Episode 592 Croden Olentia (3)

Indeed, despite his disgusting appearance, Croden Olentia was a powerful sorcerer.

Even though there may have been limitations in the use of magic, the capabilities he had built up from the time he was in the Academy until now, backed by the abundant resources of the Bohemian Tower, were truly like a mountain.

Even before raiding the Great Hall, I had increased my abilities with all kinds of potions.

“… … .”

But that alone was not enough to fully deal with Isabella’s power.

The space of the Great Hall is in disarray.

The floor was scorched and broken, and the closed door was split open.

Wow!

A long icicle of erosion that I couldn’t react to reached my shoulder. Instead of the robe being pierced, the [Quarto] jewel fell out.

‘Now there is only one jewel left.’

The time for [Quarto] to show its true value was approaching, but Croden’s expression was subtly distorted.

‘To activate the artifact, you must wrap the entire bracelet around your other hand and say the activation words. But not now.’

Isabella glances at the bracelet, taking in the moment.

An attitude of responding immediately depending on how Croden reacts when the last fourth jewel is depleted.

‘The gap between the remaining gems running out and [Quarto] starting up won’t even be 3 seconds… … but even that is long.’

The magic item that increases Croden’s resistance is, of course, top-tier. Even if he is hit by a 6th-tier high-level magic, he will not die.

Still, Isabella’s magic was so deformed that I had a gut feeling that I shouldn’t allow it to be attacked rashly.

Not only does it interfere with the magic of others, but it also damages the magical resistance of objects, forcibly making them vulnerable to magic?

I have never heard or seen that kind of magical enlightenment.

‘But Isabella can’t use her magic circle-engraved eyes.’

The reason Croden understood the situation that way was because he no longer felt the faint strangeness that had been occurring inside his body.

‘It was used on me at first and then on my clone twice, so the total number of times it can be used within a certain period of time is three.’

Eyes that manifest magical phenomena.

Such traits are likely to be innate in an ancient bloodline, so how did Isabella acquire them later in life?

I don’t think it’s because I consumed the purified blood of a special entity…

anyway.

‘I’ve decided what I’m going to do.’

Subdue Isabella and take her out of the Great Hall, then find Verden, who says Isabella is alive, and kill him in front of her.

No, it would be better to use it as an unofficial test subject again.

Just being able to escape the power outage and survive with a limited lifespan is more than enough to be worth studying.

Judgment based on reason.

This is a high-level thinking process that Croden learned from the Bohemian Tower Master.

“I didn’t know that you could still move even after having more than half of your body burned by lightning. I think you can quickly regenerate if you have the original body, but it would be difficult to recover from a cut. That’s why you’re secretly avoiding it.”

“… … .”

Isabella simply remained silent, never taking her eyes off Croden for even a moment. To be precise, her focus was on [Quarto].

‘You seem to be very wary of artifacts. Then───’

Magic

Summon multiple clones, but modify the tactics used so far.

In reverse, he puts his main body forward and threatens by revealing it in a nice way with [Quarto], and resumes the bombing by linking elemental magic with the clones positioned at the rear.

Top 6th tier of the fire series

Top 6th tier of lightning series.

Top 5 tiers of the Earth series.

Lower level of the 5th tier of the water series.

Middle rank in the 5th tier of the wind series.

Croden Olentia’s level of mastery of five elemental attributes is extremely rare even among elemental magicians.

If we put all our effort into it, the gap will widen even further.

The debris of earth magic scattered here and there exploded all at once. The shards of debris shot through the ice barrier and struck the robe.

“… … !!”

Isabella let out an uncontrollable moan through her clenched teeth.

As long as you are a living, breathing creature, you will continue to regenerate due to unknown, abnormal effects, but the speed will gradually slow down, and there is a limit to your magical and mental power.

Croden’s mind flashed as he saw her staggering.

Two hook, whoosh!

A piece of stone that was shot out of the air just as it was about to touch the floor rose at a very oblique angle and struck Isabella’s knee.

In return, one of the clones’ left arm was frozen and shattered.

“……interest.”

“Bella… … !”

It’s painful.

One thing that makes me excited is that

It was a pain I had been so reluctant to feel, but the more I feel like I am getting closer to Isabella, the more it feels new to me.

“Isabella!!”

Croden temporarily blocked Isabella’s movements and forced the clones to collide fire and water, creating steam.

Next, manipulate the wind to increase the density of the water vapor and liquefy it. Five people, including the main body, cast towards it.

Pfft pfft pfft!

Their magics were linked together by [Habras’ Folly]. The chains, which increased in number in a chain, entangle Isabella.

A light flashing from the center.

With the sound of thunder as the background sound, Croden held the staff in his right hand and created a magic circle with his remaining clones in his left arm.

Several times faster than what the main body can implement on its own.

The circle of genius

Phew!

