15 - Conclusion and Turning Point

In this room──Black Crystal Pillars stood on the left side of the Sage Compartment.
These were the magic tools that Valery's test subject was trapped in and continued to be inflicted with pain.

Most of them destroyed with Shea's [Dissection] when freeing the subjects.
But some crystals that were vacant remain.

"For the precious our former teacher and disciple relationship. I'll prepare a wonderful life for you."
"Wh, wha...?"

I looked down at the quizzical Valery with a smile.

"You'll live in the crystal while feeling the despair of losing your magical power, and in eternal pain as well."
"...!"

Valery raised an inaudible voice with a shocked face.

Losing his magical power would be unbearable for him.
However, it was not impossible to use someone with magical abilities and continued the research.

If I revealed Irina's voice orb to the world, his fame would ruin, but that didn't mean that no one will follow him.

So, let's seal him there.

Reading the crystal's manual, it seemed to be also a life support device.
Apparently, it could last for five years without replenishment.
As expected of something made by Valery, it had high performance.

I could lock him up without worrying about him will die so easily.

"Rejoice. Every five years I'll visit here to replenish the crystal with life-sustaining energy. In this, you can live to the end of your life, Valery."
"YOU... YOUUU..."

Valery's face turned red with anger and became pale due to the loss of blood.
His complexion changed, what a busy guy.

Well, I guessed it was a natural reaction considering his future life.

"Shea, help me again. Just like I said, lock Valery inside the crystal."
"Understood, Chrome-sama."

Shea nodded reverently.

In fact, if I got any closer than ten meters to Valery, he would be killed.
It was helpful that she was here.

"Chrome-sama... I would like to ask you one thing."

Shea asked me,

"...Are you really okay with this?"
"Maybe because he was my former teacher? Don't worry about it. I do what I should do. Accomplish what I had to accomplish. That's it."
"...for asking you something so unnecessary. I apologize."

Shea bowed deeply.

"Stop it! I'm done! What more are you going to do to me... Stop iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~t!"

Valery screamed with a horrified expression on his face.

"H, hey, you're my cute disciple. Two years ago, there was a little unfortunate event... But I still think of you as an important disciple. You owe me a debt of gratitude, don't you? I was the one who taught you magic from scratch. Right? please reconsider it, oh my disciple, I beg you...th, that's right. The magic power you've been lost. Let's study how to restore it. I and you surely can figure──"
"Do it, Shea"

I didn't want to hear any unsightly excuses anymore.
So, I turned my back and walked to the crystal control unit at the end of the room.

Meanwhile, Shea carried Valery's body.

"No! NOOO!! Please forgive me! Please help meeeeeeeeeeee! I beg yooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu!"

That man whose limbs had been cut could not do anything but only twist and cry.

I went to the controller and turned back.
Shea had put Valery in the crystal.

"Bye-bye, Master... I'll stop by in a few years to replenish the energy, so we'll meet again at that time."

This was the last time I called him "Master".
This also completely cut off our master-disciple relationship.

I did not hesitate to press the activation switch on the crystal controller.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......................."

A scream of mixed anger, grief, pain, and despair echoed through the air.

"I kept you waiting, Yulin. The next is doing your business."

I turned my back to Crystal and told Yulin.
I could hear agony and screams from behind me without pause, but it didn't matter anymore.

"Let's looking for a method of dispel the [Darkness Pheromone]."

Among the orbs that contained his research achievements, there was also one that related to the curse on her── [Darkness Pheromone].

Surely Valery said it was the 372nd orb.
First of all, if we brought it back and studied it, we might find out how to dispel Yulin's curse.

We proceeded to the shelf on the right side of the room.
Orbs were lined up there.

"Chrome-sama, this is──"

Shea pointed to the far right edge of the shelf.

"Yulin's Orb?"
"No, it's different. That..."

On the shelves was written "00──Forbidden Spell - Chain of Darkness".
Was it a recording orb that contained the results of the research of the Forbidden Spell applied to me?

If I analyze it, I might be able to learn more about [Darkness].
I might be able to gain knowledge in the coming battle against Yuno.

"But there seems to be no orb...?"

Yulin said.

Indeed, the crucial orb was nowhere to be found.
All orbs were in order from number 01, but only number 00 was missing.

"What's the meaning of this──"
"Maybe someone has stolen it.....?"

Shea muttered.

"Stolen……?"

Who did it──
I raised my eyebrows, then I noticed.

There were a few characteristic red hairs that had fallen on the floor.

Maybe it was him.
Among Valery's seven disciples we fought before coming here.
Only one boy who managed to escape.

I didn't chase him because my objective was to get revenge on Valery.

If I wasn't wrong, he was Mikha.

What does he plan to do by stealing the research results of "Chain of Darkness"──
