In the laboratory, an Orc with a terrified expression was bound in place by a Petrification Charm, watching Kael approach.
Kael covered his nose with so disgust.
These Orcs were like uncivilized beasts, dirty and foul-slling all over.
He quickly cast several Cleaning Charms to remove the Orc's odor before daring to get close.
Then he raised his wand, aid at the Orc, and cast a Human Transfiguration spell.
The Orc's body uncontrollably expanded and transford rapidly, becoming a small dragon resembling Smaug.
Though called a small dragon, it was still dozens of ters long, many tis larger than Kael standing before it.
The dragon-transford Orc regained movent. Though initially panicked, seeing the tiny Kael before it filled the creature with evil courage, and it lunged forward to bite him.
"Crucio!" Kael expressionlessly raised his hand with a Cruciatus Curse.
The dragon-transford Orc simultaneously collapsed to the ground in agony, letting out painful roars.
Kael had no interest in torturing his opponent. After teaching it a lesson, he disappointedly transford the dragon back into an Orc.
Though he knew Transfiguration couldn't truly transform one creature into another, the result before him was still sowhat disappointing.
Although the Orc had transford into dragon form, this dragon was rely superficial. It had neither a dragon's fire-breathing ability nor a dragon's strength. Essentially, it was still an Orc with a dragon's appearance.
However, Kael had already prepared himself ntally, so he wasn't too disappointed.
After all, if he could use Transfiguration to turn an Orc into a real dragon, he probably wouldn't be far from godhood.
Then he once again cast Human Transfiguration on the Orc.
But this ti, when casting, he not only wanted to transform the Orc's appearance but also attempted to forcibly break the magic circulation within the Orc's body, changing it toward Beorn's magic circulation pattern.
However, as soon as he broke the magic circulation within the Orc, the magic beca chaotic and violent.
The next second, the Orc was instantly torn to pieces by the violent magic within its body, blood and flesh splattering everywhere.
Kael quickly cast a Shield Charm to avoid getting covered in the Orc's gore.
Seeing the first test subject gone like this, Kael frowned and waved his hand to clear the sticky ss from the floor.
Then he went to the Orc prison and brought two more Orcs.
After petrifying one and leaving it aside, Kael again cast Transfiguration on an Orc.
But this ti, he didn't rashly break the magic circulation within the Orc.
Instead, he selected a small circulatory system and attempted to transform it into part of Beorn's circulation.
This ti the magic within the Orc didn't go chaotic, and that transford part of the magic circulation was replaced by Beorn's magic circulation pattern.
Kael was delighted and continued to gradually change the magic circuits within the Orc's body bit by bit.
This was very delicate and physically demanding work. Kael not only had to concentrate fully without any distraction, but also maintain constant magic input to prevent the magic balance within the Orc from being disrupted.
Otherwise, the outco would probably be like the previous Orc, direct body explosion and death.
As ti passed little by little, sweat appeared on Kael's forehead.
But with just a mont of distraction, the magic circulation within the Orc suddenly beca unbalanced.
The Orc's own magic circulation and Beorn's magic circulation coexisted within one body, creating conflict.
Kael sensed trouble and imdiately cast a shield in front of himself.
The Orc beca extrely pained, its body constantly twisting and deforming, becoming utterly miserable.
However, contrary to Kael's expectations, the Orc didn't explode but underwent transformation. Its body arched, limbs twisted to crouch on the ground, claws grew out, and its ugly face protruded outward with tusks growing.
It finally beca a deford, very ugly monster that was half-Orc, half-bear.
If the previous Orc could still be called a humanoid creature, the current Orc could truly be called a half-Orc.
Kael tried casting a Transfiguration Reversal spell, but it had no effect. The Orc had completely beco its current form.
Even the magic circulation within its body had beco a hybrid mutation of skin-changer and Orc magic circulation.
Kael shook his head and waved his wand to immobilize the Orc that had lost its reason and was roaring at him like a wild beast.
Another wave sent it to the giant spider breeding room as food for the newly hatched giant spiders.
Then he looked at another Orc with terrified, despairing eyes, summoned it over, and continued the next round of experints.
In the following days, he spent most of his ti in the laboratory.
Under the modification of Transfiguration spells, various grotesquely shaped Orcs appeared. So covered in bear fur, so with bear heads and Orc bodies, so half-bear half-Orc, so with bear-transford limbs, even so with bear bodies and Orc skin... all kinds of monsters.
These failed products were, without exception, all sent to feed the giant spiders.
Until this day, when Kael selected Orc leader Sarzog as a test subject.
Sarzog looked at the wizard before him with terror and fear. He knew that during these days, all the Orcs taken away had been used for experints, and without exception, none had reappeared.
