Chapter 603 Transformation

Chapter 603 Transformation

Liam gritted his teeth, focused on the two beads completely, and then in one swift motion, he sent more mana into the soul beads, thereby completely distorting them and undoing all of his forging efforts.

The next instant the two beads popped open like paint pellets spraying soul energy everywhere, but before the essence of the two souls could dissipate, Liam hurriedly caught hold of these two energy bundles.

He then once again pulled them together and started forging them, but this time instead of forging them into two different soul beads, he merged them together and started forging them as one.

This way the resulting beast would be completely reborn with stronger soul energy and better attributes? This was just a hunch Liam had so he attempted using the chicken souls.

He had thought about this before too but it seemed impossible. However, that changed after seeing the tower master's soul split into two. If a soul could be split into two, then two souls could be combined together?

The chances of failure were too still high but Liam decided to give it a try anyway. Even if it fails he wasn't going to lose much. He summoned the mana hammers and started forging the two souls together forcefully.

Surprisingly, it did not take too long. Just after a few minutes, Liam felt the two souls merge together without any issue, and when he condensed the whole thing into a single soul bead, the soul fragments easily obeyed him.

His manipulation and control of the soul particles had increased by leaps and bounds when compared to the first time he had forged something.

Another couple of minutes later, a notification arrived as well.

<Ding. Soul forging successful>

When the bead expanded and the new soul flashed in front of him, Liam almost couldn't believe his eyes.

The chicken standing in front of him was double the size of a normal chicken. It also had two heads. Not just that the beast looked much stronger and studier than a normal chicken.

If he had to be more specific, then this would be an elite-rank chicken.

Liam opened up the stats for the double-headed chicken when he suddenly received another notification.

<Ding. You have learned a new skill - Soul Transmutation>

<Soul Transmutation: Forge two or more souls or other items together into an entirely new type of soul; The forged soul has the chance of gaining additional attributes and abilities>

<Ding. You have now acquired 60% of the Legacy>

Liam stared at this notification in shock. He actually gained a new skill. This was good. This experiment was a success. He grinned in satisfaction and next called over two rabbits. He wanted to practice this skill more and understand it completely.

"Hmmm… The skill description mentioned two or more souls or items. Does this mean I can also forge items along with souls?" Liam silently pondered as he started tinkering with the two rabbit soul minions.

This was a big clue he had received so he wanted to analyze it properly. Somehow taking bits and pieces of inspiration from here and there, he had managed to acquire 60% of the legacy. Now only 40% was left.

What would happen if the complete legacy was acquired? Just the thought made Liam restless with excitement. Soon! He would achieve it soon!

As they were, the chickens and rabbits were too weak even if they were level 30, so Liam started with them first and started forging two and three souls of these weaker beasts together.

It looked like a chicken and a rabbit could not be forged together. The souls became far too chaotic and dissipated, but he still managed to forge three chickens together and three rabbits together.

This resulting beast was much stronger than the one obtained after forging two souls. Liam immediately tried to forge four souls together but once again that resulted in failure. So for now it looked like he would only be able to forge three souls together.

Liam spent a few hours training with these smaller beasts when he finally decided to take a break. In front of him, there were five chickens and five rabbits in total. However, these were not ordinary beasts.

All the chickens had three heads and the rabbits had three tails. They were bigger and stronger compared to the normal chicken and rabbits and three of the five chicken elites also gained a new ability, [Hurricane Peck].

The damage this skill dealt was quite significant especially if the attack happened to occur at a vital point.

The rabbits also were no less. Two out of the five rabbits gained a new skill [Bleed Bite] and one of the remaining rabbits gained another skill [Death Kick].

Overall, Liam was satisfied with this batch. More importantly, this was still a work in progress.

By now he was sure that he could condense these souls back to the bead form any time he wanted and forge them again and again, over and over. So in the future, he might even be able to make these beasts stronger.

"Ok. That's enough. I have spent a lot of time in this area. Now we should test out what damage you guys can do." Liam stood up and stretched his limbs.

The group once again started moving toward the border of the Kingdom and not long after they finally ran into the first group of barbarians!

Liam looked at the group of sturdy thick bulky beings with slightly orcish features and grinned. "Time to test the newly forged minions. Go and get them."

Almost instantly, the group of soul minions swarmed the barbarians. There were only six barbarians in the group.

With Crawford swiftly dealing with four of them, the others took care of the rest. Within a few seconds, the group was already gone, vanished into nothingness.

Only a few drops of equipment remained on the ground and they were promptly brought over to Liam.

Everything was over in a minute. This was way too easy, but they were still on the outside.

Once they enter the enemy territory then there was going to be much bigger trouble, more barbarians and this was what Liam was looking forward to as well!
