Chapter 1366 Blood of Hybnos
Medea and Ruby immediately cheered and supported Joan's proposal, after which they ran back to their rooms to try on new dresses and jewelry.
Joan was not interested in shopping, and she couldn't give ladies any advice on fashion. After putting down her teacup, she went back to the study room, neatly placed the stationery and experimental utensils on the desk, opened the spell book, and indulged in the My own little world.
During this trip to the North Bay, Joanne obtained three valuable blood samples from sea wolves, Kista and Mok fish monster Hybernos.
Joan came to analyze the sea wolf's blood sample first.
Sea wolves belong to an aquatic subspecies of "beastmen", which are similar to "worms" in many ways.
Joan himself has the "blood of lycanthropy". When he was researching "wormy disease", he also read a lot of research literature on "lycanthropy" and "lycanthropy". The same applies.
Whether the symptoms of lycanthropy come from congenital inheritance or acquired infection, there must be lycanthropy virus in the sea wolf.
The sea wolf family is like other types of lycanthropes, most of them are evil, cruel and bloodthirsty, especially on the night of the full moon, affected by the phase of the moon, the animal nature replaces the human nature, unable to restrain the madness, and often commit sensational murders and even Cannibalism.
These mental symptoms are a concentrated expression of the negative impact of the veterinary virus on sea wolves, making them unable to live peacefully like normal people and difficult to integrate into human society.
However, while the lycanthropy virus damages the rationality of sea wolves, it also endows them with powers beyond human beings, which is the iconic supernatural ability of lycanthropes—shape change.
Joan analyzed the magic imprint corresponding to this supernatural ability from the sea wolf's blood sample, and the analysis result was not beyond his expectations.
The magic mark is divided into three units, corresponding to the three forms of sea wolves - humanoid form, hybrid form and beast form.
There's not much to say about the humanoid form.
The hybrid form has enhanced physical properties, enhanced natural defense, and the skin containing magic is very tough. Only silver-plated weapons are not hindered by this layer of enchanted skin, and can cause real damage to sea wolves.
The fully animalized sea wolf looks like a seal with a wolf's head. Its strength and physique are further enhanced. The thick subcutaneous fat brings stronger resistance to fighting than the hybrid form. In this form, the intelligence attribute of the sea wolf will be significantly weakened.
Joan transcribed the magic imprint analyzed from the sea wolf's blood sample into the spell book, and then studied Kista's blood sample.
Kista's blood is light golden in color and contains abundant magic power. Joan analyzed three sets of magic marks from it, corresponding to three supernatural abilities.
First of all, of course, is "Petrified Gaze". Judging from the configuration of the imprint, it is similar to the similar abilities of the petrified lizard and the Gorgon.
The creatures with petrification ability that Joan has studied before all have one thing in common, their blood can undo the petrification caused by themselves.
Kista's blood also conforms to this rule, but in addition, Kista's blood has another magical effect, which Joan has personally experienced before, which is to apply the blood on the skin to temporarily obtain a similar " The benefit of "Stone Skin Technique", every time you receive a physical attack, you can reduce the damage of 3 energy levels - except for fine gold weapons.
Kista's third supernatural ability, which was also demonstrated in front of Joan, was transformed from a sea monster into a 20-foot speedboat, which would not capsize even in rough seas.
In the end, Joan focused on analyzing the blood collected from the corpse of "The Whisperer" Hybnos.
This cunning Mok fish monster has the ability to cast spells equivalent to a 13th-level warlock. In addition to zero to six-level spells, Joan also analyzed two sets of magic imprints from his blood, corresponding to the race of the Mok fish monster. Two unique supernatural abilities - "hypnotic light wave" and "spell reversal".
The cyan magic light waves that emerge from the eyes of the Mok fish monster can cause a "hypnosis" effect on creatures within a 30-foot cone, as if hearing whispers full of temptation from the ear, if the will is not firm enough, it will be hypnotized and follow suit Followed closely behind the mok fish monster, like a mouse attracted by the piper in a fairy tale.
The magic imprint of "Hypnotic Light Wave" looks very similar to the 3-ring spell "Hypnotic Pattern", and some details are exactly like the bard's "Ecstasy".
The Mok fish monster can release "hypnotic light waves" at will, luring weak-willed prey to its own mouth, or luring the opponent into a trap. It is through this rather insidious supernatural ability that Hibnos earned the title of "The Whisperer".
The second supernatural ability of the Mok fish monster is the "spell reversal" that Joan is very familiar with.
The "magic reversal" of the Mok fish monster is almost exactly the same as the similar ability of the flail snail, and the upper limit of the magic power level of the cumulative reversal is also 30 degrees.
Once this limit is exceeded, the reversal barrier will collapse on its own, and the Mok fish monster will have to rest and meditate for at least an hour before the collapsed spell reversal barrier can reopen.
After transcribing the magic imprint, Joan then checked the spell configuration analyzed from Hibanos' blood.
There are a total of 20 spells mastered by Hibanos, most of which Joan has learned long ago, and only four spells are new knowledge that has not been transcribed. Except for the 4th-level "Roar", the other three are 6th-level spells The spells are "Instructing", "Chain Lightning", and "6th-level Monster Summoning".
The 4th level "Roaring Technique", the spell structure is similar to the 2nd level "Shattering Sound Wave", but it is more complicated and can be considered as an enhanced version of the latter.
The day before yesterday in the depths of the Horseshoe Island Lagoon, Joan was bombarded by the "Whisperer" Hiberos with the "Roaring Technique". Fortunately, the "Iron Maiden" put a layer of flail volute with sound insulation and shockproof functions, otherwise he would have been in the same situation at that time. It's dangerous.
The attack range of "Roar" is a 30-foot cone directly in front of it. Creatures in the burst area will suffer sonic damage of up to 10 energy levels. If the resistance is not strong enough, their ears will be deafened on the spot.
In addition, the "roaring technique" also retains a common feature of sonic spells - hard and brittle substances such as glass, ceramics, and crystals are particularly prone to resonance, and the moment they are bombarded by the "roaring technique", Will take double damage.
The next thing Joan transcribed was "Instruction Technique". This 6-level enchantment control spell is an advanced version of the 4-level "secondary commanding technique".
If the subject refuses to obey the caster's order, he will continue to suffer from headaches and nausea like Kista. Although it is not fatal, it will make the subject lose combat effectiveness, and the symptoms will not disappear until obediently obeying the order.
