In order to hold an enhancement ceremony for his friends, Feige found a large room in the magic school, away from the teachers and students, and then began to arrange the spell runes. Neither in the past nor in the present, he could not use the power of the goddess to perform a safe and painless enhancement ritual, and could only use repeated torture to make his body adapt to it and reduce the risk of the ritual. This method worked for Tron and others, but ......

"Chief, Pun Pun is wrong, let Pun Pun down!" the goblin was hung in the air, snot and tears in his eyes, and he struggled desperately. It had been yelling, and if it weren't for the soundproofing magic being in effect, I'm afraid the whole school would have heard it, and half of the children would have had nightmares tonight.

"Ramsden has persevered, and I think you'll be fine. And don't worry, I'll treat you even if you're injured – Ramsden didn't have that kind of privilege back then. Feige smiled, but in the eyes of his friends, he thought it was a little cruel. Feiqi said: "Hold on for another hour, and I think this time I can succeed." ”

"It's going to take another hour? Help! I don't want to continue! I'm going to die!"

Without a strong will and the active cooperation of the soul, the enhancement ritual cannot be successful. Feige had been observing the state of his friend's soul, and when he noticed that his resistance was very firm, he reluctantly stopped the ritual early. It's a pity to lose the opportunity to adapt in advance, but if you force it to continue, it will only enhance the resistance to the ritual, which is equivalent to increasing the failure rate. Fei Qi scratched his hair, a little hated that iron could not be made of steel: "Does it hurt so much?

"Chief, it really hurts! The internal organs are almost rotten! Woo woo woo ......" There were two big tears hanging from under Peng Peng's eyes, and they didn't look like they were disguised. Feige stepped forward, untied its hands and feet, and performed Heal Hell.

"Strange, why are there so many wounds?" Feige found that there were many dark wounds in Peng Peng's body, which were not visible to the naked eye on the surface, which he did not expect at all. Judging from the location of the injury, this should have been caused by this augmentation ritual. "Shouldn't this be?!I've checked it many times, and there's nothing wrong with the circle!" he continued to heal from hell, speeding up the recovery of the goblin's wounds.

"Spells...... Peng Peng didn't know what was going on...... Punpeng feels so much better now. Can the Chief allow Friends to rest and rest?" the goblin thought very hard and added, "Chief, as long as Friends have a good rest, they should be able to continue the enhancement ceremony tomorrow!"

"Okay, then you can rest first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. "Feige could feel that the effectiveness of Hell was decreasing, indicating that the injury had healed and would heal soon. "Whew...... Although there were many wounds, fortunately they were not too serious. ”

Peng Peng's eyes suddenly widened, his mouth was also very large, and there was no problem with stuffing his fist in: "Do you really want it tomorrow?" Chief, Peng Peng just hissed politely!"

"It's okay, I'm not polite anyway. Feige waved his hand, "Don't worry, let me figure out what's going on first." ”

After saying that, Fei Qi himself stood in the center of the enhanced ritual circle, and then directly opened the spell. The writing of the enhancement ritual runes on the ground was designed for Pengpeng, and it did not fit Feiqi's physique, let alone his needs. But anyway, this is a test, and it doesn't really mean to change the physique, and it won't be a big deal if you get an electric shock.

That's what Feige thinks, but that's not how it works. In just three seconds, the augmentation ritual had already caused wounds on Fitch's body, and it was that obvious, open-ended trauma. This time the pain of the ritual was much worse than in the past, and Feige stumbled straight away, almost not rolling out of the ritual.

"Chief, Peng Peng is right, it really hurts!"

The goblin was right, but it actually smiled secretly, and was seen by Feige. So Feige flicked a little lightning bolt over, scorched the two pinches of hair on the top of its head, and then yelled, "Get out, hurry up and rest, or I'll replace you in now!"

The friend slipped away as he wished, leaving Feige to continue his abptism in the Enhancement Ritual. It was really only possible to find out the problem by entering the ritual in person, and the entire spell array became very violent and ferocious, and there was no sense of even the slightest protection for the ritual personnel. Feige seemed to hear the lightning in the circle roaring "Shred, destroy, reconstruct!"

How so? Feige's own improved ritual is more dangerous than that of the True Goddess Priest, but at least it does not deviate from the realm of the Goddess of Truth Thunder to enhance the goodness of the ritual, and still exists for the purpose of "good". Now, the whole ritual seems to be reversed, and torture has become an important factor, even more than "transformation".

