Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 96 Magical Scientist Richard
Scorching hot magma flowed everywhere and the air was filled with the smell of sulfur.

Hundreds of parasitic demons formed a loose and crowded team, jumping and running on the charred magma shell.

As the weakest creature in the abyss, the parasite's combat power is quite weak. A single parasite poses little threat, just like a stray dog. As long as you are careful of its sharp teeth and spear-like tail, any adult with a weapon can easily defeat it.

In fact, when their numbers are small, parasitic demons are more inclined to play coward and run away, and will never actively attack humans.

But once the number of parasitic demons increases, things will be different.

Parasitic demons that gather in large groups will sweep around like aggressive locusts, killing all non-abyss creatures they see - in some cases, they will even kill abyss creatures.

The parasites kill for fun, not for survival or food. For these tribes of the abyss, doing things that please the abyss is an instinct engraved in their souls, which makes them feel happy - killing is one of them.

Hundreds of parasitic demons already meet the concept of a large number in the perception of parasitic demons.

They emit a gurgling resonant sound from a unique vocal cavity in their abdomen to keep themselves and their companions in a state of excitement. In this state, their sense of smell and vision will be enhanced, making it easier for them to find prey.

Sniff!

At this moment, the largest parasitic demon among the group of parasitic demons twitched its nose twice and suddenly raised its head.

"Gu! I smell humans!" He drooled from the corners of his mouth and let out a sharp roar. "Gugugugugu~"

Following his strange shout, the other parasitic demons turned in his direction and shouted along with him.

"Go!" The big parasite flapped its wings excitedly and rushed towards the direction of the human scent. All his companions shouted loudly and followed closely behind him.

After crossing a lava lake, the parasitic demons soon saw a human tribe in a cave.

Those humans were wrapped in animal skins and holding crude stone weapons, looking very weak. This perfectly triggered the bullying genes in the parasitic demons, instantly putting them into hunting mode.

"Go! Kill them all!"

The parasitic demons drooled, widened their eyes, and chattered as they rushed towards the cave.

"Demon, the demon is coming!" The humans in the cave fled in panic and failed to organize any decent resistance. Only a few humans dared to take out their fragile stone weapons to face the army of parasitic demons, but those ridiculous weapons seemed so powerless in the face of the number of parasitic demons.

The big parasite was hiding among his companions, watching a man guarding a cave. The handle of his spear was bitten by another parasite with its teeth. He was trying hard to push the spear out, and the parasite was also pushing him into the cave. The two sides were in a stalemate.

Plop. The big parasite drooled and its eyes widened in excitement.

The second thing that parasitic demons like to do is bully the weak, and their favorite thing to do is take advantage of others in distress!
Gu! The big parasitic demon swung its tail and rushed over at high speed.

"Ah!" Amid the man's terrified screams, the giant parasitic demon climbed up his thighs, went around behind him, stabbed its sharp claws into the muscles on his back, and then suddenly poked the back of his head with its tail!
Chi!

The tail of the great parasite demon pierced through the man's head and came out from his forehead. Red blood and brain matter as white as tofu gushed out.

The man's eye sockets instantly burst open from the pressure and he fell straight to the ground.

"Hass Hass" Another parasitic demon looked at the dead man, sticking out his tongue and breathing heavily. The pleasure of killing made its body twitch with excitement.

The Great Parasite threw the man's body to his companions, allowing him to enjoy the fragrance of death to his heart's content.

It's not that the big parasite is particularly generous, but he is experienced and knows that the cave guarded by the man contains the most delicious food.

He licked the blood off his tail and went into the cave with red eyes.

Sure enough, on the bed in the cave, a thin woman was holding another thin little girl in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

That's it! Torturing weak human women and children will make them scream miserably, and the taste is much sweeter than killing adult men.

"Has! Haas!" The parasitic demon took frog steps and swung its tail excitedly.

"Ah! Don't come over here! Help!" The scream of the adult woman was so pleasant to the ears of the parasitic demon.

Gulu.

The smile on his face gradually became perverted and his body became hotter and hotter.

