"That should about do it. Next comes injecting it into my body... but I'd better check it first."
Inside the Pet Pouch's space, Karn used laboratory equipment to extract the Unicorn's genes, then made them into a genetic injection. He had the complete record of Les's last experiment, so he could repeat the process exactly.
Only killing a Unicorn would fill its blood with a powerful curse. Many wizards speculated that this had to do with its soul, that the creature's soul and magic possessed a cursing property. Karn had not harmed the Unicorn, and he had checked with magic as well. There seemed to be no curse left in its flesh or blood.
Only after running several simulations did Karn inject the Unicorn gene serum into his body.
It still hurt, but Karn could now endure that pain. Unicorn genes were almost completely different from human genes. As soon as they entered Karn's body, they disrupted its stability, which would then trigger the collapse of his genetic chains.
But the Extremis Virus immediately went to work, activating the bioelectricity throughout Karn's body and rewriting his genetic chains, fully merging and optimizing the Unicorn genes with his own so that they quickly stabilized.
After a while, the Unicorn genes finally finished integrating. Karn was soaked in sweat from head to toe. He barely managed to sit up on the laboratory bed and felt rather weak.
But that feeling lasted less than a dozen seconds before his powerful recovery restored his strength.
Scourgify!
Karn merely thought it, and he felt all the sweat and grime on his body vanish. This was much faster than bathing.
The Fire Dragon beside him sensed that its master had become even more attractive and could not help bringing its enormous head closer, wanting to nuzzle
