21st Century Necromancer

Chapter 1004: Modulating Organs



As Jounouchi Hiromi was busy transforming into a Dragon Lich, Chen Yu in the Mage Tower was also busy adjusting the Dragonized Transformed Humans, modifying them from a warrior adaptation direction to a mage adaptation direction.

This modification wasn't complex nor difficult, as the Dragonized Transformed Humans were influenced by the Dragon Blood Potion to mutate, and the giant dragons themselves are transcendent creatures with powerful casting abilities.

Previously, when Chen Yu was adjusting the Dragonized Transformed Humans, he enhanced their physical bodies to boost their warrior abilities, without eliminating their casting abilities.

Because at low ranks, warriors can still rely solely on physical abilities to fight, but in the realm of higher ranks, even warriors need to possess a certain level of casting ability, though they don't release spells directly like mages but use quasi-spell abilities or advanced combat techniques instead.

There are people who purely use physical strength to elevate themselves to the domain of High-Rank Warriors, but they are one-in-a-million geniuses; it's very hard for ordinary people to reach such a domain.

Moreover, for a Necromancer, they prefer warriors with spell abilities. Cursed Swordsmen and Death-Herald Knights, possessing casting abilities, need no mentioning. Even the most traditional Death Knights have passive spell abilities like Fear Aura that can greatly enhance battlefield advantage.

As for why warriors can cast spells, isn't it quite normal? Just like why mages can't use a Mad Wand Technique to kill an idiot trying to engage them in close combat, why can't warriors cast spells?

Becoming a warrior does not mean forfeiting casting ability. Although some warrior professions do weaken or even abandon casting, it doesn't mean warriors lack quasi-spell abilities or can only be brutes using physical strength. They aren't immune to magic; their racial casting talent is still retained.

Therefore, advanced warrior professions always have combat techniques that require the aid of spell power, such as Flame Slash or Demoralizing Roar, which are considered quasi-spell abilities.

Because of this, even though Chen Yu had greatly enhanced their physical strength and implanted various modified organs to make them less human-like, if these Dragonized Transformed Humans were to change professions to mages, it would still be feasible.

It's just that without specialized casting ability adjustment, the casting ability of these Dragonized Transformed Humans is present but not outstanding.

Chen Yu's main focus in their adjustment was enhancing their brains, by adjusting the secondary brain implanted earlier to augment auxiliary casting functions; he adjusted the function of the second heart, diminishing recovery ability to enhance elemental affinity; he modulated the third lung, transforming it into a mana absorption organ, allowing mana to be absorbed from the environment through breathing; and adjusted the ribs grown into bone plates, making them...

When the first transformed Dragon Lich arrived at the Mage Tower, what he saw was a disassembled Dragonized Transformed Human's corpse on the dissection table, while Chen Yu was holding an organ in his hand, contemplating how to modify it.

Upon seeing the arriving Dragon Lich, Chen Yu, without even lifting his head, directly said, "Adjust the fourth organ over there; I need to enhance its instant mana capacity, as the current limit is too low, completely unable to support the release of high-level spells."

"Yes, Master." Although the Dragon Lich was only a skeleton, he could still use the soul attached to the skeleton to speak.

As for why the Dragon Lich called Chen Yu Master, it's easy to understand because when he was a Bone Dragon, the knowledge that Chen Yu was his master was already engraved in his soul.

Even after transforming into a Dragon Lich, this concept only gets reinforced rather than weakened.

The Dragon Lich quickly went to the operation table on the side, looking at the organ numbered four on it. He put down the Dragon Bone Staff and began the operation.

Though these Dragon Liches were transformed based on a simplified Lich transformation ceremony with additional Dragon Clan conversion elements added by Jounouchi Hiromi, they weren't lacking in knowledge. All the knowledge a real Lich should know had been recorded into their souls through the transformation ceremony.

Furthermore, because Jounouchi Hiromi added the Dragon Lich conversion part, these Dragon Liches also mastered Dragon Language Spells and related knowledge unique to the Dragon Clan.

Therefore, when this Dragon Lich was adjusting the fourth organ, there was no moment of helplessness or uncertainty.

Watching the seriously working Dragon Lich, Chen Yu suddenly felt something was off.

After halting his work and observing for a while, Chen Yu finally realized he could see the fourth organ being adjusted through the Dragon Lich's ribs, and then it struck him that the Dragon Lich didn't even have a piece of clothing covering it.

This made Chen Yu feel uncomfortable and awkward. Although being a Necromancer, having summoned plenty of skeletons, he was still unaccustomed to having someone working in his lab without wearing anything.

Hence, Chen Yu gave the Dragon Lich a new command: "There's a lab coat over there; go put it on."

Upon hearing Chen Yu's command, the Dragon Lich, though puzzled, still followed the order to put on the lab coat.

Seeing the Dragon Lich with the lab coat over its dragon head return to the operation table, though it still felt a bit awkward, it appeared much more pleasing to the eye, and Chen Yu finally turned his attention back to his work.

The spellcasting organ is a crucial component in a spellcaster's body. For humans, this organ is the brain and nervous system.

Thus, when human mages train their casting abilities, they enhance the mental capacity of their brains and the mana limit their nervous system can endure. From a certain standpoint, becoming a mage is essentially a process of converting their brains into spellcasting organs.

However, supernatural beings are different; most have a specialized spellcasting organ within their bodies.

For most supernatural beings naturally possessing casting abilities, casting spells isn't achieved by using spiritual power to constrain magic elements but by employing magic elements stored in their spellcasting organs.

The principles between the two are diametrically opposed.

Chen Yu was currently adjusting the third lung of the Dragonized Transformed Human, which was a crucial component of the complete set of magical organs intended for the Dragonized Mage. The Dragonized Mage could use this organ to directly absorb the free magic elements from the surrounding environment.

While the absorption problem is now resolved, Chen Yu still needs to address the storage issue of magic elements, as after all, this organ is meant for breathing, not for storage.
