Future Directions for Optimizing Flesh Conversion (Please Follow)

Next, he repeated the previous process and completed the Horned Rabbit's modification. Like the Demonic Wolf, the Horned Rabbit's modification still used its own Bloodline Factor, a wind-element Bloodline Factor, and a cushion.

The former would make the Horned Rabbit stronger, while the latter came from the Demonic Wolf and gave it a certain chance of awakening wind-element spells. Even if it was unlucky and failed to awaken them, future Magic Crest Inscription modifications would go more smoothly.

Magic Crest Inscription had originally come from wizards engraving the spell patterns of magical creatures onto objects to make spellcasting more convenient. Over time, it had developed into engraving magic-crest-based spells onto the body, allowing one to directly gain the ability to cast the corresponding spells.

After so many years of development, Magic Crest Inscription technology had become increasingly mature. The spells inscribed could also grow, so there was now a niche school of wizards who engraved magic crests onto themselves, allowing them to instantly cast more spells and giving them relatively stronger combat power.

However, such wizards were few. Most still inscribed them onto the magical creatures they raised, making it one of the major branches of biological modification.

In truth, Magic Crest Inscription accounted for half of biological modification wizardry. Most biological modifications ultimately had to return to this path.

But there was no helping it. Bloodline Factors had lofty concepts and enormous potential.

Thus, naturally, more wizards researched Bloodline Factors. And with more wizards came more related literature.

Although Magic Crest Inscription had also seen considerable development, most of it had been purely technical. Among wizard communities made up largely of research scholars, its voice was naturally somewhat weaker.

Faced with this situation, Isaac naturally would not choose to study only one. An adult's greed made him choose to have it all!

After all, he had a cheat~

Thus, in the Horned Rabbit's modification plan, Isaac had prudently added a wind-element Bloodline Factor. Even if its awakening failed, wouldn't it make future inscription easier?

Once the Horned Rabbit had been dealt with, Hamon tirelessly carried the enormous Demonic Wild Boar onto the operating table.

The Demonic Wild Boar's modification differed somewhat from the previous two Tier 1 magical creatures. Although it still used three Bloodline Factors, apart from the third, the other two were both earth-element Bloodline Factors. None belonged to the Demonic Wild Boar itself.

After all, it was merely an unranked magical creature. How powerful could its Bloodline Factor be?

Besides the Bloodline Factors, Isaac also replaced the Demonic Wild Boar's heart with the heart of a Tier 1 magical creature, a Rockskin Boar.

After everything was completed, Isaac did not have Hamon carry the boar back. Instead, he took a step back and carefully observed its condition.

As the newly replaced heart gradually fused with it under the influence of the spell, abundant earthen-yellow magic power surged from the heart and quickly filled the boar's entire body. Once such a "massive" quantity of magic power entered the boar's body, it began drastically transforming the boar's physique.

During this process, Isaac was surprised to discover that the fusion of the Bloodline Factors had actually begun accelerating under the influence of that magic power!

Though it was relatively slow, it was undeniably speeding up...

Looking at the boar on the operating table, Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not expected an unexpected gain~

But exactly which part had produced this effect would require further observation.

This situation had not been mentioned in his elder sister's collection of books. Perhaps it had never been discovered, or perhaps she simply did not have the relevant Magic Books.

However, Isaac leaned toward the former. Techniques like heart replacement and blood replacement had been obsolete for a long time. At present, only a small number of poor Legendary Wizards still used them.

For example, Isaac~

So it was perfectly normal that those esteemed Arcanists had failed to discover this.

Still, Isaac did not linger on it too much. Although it was interesting, with a formidable enemy before him, he knew what mattered more. It was enough to write it down in his notebook and study it later.

As for now, there was something more important to do~

After collecting the data, Hamon carried the enormous Demonic Wild Boar into an iron cage and locked it up. Then, one man and one claw headed to another testing ground. Five iron cages stood in the middle of the area, containing the Demonic Wolf, Horned Rabbit, Wilderness Spirit Deer, Demonic Wild Boar, and Heart-Replaced Demonic Rat respectively.

The five magical creatures had not fallen unconscious as they had during the surgeries. Not only were they awake, they were also full of energy and in excellent condition!

For instance, the most ferocious among them, the Demonic Wolf, was baring its fangs at Isaac.

"Hiss!!"

Hamon abruptly flew before the Demonic Wolf's cage. Its palm split open, revealing two hundred neat, gleaming saw teeth!

Who didn't know how to bare their fangs!

Isaac helplessly patted Hamon and called it back. This experiment was not about competing to see who could bare their fangs better.

Hamon closed the crack in its palm and flew back behind Isaac's head. It pointed straight toward the sky, its five fingers spread wide. A stream of magic power flowed from Isaac into Hamon's body, after which it channeled all of that amplified magic power into the magical creatures within the five iron cages.

Talent Wizardry Conversion!

That was right. What Isaac intended to test this time was an idea he had long held regarding his own Talent Wizardry.

Since Flesh Conversion transformed Demonic Flesh into living organisms under his command for battle, it was clearly a summoning spell.

However, in Isaac's view, this wizardry had another direction worth developing—using it on living beings!

If this wizardry could work on living magical creatures, or rather, creatures possessing magic power, then its combat value would rise even further!

Unfortunately, he had conducted several experiments before this, and all had ended in failure.

This was now Isaac's seventh attempt, as well as the seventh version of Talent Wizardry Conversion.

Unfortunately, three minutes passed, and none of the five magical creatures changed in any way. It had failed...

Isaac furrowed his brow. Failure was not frightening; experiments failed all the time.

But failure without any gains at all was terrifying...

Could this path really be impossible?

Isaac shook his head with a slight frown. Not necessarily. Some conditions probably had yet to be met, and further research was still needed...

Fortunately, although this experiment had once again yielded nothing, this week's studies had helped Isaac find a direction for improvement: starting from the Bloodline Factors!

From that angle, Isaac had quite a few ideas. Genetic mutation had not been uncommon in his previous life. Though he had never properly studied the relevant subjects, he understood a little, and copying the form of a tiger from a cat was not too difficult.

And as long as the tiger he drew produced results, everything would be easy. After all, the beginning was always the hardest part~

After ending the spell, Hamon was responsible for tidying up the laboratory, while Isaac went to prepare Hamon's enhancement ritual. The items he had purchased from the Truth Association had finally arrived.

In fact, they had arrived three days earlier, but Isaac had been immersed in studying Bloodline Factors at the time, so he had put it off.
