Chapter 83 Soul Transformation
Using the mage's hand, a vague shadow like an air snake emerged from Mu Hua's body.
Although it is not formless, the blurry shadow is like the air in a trance under the scorching heat. It will be ignored if you are not careful.
The vague 'air snake' with thick arms did not have the shape of a hand at the top, but Mu Hua was able to make it handle objects as flexibly as five fingers.
A short knife dropped by a little devil ten meters away was picked up by the mage's hand. The short knife was thrown in various trajectories by Mu Hua like a sword.
Mages don't practice martial arts, so only magicians who can't learn the magician's hand practice martial arts.
The mages play spear control, the mages who practice martial arts are all Luthers, and the mages who can't do close combat are so reserved. . .
The short knife was taken back by Mu Hua from a distance and floated in the air in front of Mu Hua.
Use the appraisal skill, metal dagger: sharp 30.
Just such a rusty dagger is actually equipment, which means that this short knife is mixed with magic metal.
However, Mu Hua's focus was not on the short sword.
An identification spell consumes about 1% of Mu Hua's magic power, but this 1% of magic power is enough for Mu Hua to stab the dagger with the hand of a mage for more than ten minutes. This is based on Mu Hua's current magic power. Calculate the value.
"Mage's hand?" Tebitha was slightly surprised. She was more or less used to Mu Hua's 'eruditeness'.
The bone shield and inherent magic were both created by Mu Hua. They were just mage hands that most demon hunter-level mages couldn't learn. Tebitha was somewhat numb.
"Cha" the little devil screamed strangely.
"Pfft" After the sound of the blunt knife cutting leather, Mu Hua stabbed the short knife into the heart of a little devil. The little devil twitched twice in the hands of the skeleton guard and then stopped moving.
The mage's hand is controlled by consciousness, and the speed depends on the frequency of thought. Within the extended range, it is like controlling one's own arm.
The warrior's eyes and hands are steady and ruthless, while the mage's eyes and hands reach far and fast.
Using the mage's hands to do things does not feel strenuous or nerve-wracking. It feels like a tactile and controllable mechanical arm.
When grabbing and lifting heavy objects, you only feel whether it can be lifted, but if you can't lift it, you can't lift it, and it's useless to hold back the energy on your face to suck milk.
So the mage is all kinds of elegant (pretentious). . .
Sensitive, yet numb, a very strange feeling. While trying, Mu Hua lifted up the little devil in the hands of another skeleton guard.
The mage's hand pinched the little devil's neck, allowing the little devil, which weighed less than a hundred kilograms, to struggle and tear in mid-air.
Mu Hua could even feel the pulse and the force of the struggle on the little devil's neck.
The little devil's tearing at the neck area would make Mu Hua feel that the mage's hand would be snatched away by it at any time.
But the little devil's claws sliced through the extended part of the 'air snake' as if they sliced through the air.
Mu Hua nodded secretly. It was also his first time to experience the hand of the mage. From this point of view, the hand of the mage was not an arm made of magic power.
Although it has a vague extended shape, only the 'hand' part is an energy structure produced by the combination of magic power and the caster's consciousness.
It is a very convenient and practical ability. It can pull and drag, killing people and setting fires without delay. However, this thing cannot pull the caster's body, nor can it be used as a medium for performing combat skills.
He can't cast spells, he can only slash with a knife, he can control a sword, but he can't fly with it, and he can't expect to use it to induce blood in this life.
"What are you going to do to catch these little devils?" Tabitha looked at the little devils who were lifted up by Mu Hua with some envy, or she was envious of the hands of the mage who was holding the little devils.
Warriors may not be able to defeat mages, but they usually envy mages for their strange abilities.
Mage's Hand is a universal magic, and learning it does not even require magical adaptability.
Tebitha also tried to gain enlightenment before, but unfortunately she couldn't learn it after consuming more than ten volumes of magic books. In the end, she could only give up this interesting magic temporarily.
"Do you like it? I'll teach you later." Throwing the little devil held in the mage's hand to the skeleton guard, Mu Hua turned around and said to Tebitha with a smile.
"No need for the time being, I don't plan to be distracted by it." Feeling that Mu Hua was showing off, Tabitha shook her head, rolled her eyes at Mu Hua, and asked Mu Hua again why he was catching the little devil.
The battle was over long ago. In addition to the killed little devils, the skeleton guards also captured four or five alive ones.
"I fainted the day before yesterday. Didn't I tell you? I'm studying magic. These should be the main bodies. I need to do some experiments with them." Mu Hua specifically emphasized when the skeleton guard raised a little devil in front of him.
