The Strongest Knight's
Ch. 139 - The Light of Death
The sound of the door opening was heard by a hunchbacked old man. In front of the old man was seen a fairly large chest, the old man was seen trying to remove some items from the chest. He ransacked the coffin, like he was looking for something he had not found since he started removing some of the items he had placed on the floor of the room not far from the chest.
As soon as he heard the door creaking open from the left, the old man straightened up and looked to his left. The man was quite surprised, while holding an object that was either the thing he was looking for or not, the man greeted a woman who had just opened the door. "Ah.. You apparently!? Who do I think!" His voice looked at the face of the Woman who was also shocked as the old man greeted her.
"Professor Asking!" Said the woman, she was a little panicked to find out that someone else was in the room.
"Yes.. Aliyah." Reply to the old man wearing the glasses while confirming his old worn glasses.
"Ah.. I-I think Professor is resting in your study!?" Aliyah panicked a little when she found out that Professor Asking was also in the same room as her. The reason Aliyah panicked was of course because she did not want Oana's whereabouts to be known by others.
"Yes.. I was, but I was looking for something. Ouchh.." The old man felt pain and held his waist. The looking Aliyah rushed over and held the arm of the slightly bent old man beside her. "I'm not papa.. Understandably, it's old like this. Heheheh." He laughed lightly.
The old man immediately realized when he turned his gaze towards Oana who had been behind Aliyah ever since. "God! Who's the girl.. I just saw her? Is he your student?" Ask professor Asking to Aliyah who is still holding her arm.
"Ah.. Yes, yaa.. Hehe, he's my student. Her name is Oana." Aliyah could not hide her awkward-looking facial features, but she thought quickly that an old man who was as sick as professor Asking would not care much about Oana's origin.
"Ah.. Oana, what a name." He said with a smile towards Oana.
Oana smiled back, she showed a friendly face to an old man whom she judged did not seem to be so threatening to her existence in this place.
"Professor.. You're looking for Proton? " Say Aliyah frowned.
"Yes.." The Professor's face became a little serious when answering Aliyah's question.
Aliyah suddenly let go of her grip, she looked quite upset. "Professor.. Please, we've already discussed this. Using Proton as the third power source for the dimensional portal was simply too dangerous. We talked about this with the others in your room." Aliyah.
"Just calm down, I'm not gonna use Proton to do that. I was just a little curious about the results. So I plan to prototype and do a demonstration.. Is it true that it will fail. If it fails even the impact will not be as big as we use the actual item." Professor is wise.
"Yes.. But it'll be a waste of time.. We'll start all over again! Come professor.. We just have to think of a way to create the third energy that will sustain the portal."
"I know, but it looks like we're a dead end." Assertive Professor Asking frowned.
"Tch..." Aliyah turned around and placed both her hands on her stomach, she was quite upset over what Professor Asking had told her.
Professor Asking is a magic researcher, he is also one of the highest members of the magic consulate who dedicates his life to creating various kinds of magic items. One of them was a magic item that he had long developed together with Aliyah and a few others.
Magic items that can open portals, considering dimensional magic is a rare magic that only some people have. One of the talented magicians who have magic is Murd Linda Chaya, a great magician who comes from the kingdom of Nusantara, as well as a friend of Aliyah Justifina.
Already many sorcerers, especially those in the wizarding research world are trying to find or create magic items that can open dimensional portals. It is unfortunate because until now no one has been able to create a magic portal perfectly even for magicians who have gained recognition from all magic celebrities such as professor Asking and his members.
"Aliyah.. I know how you feel! Because I was you at a young age. But..."
"Professor, please.. We've already discussed this. Don't make me repeat my words." Aliyah slightly raised her voice without looking at Professor Asking.
The debate that occurred between the two researchers made Oana sculpt because he did not know what to say or do. He was swept up in a discussion that he did not know at all.
"Saint Jose has created a new formula for this proton experiment.. So it looks like there won't be any problems.." Professor Asking told Aliyah.
"Arrkhhh.. I guess, you're useless. My account squeezes the pellet seeds later." Aliyah's face turned red and her neck veins were clearly visible, it seemed like Aliyah was very angry now.
A proton is a magic item that stores electrical energy that can generate power, its voltage is relatively light but still dangerous if the item explodes. What else is the magic formula in protons, if not used properly it will give off a fairly large electromagnetic field that can make any magic item system at a certain radius become irregular.
What's more after doing research many times using protons. None of the magic formulas had managed to perfect the portal opening item using protons as the third energy key, after a series of failures frustrated the magic research team led by Foreign professors.
The impasse they encountered led one of the researchers named Saint Jose to offer an idea to develop an electrical ring that is able to support the third energy key, the ring will balance the protons and make them function properly. At least that's the theory that Saint Jose told Professor Asking and his team.
Aliyah who was included in the research team found weaknesses and irregularities of the theory. He is not so sure but according to him, the formula given by Saint Jose is still not perfect and if it fails it will be fatal. What's more the formula is very complicated and it is likely that the experiment will fail.
