Chapter 17 Spider Arm

In the dim basement, Suren took out the alchemical implant he had retrieved from the black market.

It was a set of spider arms that, when retracted, were unremarkable, but when extended, reached nearly eight meters.

Under the flickering gaslight, the eight spider arms reflected a layer of dark, cold light that seemed like gold but wasn't. And upon closer inspection, each spider arm was densely engraved with mysterious and complex runes.

The reason a "forging master" was needed to craft this implant was rooted in these runes. Engraving enough runes on such narrow spider legs was definitely not something an ordinary craftsman could do.

Although Suren's current alchemy level was still far from that of a master, his vision was not lacking.

He could see that the spider legs contained not only single-layer runes but also intertwined multi-layered rune techniques.

It was like overlapping several different patterns on the same piece of paper, each pattern had to remain independent and complete without affecting each other. This required extremely high rune engraving skills.

Suren was very satisfied with the appearance of this implant. The color was low-key and stable, and the key was that it could meet various professional needs.

With the firmness of the All-Knowing Eye, he was not afraid of the Black Tower's deputy dean leaving any hidden dangers in the implant.

As expected, it was as described in the drawings, and even had some minor attribute improvements due to the special materials.

[Eight-Armed Spider God Spear]

Detailed explanation: First-order dark gold quality alchemy implant, requires high skill to control; Stowage value rating above A+, first-order dark spiritual power value 1350 points, distortion rate less than 8%; After fusion, body comprehensive toughness +25, elemental resistance +20, agility +12, toxin resistance +50%;

...

Alchemists are a very ancient profession.

They explore the mysteries of nature, seek the ultimate truth of the material world, but do not focus on their own training.

Ancient alchemist masters also discovered that a weak body was a shackle that limited their research into alchemy, and at the same time, their combat effectiveness would be very weak.

Some combat-type warlocks thought of transplanting some special biological components into their bodies to enhance their own attributes.

However, direct transplantation would cause the body to have rejection reactions between different organisms.

Until an ancient era, a mysterious and powerful super-order alchemist, Nicolas Flamel, came up with a method. He used the law of space + the law of equivalent exchange to develop a special implant fusion method that could "deceive" the body so it would not be rejected.

This method allows the external implant to exist on the host in the form of a "spatial imprint". It is usually sealed, and when needed, the seal is released and it can be used by driving it with dark spiritual power.

Later, after generations of alchemists perfected it, the current "Curse Seal Implant" system was slowly formed.

The current "new school warlocks" are even more extreme. They are no longer satisfied with biological limbs, but want to replace some or all of their limbs with machines...

...

After taking the [Distortion Tolerance Enhancement Potion], Suren determined that the success rate of fusion reached 97%.

He didn't hesitate and set up a five-pointed star alchemy array on the floor of the basement with the materials he had prepared long ago. Just like when he took the job before, he first chanted the common alchemist mantra, and then guided the formation to play its role.

"Follow the law of equivalent exchange of all things, praise the glory of the original creator, and witness the miracle of creation with alchemy..."

After the five-pointed star lit up, a wonderful "chemical reaction" began. The eight-armed spider spear implant gradually melted into the light of the formation, and then slowly merged into the body.

Before long, the light of the formation dissipated, and the implant fused perfectly.

Suren clearly felt a sense of comfort in his body, as if he was soaking in warm water. Looking at the attribute panel again, the toughness and resistance had visibly increased by a large margin.

Which also means... he's more resistant to beatings.

For example, if he used to get shot and a fist-sized hole would be pierced in his skin, now it would probably be much smaller, and the chance of survival would be greater.

Finally successfully fused with the implant, Suren is now considered a true first-order professional.

He thought for a while, formed hand seals with both hands, and transformed into eight warlock hand seals: Light, Swift, Crystal, Wind, Dark, Lightning, Strength, Stone.

The essence of the "Warlock Seal" is to guide the dark spiritual power in the body to flow in a special trajectory, so as to quickly condense the alchemy array and unlock the "spatial imprint" of the implant.

Each warlock seal represents a specific dark spiritual power flow trajectory.

Different implant seal combinations also have differences, following the distinction of the four basic attributes of "earth, wind, water, and fire". Suren's eight-armed spider spear belongs to the "metal attribute" implant, and requires eight seals to cooperate to set up the "Five-pointed Star Gold Flash Array".

