Chapter 0486: Grim's Progress
Grim, Human (Elementalized), Male, Tier 1 Elemental Sorcerer, Body: Strength 9 Agility 7 Constitution 11 Spirit 20, Condition: Health, Note: Body data has reached the genetic limit......
After sixty-seven years of hard work, Grim finally successfully completed the spiritual elementalization, and successfully reached a perfect fit with the elemental body. However, it also made his physical potential almost exhausted. If he doesn't manage to advance to a qualitative change, I'm afraid that in the next one or two hundred years, he will not be able to make an inch of progress even if he eats dragon liver and phoenix marrow every day.
Moreover, the perfect fit of body and spirit also allowed him to achieve a delicate balance in himself, and built a set of life energy circulation system in his body.
And what made him feel most gratified was that taking advantage of this physical and mental tempering, Grim took advantage of the situation to integrate the heart of the fire demon into this circulating system, and became the core of his body to promote continuous evolution. In this way, even in some areas where elemental energy is scarce, he himself has become a furnace that will never be extinguished, and can continuously give birth to some pure flame energy.
According to the chip's estimates, even in a demon-free area, its own flame core can support a 30-degree witchcraft attack. This also means that without the inhalation of free energy from the outside world, Grim continuously releases 30 degrees of fire sorcery, almost without depleting his own elemental energy reserves.
If the attack intensity is increased to 70 degrees, which is almost the dividing line between an apprentice and a wizard, then Grim will be able to hold on to such an attack for 2 hours. Again, this refers to a continuous series of attacks, with no long intervals in between.
If Grim adopts a wandering tactic and shifts while fighting, the flame core has time to buffer and recover, and the battle time can even be extended to one day and one night.
The effect of this constant combat is simply amazing, at least Grim has never found it in other Tier 1 wizards.
In the current Flame Throne Witch Tower, the most capable one is, of course, the Queen of Blood, Mary. She's incredibly explosive in melee combat, and she also has the ability to fight consistently. However, her endurance still needs to be supported by a large amount of 'Blood Food', and once the enemy launches a purposeful attack on her 'Blood Food', her endurance will be drastically reduced.
But Grim's self-built flame core is located within himself, and it is like a miniature flame altar, which can continuously draw power from the fire elemental plane. Moreover, this kind of association is difficult to be interfered with by ordinary sealing magic or disturbing rune arrays, almost making it impossible for Grim's flame energy to run out!
In addition to pushing his mental power to the limit of 20 points, Grim's strength and physique have also reached the limit. 9 points of strength is enough for him to knock over an ironclad rhino with his bare hands, but unfortunately, he doesn't have a talent for hand-to-hand combat, so investing resources and energy in melee combat will only be a greater waste.
The same is true for the 11-point constitution.
This kind of physique is enough to make him strong like a berserk monster, the combination of life energy and spiritual will, makes his skin as tough as thick rhinoceros skin, and the magic resistance and physical resistance are also excellent. In particular, his physique broke through the 10-point threshold, which allowed him to gain a 'limb regeneration' ability.
As long as there is enough energy, as long as he is not dead, any missing limb can be regenerated by consuming energy. This is also a basic ability that all high-level alchemists will have.
Mentally, the same is true, as Grim has reached the 20-point limit, he gains the ability to 'recover quickly' when his mental power reaches 11. This doubles his mental power recovery speed when he consumes more than half of his mental power.
After a silent self-examination, Grim walked to the biology laboratory.
It has been transformed into a strange jungle that resembles the Black Forest.
As soon as he stepped inside, a strange insect resembling a rock scorpion sprang out of the dense grass, climbed up his shoulder in three steps and two steps, and intimately rubbed his earlobe.
Grim stretched out his large flame hand and gently stroked the insect's back. It is as tough as cowhide, but the surface is greasy, and it is difficult for ordinary people to use force even if they grasp it. Its spindle-shaped strange body is flanked by sharp arthropods as sharp as knives, and at the end of it is a high-raised bony knuckle-like scorpion tail, and at the end a poisonous needle with a black mist is clearly visible.
This is the first semi-mature Insect One, which Grimm has spent decades cultivating, capable of 100% preying on the genetic fragments associated with the target creature's natural abilities. However, the individual strength of this insect is limited, and even if Grim tries his best to increase its strength, its own combat power is barely comparable to that of a junior apprentice.
This also means that it is naïve to rely on itself to hunt those top-tier monsters. Its innate ability is indeed against the sky, and it is indeed terrifying, but it can ...... The world is fair, too!
The world has given it a talent against the sky, and at the same time it has given it a weak body.
