Episode 55
Beckerman stares blankly at the old man and says:
“It’s nothing, so don’t worry about it. But let’s get to the main point. When do you plan on starting the ‘human experiment’?”
“First of all, the theory is perfect. The experiment on livestock was a great success. However, humans and livestock are clearly different. The shortened life span is the biggest concern, but if we experiment by slightly adjusting the activation of cells… … .”
Beckerman raises his hand and interrupts the old man.
“so.”
After a brief pause, he places his glass down on the table.
Beckerman stares into the old man’s eyes.
“I asked when it would start.”
Even without raising his mana, Beckerman was oozing with intimidation.
Isn’t he the strongest man among the human race?
The old man across from me quietly strokes his beard.
“Hmm… … I understand that the Crown Prince is very interested in this research, and now I see that Mr. Beckerman is too. It’s simple. We plan to start the experiment as soon as we get the subject. However, as you know, Mr. Beckerman, the moderates are quite strict, aren’t they? Because of them, it’s become too difficult to obtain ‘materials’. If only we had the materials, well, so many things would be different. So… … .”
“Please save the subject?”
The old man smiles faintly.
“Yes. If possible, I would like to have someone with outstanding talent for mana.”
The smile of the young man, Heynckes Beckermann, deepens.
“Good. I’ll send the subject here by tomorrow.”
With those words, Beckerman downed the whiskey in front of him in one clean shot and stood up.
Then a young man at the back.
A man who appears to be about the same age as Beckerman approaches and hands Beckerman the crow cloak he was holding.
“Ah. I forgot to ask that.”
“which?”
Beckerman, with his crow’s cloak draped over his shoulders, turns his head slightly.
“Humans created by the union of humans and dragons. How would you define them?”
The old man sticks out his tongue and licks his lips.
As if there was already a word in mind.
“I call ‘it’ Half-Blood.”
“Half-Blood… … I like it.”
The moment Beckerman was about to turn around.
Tsk-tsk-!!
Beckerman and the young man in front of him frown.
Wave of mana.
“Doctor, did someone have an appointment to come here?”
The old man shakes his head.

“Then what is this mana wave? It’s clearly the Master’s energy.”
That was when.
Phew-!!
A small breeze is blowing.
Fierce and fierce.
A magnificent wind like the movements of a maestro before the beginning of a symphony.
Beckerman knew from experience and feeling what to do at this moment.
Not only Beckerman, but also the young man next to him.
Kuung-!
The two people’s bodies are wrapped in the shape of a huge mana shield.
Then Beckerman turned his head and reached out to the old man.
His enormous mana covered the old man’s body, and at that moment, the old man, who did not understand the situation, was about to say something with a bewildered expression.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!
With a loud explosion, a huge flame engulfs the surrounding area.
The two young men stood there frozen in place, but the old man was not.
Kuung-!
An old man is thrown into a wall while engulfed in a shield.
And, this was just the beginning.
In an instant, all the surrounding walls and debris melted away.
Lava. A fire of even greater intensity.
The old man looks frightened.
His trembling chin told me that the situation was serious.
Beckerman and the young man protected themselves as best they could.
and.
Kwaaaaang-!!
Another explosion erupts.
This explosion was different.
Beckerman and the young man, who had thought they would stop it on the spot, flew far away with their shields wrapped around their entire bodies.
At that time, Beckerman gritted his teeth even as he flew.
Because he saw it.
Principal Investigator of the Study.
The shield covering the old man’s body melts away, and then his body turns to ash.

‘What the heck is going on!’
* * *
Teleport, a magic that allows you to travel very long distances, is basically a 10th circle magic.
Advertisements
Even though it is a 10-circle magic, you have to input the coordinates of the corresponding location in your head, and when arranging the mana and using the magic, the work of making the coordinates compatible with the mana must also be perfect.
The most difficult magic among the 10 circle magics.
It is the flower of wizards, the magic that shines the most when war breaks out, and it is also the magic that is linked to the first rank of the most threatening magic even though it is not an attack magic.
The surrounding scenery changed in an instant.
I looked around furtively.
The damp walls and the strong smell of blood that hit my nose.
And all sorts of documents and body parts of countless species contained in long tubes.
Then he turned his head backwards.
One day, when I saw my Master in the cave, the chains that were binding him were made from dragon bones.
And now, the chains I had seen back then appeared before my eyes again.
Colorful body.
A creature measuring about three to four meters in size was hanging from the wall, chained to it.
That wasn’t all. One of its arms was completely cut off, with blood dripping down it, and there was something like a long iron rod stuck in the remaining front paw, two hind legs, and near its heart.
No lengthy explanation was needed.
It’s just, a very miserable sight.
A huge murderous intent rising from the guy’s body.
Not a specific murderous intent towards someone, but a race.
no.
An infinite killing intent that wants to kill all beings except oneself.
The surrounding mana also reacts to that killing intent.
What a truly magnificent sight.
It is quite unusual for mana to move in response to emotions like this.
As I was looking at that sight, the teacher asked me a question.
[What should we do?]
“Well, I’ll take it for now.”
That was the end of it.
The Master turned his head and slowly raised his hand towards the front.
Mana of the void.
Mana, which had been responding to the dragon’s killing intent, began to gather into the Master’s hand.
Next.
The master recites the spell.
[Hellfire.]
A huge blast of heat bursts out in all directions, centered around the Master’s hand.
Hellfire, a 10th circle magic, is a magic that is always in the top three when it comes to top attack magic.
A feast of mana stretching out from the master’s hand.
They looked like giant fireballs, or like huge walls of fire.
Everything that touched the flames burned and turned to ash, and those that turned to ash were subsequently destroyed.

