Sui Xiong was not a mad scientist in the general sense, but it didn't mean that he would be gentle in his research, especially when it came to living things.
In fact, it was the exact opposite. Since Roland was able to guarantee that the gnome tribe leader he was experimenting on wouldn't die, his research methods … If a video was uploaded onto Earth's internet, it would definitely attract a large number of furious animal rights activists, assuming that gnomes counted as animals as well.
The results of his research were outstanding. In just a dozen or so days, he had completely understood the bloodline and abilities of the Goblin Chief. He had also finally created the spell he wanted.
However, it was slightly different from what he had expected.
He called the effect of this spell "Gigantism." It was not a spell ability, but a bloodline ability. In other words, to perform this ability, what was needed was not a powerful magic, but a strong body.
According to Sui Xiong's estimation, it probably needed a body close to the level of the so-called "iron man" to be able to withstand the pressure of this spell. This almost meant that generally, it was possible to have such a body when one was close to a high-level melee profession, or a high-level ranger or something like that.
As for sorcerers … forget it. Even legendary sorcerers couldn't have such a strong body. Only sorcerers could.
Oh, it was also possible for sorcerers. For example, professional battle sorcerers like "magic gunners" who paid extreme attention to physical training and had a strong body no less than a ranger of the same level could indeed meet the requirements of this spell.
But no matter what, this ability leaned too much towards physique and was not suitable to be used as a spell. So after some consideration, Sui Xiong finally decided to give it to his priests as the ability of Saint Samurai.
As for the name, it would be "Divine Power."
Strictly speaking, Saint Samurai could also be counted as spellcasters because they could also use priest divine spells — although the number and power were greatly reduced, at least it was "present" and not "none." In addition to the reduced version of priest divine spells, Saint Samurai could also use some unique abilities. For example, some Saint Samurai could use their own magic to guide positive energy and turn it into a powerful healing spell, which was called "Holy Healing." Some Saint Samurai could combine magic and faith to turn it into a powerful weapon or defense, which was called "Holy Weapon" or "Holy Shield." And some Saint Samurai could use magic to guide negative energy and turn it into a death impact that swept an area … Therefore, even if there was an additional "gigantism", it wouldn't necessarily attract too much attention.
After completing this spell, Sui Xiong first contacted the Saint Samurai of Darr's territory.
Coincidentally, they had just completed another crusade, this time against a group of ferocious wild boars.
Wild boars were ordinary beasts. Even if there were more of them, skilled hunters and some soldiers would be enough to deal with them. However, if there was a monster known as the 'Wild Boar King' among them, the battle prowess of these wild boars would undergo an earth-shattering change. Not only was the Wild Boar King ferocious and powerful, but it could also use its own Mana to cause ordinary wild boars to mutate, becoming bigger and stronger. If it was dragged on for too long, it was even possible that the group of wild boars would turn violent and become infamous "Ferocious Wild Boars".
How terrifying was a ferocious wild boar? Just two points were enough to make people understand the seriousness of the problem.
First, these guys could be at most three times the size of an ordinary wild boar. It wasn't just their overall size, but their body length alone!
Second, even if a ferocious wild boar was seriously injured to the point of near death, its movements would still be as agile as when it was in a healthy state, and it wouldn't become sluggish because of injury.
In the face of such a terrifying guy, even if there was only one, it would still require a team of skilled adventurers to deal with it. If there was a group of them … even a regular army would have to retreat.
Baron Darr originally didn't see this group of wild boars as a target that needed to be wiped out. In fact, he was thinking of keeping them to increase the fun of hunting. However, when he learned that there was a giant beast suspected to be the Wild Boar King among the wild boars, he immediately couldn't sit still.
Damn it! If there really was a Wild Boar King, it wouldn't take him a few years to deal with a group of ferocious wild boars!
At that time, only God knew how much money he would have to spend to find a team of strong enough to fight against this group of ferocious beasts!
So even though he knew it was dangerous, he still made up his mind to take advantage of this winter to kill the Wild Boar King.
This battle was much more dangerous than the battle with the gnome tribe. Six of the professional soldiers under Baron Darr's command were killed, and more than ten were injured. This was also thanks to the clerics blocking the front at the crucial moment, preventing the Wild Boar King from using its most powerful move — Charge.
The Wild Boar King was almost as big as a poor family's house in Darr City, and when it charged, the ground shook. At first, the soldiers tried to use ropes to trip it, but who knew that it had magic abilities. When they were about to be pulled down, it let out a roar, and its body emitted a faint green light. Instantly, the ropes automatically slipped off, and could no longer entangle it.
This was the effect of the intermediate spell 'Freedom of Movement'. Perhaps the Wild Boar King's level of casting this spell was slightly weaker than a real intermediate mage, but it was enough.
From the moment it cast this spell to the moment the accompanying sorcerer broke it, only less than 20 seconds had passed. But in these ten seconds, the Wild Boar King was able to kill the soldiers using ropes, until the clerics took over.
What followed was naturally a fierce battle. Almost all of the clerics were injured, and one of them was seriously injured. If not for Kabala converting almost all of his magic power into healing spells, he would have lost a lot of his men.
But because of this, the clerics could not save enough magic power to help heal all the seriously injured. Of the six soldiers who died, two of them died from their injuries.
Because of this, the clerics were a little depressed. They were not the kind of people who fantasized about saving everyone, but seeing people in need die in front of them, they were all very sad.
Old people should help others when they are old, and young people should help others when they are young. The Other World did not have Mencius' famous saying, but most of the kind clergymen could do this.
They could feel the pain of others, and they would also feel sad because of their lack of strength. This sadness would become their motivation, pushing them to become stronger, and to do things more carefully and skillfully.
Just when they were feeling depressed, Sui Xiong turned into a ray of holy light and descended in front of them.
"You have done a good job." Sui Xiong instantly understood what had happened, and he smiled and comforted them. "Even gods are not omnipotent. You have done your best, and that is good. I am very satisfied."
He smiled and said, "I know that you feel that you are not strong enough, so I will now give you new power. If you encounter such a situation in the future, this power will definitely be of help. "
As he said this, two rays of holy light fell from the sky and fell on the two Saint Samurai who had stepped into the intermediate level because of the fierce battle.
"Its name is Divine Might."
