“Baaa~”
With a mournful cry, the three-eyed sheep demon purchased from the market let out a feeble bleat. Its insides had been transformed into a thick, soupy mess, leaving behind nothing but a light, fluttering skin that drifted downward.
The fallen sheepskin transformed into milky-white wax, which was then drawn, bit by bit, into the feet of the creature standing before Lynn.
“The corrosion capability needs improvement,” Lynn noted, holding a notebook. He had created a table documenting the time various experimental creatures withstood the corrosive effects of the wax.
Standing nearby was Lauren, who had undergone a dramatic transformation. Overall, he still resembled his previous lizard-man form, but the color of his scales had become more vibrant, resembling a brilliant green jade. Long, slender white spikes now adorned his joints, and his five slender claws were a pure white. Additionally, the tip of his tail featured retractable white bone spikes, giving Lauren a menacing appearance, almost like a mutated killing machine, yet still retaining an inexplicable elegant appearance.
Now, every spike on Lauren’s body, including his claws, could release a toxin with corrosive properties. Yes, it had transformed from a curse into a toxin.
This was a change discovered by Lynn.
On the white flesh, this corrosive ability resembled a curse, but now, after countless experiments and modifications, it had evolved into an impermanent toxin.
This toxin could turn targets into melted wax, which Lynn found could heal Lauren’s injuries and enhance his physical capabilities. It was akin to a unique form of devour-and-evolve ability, albeit with a somewhat slow process.
Additionally, Lauren inherited the liquid metal’s strong resistance to both magical and physical attacks. This resistance extended beyond his outer skin to his internal organs, though it was somewhat less effective due to being spread throughout his entire body.Even so, no one-ring offensive spell could harm him. Combined with his formidable physical defense, Lynn estimated Lauren’s overall strength to be somewhere between the third and fourth levels.
While impressive, it still fell short of the finished product Lynn had envisioned.
Lynn’s eyes flickered slightly.
Since the liquid metal was created using white flesh as the raw material, he wondered if Lauren could rapidly evolve by absorbing the powdered white flesh scraped from it. He hadn’t tried this yet because he was uncertain if the freshly scraped white flesh powder would possess a stronger wax-like corrosive ability.
If the experiment failed, Lauren would face certain death. However, if it succeeded, his strength could experience a significant surge.
“Alright, today’s experiment is over,” Lynn said, closing his notebook. He had filled over a dozen notebooks, meticulously documenting every detail of each experiment.
As the number of notebooks grew, Lynn found it increasingly inconvenient, even though his memory was excellent and he could recall many details. This was fine for now, but he couldn’t be sure he’d remember every detail as time passed—over ten, a hundred, or even a thousand years. Thus, he meticulously preserved all experimental data.
“Yes, master,” Lauren replied respectfully. The spikes that had emerged from his body retracted like blades sheathing, and his bright green scales locked into place, showing no signs of anything unusual.
Lynn waved his hand, and Lauren turned and left the laboratory.
After tidying up the laboratory, Lynn returned to his meditation chamber to begin his meditation.
As he entered a meditative state, in his sea of ??consciousness, the towering green light-shadowed mountain range grew brighter and more defined. Drawn by its presence, blue specks of light in the surrounding air were pulled in like a vacuum, creating a brief empty space.
Lynn continued his mental sketching until, finally, he completed the last line of the green mountain range.
The Hellfire Meditation technique had reached perfection!
He had spent nearly ten years mastering this meditation technique. Lynn felt a surge of emotion, recalling his early days of boarding the ship as if they were just yesterday.
Many wizard apprentices, eager to quickly enhance their mental strength, consumed large quantities of mind-stimulating drugs during their apprenticeship. Although no definitive study proved these stimulants were harmful, Lynn had opted for caution. Besides using potions to enhance meditation efficiency, he had avoided all other stimulants or supplements to boost mental strength.
Given his natural aptitude, which was already above average, Lynn found that his meditation abilities improved with each level he achieved. Now, enhancing his mental strength through meditation felt rather effortless. It had taken him just twelve years since he first delved into the world of wizards to reach the hundred-point threshold of mental strength necessary for advancing to an official wizard.
Such rapid progress was astonishing. Lynn had managed to perfect an advanced meditation technique, the Hellfire Meditation, in merely ten years.
For an ordinary human, ten years is a significant portion of their life; for a typical kingdom, it is but a minor chapter in its history; yet for a wizard who has truly stepped into the world of wizards, ten years might only represent the span of a single research project.
The culmination of his Hellfire Meditation brought Lynn a substantial reward: a two-ring spell—Netherflame Summoning. This was the first two-ring spell Lynn had mastered.
In theory, two-ring spells are commonly used by second-level wizards. This particular spell allowed Lynn to summon a pseudo-elemental creature known as netherflame from the depths of Hell, drawing it across the boundaries between worlds.
The strength of the summoned netherflame was directly proportional to the mental strength expended by the caster. ‘Netherflame Summoning’ was quite unique among spells because it fell into the category of summoning spells, where the potency depended largely on the creature summoned. This introduced an element of luck to its use.
However, if a caster could form a contract with a powerful netherflame entity, this element of luck could be mitigated, turning the summoning process into a controlled invocation.
Of course, netherflame beings originated from Hell, a formidable plane within the multiverse. If the spell involved summoning demons, Lynn might have had some tricks up his sleeve, but summoning creatures from Hell was an entirely different matter, leaving him with no viable options for negotiation or control.
