Chương 83: IT was a fake Pennywise!
I was calm and happy, as by killing Vilgax and his goons, chucking Kevin into an alternate Timestream with amnesia, and being calm, patient and analytical of the circumstances around me, I can avoid a fucking lot of problems and headaches that swing Ben's way.
I was happy, with how I was dealing with my problems, and if Professor Paradox and Azmuth take offense to that, I am out of fucks to give away. I might as well use the Killing Curse, and see if Paradox wins or my Magic does. However, I am certain, that not having so many active threats looming over my head, I am feeling quite refreshed and rejuvenated.
My serene expression was ruined with a frown, when I saw the despondent and sad looks on the customers who walked out of the Travelling Circus Tent.
Curious, I went inside and remembered some minor plot of a Children-friendly version of Pennywise Clown. I heard a, "Hahahahaha are you entertained folks? For I am Zombozo!" *Peeeeeh* His Clown act was followed with a blowing horn sound that made the audience laugh louder, as he tumbled, fell and had his act done with remarkable perseverance.
But I saw him leeching of the energy of the audience who laughed, and I saw him gulp the life-force of the people. I decided to see, if he is an alien, and flew under the Cloak, and scanned his DNA.
It surprisingly said, that he was human. I was not sure, but he showed up not having a strand of alien DNA in him.
I needed more information, and saw that he was simply a mutant form of human, with a minor ability to manipulate emotional spectral energy of other beings. I understood absolutely nothing from it, besides what I remember, and looked up his name on the phone.
After a little review and recap, I also saw his association with the other circus freaks. I decided to look into this, and used Legilimens on the laughing Clown. I saw he became capable of manipulating energy and absorbing the life-force of other beings by collecting and channeling them through the machine, which was given to him in reality by some woman in cloak.
I decided to examine the machine, and let the clown work his act, as he was leaching off too much from people, but he wasn't absolutely killing people. The Mana generated by living beings is the manipulation of their life-force, and while some beings become capable of manipulating magic and mana, thus increasing its magnitude due to repeated use, regular people generate a little bit of mana too, by their simple biological processes.
And by sucking that mana, he was also leaching off their life-force, in excess. He could have gotten away, with sucking away little, and no one would ever have noticed. But he was a greedy, sadistic little fuck. And he needed to be put down.
I cast a wide range Confundus, to make them believe the audience had a wonderful time, and the show was interesting, but drawn out. So many people were getting tired, as it was getting late.
Putting the spell in effect, I saw people grumble and leave, and before Zombozo could act, I stunned the bitch.
I raped his mind, found out his heart had a rune engraved on it, which was helping in channeling mana into him, but it was actually a transmission rune, which was sending about ninety-five percent of the Mana collected to a certain location, while leaving very little to the clown. Instead, his wrists and thighs had a rune, which was strengthening his dessicating body, while making him emotionally unstable.
This was looking like a puppet play, and I knew of a magic duo, who could stoop to such methods to collect and store Mana for future use.
I guessed there could be other variables at play here, but before that, I examined the rune, and marked the expected location of the collection area. I then transferred the rune to a jadestone in my inventory, and marked it to guide me like a compass would.
I then pushed the dessicating corpse of the clown away, as I pulled as his mana, and transmitted it into me, and then channeling it to the Omnitrix. Unknown mana can have unwanted effects on humans. But sending that mana to fuel my simulation, with Omnitrix which could actively leach off of any type of energy, I decided to make it like the electrical grounding for all my excess and unwanted energies.
I located the clown's machine, while I saw with my long-distance Scrying that my plans succeeded, and grandpa Max and Gwen are entangled with the circus trio.
I examined the machine which was also acting as a relay, and paired with some long distance container, where the majority of mana was being channeled.
I found it about three kilometres further, but also found the wards and alert charms into the grounds. I found that flying over it would not be sensed, and there was no ripple, when I flew on the Hoverboard, I appropriated from Tetrax.
Locating the containment chamber, I found out that this was like a one-time containment unit, where large mana crystals stored mana. The crystals were removed and placed regularly, and I wanted to find out who it would be.
I changed into Clockwork, use its ability to actively look at the events that transpired since the container was placed here. I could see through the Chronosapien's abilities the exact events which led to it, and how my initial assumption was correct. Charmcaster was involved, and she was assisting her uncle for the ritual to divine the location of the Book Of Spells, after he had acquired the Charms of Bezel and the Keystone.
I knew, I would be seeing "Uncle Hex" during Mardi Gras in New Orleans, and I could keep track of the Book, as I wanted it for myself.
Besides the lore of offering unlimited power when used with the Charms of Bezel, which I am sure is a sham, I know that the Book of Spells was used notably one more time, in Alien Force, for Time travelling, which ultimately led to a futile journey, which made things worse than they were, and ended with Gwen preventing her timetraveller self from making any change to the past. So, by taking the Book away in New Orleans, and taking away all of Hex's belongings and knowledge, I can ensure that he would work harder for more power, and eventually amount to nothing, when I can simply take away all his Avenues to accumulate powers, and use it for myself.
I don't need Lucky Girl, or Mana wielding Gwen to save my ass, as I quite capable by myself, instead of having to rely on ignorant teens and Grandfather who is in his Twilight years and wants to live an excited life, to remind him of the bygone era.
He had openly told me to not become a hero, lest I invite trouble for myself, and he thinks he is keeping an eye on me, while in reality, he has been regularly confounded to believe he is watching me and Gwen.
I had done the same charmwork on Gwen, and come New Orleans, I will gift her something special (at least from a teenage perspective) to compensate for taking away her magical abilities, and a chance to become a world-saving hero.
I have been coaxing her mana regardless, and by now, I have managed to multiply her piddly reserves to an appreciable level, at least for a quarter Anodite.
In return, I have been analysing her and mine DNA in parallel, with the simulation Omnitrix is performing, to make my Anodite DNA slowly dominate over my human half.
And when I saw the milestone of New Orleans being 150 kms, I made a gorgeous emerald necklace, with beautiful engraving in silver and platinum, and placed it in a wooden engraved box, which I gift wrapped for her.
She would find it under her bunk, when we reach in New Orleans. And I would be relieved for compensating Gwen, and taking away her chance at glory!
