Chapter 159 Part 2: Tyler Dixon Died
Police Headquarters,
Alan Pitts, Lottie Ewing, Pam Levine, and Jimmy Herman took a break from speaking with their superiors and other important people.
They are actually staying out in Tyler Dixon's cabin to avoid people. Otherwise, they would be overrun by a swarm of officials.
Four of them were experiencing a wide range of emotions. In the past few days, there have been numerous changes. Their Department Head had apprehended the criminal and placed him in an undisclosed prison cell.
They exacted their vengeance but were unable to save their captain. Alan Pitts felt a flutter in his chest. He has no idea how to respond to their current situation. His face grew emotionless, and his eyes shone with icy light.
Not only him, but the other three were also coping with the grief; no one was in the mood to converse. Pam, the sensitive one, has been crying since they returned from Bellbrook City.
She wouldn't have been able to stand in front of so many people if it hadn't been for Lottie's support. Unlike Pam, Lottie deals with her loss in her own way.
Lottie was skeptical of the existence of a cure from the start. She was doubtful of the information. Only their department head is capable of telling the truth.
As a result, Lottie anticipated their captain's demise. She absorbs the information easily now that it has occurred.
Jimmy Herman used to be composed and serene. Although, for the time being, he is composed, his heart is not at ease. They attempted to locate a cure in the lion's lair but they were unsuccessful.
He has no idea how to express his feelings. He felt as if something had been taken away from him, leaving him with an empty feeling in his heart.
Four of them are dealing with grief. They no longer use the word "cure." The word began with hope and finished with dread.
"Creak," the door opens when four of them are sitting in the chair.
Wizard Mitchell entered to see them.
When they saw him, four of them stood up from their seats. For a brief while, the environment was deafeningly quiet. Their silence alone expressed a wide range of feelings to him.
Wizard Mitchell sighed quietly to himself. It's not only that they're helpless. He couldn't accept his inability to save Captain Tyler as a healing wizard.
It is the job of healers to dismantle the ways that prevent patients from recovering. He knew he could have saved him on the first day of treatment if it hadn't been for the forbidden poison.
But nothing can be done now. It's just life. In their predicament, not only was the cure out of reach, but so was time.
Dispelling his thoughts, he looked them in the eyes and said, "It's time."
Alan is still cool under pressure, despite his mixed emotions.
He took a step forward and said, "Thank you for informing us, department head. We'll be there right away."
Before leaving the room, Wizard Mitchell nodded.
When Alan noticed his disappearance, he turned to his team members and stated, "Let's go."
The preparations for their captain's burial is going on. Suddenly, there is a new development. Because he perished as a result of a forbidden poison. Many of the higher-ranking officials recommended burning the body.
Because it is widely known that dark wizards use wizard corpses to do experiments. As a result, most wizards do not want this to happen.
However, the motive is different in this case; no one wants to open the door to such a possibility. So everyone wants to see Captain Tyler's body burned to ashes as soon as possible.
Alan Pitts gnashed his teeth in rage upon hearing such a talk. Even if they were telling the truth, why can't they talk quietly?
Many of them behaved shamelessly. They were unconcerned about the scenario.
A hint of sadness can be seen from Alan's cold eyes.
Captain Tyler's corpse would be burned to ashes at this point, he understood.
They'll do it right here at the police station. Alan raged in his heart at these "scu*bags."
It's no surprise that wizards came here in large numbers. It's not about expressing sympathy. They came here to keep people from getting in their way.
They want to get rid of the body as quickly as possible. After knowing what was going on around him, Alan Pitts' face became increasingly frosty.
"Click"
Suddenly, he feels the chains being released. Alan's eyes spark with a cold glint as he senses his limit loosening. It will only be a matter of time before he reaches level 4.
Alan made a clear decision in his heart. He made the choice to leave this work. He will not return until he has reached level-4.
At this point, his previous helplessness felt completely washed away. As a result, his entire demeanor became that of a newborn.
Jimmy Herman, standing beside him, wrinkled his brows in perplexity. Despite the fact that he did not cast any spells, his nose is passively taking up signals.
He was able to detect Alan's changes because he was standing next to him. The mana accumulating around Alan has become much more concentrated. The scene is imperceptible to the human sight, but Jimmy Herman confirms it with his senses.
Despite the fact that it is not similar to a regular Level-4 Wizard. However, it is higher than the level-3 level. When Jimmy considered level 4, he felt as if lightning had struck his entire being.
His dull eyes have a sparkling shine to them. Given the circumstances, he chose to remain silent.
Finally, after considerable wrangling among the officials, everyone arrives at the same decision. It was agreed to burn the corpse for safety reasons.
Alan informed his team members after confirming the news. He doesn't want Pam and Lottie to stay right now. Pam's mental health is deteriorating, according to him.
Only Lottie can assist her right now. He also told Jimmy to accompany them. They returned to Captain Tyler's cabin after learning.
At the same time, the officials then took action.
Alan predicted where they would complete the task. A large number of convicts are imprisoned in an underground basement. As a result, they knew where to dispose of the bodies of deceased prisoners.
In the meantime, Pain Wizard Eva is making her way to their department head's cabin. When it comes to the team, after collecting the rewards, they split up.
Since they returned, her mind has been concerned with one thing. Which is where rogue wizard Leon Willy is right now. That person was the source of everyone's pain.
The cure is the reason she has been thinking about him. She wants to know if their superiors have confirmed the existence of a cure or not.
She just knew that Wizard Billy had imprisoned that individual in his new jail. Which is heavily reinforced.
Even a level 5 wizard cannot break through the wall. Level-5 wizards are taking turns guarding that one prison cell, especially after locking him up.
Dale Berg, the chief of their battle hall department, informed her of this. She sighed, recalling Captain Tyler.
She is unsure about the treatment, but she is relieved that they have finally apprehended the rogue wizard.
Without Captain Tyler's death, the news would have startled many people. However, higher-ups opted to conceal the information. They don't want anyone to find out.
Her eyes widened as she noticed the poison dagger had two additional members.
She arrived in front of the battle hall department head's cabin while considering.
The door creaks open.
She noticed the department head sitting cross-legged in a meditative position. She didn't want to bother him, so she strolled gently to a nearby chair to sit.
Time passes, and 10 minutes later,
After finishing the practice, Dale Berg opened his eyes. He stood up and walked back to his seat when he saw Eva.
When she entered the cabin, he became aware of her presence.
"So, what's going on out there?" Dale asked her a question.
Ms. Eva was aware that he was discussing the decisions of those officials. "They chose to burn his corpse," she replied.
He didn't respond when he heard that. "How does your pain magic operate against level 4 wizards?" he inquired.
Ms. Eva's face changed dramatically. Leon Willy is the only level-4 wizard she can think of right now. The department head isn't required to break the suspense. Because She already knew the answer.
"If it's an ordinary level-4 wizard, my spell would be successful," she thoughtfully said after acquiring some insight.
Wizard Dale took a breather. Not only did he agree, but another department head in this building agreed to allow her to question Leon Willy.
Because everyone knows that Leon Willy's body deteriorated as a result of the forbidden experiment, Eva may be able to effectively utilize her magic against him.
"I suppose you guessed well about the level-4 wizard," he replied.
Eva responded with "Leon Willy."
Wizard Dale answered with a nod, "Yes, it is he. His frail condition had already deteriorated following the previous fight."
Ms. Eva's eyes flashed brightly. Wizard Billy told her that he had utterly crushed Leon Willy in the battle. If Leon Willy's injury is severe, she has a chance of increasing the pain.
