Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Hand of the Witch of the Pit Daddy
For the next three days, Mo Chen spent the next three days in his room.
Except for the occasional blow on the deck, he usually asks the waiter to send him directly to the room even if he eats, and even if he arrives at some temporary stopping places on the way, he doesn't waste time when everyone goes down to play and sightsee.
He was mainly studying the forbidden notes and books he had collected from the world of disgrace, indulging in his studies and improving his occult knowledge.
Even if there is no system to indicate how many levels his "Occult General Knowledge" skill has improved, it is at least from LV0 to LV3 or LV4 compared to before.
It was only now that Mo Chen accepted the Outsider Demon Mark, and until now, there were still a few days left to be enough for two months.
And the experience of the world of dishonor, including collecting runes, strengthening and improving, learning occult knowledge or something, especially in the second half of the process, he has been consciously repeating this cyclical process.
Learning, actual combat, strengthening, and continuing this kind of behavior, it won't take much longer for Mo Chen to completely become another person.
Or no longer human.
In fact, he has become very different from human beings now, and his physical fitness and vitality have been greatly enhanced, allowing him to have extraordinary recovery and physical strength, and become more agile and strong.
If an ordinary pistol bullet hits him directly, it may still be able to hurt him, after all, flesh and blood can't turn directly into steel after all. But strictly speaking, this aspect is no longer a big threat to him, and it is far from fatal.
Moreover, his high-speed nervous reaction was really to the point where he could see the trajectory of the bullet and instantly reacted to draw a knife and cut the bullet.
Compared to ordinary people, Mo Chen's immunity strength is already strong enough to be able to immune most diseases and toxins, and his sensory perception is more acute and alert than that of ordinary humans-
For example, with a relatively good vision in the dark, the nose can clearly identify the source of a slight abnormal odor within a dozen meters, and the hearing range is far higher than that of ordinary people......
In addition to these outstanding performances in terms of physical ability, the upper limit of his magic power has also exceeded the standard of three hundred units, and the endurance of using extraordinary strength to fight has been greatly increased.
In the final battle, a large part of the reason for being able to take down the large number of witches is that he can throw spells almost at any cost......
Of course, even so, it still doesn't meet the conditions for the qualitative transformation of magic power.
As for the magic abilities mastered, in addition to "Void Perception", "Flickering Teleportation", and "Psychic Illusion...... and so on, in addition to the spells that have been mentioned before, and the branch skills and advanced effects that have been extended later.
Mo Chen also mastered a variety of other new spells one after another, not to mention the "catalytic bloodthirsty plants" and "creating undead creatures" that he learned to master through reading books.
In addition to Empress Emily's "shadow walking", he also mastered the "doppelganger" skill that also made a fuss about his own shadow.
Originally, he didn't plan to copy Empress Emily's skills exactly, but instead created an unnamed spell of his own, which would allow him to enter a location like a mirror from the real world.
For example, mirrors, glass windows, and even reflections on the surface of the water can also be reflected through these mirrors, jumping directly between the two mirrors.
For example, he can hide in a mirror, and if there is another mirror on the opposite side of the mirror, he can move it directly.
Compared to "Shadow Walking", which directly transforms itself into a shadow state, the two spells can be said to have their own advantages and disadvantages, and they are suitable for different occasions.
But later, Mo Chen found that many spells are involved in the whole body, if you master the relevant field first, then it is equivalent to learning the pre-skills, and the subsequent skill mastery will become smoother.
Just like the relationship between the Arcane Link and Domino, "Shadow Walk" transforms itself into a shadow state, while "Doppelganger" summons its own shadow.
Even its branching abilities are completely biased towards the realm of Shadow, and all of them are related to Shadow.
Therefore, in order to be able to learn such a powerful spell as the Split Body Technique more smoothly, Mo Chen finally mastered the state skill of incarnating a shadow.
As for the end, of course, it's about summoning animals.
Probably because the plague was so terrible that it left a deep impression on everyone in the world of shame, and this is reflected in the fact that many Indian journalists have mastered a spell ability called "devouring rat swarm".
A large swarm of hungry rats has been summoned and can quickly bite and devour a large living person alive and eat it all in a very short time, recreating the horrors of the plague.
But Mo Chen didn't have such a deep impression and feeling, the plague was just a simple term for him, a concept with no real sense.
With the help of the hand of a witch obtained from Paoolo, he experienced first-hand what it was like to escape death as an incarnate rat swarm, and then based on his experience in such related fields...... Start trying to master your own spells in this area.
So far, however, it has not been successful.
He's mainly trying to focus on this direction at the moment.
……
……
Sitting in his room, Mo Chen was studying a withered human hand, which belonged to a left severed hand, which was already dry and pitch black, and had a feeling of mummification.