Suddenly, the little girl took out a magic book from under her skirt and threw an arrow made of magic power at the parasitic demon!
The parasitic demon was startled and tried to duck, but failed to avoid it.

The magic arrow hit the parasitic demon's skin hard, causing it to feel severe pain all over its body!

The big parasitic demon, as long as the little girl uses magic again, he will be torn into pieces.

Fortunately, after the little girl released the magic, the magic book became dim and she leaned weakly in her mother's arms.

Seeing the little girl wilted after releasing magic once, the frightened giant parasite finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hehe, you can do magic! That's amazing! I was shocked.

Are you good at fighting? Why don't you continue to cast magic? Do you have no more magic points?"

The parasitic demon laughed sinisterly. Its mouth moved, and its body rose and fell, actually absorbing some magic power from the elemental energy emitted by the magic arrow in the air!
The parasitic demon formed these magical powers into a light blue magic ball. It looked at the girl excitedly and said with a grin:

"Do you see this magic power? As long as you get this magic power, you can release magic again. Maybe this time the magic can kill me."

"Do you want it? Do you really want this magic power?"

Gugua!

The parasitic demon opened its mouth, stuffed the magic light ball into its mouth and swallowed it.

"Hass, I won't give it to you even if I eat it!"

"I am eating magic power now, and I will eat you next!"

The parasitic demon was trembling with excitement. He felt that his threat was terrible and the little girl must be trembling with fear.

But when he looked at the little girl, he was surprised to find that she had no expression on her face. She and her mother were not frightened, but their expressions gradually became holy.

The parasitic demon rubbed his eyes, and the little girl's body actually emitted white light. She and her mother transformed from flesh and blood into sculptures bit by bit in the white light.

"Huh?" The parasitic demon was shocked and his consciousness suddenly became clear!
There was no incitement, no army of parasitic demons, everything disappeared, and he was tied to the white pillars of the church. Directly opposite him was the statue of the Virgin Mary holding a little girl.

"Are you awake?" Richard glanced at the parasitic demon and took out the red-hot scalpel from the alcohol lamp with an expressionless face.

He walked up to the parasitic demon and whispered to him, "Be patient, it will be fine soon. Hang in there, don't die." What will be fine? What don't die?
Looking at this strange wizard, the parasitic demon hadn't reacted yet when suddenly a heart-wrenching pain came from his body.

"Gu!!!" The parasitic demon was shaking with pain and his eyes were almost popping out.

Richard actually used a scalpel to cut off the parasitic demon's tail!
"Okay! Calm down." Richard clapped his hands on the base of the parasitic demon's tail. The glow of healing magic flashed, instantly raising the health of the already dying parasitic demon.

He patted the parasitic demon's head and said softly, "The experiment continues."

The parasitic demon looked at Richard in horror. When they first looked at each other, he was caught in the deep light in Richard's eyes. His head tilted and he fainted.

Seeing the parasitic demon's eyes turn white and fall into the illusion again, Richard nodded secretly.

The physiques of parasitic demons cannot be generalized, but this one's physique is exceptionally good. He has even had his sixth vital organ cut off, yet he is still able to survive.

Richard looked at the tray under the parasite. His ears, wings, hands, feet, stomach and intestines were all on it.

"The one hundred and thirty-seventh experiment. A total of one hundred and thirty-six organs have been excluded. I am getting closer and closer to the truth."

Richard looked at his experimental notes. The drawings on them clearly divided the parasite into 186 parts, most of which he had already ruled out.

Richard was not torturing the parasite, he had no interest in that, he was just doing an experiment.

……

Parasitic demons are very weak creatures of the abyss. Their claws are not sharp, their physique is not good, and their individual combat power is quite average, but they have a very interesting stunt.

[Magic Siphon: The parasitic demon can recover magic points from the magic cast by surrounding spellcasters and transfer them to the spellcasting soldiers of the party that need magic points. There is no limit to the number of times it can be used. ]

Because of the existence of the [Magic Siphon] skill, the weak parasitic demons always occupy a place in the organization of the abyss.

