"Not bad!" She blinked her purple eyes. She was very satisfied with what Locke had given her.
One of her experiments was at a critical juncture and these materials were just right.
"Here's your reward!" She tossed a small bag of energy crystals to Locke. Judging from the crisp jingle inside, there was no doubt that they were energy crystals.
Casters always followed the principle of equivalent exchange. Although Ashar was a little crazy when it came to experiments, she was still a caster.
Locke hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the bag of crystals.
Locke had used the energy crystals from his work in the transport zone for his cultivation. He could feel that this wasn't his limit. The more energy crystals he had, the faster he could improve.
"Change your clothes later and help me with an experiment." With a lift of her finger, the pile of materials on the table floated up into the air and followed her into her laboratory.
"Help you with an experiment?" Locke was stunned. Only then did he realize that he was an assistant in an experiment.
...
Locke's skin was wrapped in a dark blue leather coat, revealing only his eyes. This was the skin of a certain soft-bodied creature from the astral plane. It was said to be able to isolate odors and resist radiation.
Locke didn't know what a sterile environment meant. He only knew that he had to wear this to ensure that no germs were mixed into Lady Ashar's laboratory.
Through the two marble-sized holes in his head, Locke could see Ashar in a black dress. She was holding a knife and carefully cutting the "big guy" in front of them.
Ashar, who was a level-one caster, didn't have to wear such a bulky outfit like Locke. Her mana and mental power were enough to turn her body into a vacuum.
"Don't get distracted! Press it down hard! "Ashar shouted angrily.
Locke quickly circulated his impetus and gathered his strength in his arms, pressing down on the green, tall humanoid creature in front of him with two antennae on its forehead.
From the creature's ferocious fangs and the rock-like muscles on its chest, Locke could tell that this creature was not to be trifled with.
Although the green-skinned humanoid creature was unconscious, the pain caused its limbs to twitch involuntarily, making it difficult for Locke to control it.
This was beyond the power of a high-rank Knecht. This humanoid creature was at least a quasi-knight or a level-one Knecht.
Finally, when two-thirds of Locke's arm muscles were strained, Ashar finished her experiment. She cut off the two antennae on the green humanoid's forehead and stored them in an ice stone.
Locke could finally heave a sigh of relief. His arms drooped weakly. In just half an hour, he felt like he had gone through a huge battle. Locke, who had a strong grasp of his physical strength, could already confirm that his shoulder blade was slightly dislocated.
Before Locke could rub his sore spot, a wave of cold, destructive aura came from the test bench below him.
The green-skinned humanoid had woken up at some point. He had obsidian-like eyes, and he could feel its anger through his deep, black pupils.
"Pa-da! Pa da! The shackles binding the green-skinned humanoid creature were instantly broken, and an even more destructive aura spread out.
Rank 1 Creature!
Locke didn't expect the test subject lying on the test bench to be a rank 1 creature.
Before Locke could make any defensive moves, a pair of green-skinned claws suddenly swiped at his face.
Locke couldn't react in time. He could see the claws coming closer, but he couldn't move his body. He could only move slightly to the side.
It was useless. Locke, who had participated in countless battles, could already foresee the scene of his heart being crushed by the green claws in half a second.
What was the subconscious action of a person in the most dangerous situation?
Locke narrowed his eyes and waited for death to come.
Two seconds... Three seconds...
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. Locke didn't feel any dangerous aura, nor did he feel any stabbing pain in his heart.
When he opened his eyes, the light-gathering formation above the laboratory was still operating. Locke's gaze was fixed on the area directly in front of him.
The green-skinned humanoid creature, which had just released a murderous aura at him, narrowed its eyes and opened its mouth full of fangs. Intermittent murmurs came out of its mouth.
Locke looked at the humanoid creature's chest. There was a fist-sized puncture wound on it. Most of the organs in the humanoid creature's chest cavity had disappeared, including the hardest part of its spine.
Dark green and stinky blood flowed across the test bench and onto the ground. Apart from that, there was also a corrosive smell in the air.
Looking at the circle of black corrosive substance around the humanoid creature's wound and Ashar, who was floating in mid-air, raised her hand, Locke could already picture what had just happened in his mind.
The moment the humanoid creature went berserk, Ashar flew into the air and a black beam of light shot out from her palm, directly penetrating the humanoid creature's body.
Locke, who had just walked on the brink of death, calmly took off the leather jacket he was wearing. He had seen too many deaths and was prepared to face them at any time. So, this series of events only made his thick nerves twitch a little.
"You've got guts!" On the other side, Asha 'er descended from the sky, panting heavily. That Black Ray of Death had taken a lot out of her.
"Thank you for saving me, Master!" Locke said sincerely. If Ashar had been a little slower, he would really have died here today.
Ashar ignored Locke's gratitude and left the lab with the ice stone containing the humanoid creature's tentacle. She only said, "Clean up the place. Don't touch the Hildian corpse."
After watching Ashar leave, Locke started cleaning up the lab.
The test bench was completely ruined. The sturdy surface that could bind a level-one creature had actually been corroded by magic. How strong was that?
What Locke was most concerned about was the fact that Ashar had managed to kill the humanoid creature with the strength of a level-one knight within seconds.
Was there really such a huge difference between a caster and a knight? Or was Ashar just too strong? Locke fell into deep thought.
Locke's eyes wandered as he cleaned up. Ashar said that he shouldn't touch the humanoid creature's corpse, but what about this?
Locke looked at the dark green, viscous blood flowing on the ground. It was the blood of a level-one creature.
