Chapter 476: Exiting The Dungeon And Capturing The Professor
"Alright, let's move!"
I said after I have Victoria transformed into a black armor to cover my body. I'm going as the Living Armor who killed the Giant Salamander back then. During the Stampede at Melk.
But this time, I'm much stronger. If there's a similar Giant Salamander, I can kill it with one hit this time. Though what we will face are most likely humans, there are still possibilities of monsters they are experimenting to fight us.
"Oh, it has been a long time since back then. Do you wear fishnet stocking under there?" Kron asked.
"No way!" I replied.
"But I can transform into one if you want to," Victoria said.
"NO WAY!" I replied again.
That time, when we finished taking care of the Giant Salamander, she transformed the armor so I only wear the upper part of the armor, while my pants under there was lifted up so people can see me with my fishnet stocking. That was embarrassing. And Kron remembers it.
About that fishnet stocking that can endure fire, right now, Kayla is the one wearing it under her pants. And seeing her wearing it, I gave her a thumb up.
Kayla noticed that I'm giving her a thumb up, and realized what I meant. She just replied with another thumb up from her.
"Kayla. What was that? You communicate with Master without a word?" Jewel asked.
"It's something you can do with someone you know well. If you know what's in his mind while he did some gesture to you, it's easy to figure out what it is he's doing," Kayla replied.
I guess Jewel doesn't know about me wearing a fishnet stocking. That's good. I don't want to be seen as a weird Master by my own disciple.
…I'm already weird though? So, I guess it's fine. What I don't want is to be seen as a pervert who wears fishnet stocking as a hobby.
We run up to get closer to the exit. And as we run closer to the exit, I can see more people. And the building up there is tall. But I haven't seen anyone wearing yellow, or anyone with Black Slime in their body.
And as we run, we have fewer and fewer people. Because the agents would split up to continue investigate the place we missed, while we continue running toward the exit.
It's good so far because no one seems to notice that we are coming. Though there is a place near the tall building with a lot of goo inside. I guess there will be a fight. But with this many people, it should not be a problem.
"I can see the exit! Melee fighters! Stay at the front!"
Slowly, the people outside the exit realized that people are getting closer to the entrance of the dungeon. They were not quite prepared. I guess they are at most just expert level mages.
Hah! Just expert level mages? The me in the past would think of them as people I would never think I'd be able to surpass. But now, they are just enemies I can kill easily as long as I remain focused.
I won't let down my guard, but I will still focus more on capturing the Professor. And with so many of us here, we can defeat any average expert level mages.
Even one werewolf or one vampire is enough to fight one expert level mage. Though for the angels, it will be difficult for them in a one on one fight. But they are more of a healer than a fighter.
"There's an attack from the dungeon!"
I heard one of the people outside shouting. Must be the guard. Shouldn't they know that we're going to attack them? At least that's what I think from the letter from the Professor.
But I guess it has been so long since they think we're going to attack, and they let down their guards. Maybe they think that we're not going to do anything because the tournament is near. Especially since the Professor should know that I'm getting along with Kayla, Angela, and most of the finalist of the college tournament back then. So, he thinks that I, the master of the Black Slime, is going to Consenza because my friends will participate.
But that means there's a high chance that he won't be here. Well, let's look for him for now. I'll ask Sonia and Spot to watch over if they see anyone yellow getting closer to the Consenza.
The guards are all earth mages. They prepared to block the exit using their magic. But that won't be a problem for us.
They might want to use powerful magic to trap us inside the dungeon and destroy the exit. But we have the most powerful mage below master level mage here. Angela.
"I'll take care of them!"
Angela flew above our heads toward the exit, and used magic stop the magic of the enemies. They are not strong enough to handle Angela.
A tsunami of soil killed the guards easily. Angela won't hold back now that we're closer to the end of this mission. Though some of the guards are wind mages who can fly, so they weren't affected.
But we managed to get out of the dungeon. Let's get to the tall building now. I can see everything clearly again, and I see someone at the top of the building. He's quickly changing his clothes to a normal white lab coat and disguising himself in panic. But I know he's the Professor from the inside of his body.
"Fire mages and werewolves! You will go to that place and destroy all the goos there! As for the rest, go to that building over there! Graham! Shelia! You two will come with me and greet the Professor."
Fire magic is the most effective magic against the goo. And the werewolves will be the one finishing them once they are transformed into human being. After that, if I take too long to put a Blobby inside their body to make their organ function properly, they will die. That's why I need to get to the Professor first if I want to help everyone.
Kayla, Jewel, and the others who are not fire mages, entered the building through the front door. There were some expert level mages guarding the place. But they won't be difficult to handle.
The difficult ones are in the middle of the building. There are multiple mohawks standing by there. And they are not sleeping. Unlike the mohawks I see when I first entered the underground lab previously.
But since they haven't made any move, we can progress with the mission. And even if they tried to fight, Kayla and the others should be able to hold them back until I finished capturing the Professor.
As for Graham, Shelia, and I, we directly go to the top floor of the building. We flew over there right away while the Professor is alone there. No one is here to protect him.
As we reached the height of the highest floor, I smashed the wall with Victohammer. I'm pretending to be a living armor, so I won't speak. And I will only use hammer as a weapon for now.
"Uwaaa! M-Monsters are here! Guards!"
Seems like the Professor has no battle strength. Other than experimenting and research, he's weak in everything else.
There's Black Slime inside his body. Which mean I can't knock him out. But I already told Graham and Shelia that we won't try to knock him out, or killing him. So, they need to restrain him.
The two quickly grabbed the Professor's arms and legs, and I wrapped a Magic Restricting Collar around his neck. Even if he's weak, it's still better if we make sure he won't be able to use magic. But that might not be enough, so I stripped him naked. He might have some magic tools with him after all.
"What is it? An angel? A werewolf? And a Living Armor? Who the hell managed to get you all under their control!?"
Me. The one you think as Living Armor. Though I won't say anything yet.
I injected a needle into his body, with Victoria. This way, I can directly absorb the Black Slime's clone. Since it was the clone of the Black Slime from a long time ago, Victoria can't absorb them from afar like her clones. That's why I can only do this.
"You! You're absorbing the slime from my body! No!"
Now that all the slime inside his body has been taken, I smack him in the head lightly. And he got knocked out unconscious just like that.
Oh, no. Two mohawks are approaching. I have to be quick before we start fighting.
The fainted Professor got transported to Tatrama where Albert can interrogate him. He won't expect that the king will interrogate him as he will think that the king should be going to Consenza. But that's just a body double. The real king is still staying in Tatrama, until I am ready to use portal to transport him to Consenza.
"Shelia! Graham! Two mohawks approaching. I will only fight with hammer for now. So, Shelia will fight one alone, and for the other one, Graham, his shadow clone, and I will fight. I will still pretend that I can't talk. Let's kill them all so we can go home."
Our real mission is over. But now, we will fight artificial master level mages. Not the goo, but the mohawk.
I can see several mohawks are splitting up to fight other people. There might be casualties in this fight.. Though I hope it won't be my friends who died.
