The first meeting with Professor Haymes was quite unpleasant from the start.

To be precise, most of the smells felt by the members of the Dark Church were felt by Professor Hemes as well.

As for the guy who killed Stella’s benefactor, Hermia, and took her place, pretending to be a benevolent orphanage director and using the children as sacrifices.

Neither did Professor Hemes, who pretended to lead by example for the sake of his students and built this unpleasant facility in the basement.

One of the most irritating things about the guys in the Dark Church is that most of them live this double life.

When their power is weak, they replace ordinary people or figures and do rubbish behind the scenes.

They were the ones who didn’t notice when their power increased to a certain extent, and when they reached more than half, they didn’t notice and committed evil deeds to their heart’s content for their own satisfaction.

Looking at the double attitude of the guys who were different on the outside and inside, I felt the disgusting smell piercing my nose and riding up.

“When I look at you, there is one animal that comes to mind.”

“really? May I ask you something?”

“mosquito.”

“Oh, Mogira. That’s a pretty interesting point of view. Why did you think that?”

“When I lie down to sleep, my ears annoy me, and all sorts of diseases and germs move around despite living in human society.

Mortgages are perfect in that they suck the blood of healthy people in order to survive, and if there is no blood to suck, they starve. is not it?”

“… … .”

Hearing my words, Professor Hemes raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“The request has been well received.”

“Requirements?”

“Mogira… You have chosen a fairly challenging animal.”

“… … .”

“Well, let’s try. Although the departments are different, isn’t it still a teacher-disciple relationship? … Because I also wanted to make a mosquito human someday.”

Say it your way

I was ready to pierce the throat of the professor who was uttering shameless voices as if I had already won.

After making a path with arcane magic and aiming at Professor Hemes’ throat, he fired his light magic, radiance, in a straight line into his throat.

“First, let’s get that dog head off.”

A white ray of light from his fingertips flew straight down Hayes’ neck, separating the head and body of the man who was talking loudly like a mosquito.

Exactly, that’s what I was thinking of doing.

Until a terrible monstrosity appeared out of sight, blocking his body and giving him the brilliance he should have received instead.

“Turn it off… Goo… Gaak… !”

With a loud noise, he stepped between Himes and me, and each of the dozens of heads that hung on his body let out their own cries.

“Hey, hey… !”

“What, what is that!”

“What is it? It’s my masterpiece.”

Urzul.

In other words, a corpse giant.

The guy who looked like a twisted mixture of dozens of human souls and bodies was truly enough to be called a ‘terrible hybrid’.

“Somehow, the head doesn’t seem to match the number of bodies. They were making something like this in the back.”

“Absolutely. Even if you leave the limbs of an ordinary human in moderation, it is not a waste at all, but the energy of a human soul is over 70% of the entire body.

You can’t easily throw away a single soul. Well, it was a bit difficult to merge the souls without dark magic.”

The appearance of a corpse giant in this situation was not very good news.

If the corpse giant started running wild in the confined space, it would pose a considerable threat to the saintess and Miss Willia.

Fortunately, the corpse giant he created was not a complete form, but a half-form that was patched together to maintain its moderate form.

“I will entrust Saint Clare’s protection to Miss Willia. I will deal with the corpse giant.”

“all right!”

I entrusted Saint Claire’s escort to Willia, and I solidified the strategy by dealing with the corpse giant and Professor Hemes.

Even in my previous life, the experience of killing that much guy was strong, so of course it was much easier for me to deal with him.

“You seem pretty confident. It is still my best work.”

“If you see that a lump of rags made by someone who is lacking somewhere is the best work, it means that the level of the experiment you made is only up to that point.”

“… You will specially cut it into pieces for each part and use it as a test subject. Everything, not even a fingernail or toenail left.”

“If you can, try it.”

When I laughed at the guy who was making unfunny threats, the smile on his gentle mask distorted.

“Mash him, Urzul.”

Then he immediately waved at the corpse giant and commanded it to attack me.

“Guy… Gaa… Gaak!”

Dozens of pupils on its body stared at me at the same time, and the two arms attached to its huge body swung down from top to bottom.

It was an unimaginably fast movement from that size.

It’s probably consuming the energy of the souls it contains, and making movements possible that would otherwise be impossible in practice.

“Mr. Conrad!”

“Dangerous!”

The eyes of the two people who were fighting the other test subjects except for Urzul reached me, and at the same time, both of them spoke as if they were worried about me.

It was an interest that I was grateful for in my own way, but it was a useless worry if I had to argue with it.

“Gwu… go… huh?”

The fist of the guy who tried to hit me on the head couldn’t reach my body and scattered into many pieces.

It was only to return the pieces of the bodies of several people who had been forcibly attached to their original state.

“… uh?”

