Chapter 66
"Found ..." - concentrating on one particular aura, Aidan immediately noticed the entertainer of all this. Seemingly a simple person, the young magician could not recognize his magic, but in the course of life and dark thoughts bordering on madness, Aidan immediately identified this "dark magician." He was either dying or too old. His life was on the edge, and it smelled like death. But, this is only at first glance, there was something nasty in him and it gave him access to the changed energy. Quite an interesting case ... Aidan faced such a first, but instinctively understood the position of his opponent. This man seemed to be alive, but some parts of his body barely conducted vital energy.
Chuckling, Aidan looked down sharply at the guy with the harpy mark and sighed softly.
- You are already dead, like your friends ...
- Yes ... Be careful this freak in the tower and ... - the guy did not have time to finish, Aidan abruptly grabbed his chin and extended his hand to his eyeball:
- Turn away! - Aidan threw the girls and sharply thrust his fingers into the guy's eye socket. He screeched heart-rendingly, but the guy did not stop, not a single muscle flinched on his face - he knew exactly what to do! Mira and Erza covered their mouths with their hands in shock and immediately turned away. They didn't even understand what was happening! Why did he suddenly grab it ?!
In turn, Aidan pulled this man over and tore out the eyeball, but nothing ended there, something long and slimy stretched behind the blood and nerves, it was a thick bloody worm, his whole body was covered with green veins and he was as thick as a finger ... As for its length ... Aidan abruptly let go of the guy's skull and kicked his head with all his might, pulling the worm towards himself. Finally, a two-meter tape slipped out of the skull, and then the man's body collapsed as a dead weight.
After such a ruthless procedure, the wizard simply died - all his vital signs immediately stopped. But the worm began to wriggle irritably, its head-eye twitched and turned green. Aidan, on the other hand, grabbed the alleged head tighter and peered into the clouded pupil, saying with a grin:
- Impressive! What else will you show me ... - a strange squeak was heard from the eye and he immediately began to become covered with bloody streaks, Aidan just sighed:
- How nervous you are, - throwing his eye to the side, the guy waved his index finger a couple of times in the air and right on the fly split the worm with two ice disks.
Under a furious, but still quiet squeak, the worm twitched, and then, leaving behind a puddle of green slime, finally dissolved. A shallow puddle remained on the dark ice, which froth for a couple of seconds before it completely died down. Even hard ice was slightly melted by this nasty creature.
Aidan glanced at the pale girls and waved his hand.
- Come on, this guy has already killed almost everyone. All these people ... - suddenly the guy remembered something:
- Well yes...
Suddenly, the bodies of all the defeated people trembled, and they began to rise like zombies.
- What's happening?! - cried Erza, who was still nauseated by the sight. Even Mira's shoulders trembled slightly at the sight of this disgusting parasite. In general, Aidan was not in the best mood. He didn't really like worms and snakes, especially those terrible and dangerous. But, here he was an older wizard, next to two beautiful girls, it was worth keeping fears aside and acting like an elder. Therefore, the half-dead did not have time to rise, as Aidan created a sharp dark blade from the ice and rushed sharply towards the enemies. Before that, although their auras seemed anomalous, he could not exactly understand the reason, but after contemplating that strange wizard, his ability to recognize life auras became even better. Any sensor has developed in the course of using its abilities. Aidan had a faint sense of magic, but he could define life better than anyone. It all started with a small radius and simple sensations. Now he could increase the distance, concentrate on special objects, even become aware of some of the intentions and experiences of beings, their fears and evil intentions. Life is not only the very essence of existence, but also goals, dreams and experiences. Gradually he learned to define it. Therefore, he quickly realized that a man possessed by a worm can say anything, but his fear of dying will overpower everything. Now they are no more than puppets who had to become slaves of the dark wizard. The worms pulled their vitality and magic, feeding and developing.
These people were mostly alive, but completely under the control of the worm, which could easily kill them. Therefore, it is impossible to save them, he will kill them in the end. This Dark Wizard at the lighthouse was not so simple himself, he obviously fed these worms with people and raised something very dangerous. It was thanks to these beings that his life aura had such nasty features.
It is most likely impossible to extract the parasites woven into the brain, Aidan was already convinced of this on the example of the murdered one. So it's easier to save these people from the torment. The current Aidan saw life and death very differently. As long as these people are not important, he could easily get rid of them. He had not planned such a terrible task, but it was worth considering this - the S class is still not an easy task. We must act decisively and not give the enemy a chance to strike at the weakest!
Having dashed across the ice at an impressive speed, Aidan, like a scythe, cut off several heads on his way, Erza and Mira could not even move, for them the murders are not at all what they expected and could have done so easily. Perhaps in the past, Aidan himself would have doubted he was not a ruthless killer who could so easily reap people's lives. Now he experienced only a drop of sadness and, to his displeasure, even some kind of satisfaction. But, he was still in his mind, he wanted to shed blood, but not now ...
After a heavy wave of his hand, the ice on the water cracked and then spread upward, all the bodies of the people who had already regained consciousness froze, Aidan used such a complex spell for the first time, but he had no choice. Someone better not see a lot of blood, after all, they were his friends ...
As soon as the bodies of all the people froze, Aidan clearly felt the movements of the parasites in their heads. He was not surprised, it had long been clear that the dark magician was controlling these people like puppets, so now he decided to act aggressively. But, Aidan was not going to give him a chance - he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and put his index fingers together, and then disconnected his hands. The ice immediately began to absorb the insides of the frozen people. The power of the spell was overwhelming! Nobody could be saved!
