"Eh?"
Professor Turci, usually composed and serious, let out a voice like an adorable young girl.
She looked at the Demon Clan feasting on Edgar, and for a mont her mind was filled with nothing but the word "Eh."
Eh, how did you die?
It's hard to understand, these Demons should have been tightly confined, how did they escape?
Moreover, given Edgar's strength, he shouldn't have died at the hands of just a few Demons.
Besides, these Demons were physically weak due to long-term imprisonnt, even a few old farrs could have made them all kneel.
But at this mont, ti did not permit Turci to continue standing there seemingly in a daze yet actually brainstorming, because those Demons were rushing towards her.
Back then, to participate in the Battle Festival and improve her survival skills, Turci engaged in combat training herself for quite a long ti, and her speed had increased dramatically.
So when those Demons showed even a hint of hostility towards her, she raised her Magic Wand, swiftly tossing a few Luminous Stone Swift Magic Gravels, outpacing Arican Iaido.
Perhaps this should be called Magic Iaido.
Those Demons, already physically weak, faced the Magic Iaido of a professor-level magician and naturally couldn't react, they couldn't even resist before their heads burst apart.
"Thud thud—"
The mangled bodies of the Demons fell heavily to the ground, splashing into the pool of blood and spattering the surrounding walls.
"..."
Turci's expression changed several tis, finally deeply furrowing her brows, gnashing her teeth as she approached and poked Edgar with her Magic Wand.
The counterpart remained motionless, breathless, even Healing Magic proved futile, his body was cold, likely impossible to revive even at the Resurrection House.
"Completely dead."
Her mouth twitched slightly.
Why did it evolve into this situation, a heap of questions collided in Turci's head, but there were no answers for a long ti because, according to rational judgnt, the scene before her shouldn't have happened.
Fortunately, Edgar had helped them decipher Younka's most critical research materials, now they could proceed at their own pace.
Unfortunately, there were many areas where they still needed Edgar, and his death was a real waste of talent.
"Huh..."
Turci exhaled a heavy breath, looking at the scattered bodies before finally fixating her gaze on Edgar.
After staring for a while, her expression changed.
"This is how the events transpired, Your Majesty. Younka's legacy has been deciphered, but the one who cracked it died in an accident."
In the Royal Palace, the Minister reported the origin and progress of the matter, then fell silent, leaving Banto to ponder on his own.
"Is that so, that's such a sha."
Banto tapped his fingers slowly against the armrest of the throne, his gaze profound, stating:
"I didn't expect the Demon Clan to still have such a use, why didn't Younka make it public? If he did, the Alchemists of the Life School would certainly go mad over it."
"Indeed, completely unexpected," the Minister agreed with a sigh: "To think, the Demon Clan could be used as the best adhesive for Life Fusion."
Edgar's deciphered legacy specified the Demon Clan's role — an adhesive.
Life Fusion is a category of Magic generally adept with Alchemists, simply put, it involves rging different creatures to create diverse new organisms.
Creatures like Chiras and Abominations are classic examples of fusion Monsters, the Chira has even ford a stable and reproductive community, known as the most perfect masterpiece in this field.
But other creations differ, the Monsters ford often experience rejection and abnormalities, leading to various deaths, even if newly fused Monsters survive temporarily showcasing certain specialties, they usually live for a very short ti.
Later students of Life Fusion failed to replicate the miracles of the Chira community.
Researchers proposed nurous reasons for failures, ultimately, a glaring issue erged:
The fusion Monsters lacked a stable core.
It's like constructing a house—not rely stacking bricks but requiring cent-like substances to bind them; similarly, fusion Monsters lack such cent.
Scholars sought many Magic Materials to fill this void, yet ultimately couldn't succeed.
Until now, people have mostly given up searching; the application of Life Fusion gradually shifted from exploring new species to temporarily creating combat power in battles, its position becoming akin to Summoning Magic and Undead Magic.
This has beco a lukewarm Magic domain, who could have anticipated that Younka's legacy would bring new surprises.
[Each individual of the Demon Clan is unique, they naturally possess remarkable plasticity, weakest at elder stages, strongest shortly after birth before their body develops distinct traits, at this mont if integrated into Life Fusion can drastically extend the fusion Monster's lifespan, producing stability beyond imagination]
This was the exact wording in Younka's notes; seemingly, he conducted considerable experints to arrive at such a conclusion.