Those top-level monsters all had terrifying elemental auras, and if a guy like an alien insect couldn't even get close to them, he would be crushed into slag by terrifying spiritual coercion or elemental shock.
Therefore, if Grim wants to obtain the blood of the dragon, he can only catch a dragon first, tie it up, and then respectfully carry it to the insect and let it invade. In this process, you also need to be careful that the dragon sneezes and kills the worm directly.
To sum up, this kind of insect can't be mass-produced now, even if it's true energy, I'm afraid the ideal of extracting powerful talents is not so easy to achieve!
The human body's own genetic carrying capacity is limited, and Grim's fire witch talent has already accounted for most of it, and the space that can be left for foreign genes is always limited. If you don't add a large number of 'garbage' abilities indiscriminately, it will cause 'pollution' of your own natural abilities, and at worst, it will directly cause the disintegration of the gene chain.
So don't want any 'garbage' abilities, Grim must carefully select the most suitable and perfect talent ability for himself. And this undoubtedly takes a lot of time and luck!
After playing with Grim for a while, it was soon time to feed.
Three holes the size of a human head suddenly cracked in the ceiling of the chamber, and a dozen snow hares endemic to the Black Forest were thrown out of it.
It is a hare, with short snow-white fur, black eyes, and an extremely strong ability to run short distances.
The insect that was still tame and peaceful just now instantly became vicious and cruel, and its sharp knots flew up with a slight force on Grim's shoulder. The body was still rolling in mid-air, and the scorpion needle behind the tail had already swooped into the jungle, and accurately hit a snow hare that had just landed.
As soon as the snow rabbit landed, before he could adjust his body, his body suddenly trembled, fell to the ground, and was paralyzed and unable to move.
The strange sound of slashing in the jungle was as dense as rain, and a dozen creatures that were slightly smaller than the previous insects sprang out of the grass and headed straight for the collapsed snow hare. Insect No. 1 landed on the side of the snow hare first, quickly climbed on top of it, and then stood up semi-upright, showing its terrifying insect claw in all directions.
These dozen or so little insects surrounded the snow rabbit's side and kept trying, but each time they were scared back by the insect No. 1 with a ferocious insect claw. They hesitated for a moment, then turned around and threw themselves on the other side of the jungle to chase the two snow hares.
Only then did the Insect One begin to feast on it with satisfaction!
Silently observing all this from a distance, Grim was pleased to find that the strength and speed of Worm One had increased slightly.
This made him feel very gratified.
Since these insects have been implanted with control runes at the beginning of hatching, and have been imprinted into Grim's consciousness, there is no risk that they will turn back on their owners when they are strong. This is the key to Grim's courage to keep them in captivity!
After observing the lives of the insects for a while, and making sure that nothing had happened, Grim left the biological laboratory and came to his alchemy laboratory.
On the small alchemy table in the middle of the laboratory were three magic golem crystal nuclei and five dazzling second-order elemental crystal nuclei neatly stacked. And these are all the crystal nuclei that he has been working hard for the Sarubo family for so long.
Seriously, the number of Tier 2 crystal nuclei intercepted by Grim should be 10, but unfortunately two of them failed in making the golem. As a result, there were only 3 finished demon golem crystal nuclei left in his hands, and they were all elite peak-level demon golem crystal nuclei!
As for the remaining 5 second-order crystal nuclei, they were all earth-based, which was also the material he deliberately left behind to make second-order magic golems.
Before becoming a Tier 2 wizard, limited by his own strength, the upper limit of the attack power of the golem he made was 185 degrees. It seems that it is only one step away from the 200-degree attack of a Tier 2 creature, but in fact, there is a huge difference between heaven and earth.
Because for any Tier 1 creature, whether it's flesh or elemental, the 200-degree attack cap is something they will never be able to break through. But for Tier 2 creatures, 200 degrees is only the base strength of their attacks, which is the lower limit of their attacks.
As long as they don't deliberately want to reduce the power of their attacks, the strength of the witchcraft attacks that the second-order wizards can easily activate is above 200 degrees!
The difference in the level of creatures in the wizarding world seems to be only one order, but the difference in strength may be 5-10 times. Therefore, overstepping killings can only happen under certain extreme conditions. Under normal circumstances, a low-tier creature would never be able to defeat a higher-tier mob.
That's what wizards really mean by classifying creatures!
Therefore, even if Grimm had the help of the chip before, it was impossible for the golem he made to cross the threshold of the creature level and become a Tier 2 creature in the true sense. However, when Grim is truly promoted, it is imperative to make a Tier 2 golem!
