Chapter 32: Shock

Life in the Mutant Academy is always extraordinarily laid-back.

Alec's time is spent researching spells, and he conducts a lot of spell experiments every day, some of them are flame-based, some are curse-based.

Compared to flame-based spells, curse-based spells are more spooky and more lethal. It's worth noting that we're talking about lethality, not destructiveness. Cursed spells don't have great frontal combat capabilities, and many spells have a large number of cast (effect) conditions that don't work if they can't be met. If this is on a frontal battlefield and the caster's spell suddenly doesn't work, the idiot knows what will happen next.

Of course, there is no shortage of spells that take effect quickly.

For example, the classic mid-level spell [Aging], and the classic beginner spell [Curse of Weakness].

Alec knew both spells, but he had never used them before, because curse spells had another problem.

That is, the spell model is complex.

Take the low-level spell [Curse of Weakness] as an example, this spell can weaken the opponent's strength by about one-third (at the same level), but the spell model of this spell is 3 times that of a normal low-level spell. Tripling the size of the spell model not only increases the cast time, but also risks spell build failures and spell breaks.

And that's just low-level spells.

If it is a mid-tier [Aging], its spell model is ten times larger than that of a normal mid-tier spell.

With such a huge spell model, it is simply impossible to build it on the spot, and the only option for the spellcaster is to prepare the spell model in advance and then call it directly in battle.

…………

Alec had plans to use curse-based spells, and a single flame-based spell would be flawed after all, and if he encountered an opponent who restrained the flames, his situation would become very awkward.

For this, he has a lot to prepare.

The tears of the wraith, the heart of the zombie, the flower of the devil crying vine, the skin of the six-eyed demon dog......

And, of course, the most important thing is a tome for storing curse-based spell models.

Spell materials are easy to get in Hell, and curse spells are more common, as long as you have money (souls) to buy them. Although Alec is not in Hell, he has the ability of the Merchant of Hell, which minimizes the cost of interdimensional transactions, allowing him to get them all at a small cost.

But the Grimome is not so easy to get.

The Tome is a tool for the caster to store spells, but it is not the only one who can use the Tome, in fact, as long as the intelligence (charisma) is high enough, any class can borrow the Tome to use spells.

For this reason, the Grimoire is sky-high even in Hell.

A magic book with a good spell model is generally worth 10,000 to 100,000 souls (depending on the capacity of the magic book, as well as the spells inside), even if it is a blank magic book, the price will not be less than 5,000 souls.

Alec can't take out this soul.

Unless, he plans to give up the stronghold of Island City Prison and go straight to a slaughter-style harvest.

…………

Five thousand souls, where are you going to get so many souls?

Alec's headache, the Marvel world provides souls in a trickle-up manner, if there is enough time, it is not difficult to get so many souls, but in a hurry, it is too difficult.

He thought about the contracts he had sent out.

In the past six months or so, he has sent nearly 100 contracts to the short-range plane of the Marvel world, but none of them have been responded.

It is very difficult to find a new plane, but after finding a new plane, the devil will not only gain the plane from which he came. Take Alec as an example, he found the Marvel world, but in fact, he gained more than just the world of Marvel, he may also find a lot of short-range planes...... Of course, finding the proximity plane is a matter of luck, and Marvel may have many proximity planes, or none at all.

The relationship between the Marvel world and these near-range planes is actually similar to that of the Earth and the Moon.

The Marvel plane is the Earth, the main body of these worlds, while the Near plane is the Moon, a satellite-like existence.

…………

The secondary plane should not be difficult to find.

Alec made another twenty contracts, and with the help of the will of hell, sent them to other worlds.

The Marvel world is very large, in addition to the earth as the center of the world, there are even many extraterrestrial civilizations like Asgard, and a world of this level should not be without a short-range plane.

…………

To Alec's surprise, the call from the short-range plane was not received, but the call from the Marvel world came again.

He greeted Nicole and the others, then straightened his clothes and put on his mask, answering the call.

A brief feeling of vertigo passed.

A somewhat familiar voice came into Alec's ears.

"Long time no see, honorable Mr. Devil."

It's General Ross.

Alec sighed helplessly: "Rose, I remember that every contract has a specific owner. If Bruce Banner's share fell into your hands, I can understand that. Now, maybe you should explain to me why Tony Stark's contract is in your hands? ”

Ross looked embarrassed: "Mr. Stark is an ally of the military, sometimes ......"

"Sometimes, the military will snatch things from their allies, Tony Stark, for their own benefit, right?"

Rose's face turned the color of pork liver.

Alec didn't embarrass him anymore: "Tell me, what's the matter with you this time?" ”

Rose's face looked a lot better: "I am very grateful to Mr. for his help to me, but this time, there were some small accidents in my experiment, so I had to ask Mr. for help......"

Alec waved his hand impatiently, "Long story short. ”

Ross said, "I would like to purchase some [Tranquility] scrolls again. Of course, if possible, I'd prefer to get the method of making the [Tranquility] Scroll! ”

"Oh?"

Alec raised an eyebrow, stared into Rose's eyes, and asked, "Banner ran away?" ”

Rostan nodded: "Yes, he ran away." ”

Alec nodded, and then asked, "How many scrolls do you want?" ”

Ross said, "The more the merrier!" ”

Alecki said, "To control a Banner, can you use so many Tranquility Scrolls? Rose, I want you to be honest with me, mutual trust is the key to a successful transaction, and that 'little accident' in your mouth is probably not as easy as you say, right? ”

Rose smiled bitterly: "Of course, if it is not a last resort, I will not make a deal with the devil." ”

"Let's be honest, with Banner's blood, we've done a lot of experiments and made a lot of breakthroughs. But there is one difficulty that we have not been able to break through, and that is to replicate the Hulk. Just the other day, we conducted an experiment, a human trial, at a secret military base in Florida. We injected Banner's blood into ten prisoners, and according to pre-experiment estimates, it was impossible for ordinary people to withstand the energy in their blood, I thought they would die, but they didn't......"

"Not only did they not die, but they turned into Hulk and ran away?" Alec's voice raised an octave, "Rose, you're trying to tell me that there are ten Hulks running around in Florida right now?" And all these Hulks are the most dangerous prisoners? ”
