Chapter 159 – Another Evil
Raymund didn’t know what kind of battle Elise would have. Either Mattias ran away, or Elise killed him. So, it’s better to dig up information from the sorcerer now.
“Long medium brown hair, green eyes, and a sword with a skull on the hilt. I heard from one of the nudist camp members that you are a servant of God.” Mattias asked while placing his hands on his back. “Is that true?”
“If that’s true, so what?” Elise imitated her master’s words. She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly, trying to contain the emotions already bubbling up in her chest.
The person in front of her took advantage of other people, making them suffer.
Matthias nodded. “To what god do you serve?”
“God of hope.”
The sorcerer laughed. “If he really is the god of hope, why can’t he grant wishes to most of the world’s inhabitants!?”
“That’s impossible.” Elise gulped, still relaying Raymund’s words. “There are too many living beings in this world, and the servants he has…”.
“Then he’s not a god!” Mattias cut off the female warrior’s words. “A god should have unlimited divine power! He should be able to grant the wishes of all living beings in this world! Your master is just a being who has power above mortals! He still has limitations!”
Elise was silent because her master didn’t say anything else. Raymund couldn’t argue because he could see the point of Mattias’ statement. However, Raymund was not too affected by it. In the end, he was indeed not a god but an ordinary human.
“Scarlet will fix that. She will use a ritual that will make her divine. She will go to the so-called realm of God.” Mattias made a quote gesture with his fingers while displaying a disgusted face. “She will take over your master’s throne and become a better god.”
“So, she will make a bigger ritual, which will allow her to go to the realm of God? And she would do so without reducing her divine power?” Raymund said that with quivering lips, realizing the tremendous impact it would have.
It took a few seconds for Elise to digest all of Mattias’ words. The female warrior spoke again but did not imitate her master this time. “She is sir Raymund’s former servant. Why would she do something like this? Why would she want to kill sir Raymund?”
Mattias shrugged. “Honestly, I don’t know, and I don’t care.” 𝑓𝙧𝙚𝙚w𝙚𝙗𝒏oν𝐞l. c𝑜𝙢
“What?”
?[0)??? “As a magic researcher, I just want to see this experiment of mine succeed.” Mattias glanced at the purple dress attached to a headless wooden mannequin. “And scarlet wanted to help me make this. Both manpower and resources.”
“The time is now, Elise.” Raymund checked the time in his game UI.
The god wanted to dig up more information, but they ran out of time.
The female warrior stepped forward and swung her sword. However, she crashed into an invisible wall which instantly electrocuted her, sending her flying for several feet.
” He was talking at length to buy time, Elise.” Raymund made the analysis. “He doesn’t want you to attack the magic barrier. It has limits and can be broken.”
“It’s no use.” Mattias sighed, looking unfazed by that. “You won’t be able to…”
Elise only took a short time to get up and attack the invisible wall.
“Stop it.” Mattias shook his head, looking at Elise, who continued to hit the magic barrier protecting the man and the dress. “You’re just wasting your time.”
Elise ignored those words and continued to beat the barrier non-stop. Not long after, Lynn limped into the room and helped with her knife.
Mattias’s shoulders flinched every time Elise hits hard enough. And finally, cracks began to form in that barrier.
“Keep doing that, Elise.” Raymund encouraged. “I heard from Kimi that Mattias can cast massive magic using both hands. Maybe he’s doing it now, with his hands behind his back. The magic will blow up the town, and those inside the barrier won’t be affected. He wanted to destroy all the enemies that might have entered that town. Kimi says he does go overboard sometimes. “
“N-no way.” Mattias’ eyes widened as the cracks in his magical barrier grew. “It shouldn’t have broken my barrier so quickly… Hey, where did you get that sword from!?”
Elise’s face showed an expression similar to that of a hungry beast. So wild and terrifying.
There is an evil in front of her, and she wants to destroy it.
“Argh!” Elise pushed Lynn aside for being in her way.
The woman with the big braid could only sit on the floor gawking.
“Damn it!” The panicked Mattias moved his hand forward, canceling the special magic he was chanting. He then shot out a stream of blue flames from his palms, able to penetrate the barrier.
Elise got pushed back a few steps because of the stream of flames, but she could go forward and continue beating the barrier. Her body was indeed protected by her magically enhanced armor. However, that doesn’t mean the fire that hits her body isn’t hot.
“Elise? Elise!? What happened, Elise!?” Raymund shouted at his servant. It’s clear that Elise is losing her mind.
Lynn was speechless and just stood there with a trembling body. Meanwhile, Mattias fell to the ground because his legs were so weak. He accidentally canceled his fire magic. “M-monster.”
The tip of Elise’s sword had already crossed the barrier. Mattias shook his head, turned, and crawled away.
“Stop it, or he will die!” That scream rang out from behind Elise.
The female warrior halts her beating. She looked back and found Zak, who was sticking his knife to Rupert’s neck. The older brother was kneeling with his eyes closed, and his body was covered in blood from his sustained cuts.
Elise pointed her sword at Zak, still with her hungry beast-like expression.
“No, stay there.” Zak spat blood on the floor. His face was quite battered. “Mattias, don’t just sit around like that! This is your chance to escape with that magic dress!”
The sorcerer gasped, then hastily removed the dress from the mannequin.
“Hurry up, fucking old man!” The younger brother cursed.
Lynn took a few steps forward, clutching her aching left leg. The veins on her face tightened. “You really are a trash, Zak.”
