Episode 550: Venting Anger (4)

───I’ll be playing in the cabin next to the lake in the center of ‘Green Wood’, a forest in the eastern part of the Central Continent, so come get me quickly.

The secret message that Rayshen sent through the Bohemian Tower branch manager was short and concise, as if it represented her personality of disliking bothersome things.

“A lake and a cabin. I don’t know if they found an interesting test subject there, or if they’re testing out a new test subject. Hohoho, there’s something quite charming about experimenting with magic in the pleasant atmosphere of nature. It’s inefficient, though. Don’t you think?”

“That is indeed so.”

“It would be better for a wizard to let go of such emotional aspects. Usually, unnecessary emotions become dull as you age… … Lord Rayshen, by modifying his own body, maintained his youthful vitality, but gained the side effect of his thoughts following his physical age. It’s a shame, but I’m also envious.”

Although Omar also secretly wishes for a healthy body rather than an old one, he has no intention of trying.

That’s because it’s impossible without the unique magic that uses magic as a medium to make the impossible possible in terms of probability.

This is an achievement that only Raytheon can achieve.

Of course, the option of body transplantation has recently become available through an organization called Gluttony, but for Omar, who pursues pure magic, it is something he is reluctant to do for many reasons.

Whoa whoa whoa.

Omar flew high above the clouds with 14 wizards under his command. They served as escorts and were valuable personnel for constructing a passage through space leading to the Bohemirn Tower.

The ability to create a space magic circle on one’s own is exclusive to magical beings who have transcended the walls of the 7th level, so a magician within the human category must work together with a number of magicians who are proficient in magic circles to create it.

“We have arrived, Lord Boldrak.”

“hmm.”

A small lake can be seen between the clouds. The surrounding area is filled with coniferous trees.

Even though the snow wasn’t piled up in abundance, the leaves were not blue but rather dark green, giving off the scent of winter.

They landed in front of a quiet cabin and summoned their magic.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

Omar himself climbed the stairs, accompanied by two elemental wizards. The old wood creaked under his feet.

Omar cleared his throat, laughed, and knocked on the door.

dripping.

“Hohoho! I’m here, Lord Rayshen.”

… … .

There is no response.

I tried pushing the door quietly.

It opens without any force.

As I stepped inside without any suspicion, I saw dust floating in the sunlight. The cabin, whose age I did not know, was filled with the smell of old wood.

And in the middle of the living room, there was an equally shabby wooden table, surrounded by wooden chairs… … and someone was sitting on one of them as if he was watching.

“From the looks of it, you must be Omar Boldrak, a member of the Itium. Did you come in person as the head of the household said?”

A beautiful woman sits with her arms crossed and legs crossed. She has dark green hair and golden eyes.

Omar tilted his head.

“Who are you, young lady?”

“Isabella Deiros.”

“Isabella?”

The name of the preliminary test subject that Croden missed and Raishen succeeded in securing.

“Hohohoho? So the young lady was an immortal test subject? She looks completely different from what I’ve heard from information. Her hair color, her eyes, her aura… … and even her realm.”

Omar became serious.

“Where is Lord Rayshen Taillord?”

“Where is Rayshen?”

Easybella revealed it.

“He’s already been beaten by Gaju.”

Kwaaaaang!

The table she had kicked shattered and fell in a straight line. Omar’s escort responded immediately with magic.

The cabin half exploded. The wind outside and the air inside meshed together. It was a split second when countless pieces of wood were scattered in the air.

“beta!”

Kugugugugugugugugu… … !

As if responding to Isabella’s call, the lake began to tremble violently, rippling and sending small waves crashing out of its boundaries.

Soon, an unidentified object rose from the center of the lake.

“what…….”

One of the wizards of the Bohemian Tower let out a voice of astonishment.

Two huge arms supporting the body. A single oval-shaped eye made of magical energy floating on the small head.

At first glance it looked like a gigantic rock formation, but it was clearly an artificial formation.

It wasn’t similar at all, but if we had to compare, it was similar to the artificial golem that was partially recreated in the Artesian Tower.

“… … .”

Omar opened his mouth in a daze.

Cognition did not follow.

That is to be expected, as artificial golems are a problem that the current magical world has not been able to solve, and are an ancient and lost magical technology.

Especially when it’s that big.

Height: 23 meters.

A unique characteristic of the frame, which was created based on the Earth Golem, was said by Beta to be a giant that uses the surrounding land.

[The barrier is activated.]

Hooooooooooo!

The semi-permanent power source, the core, was activated with electricity, and vast amounts of magical power erupted from Beta’s frame like steam.

Beta’s body, created at the Dark Lord’s Golem Research Facility, is not only extremely durable, but also specialized in magical defense functions.

