Chapter 119: Dekan’s Great Mercy Saves the World
“Waaah!”
Isabel let out a sound of anger.
Yet she couldn’t even curse properly.
Although she’d heard that Dekan had a particularly sinister card that interfered with throat functions, she only truly understood how disgusting “Silence” was after experiencing it herself.
And she noticed that Dekan enjoyed messing with her mindset, always interfering at the moments she thought she was about to succeed.
What was worse was that the effects and procedures of the “True Words Blood Contract” were now completely exposed to Dekan.
Sinister individuals weren’t frightening; what was frightening was when a sinister person saw through everything about you.
A sense of crisis turned into a chill, instantly crawling up Isabel’s spine to the back of her skull.
Isabel didn’t dare to use the purification magic to dispel the Silent state right away.
Instead, she cautiously alerted herself to her surroundings, as if facing a great peril.
Dekan must be hiding nearby!
If she wastefully used her purification, she might not even finish her last word before another toxic magic like “My Silence Spell” hit her, thus wasting one of her purifications.
“Silence” was an abnormal state created exclusively by Dekan, and the cost of its imposition was too low.
Magic that interferes with throat and vocal cords was much simpler than most toxic magics.
However, normally no one focuses on researching such toxic magic except sinister people.
Besides guarding against Dekan, there was another troublesome person to be aware of.
Reasonably speaking, there was no way Dekan could avoid the detection of her, a seventh-rank assassin.
He must have had a higher-ranked accomplice.
Before Isabel could pinpoint Dekan’s position, a bright light suddenly appeared on the frost-covered ground.
Isabel didn’t have enough time to close her eyes, and the entire world turned into light!
It was “Sun Fist.”
Dekan’s specially crafted dazzling magic.
“Waaaah!”
Isabel angrily growled.
Because Isabel had used “Pain Sensory Block” earlier, she didn’t feel the expected pain in her eyeballs.
But she knew that her eyes were streaming with uncontrollable tears.
She had never experienced how irksome it was battling sinister people like this.
This supersonic flash didn’t really affect her investigative abilities.
After all, with her scout’s perception capability, she didn’t need to rely on sight to locate her enemies.
Finally, based on the position of the Sun Fist, Isabel determined Dekan’s hiding place.
What a pair of bastards!
They had been hiding in the sky using invisibility and wind magic!
Even Isabel, an excellent scout, wouldn’t waste time checking invisible units dozens of meters above the wild terrain!
Just as Isabel locked onto the two in the sky, she felt a powerful magical fluctuation.
This magical power came from Dekan’s companion!
In the short term, she couldn’t see the appearance of Dekan’s companion clearly.
The sky was shining with fire.
It seemed like the sun was about to fall.
A fiery spear suddenly appeared at the tip of Chloix’s staff and descended like a thunderbolt, smashing into the ground.
“Ugh!”
Isabel instinctively retreated to dodge the magic attack.
But she had no chance to take the Ice Snow Princess with her.
The ritual for the “True Words Blood Contract” was forcefully interrupted.
The intensity of that earlier magical attack made Isabel feel slightly disheartened for a moment.
Even though it was just a sixth-rank fire magic, its accuracy and power surpassed the sixth-rank boundaries.
If she had taken a full hit, Isabel might not have fared well either.
However, this attack seemed to have targeted the Ice Snow Princess from the start!
The nearly dead Ice Snow Princess would definitely not survive.
Isabel stared furiously at the scorched Ice Snow Princess on the ground, wanting to roar but unable to speak.
She didn’t expect Dekan to be so ruthless.
To prevent Isabel from capturing the eighth-rank top card maker, he had mercilessly killed the Ice Snow Princess as soon as he appeared.
After that, Isabel could only look up with hatred at the two figures in the sky.
Dekan and Chloix descended from a cloud of mist with their backs to the sun, their halos looking divine, gracefully landing on the ground as if they were celestial beings.
It was strange that both of them were wearing sunglasses, adding an inexplicably arrogant aura to their sacred and majestic statures.
Dekan’s attire was particularly grand, making him resemble a great power player.
“Namu Black Help Father Bodhisattva, with great mercy to save the world.”
Dekan spoke in a flat tone as soon as he landed, uttering a phrase that Isabel couldn’t understand.
He took off his sunglasses and looked at Isabel with a gaze full of pity.
This made Isabel’s eyes twitch.
Are they looking down on her?
Since “My Silence Spell” was only a second-level magic, it didn’t have a long duration of control over Isabel, being a seventh-rank.
She felt that she could finally speak.
“You two, listen well! When the Ice Snow Princess dies, the freed Destruction Demon King will go and destroy Tristin City! It was you who personally massacred everyone in Tristin City! All of this is your fault!”
Isabel screamed toward the direction of the Ice Snow Princess, her rage driving her mad.
However, not far away.
In the flames, the Ice Snow Princess’s eyes were tightly closed, though she was enduring the pain, her expression seemed tranquil.
She didn’t know what had happened that made Isabel interrupt the declaration at such a critical moment.
Nor did she know who had attacked her with such a fiery magic that felt like it was burning her soul.
But she was grateful to whoever ended her life.
Letting her die by her own will.
Giving her release.
She had lost.
Unable to personally protect the people of Tristin City…
Since reinforcements had arrived,
There was still hope.
The last thing she could do was use the last bit of power stored within her broken body to suppress the Destruction Demon King for just one more second.
Then, she would bid farewell to this beautiful yet cruel world…
One second passed.
Two seconds passed.
…
She didn’t know how many seconds had gone by.
“…”
The Ice Snow Princess gradually felt something was amiss.
The flame hurt, but why did she feel her condition was being restored?
The Ice Snow Princess looked around with a puzzled expression as she rose slightly, like a girl waking up from a nap.
The three people nearby were staring at her.
Isabel’s expression was like she had seen a ghost.
And Dekan and Chloix were looking at her with satisfied smiles, like two head doctors who had just finished an expert consultation.
“It’s you!”
The Ice Snow Princess looked at Dekan, her clear and bright silver pupils seemingly shining with luster.
She originally thought the most regretful thing in her long life would certainly be not listening to that boy’s absurd advice when she first heard it.
In what she thought were her last few seconds of life, she pondered repeatedly.
If she had talked more with that boy this morning,
Would the outcome have changed?
But she knew all that was empty thinking.
She not only abandoned her own hope but also personally pushed away the person who wanted to save her.
Unexpectedly,
In the darkest hour, the one who came to save her again was this mysterious young man.
