A new barracks collapses, not even the rats were spared. Golden chains prevent any of them from escaping, while the fan of the god of death claims their lives and casts them into hell.
Her current level, level 472.
Lawrence thinks the goal is near, while Coldness Divine attacks a new barracks then she will reach level 500 and this indiscriminate hunt will end.
How naive of him.
"Are you compressing your level?!"
Sitting in front of him, Coldness Divine uses the sa technique Lawrence taught her.
"Stop, you're compressing an unstable base. You of all people should know, you're--"
"Am I crazy?"
Coldness Divine opens her eyes and looks at Lawrence, "Crazy... yes... I am."
She closes her eyes and compresses her level again, only this ti blood begins to erge from her eyes, nose, and mouth. Unyielding to the pain, blood starts to ooze from her pores this ti.
'Hah, when I thought this dragon bitch couldn't surprise , she does it again!'
Reluctantly, Lawrence heals her wounds, turning the compression with a clearly failed outco into a successful one.
Her current level, level 426.
"With this, I'll be able to level up quickly again."
From the beginning, level 500 was just a na, what she desires is to acquire all the power she can until she can no more, that level is just the limit her body will bear.
"By the way, do you think I look weak?"
Lawrence looks her up and down and nods, "If I didn't know you, I'd underestimate you."
"Great, glad to hear that."
"..."
Have her screws finally co loose? The actions of Coldness Divine simply fall into the category of a madwoman.
As he follows Coldness Divine, Lawrence is amazed at the magnitude of the subspace. He has never tried to discover its limits for fear of raising suspicions, but the environnt is incredibly vast. It is possible to glimpse all kinds of nature, while so residences are strategically placed, others are simply side by side with a few kiloters of privacy.
"This is the breaking point."
In the distance is a barracks different from the rest, both its architecture and its composition are in the highest category. There is no need to think much to understand, the hunters inside are ant to protect the subspace against an external threat.
Lawrence sees this and then looks at Coldness Divine's face.
Then he sighs. "Take this."
"What is this?"
In all her regressions, this is the first ti Lawrence has taken such an action.
"dicinal pills."
"How? It's forbidden here--"
"I have an acquaintance, rember?"
"..."
"Tsk, just eat them and don't ask."
The next mont Lawrence pulls an elental sword from his storage ring, followed by various magic artifacts which he positions on different parts of his body.
When she looks at him silently, he snorts. "What? I don't have one for you, until now I didn't know you focused on magical disruptions. I had so fire artifacts, but I don't think they'd be useful to you."
Coldness Divine opens her mouth, but then shakes her head.
'My affinity is fire magic, if it weren't for my enemies outnumbering ... Regressions are my only point in favor.'
Though she might try to tell Lawrence, it makes no sense. Even she doesn't know if she'll succeed this ti, she doesn't want to explain sothing he won't rember.
The most important thing about this iteration is that Lawrence is not as simple as he seems. In all her regressions, he never used a forbidden item. Who is his benefactor? Can she use this knowledge for her own benefit?
Thinking about this, Coldness Divine consus the dicinal pills and then heads towards the barracks.
"This ti will be different, I must overco this barrier."
In profound solitude, only she understands the aning of her words.
The vigilance in the barracks is very different from the rest, the identity of each of the hunters must be verified before entering, conducting constant rounds to prevent intruders.
Despite this, Coldness Divine easily infiltrates inside.
"You're as cautious as ever."
In front of a door, she smiles subtly. "Thanks to you I've learned a lot."
Her delicate fingers touch different key points on the door, the next second a magic formation appears over it. Coldness Divine continues interacting casually with it until it disappears.
She ntally visualizes the interior and then enters as if her life depended on it.
"Who?!"
The woman resting in her bed wakes up, circulating her mana preparing to enter battle, but her preparations take a second too long.
"Aaagh!"
Her right arm flies through the air.
Coldness Divine does not stop, her fan moves towards the woman's neck, but unexpectedly it stops just an inch from it.
"You were the closest ever to taking my life."
Her words enter deaf ears.
After succeeding in her attack, Coldness Divine hurries out of the room and kills as many as possible.
The woman sighs. "My, I was hoping to have a little conversation."
The woman sees her arm on the ground and instead of getting angry, she calmly stops the bleeding and stores her severed arm in her storage ring.
As she runs, Coldness Divine thinks: 'After dozens of regressions, I understood, taking her life in a single attempt is impossible.'
"Who's there--?"
The man doesn't react in ti, a fan cuts from his shoulder to his heart.
Coldness Divine takes a deep breath and rembers that woman, "Hurting her to this extent is enough, going further will produce the opposite effect."
In her mind, hundreds of images appear and in all of them, that woman is the protagonist of her tragic failures. Thanks to her, she has had to reach this point of sacrificing herself to obtain the conclusion she desires.
After assassinating nine n, an alarm sounds in the barracks.
"Is this the right ti?"
She looks at the ceiling and closes her eyes, the sound of the environnt couldn't matter less. Her thoughts span dozens of circumstances, and unlike all these...
"It is... it must be."
She stops her killings and jumps from the window to the main courtyard.
