My dear witch, please turn evil according to the script!

Chapter 272 The project is now complete.

The change happened very suddenly. Roland didn't even understand what was happening to him before he heard Russell's shout.

At this moment, he was still within the pillar of light formed by the power of the World Tree. Instead of exploding, the gentle power made Roland feel that his broken state had been repaired to some extent.

There was even a faint, comfortable warmth emanating from my limbs and bones.

A slight drowsiness crept into my heart.

If Russell hadn't reminded me in time, I probably would have unknowingly become engrossed in it.
Of course, after realizing the anomaly, Roland focused his attention.

His strong mental fortitude allowed him to easily overcome the weariness and ignore the comforting warmth.

He turned to Russell and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"I want to ask you the same thing! What exactly did you do? Why did Da Yuan's magic suddenly surge?"

"Forget it, we can ask about these things later! Right now, all you need to know is that the magic circuits, which were originally just models, are now solidifying under the influence of magic!"

"And the runes you previously inscribed on it have become marks, the symbols of the solidified magic circuits 'seeking their master'!"

"You have two pieces of good news and two pieces of bad news."

"The first piece of good news is that because the circuit was formed by the direct flow of the Great Source of Magic, its strength and performance will far exceed those of circuits I made manually. Your ingenious ideas will be enhanced to a certain extent."

"The second piece of good news is that because the circuit is formed by the large source, your fusion process should be very smooth and not greatly affected. It is even possible that the fusion will be completely completed within one minute after implantation."

"Okay, now for the bad news!"

While busy working, Russell directed Kalia to fetch him tools, and began adjusting the gradually forming magic circuit, attempting one last optimization.

"The first piece of bad news is that, also because it is formed directly from the Great Source, after the magic circuit is formed, the rune sets you previously set will have to be re-engraved due to the erosion of magic power. You will also have to add your new set of runes. You only have one chance. You know very well the cost of failure, so I don't need to say more."

"Death. If you fail, you will die!"

"Therefore, you must be extremely careful during the engraving process! Even if you can't achieve all your plans, safety must be the top priority! I don't want your girlfriend to see you die in front of her!"

"And I'm counting on you to cling to my coattails and live a life of luxury, with no worries about funding! You absolutely mustn't die!!!"

"The second piece of bad news is that while your integration process may seem very smooth, the implantation itself will become extremely difficult."

"However, there is some good news that is not entirely good news: I can assist in this process, so the risk is relatively small."

"However, your body may experience pain far exceeding expectations during this period. You must endure it and not waver or have any thoughts of giving up, otherwise..."

Roland smiled. "Otherwise, it's failure, right? I'm already clear about the outcome and the cost. Please begin, Professor Russell."

You'd better understand!

Russell didn't say much. In that short time, she used her hand speed, honed over hundreds of years, to successfully make the final adjustments to the magic circuit that was about to take shape!

The project is now complete!
Let's wait for a miracle to happen!

Russell's eyes were filled with both tension and excitement. As a teacher, she was worried about whether her student Roland could safely complete the implantation of the magic circuit under the unexpected circumstances.

After all, all of this happened far too fast.

According to her plan, they should have attempted to anchor the constellations at night, and then spent at least two days adjusting the procedure to ensure that the implantation was 100% safe.

But now, everything is happening too fast.

Roland used a mysterious power, a mysterious rune beyond her comprehension, to complete the anchoring process.

However, this action also caused a riot in the Great Source of Magic.

And the anomaly of day turning into night in an instant.

Russell couldn't guarantee how widespread the phenomenon was, but she was certain that the Blood Lord had seen the towering green pillar of light.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should already be on his way...

"Damn it!"

Russell spat. These things just had to happen all at once!
If I don't stay here, Roland's implantation ceremony will inevitably be fraught with difficulties.

Even though Roland had shown her incredible talent these past few days, she still dared not let him perform the implantation ceremony alone.

However, if he doesn't stop the Blood Demon Lord, the experiment will also fail.

“Master Russell, you stay here and help Roland... I’ll go deal with any enemies that might come.”

Kalia left those words behind and then vanished from the laboratory in stealth.

They didn't even give Russell a moment to speak.

Just as Russell was about to go after Kalia, Roland spoke up: "Teacher, go help Lia. I can manage on my own."

"What nonsense are you spouting! You think you're so great? This isn't an experiment! This is a real-world battle! Failure means death, do you even understand that?!"

Seeing Russell's exasperation, Roland laughed. The magic circuits had begun to merge into his body, and a subtle, distorted expression began to appear on his originally calm and composed face.

“I understand... but in terms of security, your option to maximize safety is to intercept any potential enemies.”

"Don't worry... I'm confident that even if I die, I have a backup plan to revive."

