Chapter 197 End of surgery and some designs
No one cares whether the mages in the Mage Tower regret it or not.
At least for now, Abes, Hirayama and Matthew are focusing on the second half of the operation.
After using the mithril dagger to absorb the scorpion-tailed lion venom and then cutting off the magic web, the difficulties had just begun.
"The endless source of energy for this improved version of the acid curse is its host itself. All living beings have natural magic networks and magic circuits in their bodies to maintain the most basic magic power."
"After the surrounding magic web is cut by the mithril weapon stained with manticore venom, the spell will produce a misjudgment, a misjudgment that it has infected the entire biological individual. It is still unknown what changes will happen to the acid curse next."
This is natural. Generally speaking, an individual who encounters the acid curse will die before every part of his body, inside and out, is corroded by the magical acid.
Therefore, it is highly likely that there are no observation records, and there is no way to imagine what will happen next, or even think of such a thing.
"If Master Hinodenagi had not detected subsequent drive in the remnants of the spell, I would not have made such preparations." Matthew said this, and then put the alkaline herbs and potion extracts that he had prepared long ago on the cut wound according to the procedure.
The spell has some kind of follow-up drive, meaning it never stops at the replicating acid, but leaves a "big one" behind.
These were some of the problems that were discovered at the beginning, and relevant records had been made before the operation.
With the help of the images displayed by the mist hovering above his head, even Abes could clearly understand what the doctor in front of him was doing at every step.
"First up is... the Sunshine Spring."
The liquid dripped gently onto the wound, attacking the acid.
If the griffin had not been anesthetized, remained conscious and able to speak, it would have felt the pain around the wound slightly relieved.
"At this time, it is not advisable to use too much liquid potion. Because acid is also a liquid, if too much liquid is mixed and diffused, it may exceed the range of the magic net forged by the manticore venom."
Then, Matthew poured out some powder and a moss-like herbal ingredient.
The powder is as fine as dust, floating on the wound, like a protective shield, isolating it from external intrusions.
The moment the powders came into contact with the acid, a miraculous reaction occurred, and gradually neutralization changes could be seen.
Then, a tube of freshly drawn griffin blood was used as one of the ingredients and mixed with several other crushed herbal ingredients to form a mixture that could be applied to the wound.
Under Matthew's arrangement, these things did not directly attack the acid, but were applied to where the scorpion tail lion venom was located, which was the outermost incision made by the mithril dagger.
"We need to consolidate it now to prevent the Manticore venom from spreading further. We only want it to be able to cut off the magic web, not to poison the griffin to death."
The poultice mixed with griffin blood gives off a slight burning sensation, which guides the manticore venom to remain on the surface of the incision without further penetrating and entering the blood circulation.
As the drug took effect, Abes could clearly observe that the swollen skin on the griffin's leg where the curse had hit it began to subside.
At this time, Bing Nagi also took out her slender magic wand from her head, gently waved it above the wound, and muttered something.
The tip of the wand flickered with a soft light, which gradually penetrated deep into the wound.
Although the power of magic is not needed to treat the entire acid curse, and it can even be said to be powerless, Matthew is needed as a doctor to perform semi-magical treatment.
But after Matthew took several steps like this, everything has basically been settled, so the spell can be used to try to contact the wound.
The entire treatment process was also shocking to Abes.
In today's world, even if the drugs have similar properties and do not conflict with each other, it is rare that they are all put in at once.
Those that can finish two or three bottles of infusion in one go are, without exception, conventional drugs that have been verified by trillions of people and have absolutely no physical and chemical conflicts.
I can only say that this is indeed a world full of magic.
A variety of alkaline herbal extracts and potions can be used so quickly, and even two different liquid phases can be mixed to hedge each other. This operation is absolutely impossible in modern medicine and is also a clever means of utilization.
Very unusual and eye-opening.
"This is our way of dealing with this. After so long, we have finally collected all the alkaline herbs and potions for this purpose."
"Since Mage Hionagi said that the final follow-up drive of the spell will explode when it thinks that the entire body has been corroded by acid, then it is likely that the attribute of the borrowed magic power has changed."
"Before that, before the final change occurs, we should first eliminate all the acidic substances, and perhaps end the subsequent drive of the spell."
But, will it really happen this way?
However, the effect did not meet expectations.
Just when the last herbal extract was embedded in the bone crack along with the silver fragments and was about to begin suturing, something strange happened.
A wave of magical power.
Could it be that the spell has been restarted?
Matthew looked at Hibiki with a nervous look, and the other nodded just as seriously, "Pay attention, the big one is coming."
In response to this, Abess also showed an apologetic expression, "No matter how I interrogated old Winston before, I didn't get the answer I wanted. It was my fault. I can only ask you to face it now without any clue."
As he spoke, Abes was also preparing the bard's spell.
It is obviously inappropriate to activate the Barbarian's Fury at this time. What he needs is patience, not crazy power and speed that does not last long.
Besides, the trace of madness that Gruumsh left in his mind has not been completely resolved yet, and now he dare not use his rage as freely as before.
But if the situation changes in a while, the first thing he needs to control is the griffin.
At times like this, some of the bard's spells, some control methods, and calming methods become a possible solution.
Although spells have limited effect on magical beasts, it is better to do something than nothing.
Next to the operating table, Matthew and Hiiragi were also confused and nervously conducting the examination.
Could it be that after the subsequent drive of the acid curse was interrupted by Matthew using alkaline herbal extracts and potions, the opponent's acid curse still had a way to revive?
