Chapter 0576: Demonic Transformation

It only took one day to build a huge metal fortress at the bottom of the mine.

Rumbling mining machinery rushes through and transports tons and tons of high-quality metal ore from the ground to the inside of the metal fortress. Inside the metal fortress, conveyor tracks run through the beginning and end, first transporting the rough and primitive metal ore to the ore crushing site.

There, large and small metal ores are thrown into the rumbling ore grinder, and when they come out of the next track, they have become a metal ore powder of uniform size and particles.

After a lot of screening and filtration, the soil and plant residue mixed in with it are washed away, and what is left is the ore with a very high metal content. Before these ores are sent to the smelting workshop, there are still many construction robot arms at both ends of the conveyor tracks rummaging and picking up, picking out those rare metal ores and associated magic gems and placing them on other conveyor tracks.

The entire ore crushing, screening, sorting and conveying process is all handled by construction machinery, which has been fully automated.

And at the door of the last process, every quarter of an hour, a battle magic machine came down the assembly line with a rumbling step and joined Gazruvi's magic army.

After several successive battles, Grim and other wizards were no longer interested in this kind of low-level magic weapon that consumed the enemy's strength by quantity. They don't have a Tier 1 strength rating, but in actual combat, they need three to four times as many to defeat or kill a Tier 1 Dragonman.

Under normal circumstances, without five to ten dragonmen, it would be impossible to threaten a first-order wizard.

From this decrease in strength, it can be seen how great the biological level of the lower isoplanes is!

So the few wizards who were closed had nothing to do, so they naturally got together and began to study the upgrading of battle magic weapons.

De Serra is a well-deserved supporter of the violent stream.

He felt that the only reason why low-level magic weapons could never be used in a big way was the lack of heavy weapons that could threaten high-level lives, and if he could transplant the magic energy cannon to the magic machine, it would undoubtedly increase its power.

However, with the size of the magic weapon, the magic energy that it can carry is always limited, and with the addition of a magic energy cannon like a large demon consumer, I am afraid that if two or three cannons go down, it will become a pile of scrap metal. No matter how many magic weapons such a weapon is made, it will never be able to leave the metal fortress too far, and it will be of great use.

Poison Lady Ndo has been soaking with the voodoo doll cultivated by Grim all these days, and has been hiding in her secret room all day long, mixing all kinds of plague and poison for the voodoo doll to swallow. Some time ago, it was unbelievable that the voodoo doll evolved a weird voodoo aura.

This time, the voodoo doll has completely become a poison doll!

Everywhere it went, ordinary people who were not protected by witchcraft would be poisoned as soon as they stepped into the voodoo aura, and then evolved into terrible servants full of plague poison under the influence of strange voodoo.

This kind of corpse is infinitely powerful, with sharp claws, fearless of life and death, and its body is full of all kinds of plagues and poisons, and it is about the basic strength of a junior apprentice. Although it is not very strong, it is more than enough to be cannon fodder.

Of course, the evolutionary success of this kind of corpse also has its success rate.

Basically, the more intelligent and powerful the creature, the higher the success rate of evolving the corpse. In the case of humans, the basic conversion rate is about 30%, while the conversion rate of goblins is around 15%.

This also means that if Grim breaks into an alien plane alone, Voodoo Doll alone can pull up an army of death-defying servants for him in a short period of time.

And the voodoo doll has gone through Endor*, and now it basically has quasi-witch-level strength. If it can successfully evolve to the wizard level in the future, then the servant corpses it concocts will also rise and become stronger together.

It's just that the evolution of the voodoo doll is not stable now, and it can only maintain a close soul connection with Grim within tens of miles. Once the distance exceeds a hundred miles, only vague soul sensing remains. Therefore, Grim can only take it with him all the time, and cannot use it as a completely independent individual.

As for transforming low-level magic weapons, Poison Lady Endo's opinion is more radical.

She even proposed that she concoct a more infectious and deadly super plague by herself, and spread it by these low-level magical weapons, further weakening the indigenous strength of the entire Reims plane.

For such a suggestion, Grim can only listen to it, and never dare to take it seriously.

Now they are hiding in the metal mines, and the enemy they face is only a Tier 2 Wind Dragon. If you really do it according to Endor's opinion, you will definitely be able to provoke all the dragon lords in the Reims plane.

At that time, the sky was full of third- and fourth-order dragons, and all the mountains and fields were terrifying dragonmen, even if Gazruvi had a steady stream of metal resources and inexhaustible magical energy, it would be impossible to resist the terrifying army formed by the opponent's overwhelming power.