Their fate was self-evident.
He wanted to beg for rcy, even willing to beco a slave, but the other party didn't give him this chance, directly immobilizing him so he couldn't make a sound.
This wizard before him seed even more terrifying than his forr master, the Dark Lord.
If there were dicine for regret, he would have left Gram Mountain early and hidden sowhere far away.
Kael didn't care what Sarzog thought. After these days of experints, having consud over fifty Orcs, he had gained so mastery over magical transformation.
So he was confident about this experint.
Then he skillfully cast Transfiguration again, his gaze concentrated and focused.
He very patiently changed the magic circulation within Sarzog's body bit by bit.
Even with his face covered in sweat and ntally exhausted, he still didn't dare relax in the slightest.
Until finally, Beorn's magic circulation completely replaced the magic circulation within the Orc's body, and Kael finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The Orc leader Sarzog showed pain on his face, his body rapidly expanding and twisting. Under Kael's expectant gaze, he transford into an ugly, fierce giant bear.
The giant bear was a size smaller than Beorn's form, but still towered over normal creatures. Its powerful paws could easily crush an Orc to death.
The giant bear emanated dark aura throughout, like a demonic bear!
Kael's face showed a smile. He sensed magic power from this giant bear.
Though it leaned toward darkness rather than Beorn's natural attributes, it was no longer an ordinary bear.
"Diffindo!" Kael shot a spell at the giant bear.
The giant bear cried out in pain. Controlled by its wild nature, it instinctively roared at its attacker.
The spell that could originally kill an Orc now only left a wound on the giant bear, and this wound was healing at a visible rate.
"Crucio!" Seeing the giant bear attacking him, Kael directly cast a Cruciatus Curse.
After making the giant bear lose its resistance in pain, he used the Imperius Curse to control it.
"Now, try to change back to your original form," Kael commanded the giant bear.
The giant bear's eyes were vacant as it instinctively obeyed Kael's command, trying hard to return to its original form.
The giant bear's body continuously shrank, its bones reorganized, and it finally changed back to Orc appearance.
Thus, the world's first Orc "skin-changer" appeared.
In the following days, Kael devoted himself entirely to studying this perfect test subject, researching the changes in magic circulation when it switched forms and the switching points that controlled the changes.
When he had thoroughly researched it and could learn nothing more from Sarzog, Kael directly sent him to the afterlife with a spell and threw him to the giant spiders.
After mastering Beorn's transformation secrets, Kael didn't imdiately begin testing on himself.
After all, what he wanted was to upgrade his Animagus, not to beco able to transform into a giant bear like Beorn.
Next, he studied the magic circulation systems of dragon Smaug, basilisk Herpo, and great eagle Thorondor, researching the differences between them.
He tried transforming the magic within an Orc's body into a dragon's magic circulation pattern.
But the small amount of magic within the Orc obviously couldn't support dragon form. Before completing the magical transformation, the Orc was directly drained of magic and even life force, instantly becoming a mummified corpse.
Afterward, he tried transforming Orcs one by one into basilisks and great eagles through magical transformation.
The laboratory was filled with grotesque chiras: Orcs covered in snake scales, creatures bearing snake heads on human torsos, abominations with Orc heads writhing atop serpentine bodies, eagle-headed humanoids, winged Orcs, and the disturbing sight of Orc heads grafted onto eagle bodies.
Moreover, with the magic within Orcs' bodies, they couldn't support transformation into complete basilisk and great eagle forms at all.
However, Kael also discovered that whether dragons, basilisks, or great eagles, their magic circulation operation thods were basically similar, with the only differences being in subtle details.
Seeing this, Kael specifically went to the Trollshaws to capture several trolls, and to the Misty Mountains to capture several wargs, to increase sample numbers.
He summarized all samples' magic circulation systems and began attempting to create new magic circulation thods.
In the following days, the number of Orcs decreased rapidly. They either died from direct body explosion or beca various monsters.
Just when Orcs were running low and Kael was thinking about whether he needed to capture more Orcs, whether by luck or design, he had a sudden inspiration during a new magical transformation. Incorporating a runic symbol representing fire, the Orc actually transford into a giant firebird!
The firebird was half the size of an adult great eagle, with feathers showing a reddish-black color, and could breathe fire!
Kael looked at the firebird before him with surprised, wide eyes.
This was an unexpected change produced by fusing dragon and great eagle magic circulation systems, plus adding a fire runic symbol.
Though the firebird before him was still far from the phoenix in his mory, it had exceeded his original expectations.
He quickly recorded the magic circulation system within this firebird.
His future Animagus advancent would depend on it!
