Chapter 121: % dead and % seriously injured
"Ah~ Xiao Li, I'm back~ You will never guess what I just ate. Eh hey hey hey? What's going on!?"

So that's how it is, it means using one's own blood.

Looking at the changes taking place where Bart was, Ritas roughly understood the usage of the "Blood Moon Mark", which was ranked as the highest level among the sin marks.

In fact, Ritas had conducted many experiments on the wax before, including using blood as a trigger. However, Ritas did not use his own blood, but the blood of some animals.

After all, according to various records so far, the kind of "curse" that will haunt you for a lifetime and is difficult to erase often appears after you donate your own blood.

And the reason why Ritas gave the seal of sin to Bart was naturally not out of sympathy or kindness.

"How do you feel now?"

As Bart's body began to change, Ritas's questioning voice rang out.

At this moment, the seal of sin seemed to have completely melted and seeped into his palm. Moreover, with the palm as the center, circles of spider-web-like red lines spread out, soaking most of his body.

“It’s never been better!”

Bart roared like a wild animal.

"Hahahahaha! Nothing has ever been so good since I was born!"

"Well, what is five hundred and seventeen plus thirty-four?"

"Five hundred. What?"

Bart's body began to bleed profusely, but the blood solidified immediately after oozing out, and covered the areas covered by the blood-colored web pattern like scales.

"From the beginning, you have been treating people as experimental subjects. Enough is enough, professor!"

Suddenly, Bart's body was covered in red, and his overall size had increased by more than 30%.

Staring with scarlet eyes that seemed to be able to spit out flames, Bart slightly turned sideways and, following his long-standing habit, displayed the "wings" behind him to his opponent.

Due to the bleeding in the body, the originally white wings also turned bright red.

The next moment, Bart moved.

Amid the swaying red wings, Bart's strong thighs gathered thunderous momentum, flexibly dancing into a long whip shape, and slammed fiercely into the protective barrier in front of him.

boom!
Not long ago, Bart had been despairing of the protective barrier, but several layers of it were shattered immediately. What appeared before him was no longer a transparent wall, but a strange scene as if there were cracks in the space.

Seeing that his attack was effective, Bart clenched his fists in front of him, raised his head and let out a wolf-like howl towards the sky.

On the other side, Ritas noticed the real changes happening to Bart.

If we say that the wings previously drawn behind Bart seemed to "come alive" under his high-speed movements.

At this moment, behind Bart, there was a real pair of vivid blood-red wings that flapped from time to time.

"This is."

Just when Ritas was puzzled by this phenomenon, Bart kicked through several layers of protective barriers.

At first, Bart kicked the protective barrier between him and Ritas. At that time, blood rushed to his head, so he might have wanted to teach Ritas, who had always looked down on him, a lesson.

However, after discovering that he had broken several layers with one kick, and that those layers were only the tip of the iceberg for the protective barrier arranged in this area, Bart immediately and rationally began to destroy the barriers in other directions, trying to escape from here.

"I'm no longer afraid of you, Professor!"

Even though he was turning his back to Ritas and trying to escape, Bart did not show any weakness.

"Whether you are afraid of me or not is just a matter of indifference to me. Compared with that, I need to congratulate you first. For the time being, you have maintained a good sense of self. And your way of thinking, although somewhat affected by the high emotions, is still within the normal range. Therefore, you should have obtained the power you dreamed of at a relatively low cost."

Ritas made a general assessment and then spoke,
"In that case, do you want more power?"

".What?"

Bart turned his head and saw another "Blood Mark of Sin" that was blown up by Ritas's wind element magic and suspended between him and Ritas.

At the same time, the part of Bart's body that was not covered by the blood-colored scales once again felt the "pain" that penetrated his skin and reached deep into his soul.

"What does this mean, Professor?"

"My initial judgment is that only the area covered by the blood-colored web pattern is proof that the Sin Seal has taken effect. Then, doesn't your body still have at least one-third of its original size left? Absorb another Sin Seal, and perhaps you will become stronger."

