The Wizard's Biological Chip Can Process Everything-Chapter 88: Bleia vs Kirkou

Without wasting any time, I turned and ran.

The engine in its chest roared, and inside the armor, I was running faster than a leopard.

When I reached the stairs leading to the Tower’s main gate, I noticed three acolytes—two at Level 3 and one at the peak of Level 2.

The warning I sent through the magical talisman could only be received by a special magical item, which was currently in the hands of one of those apprentices.

That apprentice was Lucius, one of the Level 3 acolytes.

When he learned that three powerful acolytes were in the forest, he knew that with his abilities, there was no way he could chase or capture those outsiders alone.

Lucius requested help from two other strong acolytes.

When they noticed me, my armor skidded to a stop in front of them, kicking up dust into the air.

I looked at Lucius, who stared back at me with a malicious smile.

—Only three people? I asked, frowning. —Why not bring more acolytes? Wouldn’t it be easier? This would be a massacre.

Lucius slightly tilted his head, his eyes gleaming like those of a satisfied demon.

—Well... if too many came, it would be hard to profit, right?

Rafael, the other Level 3 acolyte, who had remained silent until now, moved his head and muttered.

—Where are they? He clenched his fists and added in a tone of restrained excitement. —It’s been a while since the last time I killed someone.

I shook my head, suppressing an internal laugh.

What idiots...

If these guys die, at least I’ll be able to keep their belongings.

—Follow me, I said, turning and moving toward the place where I had previously encountered the intruders.

As we walked, the Level 2 acolyte, the quietest of the group, looked at my armor with a curious gleam in his eyes.

After a few moments of silence, he finally asked.

—Are you Miguel’s new apprentice?

I rolled my eyes before answering.

—Why do you ask?

The acolyte smiled and glanced at Lucius and Rafael, as if expecting them to intervene.

—We heard you have talent for engineering, second only to Mateo.

I slowed my pace, measuring them with my gaze.

—Do you want to buy something from me? I asked, keeping my voice neutral.

The Level 2 acolyte hesitated before replying.

—Not now. Maybe in the future I might order a mechanical armor similar to the one you’re wearing. Could you tell me the price?

I felt the sharp gazes of the other acolytes on me.

In their eyes, I was a golden goose.

And without a doubt, they had malicious intentions.

But I pretended not to notice.

—Well, that depends on the material you want me to use for the armor, I replied casually. —Magical steam is a bit complicated to create, which makes everything very expensive.

In less than ten minutes, the mercenary group employed by the three acolytes was almost completely exterminated.

The last four were covered in blood from head to toe.

They stood back to back, barely managing to defend themselves from the demons’ attacks around them.

On the other side, their employers—the three acolytes—stood there casually, watching the mercenaries die with cold indifference.

Unless they were directly attacked by the demons, they did not interfere in the battle between demons and mercenaries.

It was as if the deaths of those mercenaries meant nothing to them.

While the last four mercenaries fought for their lives, the three acolytes chatted calmly among themselves.

—The energy aura we just felt should have belonged to one of the local acolytes. Why didn’t you let me capture him? the Lolita-shaped skeleton grumbled to her large, muscular companion.

—We are here to kill acolytes, not to invade the Tower. It would be better to let him spread the news that we are here.

—What? That’s exactly why we should have captured him! the Lolita skeleton spoke furiously. Perhaps because her opinion had not been accepted, she began venting her anger on the nearby creatures.

She raised her wand and waved it.

"Whizz~~"

A purple ray struck another Demonic Baby, causing it to explode.

The Snake-Head Apprentice shook his head and approached the muscular leader, asking,

—Are you sure it’s not a problem to let that bastard escape? I’m sure he’ll bring reinforcements, and what if they send a Mage here?

—A Mage? The muscular leader let out a dark laugh. —This forest is just a common resource site. Do you really think the Mages of the Tower would be willing to waste their precious time looking for acolytes here? Remember, even if they are Mages of an attribute opposite to ours, they are still Mages. Arrogant and distant. They will certainly send acolytes to look for us.

The Snake-Head Apprentice let out a horrible laugh, his forked tongue flicking in and out of his lips, making a mysterious sound.

—This place has many rare materials I need. Anyway, it will take a while for those acolytes to arrive here. I think I’ll take a look around while I wait.

After saying that, the Snake-Head Apprentice simply walked toward another distant area of the forest.

Watching one of his companions disappear into the mist, the muscular leader hesitated for a moment before simply turning and heading in another direction.

It was a rare opportunity to be in a private resource site belonging to a Light Mage Tower.

If he failed to obtain something valuable before finishing his official business here, it would be a huge waste.

As for that bizarre little girl—who currently had no skin and was merely a skeleton with glowing eyes—intentionally or not, they left her in the middle of those violent and bloodthirsty demons.

Would she get hurt? That question never even crossed the two apprentices’ minds.

Honestly, perhaps the biggest and most brutal demon in this swampy land was the girl herself.

Therefore, when I arrived with Lucius, Rafael, and Kirkou, what we saw before us was a small skeleton holding a magic wand, right in the middle of a crowd of blood-covered demons.

At that moment, not a single member of the entire mercenary company remained; everything had been torn into pieces of flesh and scattered everywhere.