As the wounds mounted, Fitch had to resort to hell healing to recover. If the healing and damage can be balanced, then the enhancement ritual can at least continue, right? However, when the aura of hell diffuses in the circle, the damage of lightning is no longer so frequent, and it can be said that it suddenly becomes tame. The damage caused by the ritual has shifted more from physical wounds to mental coercion, which is more like the normal enhancement ritual of the past.

"It's getting weirder...... What's the connection between the Infernal Breath and the Enhancement Ritual?"

Feige tried, and when there was no Hell Healing, the ritual was torture, and when the Infernal Breath was cast, the ritual became normal. This phenomenon made him pause, and he double-checked the magic circle on the ground, convinced that these runes could not have a related effect on the hell healing, ruling out the possibility that the two spells would interfere with each other, but it was still the same phenomenon when he tried again. Then, he simply changed the contents of the circle to a combination of all the runes that enhanced his physical fitness, and then stood in the middle again.

This time was even stranger!When the lightning of the augmentation ritual struck Feiqi in the breath of hell healing, a layer of skin was directly peeled off, but there was no pain in the slightest. Underneath the disappearing human skin is actually a red devil skin, and if you look closely, you can even determine that it is a contract demon. Feige concentrated for a moment, and even the text of the contract appeared from this section of red skin!

He was startled and quickly jumped out of the Enhancement Ritual Circle. Looking down again, the wound was still there, the red color had turned to muscle and blood coming out of the wound, and the hell was prompting it to recover quickly.

"This ......" Feige adjusted his breathing to calm down his excitement and make sure he was hallucinating. "I've been thinking too much about the devil lately, and I've had problems with my spell control......?

He decided to calm down and left the spell lab to check on the students. Some time ago, he had already answered the questions that the students had accumulated when they were studying on their own, and all the answers were written on the blackboard for everyone to study together. No matter what everyone's progress is, there is something to be learned from other people's questions and Feige's answers, so even the vice principal, Liz, is learning in the classroom.

These questions and answers are sorted out and can be read by future students, which can greatly improve efficiency. Feige entered the classroom and chatted with everyone for a while, explained in detail a few difficult questions, and then assigned new assignments. "Look for Pastor Uss and look for information in the church's library called 'The Last Light of Hope'. Write down the methods, when, and conclusions you used to find out, and then talk to each other to see who has the best approach. In the future, you will have a lot of things to do to find information from books and solve problems. Okay, now let's take a break. ”

Regardless of the world, a sudden increase in homework is not good news for students. In a sigh, Feige called out to Liz, the priestess of the Hidden Treasure. "Ah, Headmaster. Do you have anything to do with me when Miss Shannie isn't around?"

"Xia Ni and Beni have a day off today, and they went shopping for clothes...... Why am I telling you this, seriously. Fei Qi shook his head quickly, tried to raise his head upward, and said, "I was thinking about the original problem with the Eight Eyes Clan's Transfiguration Technique. ”

"It's best not to probe that spell again, it's too dangerous, you should know it. ”

"I know. I didn't use that spell, but it had a similar effect when experimenting with other spells. I'm thinking that if a person who has disguised himself is transformed again, it will be based on his soul or his current body. ”

"Well, I guess I'd better talk about this spell in a secluded place. ”

They found a place where they wouldn't be disturbed or overheard by the students, and then continued with the conversation. Liz says that the Octamu were enclosed underground, and that the question of the survival of the species had once made them desperate, so they did conduct many experiments that now seemed crazy and evil. Bamboo rats that were able to control their behavior patterns by light were the result of constant experimentation, and they were actually the only species that were lucky enough to survive.

"Our spell wiped out the scorpions and centipedes in the underground caverns, and then caused the mushrooms to mutate and had to be cleaned up. It's a pity that the earthworm died, and it was also caused by spells - originally dried earthworms were quite popular, and there were various flavors. Transfiguration is really, really, really dangerous. Liz adjusted her sitting position and exchanged the relationship between the two long legs. "Your question is interesting, it took our researchers a long time to understand the relationship between the influence of the body and the soul in Transfiguration. Do you want to hear it?"

"Of course, are you deliberately trying to whet my appetite?" Feige's eyes widened.

"Permanent effects are based on the soul, and temporary effects are based on the body. The conclusion of our research is that souls seem to be able to recognize the effects of spells. This ability to identify has nothing to do with a creature's knowledge of spells, not even the species. If you think about it, if you think about it, maybe this can be used as evidence for your 'soul changes the world' theory. ”

"Souls are able to recognize whether a spell effect is permanent or temporary...... I really haven't thought about that. I've always believed that the soul knows the world through the human mind, at least at such a high level as spells. Is there anything else you have discovered, can you tell me about it?"

