Chapter 34 Enhancement Ritual

Three days is a short time, and it will pass in a blink of an eye. When the day finally came for the augmentation ritual, Feige was excited and nervous, ready to become more "human".

The main castle of Icepeak Fortress has a specially fortified basement dedicated to augmentation ceremonies. There are reinforced iron cages, shackles, and flails, as well as thunder strike spells on the walls and ground. Feige had always thought that this room was a prison cell for beasts, but he didn't expect it to be a place to upgrade himself.

The damp room was filled with a fishy smell of sweat, which made people's scalps tight and uncomfortable. Cayle guarded the cauldron in the corner of the room, the griffon's gland-enhancing potion gurgling over the fire, the dark brown liquid giving off a bitter taste. Feiqi remembered that he drank Chinese medicine when he was a child, which was roughly the same, but his mother would always hold a piece of rock candy in his hand to coax him, "You can eat sugar after drinking the medicine bravely."

"If you pour it down with wine, it doesn't affect you when you're drunk. Calet pulled a flat, curved iron flask from his bosom and placed it in Feige's hand. "Be quick, don't hesitate. Tell you that if the taste is left in your mouth, it will make you spit out the rice you had three days ago. He patted Feige on the shoulder and asked with a straight face.

"Don't scare him. The potion doesn't taste great, but it's not unbearable either. The best thing to do is not to think about it and focus on the ceremony. Old man Kiprin beckoned Feiqi closer, and then said, "I've seen the content of your enhanced ritual, are you sure you want to focus all the enhancements on psychic induction?"

Feige nodded. For three days, he focused on only one thing, and that was to read and then adjust the enhancement ritual. The Augmentation Ritual begins with a magic spell that uses special runes with mana to allow participants to extract specific ingredients from the Augmentation Potion to gain the abilities of the monster. The entire ritual was a magic circle, with thirty-six angelic runes arranged around a fixed-size circle. Each of the three runes combined is equivalent to a spell that plays a specific role in the ritual, and then there are large spells consisting of 6, 9, and 18 runes.

Enhancement rituals can be broadly divided into two parts: physical and spiritual. The body part is more detailed, and the monster characteristics are one, and then there are physical qualities such as strength, flexibility, and endurance, and sensory abilities such as eyesight, hearing, and smell, as well as organ characteristics such as strengthening the heart and lungs, digestion, and detoxification.

Psychic sensing is to improve the ability of danger perception, crisis warning, and environmental control. This aspect of enhancement is a matter of luck and is generally considered unstable, so there is no need to invest too many runes in it. The runes modified by Feiqi are very extreme, and they are all used to strengthen mental induction. 18 + 9 + 6 + 3, thirty-six runes do not have a single spell to enhance the body.

"That's right, all strengthen the spirit, the body ......" Fei Qi felt awkward when he thought that the current body was actually someone else's, so he said: "The future of my body's development is too poor, and spells are my only choice, so the spirit is more important." ”

"The purpose of the augmentation ritual is to allow you to quickly obtain official status so that you can safely descend the mountain for the winter, and the higher the success rate, the better. The success rate of the body rune is the most guaranteed, but you can't help but be a bit extreme in doing so, not to mention that the failure rate has greatly increased, not to mention, it's ......" Old Man Kiplin pondered for a moment and said: "In case of failure, it will be too dangerous for you to go down the mountain, but staying on the mountain to deal with the geisman requires a stronger body." According to my previous method, even if the ritual fails, some of the body's strength can remain, and with meditation, safety is guaranteed. ”

"I'm not just thinking about how to spend this winter, but more about the future. I've made up my mind to make a path in the direction of spells, so everything has to be prepared for this. ”

The old man had a serious expression and kept staring at Feiqi without speaking for a long time. He was testing Feige's confidence, and if he wavered in the slightest, he wouldn't approve of this extreme ritual, even if the runes of the ritual were written correctly, even more than he had expected Feige's mental abilities.

Feige smiled steadfastly, from the very beginning until Old Man Kiplin finally nodded in agreement. "Feiqi, you want me to arrange the ritual runes for you like this, then you have to answer my question: what kind of thinking did you arrange these runes?"

"The soul is the basis of spells, and the soul is the power that can actively transform the attributes of the world......" Fei Qi frowned at the old man, obviously he did not hold such an opinion. It was also inappropriate to convince him that he didn't have time now, so Feige changed direction and said, "By casting spells, I've found that the more you focus on spells, the better they work. The mental uplift helps me to take control of my environment, use it, and speed up the speed and intensity of my focus. ”

"The runes are divided into four levels, starting with the strengthening of the simplest sensory organs of the three runes, and then the six runes mobilize all the abilities of the body to respond. But here in the Great Nine Runes, I transformed all the previous physical enhancements into the spiritual level, turned them into spiritual power perception, and then forcibly fixed them with the strongest eighteen runes, firmly locking the spiritual enhancement. I checked the information, and this eighteen runes can be used in the ritual of obtaining monster abilities to ensure that monster abilities are not lost, and can also be used for physical and mental enhancement. ”

Old man Kiplin nodded: "It seems that you have eaten it through." Yes, yes, although the enhancement ceremony is not very difficult, but in just three days, you can learn the angelic runes, and you can also read the materials, master the rune grammar of the ritual, and then make your own improvements, which is really not easy!"