Bart stared at Ritas on the other side of the sin mark with a look of astonishment.

What on earth was the professor talking about?
The current situation seemed as if as long as he nodded, another sin seal would immediately fly into his hand.

"If I do that, I'll die."

"Dead? Are you sure?"

Ritas asked back calmly,
"If you are sure, is it you specifically who cannot withstand the power of two Sin Seals, or is it all individuals who cannot withstand it? If it is the latter, these marks are more like a kind of poison than a tool that grants power. With just two Sin Seals, no matter how difficult a being is to kill, it can be easily strangled."

Ritas looked at the seal thoughtfully, then took out another piece of parchment.

"And if you're not sure, you might as well keep trying. I have a rare magic circle here that can forcibly release the power hidden in your body. So, if you release it and absorb it at the same time, even if you were doomed to die, you might be able to survive as an exception."

The parchment that left Ritas's hand floated in the same position as the previous sin seal.

".Thank you for your kindness, Professor. However, this opportunity should be left to those in need! I refuse!"

After saying this, Bart turned around and began to vigorously dismantle the protective barrier that was blocking his escape.

It was at this moment that he heard a voice behind him that made his spine shiver.

"Refuse? Why do you think you can refuse?"

In an alley in the northern part of Spring City, Bart, who was scared of death, was frantically trying to break the protective barriers that restricted him.

It was a very busy night for Bart.

First, he went from being a hunter to being hunted. Then, he experienced the despair of being completely overwhelmed by a sense of powerlessness, the hopelessness of being saved after placing his hopes on others, the high spirits after obtaining the powerful power he had always dreamed of, and now the fear.

Ordinary people, even after such a series of mental changes, would feel exhausted. However, Bart could not stop.

After hearing what Ritas said, he remembered a bunch of words that have been said so many times, such as that the gift of fate has already been marked with a price and that there is no free lunch in the world.

Previously completely blinded by desire, he only now realized that it was a deal with the devil. On the other hand, Bart suddenly realized that most people's stereotypes about mages were actually correct.

The mage really does nothing most of the time, just standing there casting spells.

However, the phrase "the mage just stood there" was never a mockery of the mage, but rather a statement that highlighted the mage's power.

Once a wizard, especially a world-famous archmage, has established himself, what awaits his opponents is probably a miserable defeat.

The mage only needs to stand there and let a large amount of magic sweep over the opponent continuously or even without limit.

At this moment, Bart couldn't tell whether he was faster in destroying the protective barrier or Professor Ritas was faster in rebuilding the defense line.

Moreover, Bart needs to be vigilant while escaping, because Ritas behind him may use more cruel means at any time to force him to accept the second seal of sin.

From the time they met until now, apart from the protective barrier, Ritas had only used a little wind element magic. Bart didn't believe that the professor only had such a few tricks.

Yoshihisa
Ritas still didn't move.

From the occasional glances back, Bart discovered that the strange disc that Ritas had been holding in his hand had been unfolded a moment ago.

During this time, Ritas seemed to be talking to himself in front of the disk in his hand.

Because of the strange sound of the wind, Bart didn't hear what Ritas was saying, but the other party's strange behavior naturally deepened his fear.

Ritas frowned, as if he was arguing with something invisible. Then, he lowered his head slightly and remained silent for a moment. Finally, his face gradually calmed down and he sighed.

"You are very lucky. Although the rules of the world will not protect you, the Bathing Goddess is still willing to treat you as a 'human'. Thank the Bathing Goddess."

As the buzzing sound surrounding Ritas disappeared, he who said these words, in front of Bart's confused gaze, took back the second sin seal and the parchment with complex patterns that had been approaching Bart.

In the sky, the dark clouds that had previously slightly obscured the full moon dissipated.

At least half an hour after the two flares were fired in succession, a lot of noisy sounds were finally heard around the alley where Ritas and Bart were.

