The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 55 The upcoming experiment
Weiss immediately let go of Blackbeard and turned around to stop the Spaniard from taking action.

He cast the Transfiguration Spell again, summoning the giant anaconda. As soon as the giant snake appeared, it began to attack the Spaniards frantically. Every time it twisted, it was accompanied by an earth-shaking vibration.

The huge body rolled violently among the Spaniards, knocking down the soldiers who had no time to dodge. Then the giant snake opened its bloody mouth and let out a low roar.

Faced with the attack of the giant snake, the Spanish team suddenly fell into chaos, because they had never seen such a huge creature and were at a loss for a moment.

"Spread out! Don't let it capture more than one target at a time!" Amidst the chaos, an experienced Spanish captain shouted, his voice resounding louder in the noisy environment. He quickly assessed the situation and realized that if the team continued to gather together, they would become a perfect target for the giant snake.

"Shoot!" the captain immediately gave his second command. He drew his rifle from his waist, aimed at the giant snake, and pulled the trigger. The gunshot rang out, and the bullet whizzed towards the snake.

After hearing the captain's order, the other soldiers also began to come to their senses, raised their weapons and launched a fierce attack on the giant snake.

The sound of musket fire rang out one after another. What the Spaniards didn't expect was that when their bullets hit the giant snake, apart from splashing a few sparks, most of the bullets were bounced off the thick skin of the giant snake. Only a few penetrated its scales and did not cause any harm to it.

The giant snake was enraged by the series of attacks. It opened its bloody mouth, let out a deafening roar, then leaped forward suddenly, wrapping a dozen soldiers into its body.

The British army and pirates seized this opportunity to counterattack. They looked for advantageous positions in the chaos and used muskets and swords to attack the Spaniards who were restrained by the giant snake, forcing the Spaniards to retreat step by step.

In this chaotic situation, how could the Spaniards care about the fountain of youth?
Weiss turned his attention back to Blackbeard.

The magic that had just extracted his memory was interrupted, and he had to start over again.

Weiss pressed his wand against Blackbeard's temple, invaded his brain, and began searching for memories related to witchcraft.

Blackbeard's mind was filled with fragments, and Wes patiently filtered through the information until he found what he needed, memories of witchcraft.

This was undoubtedly an extremely painful experience for Blackbeard.

It felt like someone was stabbing his brain with an awl and stirring it.

Blackbeard opened his mouth, trying to wail in agony, but no sound came out, only saliva dripping slowly from the corner of his mouth. The once majestic pirate had now lost all his dignity.

"Father!!" Angelica was heartbroken when she saw her father being tortured. She wanted to save Blackbeard from Wes, but was stopped by Jack Sparrow.

"Jack, let me go. I want to save my father." Angelica couldn't break free no matter how hard she struggled.

Her face was covered with tears, and she cried and begged Jack Sparrow to let go. Facing his beloved girlfriend, Jack Sparrow hardened his heart and held her tightly, because he knew that interrupting Wes to save Blackbeard at this time would undoubtedly be a way to his own death.

Wes pulled out a shiny silk thread from Blackbeard's temple, which was Blackbeard's memory of witchcraft.

Weiss put it into a small bottle for future research into witchcraft.

After Blackbeard's memory was roughly extracted, he collapsed to the ground, looking like a body without a soul.

Weiss didn't care about his life or death. In his opinion, the Fountain of Youth had been found, and the remaining people became obstacles.

He began to chant a spell, and everyone present, except Angelica and Jack Sparrow, felt as if countless ants were crawling on their bodies.

The feeling grew even stronger until it became unbearable, and they began to scratch relentlessly, unable to stop the excruciating itch even if it broke their skin and bled.

Some people even rubbed themselves against hard rocks, leaving bloody marks all over their bodies from the sharp rocks, but it still did not help.

Weiss's spell lasted for a full five minutes before stopping. The itching sensation disappeared the moment it stopped. They gasped for breath, their faces filled with pain, and looked extremely miserable.

"Get out of here now..." Weiss's cold voice sounded, making people shudder.

After hearing this, everyone did not dare to hesitate. They picked up the weapons on the ground and started running back, fearing that they would run too slowly and be killed mercilessly by Wes.

"Take away all the bodies." Weiss ordered.

Those people did not dare to resist and fled in panic carrying the corpse.

To Wes's surprise, more people stayed than he expected. Jack Sparrow, Edward Teach, Hector Barbossa, Angelica, and Gibbs were still there. And of course, there was Blackbeard, lying on the ground, dying.

Jack Sparrow shrugged and said helplessly, "Mr. Wizard, I haven't received the promised reward yet?"

Gibbs hid behind Jack, trying his best to avoid Wes's sight, for fear that he would notice him accidentally.

Angelica was in tears. Looking at Blackbeard lying on the ground, she could only plead with Wes again.

"Please let my father go. As long as you let him go, I will do anything."

"He has no use to me anymore."

Weiss handed the Sword of Triton to Jack Sparrow, "Your Black Pearl is in Blackbeard's collection room."

Jack took the sword and stroked it gently. With this sword, he could control Queen Anna's Revenge, which meant he had two legendary pirate ships.

Weiss looked back at Hector Barbossa.

Hector raised his hands vigilantly and gave Weiss a flattering smile.

"Jack and I are old friends, and I want to go with him."

"Is there anything else?"

Everyone present could tell that Weiss was trying to get rid of them, so they all wisely prepared to leave.

Jack Sparrow wanted to ask Wes to release his old lover Elodie before leaving, but fortunately he was stopped by his henchman Gibbs.

"Don't anger the wizard. He needs the mermaids' tears, not their lives."

Just as the few people were returning to the cave through the pool, Hector Barbossa suddenly attacked and pierced Blackbeard's heart with a sword. After pulling out the sword, a large amount of blood spurted out of Blackbeard's chest. This scene shocked everyone.

As for what happened between them afterwards, Wes didn't want to know at all.

In order to avoid being disturbed in the future, Wes set up some traps at the entrance and exit of the pool. Anyone who broke in again would be given a "warm welcome".

After ensuring safety, Wes took out a table, a chair, and a magic prop similar to a microscope from the suitcase, and then arranged the place like a laboratory.

He took out the mermaid's tears and examined them carefully. The dark and damp environment and the imprisoned mermaid made the scene look like an evil wizard practicing some shameful witchcraft.

The secret of the Fountain of Youth is a sacrifice. Only through sacrifice can one's life be transferred to another.

The mermaid's tears, the Holy Grail and the water from the Fountain of Youth are all combined together, and none of them can be missing to complete this mysterious sacrificial ceremony.

The ritual works by transforming one person's soul and body into pure life force, which is then transferred into another. But how exactly does this work?

Can the Philosopher's Stone be purified of its resentful spirits? These are questions Weiss needs to research further.

At this moment, there is another problem facing Wes, that is, the location of the island has been exposed, and the British and Spanish who have escaped back will soon gather more soldiers and make a comeback.

Weiss thought about it and decided to hide the location of the Fountain of Youth first.

Weiss used magic to raise thick fog around the island. The poor visibility and the reefs in the sea would turn the island into a graveyard for ships.

Even if the British and Spanish found the island, they would not be able to land easily.

Even if they were lucky enough to come to the cave, Wes had planted large areas of dangerous magical plants such as devil's snares and carnivorous plants around the cave. Anyone who approached would become food for these plants.

Weiss then used the Confusion Charm, the Concealment Charm, and the Muggle-Repelling Charm to completely hide the cave.

After finishing everything, he returned to the Fountain of Youth with peace of mind to continue the next experiment.
