Chapter 365 - The Key And The Success
"N-No, please, I-I submit," As Desmond arrived and stood in front of the beast, the beast already on the ground, lowering its head and bent its huge body at him.
The beast did not even dare to raise its head, meekly lay on the ground without any resistance and completely displaying an opposite attitude when compared to before.
Desmond then swept his hand after looking at the beast's attitude, causing the metal spikes that pierced its body to vanish into thin air. He began to observe the beast again for a moment and then pondered,
Open the beast's status window, he muttered inwardly and commanded the system. Soon the transparent screen showed up on his view with the detailed information about the beast, however he noticed the 'transformed' word was still attached behind Felix's name.
"Where is Felix?" Desmond asked. He did not care or could be said already guessed why the beast was suddenly willing to submit at him. Previously, his blood had been rampaging ever since the beast intimidated him.
Desmond could hear several roars coming out deep from inside of his body, shouting at the beast with a high piercing sound, yet upon seeing the beast could not hear its sound, the roar became louder each time passed until it finally pierced the beast's ears.
"Speak," Desmond's tone became colder as the beast did not answer his question. He looked down and noticed those fins were trembling, with many reflections of his image were seen on the green scales, dazzling under the light from the tower.
On the other hand, the beast racked its brain to think. Its body and brain slowly lose control over time, facing the pressure emitted from Desmond's body.
If the pressure grows stronger, its body might be crushed, or the worst scenario was losing the ability to think, becoming a normal beast without intelligence.
"Y-yes my king," the beast meekly replied in a weak tone with many thoughts flashed on its mind. Who? What does he mean? Did he mean the previous owner of this body?
The beast could not understand who the person Desmond referred was; however, its anxiety increased when the beast felt the latter was likely what he meant.
The beast had no way to contact or know the previous consciousness as it easily occupied the body without any resistance. Like a hatchling born from the egg, the beast just opened its eyes and found Desmond as a prey, not knowing what, where and how it was born.
"I-I don't know, my king," The beast replied and tried its best to look honest. There was a strange force that kept forcing its mind to tell the truth with a strong pressure that kept pressing on its body every time Desmond spoke or when facing him.
However if the beast tried to resist, the more it tried to resist, the more it felt the pressure, and the strange force would slowly occupy and control its brain and body.
At the same time, the way the beast thought about Desmond was forcefully changed as if something had influenced its mind. Previously, its mind was filled with killing and eating the human before it, yet it slowly changed into serving and pleasing.
Meanwhile upon hearing the beast's answer, Desmond's eyebrows furrowed deeper. His body emitted a greater pressure mixed with the natural energy and aimed at the beast.
"Are you sure about that? Aren't you the one who killed my subordinate?" As Desmond spoke, he stepped on the beast's head. Slowly pressing down his feet, that crushing the beast's head until it groans in pain and green blood flow from it.
"P-please s-spare me, my king!" the beast shouted in panic. It kept using human language to beg at Desmond, however no matter how many times it begged, Desmond kept crushing its head!
At the same time, the system began scanning the beast's body as Desmond commanded. Many transparent screens popped out and vanished simultaneously in the process.
Although the beast was being crushed, Desmond did not even flinch as he already noticed some crushed green scales and blood that were scattered around were rushing back to the main body like a puzzle, those scales and blood were reattached back, restoring the injured part like that was nothing happened before.
The regeneration of this beast amazed him which also made him unleash his full power without holding back.

]
Ohh? When Desmond noticed the percentage of the awakened process had been decreasing at a fast rate, he knew this might be the clue and the key point about Felix's transformation.
He looked at the beast and found it already quiet, not even moving or breathing. He also noticed the green scales on its body were slowly sinking into the skin like a rock sink amid the river.
Desmond slowly steps off his feet causing the beast's body to shrink from 3m(9.84 ft) tall into 1,8m(5.90ft). The tail and the fins had long vanished, while he found some parts were slowly re-growing back human legs and hands.
The process was so magical causing Desmond to be awestruck. He stared at changes in the beast's body for a moment before withdrawing his gazes when the changes had finished and turned into Felix who lied on the ground without clothes.
From the outside, Felix's body looked fine, however Desmond was not completely sure about his internal organs, after all he had already crushed the beast's head and mouth, what if Felix suddenly became dumb because of that?
System checks his body and immediately reports an abnormality, Desmond immediately commanded the system.
A new transparent screen popped out, sweeping the rest of the screen as the new screen told everything about Felix.
[System Conclusion: No injuries are found, however the target body was exhausted because of the transformation process]
After reading the system conclusion, it seems his experiment was succeeded, only had the main problem with consciousness.
"The only obstacle is the beast's consciousness. I don't know how another personality was created during the process, but in the end, the experiment is still a success," As he muttered, his lip curled up, showing a faint smile.
Desmond then controlled his energy to manipulate the room, repairing the ceiling, the floor, the wall while also tidying up the cauldrons.
Suddenly when he moved the cauldron, he noticed a barrier that looked made of ice crystal in the corner of his room.
"B-brother, is he okay?" Alice was squatting in the corner while hugging her body using her arms. She has witnessed the entire process and was now asked in a shaky voice.
"Yes, he just exhausted after that," Desmond replied in concern. Soon after he spoke, the ice barrier instantly destroyed, turned into many white particles, and disappeared as Alice suddenly jumped and hugged him.
"I see. I'm glad you are fine too," After checking and sensing her little brother's condition, she exhaled a breath and faintly smiled before closing her eyes.
"She must be too shocked by the transformation," Sensing the tremble on his elder sister's body, Desmond shook his head in amused.
It seems his sister has been holding back her scream from the looks, afraid to disturb the experiment. Well, he already told her in advance, but who knows her stubbornness finally taught her a lesson.
After calling the maids and the men to bring Felix and his sister back to their houses, Desmond now sat in the same room, with many glass tubes filled with green and red blood lined up on his view.
"Now it's the time for me to check the effects," Previously, Desmond had already extracted Felix's blood. He also secretly trapped the green liquid blood when Felix was in beast form.
After Felix transformed into a beast form, his body and blood changed into a green liquid that occasionally moved on its own, trying to get back to the main body.
