The speed at which the sword pierced suddenly stopped. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The smoothness of the info through the clay suddenly became so hard that it seemed to have pierced into tough leather and thick rock.

The long sword in Hiko's hand was not the divine weapon in the firmament's hand, and in this sudden change, he could only be forced to stop. And this also allowed him to see the changes in the battle mage with his own eyes and understand the reason why everything happened.

The battle mage's chest, pierced by the broken sword, was already bulging with a very conspicuous position. It's not a bulging look, but a sign that muscles, skin, and even bones are expanding. Those muscles and tendons that had obviously been severed suddenly seemed to come back to life at this moment, and they writhed desperately like a living python, biting the blade that was constantly exerting downward force. The surging power that burst out of it even caused the already mutilated sword to make a subtle crackling sound again.

This is almost impossible for a spellcaster to do. Because it means incomparably more physical strength. Only those warriors who have trained their bodies to the extreme can do this, and apart from them, only those monsters can show such strength.

Of course, a battle mage cannot be a warrior who is at the pinnacle of his skill and can perfectly control his own body. So he rightfully belongs to the latter.

A monster! It's not an exaggeration to describe today's battle mages. Because his body did begin to develop in the direction of distortion.

Those twisted muscles on the chest had completely transcended the limitations of human species, becoming thick and weird. The shattered breastplate could not stop the spread and growth of these muscular masses, and almost in a swarming stance, the crazy sprouts broke through the shackles of steel and ice, and spread out from the only exit.

This is just the beginning, not the end.

The insane growth of muscles means that everything contained within them is undergoing this terrible aberration. This kind of crazy growth is definitely not one-sided, but total. So, as the large hole in his chest was squeezed and exploded little by little, the entire body of the battle mage began to make a constant crackling sound.

It wasn't the sound of his body, but the sound of his swelling body constantly pushing open the ice armor on his body, forcing these hard ice cubes to burst. This means that his body is getting bigger, and this is exactly what he does.

In an instant, the size of this battle mage who fell to the ground had more than doubled. The huge muscles spread to almost every corner of his body, and the bones inside became extremely conspicuous and extremely thick. Like a giant tree trunk that grew in an instant, each bone extension filled more corners with those swelling muscles, which naturally made his body even bigger and more terrifying.

The change in body shape is only a part, and the more important thing is the change in appearance. It was already so distorted that the ugly face had been reduced to horror at this time. The appearance of the person has been completely torn apart by this change, leaving only a vague trace of the true appearance of the monster in its original form.

The corners of his mouth were pulled almost to the base of his ear, making his large mouth unusually hideous. And his original teeth were also changing, a large number of teeth were spit out of his mouth like rice, and the gums of those molars suitable for chewing were regrown with sharp razor-like teeth. Neat and tidy, like a file. Such teeth combined with the kind of big mouth that doesn't even have a lip flap is really a terrible visual impact.

Of course, the shock is much more than that.

With the crazy skyrocketing of muscles and bones. The battlemage's form was finally finalized. And as soon as this physical stereotype ended, the change in appearance followed.

First of all, the change is on the skin. The battle mage's original skin had already grown up like muscles, and it had become fragmented when it burst through the armor. And after his form was set, the skin was not repaired. Instead, it has shifted in the other direction.

A layer of tough, smooth skin covered the body of this battle mage. Then there were countless dark gray scales, like weeds that had risen wildly overnight, and instantly spread to every corner of his body. Body, limbs, and even face. Even the most hidden parts of the body are covered in these scales. It felt like a full-fledged snug armor. And if you think about the thickness of the muscles under these scales, you can guess how much defense it really has.

These scales undoubtedly provide a full range of protection for a battle mage. And when it comes to combat, he can rely on more than that.

Changing into monsters, the arms of battle mages also began to change. The severed arm immediately regrew in the distortion rush. Although it still barely maintains the structure of a human palm, the feeling of knotted muscles and the sharp wedge-shaped claws of a knife blade are obviously more suitable for the image of the monster. At the same time, at the center of his eyebrows, a long, rugged horn stretched out little by little. The horn took on a straight spiral, and as the horn extended, large swaths of skeleton protruded along his skull, down his neck and down his shoulder blades, until they became two or three bone spurs that stood side by side upside down.