In the world of Yasa, all creatures with sufficient combat power are called soldiers.

Most of the soldiers have their own unique special abilities, which are called [skills].

Among mages, most of them believed that the special skills of a type of soldiers were special rules bestowed by the world on the soldiers, and were inherent attributes of the soldiers themselves, and could not be analyzed artificially - because countless mages had tried to analyze the special skills of a type of soldiers, but all ended in failure.

Richard disagreed with this view, he believed that the special skills of the soldiers could also be analyzed as magic. The reason why no one succeeded was that the mages used the wrong analysis method.

"I saw it in Mr. Kappa's ancient book. There is a precedent for turning a soldier's special skills into magic.

The powerful demigod magic [Vampire Touch] is the product of analyzing the vampire's blood-sucking ability. However, those mainstream mages have always refused to admit this fact.

Because the magic of [Vampire's Touch] has been lost, they deny the existence of this magic by calling it a drama made up by bards.

It’s extremely stupid.”

Vampire's Touch

Use it on your own troops to automatically heal their own injuries and revive their teammates when they attack the enemy at close range. The health restored is half of the attack damage. 】

“I think that the mages in the Yasha world always study the arms as a whole, so it is difficult to find the key to the special skills of the arms.

But I think that the special skills of a soldier should be produced by a certain organ or the combined action of certain organs in the soldier's body.

Only by studying this or these organs can we turn a soldier's special skills into magic.

Of course, my opinions are just opinions, not facts.

To prove the correctness of my point of view, I have to rely on experiments.

This kind of experiment to study the special skills of a type of soldier can only be a destructive experiment on the soldier, and is a kind of evil experiment. It is easy to be mistaken for a necromancer if you do this kind of experiment.

When I was in the research institute, I didn’t have the time to conduct such an experiment because I had too many colleagues. But when I arrived at the unsupervised Saint Laurent Prison, I felt like a fish in water. ”

“I am a Star Ring Mage. I don’t have any magic points of my own and can only obtain magic power from the outside.

This is my biggest limitation.

Therefore, the skill of [Magic Siphon] is very important to me.

If I could enchant [Magic Siphon], I could recycle mana from the magic I cast and the magic others cast.

It's like I have a way to continuously replenish my magic points."

"Use illusion magic to stimulate the parasitic demon, so that the parasitic demon will fall into an illusion that allows it to use the [Magic Siphon] skill.

Then cut off the Parasite's body parts piece by piece until the Parasite can no longer use the [Magic Siphon] skill.

Gradually, the necessary organs for the parasitic demon to release [Magic Siphon] were identified.

For example.

Cut off the Parasite's hands. If the Parasite can still release [Magic Siphon] in the illusion, it proves that hands are not necessary organs for the Parasite to release [Magic Siphon].

If it is an organ that may cause the death of the parasite, then after it is removed, a mechanical organ will be used to replace it and continue the experiment.

After removing the Parasite's heart and replacing it with a mechanical heart, the Parasite can still release [Magic Siphon]. This proves that the heart is not a necessary organ for the Parasite to release [Magic Siphon].

In this way, the parasitic demon is gradually dismembered until all the necessary organs are found.

The sacrifices of the parasitic demons before have allowed me to find one of the necessary organs for [Magic Siphon] - the gallbladder of the parasitic demon. This proves that my idea is feasible.

Unfortunately, I have already ruled out most of the organs that are not likely to cause death, and the remaining ones are those with a higher mortality rate after removal.

Fortunately, I encountered this parasitic demon with tenacious vitality, otherwise my experiment would be difficult to continue.

Listen to me, thank you, because of you, the four seasons are warm..."

Richard looked at the parasitic demon immersed in the illusion, his eyes kind and full of gratitude.

In this holy church, Richard's shadow completely covered the parasitic demon. At this moment, the relationship between the demon and the human seemed to be reversed.

The statue of the Virgin Mary holding the girl has a face full of compassion, but no one knows who she is compassionating for.