Alpha, who is not suitable for combat in many ways, designed it so that his younger brother could directly assist Verden.

A torrent of pure magical power passed through everyone, spreading out in all directions before stopping at the end.

A translucent dome was constructed, extending far beyond the lake and the cabin, with a radius of about 400 meters.

This way, internal events do not spread to the outside.

“Magic barrier?”

“B, what’s the range… …!”

The look of confusion is evident.

Omar also came to his senses and calmly observed the situation, but he was also feeling perplexed inside.

A deformed magic circle of inversion appeared in Isabella’s left eye as she stared at them. The flashing shape visualized the essence.

“Without exception, they are all internal members of the Bohemian Tower. Well, that would be expected considering they are openly talking about test subjects.”

“… …Internal personnel?”

“There’s no need to be embarrassed. The head of the household has already told us everything. The compulsory magic circle carved by Baloch Besias is proof of that.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Omar licked his lips.

“Oh. That head of the household that the young lady was talking about… … He’s very knowledgeable about the situation at the Magic Tower. So much. Even things he shouldn’t know. There can’t be a traitor at the Bohemian Magic Tower… … .”

He turned his head slightly and spoke to the wizards over my shoulder.

“It seems that the secrets of the Bohemian Tower have been discovered by an unidentified person. In the process, it is highly likely that Lord Rayshen has been captured or already dead. Hohoho. And we have fallen into a trap.”

Omar gathered his magical power and clenched his hands into fists.

The two rings on the left and right index fingers respectively turned into light and became armor, decorating both arms.

Omar Boldrak’s exclusive weapon that replaces the staff.

“Kill him.”

As soon as the grim command was given, a dozen or so elemental spells aimed at Isabella. At the same time, a massive storm surged forward from afar.

Hwaaaaaaaaaaah!

The fourteen wizards belonging to the Bohemian Tower immediately retreated.

Looked north.

Alderneys, holding a short cane, walked calmly out of the forest. His eyes were like those of a professor protecting his students.

And that’s not all.

The Society’s elite emerged from hiding and appeared all at once. They surrounded Omar and his group from all sides, including the sky and the ground.

“I had heard in advance from my senior that the 4th ranked Bohemian Tower had been involved in human experiments… … But honestly, it’s shocking to hear it directly from them.”

“The wise men were right. For a free and responsible magical world, the current system that serves only the Magic Tower must disappear.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

Yunia, who agreed with Cain’s opinion, aimed at [Ultima].

“Destroy it all!!”

The Society took advantage of their numerical advantage to form an optimal team and enter the magic battle. In response, the Bohemian Magic Tower quickly rose into the air and skillfully responded.

Elemental magics clash, creating a loud noise and flashes of light.

In the midst of all this, Omar still held his ground.

Even though he was directly exposed to the storm of Alderney that had just flown in, he did not move at all and glared at Isabella with eerie eyes.

“A giant golem and my strength. You’re well prepared for the hunt. But it seems like you intend to face me alone, young lady.”

“When I dealt with Rayshen in Gargant, I was just a burden and couldn’t do anything. Well, thanks to that, I was able to meet the head of the household, but apart from that, my desire for revenge didn’t go away and just built up.”

Isabella gently caressed the [Elderon] worn on her left arm.

“So I wanted to vent my anger on you. Before I found Croden Olentia.”

“Hoho, how pathetic.”

The two people laughed, each for their own reasons.

The smile soon disappeared.

Two magicians of the 6th tier clashed head-on.

* * *

‘Oh, really? The call has been destroyed… … .’

I thought I might have been mistaken, but no matter how much I examined my body, I couldn’t detect any traces of the forced magic circle.

Released from constraints.

The feeling I felt after decades was unfamiliar, but at the same time, I felt an indescribable sense of liberation.

“It is entirely your choice whether or not to answer my questions truthfully and honestly. And with choice comes responsibility.”

My body trembled at the emotionless voice.

Elder Hiram.

In a sense, he was a chosen wizard.

Because he met the standards of Bohemianism and became the target of a call, he became a close associate of the transcendent being who reigns over the world.

But that’s why Hiram didn’t know how to resist the overwhelming power. Being dominated was so natural to him.

Perhaps I had a bit of a rebellious spirit in the past, but if I did, I’ve completely forgotten it.

“Haa… … Haa… … Haa… … .”

He was breathing heavily, holding his shoulder where his right arm had disappeared. Drops of sweat poured down like rain, soaking the floor one by one.

Verden asks.

“What is a reinforcement experiment?”

Hiram did not remain silent.

“The reinforcement experiment is… … an experiment designed based on the Hierarchy breach event triggered by, ah, Darkmoon, Dahit Westroel.”

