Chapter 12 - Killing Someone

So, in Peter's view,

As a Templar Knight who had achieved great success, Chris's betrayal was simply incomprehensible.

Next, Peter came across some shocking information in Chris's profile.

The content he discovered made Peter increasingly angry as he read on!

Because he found that this Chris had committed all sorts of heinous crimes.

He had committed murder, arson, rape, robbery, and even cannibalism.

And he was different from ordinary Dark Wizards!

While most Dark Wizards harmed people due to the need for sacrifices to Chaos Gods or practicing black magic, this person simply enjoyed killing and eating people!

The records in the Codex of All Realms even depicted several instances of him cooking and consuming infants.

These things made Peter feel nauseous and disgusted!

Peter couldn't take it anymore.

He fiercely struck Chris a few times.

"You psycho!"

Peter cursed.

[Capture participation rate increased!]

[Current capture participation rate: 2%!]

"Huh?"

Peter was surprised because he noticed that the capture participation rate had increased!

Could it be that he could raise his capture participation rate just by beating up prisoners?

Peter suddenly thought about it.

He struck a few more times.

[Capture participation rate increased!]

[Current capture participation rate: 3%!]

It worked!

This discovery delighted Peter!

Meanwhile, Chris, seeing Peter's actions, didn't seem to care at all.

He let out a few strange laughs and then coldly said to Peter, "Are you hungry? You don't even have the strength to hurt someone!"

Chris's voice was filled with obvious mockery.

"Hmph, it won't be long before you realize how powerful I am!"

Peter didn't waste any more words on him.

Next, Peter left the first underground floor.

He went to the top floor and entered the office of Inspector General Alfred.

"Peter, do you need something?"

The Inspector General asked.

"Inspector General, I would like to apply for the authority to interrogate prisoners."

"Since I have become a patrol captain, I can't just do nothing. I can delegate patrol duties to my subordinates and take charge of interrogating prisoners. After all, I have also acquired some basic magic skills!"

Peter explained his thoughts.

"Hmm, that works."

Alfred agreed because Advanced Wizards had many tasks to handle, and it would be a waste to assign them to interrogation work.

Therefore, he gave the authority to Peter.

Peter was very happy to hear this.

The first person he wanted to interrogate was the deranged Chris!

In the interrogation room, Peter used Wind Blade Spell to attack Chris.

The gusts of wind acted like blades, shredding Chris's skin and creating multiple wounds.

[Capture participation rate increased!]

[Current capture participation rate: 4%!]

Soon, Peter realized that his capture participation rate was steadily increasing.

"Hahaha, are you tickling me? How come you have no strength at all!"

Chris looked at Peter, still showing no signs of pain, and instead made mocking remarks.

Why he was like this? Didn't he feel any pain?

Peter found it strange!

But he didn't care about that!

Next, Peter used various spells on Chris, severely injuring him.

It took him the entire night, but he managed to raise the capture participation rate to 20%!

Throughout the process, Chris never uttered a cry of pain and continued to taunt Peter.

"I see that you're weaker than my 80-year-old grandma. Your strength is so feeble, you should go home and find your mommy!"

Chris's voice was loud.

Peter was panting heavily and looking at him with an angry expression.

To be honest, he couldn't continue to attack anymore.

Seeing Chris still looking at him with contempt, Peter had no choice but to lock him up. However, as a result, his own magic power had increased significantly.

Now he could gain 200 magic power per hour!

Back at his residence, Peter successfully raised his level to Apprentice Wizard, Level 4!

[Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 4 (0/1600)]

Although it took 1600 magic power to level up, Peter could gain 200 magic power per hour.

This meant he could level up in just 8 hours!

Peter was very satisfied with this.

He believed that as long as he continued to improve steadily, he would become very powerful one day!

...

At night.

Peter was resting.

But he couldn't sleep!

It was not because his strength had become powerful, but because he had a feeling that something bad would happen soon.

After becoming a wizard, his own prophetic ability had also become stronger. Although Peter did not specifically practice prophetic magic, it was the instinct of every wizard.

So he got out of bed and went to the first underground floor.

The closer Peter got to the area of the first underground floor, the stronger his uneasy feeling became.

Just as he arrived at the door, Peter suddenly heard a piercing scream coming from the first underground floor!

This scream was coming from inside the first underground floor!

After hearing this, Peter was shocked. He knew that his premonition was correct, something had indeed gone wrong in the first underground floor!

He didn't hesitate.

He rushed in and found that one of the cell doors was open.

"The cell door is open?"

"Does that mean a prisoner has escaped?"

Peter thought.

And soon, Peter saw a prisoner running out, it was Fein.

Fein's eyes were bloodshot, as if he has gone mad. And in front of him, there were two bodies lying on the ground, it's Rock and Leonard, the two guards who were on duty tonight.

They were dead!

Peter trembled in his heart, instinctively thinking of something.

And then.

Fein saw Peter and roared, charging toward him like a mad beast.

This made Peter think that Fein now was like a crazy wild animal!

To protect himself, Peter immediately used Wind Blade Spell.

Puff!

Blood splattered as Fein was thrown back and crashed to the ground.

He was dead!

Peter had no choice but to kill him!

"One down, one less source of magic power for me!"

"Fortunately, I raised Chris's capture participation rate to 20%. Otherwise, it would have been a big waste!"

Just as Peter sighed, realizing that he had lost another source of magic power, he noticed that Fein's status in the Codex of All Realms changed to "dead" and the number of extraction became three.

He realized that by killing a prisoner, he could get three extraction opportunities.

But now was not the time for extraction because the Advanced Wizards had already rushed over upon hearing the noises!
