Chapter 1620: Transformation in the Battle (25)

It was about 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

In a compartment in the medical chamber of the British battleship Palamides, there lies Bediwell, a werewolf young man who has fallen unconscious from the fierce battle. At the moment, he was having nightmares due to extreme fatigue and pain, sweating profusely and muttering in slurred words.

And a hand gradually approached the forehead of the werewolf youth.

"Whew!" As if instinctively acting, Bediwell woke up in an instant and bit down on that arm.

"Your Majesty!" exclaimed Kador, the Knight of the Round Table, drawing his sword from its sheath.

"It's okay, don't worry. The Knight King dissuaded his men with a flat face, and glanced at the werewolf youth.

Bediwell was now biting King Arthur's right arm tightly with his mouth, like a wounded beast, his mouth clenched and his eyes staring at the King of Great Britain with a wild and primitive light. There was not even the slightest humanity in that look, it was the eyes of a complete beast, and he seemed to be about to tear off the flesh on the Knight King's arm and eat it at any moment!

However, this state lasted less than a second. The wild glint in Bediwell's eyes was soon replaced by reason. Only then did he realize that he had hurt King Arthur, and at the same time, he was shocked and let go of his mouth in a panic: "Ya... ......?!"

"Pretty fast, Bedi. The Knight King remained unusually calm, as if Bedivel had bitten his hand bleeding, but he felt no pain at all: "And as I feared, has the [beast] in you awakened too?" ＂

The werewolf youth looked pained, probably he felt extremely guilty about the mistake of biting King Arthur just now.

However, King Arthur's arm is healing rapidly, and King Arthur will have an amazing ability to heal himself with the King's Sheath Protector. This little injury, the king didn't care at all.

"Cador, you go out and retreat for a while, I have something to talk to Bedeville alone. ＂

"Are you sure he won't go berserk and bite again, Your Majesty?" the Knight of the Round Table still looked skeptical: "Your Majesty, it's better to get some rabies vaccines first, and if this kid is not honest, you should put a mask on him first." ＂

The Knight King gave Kador a fierce look. Kador smiled wryly and retreated outside the cubicle of the medical room.

"You've really overdone it this time, Bediwell. After waiting for no one to be around, the Knight King began to speak: "I know that in order to restrain the gladiator Berelde's mental eye, you will definitely come up with a similar method of fighting. But I really didn't know that you would let the beast inside you get out of control to that point. It looks like you're still lacking in exercise. ＂

"I'm sorry. Bediwell sighed: "In that other world nine hundred years later, I have obviously practiced everything very skillfully. But I think that in that world, I was a human wolf, and I was originally a demon who could change between the form of a human and a wolf at will, so I controlled everything so naturally. If it is replaced by my body in our world, there will be deviations in control. ＂

"You were almost completely consumed by the consciousness of the beast while fighting. The Knight King hit the nail on the head and said, "What if you really become a beast and your consciousness never comes back?" Do you really want to be a stupid wolf for the rest of your life, and even your wish will never be fulfilled again?"

Bediwell frowned aggrievedly. Indeed, he also felt the danger of doing so, but at that time, in the middle of the battle, Bediwell's brain was so hot that he couldn't care so much, so he could only bite the bullet and fight Bereld to the death with [Beast Liberation]. In retrospect, it was a terrifying, thrilling act of folly. Bediwell's consciousness as a [human] has almost crossed that insurmountable threshold and has been completely swallowed up by the consciousness of the [beast].

No, not [almost crossed], but [actually crossed]. At the moment when he was hit hard by his opponent, Bediwell's own consciousness did disappear for a second.

At that time, the [beast] consciousness in Bediwell's body completely controlled his body, and he should have seized control of that body in one fell swoop, so that Bediwell would completely become a beast from now on. However, the "beast" within Bediwell seems to have shown mercy and finally returned control to Bediwell's consciousness as a [human].

This time it was just good luck. It won't be so lucky next time. Thinking of this, Bediwell's forehead couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

And yet, wait. "Great mercy"?—since he knows how to be merciful, if he knows how to leave room and not devour everything savagely, does that mean that the consciousness of [the beast] in Bedivel is in fact an independent personality - or "beast personality"?

