The vibration of nothingness was brewing around the room, making the originally peaceful environment chaotic again.
The newborn iron ants that had just been nurtured by the little ant queen huddled in the small nest and shivered.
The walls and floor of the room seemed to have been raked with iron-tipped nails, leaving disorderly and messy traces.
And Hero sitting in the center is the source of all this.
At this moment, he became the source of radiation mentioned by his mentor.
The air around the body was distorted, and even the wisps of moonlight projected from the window could not penetrate the twisted force field and shine on Hero.
Everything the distortion force field brushed over left indelible scars on the surface.
"Goo-chi-coo-chi?!"
The changes in Holo's body made the cub huddled in the soul beast mark feel uneasy.
Because it feels that the host in front of it has become extremely strange.
The familiarity that originally came from the soul is constantly being covered up and changed.
The source of pollution represented by [Black Sea] and the characteristics represented by [Distortion], the two actually began to merge with the soul under the action of neurons.
The shadows representing the two cores in the soul continue to dim again.
Then the aura emanating from Holo's soul became increasingly weird.
The force field wrapped around him, and it was no longer possible to see clearly the person's appearance from the outside.
"With the arm drive, the range has also been expanded a lot. It can not only affect the surrounding area of the body, but can even be expanded by filling it with soul energy. The exact extent of the expansion needs to be tested. The room is too small.
But...this level should be able to handle [chaos], my mentor already warned me before I left."
Hero, who was completely inhuman, would erupt one or two soul spells around him from time to time.
This kind of behavior is beyond his control, and he cannot touch other objects in this state. He can only calm down and meditate, while activating the soul circuit, trying to consume soul energy over and over again, and strengthen his control over and over again.
As the meditation method is amplified by the soul circuit, the soul energy begins to stir.
The characteristics belonging to [Moon Tower] are brought into play.
The eternal moon outside the window seemed to be seduced, and a large silver glow circled the window sill like a ribbon, wrapping around Hero layer by layer.
The moonlight on his body was like a tide, ebbing and flowing, gradually forming a ball, wrapping all the distortion force fields inside.
As he continues to digest and compress...
…
12:45 [Byrne]: Brother! Are you recovering well? I'm resurrected!
13:15【Byrne】: Where are the people?
13:32【Byrne】: What a waste of words! What a waste of words! You are all barren, right?
…
14:15 [Instructor Guzman]: If rejection occurs after the transplant, come over as soon as possible for rescue. If there are no problems, rest for two days to advance the characteristics.
…
The quiet moonlight has not changed since ancient times. It has always been like this in the long history.
Including Holo, who is now immersed in her arms.
The only things that changed were the time on the brass pocket watch and the jumping message on the secret book.
"Huh~ I finally suppressed it."
With a sigh, the moonlight that had filled the whole room in the past few days began to dissipate, just like when they came, fading from the window like silk, returning to the full moon.
There were also weird sounds coming from the room.
The iron ant colony, led by the little queen, shook its tentacles and emerged from the nest.
There is a silver-gray light spot on their shiny carapace.
The transformation of the little queen ant is the most eye-catching among the iron ants. She has more than doubled in size, and the edge of the carapace is emitting red light. It is obvious that she has fully absorbed the essence of the queen ant, and her body has fully grown.
Like a red robe covered with moonlight, it looks extremely noble and elegant, and it is difficult to compare with the appearance of the original low-level iron ants.
Big Nose, who had been unconscious for several days in the corner, also woke up at this moment.
The body mutated by [The Nest] gave it complete vocal cords. It grunted like a little puppy and kicked its limbs from time to time. This was to get familiar with the unfamiliar body.
Even the heart of the tree hidden under the bed by Hero has grown some seedlings after being irrigated by the moonlight in the past few days.
Everything in the room came to life.
All the strange and weird manifestations around Holo disappeared.
"The neuron sample is completely integrated with the body, and some tentacles penetrate the void soul to complete the contact. There is no rejection. Now I... am very awake, and control is much easier than before."
As far as ordinary magician apprentices are concerned.
If it goes well, during the long-term meditation process, the characteristics will be further integrated with the soul, and that will be the time to highlight the system.
There are many magicians walking around the empire, but every powerful magician can tell which tower they come from through the aura they emit.
It is precisely because the system characteristics are fully integrated and brought into play.
It's just that it's very difficult for apprentices to reach this stage.
It is often the moment when you advance to the level of magician that your soul is purified and the fusion is completed at the same time, and the characteristics are upgraded.
People like Hero have embarked on an unusual path among apprentices.
It has both pollution sources and system characteristics, both of which consume soul energy and require the soul to bear greater pressure.
This requires more time than ordinary people.
Not to mention that during the apprenticeship stage, Hero also raised and cultivated a group of soul beasts.
…
The road to the [Lower Market] is not long.
In particular, there is a fast track to the apprentice level that can be accessed directly.
Byrne had already been waiting for the exit. As soon as he saw Hero's figure, he came up and put his arms around his shoulders.
"Brother, I didn't even reply to the messages I sent you?"
"Although I didn't acquire any resources this time, the significance of exercise is greater. I have been recuperating and adjusting my state these past few days, digesting some experience. Compared with the quality of souls accumulated with ordinary resources, I am satisfied with the current situation.
."
This experience allowed Hero to understand that when Mena and the group of apprentices went to the borderland to conduct such a dangerous incident assessment.
Only by experiencing dangerous events can you achieve breakthroughs.
Facing death is something that only those with extremely talented people will try.
They desire the most perfect growth path and develop the most complete soul art system and the purest soul power.
What a pity...those geniuses died too hastily.
"Me too, but I haven't gained as much as you. The quality of my soul has improved a lot. After two more tests or events, I should be ready for promotion."
Hero nodded. Geniuses from the main city should not be underestimated.
"Is everything else ready?"
Of course he only meant soul beasts and soul weapons when he asked.
When they advance to level magicians, the intensity they face is completely different.
Novice protection from the tower is automatically canceled.
There is a world of difference in strength between those who have these two types of magicians and those who don't.
"Hey, I don't need to worry about this. I told my dad about this harvest and he said he would help me prepare it."
"I really envy your big family..."
"No, I still envy you. At least you can find your own path. I can only inherit the continuation of the family."
