Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Death of Ladakh (Two in One)
Seeing that Lynn didn't move, Darac thought that he was facing this bloody corpse, and didn't know where to start, so he reminded him.
"Start with the organs and cut off the useless carrion......"
Lynn came back to his senses at this time, and began to dissect Ralph's corpse with a blank expression, the skin was a cold touch, and there were still some condensed ice crystals left on it, which should have been frozen before, no wonder it could be preserved intact until now.
Darak kept a close eye on Lynn's sword-wielding movements, reminding him from time to time, and ordering him to take out some organs that were not easy to preserve and dip them into a dark green liquid.
Lynn was vaguely aware that what she was doing might not be as simple as dissecting a corpse.
The unpacking work in the chamber lasted until five o'clock in the morning, and Lynn had to keep her spirits on guard against a possible attack on Darak, until she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she walked out of Ladakh's manor.
Shaping Potions Experiment, Faceless, Ralph...... Lynn thought to herself about what she had seen in the manor,
What is certain is that [Black Doctor] Darak is indeed related to [Faceless], and should be a core member of [Scarlet Thorn] as he suspected.
However, Lynn did not take the liberty of making a move, although there were only the two of them in that secret room, the sound insulation was very good, and it was very secretive, but Lynn always felt that something was wrong.
The only good news is that he has become Dalak's assistant very smoothly, which can provide a lot of convenience for his next actions......
For the next two days, Lynn continued her teaching assignment as an Olympian math professor in the morning, and spent the evening as Timis's assistant to Ladakh to listen to more information.
The rest of the time is spent in the library, specializing in shaping magic.
It wasn't until the third day that Lynn finally made up his mind, knowing that he couldn't wait any longer, because tomorrow night was the day the Faceless Ones would gather.
……
At night, inside the castle in Ladakh, Lynn drove into the secret chamber in the depths of the castle as usual.
However, today's secret room has changed a little compared to the past, the most obvious is the addition of a short and fat figure.
It was the apprentice who had been beaten up for the potion incident before, and at this moment he was tied to the top of an alchemy circle, with snot and tears left on the ground, and when he saw Lynn, it was more like grasping the last straw and shouting loudly.
"Please, help me plead, Timis...... I can't just die...... Do you remember? It was I who introduced you to Master Ladakh's apprenticeship......"
The short and fat wizard apprentice wept and pleaded bitterly, until he realized that Lynn didn't pay attention to his meaning at all, so he directly scolded, and his words became more and more vicious, if it weren't for Lynn, he wouldn't have fallen to where he is now.
Lynn just gave him an indifferent look and set her eyes on Ladakh.
In the past few days, he had discovered that the black physician rarely seemed to leave the underground fortress unless it was necessary.
"Feed him and drink it." Darak pulled out a cyan potion and handed it to Lynn, then burned the rest of the alchemy runes.
Lynn glanced at the alchemy formation at her feet, and after silently jotting it down, she grabbed the neck of the Humpty Dumpty apprentice and poured the potion down.
In just a few seconds, the effect of the medicine had already taken effect, and the hideous and distorted expression on the face of the short and fat apprentice slowly eased, and finally the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and a smile was revealed, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this strange scene, Lynn couldn't help but be a little frightened, and quickly withdrew from the coverage of the alchemy array.
At the same time, Darak had already burned the last rune, and then he laughed gloomily a few times, and recited the awkward incantation.
The body of the short and fat apprentice soon levitated, his mouth wide open, his body trembling constantly, and then a faint blue light gradually emerged.
No, Lynn soon discovered that it wasn't light, it was an illusory and transparent figure, surging like water waves......
This is...... Soul?
It was the first time Lynn had seen such a shocking sight, and he immediately understood why Ladakh had built such a secret laboratory, if the previous Shaping Potions experiment was just a marginal game, then specializing in psionic sorcery was really not tolerated in the land of wizards.
The azure spirit body was suspended in the center of the alchemy circle, staring at the two of them with a hateful and venomous gaze, and then let out a strange scream, slamming into the two of them.
