The Executed Sage Reincarnates as a Lich and Begins a War of Aggression Chapter 159: The Sage Asks the Director

I headed towards the basent of the laboratory and slipped through the security asures by directly transferring in.

I ought to enter openly through the entrance, but I was rather short on ti.

I put up a barrier in the white room.

The infiltrator spies could now enter inside without any security problems cropping up.

They were still conscious, and still seed to be groaning despite the fact that I couldn't hear their voices.

As I checked the barrier, the door to the room opened and the director appeared.

She shuffled in by phasing through the floor.

Oh, Demon Lord-sama! What business do you have here with us today? Please leave whatever you might need to us!

The director happily clutched her hands together.

I hadnt inford her of my sudden visit, and I also didnt sense any detection tools activating.

Despite that, she sensed my entrance and proceeded to welco .

I could only say that it was as expected of her.

Even among those in the Demon Lords Army, I doubted that there was anyone who could accomplish the sa.

While I was quietly impressed, I pointed to the barrier.

I would like you to analyze the people sealed in there.

As the barriers opacity decreased, the spies could be seen.

The director quickly stuck to the barrier at a speed comparable to a transfer spell.

Her face seed to be plastered on the barrier as she observed the spies.

Fumu I can only see them as common prisoners, is there sothing wrong with them?

If you et eyes with them, you will see that they are on the receiving end of so ntal interference. The strength of it was enough to drive ordinary people to insanity.

After she received my explanation, the director finally moved away.

She shook on her lab coat properly and observed the spies again.

Her eyes were shining with curiosity.

Eventually, the director tilted her head while smiling.

Oh, I cant feel any magical power on them So my job is to investigate the cause and its structure?

Yes. Can I ask you to do that?

Of course! Well do all we can to solve it!

The director nodded vigorously.

She was extrely happy to be tasked with solving the mystery.

Her eyes were bright with excitent.

Although she was devoted to her researchher knowledge, thinking ability, and insight were extraordinary.

In so fields, she might even surpass .

The speed and accuracy of her analysis were also perfect.

It could be said that she had the brightest mind in the Demon Lords Territory.

She possessed enough talent to carve her na in history.

However, the person in question didnt seem interested in that kind of glory at all.

It seed she was satisfied with her current environnt.

As the director walked up to the barrier, she touched the surface.

After confirming sothing, she called out to .

Well then, can you transfer these prisoners to the next room? Ill be most grateful since much of the equipnt is there.

Alright.

As I transferred the barrier and its contents to the next room, the director quickly headed to the entrance.

It seed she wanted to begin the analysis imdiately.

Its okay for to remove their restraints, right?

Yes! I will protect this laboratory at all costs. For , this facility is more important than my own life!

Be careful when you look into their eyes. Dont stare at it too much.

Ill do my best!

The director replied after a short pause and left the room as if trying to escape.

Looking at her reaction, she would likely ignore my warning.

Although it was a ridiculously dangerous action to take, I didnt worry all that much.

I thought the director would be fine, one way or another.

What I felt when I t the spies eyes was a strong ntal interference.

It was a power that could pollute ones heart, so much so that even I was almost affected by it.

However, in the director's case, she possessed abnormally strong ntal fortitude thanks to her obsession with her research.

So much so that her obsession could be seen as insanity.

That obsession of hers was much stronger than my own ntal fortitude.

Enough that she could dispel Lucianas charm on her own without using any magical defenses.

We had tried many forms of ntal magic against her, but none of them managed to affect the director.

Even this kind of abnormal phenonon was unlikely to affect her.

That was why I could confidently leave the analysis to her.

As I was thinking about that, I felt a presence co closer from behind .

When I turned around, I saw the figure of the director there.

She asked .

Do you have any other requests? If you have so ti, I could show you so of the results from our research!

Oh, lets see

As I conversed with her, I used sensory magic.

I could feel the directors presence in the next room.

As I tracked her movents, I concluded that she seed to be in the process of analyzing the spies as well.

However, there was also another director standing in front of .

This wasnt a hallucination, there were clearly two of them.

However, it didnt an one of them was a fake.

Both of them were real.

Im still not used to this

I looked at the director awkwardly.

Previously, I had turned the director into an immortal.

Specifically, she was transford into a spiritual race known as phantoms: a greater species of ghosts.

And recently, she expanded her repertoire of phantom abilities.

As a result, it beca possible for her to act as multiple beings at the sa ti.

It was sothing similar to a clone, but the difference was that both of them were the real director.

They shared their personality, mories and could even perceive each others actions.

Originally, this characteristic likely caused a collapse in ego, but the director managed to brilliantly master this ability.

The strength of her ntal fortitude could be seen from this point as well.

As I searched around using sensory magic, I could feel the director's presence all over the laboratory.

There were about fifty of them active simultaneously, and she operated the laboratory while cooperating with the other staff.

Because of her ability, the technological strength of the Demon Lords Territory improved dramatically.

Various researches and developnts were carried out every day.

The director was earthbound to this laboratory.

In exchange for being unable to leave, it allowed her to have trendous control over the facility.

This was also the reason how she managed to detect my sudden visit.

If the area was limited to the laboratory, nothing could slip through her.

Isnt she making use of her immortality more effectively than I am?

I turned her into an immortal out of my concern that she might die from overwork, but it seed I unexpectedly gave birth to a monster.

I had mixed feelings as I watched the director putter around in a good mood.
