Chapter 253: Stone
Heath felt that saving Nina was the right decision.
Although she was only left with a spirit body, she was still a powerful soul at the Wizard level. Nina still had a small amount of magic. More importantly, the knowledge that she had learned during her time as a Wizard was indelible.
With this knowledge, Nina could be of great help to Heath in the experiment, and the progress of the experiment was greatly accelerated.
A few days later.
“Success!”
With Nina’s cheer, the last rune on the last stone was successfully completed. At this point, the preparatory work for the alchemy puppet was basically completed.
At this moment, in the center of the spacious laboratory, there were more than twenty huge stones piled up, each of which was densely covered with runes and engravings. These were all the things that Heath would use to make alchemy puppets.
Nina stood by the side and said excitedly, “Heath, hurry up and connect them together. I can’t wait to see your results.”
Alchemy puppets were not complicated magic to begin with. After the initial work was completed, as long as they were connected together, they could be awakened and become their own servants.
However, Heath did not act immediately. Instead, he stood in front of the stone and seemed to hesitate.
Seeing this, Nina could not help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Heath pondered and said, “I’m thinking, what should I use as its magic core?”
Nina was stunned.
She said matter-of-factly, “Use Magic Stones? What else can you use?”
The Wizard World abided by the conservation of energy. To make the alchemy puppet move, it naturally needed a source of power, which was the source of magic power.
And this source of magic power was basically Magic Stones, which was also one of the greatest values of the existence of Magic Stones.
However, in the face of such an obviously normal answer, Heath still seemed to be hesitating.
Suddenly, Nina seemed to have thought of something.
She asked in surprise, “Do you want to…”
The more they got along, the more Heath felt that the Witch Nina really hit it off with him. It was as if she had practiced mind reading to a very high level and could see through his thoughts every time.
He nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll think about whether to give it a bit of soul.”
After successfully using the Soul Splitting Potion to cut off a part of his soul to revive the Dark Wizard’s corpse, Heath fell in love with the wonderful feeling of cutting off a part of his soul. After that, he even did many experiments on the soul.
Heath was thinking that if he used the Magic Stone as the energy core, not only would he need to consume Magic Stones every time he used it, the growth of this thing was also very limited.
If he used the soul splitting method to transfer a part of his soul over, then the growth rate of his soul would be immeasurable.
Once the soul was transferred over, he could use the materials and meditation to improve himself like a normal Wizard. As long as there were sufficient resources, the growth rate of extending all the way to the end would be extremely high.
Take the body of the Dark Wizard for example.
When he left the Bloody Battlefield, Heath purposely left the body in the Bloody Battlefield to use the resources provided by the Bloody Fortress to improve. After this period of hard work, his soul force had increased to 8 points.
One had to know that when he first took over the body, his soul force was only 6 points.
Nina looked a little hesitant and asked hesitantly, “Are you sure?”
“My teacher emphasized that the structure of the soul is very complicated and precious. We usually have to think of ways to carefully protect it, but you hurt it again and again… I still don’t think it’s a good idea.”
The last time Heath wanted to perform soul cutting, she had strongly opposed it.
After a pause, she continued, “Moreover, you’ve already done it once before. If you don’t advance to an intermediate Wizard and do it again, you should know what the consequences will be, right?”
Soul cutting did not mean that just cutting a part of the soul would be enough to repair what was lost. What was truly cut was the source of the soul. This was not something that could be repaired by meditation and cultivation alone.
Every Wizard’s source of the soul was limited. It would only be produced when there was a qualitative change in the soul level such as advancement, Soul mutation, and soul sublimation.
Heath’s soul source had already been cut by him and taken to revive the Dark Wizard’s corpse. Now, the source of the soul needed to maintain his own soul power. If he continued to cut here, he would be crazy. It was very likely that his soul would directly collapse and die.
Heath explained, “I didn’t say now.”
He pointed at the big rock that was used as the core. “I think that only a spiritual imprint and a part of the soul’s power are left, and it will naturally be nurtured in the core. When I advance to an intermediate Wizard, I’ll cut off a part of the soul’s origin to revive it.”
Nina was still hesitant. “I think… You should reconsider…”
Her soul was bound to Heath through a contract. If Heath’s soul had any problems or even died, she would vanish into thin air. Of course, she was afraid.
Heath smiled. “Don’t worry, I won’t joke about my soul. I won’t act rashly without full confidence.”
Seeing that, Nina didn’t say anything else. After being together for so many days, she also knew that once Heath decided on something, he wouldn’t easily change it.
She said, “Alright, alright. Then you must remember to be careful.”
The matter was settled then.
Following that, Heath first left a spiritual imprint on the stone golem’s core, and then sent a portion of his soul power into the core to nourish it so that it could be implanted into the soul’s origin in the future.
As Heath’s soul power entered the core, the stones on the ground came to life as if they were machines that were electrified. One by one, the large stones began to assemble according to the runes on them.
The body, hands, feet, knees, thighs, joints, and head.
The stones were pieced together step by step to form the parts mentioned above. Before long, a stone golem took shape in the room.
It was about five meters tall, and the whole thing was made of stone blocks.
Due to the characteristics of the soul flame and the fact that Heath had deliberately mixed some fire element runes when he drew the runes in the early stage… The moment the stone golem came back to life, faint blue soul flames kept coming out from the cracks of the stone, firmly wrapping the entire huge stone body.
It was as if the stone golem had merged into a ball of flames, looking extremely awe-inspiring.
“What a handsome big guy!”
Looking at the tall and big stone golem in front of her, Nina said excitedly, “Heath, give it a name? What should we call it?”
Heath had an answer to this a long time ago.
He looked at the huge flaming stone golem in front of him with satisfaction, and decisively gave it a name.
“Hellfire.”
“Its name is Hellfire!”
