Chapter 260 Devouring the Soul
But as mentioned before, due to the huge size, this advantage is difficult to be brought into play, which makes Noshier not need this ability most of the time, because the area where it can be reasonably applied is too small.
But even if various disadvantages limit the use of this ability, Noshier cannot deny the power of this ability. He can't help but imagine that if he can find a way to transfer this ability to a more suitable devil body, then his dilemma of sneaking into a place without being able to carry equipment will be perfectly solved.
Well, although it sounds unlikely, Noshier actually has some ideas about this experiment.
He glanced at the three devil servants around him, then waved his hand, asking them to stay away from him temporarily. The devil servants instantly received Noshier's order from the consciousness level, and obediently came to the outermost part of the room and began to stand guard, while Noshier himself walked to a deeper room at this time.
Noshier looked around and found that the room was relatively empty, with no items and no light. It could be said that it was quite in line with Noshier's needs at the moment. After entering the room, he closed the door and reached out to pick a few soul gems from the crown on his head.
These gems corresponded to a little devil, a hedgehog and a chain demon. At this time, the reason why Noshier took these gems off the crown was actually to do an experiment he wanted to try a long time ago.
"A long time ago, the panel mentioned in the skill introduction of the crown equipment that the nine-ring spell attached to it also had some strange effects that had never been developed and were completely unknown. Since then, I have begun to wonder, what other effects of the crown have I not discovered? How can I thoroughly develop those unknown effects?"
These thoughts have always accompanied Noshier, but at that time, he did not have the ability to study the hidden effects of the crown. However, now he finally has something that can serve as experimental consumables. Although it is still not much, just these few gems are enough to support him to make some possible and bold experiments.
After Noshiel felt around for a while with the gems of the same size, he put them in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully. Dark Vision allowed him to clearly see the bright colors of the gems in this dark environment, and the three gems themselves were almost exactly the same, which made them look so mysterious no matter how many times he looked at them.
He used to think that the more powerful the devil, the more colorful, mysterious, and even larger the gems would be, but now it seems that this is not the case. Obviously, the sources of these gems are different, and each devil is different, but the gems transformed by their souls are almost exactly the same in appearance. What is the secret?
Noshiel didn't know, but at least now he has the conditions to unveil the mystery of this stone to a certain extent.
Noshiel looked at the three gems in his hand. After some hesitation, he quickly determined the soul bodies of these gems through the perception ability of the crown, and then selected the two gems of the little devil and the chain demon from the only three soul gems he had.
He put the gemstone related to the little devil into the space box on his waist, and then put the space box on the open space next to it. After that, he re-embedded the gemstone related to the chain demon on the crown. After completing all this, Noshier directly activated the power of the crown and turned his body into a chain demon without iron chains wrapped around his body.
Then Noshier opened his left hand again. At this time, in his left palm was the only remaining soul gemstone of the hedgehog demon. He picked up the gemstone with his fingers and swallowed it into his stomach without much hesitation.
Yes, this is the relevant experiment that Noshier mentioned.
He had always guessed that the body of the devil might be promoted in some way. By feeding a soul gemstone transformed by another devil to a specific devil body, he could test whether the devil body could inherit the innate ability of another devil. This method of directly swallowing the soul crystal of another devil was the simplest and most likely guess that Noshier could think of.
However, this experimental method is actually quite crude, and there may be additional risks. However, Noshier himself is not a master of magic. If he wants to test the hidden additional abilities of the nine-ring spell on the crown, the only experiment he can do is to directly test the specific effects through the human body like now.
However, although this experiment seems quite reckless, rough, and irresponsible, Noshier is not too worried that this experiment will really harm him.
There are several specific reasons. First, the soul gem created by the crown is a fairly stable crystal. Noshier can be sure that no matter what creature swallows it, as long as it is not broken, the crystal will not have any additional effect on it, so simple swallowing will not have much effect on him. Because Noshier himself has the crown as an equipment blessing, he guesses that he may have some unexpected reactions after swallowing the soul stone, but it doesn't matter even if he guesses wrong.
Even if the experiment fails, he can find time to pull it out later, although at that time Noshier will definitely never use the gem again.
The second reason is that the body he is using for the experiment is not even his real body, but a real chain demon body transformed by the crown through its own ability. In this state, even if there is a problem, it is almost impossible to affect Noshil's body, so Noshil is very relieved.
Of course, this is an unprecedented experiment after all. It is reasonable to say that any accident is possible, but even so, Noshil is not worried that his body will suffer any fatal damage.
The third reason for his confidence is that his physique is very strong. Simply eating a stone has little effect on him. The high vitality given to him by the bear totem also gives him the confidence to be willful to a certain extent. Now Noshil has a basic physique of 20 points and a series of peculiar abilities related to it, which is the so-called legendary physique. Even if something unexpected happens, he will never die easily with such a strong physique.
It is precisely because of various reasons that Noshil made such a bold experiment, and if this experiment can succeed, then Noshil will instantly have a plug-in that can be called a real cheat. The bright future brought by this possibility is enough for him to take risks and bet on what kind of reaction this experimental method will produce?