Kwaaaaang-!!
A huge explosion follows, and the Master, who has been extending his hand, recites the spell once more.
[Hellfire.]
Kwaaaaang-!!
Wow, you’re really shouting.
The teacher, who had shaken off his hands, looked around.
Then he slowly turned his gaze towards the sky.
I, too, followed the teacher and looked up at the sky.
This was definitely a basement.
Above, there must have been relics of a country from hundreds of years ago, but the scenery that my Master and I see now is…
There was nothing but moonlight.
Literally everything around here was burned and melted.
The basement is no longer a basement.
As far as I know, this basement is very large.
The area alone is about 3,000 square meters.
It even has floors B1 to B3.
But now, the entire laboratory up to the third floor melted in an instant.
I couldn’t help but think, “How could something be this easy?” But if it was Nana or the Master who handled the matter, then this much was expected.
The master turns his head towards me.
[I erased everything around me. Is there nothing else besides here?]
“Yes. This is the end.”
The teacher nodded slightly and crossed his arms.
[Now do what you have to do.]
He nodded and turned his head.
A dragon staring blankly at me.
I look at the guy too.
-Krrrr… … .
The guy growled lowly.
The immense hatred in those eyes is quite impressive.
He seemed a little bewildered by the tragedy that had just occurred, but his hatred was still greater than his confusion.
This guy, he was quite an interesting guy.
A memory from my past life comes to my mind.
-Please, kill me.
Adult dragons usually grow to between 15 and 20 meters in length.
The guy in my distant memory was about the same size as now, about 3~4m tall, and had a similar appearance.
One other thing is the look in your eyes. And the way you express yourself.
-Please, kill me.
The guy kept repeating that.
Advertisements
For your information, I have never been violent towards the guy or done anything like that.
I just knew where this place was, I came here, and I killed every test subject, alchemist, and doctor I could see.
That was the basement we arrived at.
-Please, I was wrong. Kill me. Please.
A guy from the past who was completely out of his mind and couldn’t even maintain his original state of mind.
-I won’t even open my mouth anymore. I won’t even eat. Please kill me. Please. Please.
First, I shook that memory out of my head.
I raised my head again.
I met eyes again with the guy who was glaring at me with blazing eyes.
I raised my senses and focused.
I can see a hint of despair and resignation blooming in those blazing eyes.
I felt that emotion, and I’m sure the teacher next to me felt it too.
“It’s different, but I guess I’ll have to do what I have to do, right?”
I slowly pulled out the sword that was hanging on my back.
And then, slowly, I gathered my energy.
Soul energy, not mana.
The spirit’s energy reacts weakly and covers the longsword.
The guy who was looking at me and the sword slowly closes his eyes.
I looked at the sight for a moment, then swung the sword I had raised.
Crunch-!
Then, with a loud crashing sound, the severed chain falls to the floor.
With a time difference.
dump-
The dragon also fell to the ground.
The eyes of the guy who had been closed open.
There was a hint of relief in those eyes.
Ah, that feeling of relief that I’m not dead.
The guy with his head buried in the ground slowly raises his head and looks up at me.
The fear and resignation hidden behind the hatred, the guy’s appearance that was revealed was definitely different from the guy I saw in my previous life.
You punk.
“In some ways, it might be quite fortunate that I came now.”
-……what?
“What should I say about you after 18 years? You look so tired.”
The dragon just shut its mouth.
“So that’s the kind of guy who begged to be killed. Do you want to live?”
Advertisements
-… … .
The dragon said nothing.
Just looking at me with clear tears in her eyes.
“I know what’s being abandoned by my parents, it’s a beast that is split, bleeding, and even the leather?
The tears are getting thicker.
In contrast, a faint smile appeared on my lips.
A strangely contrasting appearance.
“They’ll make armor out of the skin they take from your body, and they’ll try to combine your blood and bones. If they fail, they’ll keep going until they succeed. Of course, you won’t be involved in the experiment. You’ll feel the entire process of them dissecting you alive, forcibly regenerating you, and dissecting you again, and you’ll eventually go crazy. What’s at the end of it? It’s simple. You’ll lose your wits, and you won’t be able to hold a grudge against anyone, and you’ll beg random people to kill you. That’s what’s waiting for you. Do you want that? Do you want to be experimented on and die?”
-Ugh… …Sob… … .
