"It's a pity, did it only last for three days at most?"

In the basement of the old castle, Ronan looked at an iron cage placed in the research workshop, and inside it was a huge muscular rat more than a meter long and fell to the ground without responding after letting out a scream.

Ronan recorded all of the rat's reactions after being engraved with the mana track, shook his head, and cleaned it up.

At this time, half a month had passed since the day he explored the trajectory of the vampire's flesh and blood.

During this period of continuous copying and learning, Ronan has been able to reproduce those two trajectories almost perfectly.

But the results were not ideal.

Ronan named these two trajectories [Flesh Enhancement] and [Bloodline Inspiration] respectively

The former is able to strengthen the flesh of living beings and greatly expand their size, gaining extraordinary self-healing abilities.

After injecting 10 points of magic power, the size of a ten-centimeter-long mouse instantly swelled to more than a meter long, and its whole body was covered with strong muscles.

It looked extremely powerful, but Ronan found an ordinary mouse with a body length of ten centimeters and used [Mount Enhancement] with 1 magic power on it.

The size of the rat hadn't changed much, only its muscles bulged slightly, but it easily tore apart the giant rat that had pounced on it.

The enhancement efficiency of the two is not at the same level at all.

Not only that, but there is also serious uncontrollability with the use of [Flesh Enhancement].

Many times the rat not only swelled in size, but also protruded from the surface of the body with fist-sized bumps, from which various excess body structures grew.

Three heads and six legs are normal, but what is even more terrifying is that the abdomen has a heart, the head is covered with gonads, and the back is full of dense eyes, etc.

Rats with physical deformities like this tend to die within minutes.

Rats with normal structures tend to live longer, with the longest being the one who just died, living for a total of three days.

Despite all its drawbacks, it also has its merits.

Compared to Ronan's [Mount Enhancement], which only takes effect for one hour, the continuous effect of this enhancement is permanent.

It's just that survival is not guaranteed yet.

Not only that, but after several attempts to control the enhancement effect, Ronan found that this effect could be used on a certain part of the body alone.

For example, only the head is strengthened, only the tail is strengthened, etc., unlike the system's [Mount Enhancement] can only choose the whole.

And the mana consumed is also controlled by himself, and it is not fixed.

The biggest problem now is that Ronan can't guarantee the stability of the enhancement, basically using one to die, and the effect of the enhancement is not satisfactory.

He tried to strengthen his legs and increase his running speed, but a head grew out of his thighs and he started yelling at him. It can be seen that Ronan's head is big.

"There is no more sample reference, and the mana trajectory cannot be changed."

He had a headache, and in order to change this uncontrollability, he tried to adjust the trajectory of his mana.

But as long as there is a slight change in the arc, the trajectory loses its effect in an instant, and a blind attempt is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack.

And the ability given by the system does not have a magic track, it is more like some kind of rule endowment, Ronan consumes magic power, and the effect is produced.

Unlike [Flesh Enhancement], which also requires him to build a trajectory, the former has no process during this period.

Of course, it may also be that the level is too high for me to see now, in short, there is no point in exploring his trajectory.

"The effect of this trajectory is chaotic, and I, as a spellcaster, have no way to control the effect, so what about the caster who suffers the effect?" Ronan thinks of a solution, and thinks of a new attempt.

He grabbed a new mouse and pointed his finger at its forehead.

【Spiritual Projection】

It took a tenth of his magic power to mark the mouse and manipulate it.

He then began to trace the mana trajectory to the mouse's forelimbs, injecting it little by little at a slow speed to ensure stability.

At the same time, Ronan manipulates the spiritual projection of the mouse to focus on the forelimbs, constantly sending out a signal.

'I needed a pair of stronger forelimbs, sharper claws, and a normal structure. ’

The small forelimbs, which were originally light gray, gradually bulged, the color metamorphosed into deep black, and the nails became long and sharp.

But in the process, Ronan suddenly felt a wave of extreme chaos, irritable and bloodthirsty thoughts rushing towards him, longing for blood, thirsting for killing!

This thought was wrapped around the spiritual projection he projected onto the mouse.

Ronan didn't stop, and continued to move in his hand until he injected 5 points of mana, and the rat's forelimbs were as thick as the kangaroo's arms that had shrunk compared to the same size, and the claws were like two long sickles.

Continuing further, Ronan had a hunch that his spiritual projection would explode.

I see, he roughly understood the situation, and the chaotic thoughts that suddenly appeared were probably the cause of the deformity and death of the rat.

It seems that one's own spiritual projection can replace living beings and resist this side effect.

So now the question is, will this side effect subside?

You must know that Ronan's spiritual projection is limited in number, and it is impossible to maintain it on a certain creature all the time.

If the side effects of this chaotic mind persist, wait until he cancels the projection and is no longer in control, and the flesh-reinforced creature will still die.

"I wish you the best of luck." Ronan touched the mouse's forehead and placed it in the cage.

Whether the chaotic thoughts will disappear can only be seen by time.

Ronan chose five more mice, successfully labeled them, controlled them with spiritual projection, and then selected different parts to strengthen them, and sure enough, they all succeeded in maintaining their normal structure and did not have deformities.

Keeping them in the same cage for observation, he began to study another trajectory.

【Bloodline Inspiration】

Unlike [Flesh Enhancement], which can be used on other animals, Ronan finds that this magic trail cannot be used externally.

The object of this trajectory can only be oneself.

Previously, as an attempt, Ronan spent half of his magic power to carve a trajectory on himself.

At that moment, there was an incomprehensible noise in his ears, and the messy picture in front of him flashed away.

It's like an old antique TV in the previous life, which was distorted by snowflakes due to signal failure.

Because Ronan spent too little mana, this situation quickly disappeared, and he didn't understand what it was like at the time.

It wasn't until he slowly tried to increase his magic that he heard a familiar cry mixed with the distorted images and sounds.

"Alice, sit down."

It was Ronan's mother, Lady Oronna, educating her sister Alice at the dinner table.

It was only then that Ronan learned the initial role of this magical trajectory.

It allows people to receive what they see and hear from people of the same bloodline.