The state of ergency alerts all the waiting hunters, they stop all their activities and gather under the command of a single woman.
"You could have continued killing in secret, I'm surprised you can be here, waiting for us. So calm."
With long golden hair to her heels, a peaceful look and beautiful features. The smile on her face dazzles those of different color eyes, the left green, the right blue. If it weren't for her missing right arm, she'd be perfect.
Her na, Noble Indolence. An elf of level 580.
The commander of the private army.
"In my life, I never thought to behave this way, thanks to you I've opened my eyes to a new path. The world has never been so wide to ."
Noble Indolence blinks with curiosity, the criminal's words are simple, but unexpectedly capable of stimulating her thoughts.
"The end marks the beginning once more."
Divine Coldness remains silent at her words.
"Do you know what that ans? The dragon I killed told those words before dying. I originally thought it was talking about reincarnation... it wasn't."
Everyone gasps upon hearing their commander, killing a dragon? Is that even possible? In the Divine Plane, dragons have an incalculable level, their strength rivals their long lifespan.
'Did she kill a dragon without attracting the attention of the Will of Nature?'
The most surprised were not her own n, but one watching from a distance. Lawrence. 'If the worst-case scenario happens, does killing in the Divine Plane have no consequences?'
"Noble Indolence"
Noble Indolence is surprised. 'Hmm? Does she know ?'
"You will never understand, your Way is dood to fail."
"..."
"Your purpose differs from your desire, talent does not equal conclusion. You failed when you thought you glimpsed the end, you haven't even begun to perceive it."
Her thin eyebrows furrow upon hearing Coldness Divine. Internally she knows the problems that plague her, her understanding continually advances, but a feeling of restlessness takes shape with each step forward.
'Has this dragon seen through ? Maybe... Maybe she has the answer that has remained elusive for so long.'
Noble Indolence has made a decision.
"My way in the magic formations, today you will witness it."
Taking the lead, Noble Indolence creates a magic formation in front of her, her n imdiately know what to do. They perform various patterns with their hands and expand the magic formation to terrifying levels.
Decaying Fla is one thing, Noble Indolence is a world apart.
A formation that should take ti to be ready, there it is.
Completed in just seconds.
"I will squeeze every drop of your knowledge."
The pressure exerted by the magic formation destroys part of the barracks, a wind current is generated sending the surrounding trees flying. With hundreds of ters of reach, nothing can escape its intricate moving symbols.
Seeing this, Coldness Divine clenches her fists and smiles broadly.
"I congratulate you for not losing your cool." Noble Indolence casually moves her hand and sends the massive magic formation towards Coldness Divine. "There are a hundred and two fundantal pillars, only one of them will allow you to escape from it. Go ahead, tempt your luck."
This ti Coldness Divine cannot hide her euphoria and spreads her wings.
"Hundreds were the tis I needed for this."
She takes flight and heads straight for a certain magic circle in the formation.
"Today nothing will take away the happiness of this mont!"
Noble Indolence holds her breath and then her heart beats rapidly. Her calm and clear face has now changed, she didn't think she could see through her magic formation! This wounds her pride!
"Guiding Apex stop her, no matter the sacrifices you incur."
"Commander..."
"It's an order."
Guiding Apex, the lowest-level hunter, forcibly withdraws from the magic formation. This procedure is incredibly painful, sparks co out of his body and the damage to his internal organs expands with every second.
As soon as he manages to escape the formation, he looks at Coldness Divine with hatred. "Gods or demons, no one will be able to stand in my way!"
"Noble Indolence!"
Coldness Divine's shout only causes a click of the tongue from Noble Indolence. Today she may have won, but the confidence of her n will be difficult to restore to its forr position.
Coldness Divine grits her teeth. 'Just a few ters, a few more seconds and I can destroy her magic formation!'
But her attempts are destined to fail, Guiding Apex may have the lowest level, but his level 501 is enough to stop her temporarily.
Coldness Divine screams with all her might. "Lawrence!"
Lawrence sighs internally when she ntions his na.
At that mont an elental sword appears, Guiding Apex has no ti to react. The sword embeds in his body and explodes, generating lightning in all directions. Sacrificing an elental sword, the last resort few are willing to undertake.
Guiding Apex dies without even letting out a pitiful scream.
"If its elent were sacred, I wouldn't have sacrificed it even for you."
At that mont Coldness Divine strikes the weakest pillar, shattering the massive magic formation.
"Nooo!"
For the first ti, Noble Indolence shows fear.
If the destruction of magic generates a backlash capable of temporarily revoking the ability to use mana, the destruction of a magic formation not only replicates this effect but also generates a backlash to the consciousness of the user.
The formation shatters into pieces, instantly dozens of hunters fall to the ground losing consciousness. Only a few can barely maintain flight.
Among them, Noble Indolence.
"Your mistake was underestimating , when I have faced you hundreds of tis!"
From her fan erges a fire magic that consus Noble Indolence, the scorching heat incinerates her beauty. Her hair, clothing, her skin, nothing is forgiven.
"Aaaaagh!"
The screams continue for minutes, until the lower-level magic harvests the life of a ranker who surpasses her by more than 150 levels.