So Endor's opinion was directly vetoed!

In contrast, it was the flesh puppet proposed by Billis, the Worm Witch, that was more reliable.

A flesh golem is a special magical alloy forged by combining the flesh and blood of powerful magical creatures (dragonmen) with selected fine alloys. This magical alloy combines the indestructible physical properties of a special metal with the elemental properties of the flesh and blood of magical creatures.

For example, by combining the flesh and blood left by the wind dragons with the constant gold ore, you can create a completely alternative magic alloy - wind essence iron.

It is a magical alloy imbued with the aura of a powerful wind element, and when armor made of wind iron is attacked, it can spontaneously form a wind barrier, deflecting and blocking 37% of melee attacks and 65% of ranged attacks.

And the magic longsword made of wind essence iron, every full swing can be accompanied by a wind vortex tornado. Heavier enemies will be trapped in place for 3 seconds, while lighter ones will be blown up and completely lose control.

As for the sorcery staff made of Wind Essence Iron, it can accelerate the convergence of wind elements and increase the power of the sorcery attack of wind wizards. This point, the only wind wizard in the family, De Serra, was full of praise, and he couldn't help but preach the benefits of this wind essence iron to everyone with his own personal experience.

Crafting magical weapons out of this Wind Iron is undoubtedly wasteful, and it is far less cost-effective than transporting them to the wizarding world and selling them.

According to the preliminary estimate of the chip, in the first battle of the Reims plane, the direct plane income that the wind dragon human flesh and blood can bring to the Crimson family is between 20-300,000 magic crystals.

In the past, wizards always regarded plane wars as a source of profiteering, and this can also be seen!

However, this kind of war money is not something that can be distributed by just anyone who wants to.

Without the endless magical energy provided by the Magic Forge and the iron walls provided by the metal fortress, a Tier 2 Wind Dragon and hundreds of Tier 1 Dragonmen would have been strong enough to equalize any small wizard family.

And the Crimson family formed by Grim didn't even have the strength to resist it, and they were about to be drowned in the furious assault of the Dragonman Legion.

For the transformation of low-level magic weapons, Grim's idea is to combine combat magic weapons with elemental magic golems of his own creation, so as to create an elemental-type metal magic golem. On the one hand, the energy source of the metal golem comes from the magic furnace, and on the other hand, it can also be provided by the elemental crystal nucleus, which also solves the problem of a single energy source.

And the elemental attacks are undoubtedly much faster and more powerful than those flashy goblin muskets and Aojin rifles. Coupled with the protection of a sturdy metal shell, the flaw of the Elemental Golem's inability to act as a proper meat shield in the past is gone.

However, what attribute golem can best match with which metal obviously requires a lot of sorcery experiments to verify and screen. So for the rest of the day, Grim hid in the metal fortress and spent almost all of his day in a makeshift witchcraft laboratory.

Bilis is busy refining Wind Essence Iron, and Grimm is busy combining metal magic machines with elemental golems. The remaining two idle, Desiera and Endor, muttered and quietly slipped out of the metal fortress and ran back to the Swamp of Sorrow to hunt down the rare otherworldly creatures.

For wizards, hunting otherworldly creatures, dissecting their physiology, and analyzing the origin of their bloodlines is also a necessary research work.

Only by studying the natives of the plane thoroughly and deeply enough can we understand the formation mechanism of the plane and the operation of the laws of the plane from the side.

And the latter can often play a pivotal role in plane warfare!

…………

It's a scorched land of steaming heat.

The earth has cracked through countless huge canyons and deep ravines that crisscross and stretch, and from above, you can clearly see the boiling lava flowing slowly under the earth.

Thick yellow smoke filled the air, filling the air with a choking and pungent smell of sulfur.

Volcanoes of all sizes and sizes are dotted around, and from time to time a thick column of lava and fire erupts from it, adding some spilled ash and lava flint with long black smoke tails to the foul air.

And in the middle of this scorched land floating above the sea of lava, an extraordinarily tall volcano stands tall. At the top of the volcanic cone, in a circular sea of lava, floats a huge castle carved out of obsidian.

This...... It is a great castle floating in a sea of lava!

It was peaceful, with almost no unusual sounds to be heard except for the rumbling of lava.

But suddenly, a clear and loud strange dragon roar came from the distant sky.

Immediately, the muscular body of Chax, the wind dragon, appeared in the sky above the lava castle.

It leaned down to inspect the lava castle surrounded by crimson flames, and finally gritted its teeth and swooped down with its wings in tow.