"Of course, but again, the spell that turns other creatures into the Eight-Eyed Clan must not be passed on. ”

The Eight-Eyed Clan are masters of using spells, and Fei Qi was sure from the beginning, otherwise he would not have invited them to come to the magic school as preparatory instructors. Compared to the others, the Yakusha—now the Fuzo Woman—only had to adapt to the new rune system, and then supplement their knowledge under the rules of magic, and they would soon become qualified magicians. Their past research was too focused on the field of Transfiguration, which was commonly known as too biased, and the runes of the Creator were not as efficient as the current magic runes.

But Feige also had to admit that the runes of the Creator were more basic and closer to the primitive rules of the world, especially when it came to the soul and body.

Liz talks a lot, including some very secretive things. They tried not only the overall transformation technique, but also some partial transformation, trying to solve the problem of the imbalance in the number of men and women in the ethnic group at that time. These spells have had many terrible consequences, some of which can even torture people into monsters with no mind but destruction. However, there are also some local deformations that are stable, and these results are eventually integrated into the "Eight Eyes Transfiguration".

These experiences and lessons from the Eight-Eyed Clan's spell research have given Feiqi a lot of inspiration, and he now has a new theory about the anomalies that arise during the enhancement ritual. The theory made him eager to test it, so after the secret conversation and sincere thanks to Liz for her explanation, Feige immediately returned to the room of the augmentation ceremony.

The Enhancement Ritual is undoubtedly a Transfiguration ritual with a permanent altering effect, and is soul-led, which is consistent with the conclusions of Feige's previous research. The original ritual used the power of the goddess, which can be considered to be the influence of the heavenly realm on the mortal world, but can the hellish breath brought by the hell treatment be considered to guide the power of hell?

channeling the power of hell so that the changes to the body are based on contract demons, which is in line with the reality that there is a contract demon part of Feiqi's soul. At that time, the lightning bolts from the augmentation ritual would have to be called "helllightning...... There is no physical pain, is it because the superficial human body is false in the eyes of the devil, and the physical body of the contract demon is real?

This then begs two questions: what happens to the use of Augmentation Rituals in Hell, and why can't the Celestial Forces support ordinary Augmentation Rituals now?

The second question has to be asked to the heavenly realm. Not long ago, he sent the little angel of the Holy Light to the Kingdom of God, and Fei Qi couldn't trouble it so soon, right? Moreover, it was the territory of the goddess, so he ran to the goddess and asked, "Goddess, I am not your priest, why don't you support me in using the enhancement ritual now?" Fei Qi thought for a moment, and it seemed that he was dying to ask this kind of question......

The first question is easier to deal with. Feige asked Midnight to guard the door, then opened the three-barrel circle and went straight to Hell.

It was indeed more convenient to harvest the dagger with the soul, but that would consume the unknown black substance in the soul crystal, and Feiqi always felt that it was better to save it.

The breath of hell tingles Feiqi's skin, but it heals quickly under the influence of the devil's spirit. He walked straight through the passage to the ruins outside, then grabbed a handful of dirt and began to trade his "favorability" for the materials needed to create the magic circle.

Soon the material is in the dirt and just needs to be dug up. Fei Qi felt awkward when he thought that these "favorability" had already been "plucked" by the fork in the road. If it weren't for the vigilance to discover the truth, I would have thought I was the boss, but in fact I was still a slave.

He quickly cleared a clearing and began drawing the circle of enhancement rituals. This time it's an experiment, so it's not too complicated, just the simplest combination of runes that "increase physical strength" is enough. Considering that this is in Hell, Fitch completely dispenses with magic runes and uses them with magic or demonic hell runes instead. He doesn't need to be concise and efficient now, he just focuses on the purity of the experiment.

"But what is the substitute for the prayer to the goddess in the original ritual?" Fei Qi finished drawing the circle, considering this as he examined the runes. Come to think of it, hell's "favorability" seems like a viable option. "Faith and piety exchange blessings, and hell favor is also a trading system. Of course, hell and goddesses are not comparable at all, but now only favorability can be exchanged!"

After piecing things together, everything seemed to be ready, and Feige began the experiment with the confidence that "I can't die anyway". The initiation of the ritual is normal, and all the runes have a response to the spell, which is a good sign, at least proving that the enhancement ritual can also be used in the Underworld, and the principle has not changed.