Hearing the compliment, Feige scratched his head and smiled: "This is mainly your credit." That scroll had all the derivation of the new ritual on it, and it inspired me greatly. ”

"It's also that you understand quickly and have a smart brain. The old man narrowed his eyes and asked pointedly, "That's all you have to prepare?"

"During the ritual, I will use meditation to open the spiritual channel and make the effect better. ”

Although meditation will not affect the success rate, it may enhance the effect when it is successful. The old man finally gave him a piece of advice: "Don't drink alcohol, and take advantage of the strange smell of the potion!

So, the ceremony was decided. Old man Kiprin used special magic ink to write runes around the circle on the ground, and Feige stripped naked, carried the shelf to the middle of the circle, and then tied the handcuffs and shackles, and strung them with chains to the roof and the ground.

Kele extinguished the fire, waited for the potion to cool a little, and served it to Feige. The old man's runes had already been written, and the three of them checked them separately to make sure they were correct before they could start the ritual. Old Man Kiplin casts a magic spell to channel the power of the Goddess of Truth Thunder into the runes. As the runes were all lit and kept bright, the potion was drained. Kylie then tightened the chain and held Feige in place.

"Although I know you have learned, but let me say it again: the ritual takes at least three hours, and these three hours are the hardest. It's best if you stay awake all the time, and it's okay if you're dizzy. When all the runes are extinguished, it is time for the ritual to end. Kyriet will be waiting for you outside the door, but will never come in to help you for three hours. I couldn't hear the sound, and I didn't want to see you suffer, so I went back to my room. I'll pray for you, so hold on, Feige. ”

The two men went out, closing the heavy iron door, leaving Fitch alone in the room. The potion tastes okay when you drink it, but as soon as it enters the stomach, it starts to churn, and it constantly produces gas like a powerful carbonated drink. It turns out that the rising smell is really terrible, and it is good to burrow into the head from the stomach and make people want to faint.

And when Feige began to use the Eagle School meditation technique in order to enhance the effect, his sensory acuity was magnified several times, and the torture from the potion became more painful. In just a few minutes, the pain intensified to the point where the withdrawal reaction was at its strongest. His body began to twitch involuntarily, his nerves produced waves of twisted tingling signals, and various hallucinations began to appear in front of his eyes. However, he had already seen these phenomena when he was eliminating his drug addiction and struggling with withdrawal reactions, and he had already adapted to it to a certain extent, so he continued to maintain his meditation concentration, and he would not be affected by such illusions and torture at all.

The first rune on the ground flashed, sending an arc of lightning at Feiqi, hitting him right on the center of his eyebrow. It didn't hurt, but Feige was taken aback. In the enhancement ritual, the runes should emit flashes, how can they become electric arcs? Could it be related to pure spiritual enhancement? There are many records of strengthening the body, senses, organs, and characteristics, but there is no detailed description of the process of the pure spiritual enhancement ritual, just the sentence "This kind of ritual with a low success rate is actually feasible".

The runes flickered in turn, sending out arcs of electricity that struck Fitch's body with their characteristic rhythm and rhythm. These lightning bolts do not hurt and leave no marks on the body. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Feige wouldn't even feel an electric shock.

"If that's the case, three hours won't be hard...... Ahh

There were some things that could not be said, and the sharp pain came just when Feige thought he would get through it safely. Pain comes from the soul, and it's all pain by the standard of Feige's imagination. The torture took a toll on Feige's endurance, and it only took him a second for him to have the thought of "give up, give up, let me die!"

But if you die, you will go to hell, and you will come back to life. Death can't be died, and the pain of the soul, who knows if it will follow to hell? The pain struck again, and the memory of the fork in the road demon popped up directly in his mind: on the edge of a battlefield in hell, the unfavorable fork demon - the bone demon who was still more advanced than the contract demon at that time - was being whipped with a flaming whip by the leading deep hell purgatory.

The Bone Demon is not afraid of flames, but the whip of the Deep Hell Purgatory Demon rolls up the essential power of Hell, and each whip acts on the core of the Fork in the Road Demon. In unspeakable pain, its strength was shattered, and its physical form continued to degenerate, until it retreated to the Barb Demon, the weakest existence of the Intermediate Demon level.

"Pain?hell's flame whip, Thunder Goddess's lightning chain?Essential power change......" Fei Qi suddenly realized, his eyes widened, staring at the runes with all his attention, staring at the magic circle of the enhancement ritual, immersed in the state of learning in pain, and it was actually not so uncomfortable.

After a full twelve hours, the last rune dimmed, the ritual ended, and the ritual succeeded.
