I Created Scientific Magic-Chapter 144 - 131: The Demise of the Yetta School
Compared to Tic, who mistook someone else, Orlando and Rafael looked pale, obviously having recognized the person.
For Lynn, who had absorbed the soul power of thousands of people at Yiyeta, she was invincible, but she had no strength to struggle under the joint hands of two great wizards.
Utilizing the Array in the tower, originally meant to suppress spiritual bodies, Rafael quickly bound the resentful spirit of Yiyeta to a corner of the tower.
August aptly produced a deep blue crystal as a tether for the spiritual body, aiding Rafael in sealing it away.
The deep blue crystal was quickly stained blood red, and within, one could faintly see the continuously surging resentful spirit.
After dealing with the threat in the tower, Rafael quickened his pace towards the deeper underground areas, his expression growing increasingly grim; his suspicion undeniably came true—Helram had indeed secretly modified his Alchemy Array.
However, an infuriated Rafael soon discovered that Helram, whom he was looking for, was dead, right inside this tower.
"How could this be?"
Philip, unable to believe what he saw, looked at the body lying on the floor, already devoid of signs of life. Had it not been for that familiar face, he would never have recognized the person before him as Helram.
Kevin and Orlando also wore faces of disbelief. How could a great wizard die silently within the Tower of Whistling? Had they not followed Rafael in, they would still be in the dark.
But wasn’t Master Helram already on his way to Wizard City, Greenwryder?
A guess suddenly leaped into everyone’s minds, but they were all unwilling to believe that possibility.
"His life force was drained, that must be the cause of death. It’s possible that the resentful spirit was responsible. Before death, he was also subjected to a strong backlash of magic..." Rafael carefully examined Helram’s corpse, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowing. He turned to Tic and asked.
"You seem to know the identity of that resentful spirit just now..."
"That must be Yiyeta." Before Tic could answer, Orlando sighed and said on the side, knowing these matters, if the council wanted to investigate, it would be hard to conceal. Thus, he voluntarily started to reveal what he knew.
Yiyeta was Helram’s daughter, a child with great magic talent and a spiritualist.
But precisely because of her talent, Helram had let her engage in various kinds of magic from an early age, including spiritual magic techniques, hoping to train her into the youngest official wizard in Wizard Land and create a new record, believing she had the potential to break through the legendary wizard level.
However, things did not go as planned. Yiyeta died in an accident involving spiritual magic before becoming an official wizard.
"Master Helram always dwelled on his daughter’s death, believing that if he had not recklessly exposed her to magic when her mind was not fully developed, such a tragedy would not have occurred..."
At this, Orlando shook his head and did not continue. One of Helram’s purposes in establishing a school in this harbor city was to find a way to resurrect the dead.
However, ever since Kro, the professor in charge of this matter from the spiritual science discipline, traveled far to the Sekas Empire, this Tower of Whistling had been abandoned. Orlando thought Helram had given up on this impractical idea, but unexpectedly...
Philip and Kevin’s faces also revealed a trace of gloom, as they had not anticipated that Helram would resort to using the Soul Devouring Array, such a cruel method.
Rafael couldn’t help but sigh, "A grand wizard dying at the hands of his own daughter and the spiritual body he created, this is undoubtedly a great irony."
"Things are probably not that simple," August pointed out the dissolved and damaged tiles and the traces of damage on the Array set up on the high platform.
For a spiritual body, one wouldn’t need to use fire magic...
"Could it be that someone else is involved? Perhaps this wasn’t done by Master Helram after all," Kevin hurriedly interjected.
Rafael sneered a little. The Tower of Whistling was built inside Yiyeta Academy, and besides, there was the modification covering the entire harbor city with the Spiritual Power Array. He was definitely not convinced of Helram’s non-involvement in such a huge project.
However, the traces of battle left in the tower confused Rafael.
If there was another grand wizard who had planned this together with Helram, then why didn’t they take away their creation after Helram died, instead choosing to leave this spiritual body in the Tower of Whistling?
All the soul power collected by the Soul Devouring Array had created such a powerful spiritual body, leaving her here was simply a wasted effort.
All of a sudden, Rafael thought of another possibility—that, after activating the Soul Devouring Array, someone had entered the Tower of Whistling and killed Helram, trying to stop the Array from spreading further.
Could there be a second grand wizard within Yiyeta Harbor who didn’t want to reveal themselves?
Rafael was completely puzzled and didn’t realize that his other target was right beside him.
After all, in Rafael’s mind, Helram was a Level-5 Grand Wizard; a formal wizard stood no chance against him.
Lynn was also observing the base of the tower. Due to the vacuum domain released by Helram, the White Phosphorus Fire that had lost its fuel had long been extinguished. The damage from the fire alone couldn’t provide any clues and likely wouldn’t implicate himself.
Realizing this, Lynn quickly felt relieved. Killing the Grand Wizard Helram and stopping the spread of the Soul Devouring Array, although it would be a significant accomplishment if revealed, it would also bring immense trouble.
...
In the following days, the development of events somewhat surprised Lynn. Although Rafael and August reported the death of Helram, they didn’t reveal that the massacre in the southern district might be connected to the grand wizard.
After all, having operated in Yiyeta Harbor for many years, Helram held very high prestige. Suddenly telling these civilians that Helram had set up an Array that covered the entire city intending to steal everyone’s spiritual energy would cause too vile an impact, only intensifying the civilians’ fear of wizard rule.

Thus, the blame was placed on those escaping evil mages, but the punishments conducted in secret were naturally minimal. All of Helram’s previously earned titles and honors were stripped, and his assets were confiscated.
Philip, Orlando, Kevin, and others all wore a look of worry. They understood that the future of the Yiyeta School was likely bleak...
