptability is the key to their widespread distribution across the continent.
Unfortunately, the maximum power of this monster is only equivalent to that of a third-level apprentice, which makes countless wizards sigh with regret.
Otherwise, with their extraordinary racial talents, they should have been the most favored magical pets.
What Hick was facing was something Andy and his men had captured from the Silent Forest; its attributes were naturally darkness and shadow.
The reason Hick was so excited to see these ravens was because of a secret technique he had discovered before—
The Art of Soul Transference!
This technique originated from the bat transformation technique used by vampires to save their lives, and was created by a genius wizard.
Its core lies in: differentiating the power of blood pacts, while simultaneously contracting a large number of similar-sized, weak-willed monsters of the same kind.
Traditional wizard blood pacts typically bind only one magical pet per person. To change, the old pact must first be broken, a difficult and costly process.
Besides helping their masters, the most important function of magical pets is to die in their place.
However, this would make it even more difficult to form blood pacts with other monsters.
Moreover, the blood-bound demon that can take the place of its master must be of similar strength.
That genius wizard developed the "Soul Transfer Technique" based on the characteristics of blood pact substitution and the bat transformation technique!
By dividing the power of the blood pact, creating numerous appropriately sized, weak-willed monsters of the same species, the vampire bat transformation technique can be used to create multiple monsters at any time, ensuring that any one that escapes will not die.
The vampire's bat transformation technique is a more powerful life-saving secret technique than the wizard's elemental transformation, which is also an important reason why vampires are difficult to kill.
This genius wizard became famous throughout the wizarding world because of this secret technique!
But as that genius wizard grew up, he stopped using this secret technique himself.
Because it's impossible to find a large number of similar monsters that are of similar strength, suitable size, and lack strong will.
Then he revealed the Soul Transfer Technique because the secret technique was no longer useful to him at that time, and because too many people coveted it.
The wizards who obtained this secret technique, upon studying it, also discovered its flaws.
If a large number of similarly powerful monsters of the same species cannot be found, then the blood pact will remain the same and will not achieve the effect of the vampire bat transformation technique.
High-level wizards can't use it, and low-level wizards can't use it either.
This secret technique requires extremely high levels of mental and magical power.
"A soul-binding technique even more powerful than the wizard's elementalization!"
Thinking of the description of this secret technique in the book, Hick's heart was filled with excitement.
Others may not be able to find a large number of similar monsters with comparable strength, but I can!
As long as you have enough experiment points, you can just modify the monster!
As for powerful magic and mental strength...
He touched his heart and, upon seeing the meditation method he had practiced that was perfectly suited to him, smiled.
Holding the "Soul Transfer Technique" he had taken from his mentor's private library, Hick felt that heaven was looking out for him!
I discovered the existence of this secret technique when I was looking for an experimental manual in the public library, but it was just an introduction.
As it turned out, I found it in my supervisor's private library a few days later.
Thinking back to those "protagonists" in my past life who, after learning a certain secret technique, had to go through countless hardships and dangers to obtain it...
"I really am a villain! Ha! Ha! Ha!"
Looking at the inexplicably excited Hick, the apprentices felt a chill run down their spines, after all, Hick's name was now extremely well-known in the Wizard Tower!
After all, hundreds of apprentices had died under that conscription, so it was hard for these few apprentices not to be terrified.
Hick clearly didn't notice the expressions on the apprentices' faces, or perhaps he didn't care even if he did, and gave the order:
"Take them to the lab and tidy it up while you're at it."
Seeing Hick's interest in the ravens, Kurt said:
"Boss, should I send men to arrest a few more?"
Hick waved his hand casually: "No need, if these succeed, they will come to us on their own."
"Also, has the recruitment of new apprentices already begun?"
Kurt replied, "Yes, boss. The loss of apprentices is too great. Several groups of veteran apprentices have already gone to recruit new apprentices."
"Tell them to be careful, lest another Krall appears!"
Kurt repeatedly assured him:
"Don't worry, boss, that's absolutely impossible!"