A unique magic circle created by the Transcendent One.

A three-dimensional pyramid confined Isabella in space.

At the same time, the lightning chains inside solidified while maintaining their lightning series characteristics, and their physical power became stronger.

Tsk tsk tsk───!

The lightning material, made of heat and electricity, wraps around Isabella’s shoulders and the middle of her thighs, heating them and causing an electric shock.

Burn the outer robe and all the flesh inside!

‘If you cut off a limb and continue to support the cross-section, regeneration will be useless.’

Croden couldn’t help but smile at the fact that he had finally subdued and secured his companion… … until Isabella spoke with a stern voice, her face twisted in pain.

“Idiot.”

“… … .”

Wow!

Suddenly, a pyramid-shaped thunder jade rose into the sky and scattered in all directions. The original power of the Heavenly Power was destroyed.

As Croden blinked blankly, the ice pick struck him. The last jewel in the bracelet fell limply.

How did you destroy the Master’s magic circle so easily? Why did you suddenly target the main body instead of the clone? You were watching the artifact so closely.

Countless thoughts pass through my mind.

But instead of pondering such questions, Croden acted instinctively. Now was the time, without Isabella’s interference.

widely!

He held the [Quarto] adorning his right wrist tightly with his empty left hand.

“Defend with magic.”

Light streams out through the gap between the hands.

A rare synonym that directly includes the word magic. An artifact that combines artificial technology with natural magical items.

A slew of magical spells came rushing in, first infusing magic into Croden. Gradually, a sense of fulfillment began to spread.

This was just the beginning.

Croden smiled.

“Isabella, let’s stop. I will forgive you for betraying me again. Let’s go together to the Bohemian Tower───”

“I think you’re mistaken about something.”

Isabella sneered.

“Do you think my magic can only affect other people and their magic?”

“……what?”

“If that’s what you thought, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong. Completely. The scope I can control is not that small.”

The magic of erosion.

The Sentence of Domination [Elderon].

Brother An.

“The essence of all things, in and of itself.”

Damn.

I heard a cracking sound.

In Croden’s hands.

The various spells flowing out from it were tangled in a chaotic manner. The light emanating from the bracelet flickered unsteadily.

“……uh?”

Inside the bracelet, not in Croden, a magical tumor that had been growing in size under Isabella’s gaze flashed.

Phew! Phew!

[Quarto] exploded.

Hundreds of shards erupted from the inside out.

Ironically, his right wrist was intact, but… … Croden’s left hand, which was tightly holding him, could not avoid the disaster.

Push.

Blood gushed out over the now empty wrist.

A scar that looks like it was torn off by something.

Croden, his pupils dilated to their limits, grabbed his left forearm.

“Khaaa …

This would be the most desperate scream compared to Croden’s actions so far.

That would be the case, since the injury was not indirectly transmitted through the clone, but rather the main body was damaged, so it was an appropriate reaction.

A terrible pain that I have never felt before in my life.

Croden took a few steps back, breathing heavily as if he was about to break.

An earthquake occurred in my eyes.

“You, you took control of someone else’s artifact with Madou? Ugh… …! How could something like that, such a ridiculous thing happen… …!”

“Thanks for taking so long.”

Basically, artifacts are not things that can be easily broken. It is nearly impossible to arbitrarily interfere with them using pure magic.

Therefore, in addition to seeing through the essence of the artifact with the eyes of the eye, it took considerable effort to control the source with the magic of erosion strengthened by [Elderon]’s start.

To eliminate variables for sure.

‘If it were me, it would have been much easier to finish it… … .’

Isabella pursues Verden’s teachings, but she is ultimately not Verden.

A fighting style that uses regenerative power as a weapon, exchanging offense and defense while ignoring injuries until one of you or your enemy cannot endure and eventually collapses.

This kind of brutal and ignorant thing is the only way Isabella can actively use her heteromorphism.

Phew.

He spat out the blood that had collected under his tongue.

The area where the bones had melted due to the lightning chain is slowly starting to twitch. I can feel the living tissues coming back to life and bonding together.

“… … .”

Croden, who was watching the scene, quietly lowered his breathing.

The expression on his face became calm.

The reason he acted alone even after infiltrating the Great Hall with the magicians was because of his obsession with Isabella, but also because he was confident that he would be safe as long as he did not encounter a Transcendent Being or a monster of a similar level.

Who would threaten?

The next Bohemian tower.

At least if we limit the target to Black Hour, we don’t think it’s worth reconsidering the possibility unless it’s the dark moon.

I’m not saying this out of pride, I’m saying it with sincerity.

However, it was none other than Isabella’s power that outweighed the anticipated threat.

‘Could it be… the magical, peak?’

The extreme is a realm that cannot be defined by anyone other than oneself, so it cannot be determined.

It’s meaningless.