While their broken corpses were being devoured by an army of Demonic Babies, the girl stood at the center of those demons.

Curiously, not a single demon dared to come within ten steps of her.

Moreover, as the skeleton ran and jumped from one place to another, the Demonic Babies—who had been busy eating—roared at her angrily before stepping aside and clearing a path, not daring to block her way.

A mercenary, whose legs were bloody and whose only remaining arm was broken, was being gnawed by dozens of Demonic Babies.

Almost lifeless, he raised his bloody, broken arm, waving it at the little girl approaching him, and said,

—Save me... Save... me...

With a sweet smile on her bony face, the little skeleton crouched in front of him and asked softly,

—Do you want help? I can help your soul. Can I take?

The dying mercenary was surprised to hear that and immediately nodded.

However, amidst the brutal pain he was feeling, he did not notice that the girl had spoken the word "take" in a vague and strange tone.

If he had known the other languages she spoke, he would have realized that when those strange tones fit together, she was actually saying a word that meant "Consume" in the magical language.

After receiving the mercenary’s approval, the smile on the girl’s face became even sweeter.

She quickly took a milky white crystal ball from her pocket and pressed it against the mercenary’s forehead.

With a short and simple spell, the mercenary’s body trembled, and then the small flicker of hope that had just appeared in his eyes vanished.

A white shadow emerged from his forehead and disappeared into the crystal ball.

The mercenary’s life force evaporated, and his bloody arm fell to the ground, never to rise again.

The Tower’s Acolytes watched all of this happen and stood frozen, horrified by what they had just witnessed.

Their arrival caught the skeleton girl’s attention.

She walked straight toward our group, lifted her head, and gently asked,

—Hi! I’m the adorable Bleia! Are you from here?

The rest of us looked at that small skull-shaped Lolita, who seemed to be trying to befriend us, but we were not fooled by her disguise.

Among the Acolyte Apprentice population, friendship, love, and humanity were merely beautiful words that had long been discarded.

All that remained within us was the desire to possess, dominate, and advance.

Naive apprentices died before even reaching Level 1 acolyte.

Noticing that we were staring at her crystal ball and cage, Bleia quickly hid them behind her back, pouting as she said,

—All these things belong to Bleia. You’re not thinking of taking them from me, are you?

Lucius looked around before whispering sharply to me.

— I thought you said there were three Apprentice Acolytes. Where are the other two?

— Kenedy went that way... He’s a big guy and good at fighting... If he runs into either of you, I’m sure something exciting will happen... The little girl pointed to the east and spoke in an innocent tone, clearly referring to Lucius and Rafael. — Martin went that way... I think he said he wanted to look for some materials.

No matter how many demons were killed, none of us would feel the slightest pity.

But if these plantations and secret herb gardens were discovered by those outsiders, perhaps the group of acolytes I had called would be punished by one of the Tower’s Mages. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

After all, they could bring even more acolytes into this battle.

Rafael’s rough and hoarse voice burst out instantly,

—I’ll go that way and stop that guy!

After saying that, Rafael’s strong body began running toward the east.

As he ran, he crushed the few Demonic Babies that stood in his path, making the others scream in rage—though none of them dared approach him.

—I’ll go this way! Lucius said coldly, adjusting his hat before running toward the west.

In the end, only Kirkou, the Level 2 acolyte, myself, and the strange and unpredictable skeleton girl remained at the scene.

—Are you going to fight me? The girl tilted her head and looked at the two remaining men.

—Before we fight, aren’t you curious why we’re here?

—There’s no reason to ask you anything.

—You caused chaos here and you will be punished for it.

—If I capture you, you’ll have to tell me everything. If I fail to defeat you, I’ll assume full responsibility for whatever happens here. Now, show me what you can do!

As soon as he finished speaking, he clenched his fists and began invoking a spell.

—Sacred fire! Come and burn the darkness~~~ As he cast it, the air shifted, and the energy of light shone like a sun in front of Bleia.

This girl shouldn’t have a strong physique.

So once she was hit, her bones would turn to dust, and she would quickly lose the ability to cast any of her bizarre spells.

Before coming here, I had emphasized the strange abilities of this little girl, so Kirkou had no intention of testing them.

He only wanted to knock her out as quickly as possible.

But what happened next probably made Kirkou’s jaw drop in shock.

The fire spell formed in Kirkou’s hand after about ten seconds, and then he launched it toward the skeleton.

"Zooshh~~"

The sacred fireball cut through the air.

On the other side, the small skeleton also wasted no time and began casting her spell.

—Dark energy. Deep darkness. Form a destructive ray~~

The dark spell also took about ten seconds to form and vibrated in front of the girl’s wand.

"BUZZZ~~~~"

The black lightning shot toward the golden ball of energy flying at her.

A powerful collision wave erupted as the spells met, seeming to tremble in the air.

The girl tightened her grip on her wand, which continued generating energy, causing the ball of light to explode in midair.

"Booom~~" The energy collapsed, creating a strong shockwave.

Damn! This is epic.

I thought, as I stepped back, searching for a distant place to position myself, planning to intervene only if Kirkou died or if the girl lost.

After all, I wasn’t obligated to defend this place—he was only here for an investigation, the mission he had accepted.
