28 Six, penetration one.

Hundreds of meters ahead, a huge, black-painted hall rises.

Valerie's Institute of Magic Guidance, in the border zone between the Kingdom of Larva and the Principality of Liju...

Going deep into the woods, we finally got there.

I've never been here before, but when I was his apprentice, I'd only heard about the institute.

He said the invasion of other wizards was endless, aiming at the fruits of Valerie's magic research.

As a result, many protective magic has been applied to doors, walls, and even to the interior.

"Let's go."

I called on Shea and Yulin.

Go straight ahead.

Sure, that main entrance unleashed thunderbolt magic when the intruder approached within 30 meters.

Exploring memories, such as…, my eyes were covered in a blue and white glow.

Probably the power of the advanced magic 'Thunderblast'.

The surrounding ground explodes and burns.

Two, three more shots...

We went flat in the relentless rain of lightning.

All the lightning that touched me within ten meters of my perimeter is gone.

[Fixed damage] does 9999 damage to the attack itself.

Though "Thunderblast," they are not immune to extinction.

A lightning bolt that lands more than ten meters away scatters blast light, but ignores it and advances.

Eventually we reached the front of the iron door.

You cannot destroy this door with [fixed damage].

Because if it isn't just a creature hostile to me or an attack on me, it won't be targeted for damage.

These mere doors, walls, etc. cannot be subjected to [fixed damage].

Shea, can I ask for it?

"Yes, Master Chrome"

Sia, who nodded respectfully, pulls out her sword.

The body was covered in a black glow.

It's the glow of the [Darkness] skill [Amputation] I gave her.

Shea shook down the sword, a meter thick, cleaved a certain iron door like butter.

We moved on without labor.

Through the gate, the passage stretches about fifty meters to the entrance.

On its left and right, there was a line of statues of warcraft.

"Well, that feels like it."

Whoa, whoa.

Sounds, growls.

The group of stone statues rocked themselves and turned to us as real warcraft.

Gargoyles are replacements for guards.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

The next moment, they screamed.

All the Warcraft that came within my skill effect were 9999 damaged and scattered.

Only countless debris was left behind.

"We're going in."

I turned all the gargoyles coming at me into rubble as I went straight.

There was also a door at the entrance with magic for repelling intruders, but this was also cleared by the same procedure as the main entrance.

We went inside the building.

Inside the lab, magic traps were set everywhere.

Attack magic pours down the moment it passes through a particular place.

Alternatively, a part of the wall cracks and a monster replaces the guard emerges from it.

But no matter how powerful magic you get, no matter how strong the monster stands, it's none of my business.

All magic can be erased.

Monsters are also instant kills if they get within range, unless they are demon kings or nearby classes.

I went along with Shea and Yurin while [Fixed Damage] wiped out all attack magic and monsters to the encounter.

Destination is the deepest part of the institute.

They say there's a dedicated lab in Valerie.

Currently, he has seven disciples who, along with them, carry out various magic studies and experiments in this institute.

... a bunch of outrageous human experiments.

Those who have been the victims of experiments, those who have suffered severe physical and mental sequelae, those who have been modified into monsters, the severe pain, grief, resentment, despair caused by them...

It's a bunch of stories that just make my chest feel bad.

I wonder what it's like for Valerie to impose a 'Chain of Darkness' spell on me.

Now I guess there's no emotion either.

A bunch of outrages that I can be so sure of.

"Wait, Valerie."

I keep walking, biting my back teeth off.

Forward, again, like whipping on a leg decayed by his spell.

"I'll make you get paid......!

Erase the guard replacement monster with [fixed damage], tear the wall with Shea's [cut], and proceed at the shortest distance.

"After all, it's amazing......!

Yurin was counting on me and Shea.

"Continue to ask for directions. My purpose is to avenge Valerie, but you should want to lift the spell you put on yourself. Let's start with the disarm method."

And me.

"All of you intruders!

"You know this is the institute of the wise Valerie!

From the front of the aisle, two wizards appeared.

The distance is about 20 meters.

"What about those guys?

"It's Valerie's... disciples. We principally managed our subjects…"

Yurin's voice is trembling.

"They don't treat subjects like humans, they break them like tools, they kill them... they're horrible people"

It's a blue face.

"It's okay, Yulin."

Shea hugged her.

"We'll protect you."

"Now you're here to deprive your master of his research results!

Valerie's disciples shouted.

"Let it be! For my dear master, I will take you here and now."

"Naturally! As a testament to my love for Master Valerie!

Two beautiful boy wizards point their canes at me as I dye my cheeks inadvertently.

... Speaking of which, I heard rumors that Valerie has a male hobby.

When I was at the brave party, didn't you stretch your forefinger against me because I was simply not his preference?

"'Fireblast'!

"'Windblast'!

The two have been shooting each advanced magic of flames and winds.

Besides, it's unchanging.

─ ─ Don't do it.

My prowess as a wizard would be better than mine when I was at a brave party.

Probably the court magician class of the great powers.

That's just about Valerie's apprentice.

"But..."

Raging flames, swirling winds.

The moment he reached a distance of ten meters from me, he became a particle of countless lights and vanished.
