Modern World Warlock-Chapter 119: Factory Cleanse

When Dante stood in the center of the room, surrounded by the dark carriers and the drugged women, a wave of calming energy enveloped the area.

June was squeezing the healthstone Dante had given her, and as her injuries healed, she gazed at the warlock and widened her eyes with surprise.

'That feels… nice?' June thought.

A white and golden mist materialized and wrapped around Dante's body, gradually changing his dark hair to a bright white color.

Neil and the rest of the Kappa Team couldn't contain their expressions from being utterly perplexed, and when Dante's transformation finished, a gust of wind gently blew against everyone's heads.

Dante's presence extruded an uncanny sense of divinity, stemming from the ghostly woman who materialized from the mist and held onto the warlock's shoulders.

"Beatrice, forgive me… I need you again," Dante muttered, his words perfectly clear on his microphone for Camille to hear.

The ghostly woman placed herself before Dante's face, giving him a warm smile that showed no resentment for him—contrasting with his apologetic attitude towards her.

The warlock smiled sadly and closed his eyes, prompting the figure of Beatrice to gently place her forehead against his, producing a wave of warm and somewhat luminous air that focused on the victims.

June watched how the waves traveled across the room, witnessing the dark bumps in the women's bellies slowly disintegrating into thin air, leaving a trail of golden glitter behind, and turning their bodies back to normal.

With no dark carriers left in the room, the waves of warm air focused on Alice and the drugged victims, shattering the dark chains ensnaring their bodies that were only visible to the warlock.

Dante noticed that Alice's chains looked a bit loose compared to the others, making him ponder if the woman had slightly released herself from the curse with pure determination.

As the last woman was cleansed, Dante gave his thanks to Beatrice's figure, who posed her lips against his before vanishing, returning the warlock's original hair color back.

"All done, Camille. Where should I take Nihilor?" Dante spoke up to the handler on his earpiece.

["Ah, yes. I'll ask Trinity to guide you… It'll take me a bit longer to get there, though,"] Camille said.

"Everything okay?" Dante inquired.

["Yeah, I just have to keep overseeing Megan and Zac's mission…"] she replied.

"How are they doing?"

["Well… They are a little busy,"] Camille said, her voice sounding slightly worried.

"Do you want me to go check on them?" Dante continued.

["No, no. I don't think they are in danger… They are just… busy,"] Camille clarified.

Dante didn't fully get it, but he didn't feel troubled as long as they weren't in danger.

During Alice's rescue of the abandoned factory, Zac and Megan were sent to accompany Maya in raiding a base of the Ruby Vipers.

The base was located in an abandoned construction site near the poor district of Dewmore, where Zac grew up.

While on the train ride, the redhead was a bit apprehensive about the mission and clenched his bat.

'Come on, Zac—Megan used to do this by herself without a contract with a warlock,' he thought, trying to calm down his nerves.

Maya, who usually guarded the bait home with the two Tylers, went along with the Omega Team since Lilith was present in the house, so Maya's protection wasn't needed.

"Are you from Dewmore, Zac?" Maya asked.

"Yeah… I moved out three years ago to attend college," he said.

"Mhm, same here… Although I moved out about 12 years ago," the agent replied with a nostalgic tone.

Zac was surprised to hear that and wondered out loud how she ended up working with Camille.

Maya was an orphan in Dewmore who used to be quite violent as a child. The pink-haired girl beat up an older kid in the orphanage when she was only 11 years old, so she was alienated by the other children and caretakers for her demeanor.

By the time she was 16, she was still living at the orphanage, but since nobody wanted to care for her, she found a job as a fighter for an underground gambling site.

One night, after winning her fight against a professional MMA fighter, she was approached by a man who wanted to adopt her.

The man's name was Fernando Luz, and he was the leader of the Gamma Team from the Jade Dragons.

Maya was wary at first, but the man ended up convincing her when he told her that she could finally leave Dewmore.

When Maya was brought to the Jade Dragons residence, she was instantly placed in the Gamma Team under her adoptive father's supervision, who treated the supposedly savage girl like his true daughter.

The Gamma Team had dozens of members back then who treated Maya like their little sister, including the two Tylers, who were quiet but thoughtful with her.

Zac listened to the story and felt pretty relieved that Maya could get an opportunity like that when she went through so much.

However, he knew that the current Gamma Team was composed of only three of them, making him bite his lips with a hint of sadness, as the people in that story were murdered by the Blood Dragons.

Maya noticed the redhead's apprehension, so she continued her story, saying that when the Blood Dragons attacked the residence, Maya was only able to escape with the help of her adoptive father.

The pink-haired agent was ready to fight back, but Fernando knew that it was futile and ordered the two Tylers to get Maya to safety without looking back—an order that the men took without a second thought.

"That's why we fight, Zac…" Maya said.

"We all have a reason to be here, and I'm sure you do too," she continued.

"I…" Zac uttered.

'Why do I fight? These were the bastards who made my mom miserable for years—I fight for my friends… and my family!' The redhead thought, confidently clenching his fist.

"I do… I do have a reason," he replied to Maya, making the agent smile with satisfaction.