And finally, when the not-so-strong but extremely obvious magical fluctuations began to surge to its peak.
The result was finally revealed, a fierce flame.
"It really is a property change... Damn it, but how did they do that?"
Flames emerged from the griffin's body and from the wound, instantly devouring the medicines and treatments around the wound, turning them into nothing.
Faced with the flames gushing out of the griffin's body, both of them had shock and helplessness in their eyes.
In fact, this flame is not that big. If the magic arm armor is fully activated, it can be many times more violent than this flame.
However, this thing came out from the wound, from the patient on the operating table...from the body of the sick beast.
Such a sudden change caused the flames before their eyes to be like a raging beast, instantly devouring the medicines, beds, bandages around the wound, as well as their several hours of energy and the effects of the treatment.
The frost mage, Bing Nagi, finally showed a hint of determination in her eyes after a brief hesitation. She quickly used her magical power to find a solution to put out the fire.
The cold frost power gathered between her palms, forming a ball of light blue.
Hyo Nagi aimed at the burning flame, waved it gently, and the ball of light flew towards the location of the flame.
Then, a light blue magic ball containing frost power exploded in the air, releasing bursts of cold air that gradually covered and froze the flames.
The flames gradually died out under the power of ice and frost, and a cool feeling spread.
"Luckily you're here..." Abes watched Hiinagi's performance with approval.
Her movements were clean, smooth, calm and decisive, displaying the dignity and skill of a great wizard.
Then, Hiinagi's gaze turned to the griffin that was on fire.
She took a step forward, flicked her fingers, and a frost arrow was ready to shoot at the fire on the griffin that was beyond their imagination.
However, Matthew's words made her withdraw her finger.
"No, if we launch a spell of this magnitude now, it will break through the magic network, and our work will be in vain!"
……
Isn’t it all in vain now?
With great doubt, Bing Nagi still stopped her attack.
Earlier, at the end of the operation, she helped use magical treatment, and at that time she did not break through the magic net because her movements were gentle and slow and did not cross the line.
If we were to just shoot an ice arrow at it like we are doing now, the situation would of course be completely different.
At this moment, the fire that suddenly broke out in the room was controlled, but the fire on the griffin's legs had not yet been controlled.
The griffin's body began to twist in the flames, and then - it let out a sharp roar, expressing pain and despair.
"Damn it, the effect of the anesthetic has worn off... Hey, that's not right, it's still early, what's going on?"
Matthew asked himself anxiously.
Abes felt a little uneasy about this. Child, even if the anesthetic has not worn off and his body is on fire, can the patient still remain motionless?
In response to this, Abes could only sigh, and then cast out the bard's spells that he had prepared long ago.
"Calm down first, we will come to rescue you soon..."
With these spells, plus the anesthetic effect that had not yet ended, and the riding protection that Abes activated again, the griffin finally lay down again.
Otherwise, if its claws had hit Matthew, Abes could have held a joint funeral for Matthew and the griffin.
The operation seems to be ending like this?

----------
Analyzing the rune groups of relevant commonly used spells has been a task that Kronos has been carrying out since he began learning about runes.
In fact, on the second day after taking over the royal capital, a rather secret mission fell on Kronos's head.
That's the design of the flying vehicle.
"In the middle of the night, those mages actually dropped from the sky to bomb us. This is intolerable... If we don't have a force that can also carry out air strikes, we can only passively take the beating."
But Kronos found the ancient hero in front of him a little funny.
Passively take a beating?
Take a good look at who it was just now. He interrupted the opponent's surprise attack spell with a sword and almost seriously injured the opponent's three-in-one mage armor, making them fly back in fear.
Although currently the only one who possesses the ability to fly is the Mage Ice Nagi, flying up would definitely be a death sentence.
But fortunately, with the number and level of strong men they had on the ground, it was impossible for those mages to come down.
However, the idea of forming an air strike force still made Kronos particularly excited.
Although the art of flying is not something uncommon in the world, basically all mid- to high-level mages who have achieved success in their training will learn this spell which has an extremely good cost-effectiveness.
However, for the vast majority of the people, for millions of ordinary people and non-spellcasters among the extraordinary beings, flying is indeed an unimaginable freedom and luxury.
If we could form such a flying strike force, let alone whether it could create great strategic and tactical advantages, the fact that it could fly would be absolutely worth it, easily worth it.
"If I had known that joining your recruitment would give me a chance to fly one day, I would definitely have done it."
At the beginning, Kronos was thinking about replicating Ms. Hiirogi's flying technique as quickly as possible using the rune set.
But soon, Kronos discovered that replicating the art of flying was not an easy task.
This is not something that can be achieved through careful consideration and precise spellcasting, but something beyond what Kronos currently knows.
Flame arrows, acid splashes, freezing touch... Before, Kronos had copied various spells with the help of Hyogi and Sister Agatha. No matter how different they were, they all involved a set of attack methods and a set of energy release.
As for life spells and functional spells, this was the first time that Kronos came into contact with them.
After repeatedly deducing the rune group structure and drawing it, Kronos soon realized that if he wanted to build a flying armed strike force in a short period of time, it would take far from enough time to rely solely on rune group replication.
Maybe one day, she will be able to exhaust all the numbers represented by runes, the calculation methods represented by all rune groups, and the results required by all spells, but that is something in the distant future.
Now, the best way for her to create a flying armed strike force would be...
"Vehicles," Abes reminded, "Carrying people, flying vehicles."
“You can design based on biological appearance. I call this kind of thinking biomimicry.”