Aside from the Master, the only one who could corner Croden like this in the Bohemian Tower was Angelo.

In other words, Isabella is on the same level as Angelo.

“under.”

In this situation, Croden’s actions are limited. He releases his magic concentration and casts at the same time.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he threw himself diagonally to the right rear.

Towards the only entrance and exit that has collapsed in the aftermath of magic.

Croden attempted to escape.

* * *

What’s wrong?

As per the Master’s orders, we had to clean up the Great Hall, occupy it, and rescue Isabella from Black Hour’s hands.

I just couldn’t understand how things had turned out this way.

‘First, I’ll bring the pancreas to its saturation. Then, I can treat the physical defects with Rayshen’s fake elixir. As for the side effects, Master will somehow take care of them. I can handle them all… … !!’

The door, which had been reduced to rubble from the center to below, was approaching. I willingly rushed toward the gaping hole.

The moment his upper body fell over, something caught him.

“I told you this is your grave?”

Isabella, who had caught up to him before he knew it, was grabbing his ankles violently.

Croden’s face paled.

From the moment he realized that Isabella was as strong as Angelo, he lost his will to fight. The thickly packed kernel was revealed.

I never learned how to stand up to and overcome the strong as a weak person at the Magic Tower.

“Tilon… … !”

Croden shouted.

“Tilon Narger!!!”

He called the highest elder and his immediate escorts of the Magic Tower, but received no answer. A sense of floating took hold of his entire body.

Kwaaang!

It struck the ground in a crescent shape. The heavy impact caused [Habras’ Folly] in his right hand to fly away.

“Isabel───”

Boom!

The instep hit my face.

Shattered teeth were mixed in with the blood that stretched far out.

Croden barely managed to touch the floor with his remaining right hand. Sticky saliva and blood dripped from the inside of his messy mouth.

“Phew, huff… … Okay, wait a minute. Isabella, tell me what I’m saying… … !”

“Raise your head.”

Isabella stomped on Croden’s calf, crushing it as he lay prone.

“Kuaaaaaaah!!!”

The man who had screamed instinctively straightened his back and raised his head. I grabbed his temples with my clawed hands.

Snap, snap.

Every time the bulging veins on the back of her hand twitched, a very dangerous sound came from Croden’s skull.

“Ugh, ugh.”

“Gardener Carver died with his neck stabbed by garden shears. Maid Marienne was reduced to ashes along with the mansion. And the youngest, Kael, committed suicide by stabbing herself in the neck with a dagger the moment she was taken hostage because she didn’t want her family to be threatened because of her. The second oldest, Xenia, fell after being hit in the side by the you cast. How is it? Do you remember now?”

Isabella, who finally succeeded in capturing Croden’s main body, was overcome by an intense sensation that made her blood boil.

Tears of blood were actually shed.

If it were up to me, I would like to give Croden a pain he will never forget, even after death. A pain greater than what his family suffered.

But I won’t spend any more time here.

‘My revenge ends here.’

Isabella forced Croden’s mouth open by pressing on his jawbone.

Fingertips digging into the skin. The air immediately became cold.

“Wait a minute… …! I have something to say… …!!”

Isabella didn’t stop. Croden soon squeezed out his voice desperately, unable to think.

“Your little sister!!!”

“You, until the end… … .”

“My little sister is alive!!!”

* * *

Isabella’s gaze was fixed, her golden eyes filled with astonishment.

My hands, which had gradually lost their strength, stopped without being able to move any further.

“What is it now, Xenia?”

“Yes, Xenia… … !”

Croden took Isabella’s wrist and took a shallow breath. He let air into his prayer and vibrated his vocal cords again.

“That day, you drank the [Revival Blood] and became a monster… …! After you scorched the surroundings and escaped, when we cleaned up the scene… …! Everything else was there. But there was no body, ugh, there wasn’t a single body… …!”

“… … .”

“It’s definitely not damaged beyond recognition. I can guarantee that. If it was, then it would be normal for at least some of it to remain… …! It’s even more impossible for it to have been lost along the way! Isabella, think carefully. At that time… … Are you sure that Xenia died?”

For Isabella, the scene that day was as black as darkness. Only the sticky sensation of how she escaped the mansion remained.

But everyone’s ending comes to mind clearly.

───Sister, run away… … … .

Zenia, who was counterattacked by Croden, falls down and hangs her head helplessly. A puddle of blood forms between her abdomen and the ground.

No answer… … .

Recovery is impossible unless a priest is present.

But there was no one to save Xenia, not even a priest. So it was natural to assume she was dead.

“So, are you saying that someone took Xenia away without you knowing?”

“Probably. There’s no way Xenia could have escaped on her own… …!”

Croden continued with difficulty.

“Well, I found traces though… …. To Xenia, it’s worthless, so I didn’t get help from the Magic Tower, but I made progress on my own. Isabella, I’m tracking it down just like I found you… …!”