At the moment when the scream rang out, Lynn felt as if something had hit her brain.
He had experienced this feeling before, that is, when the white dove used [Soul Scream] at the beginning, but this time the effect seemed to be much weaker, Lynn was only slightly affected, and then quickly took a few steps back, he didn't know what way to deal with the spirit.
Ladakh remained steady, and the alchemy circle on the ground suddenly lit up, and the spirit body that flew over seemed to have hit an invisible barrier, and no matter how much the illusory body surged, it could not leave this range.
Lynn noticed that the strange spirit was becoming more and more illusory.
Ladakh didn't delay too long, the soul of the wizard apprentice was too weak, and once it left the body, it would not be long before it completely dissipated......
Raising his hand, the resentful spirit seemed to be tightly bound by some kind of force, and then forced to pour into the halfling corpse placed on the test bed.
After about a dozen seconds, Ralph's corpse suddenly opened its eyes, stiffened itself from the test bench, slowly twisted its neck, looked around, and finally fixed its eyes on Lynn and Ladakh not far in front of the test bench.
Then "Ralph" showed an angry expression on his face, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but all he let out was a series of ugly roars, and his body was completely uncontrollable, and he fell to the ground without taking two steps.
"Waste ......"
Ladakh looked at the halfling who couldn't even walk smoothly with dissatisfaction, and spent so much energy, but this attempt failed.
The only use is to be refined into a ghoul.
Ladakh once again drove the Soul Trick, and Ralph's figure shuddered violently, and then spontaneously stepped aside like a puppet with a string, and finally lay down in an iron coffin in the secret chamber.
"You should have seen it all, Timmis?" Ladakh only then turned to look at Lynn and said with a gloomy smile. "May I give you another choice, are you still going to be my assistant?"
"Of course, Lord Ladakh ......" Lynn lowered his head, he knew very well that the so-called choice was no choice, seeing such a forbidden psionic experiment, either obey or die!
"Very well, come here." Ladakh was very satisfied with Lynn's performance in knowing current affairs, and said in a deep voice.
Lynn walked forward slowly, and soon walked in front of the other party.
Ladakh stretched out his hand, and he also needed to set a ban in Lynn's mind to prevent the other party from betraying him, and at this moment, a dangerous warning suddenly came to his heart.
However, by the time he sensed that something was wrong, it was too late, and Lynn raised his hand synchronously, and a stream of hot fire poured out from his palm, engulfing Ladakh's body in an instant.
"Ah——!h A terrible scream resounded throughout the secret room, and Ladakh's whole person was lit into a torch, and the fierce white phosphorus fire was like maggots on tarsal bones, constantly devouring his flesh and blood.
In the face of a strange psionic wizard, Lynn didn't even dare to have any intention of staying alive, and as soon as he made a move, he used all his strength to continuously enhance the power of the white phosphorus fire......
Ladakh's screams continued for a full minute, and then the whole person fell to the ground, almost charred......
Dead?
Lynn stopped casting the spell and looked at Ladakh, who was completely silent, but still didn't dare to let her guard down.
The whole secret room was silent, and the falling needles could be heard, and a few seconds later, in the closed secret room, an angry cry rang out out out of nowhere.
"You're not Timis ......" "Who the hell are you?"
Lynn's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, the worst he expected had happened, from the moment he saw Darak a few days ago, he sensed that the other party's state was very wrong, so he didn't make a move, but he didn't expect that this was actually a controlled ghoul.
Lynn's silence seemed to infuriate Darrak, and three of the coffins placed on either side of the chamber suddenly opened.
Three tall, strong, black-robed figures walked out of the coffin, each of them maintaining their original appearance, the difference was that their pupils had turned gray at this moment, their skin was blue-purple, and their bodies were filled with endless anger and tyranny.
【Multi-Flame Blast】
Two of the figures cast spells at the moment of recovery, and a series of tyrannical fireballs appeared in the void and flew towards Lynn.
