Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 321 - Parasite



The guards slowly unzipped the body bag, revealing a middle-aged male tightly restrained by ropes.

Duke Tepikkhu was still wearing normal clothes, probably because Lydia tied him up the moment he was affected by the parasite. However, the way he twisted his arms and the maniacal gazes in his eyes exposed his condition.

Even though he was bound by the ropes, Tepikkhu was struggling so hard that the two guards were having a hard time keeping him under control.

He writhed harder as Angor approached.

When Angor reached him, Tepikkhu suddenly stopping moving and looked away.

The guards, as well as Domino, glanced at each other in confusion. They wondered if the young wizard used some kind of spell.

Using the chance, Domino asked a medic member to inject tranquilizer into Tepikkhu’s arm. The duke didn’t resist at all.

After learning that the parasites couldn’t live without nightmare aura, Sunders easily found a solution. The mist covering the city was only a temporary, “fake” nightmare, while a Nightmare Domain was the real deal.

When a parasite was put inside a Nightmare Domain, it would grow livelier, and it would quickly absorb the abundant energy around it. And since all the energy inside a Nightmare Domain was controlled by the owner, once the parasite was “filled up” by the energy, this domain owner would be able to force the parasite into leaving its host.

Angor didn’t know how to control the energy yet. He had been too busy with his alchemy works to read The Mystery of Nightmare Domain .

In order to learn this, he carefully listened to Sunders’ lecture while heading toward the duke manor. Now he already gained an overall idea.

Tepikkhu looked really happy. Just as Sunders said, the parasite within him was glad to devour the rich energy inside a real Nightmare Domain.

Angor tracked the energy flow and noticed that there was a concentrated spot inside Tepikkhu’s body.

He grinned at his success. Following the energy-control technique he just learned from Sunders, he pulled the parasite, which looked like a glowing spot at first, from Tepikkhu’s mouth. The parasite obediently landed on his hand.

At the same time, Tepikkhu collapsed while his eyes rolled back into his head.

Angor stared at the shining sphere in his palm. There were a number of vortex-like structures on the surface of it which looked like the parasite’s eyes.

Creepy.

The parasite stayed put on Angor’s hand. Even if it were to escape, Angor could easily pull it back using the nightmare energy it already absorbed.

“Professor said this is another nightmare creature, so I can put it here.” He didn’t have time to worry about other matters now, so he simply tossed the parasite to the teacups nearby. He assumed that they would get along well.

Next, he grabbed Tepikkhu’s clothes and canceled the Nightmare Domain.

In the views of the onlookers, Angor suddenly vanished with Tepikkhu. Domino was terrified when he saw this. He feared that Angor had taken his father to somewhere prone to infection.

Before Domino could do anything though, the old servant called him.

“Sir Wizard and the old master have returned.”

Domino looked back and saw the young wizard appearing again, along with Tepikkhu, who was no longer held in ropes.

He was about to speak when Angor stopped him by pushing Tepikkhu into his chest.

“Take him. He’s fine now.”
