Chapter 375 Case Closed

?Professor Onar’s body slowly shrunk until it became a wrinkled husk.

Even in his last moments, he was unable to believe that he died because he simply trusted someone who was working in the same field as him.

He thought that he found a like-minded person who appreciated Magical Creatures and the complex roles they played in the world.

Unfortunately, his thoughts had been wrong.

Kelric took advantage of his kindness and controlled his mind and body, robbing him of free will.

Not only that, Kelric also used him as a living sacrifice to take him one step closer to his goal of becoming immortal.

And with that, one of the most compassionate and outstanding Professors of Dawnbreaker Academy died a pitiful death at the hands of a greedy person, who didn’t treat him as a friend.

A sigh escaped Kelric’s lips as he watched Onar’s blood empower the chains that bound the Dragon’s Egg.

As if feeling that its life was in danger, the egg started to shake left and right, trying to break free from the chains that bound it.

Unfortunately, it didn’t have the strength to get away from its bindings as the Magic Circle used Professor Onar’s blood to extract the life force that it possessed.

Kelric felt very giddy when he saw this, knowing that Dragons could live for over a thousand years.

His original assessment of gaining dozens of years of lifespan was him thinking pessimistically.

But if he thought optimistically, he could gain hundreds of years, perhaps even more than a thousand, once the Dragon’s Egg was fully drained of its blood and life force.

A red chain then pierced through Kelric’s chest, making him stagger and take a few steps back. However, despite the pain he was feeling, there was also a sense of euphoria the moment the power of the Dragon Egg began to flow inside his body.

His hair started to grow back and turn black, and his wrinkled skin became smooth again. Slowly but surely, he was regaining his youth, making him feel ecstatic.

But just as he thought that he had finally succeeded, two Tridents and a Spear flew inside the cave and destroyed the chains that bound the Dragon Egg.

A few seconds later, a hateful draconic roar reverberated in the surroundings, causing Kelric’s eyes to widen in shock.

‘H-How?!’ Kelric thought in panic as the cave started to shake.

It was as if someone or something was trying to crack it open by force.

“So this is where you’ve been hiding.”

A voice filled with killing intent made Kelric’s heart shudder.

It was at that moment that he saw a middle-aged man enter the cave. The latter gave the Draconic Egg a sidelong glance before looking at the wrinkled dead body of Professor Onar, who just died several minutes ago.

“I’m sorry. We came a bit late,” Professor Barret said before taking out his wand.

“Leviticus.”

The Dragon Egg started to float toward the entrance of the cave, where Ethan, Henry, and an angered Eizenth, who was trying to demolish the cave to retrieve her egg, were waiting.

The moment she saw her egg, Eizenth immediately stopped what she was doing and grabbed hold of her child.

She then used her Draconic Magic to check its condition. Only after a minute did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Although her unborn child had been weakened, there was no immediate danger to its life. Realizing this, Elder Dragon finally relaxed after many days of feeling anxious.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, Professor Barret and Kelric were fighting against each other.

Kelric cast powerful offensive spells with the intention of killing his opponent.

Professor Barret, on the other hand, calmly dealt with his blows while throwing a few binding spells of his own.

His plan was to capture Kelric alive and interrogate him using a special method that he had developed when he was still active as a Magistratus.

Also, he needed to pay for his crimes, especially for the crime of killing Professor Onar.

“Why did you have to come?!” Kelric roared in anger and frustration. “I was so close to achieving immortality. Why do you have to get in my way?!”

“Oh? So you want immortality?” Professor Barret sneered. “I see. So you are one of those fools who are afraid of dying, huh? Well, it doesn’t matter. Your ambition will end today.”

“Damn you!” Kelric then took out a magic scroll from his storage ring and threw it on the ground.

A moment later, a Fire Elemental materialized and unleashed a flame breath in Professor Barret’s direction.

However, a blue flame wrapped around the Professor’s body, shielding him from the flames that were meant to incinerate him.

Professor Barret had several defensive artifacts in his possession, but seeing the familiar blue flames, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

“I’ll deal with the Fire Elemental,” Professor Barret stated. “The two of you, capture this criminal.”

““Yes, Professor!””

Ethan and Henry immediately went into action and charged toward Kelric from his left and right sides.

Henry threw a silver dagger toward Professor Onar’s killer, but the other party simply waved his wand, deflecting the dagger with an Earth Spike that jutted out of the ground.

“Rising Dragon Surging Strike!”

Ethan, on the other hand, pitched his Sea God’s Trident, which had transformed into a Water Dragon.

Kelric stomped his foot on the ground, giving rise to several layers of Earth Walls in front of him.

However, the force of Ethan’s blow crushed everything that stood in its way, forcing Kelric to jump and roll to his left side, evading the attack.

Just as he was about to stand up, he saw the shiny glint of a dagger flying past his face in slow motion.

Suddenly, the space around the dagger warped, and the next thing he knew, there was a shoe headed straight toward his face.

A scream of pain echoed inside the cave as Henry’s kick connected, breaking Kelric’s nose.

Henry then made a chopping action towards the older man’s right wrist, forcing him to drop his wand.

With quick and experienced movements, he kicked the wand away, before delivering an uppercut to Kelric’s chin, making the latter rise up for a few meters in the air before landing on the ground, unconscious.

Blood dripped out from the corner of the older man’s lips as Henry looked down on him to make sure that he was out cold.

Only when he was certain that Kelric would not be waking up anytime soon did he take out a magical rope from his utility belt, which was imbued with spatial magic, allowing him to store things inside it like his daggers.

Just as soon as he finished tying up the thief who was the mastermind of it all, the Fire Elemental that Professor Barret was fighting against exploded in a shower of sparks.

The Ex-Magistratus then nodded in Ethan’s and Henry’s direction, acknowledging them for a job well done.

“Let’s go,” Professor Barret said in a firm tone. “Case closed.”
