Modern World Warlock-Chapter 105: The Blood Dragons’ Scheme

Late at night, inside the warehouse where Dante and his group were interrogating Captain Slacks, June was seen wrapping a bandage around her knuckles after unleashing a barrage of punches on her mentor.

Slacks’ face was slightly disfigured, missing a few teeth and the nails on his right hand.

"There’s no point in me telling you anything… You can’t win," Slacks muttered, blood dripping down his mouth.

"They have summoned a large number of those monsters… Succubi, wraiths, fiends, harpies… Heh, what can you even do!?" the captain continued.

Camille gazed at Dante as the man listed the different types of demons that were being summoned, but the warlock didn’t seem bothered by any of the names mentioned.

"What do you think?" she asked.

"Those are all pretty annoying… I guess the wraiths would be the most dangerous," Dante commented, placing a hand on his chin.

The captain found it strange that Dante would describe the demons as "annoying," making him remember the warning Sabelio gave him about a man with dark hair and crimson eyes.

"You… kid," Slacks beckoned the warlock.

"What is it? You got something to say to me?" Dante asked as he approached the man.

"Are you the one they called ’Hellslayer’?" the captain asked, his voice raspy but direct.

’Hellslayer…?’ June pondered, remembering that Nihilor had said that name when he attacked them.

"Mhmm, that’s me," Dante coldly replied.

"Heh… hehehe… ahahaha!" Slacks chuckled with a deranged laugh.

"It’s all because of you! — If you hadn’t shown up, that monster wouldn’t have taken such drastic defensive measures…" he continued.

"Hmmm, you say that, but Malgaroth had already eaten over a hundred citizens before I got here… What’s your excuse for that?" Dante refuted his accusation.

"Astaroth stole the souls of thousands of people, and you are telling me that wouldn’t have happened if I hadn’t arrived? Seriously, sir, don’t make me laugh…" the warlock continued, his voice condescending but polite.

"I may not know anything about you, but the mere rumor of your presence was enough to make the king nervous… Even so, I don’t think you have a chance against them," Slacks said.

Dante smirked. "Is that right? I still haven’t heard you name any demon that could get close to matching me, though…" he said, releasing his suppressed umbra before the man.

Ordinary people couldn’t see his overwhelming aura, but any time the warlock released it, it created a heavy pressure around him that made people’s bodies shiver and gave them the urge to run away.

As Dante’s body was encased in his formidable umbra, not only Captain Slacks but Camille, Paige, and June felt like they were in danger, freezing them in their spots.

The Alpha Team members that were present took out their weapons out of pure instinct. Still, Camille was able to keep herself together and ordered them to lower their aims.

When the warlock suppressed his umbra back inside his body, Slacks’ eyes widened in pure shock, realizing that he had indeed joined the losing team.

"I see now… If there is no hope for me, then at the very least…" the captain muttered, revealing the location where Nihilor took Alice.

The man said that Nihilor had taken an entire abandoned building on the outskirts of Novis, where he stored all of the people who were drugged with his blood.

A corruption fiend would feed from the negative emotions that came from the people they corrupted after making them commit horrible atrocities. However, they would have more power if they had siphoned the lives of people directly.

It was common for demons to feed on the souls of humans they deemed strong, as their spirits would give them a more significant boost than those of a person without talents or ambitions.

Captain Slacks didn’t know the exact address of the abandoned building, but the general knowledge he had was enough for Trinity to look it up.

The hacker had been listening and watching the captain’s interrogation the entire time, and now that the man was spewing everything he knew, she sent a message to Camille, asking her to inquire about her father.

Trinity’s father had disappeared two years ago, leaving no trace behind as his name was deleted from the hospital records as if he had never worked there.

From the information that Trinity and Camille gathered, they found out that he was the only doctor whom the Blood Dragons targeted.

"Ah… I do remember the doctor," the captain muttered.

Two years ago, Sabelio was searching for a doctor who could do a specific surgery—one that could switch his heart for a demon’s.

Of all the surgeons they investigated, Sabelio believed Dr. Sylva had the qualifications to safely conduct the surgery.

At first, Sabelio approached the doctor in a friendly manner. However, when he went into detail and explained the surgery he was looking to get done, Doctor Sylva declined.

The doctor was simply told that he would have to conduct a heart transplant surgery, but they never mentioned whose heart he would be switching, so he started to suspect Sabelio of his intentions.

A heart transplant wasn’t a surgery that doctors could just "do," as it had to go through numerous people and permissions to get accepted.

When Doctor Sylva decided to report to the police the strange meeting he had with Sabelio and his suspicions of an illegal heart transplant taking place somewhere in the city, it backfired on him.

Captain Slacks had been working with Sabelio and the demons for some time, so when he received the doctor’s report, he hid it and sent it to Sabelio, who then targeted the doctor out of fear that he would keep trying to expose them.

That’s when Trinity received the unknown message to delete a doctor’s information from a hospital, which she declined, but her partner Spook ended up accepting.

While hearing the story through Camille’s microphone, Trinity gritted her teeth with anger as a tear rolled down her cheek.

The last thing that Captain Slacks heard about the doctor was that he had been corrupted by Nihilor and forced to complete the surgery on Sabelio. However, he didn’t know his fate after that.
