Chapter 154 Magical Transformation
In the laboratory,
An Orc, his face filled with terror, was bound in place by a petrification spell, watching Dui approach him.
Dui covered his nose in disgust.
These orks were like uncivilized wild beasts, filthy and smelly.
He quickly cast several cleansing spells to remove the odor from Oak's body before daring to approach.
He then raised his wand, aimed it at Oak, and cast a Transfiguration spell.
Oak's body expanded and deformed uncontrollably, transforming into a small, giant dragon resembling Smaug.
Although it was a small dragon, it was still tens of meters long, many times larger than the Dui in front of it.
Oak, now a giant dragon, regained his mobility. At first, he was somewhat panicked, but looking at the tiny Dui in front of him, a surge of malice rose in his heart, and he bit at Dui.
"Heart-piercing curse!" Dui raised his hand expressionlessly and unleashed a Heart-piercing curse.
As Oak transformed into a giant dragon, he collapsed to the ground in agony, letting out a painful roar.
Dui had no interest in tormenting the dragon. After giving it a lesson, he turned it back into an orc with some disappointment.
Although he knew that the Transfiguration spell could not truly transform one creature into another, the result before him still disappointed him somewhat. Although Oak had transformed into the appearance of a dragon, this dragon was merely a shell of a dragon, lacking both the ability to breathe fire and the strength of a dragon. In essence, he was still just an Oak with the appearance of a dragon.
However, Dui was already mentally prepared, so he wasn't too disappointed.
After all, if he could use shapeshifting to turn an Orc into a real dragon, he would probably be close to becoming a god.
He then cast the Transfiguration spell on Oak once again.
This time, however, when he used it, he not only wanted to deform the shape of Orc, but also tried to forcibly break the magic cycle in Orc's body and transform it into Beon's magic cycle.
However, as soon as he broke the magic cycle within Oak's body, the magic became chaotic and disordered, extremely violent.
The next second, Oak was instantly torn to pieces by the violent magic within him, his flesh and blood splattering everywhere.
Dui managed to cast the Iron Armor Spell in time, thus avoiding having his face splattered with Orc's flesh and blood.
Seeing that the first test subject was gone, Dui frowned and waved his hand to clean up the sticky substance on the ground.
Then they went to the cell where the Oaks were being held and brought over two Oaks.
After tossing one of the petrified creatures aside, Dui cast a transformation spell on Orc again.
This time, however, he did not rashly break the magic cycle within Oak's body.
Instead, they selected a small loop system and tried to turn it into a part of Beon's loop.
This time, the magic power within Oak's body did not become disordered, and the distorted magic power cycle was replaced by Beon's magic power cycle.
Dui was delighted and continued to gradually alter the magical circuits within Oak's body.
This is a very delicate physical task. Dui not only has to be fully focused and not be distracted in the slightest, but also has to maintain a constant input of magic to prevent the balance of magic in Orc's body from being broken.
Otherwise, he would probably end up like the previous Oc, exploding and dying.
As time passed, sweat began to bead on Dui's forehead.
But in that brief moment of distraction, the magical energy circulation within Oak's body suddenly became unbalanced.
The magic cycle belonging to Orc himself, which coexists with Beon's magic cycle, has become conflicted.
Dui instinctively sensed something was wrong and immediately cast a shield in front of him.
Oak became extremely painful, his body twisting and deforming, and he was in excruciating agony.
However, to Dui's surprise, Oak did not explode; instead, it deformed, arching its body and twisting its limbs as it lay prone on the ground.
It grew sharp claws, and on its ugly face, its mouth protruded outwards, growing teeth.
It eventually transformed into a deformed, extremely ugly monster, a half-orc, half-bear.
If the Orcs were still humanoid creatures before, the Orcs now can truly be called orcs.
Dui tried to cast a transformation and restoration spell, but it had no effect; Orc had completely transformed into his current form.
Even the magic circulation within his body has become a hybrid mutation of the skin-changing human and the Oc magic circulation.
Dui shook his head, waved his wand, and froze Oak, who had lost his mind and was roaring at him like a wild beast.
With another wave, it was sent to the giant spider breeding room to be given to the newly hatched giant spiders as food.
Then, looking at another Oak whose eyes were filled with terror and despair, he waved his hand to summon him over and continued with the next round of experiments.
In the days that followed, he spent most of his time in the laboratory.
Under the Transformation Charm, all sorts of bizarre Orcs appeared, some covered in bear fur, some with bear heads and Orc bodies, some half-bear and half-Orc, some with bear-like limbs, and some even with bear bodies and Orc skin, and so on.
Without exception, all of these failed attempts were given to the giant spider as food.
Until this day, Dui selected Orc leader Salzog as his test subject.
Salzog looked at the wizard in front of him with fear and dread. He knew that all the Orks who had been taken away had been taken away for experiments, and without exception, none of them had reappeared.