At this point, the battlemage was completely devoid of human form. With this change in him, the broken sword stuck in his chest was also squeezed out little by little by the muscles in his chest. And looking at his body, which was like steel casting, larger than the average Nord, Hiko couldn't help but muttered in his heart. He still hasn't seen why this change is happening.

You know, this is just a small battle mage, a member of the special forces mass-produced by the kingdom's military. If each had the ability to transform in this way, then the kingdom would have been able to unify the world a long time ago. So, this kind of thing is obviously the product of some abnormal situation, but what could it be? Hiko, who has always prided himself on being well-informed, was also a little uncertain.

And just when his mind was still racing, the battle mage in front of him suddenly widened his eyes, and his eyes, which had completely turned into linear pupils, began to evolve into a complex and crazy look. Sometimes sober as a human, sometimes tyrannical as a beast. Sometimes they are afraid and struggling, sometimes they are crazy and desperate. It's as if his whole being has split into two very different personalities. And as his eyes flickered, a muffled wail began to emanate from his throat, which had become the mouth of a monster.

"No, no. I don't want to... Don't be like this. Go back, give me back. I don't want anything... Arcane circuits. I don't want to be a monster, I don't want to ....."

Later, the muffled sound became weaker and weaker, and the corresponding was more and more animalistic howls. Obviously, this is a manifestation of the battle mage's self-will, which is constantly being worn out. Looking at his performance, Hiko suddenly remembered a record of taboos left in his mother's diary.

The art of human alchemy, a forbidden spell born out of the natural alchemy system. And its creator is said to be a genius being whose name has become taboo and has been deliberately worn out by the world and gods.

This genius figure is not only a great master of alchemy, but also a genius of the nature department. Especially in the Transfiguration series of druid spells, it has a unique attainment. He was the only caster of the Elder Red Dragon in the world at the time who could transform into the most powerful Elder Red Dragon with Transfiguration, and with that alone, he had the ability to destroy an entire large city by one person.

This kind of strength is enough to dominate an era, and it can be said that even a god who sits in the sky must pay attention to such a person, and it is necessary to regard him as an existence similar to his own status. Such an achievement can make even the humble arrogant. But this genius does not feel this way, on the contrary, he still has a considerable degree of dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction with his own achievements.

In his opinion, the Druid Transfiguration is a mutilated spell, as it is a void after the transformation. It's okay at the level of beasts, but once you enter the monster level of the supernatural realm, the druid transfiguration can only achieve superficial changes.

This superficial change allows the caster of Transfiguration to have only the physical power of a transforming monster, while the deeper magic power is not available at all. And, even so, there are very obvious limits to this change, and the fact that it can only change into a natural creature is the one that he is most dissatisfied with.

In his own case, transforming into an ancient red dragon sounds remarkable. But the primeval red dragon he changed into didn't have the slightest ability to cast spells except that he could only fight with his body. The only supernatural attack ability is actually the red dragon's breath move, which is a world of difference compared to the real red dragon.

Seriously, he really doesn't want this if he could. If given a choice, he would rather choose a steel dragon without any spellcasting ability, or a diamond dragon to change. The kind of dragon that relied entirely on the flesh was the real hand-to-hand combat king of the dragon clan, and compared to them, even the primeval red dragon was far behind.

But he didn't have a choice. Because these two dragons are simply beyond the realm of natural creatures, they are part of the metal dragons, and changing metal is obviously something that the druid's Transfiguration cannot do. The Red Dragon is already the pinnacle of Transfiguration, and being able to achieve the transformation of the Ancient Red Dragon is already a manifestation of his unique qualifications.

But he was not satisfied. A genius like him always has a paranoid type. Either you don't do it, or you have to do it to do your best.

Since you can't get involved in the ranks of metal dragons, you have to develop Transfiguration to the point where you can cast spells. With this in mind, he began to study in this area. And the more he studied, the more he realized that the potential of Transfiguration had been exhausted, and it was really difficult to go further. In contrast, it is another alchemy that he has studied by himself and has a lot of potential to be tapped.

Smart people naturally have smart ways. After a change of thinking, this genius really came to fruition. It's just that this result is not as wonderful as he imagined.