The debate on this has been going on for a week. There are many researchers who support Aliyah but not a few who reject the theory of Saint Jose.
Aliyah seemed to be riled up because apart from her vast knowledge, the bad premonition about this experiment also greatly disturbed her inner self. What else Saint Jose is a person he hates since he was still studying the same science at Hogward magic school.
"Aliyah.. I know, you are a great magician and have created powerful magic items. Therefore, you must know that in every decision made by a magic researcher there will definitely be consequences. That's the path we have to go down, failure will help us learn to create something better." After saying those wise words, he was limped because he was tired enough to move some things from the chest. Professor Asking finally found the item he was looking for from inside the crate.
A small ball, the size of a ping pong ball that gives off a blue light.
"Professor, please rethink this!" Aliyah turned around to hold onto Professor Asking's shoulder and reassured him of the risky experiment she would be conducting along with Saint Jose and several teams that supported this plan.
Professor Asking held Aliyah's hand on his shoulder and turned around. "Calm down.. If it fails, I won't do it again, but if it succeeds then your name will still be written in history as one of the magicians capable of creating dimensional portal items." It was clearly Professor Asking who lowered Aliyah's hand from her shoulder.
With a small step, Professor Asking stepped to the left. He walked away from Aliyah, towards the door. When he passed by Oana who had been silent because he did not want to interfere with the heavy discussion, the professor smiled and said. "Listen carefully to what your teacher has to say, she is a great witch. Make sure you learn everything he taught you." He turned back to Aliyah again.
After which, the sound of the creaking of the closed door ended their conversation. "Damn, shit, shit.. That fucking guy... Aakhhgg." Aliyah looked very upset at Professor Asking's decision, even though she had explained the worst possibility that could happen if the research they were going to do failed.
"E' Mrs Aliyah." Said Oana approaching.
"Yes.. Ja. Ahhe.. Oana, I'm sorry.. I, ah come. So what do you need?" His frustration made him forget his purpose of trading to this place.
"I want to borrow the magic crystal, to look for the existence of the holy knight." Oana.
"Oh yeah.. Yep.. Right enough. Seeking the existence of the pervert. Sorry I forgot." Say Aliyah with a tendency that is still upset.
Meanwhile, at the same time.
A secret place that holds something little known to the residents of the town of Lockdown.
The underground chamber, the place where the huge magic circle gave off a bright light. What triggered the light was the spell of the burly old man holding the crown of a young woman. The woman who no longer has consciousness, the young woman has now lost her identity even her eyeballs look completely white.
The young lady was no longer hysterical and shouted like before. Now the woman was speechless with her body trembling incoherently.
"End now Sakromentus.." Tell the magic chancellor who saw not far from the magic circle.
"O pura anima innocentes porcam praecidaneam inmolato vita nostra pro nobis. The magia provecta clypeum: Exitosus unda." As he ended the spell he had read, Sakromentus enlarged his voice, shouting out loud.
Moments later.. The luminous magic circle grew increasingly radiant and the rays gathered into one. The light formed a single point and radiated out through the ground into the sky, the danger touching the protective membrane of the Lockdown city dome, as if giving new energy.
The light shot upward like a sturdy pole touching the protective membrane, the center of the light was a helpless young woman bound on the pole in the basement. The light dazzled the eyes and when the magic knights saw the light, they all smiled and were excited.
"Haha.. With this all the troops will be wiped out." Said the magic chancellor who so enjoyed the glare of the rays emanating from the young woman's body, the rays that he made weapons and the core of the great power of the magic protector of Lockdown city.
Above the surface, the glare of the light beam attracted all the attention of the struggling magic knights. No exception to the residents of Lockdown who do not know anything, because for the city residents who do not feel the tension of war. The light that appeared was like a holy light that was a blessing from the magic chancellor to them.
While on top of the button fortress, the knights who knew the light were cheering.
"Ah.. Magic chancellor!! Our savior."
"That's pretty.."
"Everything.. Our victory is in sight.. Long live chancellor magic!"
"Life the Chancellor of magic!!"
Cheers then echoed among the magic knights, as if the light that appeared and stretched it was a sign that they were going to win the fight tonight.
"What light is that?" Neyah, he stared at the light that appeared like a pole without knowing the purpose of the light.
"Neyah.. Look carefully.. It was a light magic successfully developed by the magic chancellor. It was that magic that had been protecting the Lockdown city from the attacks of the Demon clan. In fact, it was that light that thwarted the attack from the great sin-level demon a few years ago.." Said an old witch beside Neyah
Not only Neyah, but some other witches who are still relatively new do not really understand the appearance of light that almost illuminates the entire valley. As for those who know and have seen the light before endlessly praising and adoring their leader. None other than the chancellor of magic itself.
When the light touched the transparent dome that covered the entire city of Lockdown, instantly the once colorless dome now gave off a yellowish glow. The dome responds to a touch of light and now it gives off a light that dazzles the eyes of the demons and monsters that attack. No exception to the demons that originated in other corners of Lockdown city, they all watched the dome glow.