This severed hand was supposed to belong to Vera Murray, an old witch known as Granny Brain, who was once a wealthy nobleman who began to engage in dark magic and descent into madness after an ill-fated expedition to the continent of Pandyssia.
She's a powerful witch, and some of her are no longer mortals—
It's as if Delilah used black magic to separate her soul and make a life box to obtain an immortal body. Vera Murray used her own abilities to seal her own soul.
She combined her soul with a jeweled pendant of her own portrait relief, thus gaining the power of longevity and immortality, a ritual that is said to have involved an ancient Pandysian legend.
Or maybe Delilah also came up with the idea of making a life box because of that ancient legend, who can know?
Fifteen years ago, Vera Murray was killed in the sewers by Her Majesty's legendary father, Corvo, and her marked left hand was eventually discovered by Paolo, the leader of the War Howlers.
Of course, now this left hand is in Mo Chen's hand.
The severed left hand had been branded with the mark of the Outsider, so it was rightfully preserved, and became a fairly powerful dark magic item.
Paoro, the leader of the Howl Gang, somehow found it, and thus obtained Granny Brain's ability to live long and be immortal, at least partially-
After being mortally wounded, he will transform into a swarm of rats, escape death, and be reborn in another place.
But unlike Granny Brain, this ability is partly because it can only resurrect Paolo once a day. If Paolo had been killed twice in a row on the day before sunset, he would have died completely.
After Mo Chen got this black magic item, he found an opportunity to try the power in it himself, and personally experienced the experience and feeling of incarnating into a swarm of rats.
However, if you turn it into some kind of stand-in experience, it will probably go well, and it seems to be a little difficult to use it as a springboard to jump to a realm where you can summon rats.
"Or you can indirectly achieve your goal by incarnating a rat swarm or something, but in this way, you will be equivalent to becoming a rat swarm...... Once you are hurt, you are also hurting yourself. ”
After flipping through a notebook belonging to an unknown witch again, Mo Chen pursed his lips and found that he only seemed to be able to think of such an idea at present.
"But in this way, it seems that the cart is a bit upside down, after all, the stand-in technique should be used to withstand attacks, and summoning animals should be used to help you attack......"
If two spells are combined to become a single spell, how can you be sure that they are strengthened and not weakened as a whole?
Looking at the withered and blackened witch's hand on the table, Mo Chen's eyes were blazing, to be honest, although the effect of this thing was quite powerful, allowing people to maintain the ability to live long and immortal, he didn't think about staying.
Unlike a small amulet or something, this is an old witch's severed hand!
Not to mention that it is not convenient to carry, it is still possible to make it into a talisman with the production skills that Mo Chen has mastered, but the problem is that this black magic effect is actually the power residue of the former Outsider Mark.
The more imprints this thing is, the better, this severed hand is on the body, and when it continues to play a role, it will interfere with Mo Chen-
He had to use his magic to suppress it at all times, or else the severed hand would suddenly burst out against him, the owner of the other sign.
It may not have much of an impact on him, but he doesn't usually need the ability to cut off his hand. And if he was in battle, he might be able to use the ability of this severed hand, but if he was not careful, he might die on this severed hand.
- This thing has the ability to resurrect people, but maybe you need to use the resurrection power because it kills you.
It's so bad that he can't cheat anymore, Mo Chen began to seriously think about how to deal with this severed hand in the future.
It's too wasteful to destroy it directly, and if it's just a collection, it's equivalent to having no real value, so it's better to sell it, right? No one is not afraid of death, and rich people are only more afraid of death, and they want to be able to sell it at a pretty good price.
But the problem is that you first need to prove that this thing is real, and you also need to design it well, and of course, you have to find a good goal.
Sighing, Mo Chen glanced at the time, then stood up and walked to the edge of his suitcase.
He took the cube out of it, thinking about whether to quickly return to the world of shame while there was still some time before the waiter delivered the food, and carve the runes for today.
He can carve two runes a day, and if he doesn't use such an opportunity, it will expire and become invalid, and it won't accumulate until tomorrow, he can't bear it.
But at this time, Mo Chen's mobile phone suddenly rang, and he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he looked at it.
The caller ID is his "mother".
Also, it's been another two months, and no matter how stiff and alienated the family relationship is, it's really time to make a phone call and say a few words, compared to the cost of international roaming.
This time is different from the past, Mo Chen was just startled, but he reacted immediately, and controlled his mental and emotional fluctuations very well.
He held his phone to his ear and pressed the call button a second later:
"Hello? Well, yes, it's me, the signal on the ship may not be very good...... I've signed up for a sightseeing tour now, and I'm on the boat, just a few days after I left...... That's right, it's by boat, not by plane, don't worry......"