The belated Guard Knights are about to arrive.

After taking back the second sin seal and the magic book page, Ritas still looked a little regretful as he stared at the "monster" he had created.

It is a circle larger than the average person, and is about the same size as Iris. Half of its body is covered with blood-red scales, its face is permeated with blood-red web patterns, and it has a pair of huge red wings behind it, but it seems unable to fly.

"Is the time coming, 'Son of Diosium'? The Guard Knights will arrive soon. If you are willing to become powerless on your own initiative and cooperate with the Knights as a prisoner, I estimate that you will only be in prison for ten years at most. If you behave well, you can be free in three years at the earliest. Of course, this is only a punishment for the crimes you committed in Spring City and Earls Higher School of Magic."

Ritas persuaded Bart,

"But if you resist, since I am the one who gave you the power, I will bring you to justice in my own way. Next, there is a 20% chance that you will die on the spot, a 30% chance that you will suffer a lifelong injury that cannot be healed, and a 50% chance that you will be seriously injured."

"Hehe. How terrible! Is the best outcome a serious injury? Professor, even if I die in your 'experiment', I won't complain. But, forget about letting me go to jail! The pair of wings behind me are the wings of 'freedom'!"

Bart roared loudly, and then broke through several protective barriers.

The reason why Bart became angry again was not because he really insisted in his heart as he said.

It was just that he suddenly realized that the professor behind him was not scary anymore.

Even facing the protective barrier that seemed like it would never be completely shattered, he now had the illusion that there might only be a few layers left.

Bart was born with the special ability to sense danger, and he relied on it to the extreme. Bart believed in his sense, but he obviously had many flaws in his character.

"so."

Judging from the fact that Bart would probably make a big scene afterwards, Ritas shook his head and threw the white disc in his hand far away.

"I hope you are 50%."

In the elegant (cursing) sound coming from the disc, which only a few people can hear.

The disc that fell to the ground began to spin at high speed. As the disc spun, the white magic circle quickly spread out with it as the center, and soon completely enveloped Bart.

"What is this"

Before Bart finished his words, dazzling white light filled the area covered by the white magic circle.

After a moment of extreme silence.

Ritas, who had been hiding far away, returned to the scene.

After confirming it was safe again and again, he slowly walked into the space where all the scenery was arranged in an extremely strange way, then picked up the white disc and brushed off the dust on it.

"I warned you."

Turning his head, looking at Bart, who was embedded in a slanted wall supported by a pillar that came from nowhere and spitting out blood, Ritas said indifferently.

Soon after.

Ritas emerged from the shadows and came to the open space where Miriam and Courteney were.

"professor!"

Seeing Ritas holding the white disc as usual, Miriam finally relaxed her tense nerves and showed a happy expression.

On the one hand, although Courteney showed enough strength, Miriam still subconsciously felt that he could only feel at ease after seeing the professor. On the other hand, he was very happy that the professor came to rescue him as soon as he sent out the signal magic.

By the way, Miriam also heard the highly recognizable shrill voice of the Bathing Goddess echoing around the side of the disk.

Although it was impossible to hear what the Bathing Goddess was scolding for a moment, judging from the professor's "obedient" expression, it seemed that he was in the wrong?
"Where's Curt?"

Ritas walked up to Miriam and asked when he saw that Courteney was not there.

"Teacher Courtline? Hmm, she was here just now."

Miriam and Ritas looked around together, and then found Courteney in the corner of the open space.

At this time, Courteney was picking up an unconscious pervert dressed in half-woman clothes and punching him until his flesh and blood were blurred.
"Damn it, how come there is still a pervert here? What's wrong with this city? Where do all these perverts come from? You bastards, do you know that I have been exercising all day today and I am very hungry? And yet they are here in groups."

Bang, bang, bang
"Where did he come from? No, that's not right! Stop! Kurt! That's the Knight Commander of the Guard Knights!"

In short, with the death of the last pervert, the long full moon night came to an end.
