Section 449 The X Nature of Ascending X (14)
"Failed to cast psychic magic, suffered a backlash." The apprentice turned to Hughes and said. "That's how it should be.... After the spell failed, his subordinates tried to save Mr. Harrison, but they couldn't, and many defensive spells, even 'delayed damage', failed to save him, and in an instant, Mr. Harrison turned into a pile of ashes. ”
"It's... How is this possible? Tristan's voice was full of surprise. He... His magic level is also one of the strongest among us! He easily killed most of the Morris family's soldiers without any injuries! ”
"It's hard to imagine that he will lose to a small team of the Lucier family.... Haven't those people been defeated by Professor Hallwick before? ”
"This, perhaps, is why Professor Hallwick doesn't use psychic magic." Hughes said. "It's powerful, yes. But the risks are just as great. ”
"yes...."Tristan's hand bones trembled, and he hugged his skull. Toby betrayed, Joey was seriously injured, and Harrison died.... This battle...."
"In that case, why doesn't Mr. Professor seal this magic away.... Rather, let others use it? Hughes lowered his head and whispered.
After that, he looked at Tristan. "And of course. What you should do now is to avenge your friends. ”
"yes, revenge..."
Tristan put his hand down--- his body still trembling.
"Revenge must be taken," he said reluctantly. For my friends...."
"You're afraid you'll be next?" Hughes asked suddenly.
"No... Nonsense... How could I..."
As he spoke, his voice getting lower and lower. After that, the head was also lowered.
"Past experiments may also die." Hughes asked. "It's just another experiment, what's there to be afraid of?"
"yes.... Nothing to be afraid of... It's just an experiment...."
Tristan shuddered for a while, and finally regained his composure. After that, he looked at the mage who was making a report.
"What about the men Harrison brought with him? How are they? ”
"Most of them are back." The mage reported. "They didn't continue to attack after Mr. Harrison's accident."
"Why don't they continue to attack?" Hughes asked. "Is there an explanation?"
"They said that Harrison had asked them to release some kind of magic, which basically depleted their magic." The mage said. "It seems to be to assist in the casting of psychic magic.... They said there was no way to continue fighting. ”
"So...," Hughes groaned. Is the Lucille army still in place? ”
"Most of them are still in place, but some have left." The mage reported. "It seems like I'm rushing to support everywhere. After the Duran family was defeated..."
"The Duran family.... Christian beat them? Hughes asked again.
"No," said the mage. Before Mr. Christian arrived, John... Mr. John has defeated the forces of the Duran family. ”
"Him?" Hughes was surprised. "Isn't there only three of them?"
"Yes." The mage said. "They went to three people... However, it seems that Mr. John himself defeated the soldiers of the Duran family. ”
"Himself?" Hughes was taken aback. "Impossible."
"This is just preliminary news." The mage said. "It's still being confirmed... So I didn't report it immediately. ”
"I think it's a magic bomb as a trap." Tristan said. "The soldiers of the Duran family are not known for their combat effectiveness, but it is not something that John can kill all of them alone."
His voice had been restored. However, when something like this happens again, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll still fall into trembling and panic.
Yuan Sen had seen something similar. Hughes looked at him, as if he had this doubt. After that, he asked a simple question. "Are we still going as planned?"
"Hmm." Tristan looked at him. "Of course... Do you have a better idea? ”
"No, there isn't." Hughes said. "But, you're okay, you won't be in a fight, something will happen."
"What will happen to me?" Tristan snorted. "It was just a moment of excitement!"
"You go out first." Hughes said to the mage who was reporting on the side. "I'll confirm the previous ones, and report if there's any new information."
The mage nodded and walked out. Hughes then looked back at Tristan.
"If that sword of punishment appears in front of you, you'll be even more excited. Otherwise, you stay here and I'll take someone with me. ”
"You.. What do you mean? Tristan looked at the other man.
"It doesn't mean anything else, my friend feels uncomfortable when something happens, nothing abnormal." Hughes said. "However, if they discover your fears during the battle with the Lucilles, they may focus their forces on you. For safety and victory... It's better for you to stay. ”
"I'm not afraid!" Tristan roared loudly, grabbed the document next to him, and threw it at Hughes.
Hughes didn't dodge and let the manuscripts fall on him. After that, he didn't say anything more, and the two hollows in his skull stared at Tristan silently.
Tristan first looked at him, and after a few moments he lowered his head, clasped his skull in both hands, and trembled again.
"No big deal." Tristan lowered his head, and Hughes spoke. "I've had friends who failed experiments and were completely destroyed. It was a very simple experiment, and we didn't expect that to happen...."
"After he died, I was also very uncomfortable for a long time. But life always goes on. If you don't want to keep it this way, you'll have to keep experimenting to get more magic and find a solution to your problem..."
Tristan was still shaking.
"You've been with Professor Harwick during the experiments, so they've been going well for a long time--- and if they fail, there have been very few casualties. So, this time, I felt very uncomfortable when I saw that my usual companions and friends had an accident.... It's natural. ”
"It's better to find out now than to find it again in the experimental field. Like I said before, if the Lucilles' family attacks you because they find out about your anomaly... If you are killed again, the chances of losing the battle are even higher..."
"Nope." Tristan spoke, his voice faint. "In that case, I can't explain it to the teacher."
"This.... As long as you make the situation clear, Professor Hallwick won't force you to conduct an experiment. Hughes wondered.
