Engraving runes on one's own body was not something that could be done easily!
Special rune materials, a mageweath with a strange talent, unique drawing experience and skills … These were all indispensable, but Grimm did not have any of them.
Swamp Tower, in the alchemy laboratory.
Dozens of illumination crystals illuminated the room, leaving not a single shadow. Grimm did not stand in front of the operating table like he usually did. Instead, he lay down on the alchemy table. He was the operator today, and the target of the refinement was also him!
Without the special materials needed to draw the runes, Grimm could only use the method of refining runes. Without a specialised mageweath, Grimm could only draw the runes himself. Without the experience and skills that had been passed down from generation to generation, he had to rely on the A.I. Chip's optimal configuration and spirit simulation experiments …
Today, Grim was destined to be a calf that broke into a porcelain shop. He would overturn all the bottles and jars that represented past experience and rules, and then carve out a path that belonged to him.
In the normal process of drawing a rune, a mageweath would usually need the assistance of some medicine to reduce the regeneration of the target's flesh. This was because a rune array with complete functions was formed from hundreds or even thousands of runes and magic lines. If he met someone with a high vitality, the first rune line would have already healed before the last rune line was completed.
This would ruin the entire drawing of the mageweath!
That was why special drugs were used to anesthetize and suppress the target's physical regeneration ability. Then, meticulously mixed mageweath materials were used to corrode the target's skin to form the corresponding mageweath. Then, the mageweath would connect the mageweath to the target's magical organs. This was the theoretical basis for the stimulation of the human body with magic runes.
It was precisely because the process of drawing a rune was so complicated and trivial that the importance of a mageweath was highlighted. Some people, in order to save a large amount of magic crystals, tried to use the simplest method to draw their own runes. Such runes would be effective for a short period of time, but as the body healed, all external changes would eventually fade away.
Very soon, they would realize that they were drawing water with a wicker basket. Not only would the runes not be able to be permanently solidified, they would also have to pay a considerable amount of material fees.
The Balrog Transformation Mageweath Set that Grimm had custom-made for himself was also one of them. However, with his extremely high control over his body of flames, the process of losing its effect would definitely be delayed. Moreover, he did not expect the mageweath suit to be effective forever. He just wanted it to survive this "calamity".
Grimm laid down on the alchemy table and activated the alchemy device with his mind power.
As the needle-like heat rays hit his body, Grim could smell the burning smell of flesh and fat, and he could also hear the sizzling sound of fat boiling. The light slowly swam across the surface of his body, scorching his skin black and leaving behind shallow pits.
Grimm remained expressionless as he endured the burning of the light beam. He also had to suppress the instinctive defense and counterattack of his flaming body against the scorching rays. He also had to restrain the regeneration speed of his flesh. While the shallow pits had yet to heal, Grimm commanded another alchemy arm to pour in the filler that he had prepared beforehand.
For a moment, the sizzling sound of the light beam burning his flesh and the stench of the special filler slowly corroding his flesh filled the entire alchemy lab. It made him feel like he had arrived at a dark and ugly execution room!
He had to draw a complicated and obscure rune array on a certain part of his body, and the core node of the rune array had to completely coincide with the mana points in his body. Any deviation would cause the entire rune array to be scrapped.
That was why even though the pain on the surface of his body stimulated his nerves, Grimm continued to watch the spots of light dancing on his skin without batting an eyelid. He watched as his skin turned red, softened, collapsed, turned black, and finally turned into charcoal.
There were 14 rune arrays all over his body. Each of them was independent and had the effect of stimulating a certain part of his body. However, once they were activated, they could combine into an unusually complicated and mysterious set of mageweaths — the Balrog Transformation.
This was the direction that Grimm had set for himself to advance in fire magic!
The Balrog was a terrifying abyssal creature from the underworld. They usually had a tall and powerful body, but their combat ability came from the incomparably terrifying power of fire. Once they were enraged, their entire body would burn into a terrifying flaming man. Any living being that got close to them would have to bear continuous fire damage.
Without extremely high resistance to fire, ordinary enemies would not even be qualified to fight them. They would be burnt into a pile of coke by the continuous fire. Those who were qualified to stand in front of the Balrog would have to face an overwhelming number of violent fire spells, as well as the Balrog's melee skills that were not inferior to that of ordinary demons.
