I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 109 - 97: The Death of Radak (Combined)

Chapter 109: Chapter 97: The Death of Radak (Combined)

Dalak saw that Lynn remained motionless and thought he was unsure of where to begin with such a bloodied and obscure corpse, so he spoke up to remind him.

“Start by dealing with the organs, cut away the useless decayed flesh…”

Lynn then snapped back to reality and emotionlessly began dissecting Ralph’s corpse. His skin was cold to touch, with some residual frozen crystals, most likely from previous freezing treatments—no wonder it had been well-preserved until now.

Dalak watched Lynn’s knife work intently, occasionally offering reminders and instructing him to remove certain organs that were difficult to preserve and soak them in a dark green liquid.

Lynn vaguely realized that what he was doing might involve more than just dissecting a corpse.

The dissection work inside the secret room continued until five in the morning. Since Lynn had to be wary of possible attacks from Dalak, he remained mentally tense until he finally exhaled in relief after leaving Dalak’s manor.

Shaping Magic Potion experiments, Faceless, Ralph… Lynn contemplated everything he had seen in the manor.

It was certain that the “Black Doctor” Dalak was indeed associated with the Faceless and likely, as he had guessed, a core member of the “Blood Thorn.”

However, Lynn did not act rashly, even though it was just the two of them in that very soundproof and secluded secret room; he couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was amiss.

The only good news was that he had smoothly become Dalak’s assistant, which would provide him considerable convenience in his subsequent actions…

For the next two days, Lynn continued his teaching tasks as an arithmetical professor in the mornings, while at night, he acted as Dalak’s assistant under the guise of Timis, gathering more intelligence.

Outside of these times, he devoted himself to studying Shaping Magic in the library.

By the third day, Lynn had finally made up his mind; he knew he could not wait any longer because the following night was the assembly of the Faceless.

…

At night, inside Dalak’s castle, Lynn entered the secret room deep within the castle as usual.

However, today there was a change in the secret room, the most noticeable being the addition of a short, chubby figure.

It was the apprentice who had been severely beaten because of the Magic Potion incident. He was now tied above an Alchemy Array, his nose running and tears streaming. Upon seeing Lynn, he seemed to grasp at his last straw and shouted loudly.

“Please, beg him for mercy for me, Timis… I can’t just die like this… Remember, it was I who introduced you to become Lord Dalak’s apprentice…”

The short, chubby Wizard Apprentice pleaded tearfully until he realized Lynn was completely ignoring him. He then cursed vehemently, blaming Lynn for his current dire situation.

Lynn merely glanced at him indifferently, then turned his attention back to Dalak.

Since these days, he had noticed that this Black Doctor seldom left this underground fortress unless absolutely necessary.

“Make him drink it,” Dalak said, handing Lynn a bottle of blue Magic Potion before resuming the engraving of the remaining alchemy runes.

Lynn glanced at the alchemy Formation under his feet, memorized it silently, then grabbed the chubby apprentice’s neck and forced the Magic Potion down his throat.

In just a few seconds, the effect of the potion took hold. The grim and distorted expression on the chubby apprentice’s face gradually eased, a slight smile appearing at the corners of his mouth before he drifted into a deep sleep.

Witnessing this eerie scene, Lynn couldn’t help feeling alarmed and quickly stepped out of the coverage of the Alchemy Array.

Meanwhile, Dalak had finished engraving the last rune and chuckled darkly while reciting a complex spell.

The chubby apprentice’s body soon levitated, his mouth wide open, body trembling violently before a pale blue light gradually emerged.

No, Lynn quickly realized, it wasn’t light but a transparent, ghost-like figure, rippling like water…

Was this… a soul?

This was the first time Lynn had witnessed such a stunning sight; he immediately understood why Dalak had built such a secretive laboratory. If the previous Shaping Magic Potion experiments were merely borderline acceptable, then the study of Spiritual Witchcraft was outright forbidden in Wizard Land.

The pale blue Spiritual Body floated in the center of the Alchemy Array, staring hatefully and bitterly at the two men, then emitted a strange, piercing scream and rushed violently towards them.

The moment the scream sounded, Lynn felt as if something had struck his brain.

He had experienced this feeling before when Bai Ge used the “Soul Scream,” but this time the effect seemed much weaker; Lynn was only slightly affected before he quickly backed away several steps, not yet knowing how to deal with a Spiritual Body.

Dalak, however, remained unmoved. The ground’s alchemy runes suddenly illuminated, and the rushing Spiritual Body slammed into an invisible barrier, unable to escape the bounds of the Array no matter how it surged.
