The Greatest Genius Alchemist of All Time Want to Retire

Episode 78: The Fifth Labyrinth: Forty Floors

"What is that..."

"... hey, it's too disgusting to scream..."

It was no demon that was ahead of me when I opened the forty layer door. There was nothing in the room. But the outer wall of the room... it was made of ice, but inside it... humans were packed tightly. The limbs, torso, and head are split nicely.

It is as if it were one art. But I never thought I should call this art.

A cruel object that was at the entrance. I'm sure that would have been brought here. And keep people frozen like this. But what's the point? How could this Fifth Labyrinth...

And I get to one truth. At the same time an integral dowel descends from nowhere from the ceiling.

"Huh!? People!?"

"No, it's Doyle. Stay back..."

"Yes......"

Lowering the aria backwards, the dole starts to clatter. This doll has long dark hair, and is also wearing clothes. Sure looks like a person at first glance. But my elemental eye, Decoding Site, reveals the world. That's not human. I can't feel the primary material Prima Materia, which should be present in people.

"Goal supplement. Begin action, Simas."

Somehow, in one word, he storms this way with a blade out of both wrists.

"... come"

When I pull out the thin feathers, I interrupt... and prepare for the attack to come. And each other's blades stagger, and the sound of kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii But that's not the end of the offense. The opponent has a sword in both hands. It's self-evident that you have more trouble than I do. Knowing its advantages, Doyle launches a series of attacks. Throat, chest, belly, everything. Attack for steeple. But there is no such thing as understanding.

As I calmly dealt with each and every one of them, the blade jumped out of the unlikely part of the next moment and wore it.

"Ugh......!

Slightly shifted neck. Yes, he flew his sword from his neck in the midst of this spear. Unexpectedly turning back in the arts that humans cannot, but managing to react. Even so, it would have been dangerous without the Elemental Eye "Decoding Site" right now. Doll does not have the primary material Prima Materia. So I thought it was something I couldn't sense, but that's actually different. This blade is snuggly creepy. This first material, Prima Materia, is probably human. I know it because I've come to dismantle dozens, hundreds of people. The number of people who have been killed by this blade.

Many human sacrifices make it easier to fight because I feel like I really don't have the water to spend, but I can't even say that right now.

I won't miss the gap I made by the slaughter I exchanged. I try to blush my feet and freeze them with alchemy......

"Alchemy sensing. Resist, Line Imus"

And the smelting team that I made up will be resisted.

I see...... doesn't alchemy work in semi-productive things? But if you try to make something more advanced, it takes time. If I did that, I wouldn't be torn apart either. I'm not very good here, but do I have to push it off with a sword trident by melee......

With that in mind, we exchange fierce swordspears, but our opponents respond quite well. Rather than... I was going to be less able to follow. The strengthening of the body has already been raised to its limits. The reaction rate is also increased indefinitely by the Elemental Eye "Decoding Site". And yet this doll, instead of responding to everything, is going to surpass it.

"... Kuh!!

A blade sweeps slightly on the cheek. I felt uncomfortable when I felt the blood flowing from my cheeks to my toes.

"... poison!!?

I immediately activated the anti-matter "Antimaterial" code to match the standard to the poison that was misplaced from my cheek.

Antimatter Code: Reverse

Substance Material = Anti-Material Code

Substance Materials: Reverse = Prima Materials, the first material

Then, the poison that comes in returns its presence to the primary material PrimaMateria. But I can't solve it. You could have made the current attack an instant poison. Still, I should have managed to deal with it with the anti-matter "antimaterial" code, but still I don't see why you're planting poison on that blade that just paralyzes the nerves.

I had an intuition that the conclusion I had led earlier from there might be generally correct.

Human being embedded in the surrounding ice wall. And instead of killing it, Doyle uses paralytic poison.

The answer to be derived is… Perhaps this doll is intended to secure man alive. And the power source of this homunculus is probably... using a full copy of the living human brain as it is.

I've thought about a full copy of the human brain, Copy. But it stopped because of something. That's because we need to dissect the human brain alive. If you die, its freshness falls rapidly. A man's brain is useless. That's why an autopsy that stays alive becomes imperative. I explored other ways to achieve completely independent artificial intelligence by means of copies of Qualia, not copies of the brain. However, it is still difficult to say that this approach is complete simply because it reproduces some of the brain functions. But this doll is probably true and complete.

Complete homunculus. But the truth is, it was no longer obvious that we were using a large number of human brains. Doyle was born after an inhumane experiment. Probably just a doll to carry out orders, but I can't forbid sympathy.

How could you do this... With that in mind, the situation never improves. All I can do is kill this doll...

Am I ready to kill people? Yeah, I've been asking myself that all along. But this one gets killed even if he's lost in a situation where he has to. If... we have to do it. That's analogy, no matter how cruel......

"At least sleep in peace..."

And I snapped Doyle's neck. No matter how artificial intelligence, it's not perfect yet. There is speed, but the attack pattern was monotonous, with a few gaps, and the neck was never wrapped like this.

The twirling, flying neck kept gobbling and rolling down the ground and... completely shut down function. Let the torso also collapse and fall on the spot.

"Oh, are you done?

"Oh, it's over."

That's what I say. I put the thin feathers back in the sheath. That was surprising. That's what I thought. But for a moment, I felt a slight swing in the first material, PrimaMateria.

"Ariah!!! Danger!!!

"Huh?"

The rolling torso was still moving. I was completely alarmed. It's a doll, so if you cut off your neck, it doesn't mean it's over. Of course, it's true that I was going to confirm but I was alarmed. And the ferocious blade by Doyle... ripped clean from Aria's right shoulder down.

Aria's right arm flying into space. It creeps through the universe and falls straight to the ground.

I freeze the torso of the doll and freeze it again where it appears to be the source of power that was in the heart. This should have stopped completely. But now I have to treat Aria first.

But the sight I saw ahead of me... was roughly unthinkable.

"Aria... you... it..."

"Such a thing..."

If it's cut, it'll bleed. It's pretty obvious. It's a natural fact if you're human. But... not a drop of blood was overflowing from Aria's right arm.

Looking at the cutting surface, I've seen it more than once before... a bunch of the same wiring as the Doll.

"Oh no... I don't mean this..."

Aria looks at the amputated surface of her amputated arm and trembles.

"Yes, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!"

Crying.

And the next moment, something even more incredible happened.