Also, because he harvested the soul of Rosa, the teaching assistant of the Black Tower Academy, he obtained the [Fast Seal] skill. Although it was the first time to form a seal, he had a inexplicable sense of familiarity from the start. The eight kinds of seals were in order, and the dark spiritual power in his body also surged quickly.

The seal speed was fast and accurate. In less than two seconds, the five-pointed star array under his feet also lit up.

As the light dissipated, eight ferocious dark golden spider arms suddenly appeared on Suren's back.

"Is this what it feels like to have an implant..."

Suren felt very wonderful. Eight spider spears were added to the spine on his back, and even the skin on his entire back became tough.

It didn't feel like an external equipment, but like eight arms had appeared out of thin air, allowing his brain to feel the existence of this part of his body.

The ability to multitask allowed Suren to quickly enter the state. He controlled the spider arms and cautiously tried to climb the wall.

There are many sharp hairs and barbs on the spider legs, so it is easy to grab the wall and climb up.

Because he killed the Spider Queen in the underground cave before and stripped off the [Intermediate Spider Climbing] skill, Suren felt that there was no awkwardness at all when climbing the wall with spider arms. After the body was slightly familiar with the operation, it became more and more flexible. The eight legs alternately grabbed the wall, and the speed became faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, his whole body窜 up to the ceiling and hung upside down there.

"What a fast speed!"

Suren hung with joy.

He tried it slightly, and was shocked by his own movement speed.

Running with eight legs is at least several times faster than his previous two legs, and countless times more flexible.

After a slight test, the straight-line running speed is probably one or two times faster, but the turning speed has increased too exaggeratedly. Eight spider legs can teleport regardless of obstacles, stop suddenly, change direction, leap into the air, cross obstacles, and climb walls... The ability to pass through obstacles has increased n times!

After being skilled, it can be even faster.

If he had this spider implant when he went to the underground cave, would he still need to be chased by monsters?

Even if he can't beat them, even if he just runs, those mutated monsters can't catch up with him.

Suren even imagined a tactic that was very suitable for this spider leg implant - "Kite Flying"!

Fighting and running, fighting and chasing...

Coupled with his shooter's long-range shooting ability, this kind of off-body displacement ability, the combat power visibly soars by a large margin.

Whether in the wild or in the city, this is definitely a super-powerful ability to save lives and chase and kill.

...

However, this spider spear not only has the function of displacement, but also has a strong attack power.

There are also retractable "poisonous barbs" on the eight spider spears.

These barbs, engraved with [Armor-Breaking Runes] and [Solid Runes], can easily penetrate iron plates.

Suren jumped down from the ceiling, and the eight spider arms dispersed to buffer and relieve the force, so that his body was hardly impacted and landed smoothly.

At this time, he controlled a spider spear and stabbed it towards an old steam pipe not far away. It was like扎 into soft mud, and it penetrated very easily.

"What a strong piercing ability..."

Suren looked at the sparkling barbs on the spider spear, his eyes filled with different colors.

Although his marksmanship is good, his close combat ability is not very outstanding. Now that this spider implant is on his body, his close combat ability instantly soars several times.

Can you defeat an enemy with ten arms compared to two arms? What's more, it's an extraordinary arm with a single arm span of four meters, eight spears stab together, and can instantly stab people into a blood sieve...

At this time, Suren took out the puppet pulled by steel wire again.

Although the spider arm does not have fingers, it has eight arms anyway. The steel wool and barbs on the spider spear were originally used to control spider silk. They are smooth and flexible, and not even worse than fingers.

Now when controlling the steel wire, one spider arm can even control multiple steel wires, and several spider arms cooperate with each other, and the number that can be controlled is even greater.

This allows Suren to free up his hands to hold the gun while controlling two puppets at the same time.

"Now I can completely free my hands. When I really want to fight, I can control the puppets while forming seals and casting spells..."

Suren became more and more interested as he tried, and seemed to want to test where the limit of control was, and more and more steel wires were pulled.

But soon, he was dumbfounded.

After controlling four puppets, the steel wires were pulled all over the room, chaotic and disordered, and almost tied himself up.

For the first time trying to use eight minds at the same time, the skills are not yet proficient enough, and it is obvious that he is not up to the task.

However, even so, Suren was very satisfied.

After all, the [Multitasking] skill can improve proficiency with practice...

He is very satisfied with this eight-armed spider spear implant.