The last man changed his body and turned into a hideous giant bear, and flew towards Lynn.
Lynn took a step back, dozens of [Magic Missiles] appeared around his body, colliding with the flying fireballs, the sound of violent explosions continued to echo in the secret room, and the rest of the [Magic Missiles] rushed towards the two people behind under the cover of smoke.
【Secondary - Magic Protection】
The two black-robed male wizards immediately cast spells to protect them, and several obstacles formed by magic power stopped in front of them, but the remaining [magic missiles] were all refueled, and they exploded in mid-air, and a large amount of orange-yellow liquid inside fell like raindrops.
This is exactly the high-imitation second-ring upper level magic - [High Temperature Steaming and Killing]
But the difference is that the inside of the magic missile is not chlorine, but the more corrosive aqua regia!
A large number of "raindrops" dripped on the robe and bare skin, and the long-lost wizard was unconscious, his body corroded into large holes, revealing the white bones of the forest, and when he walked, the whole person fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
At the same time, the hideous giant bear had already rushed in front of Lynn, and its sharp claws grabbed at his face, and it only took a few minutes closer to tear off the head!
Lynn took another step back, narrowly avoiding it, and her right hand was already holding the short sword hidden in the cuff.
【Cell Demonization】
For the first time, Lynn used the methods of the Shaping School, and a large amount of magic power poured into his right arm, and at the moment when the giant bear pounced on the action, the sharp blade was already unsheathed, slashing through the huge neck, and almost half of the head was cut off!
Blood sprayed, staining the ground red, and the giant bear let out a roar, and its massive body kept a forward posture and fell to the ground with a bang.
Lynn's right hand was constantly trembling, and although he gained strength beyond the norm with the help of magic power in a short period of time, it was also a great burden on his body.
However, a quick victory was also the only option, because this time a full five coffins were opened.
In view of Lynn's melee ability before, no one chooses melee combat, but unleashes witchcraft together.
Faced with the siege of several people, Lynn's response was to create more and stronger white phosphorus flames......
At this moment, most of the magic power in the body disappeared, and the energy reserves of the brain were also reduced by five percent, and then the surging infernal flames condensed into a demon god's hand, encompassing all kinds of flame explosions, ice arrows, and rows of coffins in the back.
With just one blow, the small half of the secret room turned into a sea of fire.
Lynn didn't intend to get caught up in an endless wheel war, and before the remaining coffins could be opened, more than a dozen white phosphorus fireballs resurfaced in the void and flew in all directions, ready to destroy all the coffins around them.
Invisible barriers of magic rose from the periphery, fending off some of the flying fireballs.
Lynn even noticed that the empty laboratory bench had also raised a strong barrier.
It's still a three-ring protection spell - [Magic Enchantment]!
Is there anything important about prioritizing the protection of this place?
Lynn immediately thought of the previous experiment, and a vague guess came to mind.
"What kind of fire is this?" At the same time, Ladakh's voice rang out again, but this time it was no longer an angry shout, and there was a hint of panic in his words.
Although most of the fireballs were blocked by the magic barrier, the flames were not extinguished, but attached to the barrier, and even tended to expand......
The remaining coffins in the chamber were finally no longer open, and Ladakh concentrated all his power in one place, and the giant statue erected in the chamber moved, the Golem made of Mithril was indestructible, wielding a long knife and a giant shield to slash at Lynn.
In the face of such a behemoth, Lynn knows very well that it may be difficult for both fire and ice to work, and his response is still [Magic-Barrage]!
Dozens of magic missiles were like a rain of sealed arrows, constantly hitting the huge golem, but like waves crashing on the reef, they could not cause the slightest impact.
At the moment when the golem knife fell, Lynn's fingers moved slightly, but one of the magic missiles deviated from the original line, accurately passing through the hole of the [Magic Enchantment] that was burned by the white phosphorus fire, and the target was the palm-sized azure gem located above the experimental table......