"If I really fail, tell Kalia that I'll be waiting for her at the Royal Magic Academy. Don't panic."

After saying that, Roland closed his eyes completely and began the implantation process.

The inscription of runes, the fusion of bodies.

On one hand, one needs to concentrate on inscribing runes, and on the other hand, one needs to endure unimaginable pain...

"Damn it! You better not die! Just you wait! So what if you're the ruler of the royal court? I've crippled a couple of you back in the day!"

Russell instantly switched to a fighting stance.

The white coat, a symbol of scholars, suddenly swelled up.

Russell, who was originally only about 1.56 meters tall, instantly swelled to 1.8 meters. Although her figure remained graceful and slender, she was now exuding a powerful fighting spirit.

She put on a pair of specially made alloy boxing gloves and then dashed out of the laboratory.

Sure enough, the moment she rushed out of the laboratory, she sensed the aura of that repulsive blood demonic power.

"Hey! You scoundrel! Take this punch!"

"Destroy the world!"

……

Roland's consciousness was completely contained.

Thanks to the power of the innate spell, Roland was able to completely concentrate his attention.

He had no time to care about what was happening in the outside world.

At this critical juncture, he had no choice but to believe.

Choose to believe in Kalia and the Demon King, and believe that Russell, this old man who has lived for hundreds of years, has enough trump cards.

Even if we can't win, at least we can stall until reinforcements arrive.

This place isn't far from Isfar, and Kalia, unsurprisingly, sent a rescue message immediately.

If everything goes smoothly and I can hold on for a short while, Lady Flam will arrive with her heavenly soldiers to save me from this predicament.

What I need to do now is to complete my rune inscription as soon as possible.

After his attempt to anchor the stars was successful, Roland realized that another of his fantasies had been realized.

He has already stepped into the realm of time, even if it was just a coincidence.

However, it seems he still faces a challenge.

pain!

There was a time when Roland thought he could ignore most of his pain.

Until three seconds ago.

The sensory experience was like taking apart every detail of Roland's organs, putting them back together, tearing them apart again, and then healing them—a process that nearly drove Roland to the brink of collapse.

In other words, his powerful mental strength allowed him to forcibly block out the pain system of his body, leaving only the unavoidable pain in his soul.

Fortunately, his mental power is strong enough to inscribe runes in place of his hands and carving knife.

Otherwise, the physiological spasms caused by intense physical pain alone would be enough to destroy the rune inscription process.

Even with the 100% success rate of the Rune King, there are requirements; you must be able to carve at least one complete rune.

"call……"

"Physical enhancement... magical amplification... and magical flow speed control runes... complete!"

"As expected, his performance was affected... Fortunately, it's still within a manageable range."

"Two-thirds of the area, the two most crucial runes, we absolutely have to succeed!"

As the carving knife, formed from psychic power, inscribed on the magic circuits that were not yet fully integrated into Roland's body, success seemed to be just around the corner.

Each stroke, each character.

Previous repeated experiments have enabled Roland to draw complete rune sets even with his eyes closed.

Relying on his experience and memory, Roland narrowly and extremely compressed the size of the rune set of the Wind King's Barrier to the limit, leaving a full half space for the most crucial time spell runes.

The runes of the World Tree were still easy to inscribe, and as the main runes were inscribed, the auxiliary rune sets were also inscribed one by one in an orderly manner.

A strange feeling spread through Roland's senses.

Da Yuan... seems to be helping him perfect the last rune? And he even engraved it on himself while he was at it?
It may sound bizarre, but from Roland's perspective, this is exactly the kind of incomprehensible miracle that is happening.

Just as Roland felt a moment of mental confusion, his consciousness detached from his body and began to rise rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, we arrived in the starry sky.

Under a sky full of dazzling starlight, a dilapidated temple and an unimaginable giant tree appeared one after another. Finally, when Roland's consciousness stopped rising, he was already standing by a lake.

For the first time, the scene from Roland's dream appeared before his eyes.

From a realistic perspective.

Before Roland could investigate, a terrifying suction force pulled him back into his body.

"boom!"

A violent surge of magical energy emanated from Roland's body.

Feeling his body noticeably strengthened, the rune inscription on the magic circuit was complete!
Now, this is the final step!
The magic circuit has been officially implanted!
Roland took a deep breath, enduring the intense pain, and recited the incantation Russell had taught him, guiding the magic to begin operating according to the proper steps and paths.

"Permafrost reshapes the bone structure, and blood springs cleanse festering sores..."

"Neurological forging of star marks, a gentle breeze calling for new life!"

“Traversing the thirteenth, twenty-third, and thirty-second paths.”

"Let the wandering souls return to the Temple of Beauty."

"To elevate the mutilated body into a living icon—"

"As those above, so those below!"
