Chapter 209

209 Incarnation

As Randy read through the new knowledge held within the third seal in the black tome, he stumbled upon a hidden spell technique that was part of the knowledge inscribed.

He decided to take a look, and unexpectedly, he found himself in a trance after glancing at the few words of the technique.

The state of mind was similar to when the system allowed him to comprehend the techniques using his knowledge points. However, unlike when he had to use the knowledge points, this method was him naturally finding himself in an enlightened state without the help of an external source.

Eventually, as he gradually comprehended the technique through observation, he understood what was going on. That left him completely engrossed when he discovered the image that looked exactly like him. He was infallibly confident that the figure established was identical to his true self.

How he understood and was even convinced of such a possibility was most likely through some incomprehensible wisdom that dawned on him as he continued to watch the mystical runes form a human figure and eventually coalesced into his physical form without any mistake.

The longer Randy watched on, the more knowledgeable he became about what was going on and the more shocked and amazed he became.

Randy tried to break out of this enlightened state after observing the entire process a few times. But for some reason, he did not want to do that, as if compelled or charmed by the technique.

He wondered if this was the doing of the arch sorcerer. But when he recalled that his system had already gotten rid of the restrictions, he calmed down and decided to accept the current situation as the spell technique itself did not seem harmful.

That was because, after reading the introduction, he found the name of the spell technique- Incarnation Technique.

.....

The description of this spell technique was creating a clone of sorts with the same appearance as the conjurer and using it to substitute the conjurer. The clone would also be permanent, unlike an ordinary clone. However, the clone cannot display the full power of the conjurer due to complications.

The arch sorcerer called this clone that would end up conjured- Incarnation.

They also stated that it was an incomplete technique since there were a few complications due to the clone lacking all the prowess of the conjurer. For that matter, the arch sorcerer seemed to have researched how to make the incarnation have the full capability of the conjurer without any side effects.

Based on the results of their research, it looked like they had succeeded in creating such a method. But it seemed to be omitted in the text of the technique and only vaguely attributed the result to the statement: ‘one’s origin essence power is needed to establish the proper natural laws of the physical body.’

According to the subsequent explanations, it would seem that without that ‘origin essence power’ of the conjurer, it would be extremely challenging to properly create an incarnation with the full might of the conjurer. Thus, it was impossible for anyone if they did not know what that ‘origin essence power’ was.

That would mean that if others got their hands on this technique, they would be unable to replicate the technique’s effects and would only be able to create a temporary existence- a clone or semi-incarnation through the technique rather than a permanent existence like the hypothesized complete incarnation.

But, despite that, it was still helpful to have the means to create an incarnation with some of the conjurer’s combat prowess. For instance, it could be employed for various problematic situations if the conjurer were in danger or merely needed it for something that would otherwise be bothersome for the conjurer to handle by themselves.

That was why, even though it was an incomplete spell technique without the necessary ‘origin essence power’ prerequisite stated in the technique, it was still a valuable technique.

Randy also realized this to be the case and decided to comprehend it and use it, if possible, to avoid any trouble that might come his way while he stayed in his current world.

Of course, he does not plan on causing trouble himself, but one cannot be so careful when dealing with things in an estranged place.

Just a while ago, he was attacked by a stray vampire when he came out of the dungeon of beasts. From that alone, one could tell that his current world was dangerous, and he could not afford to be nonchalant about such an encounter.

Although he could avoid the danger at that time, that might not necessarily be the case the next time if he were to run into someone much more powerful than that vampire man.

Thus, if possible, he wanted to use the incarnation spell technique to create a clone to scout his surroundings before coming out of the dungeon next time. That way, he could avoid trouble ahead of time.

Another thing to note was that even if the created incarnation were to die in battle, it might not affect him much; he could use it to deceive the enemy instead.

That was one of the reasons why Randy decided to ignore the unexpected trance and focus on comprehending the technique.

Just like that, he spent an unknown amount of time inside his mental space. This space was similar to when he witnessed the essence, application, and execution of his comprehended techniques using his knowledge points.

As such, he spent more time in that space than the time that went by on the outside.

Randy did not mind it too much as he was awed by the mystical runes that kept on constructing his body, which started from his bones, flesh, muscles, ligaments, skin, and eventually, his clothes.

This method of replicating everything about the conjurer did not seem as simple as it looked. After all, one would expect the incarnation to be made out of energy and not an actual flesh and blood entity, but that was far from the truth when it came to this Incarnation Technique.

Based on what Randy had observed thus far, the clone or the incarnation was just as the name implied, an embodiment of the conjurer, and they bare the semblance not only in appearance but in body essence.

What that meant was the flesh, blood, and even the bones of the conjurer would be replicated, and not just that, it would also be hard to tell the difference at a glance.

That left entranced Randy so much that he wondered how one could create such a complex and profound technique just by being unfathomably powerful. After all, this Incarnation Technique was something that could be said to be a godly technique.

To be able to create an actual body out of thin air, isn’t that the power of a god?

Randy shook his head to not wonder too much about the prowess of the arch sorcerer and decided to accept the technique.

At this point, he firmly hoped that the other party stayed dead; this way, he wouldn’t be threatened by them just in case they came to look for the ancient black tome.

Furthermore, since he was lucky enough to get his hands on the other party’s technique, he would make good use of it rather than wonder about how and why it was created or its origin.

Thus, after a few more observations, Randy finally grasped the essence of the technique and slowly opened his eyes. But he was still in a trance, almost as if he was still pondering about something.

Although he was still in a trance, he still moved his arms and took out some materials from the black ring on his finger. It was the spatial ring given to him by the challenger’s system after clearing the dungeon of beasts a few times. All the rewards he received now resided inside the black ring.

At this moment, Randy had taken out the magic cores that he received from the dungeon. As for the furs and fangs, with the help of Zophia, he had given some of those away.

Right now, he needed these magic cores that he had initially kept for research.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

He had initially planned on consuming them with his Myriad Energy Devouring Physique’s Devour ability, but that would have to wait for now.

According to what he learned from the Incarnation Technique, he needed to have the main five elemental essences that comprised the human body in order to create the incarnation’s body.

Naturally, there was another method, but this method was highly complex and needed the conjurer to manipulate the elements of nature themselves and combine them with a magic circle. This method was only feasible if one had reached a high level of strength and mastery in manipulating laws, as stated in the description of the technique.

Randy had no means of manipulating these so-called laws with his current level of strength.

Therefore, he decided to stick to the much easier and more feasible method instead, which relied on magic cores with traces of elemental essences within them. That was the rudimentary method of the Incarnation Technique.