Tabitha chuckled, her smile was quite strange, she stopped asking Mu Hua, and went to look at the dropped items that had been recovered.
Mu Hua didn't lie this time, but his repeated emphasis on fainting made Tabitha find it interesting.
The soul transformation was all caused by that skill stone.
Now Mu Hua has a lot of strange knowledge in his head. This knowledge covers a wide range of aspects, but seems to be extremely incomplete.
Because the ultimate direction of this knowledge seems to be the creation of souls.
Yes, it's a soul, not a ghost.
But Mu Hua didn't understand. What was the point of spending so much effort and consuming so many resources to build that thing? Wouldn't it be better to just catch a human and extract his soul?
The only application that Mu Hua can think of in this regard is the derivation of magical life and undead.
However, undead derivation is a complete high-level magic, and soul transformation does not contain any knowledge related to magical life.
Well, leaving aside the creation of souls, there are still many valuable things in soul transformation.
For example, Mu Hua is very sensitive to souls now. As long as the strength of the soul is not as high as his, he can feel whether the monster is a projection or the original body.
If a normal soul gives him a healthy sense of luster, then the soul of the projection monster is like a defective product that is full of cracks and can break at any time.
For soul transformation, those projected souls have no room for maneuver.
As for the monsters themselves, Mu Hua seems to be able to interfere with their evolution and growth to a great extent.
Although Mu Hua has mastered some secret techniques in soul transformation involving the soul that is the foundation of life, Mu Hua did not dare to try it on his own family members without actual practice.
Asking the skeleton guard to pin a little devil to the ground, Mu Hua reached out and touched the little devil's body.
The next moment, the real palm, the real little devil, but Mu Hua's palm penetrated the little devil's body as if it were thrust into water.
There was nothing in the little devil's drop that could make Tabitha care. When she turned around and saw Mu Hua's situation, Tabitha let out a sigh.
"Soul surgery is a technique that targets the origin of the bloodline of monsters. This is a strange ability that I learned from a magic book in my early years. It wasn't until a few days ago that I seemed to have truly integrated it." Tebitha came closer, Mu Hua habitually adds personality to himself.
The little devil was struggling and twisting, but Mu Hua's hand penetrated its body, but neither of them felt any discomfort. The scene was very strange.
"You... what can you do with this?" Tebitha was curious, but the pressed little devil was still struggling.
"Should it help monsters choose their evolutionary direction?" Mu Hua said in an uncertain tone.
"For example, this little devil has werewolf blood, horror blood, and Bam demon blood in its roots. Gee, it's so complicated. It actually also has the blood of spider demons and Medusa."
Mu Hua frowned and stared at the little devil's body, as if he was observing something. Monday and Tuesday also approached Mu Hua at this time.
"Then what?" Tebitha asked in surprise.
"Well, bloodline evolution cannot be forcibly activated." Mu Hua frowned deeper, with an inquiring expression like a crazy scholar.
"If it is willing to cooperate, I can guide it to evolve towards the bloodline it wants."
"It's just..." Mu Hua rubbed his chin in thought.
"Well, if you start its evolution and don't have enough resources, evolving the spider demon or Medusa will almost certainly fail."
"The werewolf and terror bloodlines have a certain chance of success. If it happens to activate the evolution of the Bam Demon, it will most likely activate the werewolf bloodline or the nerubian bloodline. Even if the evolution is successful, it will eventually turn into a monster."
A hint of surprise gradually appeared on Mu Hua's face.
"Can the owner interfere with its evolution?" Monday barked.
"It can if it cooperates."
"Look at me, what other bloodlines do I have?" Monday said with great interest.
Demons are quite chaotic in some aspects, especially when they are faced with the blows of the Asmodean monsoon from time to time.
The Asmodean monsoon not only causes some indescribable restlessness in demons, but also erases the reproductive isolation between demons and other species.
That kind of period is the reproduction and carnival time of the demons.
This also causes the bloodlines in the roots of most demons to be quite complicated, but they can usually only perceive the bloodline of their previous generation, that is, the dominant race of their 'parents'.
When a demon starts to evolve, it is also possible to activate the simultaneous evolution of other bloodlines. Failure means death, and incompatibility will turn into a deformed monster. This also makes the evolution of the demon full of uncertainty.
"Wait a minute, let me take a look." The palm was pulled out of the little devil's body.
Mu Hua confirmed that the little devil was still alive and had not suffered any ill effects. Instead of attacking Monday directly, he started observing another little devil.
