"Hi-hi, no, don't kill me! Don't kill me. Hey, hey!
The boy entered the scene.
He's looking up at me, rattling and trembling.
"Then tell me where he is. And..."
I pointed to Yurin.
"and how to lift the spell he put on this guy."
"Subject 372……!?"
Crushing boy.
"It looks like you're under the spell of 'Scent of Darkness'. Is there any way to solve this?
I decided to ask from this side first.
"I don't know... I don't know"
The boy shook his head left and right as he trembled.
"Are you not going to tell me,"
I sighed instead of a slight threat.
"Ho, I really don't know! Believe me! Please, don't kill me. No, no, no!
The boy almost sued for tears in his eyes.
This way, apparently, he doesn't really know.
"It's just... Valerie manages everything regarding the results of the spell research, so if you look at it or..."
"Where is that recording orb?
Typically, the results of magic studies are stored in orbs where high-density information can be recorded.
Maybe Valerie is doing the same.
"Huh...!
The boy's face paled.
Magic research results equate to the highest confidentiality for wizards.
Valerie, the best wizard in the world, has immeasurable value.
Oh, come on. I can't even tell you where it's stored.
Say it.
I took half a step.
Just a little closer, and this guy disappears.
"Yes..."
The boy slurred his throat and nodded.
"It's the bottom tier of the lab. Down the central stairs, toward the back, in the second room, where we call the Sage Zone."
So, suppose we go there and look for a way to lift the spell of Yurin?
"All right, back to the first question."
I messed up my jaw.
"Spit out where he is."
"Dear Valerie is in the midst of ritual magic... with the study of new rituals..."
And, boy.
"As always, are you even researching ill tasted spells that require sacrifice?
"Yes, the heart of seven virgins in the neighborhood and the genitals of ten virgins in the offering..."
... Shit, that was information you didn't even need to ask.
"Where are you performing ritual magic?
"It's the lowest level of the basement… it's the room beyond the two" Sage compartments "I mentioned earlier… dedicated to rituals…"
"Okay."
If we ask that far, we'll find him later.
"Then die"
I took a step forward.
The distance from him is 11 meters.
It's a metre to range.
"What, the promise is wrong..."
The boy turned into a stunned face.
I looked at this guy cold.
"I'm guessing you've taken the lives of a number of subjects before, right? Did you think you'd be forgiven now?"
There is no room for sympathy.
I have no reason to forgive you.
"Because those are mediocre villagers like everywhere!? We are tens of thousands, one in hundreds of thousands magical geniuses - even though we are chosen people!
Boy screaming.
"Please, don't kill me! I'm a special person! You can't die here!
He's who he is everywhere.
To the bone marrow... you look just like Master.
I took a step further.
"Wow, I don't want to die! Don't want to die... ghhhhhhh..."
With the Terminator, the boy lifted up his bloodshed and fell, eventually vanishing.
"Kid, it's gone... the Valerie disciples who were so horrible..."
Yurin twinkles with a stunned face.
"Doesn't matter who comes out"
I told Yulin.
"All you have to do is turn it all off"
We went further.
Go down the basement stairs and eventually reach the lowest level.
There were several traps in the meantime, but they all kicked in with my [fixed damage] and Shea's [cutting] and [acceleration].
and several wizards emerged from the front.
"We won't let you through here, intruder!
"You know this is Valerie's lab!
"I will discuss you for my dear Valerie!
Oh, man, these guys look like Valerie's mistresses, too.
It's time for a beautiful boy with thin lines.
... Valerie's full hobby.
Even so, he shouldn't be the kind of man who takes disciples just because of his hobby.
Probably all of them on the same level of strength as the two just now.
Even if I can't do harm to myself, Shea and Yurin are dangerous if they get out of the [fixed damage] skill range.
"Don't leave, both of you"
I sent them instructions once again.
"I am one of Valerie's disciples, Myka. Oh, who are you...?
There was a beautiful boy at the rear of the line.
She looks like a poor girl with her light peach hair cut off by her shoulder.
At least you're not Valerie's friend.
I snarled my nose at "Apprentice."
"I'm here for your master."
I won't give you back your name, I'll just tell you what to do.
"... that doesn't sound like a peaceful business."
"I've already wiped out two of your people. There can't be a peaceful errand."
I feel something where hostility and hatred boil down as I say it.
Nothing, I have no personal grudges against Myka.
Well, like the two disciples earlier, they would be repeating outrageous experiments, so there's no reason to keep them alive.
"Oh, that one's a great wizard. We have developed many surgical formulas and are sure to make a significant contribution to the progress of the world's magical civilization!
"Do you want me to repeat the human experiment?
"Well, that's... a noble sacrifice for the world..."
"It's selfish logic."
"More than that number of humans will be saved. This is the pain you need for the world!
Myka theorizing.
"I respect that one from the bottom of my heart! I believe that one, I'll follow him everywhere! And one day, he will succeed him."
It was just like blind faith.
"I guess it's because you're Valerie's mistress. Love, not respect? Is that a desire? Or a plan?
"Huh...! Oh, someone named you..."
Myka's face became red.
Did they poke you in the pain or touched the part you didn't want to be touched?
"Enough! You're here to do harm to Master Valerie, evil intruder! I see that very well!
"Hey, it's time to clean up"
"Be careful. He has a strange way of erasing magic."
The disciples set up their canes in a vigilant manner.
"... I see you were watching the earlier battle on a demon video feed or something"
Well, it doesn't matter where they see it.
All I have to do is turn it off.
The attack, these guys... put it together.
─ ─ The battle was a shame.
The falling flaming sword, the thunderbolt spear, the ice arrow, the wind axe...
As soon as you reach my ten meter zone, it will disappear.
It doesn't matter what attribute or how powerful it is.
I kept moving forward slowly in advance of the imminent attack magic group.
On its left and right, Shea and Yurin line up.
Eventually, the disciples who entered the range disappear, as did the magic they unleashed.
One, another......
"Hih, hih... I can't...!
The last one - Myka screamed and ran away.
"Do you want to chase, Master Chrome?
Shea asked.
Her [acceleration] would catch up.
"─ No, leave me alone"
I don't dare to chase you.
I have some business I want to clean up first.
Revenge for Valerie, of course, but I just want to find out how to un-curse Lillin.
We went straight ahead.
As taught by the first disciple I met, I go from the central staircase towards the back to the second room.
"Sage compartment".
A place where many of Valerie's magic research results are stored.
The door was tightly closed.
"Shea."
"Yes, Master Chrome"
Shea's sword emits a black glow, which cleaves as she eases multiple magically defended doors.
"We're gonna open it."
We stepped indoors...
