Chapter 0994: Grim's Ambition

In all seriousness, the mechanical heart, the core component of a mechanical wizard's body, is much like a self-aware, metal-activated life.

It can not only integrate the surrounding metal machinery, but also completely integrate into the energy circulation system of the human body based on flesh and blood. In this respect, it is actually more of a parasite, not fundamentally different from the puppet worms created by wizards when they concocted flesh golems.

It's just that one is parasitic on the body of the test body, and the other is parasitic on the wizard's body.

The Heart of Machines can also grow.

However, the nutrients and ingredients it needs to grow are completely different from the original human skeletal system, and it requires the use of a large number of rare wizard resources and witchcraft materials. Moreover, the conflict between the mechanical sorcery system and the original flesh and blood can only be postponed, but not eliminated forever.

Compared to the mechanical sorcery system, the human body's own blood meridians are still too fragile, and the slightest impurity may break the original weak balance.

If the human body itself is so fragile, why would those mechanical wizards prefer to delete and modify the flesh and blood body rather than completely create a real mechanical body for themselves?

I'm afraid this involves the original unique energy advancement system of human beings!

The all-metal structure of the Activated Life is indeed powerful, but it faces a difficult situation of advancement. Moreover, transplanting the human soul into a pile of iron lumps, without the nourishment of flesh and blood life energy, the soul will only wither day by day, and it will be difficult to improve itself step by step like a human body.

They are obsessed with the powerful fighting abilities that the Machine Heart brings to them, but they rely on flesh and blood organs to feed these energy-hungry parts. Therefore, mechanical wizards are actually looking for a balance between their great strength and the human advancement system many times!

However, the scruples of mechanical wizards do not exist for Grim.

He didn't intend to transform himself beyond recognition, the reason why he wanted to study mechanical wizards was purely to make elemental magic machines more powerful and aggressive.

After thoroughly studying Katie the Knife Queen, even Grim had to admire the whimsy of the mechanical wizard.

Katie's mechanical eye combines a number of bizarre abilities such as shimmer vision, elemental vision, and motion capture. This also indicates that she can see normally in the dim space without using any witchcraft at all, and can also directly see the flow of elements around the opponent's body with the 'naked eye', and can also capture the opponent's more subtle and subtle tactical movements......

The metal shell of her modified brain also has the ability to amplify the strength of her mental induction, which allows her to manipulate the metal blade wheels like a finger. As long as the distance is not too far, she can even manipulate and change the attack path of the metal blade wheel with her sense of thought, so as to achieve the effect of an instantaneous attack explosion.

As for the body of Katie, it has undergone multiple complex mechanical sorcery transformations, and there are alloy plates of different shapes buried under the smooth and elastic skin on the surface. Whenever attacked, the first to take damage is the metal armor that is more visible on the outside of the body.

If the power of the attack exceeds the limits of the metal armor, the remaining damage is shared between the flesh and the alloy plate hidden inside, and dispersed with the help of a strange concussion.

This also makes Katie's physical and elemental resistance surprisingly high, and she can completely rush to the opponent's side to carry out crazy killing in the face of the enemy's sorcery attacks.

Of course, this kind of attack will also make Daoji Katie's body in a state of fragmentation and defect all year round, and it needs to be continuously replenished. This replenishment includes both metal defects in mechanical parts and the loss of flesh and blood in living bodies.

Therefore, in the daily diet of Daoji Katie, a large amount of fresh meat and various specific metal solutions are probably indispensable!

A living human wizard who eats bloody raw meat every day and drinks a pungent and unpleasant metal concoction liquid, the path of mechanical wizards pursuing a strong path is not something that ordinary people can stick to.

From the bodies of several wizard hunters, Grim also took down a lot of high-level witch weapons.

However, these things are all created by them in combination with their own characteristics, and Grim needs to renovate them if he wants to use them. However, those auxiliary sorcery trinkets can be used.

Although most of the witchcraft accessories have more or less physical enhancement abilities, as a human wizard, it is difficult to carry out physical or mental enhancement indefinitely.

For example, the Ring of Soden worn by Grim has a +5 power boost, so the 3 points of power amplified by the Fire Set are invisibly covered by the Ring of Soden. If Grim didn't manage to temper his body and increase his strength limit, then he would not be able to enjoy the huge increase in the power of the two.

Therefore, as a wizard, it is best to find ways to improve your basic data as the most effective and practical. As for those who want to rely on a large number of high-level witchcraft to build a powerful wizard, it is extremely naïve and ridiculous.

Basically, with the 5 points of power blessed by the Holy Ring of Soden, the rest of the witchcraft accessories that strengthen the strength of the flesh * body seem a little redundant. And the 3-point constitution bonus brought by the Soden Holy Ring also left a part of the space for Grim.