“Details.”

“Although there is a price to pay, magicians who have dreamed can cast magic of a higher level than the current level, including the limit level. So, the Lord of the Magic Tower thought. If this dream can affect the upper level of the 6th level… … If we can somehow overcome the backlash, we may be able to surpass the 7th level even with a body that is not a transcendent being.”

So, in preparation for the dream, I prepared a test subject suitable for the hypothesis.

By further enhancing his magical abilities with the body transplant technology he acquired from Gluttony and forcibly expanding his vessel… … Subject 108, Abram Rekin, was a prime example.

In other words, the goal was to train magicians who could cast 7th-tier magic even if they had not yet awakened as transcendent beings.

‘It’s not a special topic.’

That’s a given.

It would be strange not to consider the realm of the 7th tier when it is possible to transcend the hierarchy, regardless of the reason or the price.

‘I’m sure other magical powers, including the Magic Tower, have already begun related research. It would be different from the unofficial experiments of the Bohemian Magic Tower, though.’

Verden continued with the questioning.

“I understand what a reinforcement experiment is. What about a thought bias experiment?”

“That’s… … Kkaaaak!!”

As soon as Hiram hesitated, he pierced the back of the bastard’s left hand with the Spear of Annihilation.

A scream rang out.

Hiram’s answers became faster as his hesitation disappeared.

“The, the thought bias experiment is… …! It’s a study where we select some of the subjects whose minds have been brainwashed by the call, and make them specialize in certain commands!”

Originally a compulsory magic circle, Callion forces the caster’s commands by inflicting unbearable magical pain on the target.

It is a means to truly manipulate your opponent, but its drawbacks are obvious.

The larger the range of actions that are enforced, the greater the likelihood that self-efficacy will decline sharply.

“Humans are so complex… …! It is realistically impossible to control countless actions with just a few commands. However, by using the linkage of the call number 89… … brainwashing was realized by successfully interfering deeply with the mind by forcing the functions of the body and brain.”

“… … .”

“The idea is to induce the subject to think of the order as a mission, and to think and judge about it autonomously.”

In this way, the shortcomings of the call were overcome.

But Baloch Besias was not satisfied with that.

Here again, my mind was struck.

Now, since the ego is not damaged no matter what command is given, and thus efficiency remains the same, I came up with the idea of ​​maximizing the efficiency of command execution by arbitrarily losing the ego.

Thought bias.

As the name suggests, it was a study that biased thinking to one side.

“… … The research has already been completed.”

Hiram, avoiding Verden’s gaze, gasped for breath.

“The subject of the biased brainwashing was able to demonstrate abilities beyond their limits in areas related to command. In exchange for losing their reason forever… … Number 70 was also one of those subjects… … .”

“I heard that the brainwashing by the call of the collateral doesn’t work properly because of the prohibition.”

“That, that’s right. That’s right. Number 70, who was one of the Master’s disciples, was excommunicated for an unknown reason and banned. That got in the way and he failed. He tried to lift the ban, but there was no way to remove the concept of the transcendent that had taken root somewhere in his body… … so he wanted to deal with it like Number 89.”

Hiram’s words were true.

Verden took a moment to collect his thoughts and then continued speaking.

“What did you trade with Gluttony?”

“In the war… … I helped them steal the corpses of magicians belonging to the Magic Tower, and in exchange for providing a space to experiment on them, I received the technology to transplant their bodies.”

I learned the technique from Gluttony.

“What ideal does Baloch wish for?”

“I don’t know… … I don’t know either. The only ones who know his ideal are ‘Angelo’ and ‘Tilon’. The two highest elders of Itium.”

I have never heard of Baloch’s ideal.

“Where is the location of the unofficial laboratory that is conducting full-scale reinforcement research?”

“That, that too is beyond my knowledge. Number 77, no, Verden… … ! Don’t you know? The internal personnel of the Bohemian Tower are strictly divided into territories, so interference is impossible… … !”

I don’t know the locations of other unofficial labs either.

Verden nodded.

“I see. It’s definitely not a lie.”

“That means… … .”

“But there is a huge difference between not telling a lie and not telling it.”

Verden grabbed Hiram’s head.

“So I have no choice but to see it for myself.”

I never thought Hiram would tell me everything. Nevertheless, I questioned him for ‘two purposes’.

The first one was to fulfill the conditions of magic.

Hooooooooooo!

Turbulent magic.

A crystal that Verden poured his heart and soul into during the planning stage. A new unique magic created with Dahit’s memories and the magic of infinity.

Verden’s randomly selected memories intersected with Hiram’s closest memory that he was currently recalling.
