Chapter 452
"My esteemed guests . " Mynna's magically enhanced voice resounded through the ballroom . "I hope our master musicians have helped you to work up an appetite because our chefs have given their all to prepare our meal . "
The audience clapped at their host before moving to the adjacent room . Mynna and Manohar approached Baron Mox, who was hosting the meat puppet most likely to survive the extraction process along with its host .
"Baron Mox, my father would like to have a word in private . He is waiting for you in his office . " She gave him a graceful curtsy before offering to accompany him . Mynna held his arm while making small talk and giggling at every of the Baron replies .
He didn't even notice Manohar walking a few steps behind them . The Professor whispered one spell after the other, to make sure the events with the first meat puppet wouldn't happen again .
The Baron was so distracted by Mynna's flirting that he didn't pay attention to his surroundings . There were many people waiting for him in the office, but Marquis Lanza wasn't among them .
The moment they stepped inside, a mage from the Association struck the back of Mox's neck with an enchanted club, making him faint .
"Good, this will cut the connection with his master . Now make me some space . " Manohar stepped forward and activated the tier five spell Life Ward, enveloping all those present but the Baron with a thin layer of light magic that prevented their life forces from being affected by external sources .
He had developed it to counter all those abilities similar to an Abomination's touch, making it impossible for vampires or meat puppets to harm his mind or body respectively .
Then he cast in rapid succession his diagnostic spell Third Eye and his Split spell . They were both tier five spells that Manohar had created when he was still a fifth year student and had kept perfecting them every time he expanded his knowledge .
The core of the spells was always the same, but Manohar had updated them so many times that if he bothered keeping track of all of their different versions, he would discover to have recently reached the triple digits .
Third Eye was similar to Invigoration, allowing Manohar's mana to resonate with the patient's body . By shifting his focus whenever he perceived an anomaly, Manohar would obtain detailed information almost up to the cellular .
Split was one of his most prized spells and the reason behind most of his achievements . A normal tier five healer spell would use darkness magic to destroy diseased tissues and replace them with healthy ones .
Split defied this logic . It used darkness magic to surgically cut the diseased tissues, or in this case the meat puppet, from the patient's body while nurturing them both . This way Manohar would heal the patient and collect a perfectly preserved sample to study afterward .
Since Baron Mox was unconscious and the vortex dormant, the whole process required less than a minute . The meat puppet screeched and squirmed while the Professor pulled it out in one piece from the Baron's mouth .
The puppet looked like a section of intestine, except it was full of throbbing veins which burst open and released dozen of small tentacles . The tentacles shapeshifted into small hands, clawing the air in an attempt to harm Manohar, but to no avail .
His shield made of light prevented the infection, while his armor blocked the weak limbs . The thing then turned into a small head . Its blue eyes had just opened when the Professor shoved it inside a darkened container which he promptly sealed with a spell .