“So where is Xenia?”

“No one but me knows… … ! The only clue is in my head… … ! I can say it for sure. So, you know… … ?”

Croden claims that if he kills himself, Xenia’s whereabouts will never be known. This is a reason why she should not be killed.

Is this a lie?

Is it true?

Isabella has no insight into human truth or falsehood.

We need Verden’s help.

However, I was very reluctant to let Croden live here. It felt like I was losing control of my life again.

It was at that time.

“Croden Olentia, what a shabby struggle, unbecoming of the next Bohemian Tower Lord.”

Medrant approaches, stepping over the debris littering the entrance floor.

Croden’s eyes twitched.

“Ostea Matapju? Why is Ostea Matapju here… …?”

“I’m sorry to interfere in your personal affairs, Isabella Deiros, but I think you may need some additional assistance.”

Medrant ignored Croden and faced Isabella. Then he raised both arms, revealing his wrists hidden by his robes.

Two bracelets.

A disposable magic item from the Society that can be used to determine truth or lies by understanding the other person’s true intentions.

The first bracelet glows red.

“It is ‘true’ that my sister is alive. At least, that is what Croden Olentia thinks.”

The second bracelet is flashing blue.

“But it’s a lie that I found traces of my sister and am chasing her.”

“what…….”

Croden let out a voice for a moment.

I tried to refute him urgently, but it was too late. I couldn’t do it.

I was speechless.

Because Isabella was glaring at Croden with wide eyes.

“Isabella, you don’t believe in such an unidentified magic item, do you? The Academy. Remember those days? Huh?”

“If you don’t know where Xenia is, there’s no reason to keep her alive.”

Bam.

Slender hands hooked the upper and lower jaws respectively. The corners of the mouth began to open forcibly.

“I told you.”

Isabella’s eyes became bloodshot.

“I’ll tear that mouth apart.”

“No… … Ah, aaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

Kwajijik───!

Revenge was a moment.

It was torn off too easily for a human body. That was the weight of the life of the enemy he hated so much.

Croden, no longer able to think, tilts helplessly.

Chul-chul.

Blood spurted everywhere. The sound of the air escaping from my lungs disappeared like a nightmare from one night.

The first disciple of the Bohemian Tower, Croden Olentia.

The bastard is dead.

“ha.”

The remnants of the past that had been tormenting her since she was 20 were finally gone. The relief of that moment was incomparable to anything else.

I hope this will be of some comfort to your family.

“Ahahaha.”

Isabella laughed, nearly half of her body covered in blood.

‘She is truly a scary woman.’

Medrant took off his bracelet and looked at her. Even from the perspective of the Matapist, it was honestly a bit scary.

At that moment, Isabella turned her back.

“Thank you, Guardian Sage. You were a great help. I will repay this debt later when I have the chance. But since you came here, I think the advance of Tilon and Jinchei’s siege has been blocked. Shall we go now?”

“I don’t have to pay back the debt… … but is it okay to move right away?”

“yes.”

Thinking about Croden, who tried to deceive me until the end, made me want to kill him again, but thanks to him, I gained an unexpected hope.

Xenia’s chances of survival.

It gave Isabella a boost of energy.

‘I don’t know who took Xenia or where she went… … but it’s okay.’

You can find it.

certainly.

Unlike in the past, Isabella has someone she can lean on.

‘But before that, we have to finish the all-out war.’

The battlefield of Sandhir Paen.

The power of the Great Hall, which had achieved its intended purpose, began to move.

* * *

The elements and pitch-black flames created by the magic circle cancel each other out. The continued aftershocks cause earthquakes and split the earth apart.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The Realm of Extinction expands its range by absorbing and burning the tinder without a trace.

Eventually, he reached the feet of the omnipotent transcendent being from afar, but even the netherworld could not invade his existence.

Second Collection [Lipraus]

The refined robes worn by Baloch provide complete protection to their owner from the influences of these magical realms.

Kwakwakwakwang!

The magic circle of anti-gravity that had risen to the forefront struck the Transcendent. The approaching Master of Annihilation was pushed back, and the distance between them widened again.

‘Surely, it’s Wesroel.’

There is no doubt that Baloch is fully prepared for all the situations he envisages.

So, if you stack the finishing blows as planned and use various desperate measures to block resistance and reduce them to a near-death state, that’s it…

‘What the heck?’

Unlike the opposite sex, the sense of discomfort that I felt from the beginning is growing stronger. No matter how much I look at it, all I can see is the characteristics of the dark moon.

So I can’t just take out the numbers hastily.

Hesitation arises.

An indecisive attitude that doesn’t suit Baloch Besias.

It was around that time that the Transcendent’s magic turned a small mountain near the Cliff of Eternity into a flat land.

“Who are you?”

Baloch asks.

Based purely on intuition.