Embarrassed by the unexpected situation, Professor Heims let out a bewildered voice, but he ignored it and continued the reverse calculation of arcane magic toward the corpse giant.

It seems that various elements were forcibly added to connect several souls, but there was no other monster that was made more sloppy than this.

Each time the reverse calculation proceeded, the lump of arcane magic that was forcibly connected was separated, and one huge corpse giant eventually fell completely into several original body fragments.

“How did you do it? The fusion must have been perfect.”

“Since I can’t use dark magic, is it fusion that I forcibly patched it up with arcane magic? If this is fusion, what happens on the kitchen frying pan is also fusion, you idiot.”

“… … .”

“Since earlier, all of the test subjects you created are like this. It’s just that you yourself are lacking in ability, so you deliberately create a chimera that shows off so that you don’t get caught, right?”

“… What?”

“Looking at the expression, it seems to fit properly.”

Most of the guys who use dark magic focused on strengthening their bodies, but the chimeras created by Heims were far from that.

It could be explained that they created something that could protect themselves, but to say that, they were all chimeras with clear weaknesses.

Willia Yang, an escort knight at a young age, could never defend or protect herself with a Chimera that cuts down.

He just wants to stand out.

Despite lacking the ability to handle dark magic, he just wanted to be acknowledged by the apostles of other dark churches.

“Seeing that even those who can’t handle dark magic properly belong to the Church, a manpower shortage is definitely a manpower shortage.”

“… … .”

“If it was the standard of an academy student, incompetence like you would have been expelled long ago, but I don’t know how you are working as a professor with that ability.”

“… … .”

“Ah, by any chance you aren’t originally Professor Hemes, are you the kind of guy who steals the professor’s body and pretends to be a professor?”

“… Kick.”

At my words, Haymes let out a self-deprecating laugh and immediately started rummaging through the pockets of his lab coat.

“Yes, you are right. I’m incompetent like you said, and I can’t handle dark magic properly.”

“… … .”

“But what is it like? Even if you knew that, it wouldn’t change anything.”

A mechanical device with a single button protruded from Haymes’ pocket.

It looked a little different from the device used when initially blocking the escape route, and it seemed to be used for other places than opening and closing passages.

“Sleep gas spray button.”

The words that came out of his mouth were enough to make me nervous.

“If you press this button, this small space will be filled with sleeping gas right away. How long can you guys without sleep resistance survive?”

“… … .”

“Look forward to what happens after you wake up. Everyone will make you look beautiful.”

It was a bit risky.

A sleep-tolerant person would, of course, survive whether or not they inhaled sleeping gas, and on the contrary, we were more likely to fall asleep and fall asleep.

If I could spread the wind magic around my body at the same time as the sleeping gas spread, I would still be able to buy a minute or so.

With that thought in mind, right before he pressed the switch, I prepared to generate wind pressure magic around me.

One moment was enough.

To extinguish his soul and end everything.

“Good night, have a nice dream.”

Click.

On the big round red button, the guy’s finger moved once.

I was nervous that the switch might be opening somewhere, but somehow it felt like nothing happened even after the button was pressed.

There was no sound of something opening or closing, no visible smoke or smell, no changing flow of mana, everything was the same.

“… uh?”

Click. Click.

Haymes’s fingers became urgent.

Judging by the reaction, it seemed that it was not my illusion, but a phenomenon that was actually caused by a malfunction.

Click. Click. Click.

Every time Haymes’ fingers moved up and down, only the tin can of machinery reverberated through the room several times.

“Damn it! Why is this all of a sudden… !”

“So, you should have taken good care of it normally.”

Someone muttered that to him who was flustered.

At the end of her gaze, which reached the direction where the voice came from, there was Saint Clare who continued her speech with a determined expression.

“It’s not that rare for mechanical devices that aren’t used often to break.”

“… A saint?”

“So, wouldn’t it be one of the ‘destinies’ that could happen to your device right now?”

The boy’s face was stained with despair.

He seemed to know that she was a saint of destiny, but he certainly didn’t know that his last resort would be stopped like this.

Her power, which she had told her to save just in case, was being used at the best moment.

“Are you done now?”

“Now, wait a minute. trade from now on. I won’t hold you accountable for destroying my test subject, so turn around and leave the room.

Otherwise, you will see a rough face with another rain, a secret weapon that I have hidden… .”

The relaxed look from a moment ago was nowhere to be seen, and it was obvious to anyone that he was perplexed.

“Haims, I’m sorry, but.”

“Are you listening to me? If I really come closer than this, I have no choice but to show my skills!”

“The goddess of fate seems to be on my side.”

The blade of the broadsword was embedded in the location where Heims’ soul was.

Perhaps the last trump he said was a realistic corpse play.

It was the moment when all battles came to an end.
