Witch Alchemist

Seeing Ivant's performance, Roy immediately understood that he had actually made up his mind.

"Let's do this. Use the skull as the boundary and try to keep the brain intact.

If something happens, I can also find a way to save you."

In fact, the method Roy said was very simple, that is, to cut off Ivant's head and transplant it into another body.

Whether it is the carefully prepared orc warrior corpse or the nutrient warehouse used for temporary transfer, it can save his life.

But Ivant shook his head unexpectedly: "I am afraid that even the brain must be parasitized to achieve a more perfect coexistence state.

I actually plan to let the hyphae take root in the brain..."

Roy's expression changed slightly. At this moment, he really looked up to this apprentice.

On the road of wizards, he is his latecomer, but the efforts made based on the existing conditions and his own skills and resources are not inferior to himself at all, and even better!

Roy thought about it and decided to respect his choice.

"I can give you Amo's body for free. Just consider it as my support for your attempt.

If you are promoted to a formal wizard, our follower agreement will be terminated immediately and replaced with an employment relationship.

I will pay you a salary for each mission, but you must stay here until you help me complete this mission.

Also, the information must be fully shared. I am also interested in this kind of transformation of witchcraft."

"Okay."

...

After that, Roy took out Amo's body and handed it to Ivent.

As expected, he planned to use this body as a culture medium, and after multiple generations of screening of bacteria, he would finally parasitize it.

In other words, what he ultimately relied on was actually the affinity of the bloodline of the wood elf to the plant type.

Ivent did not hide the key technology from Roy, and there was no way to hide it.

He even had to rely on Roy's technology and resources for further protection.

So, Roy had the opportunity to observe the whole process with curiosity.

...

As time went by, Roy was really curious about Ivant's attempt. At the same time, he was also worried that something unexpected might happen and other apprentices would not be able to handle it, so he simply did not return to Tanle City, but stayed in the secret camp to observe nearby.

At this time, Roy suddenly realized that perhaps due to the influence of [Inspiration], his various basic theoretical knowledge was quite solid, and he quickly understood Ivant's route of using the blood of the wood elves to domesticate and reconcile this kind of thing.

Even in his eyes, many details of Ivant's work were not very perfect.

If he was given enough time, enough opportunities, and enough capital, he could do better.

"The spore solution seems to be mixed with some toxicity?"

"There is no way, some self-limiting autolysis mechanism has not been completely removed..."

"However, just like the blood mercury witch body, its own hematopoietic function will be destroyed, and the immortal lich will also lose the senses of living things and fall into eternal loneliness.

Some defects are inevitable."

During the discussion, Ivant was confident about this, and it seemed that he had really considered the pros and cons.

But I have a talent for alchemy, and I can easily replace the hematopoietic function with blood mercury!

Most of those liches are transformed by high-level wizards, and they have a lot of means to solve the sequelae.

You just rely on a mutated wood elf bloodline as a trump card, it is easy to walk into a dead end!

Roy couldn't help but mourn for this brave apprentice.

He felt more and more deeply that not everyone in this world has the capital.

The price of fate is not something that everyone can afford.

...

Another day, Roy, who was meditating, suddenly felt an inexplicable breath coming from the room where Ivent was.

"Could it be that it has reached the last step?"

He hurried over to check and found that it was true.

The transformation experiment has reached the final stage of metamorphosis.

Ivent locked himself in the nutrient chamber for cultivating embryos. It seemed that there was no change on the outside, but in fact, a large number of fungi grew wildly inside, and almost all the blood and flesh cells in the body were replaced by a kind of mimic meat mushroom.

This is a brand new, 99.99% anthropomorphic meat mushroom demon.

Ivant and Roy had already deduced this when they discussed it before.

Suddenly, the witch array sounded, and dangerous red lights flashed.

"His life energy is growing rapidly, how could this happen? It has reached a level of more than 30 degrees!

This is far beyond expectations!

But the spirit doesn't seem to grow...

No, it has grown, reaching 7...8...9!"

In the end, Ivant's spiritual power stopped at around 9 degrees.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

His spiritual transformation, after all, unfortunately stayed at the second energy level.

This is not a real promotion, because it has not crossed the 10-degree mark, just like water has not reached the freezing point or boiling point, it will always be in a liquid state, not a solid or gas.

But the life energy that Roy felt was real.

And the source of magic power did appear in his body.

Click...

Puff...

After a while, the hatch opened, and Ivant came out, all wet and shaking.

After a while, he stood up again, looked at his arm, and then looked at his body.

"How is it, do you feel okay?"

"It seems... failed?"

Ivant muttered to himself, with a bit of dejection on his face.

"Although I have successfully condensed the source of magic power and put the "Wizard's Motto" into practice...

But this is still not the real wizard stage. I originally wanted to break through the apprentice bottleneck in one go and completely complete the sublimation of the soul! ”

This is not Ivant’s impatience, but a plan made in combination with the growth and development cycle of the mimic meat mushroom.

He must cross this hurdle before the mature stage to reach the stage of a formal wizard.

But now, the impact has not been successful, but the fruiting body has matured.

There is no chance.

"Wait, um..."

Suddenly, Ivant covered his head and screamed in pain.

"It's still growing, woo waaa..."

With a bang, his body swelled rapidly, and suddenly the whole body grew out like a balloon, almost occupying the entire room.

The overgrown body eventually lost control.

But I don’t know if it was a blessing in disguise. He failed to cross the last hurdle, and his mental power remained at 9 degrees, but instead caused the human part of the brain to suppress the parasite.

In the end, Ivant became a deformed monster with a fat body of several meters in size, but his head was only slightly swollen and his skull was cracked.