The light caught the attention of all who looked, even in the southern part of the city of Lockdown. Where, that place has been devastated by the great fight that just happened.
There were two demon races that were floating with a fierce aura coming out of their bodies, below them was a man with a sharp gaze. As if unmoved by the dense aura that was trying to intimidate him. Meanwhile, on his left side some alert holy knights were watching and trying to find an opportunity to attack.
"What can you do if the one who told you to come here is the demon king.. Chi, I can't dodge. Though I could have eaten some good snacks tonight." Bellzebub glanced at the holy knights, Rever who saw the glance also turned his head and saw the holy knights who were ready to fight.
"Hm.. The trash is here too! How intriguing. I'm dying to know their abilities now." Rever. "But that guy.. He's the one I really want to kill!" He nodded with a creepy smile.
"Hluhhh. Stop that ugly look on your face. That guy you saw. He'll be my main meal. Chichichis.."
Not far below, the holy knights prepared with the worst possibility. It was likely that the Rever attacked suddenly in their direction.
"Be careful.remember the devil almost killed us all." Gildarts clasped his huge axe with both hands, quite tightly with a sturdy body ready to fight at any moment.
"Calm Gildarts.. The devil is not interested in all of us." Smits said calmly, "Huh... It sucks but I hate to admit this, the two demons were more interested in the shabby men that were there!" Connect with a flat face.
The saint knights again saw Richard who was currently standing firm, motionless with a firm demeanor staring at the two demons above him.
"He heee.. Pege! Who's the guy?" Rebecca looked at Pege who was currently standing while holding onto the wound that was on her body. Pege did not reply, he only looked at Rebecca with a meaningful look. "Stupid.. Idiot... Pege, it's not time for you to shut up. You mute." Rebecca was upset with Pege's reticent attitude.
"Pege.. You fought with that guy. Do you know him!" Ask Smits firmly and calmly.
"No!" Pege firmly with confidence.
"alright.. Then I'll ask him." Said Smits twirling his holy spear as he walked closer to Richard.
Then in the sky, Rever smiled.. After that, with the speed of black lightning. He plunged right into Richard, the instant the impact occurred, the impact resulted in a shock wave that blew away some dust and sand.
"You!"
"Arggs.. Fucking strong you're a demon." Said Smits holding back Rever's attack with his spear, right in front of Richard who was still motionless.
Rever jerked his arm, which pushed Smits to the side. With a slight improvement in posture Smits can get back on his feet. "As I thought, you are strong.. But, I won't lose."
On the other hand, "Damn you Smits.. You attack first." Said Rebecca who saw Smits fight with Rever.
Then in the sky, Bellzebub came crashing. Not toward Richard but toward the holy knights. "Rebecca.. Looky!" Gildarts warned Rebecca of a surprise attack coming their way.
Shortly after the physical contact that occurred between the Rever and Smits. The magic protective dome was shining, as a result of the light coming from underground, right in the middle of the city of Lockdown.
The light stopped the fight that had just begun. That bright light left Rever stunned for a moment before he attacked Smits after his first successful attack on the tepis. "Light of Death.. Damn it, the old lady used it again." Rever muttered as soon as he saw the light meet the protective dome of Lockdown city.
"Ahh, I can't see clearly." Rebecca said in a panic.
Then after the light filled the dome, waves began to form and came out of the dome. The wave was like a nuclear explosion, the difference was that no explosion occurred. There were only beacons of waves coming out of the dome pointing in all directions.
"Belluzebub.. It's time to step back. Pull your troops out, tonight's enough here." Said Rever loudly.
"Hey, hey.. We haven't even danced." Says Smits who heard that.
The Rever turned on Smits. "I'm not interested in you trash!!!" Strictly speaking, "Red! We'll continue later.. Haha." Rever flapped his deformed wings and flew rapidly towards the sky, along with Bellzebub who listened to Rever's words.
Meanwhile, in the sky.
The monsters and demons that were hit by the expanding light waves exploded. The bodies of the demons and monsters that were hit by the waves exploded suddenly once it touched the expanding light waves. One by one the monsters and demons retreated following Bellzebub's direction.
Seeing that the magic knights who fought back cheered praise and adored the magic chancellor. They assume that the light is a weapon of demon destruction that has been protecting the city of Lockdown survive-years, as well as a secret weapon of Lockdown city in stemming the attack of demons.
That light was referred to as the demon slaying light, aside from the demon race and monsters. The light did not hurt the other races, it only killed demons and monsters.
Hundreds to thousands of monsters were exposed to the light, their blood pouring out like rain at night. Now the sky of Lockdown city and this valley is enveloped by a rain of blood of monsters and demons that were instantly destroyed as a result of the expanding light waves.
In just a matter of minutes the sky that was once full of monsters and demons had now become empty. The noise of the fight had now stopped being the sound of triumphant cheers, the monsters that were under the fortress also retreated and fled along with the other demons.
That light actually managed to sterilize the valley from monsters and demons.
