“Stop!”
Radak was completely panicked, and imdiately gathered all his power back, causing the massive golem to halt its movent. Then, a sharp sonic wave kept resonating within the sealed laboratory.
The Magic Missiles, which were very close by, seed to be impacted severely, and soon exploded loudly.
However, Radak felt no joy, for as the magic-constructed shell shattered, the intensely hot White Phosphorus Fire inside burst forth, quickly spreading to a sky-blue gem.
What was originally a sharp “Soul Scream” infused with magic power, soon turned into a painful wail…
The remaining dozen caskets in the chamber began to tremble violently.
Lynn already had a Fireball Technique pinched in his hand, accompanied by the sound of the gem shattering. A transparent vengeful spirit appeared in the chamber, its face ferocious and twisted, as if bearing countless pains and resentnts.
Perhaps because its carrying object shattered, the spirit, severely damaged, appeared much more ethereal, even less substantial than the Wizard’s Apprentice. The air dium felt as sharp as myriad keen daggers, constantly depleting the little power Radak had left.
The screeching and wailing continued for a whole half-minute before it abruptly ended. The ethereal spiritual body quickly disintegrated in front of Lynn…
Lynn finally erged from the influence of the “Soul Scream.” He knew he had guessed correctly, since all those who were controlled were Corpse Ghosts, Radak must have stored the souls sowhere else.
Sothing akin to a Lich’s Life Box.
And his chosen target was the sky-blue gem used as a spotlight on the experint table.
It must be said Radak had quite a wicked sense of humor, using his own soul for illumination.
If it weren’t for the highly intense magic reaction he noticed during the experints, he might never have thought of this thing.
Under Lynn’s control, the fierce White Phosphorus Fire in the chamber gradually extinguished, leaving only ruins behind. Hundreds of caskets had been burned up, the only things remaining intact being the Mithril-made golem and the pile of magic books filling the entire bookshelf behind the experint table.
“Biological Materials and Spiritual Substances,” “Spiritual Magic Explained,” “Advanced Potion Making…”
Lynn scanned the bookshelf, which, apart from a large number of books about spiritual energy and magic potions, also contained many research notes.
However, he didn’t have the leisure to browse them or even tidy up the chaotic chamber, as he used Shaping Magic to transform himself into Radak’s appearance and walked out of the chamber through the main door.
At this mont, the castle was in complete disarray, a situation Lynn wasn’t surprised by.
To avoid interference while dealing with Radak, Lynn, taking advantage of his assistant’s identity, had tampered with the place where those rejects were held.
By his estimate, it should have taken effect by now.
However, the castle’s guards were sowhat more formidable than he had anticipated. By the ti Lynn reached the foyer, several rioting rejects had already been subdued.
“Lord Radak… Subjects no. 12, 27, and 32 have suddenly broken out of their cages, casualties are still being counted. The cause has not been identified yet.”
Upon seeing Lynn’s figure, Coleman and others imdiately knelt down, trembling as they made their report.
The outbreak in the experint subjects this ti was extrely baffling, and nobody could be pinpointed to take the bla, leaving everyone deeply worried that Radak might pour his fury onto them.
Lynn swept his gaze over Coleman with a voice that seed to suppress anger, “It was Timis! He’s Nordland’s Magic Workshop’s internal operative, trying to steal an important research outco…”
Although Lynn did not explicitly state what would be done with ‘Timis,’ everyone could guess that ‘Timis”s fate would be terribly horrific.
“I knew there was sothing off about Timis…” Bock shouted with fervor.
Since Timis had beco an assistant through his research achievents previously, Bock had harbored a grudge, believing he had also contributed significantly to that experint but had his accomplishnts completely stolen by the other.
Now, hearing that Timis had t with misfortune, a twisted sense of pleasure inevitably rose in Bock’s heart.
However, as soon as he saw Lynn’s sweeping gaze, Bock’s exhilarated expression imdiately ceased, realizing that it was this lord himself who had approved Timis’s appointnt as an assistant.
Fortunately, Lynn did not heed his words but instead turned to look at Coleman and spoke again, “Coleman, continue to investigate for . No one can be overlooked; I want to see how many rats are still in this castle!”
“Understood, Lord Radak,” Coleman hastily replied.
At these words, all the apprentices collectively changed their expressions, their gazes toward each other unavoidably filled with suspicion.
This was precisely Lynn’s intended goal, to plunge everyone in the castle into a state of mutual surveillance and doubt. That way, even if he exhibited so peculiarities, no one would have a sudden lapse of reason and start suspecting whether ‘Lord Radak’ was genuine.
Afterwards, Lynn began organizing personnel to clean up the debris and tally the losses.
Since Radak was incredibly authoritative on normal days, Lynn found there was virtually no hindrance in his command, as absolutely no one dared to question his orders.
This ant that as long as his identity was not exposed, he could freely manipulate everything in the Magic Workshop.
…
After arranging the affairs in the castle, Lynn did not delay but returned to the secret chamber to sort through Radak’s belongings, particularly the experint notes, which contained the most valuable magic knowledge.
“Logan flower, Soul Calming Herb, witch’s sharp claw, roots of the magic sang tree…and then add spiritual body, right?”
Lynn sat at the cold experint table, flipping through a research notebook in his hands that recorded the formula of the “Magic Source.” If the Shaping Magic Potion strengthened a wizard’s physical body, then the “Magic Source” was intended to enhance spiritual power.
This was the essence that allowed a wizard to cast spells.
In fact, the rest of the ingredients were not hard to acquire as they could be bought with magic gold coins, but the key component was this spiritual body…
Spiritual bodies are broadly present in the minds of powerful magical creatures, although in scarce amounts—for instance, slaughtering a fire lion would yield just enough spiritual body to produce one bottle of “Magic Source.”
This substance also exists in the brains of Wizard Apprentices and even full Wizards.
Leaving full wizards aside, according to Radak’s estimation, just the spiritual bodies from the brains of three Wizard Apprentices would be enough to compile one set of ingredients and enhance the chances of advancent…