Their fate is self-evident.
He wanted to beg for mercy, and was even willing to become a slave, but the other party did not give him the chance, and directly immobilized him, making him unable to make a sound.
In his eyes, this wizard was even more terrifying than his former master, the Dark Lord.
If he could undo his mistakes, he would have loved to leave Gram Mountain as soon as possible and hide away somewhere far away.
Regardless of what Salzog thought, after these days of experimentation and having consumed over fifty Oc, Dui had gained a certain level of mastery over magical transformation.
Therefore, he is confident in this experiment.
He then skillfully cast the Transfiguration spell again, his eyes focused and concentrated.
He patiently altered the magical circulation within Salzorg's body, little by little.
Even though his face was covered in sweat and he was extremely exhausted, he still dared not relax for a moment.
Only after Beon's magic cycle completely replaced the magic cycle within Orc's body did Dui finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The Orc leader, Salzog, looked pained as his body rapidly swelled and twisted, transforming into a hideous, ferocious giant bear in Dui's expectant gaze.
The giant bear was smaller than Beorn, but it was still as big as a small mountain, and could easily kill an Orc with a single stomp.
The giant bear exuded a dark aura, just like a demonic bear!
Dui smiled; he felt a magic emanating from the giant bear.
Although it leans towards darkness rather than Beon's natural attributes, it no longer belongs to the ordinary bear category.
"Tear it apart!" Dui shot a spell at the giant bear.
The bear, gripped by pain and driven by its wild instincts, roared at the attacker.
The spell that was supposed to kill Orc had only left a wound on the giant bear, and the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Heartbreaker!" Seeing the giant bear charging towards him, Dui immediately cast a Heartbreaker spell.
After rendering the giant bear painfully unable to resist, use the Soul Reaper's Curse to control it.
"Now, try to revert to your original form," Dui commanded the giant bear.
The giant bear's eyes were vacant, and it instinctively obeyed Dui's commands, trying its best to transform back into its original form.
The giant bear's body shrank continuously, its bones reorganized, and it eventually reverted to the shape of an Orc.
Thus, the first Oc race in the world, the "Skin Changer," appeared.
In the days that followed, Dui devoted himself entirely to studying this perfect experimental subject, researching the changes in the magic cycle when it switched forms, and the switching points that controlled these changes.
When the research was complete and no further information could be gleaned from Salzorg, Dui simply used a spell to send him to his death, then threw him to the giant spider to eat.
Having mastered the secrets of Beon's transformation, Dui did not immediately begin experimenting on himself.
After all, what he wanted was for Animagus to level up, not for him to become a giant bear like Beorn.
Next, he began to study the magic circulation systems of the dragon Smaug, the basilisk Herpo, and the eagle Saurondo, examining the differences between them.
He attempted to transform the magic within an Orc into a magical cycle that transforms into that of a dragon.
However, the magic power within Oak's body was clearly insufficient to support the dragon's form. Before the magic transformation was complete, Oak's magic power was completely drained, and even his life force was sucked away, instantly turning him into a skeleton.
He then tried to transform individual Orcs into basilisks and giant eagles using magical transformation.
Suddenly, Orks covered in snake scales appeared, along with snake-headed humans, Ork-headed snake-bodied creatures, and Orks with eagle heads and human bodies, and winged Orks.
Oc-headed, eagle-bodied, and other bizarre creatures.
Moreover, the magic power within Orc's body was simply insufficient to support his transformation into the complete forms of the basilisk and giant eagle.
However, Dui also discovered that whether it was a dragon, a basilisk, or a giant eagle, their magic circulation methods were basically the same, with the only difference being in the subtle details.
Seeing this, Dui even went to the Ogre Forest to capture a few ogres and to the Misty Mountains to capture a few dire wolves in order to increase the sample size.
He summarized the magic cycle systems of all the samples and began to try to create new magic cycle methods himself.
In the days that followed, the number of Orks decreased dramatically; some died from their bodies exploding, while others transformed into various monsters.
Just as Dui was starting to think about whether he should go and catch some more Orcs, he realized that Orcs were running out.
Whether it was sheer luck or not, while performing a new magical transformation on an Orc, he had a sudden inspiration and incorporated the rune symbol representing fire into it, and the Orc transformed into a giant firebird!
The firebird is about half the size of an adult giant eagle, with reddish-black feathers all over its body, and it can breathe fire!
Dui stared at the firebird in front of him with surprise and wide eyes.
This was an unexpected change resulting from his fusion of the magic circulation systems of dragons and eagles, plus a fire rune.
Although the firebird before him was far from the phoenix he remembered, it had already exceeded his original expectations.
He quickly recorded the magical circulation system within the firebird's body.
His future Animagus advancement will depend on it!
