Chapter 35: Unlocking the Secret Scriptures of the Old Days

"To leave behind such a spell model, what realm did the person who wrote the Old Secret Scripture reach?"

He gently stroked the cover of the Old Secret Scripture hanging around his waist with his fingertips. For some reason, after a period of discomfort at first, he began to like the unique touch of the cover.

By the way, since he has broken through to the first level, he should be able to unlock some new content.

After a slight pause, Avis simply sat cross-legged on the ground. He took the "Old Secret Scripture" from his waist, held it in his hands, and extended a trace of mental power to connect with it.

The familiar changes occurred again, but Avis did not pay attention to the surrounding environment. He could feel that a part of the real content was opened to him!

Behind the strange title page, about half the thickness of the book was still firmly "stuck together". Judging from its thickness, it seemed to be the main text of the poem before it was unsealed.

After turning over these temporarily unreadable parts, Avis saw another strange symbol that was different in shape from the symbol on the title page, but also filled the entire page.

Unlike the title page, this page did not make him addicted. He even felt dizzy when he stared at the symbol for a little longer.

He checked his spiritual sea and found no changes. He shook his head and turned the page.

There were two pages of content that could be read later, and the content was still the abstract landscape painting before.

But when Avis stared at them, the lines of these landscape paintings began to slowly wriggle like living things, and then automatically combined into a brand new content in his spiritual sea.

The text recording these contents was different from the main text. It was a kind of distorted and powerful terrifying text, exuding an extremely ancient breath.

Avis didn't know what civilization's language this was. He had never come into contact with them in any life.

But at the first sight of them, he instinctively understood their meaning.

Those were two spells:

[Touch of Distortion] and [Manipulation of Flesh and Blood]

The effect of [Touch of Distortion] was to summon a dark tentacle constructed by magic to tightly wrap the enemy. Enemies who touched the tentacle would hear strange whispers in their hearts.

This will reduce the enemy's rationality and cause serious mental interference. Enemies with low willpower will not be able to cast spells.

As the enemy's contact time with the tentacles increases, the whispers in the heart will become stronger and stronger. Even if separated from the tentacles, the whispering effect will not disappear immediately, but will slowly weaken as it appeared.

[Flesh Manipulation] can be used to control the flesh and blood of the recipient, but the recipient must be touched by the holder and must be lower in level than the caster, or have no resistance.

The caster can choose mild transformation or destructive distortion and mutation.

Moreover, this spell can be used on oneself.

Avis instantly understood the nature of the two spells. He could cast these two spells by instinct, but there was no model in his spiritual sea, nor any casting gestures and spells.

'There is no model, no spells and gestures. Rather than being a spell, it is better to say that it is a spell-like ability like a bloodline talent. '

When thinking of this, for some reason, a strange idea suddenly emerged in Avis' mind.

‘No, there may be spells and gestures, but that is probably not something that the human body can do…’

He dispelled the thoughts in his mind and casually cast a twisting touch. A black tentacle as thick as a wrist emerged from the ground and squirmed slightly in the air.

Looking carefully at the tentacle, Avis tried to manipulate it to roll up a stone, and the tentacle did it easily.

He then tried to roll up heavier objects with the tentacle, until he finally tried the cage containing the quorum, the tentacle was slightly weak.

He tried to touch the tentacle again, and a faint voice sounded in his mind, which was very similar to the whisper he heard when he first read the old secret book, but it did not cause any adverse effects on Avis.

“The power is probably equivalent to that of a first-level peak warrior, but I don’t know what effect this whisper will have on other creatures.”

Thinking about it, Avis couldn’t help but look at the quoll again.

"Let's go with you——"

"Hmph!——"

He caught another leopard beast, yes, it was the one with white stripes——Anweisi thought it looked more pleasing to the eye.

The leopard beast was once again placed on the ground by the wizard's hand, and then was firmly bound in place by the binding array. It turned its head listlessly and looked around, shaking its round tail.

Then, a slippery black tentacle suddenly emerged from its side and suddenly wrapped around its thigh.

"Hmph——Hmph——!"

The leopard beast was frightened and wanted to break free immediately, but due to the binding array, it could only passively endure the entanglement of the tentacle.

As time went on, the state of the leopard beast became obviously irritable, and its whole body was struggling constantly.

"So, the effect is similar to mania? Or mental confusion?"

After canceling the twisted touch, Anweisi pointed his staff at the forehead of the leopard beast and cast a sleep spell.

A spell wave flashed and the beast fell to the ground in a daze, snoring, and drooling from the corners of its mouth.

Seeing that the beast had fallen into a deep sleep, Avis reached out and pressed on the white stripes on its back, and activated the flesh and blood manipulation.

Visibly, the skin on the back of the quoll began to wriggle, and the straight white stripes began to fold, bend, and connect end to end...

Finally, it became a heart shape.

Avis chose a gentle transformation. In his perception, the effect of flesh and blood manipulation was not simply to transform the surface skin, but to completely change the arrangement of the deep flesh and blood.

During this process, the quorum did not react at all, which means that this transformation is likely to be painless, or the pain is not serious.

The effect of low-level sleep spells is not strong. If the pain is too strong, the quoll that has been hit by the sleep spell is likely to be awakened.

And, the most important thing is that although these flesh and blood tissues have been moved significantly, they seem to have grown there originally, and there are no adverse reactions!

Avis is very sure that after he ended the flesh and blood manipulation, the magic effect has ended.

This proves one point: the reason why these flesh and blood remain active is not magic, but that they can carry out normal nutrient circulation like other ordinary flesh and blood tissues!

You know, although many spellcasters can achieve this level, they are at least level 6 or above, and have a deep understanding of biological transformation.

And like this kind of spell, it can make a first-level wizard who knows little about biological transformation make this level of transformation almost instinctively, even the little Anweisi in his previous life has never heard of it.

In order to confirm the subsequent changes, Anweisi ordered people to keep this beast alone and prepare to observe it for a period of time.