The Balrog might not be the strongest among the fire elemental experts, but they were the most outstanding group of fire elemental spells. Therefore, Grimm had drawn 14 rune arrays on his body to fully stimulate his potential and simulate part of the Balrog's abilities.
This was also the main reason why the mageweath set was called the Balrog Transformation!
Of course, this was only part of Grimm's initial plan and conjecture. If he really wanted to make his Balrog Transformation live up to its name, the most direct way was to go to the underworld to kill and dissect a Balrog. Now, all he could do was to imitate and improve on it.
The process of drawing the rune lasted for a whole day and night. It was not until noon the next day that Grimm dragged his exhausted body back to his residence. Waiting for him was Mary, who had just returned from a trip.
Seeing that Grimm was exhausted but still trying his best to stay awake, Mary's pretty face showed a sad expression.
After helping Grimm to lie down on the bed, Mary stroked his face and said softly, "Have a good sleep! I'll be here to protect you. "
Grimm forced a smile and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
… …
In another room.
Inside a faint transparent force field barrier, Alice was fondly playing with the Wizard-level elemental crystal core. Under the soft and bright light of the illumination crystal, the fist-sized crystal core was emitting a breathtaking light.
Every time it changed its angle, the crystal core would emit a gorgeous yet unique halo. Alice's gaze fell on it and showed an intoxicated expression, unable to break free for a long time. With her eyesight, she could obviously see the Crystal Nucleus and the complicated and profound Magus Formation that was as fine as a cow's hair.
No matter how she looked at it, it was a great work of art.
Using the ingenious design of the spell formation, the special energy within the elemental crystal core was stimulated and combined with the vast elemental energy gathered from the outside world. Thus, a terrifying Wizard-level Elemental Puppet that could destroy the world was born!
At the thought that she was defeated by such a crystal clear and extremely beautiful little thing, there was an inexplicable anger rising in Alice's heart. But soon after, this anger was slowly dissolved by the mysterious light of the elemental crystal core.
That's right, I also promised that bastard … Aiyo … Master one thing. Looks like I need to hurry up and practice!
Alice rolled around on the bed without caring about her image. She slowly extended her mental strength, and through the trace of mental connection brought by the spell contract in the depths of her soul, she silently determined the other party's location.
That … In his residence, there was no comprehensive protection activated. His mental strength also seemed low and deep, so he should be sleeping. Wow, isn't this the best opportunity! I just need to pass something to him, and this treasure will accompany me for a few more days!
With an excited mood, Alice stretched out her hand and drew an incantation in the air. She then took out an earring and threw it over. The incantation was enveloped by an abnormally complicated wizard's ring. The earring passed through it as if it had passed through a transparent water mirror, and disappeared in an instant.
In another room, a dense incantation suddenly appeared in Grimm's right hand. As the incantation vibrated, an exquisite earring slowly passed through the air and was about to fall into Grimm's hand.
* Pak. *
Mary waved her hand, and the earring immediately flew to the corner of the room.
"Hmph, it's that little girl again! Hmph, secretly giving an earring, it's obvious that she's up to no good. "
The moment the earring was slapped away, Alice immediately sensed it.
"Eh, what's going on? I was about to succeed, so why was it suddenly slapped away? Could it be a new defensive mechanism? No, let me try again! "
Unsurprisingly, the second time, the third time … All of Alice's attempts were interrupted by a strange defensive mechanism. This, on the other hand, aroused her fury even more.
"What's going on? That guy is clearly asleep, so how can he still have such a strange defensive mechanism? You forced me to do this! "
Gritting her teeth, Alice quickly waved her hands in the air, activating four space incantation at the same time. However, before she could pass the item over, the four space incantation incantations on Grimm's body suddenly disappeared.
Damn it, you're challenging me!
Alice, who had her competitive spirit aroused, immediately began to try again and again, but every time she tried, she was destroyed. This made her even angrier, and she tried even harder.
In Grimm's residence, Mary yawned and stretched her body, while reaching out her finger and quickly stabbing in the air. Any space incantation incantation would be pierced by Mary's finger before it could establish a stable small space channel in the distance.