Bedivir seemed to be able to sense that there really was another Bedivir within him, a wolf, a real beast. It's a scary thing to think about.

"What do you have in mind, Bedeville?" Seeing that the werewolf youth was in a daze and looking frightened, King Arthur also sensed something: "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"Nope. Not ...... for the time being The werewolf youth only felt that his mind was so confused, and he couldn't sort out his thoughts for a while. In addition to the chaos, his heart was full of fear.

Something similar happened seven years ago. Of course, no one in the world remembers this except Bediville himself. At that time, the young and ignorant Bediwell had not yet mastered his madness, and after he became a beast, he could not come back, and became a great wolf with no humanity.

How did he recover after that? At that time, he heard from his companions that it was because Tristan died in the fire that the wildness in Bediwell's body was suppressed and humanity was restored to its current state. But in fact, Bediwell's memories of that time were very vague, and he couldn't remember the details at all.

The only thing that is certain is that there is a certain "beast" with independent consciousness that has been living in Bediwell's body all along. It has been there for a long time, and it will probably exist in Bediwell's body for the rest of his life.

Until now, the werewolf youth seemed to be able to feel the beast's gaze, and it was watching him. This sent a chill down Bediwell's spine.

As if seeing through everything, King Arthur blinked and continued: "Bedeville, the next thing I want to tell you is very important, and I hope you will keep it a secret. Even within Great Britain, this is a state-level top secret, you know?"

Beddwell nodded, and promised to come down first, no matter what the Knight King wanted to say next.

"Alright, I'm going to get started. King Arthur surveyed his surroundings, sat down at Bediwell's bed, and began to narrate in a low voice:

"You know what, Bediville. Seven years ago, after the great battle between the human alliance in the Radiant Realm and the orc alliance in the Dark Realm, Great Britain actually secretly stole the corpses of a hundred ownerless orcs. At that time, we were very interested in the body structure of orcs, and we wanted to get more research materials anyway, so we took the risk of violating ethics. If this matter is known to the orc united tribes in the Dawning Region, it is estimated that they will have a big opinion, and it will even become the fuse of another war. ＂

"I know," Bediwell swallowed, "so I'm not going to tell you about it." ＂

"Well, I can trust you, after all, you're Bedi. The Knight King nodded and continued, "All in all, despite the unethical violation, we have dissected the hundred corpses in detail. Some of these corpses are very well preserved, and the study of these corpses fills a long-standing gap in human knowledge about the body structure of orcs.

The final conclusion is that, with the exception of a very small number of parafunctional internal organs, the internal structure of orcs is almost indistinguishable from that of humans. Whether it is the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, intestines, gallbladder, or even reproductive organs, the organs of orcs are almost exactly the same as those of humans. There is only one thing, which is unique to orcs that humans don't have.

The hypothalamus pituitary of orcs has an additional tumor-like structure. The tumor, the size of a grain of sand, was the orc's [transformation organ]. ＂

"What?" Bediwell couldn't help but be stunned: "What organ?!"

"Shapeshifting organs, Beddieville. The Knight King repeated, "There really is such a thing." ＂

Bediwell couldn't wait to complain: "I don't understand. Isn't the transformation of orcs also a spell? similar to creation magic or something...... ＂

"It really should be. But have you seriously considered it, Bedi? Ordinary creation magic is just the use of photons to make matter bigger and smaller, such as the giants' giant and shrinking. But the transformation of the orcs is more complicated, even specific to the point of controlling the changes in every part of the body. Since it is such a complex transformation, it cannot be explained by [Creation Magic] alone.

In fact, the [Shapeshifting Organ] in your orcs controls everything, allowing the orcs to use [Creation Magic] to precisely change into one, if not many patterns. That's why you can become one of those huge monsters full of muscles when you use [Marenity], and pure beasts when you use [Beastification].

Inside the [Transformation Organ] there is a kind of memory cell that is usually deeply dormant and only active during transformation. Every time the orcs transform, they will extract the corresponding genetic code from the memory cells of this transformation organ, and then use these codes to precisely control the transformation. It is precisely because of the precise control of the [Transformation Organs] that you orcs can have more than four transformations, including [Frenzy] and [Bereavement]. ＂