However, the effect of the spell changed, and the lightning turned red, which was the devil's representative color. Compared to the enhancement ritual performed in the human world, the spell did not hurt or itch on the body, and even a little comfortable, which was really very unexpected by Feiqi. Shouldn't the devil represent painful suffering?

The ritual continued for a while, and Feige's human body did not change much, and the phenomenon of breaking through the skin to reveal the contract demon did not appear—but at this time Feige had not used the favor of Hell. He slowly crouched down, grasping the dirt on the ground with both hands, and then focused his mind on the idea of exchanging "body transformation energy" for good feelings.

Suddenly, dozens of gray-black lightning bolts rushed towards Feiqi from all directions, shattering his human body in an instant! The process was so rapid that the pain had not yet been transmitted from the nerves to his mind, and the nervous system had disappeared. Hell immediately created a contract demon body for him, but the enhancement ritual still didn't stop.

The devil can be advanced, and the "body transformation energy" of hell is this power. Most of the high-level Devils and several special mid-level Devils have the ability to promote lower-level Devils, making them more suitable for being the commander of the Devil's Legion. Contract Demons are not among these special demons, but the Hellpurgatory Demons are!

This power is called devil shaping, and it is like pinching a low-level devil like plasticine, and then kneading it into a higher-level devil. If the Hellpurgatory wants to, it can even turn the lowest-tier inferior demon into a new Hellpurgator - for a sufficient price. The price is usually the lives of more "innocent" demons, or the soul coins collected by the Deep Hell Purgatory, and of course, it can also be the favor of Hell. It's just that hell favor is the most cherished of all the "costs", and even the Deep Hell Purgatory doesn't want to consume it.

The secret of the devil's shaping, the fork in the road demon did not tell Feiqi, but the secret of the enhancement ritual Feiqi was not revealed to the fork in the road demon. The enhancement ritual triggered the Devil Shaping ability of the Deep Hell Purgatory, and any Devil with a territory would gain the power to promote other lower-level Devils the day after tomorrow, so the current situation was created: Feige began to use the Contract Demon as the basis to advance himself.

Feige watched the changes in his body, even if he didn't know what was going on with the devil's shape, but he guessed the situation in an instant. "Stop! stop now!" Feige forcibly closed the booster circle, allowing the gray-black advanced lightning to dissipate into the air. He slowly stood up, the body of the contract demon emitting green smoke, then slowly recovered from the expanded state, and then stabilized.

What kind of devil could it be that the Contract Demon advanced upwards? Feige searched the knowledge of the Fork in the Road Demon and found that there was very little information about this aspect, and it was obvious that it was deliberately reserved (concealed). However, just now during the enhancement ritual, Feiqi had the feeling that countless spikes were about to drill out all over his body. The Contract Demon obviously doesn't turn into a hedgehog, but there is indeed a mid-level devil with thorns all over his body, which is a little higher than the Contract Demon in the battle sequence, called the Spike Demon.

"I believe that if I pay enough hellish favor, I'll be on my way. It's just that it's not 'me' that's advanced, it's a fork in the road. "That's why Feige stopped progressing. "Since the Hell's favor can indeed make the devil advance, then my previous guesses about the fork in the road demon are logically fine. As long as it gathers enough Hell Favor, it will inevitably return to the state of the Deep Hell Purgatory and regain control of everything. ”

"I have to make sure that my progression is all about myself. Fei Qi looked at the body of the contract demon and shook his head secretly: "This body is definitely not good, it must be discarded." To do this, you have to go to the first level of hell. All souls who are new to Hell will be able to acquire a corresponding body there. ”

"Originally, I was going to find a Devil Lord and exchange the battle records of Hell for advancement, but now I may not need such a dangerous method. Fei Qi pinched his chin and pondered: "The enhancement ritual can allow the body to obtain the abilities of other species, if the body of other demons is used as a material, can it be oriented to advance?" Well, this is indeed a good research direction. ”

"Is it possible to make a guess now, that is, all the demons from the inferior demon to the deep hell purgatory demon are essentially the same creature, but the power they carry and the ability they manifest are different? Can spells like the Eight Eyes Transfiguration be used on the devil, or mixed in the enhancement ritual? Hmm...... This is a matter of becoming a devil first, and it is better to observe how other devils have progressed. ”

"What kind of devil will my soul become?" Feige looked up at the ceiling of the seventh floor of Hell, "longing......