However, these gaps were quickly filled by the Flame Suit's Constitution Boost.

In addition, Grim's current mental power has reached 37 points, and it seems to be a bit overflowing after relying on the equipment to increase to the upper limit of 39 points. As a result, he could only take off one or two witchcraft ornaments that increased his spiritual power to lighten the load on his own spirit.

In this way, his strength, physique, and spirit have reached the limit of the current body's improvement at the same time, and only agility still has a lot of room for increase.

"Chip, detect my current body data ......"

"Drop, the test begins...... The basic data of the subject is as follows: "

"Grim, Level 3 Advanced, Class Identity: Elemental Wizard (Flame Specialization), Body Base Data: Strength 18 + 5 (13) Constitution 21 + 4 (11) Agility 11 + 1 (7) Spirit 37 + 2 (32), Professional Skills: Flame Body, Fire Demon Body, Flame Clone ......"

"Subject's physical condition: Seriously injured...... Note: The parentheses are the strongest ceilings that can be played so far!"

Such basic data may not be anything in front of those powerful high-demon species, but it is already at the first-class level among wizards of the same level.

The strength of 23 points indicates that he can already compete with those second-order junior body refining wizards without falling behind, but if he really wants to fight in close combat, his rough fists and feet may not even touch the corners of other people's clothes. After all, 11 points of basic agility is barely enough for a Tier 3 elemental wizard, but it is a bit overwhelming to play melee combat with them with short hits and long hits.

In the wizarding community, great power is always relative, not absolute!

With such strength and such a physique, Grim is an incomparably powerful prehistoric monster in front of ordinary people. But compared to the body refining wizards of the same level, the prehistoric monster of Grim can only be regarded as a little guy who has not yet shed his milk teeth.

Thinking of this, Grim shook his head slightly, put away all kinds of strange equipment scattered all over the ground, and then stood up and walked out of the cave.

Outside the cavern is a small stone platform covered with a thick layer of scattered bones, which looks like a feeding place for a powerful demonic beast. Standing on the platform and looking into the distance, you will find that it is located in a vast forest sea of green and wild wilderness.

No matter which direction you look, you will see a sea of lush forests.

It's just a pity that since this place became the habitat of the Plague Corps, there have been no birdsong and insects singing in the surrounding area. Except for the choked roar of the forest sea, there was no other sound.

However, Grim seemed to be unconcerned about this, and stood alone on the edge of the stone platform, closing his eyes and listening to the strange and vague sound in the distance.

What he heard was not the sound of the wind, nor the rustle of leaves, but the vague message of the fire runes thousands of miles away.

Remy ......

"In!"

With a soft call from Grim, the plague spirit Remy silently emerged from his side.

"Take your plague legion to the east!" Grim stared into the distance with a deep gaze, "Keep going east, and destroy all the cities and villages along the way......"

"Where is the target?" asked Remy, curious.

"Jimmy Ria City!"

"Jimmy ria, that's the capital of the Zambis Empire!"

"Yes, there it is. It's a little bigger, but you have to be careful. Remember, when you encounter a Tier 4 Holy Knight, you can abandon the mission and escape. Until then, your mission is to expand the Plague Corps as much as possible and draw the attention of the enemy......"

Remy's dark green pupils flickered, and he basically fully understood Grim's thoughts.

Grinning at Grim, Remy summoned the plague beast, stepped up with the old poison woman, and then rushed down the cliff with a scream.

Immediately, the ancient trees shook in the dense forests around the cliff, the branches and leaves swayed, and groups of plague creatures ran silently, and in an instant, a terrifying tide of plague beasts formed in front of Grim's eyes.

When the plague creatures were almost gone, Grim pulled up his hood, covered his face, and turned around and strode southeast.

After obtaining the corpse of the star beast, it stands to reason that this Envik plane has lost the meaning of exploration for Grim, and it should be returned to the family as soon as possible. However, considering the nourishing effect of those strange holy lights on his spiritual power, Grim still felt that it was not too late to make a big profit.

You must know that after returning to the wizarding world, Grim wants to raise his spirit from 37 to 39, and it is almost impossible without two or three hundred years of kung fu. And here, all he needs to do is kill some paladins who can't pose a threat to him, so why wouldn't he do it!

The reason why Remy and his plague legion were sent out was to contain and lure away those two hateful Rank 4 Holy Knights. And he just took this opportunity to kill those mid- and low-level paladins, trying to save enough Holy Light to advance to the 4th level.

As for his real goal...... It's the guy who acts as a beacon for the sea of stars - Catherine, the 1st Rank Black Iron Knight!
