I’m In Charge of SCP - Chapter 263: The Magician

Chapter 263: The Magician

London, England. Hayward School of Magic.

Headmaster Alfred, who has white hair and a beard, is using a quill pen to write his lecture on a piece of paper. The school will graduate a set of students tomorrow, and as is typical, he will give a speech and award certificates to each graduate.

The young people needed to hear from him that they should stay on the right path and apply the magic they had learned for the good of everybody. An unexpected golden crow appeared on his windowsill midway through the speech.

He made a small frown. as it had been a while since he had last seen it. Principal Alfred was a very skilled magician more than a century ago, while still being a young man.

He battled those abnormalities that endangered mankind with magic, and he was active all across the planet. He was once injured and rendered unconscious before a man came to his aid. He offered the person who saved him three golden birds in exchange for helping him complete the tasks.

Alfred later discovered that the man’s name was Leopold and that he belonged to a group called the Global Occult Coalition (GOC). Alfred worked his way up through the magical community’s ranks over the past 100 years until he was appointed Minister of Magic, at which point he retired due to advancing age.

During this time, Alfred gave Leopold assistance in resolving two issues. Leopold has advanced as well, and he currently serves as the executive director of the GOC, one of the fundamental members of the absolute leadership. Since it has been nearly difficult for them to meet at will, Alfred believed that this last action shouldn’t be permitted.

He was surprised to see this golden raven at this particular moment. It’s likely that the GOC has run into a new challenge. He believed it.

Then, as predicted, a carrier pigeon landed on his window. It has a message on the carrier, which Principal Alfred picked up. “Old buddy, sorry, this is the final time to bother you.”

The flesh and blood monsters in the city of Arcadia started to act up again after Saarn’s ascension, ravaging the surrounding territories despite the fact that nothing was left there. As waves of monsters approached to pursue them in the direction of Area-114, Zhang Jue and the others were able to stop them.

Indeed, they were aware that the Foundation’s members were still in the area. All of these creatures withdrew into the city before Saarn became God to avoid mishaps. Saarn was now the new deity of flesh and blood, thus it was only natural that they would wish to use the Foundation’s members as the first batch of sacrificial pig-dogs.

After more than an hour, Zhang Jue had already vanquished three waves of flesh-and-blood monsters that had entered Area-114 in search of trouble. One wave of these monsters was more powerful than the other.

It was difficult to kill them with a single hit due to their size and blood and flesh covering their entire bodies. They could only be cut into small pieces by Zhang Jue using his long, black knife. It was nasty when those flesh and blood creatures occasionally erupted in green juice after being cut.

The time, according to Zhang Jue’s watch, was already two in the morning. Kenneth and Strang ought to have arrived at a relatively secure area. The majority of the chasing monsters had been diverted here, and even if there were any leaks, they ought to be manageable.

While it was still dark, he was preparing to execute his plan and use his senses to find the direction of Arcadia City when many lights suddenly crossed the sky. After that, explosions started to happen.

Zhang Jue raised his head only to observe two fighter group formations beginning to alternately bombard Arcada City, one in front of the other. It goes without saying that the Foundation or the GOC should have sent this.

After the failure of the four nuclear bombs, they were bound to come to investigate the situation and then take a new round of measures. Anyone can see that if the Sarkic Cults is not eliminated, it will definitely become a major scourge.

They had to visit and assess the situation after the four nuclear bombs failed before implementing fresh steps. Anyone can see that the Sarkic Cults will undoubtedly turn into a serious scourge if they are not eradicated.

It was inconceivable for the GOC and the Foundation to not have the next plan after the nuclear weapon plan went awry. The nuclear bombs were ineffective following Saarn’s ascent to God, and these warriors served little use other than to harm and murder the city’s residents who were believers and monsters.

Indeed, only a few steps had been taken by Zhang Jue before many thunderclaps shook the sky. An airplane was shot down each time a thunderbolt sounded. After a while, there weren’t many bombers in the two formations.

Saarn had just become a god, and because of his rage, he didn’t think he would take action himself. It was undoubtedly Nadox’s creation, and the Four Saints’ leader appeared to be a cunning individual.

If they didn’t lay down their money, there was no way the Foundation and the GOC could even approach this location.

As he moved closer to the city of Arcadia, Zhang Jue paused to reflect. But just as he was about to leave the city, he was forced to turn back. The number of flesh and blood creatures defending the area was multiplied by multiple times.

They even picked up weapons and possessed numerous hands and feet. It appeared that Saarn’s ascent to the gods had enhanced all of these servants as well.

Zhang Jue tried to enter the city while hiding in the shadows, but it was nearly impossible due to the abundance of monsters and the fact that every crossroads was patrolled.

In actuality, fighting with these flesh and blood demons was not a difficult chore given Zhang Jue’s current strength. However, he didn’t want to warn the adversary so soon.

Strongly attacking in this manner would undoubtedly draw the notice of the Sarkuc Cults, which would greatly thwart his goals. He didn’t want to be exposed to Saarn’s viewpoint so soon.

A spell formation suddenly materialized in the clearing not far ahead as he was about to divert to check if there was a possibility to sneak in from another direction. Unlike the scarlet color employed by the Lust for Flesh sect, the color of this spell formulation was lime green.

Zhang Jue was wondering what this spell was for.

Several individuals in blue robes and carrying long staffs suddenly materialized in the midst of the formation. When Zhang Jue and Yang Xue visited Site-237, they had the distinction of riding on what he later discovered should be a teleportation array.

However, this spell construction was clearly more sophisticated and had the capacity to carry a large number of people at once. Those flesh and blood beasts were immediately drawn to these wizards in robes when they emerged.

They attacked the magicians while waving their guns around. The magicians moved swiftly, their staffs lit up in their hands, and the sudden appearance of ice instantaneously froze the feet of those flesh and blood beasts.

One of them muttered an incantation, which caused fire-filled meteorites to fall from the sky and strike the creatures. Those beasts quickly succumbed to this ice and fire strike and became pools of blood.

Zhang Jue appeared perplexed. It also appeared that the magicians of this time were exceedingly strong. Naturally, they must be from the GOC since only the GOC has the authority to direct these magicians.

They used their AOE abilities to quickly dispatch all the adjacent monsters as Zhang Jue lurked in the shadows and observed. They then drew a very intricate spell structure on the ground using their own blood.

When a bright light suddenly flared and an elderly guy unexpectedly materialized in the center of the spell formation, Zhang Jue was left bewildered. This spell formulation is probably of the summoning variety.

The elderly guy could see right away that his strength was not weak because of his white beard, white hair, and white robes. He sighed after taking in the fragrance of blood and flesh as he turned to gaze around.

“Leopold, you really want me to fight the gods. I owed you one anyway as I am desperate before. I will not let him take over the world!”
